Fearless...
God has been revealing more and more to me the importance of having my identity fully in Him... stuff like having true revelation and complete confidence in being a son of God, a Kingdom worker, more than a conqueror, redeemed, holy, a prince and heir to the throne, a minister of God, anointed, chosen, not of this world, and others... Today another identity trait stood out to me while reading Philippians, and it is that we should also be known as: FEARLESS.
Philippians 1:27-28(ESV) - "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God."
As we understand that we are spiritual beings who are of heaven and not of earth, then the lies and grips this world has on us lose their strength and are overcome. As we grow in this confidence, we should fear nothing of this world, whether it be people, circumstances, or even the devil himself. We are redeemed and saved and nothing can separate us from God's love. So why should we fear evil? Its when we are able to confront evil with full confidence in who we are in Christ that the enemy has no choice but to run. He can't touch a man walking in God's promises. His lies and deceptions don't stand a chance.
Fearless!
