Do you have a dream or want to live a life of significance? Me too!
Do you want to fulfill your God-given purpose and long to hear, “well done my good and faithful servant”?
Are you stuck at the starting gate, or maybe you stepped out and froze with fear? I hear ya on that one!
This week I’m focusing on overcoming the fear that stops us from fulfilling our dreams. Today, I’m sharing the three facets of Live Fearlessly Free so you can finally fulfill your dreams.
Today is for you if:
If you need the courage to step out into the unknown, called your dreams.
If you’re unsure, you can really do what God put in your heart to do.
If you’re ready for 2023 to be different from last year or a decade or two.
God has called you to a life of purpose – a life of significance.
Fear is the biggest obstacle to fulfilling your dreams – living your life significance.
Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of rejection, fear of being an inconvenience if I did what I wanted to do, fear of disconnection, fear of conflict, fear of…
God taught me three lessons to help me overcome fear and finally start Living Fearlessly Free, so I could stop hiding, show up fully myself and fulfill His purpose for my life.
1. Delight in an intimate relationship with God
It all starts here. It’s the foundation of who we become because our Creator knows how He designed us.
Rest in Father’s Love–know how fully loved you are just as you are.
Rest in Father’s Grace–know that Father is leaning toward you to give you His best.
Rest in Father’s Presence–knowing you’re loved and receiving His grace; you can finally rest in His presence.
Now that you’re delighting in an intimate relationship with Father, you can stop hiding, and it opens you up to discover your true identity.
2. Discover your true identity
When you embrace your true identity, you can show up fully yourself.
Discover Your Story–dig up the old story that isn’t serving you.
Discover Your Self–remove the crude hiding our true selves and embrace who we are.
Discover Your Gifts–now that we changed our story and seen our true selves, we can discover our gifts so we can give them to the world.
Once you start stepping out into your calling, guess what pops up?!
You guessed it! FEAR.
Now what? Do we give up? How do we overcome fear?
3. Direct your imagination to work for you
Fear uses our imagination to work against us. But we need to learn how to get it working for us.
Develop Your Mindset – learn how powerful your mind is and how it affects us for good or not so good.
Develop Your Discipline – put the habits in place that support our imagination to keep working for us.
Develop Your Courage–learn how to generate the courage to keep going and do that thing we’re afraid of anyway.
These three areas will help you Live Fearlessly Free, so you can stop hiding, show up fully yourself and fulfill your God-given purpose.
You are a gift to the world, but you must give it. But if you’re in fear, you won’t give it.
So over the next three episodes, we’ll unpack how to get your imagination working for you instead of against you.
