Papa's Bedtime Story: Overcoming Fear

On October 25, 2013, God narrated a story about facing fear to me. It was like a father reading a bed time story to his precious son. This is one of my most cherished encounters with our loving Papa God. As He narrated His voice was so tender, sweet, loving and reassuring. I remember during that time in my life I needed to hear His tender loving words and they revived my soul. He is such a loving Papa. His love never fails.

 Papa Narrates:

There was a son afraid of flying. He never entered a plane. But one day he decided to face his fear. He chose to face his fear using his will. He knew his dad loved traveling to Denver, Colorado to ski. This time he wanted to join the flight and go with his dad.

The son had a long conversation with his dad in the airport about memorable times together as a family. 

Finally, his dad says, "I am ready to go." Then his son replied, "I want to go with you!" 

His dad responds, "But you can't fly." with a chuckle. The son says, "I can fly. I will go with you and fly. I want to spend time with you and I won't let fear come in my way." Now his dad loved to fly, and he always wanted to fly with his son. When his dad heard this response. Tears run down his precious cheek. These were tears of joy and love. He was finally going to have a moment he longed for with his dear son. To fly together and enjoy the Denver Mountains.

The son had a ticket he had bought the previous day after deciding to go on this triumphal journey of overcoming fear.

The son pulled out his ticket and embraced his dad saying, "Let us go in!". As soon as the son pulled out the ticket, the father was beaming with joy. This was the moment of victory, when the son pulled out his ticket and chose to fly.They entered the plane and they shared more intriguing family moments and their relationship grew even more after this. It was a new day, a new season, every year the son and father flew to Denver, Colorado to ski.

After overcoming this fear a lot of gifts came out of the son. He always wanted to become a teacher of  God's truth  He started a church with the help of his father. His messages were centered around overcoming fear and the love of God. His church grew in stature, power and influence. Going beyond the four walls and touching people around the world. God used him in a mighty way to touch the nations.

God has given us the grace to overcome fear. It is a choice to exercise our free will. Bible encourages us to choose life in all situations. When we overcome our fears, a red carpet of discovering the potential with in us unfolds and we begin to move from glory to glory.

If there is any fear in you today that may be hindering you from walking in your path of destiny, I want to let you know the Spirit of God in you  is greater than any spirit of fear and you are more than conquerors in Christ. Choose not to walk in fear and partner with Almighty to God to be victorious. God have given you a spirit of love, power and sound mind.

Blessing

May God fill you with His Spirit and may you be as a bold as a lion in all that you do. May God give you the grace to trust Him no matter the situation and may all your confidence be in the living God. A mighty God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. May His perfect love cast out all fear in your soul. May the Shepherd of your soul heal and restore your soul that you may be liberated to live for Him. In Jesus Name. Amen
