Fear Is Holding You Back

Boats only sink when the situation on the outside gets on the inside.  When you allow the things outside to go inside you begin to go down.  Don't allow the things on the outside to affect your thought life.
Matthew 14:22-33
Negative, doubtful, fearful, bad news boys - all those people begin to leave holes in your faith.  You want to be with people who build you up and strengthen you and fortify you so you can go through it.  If you wanna know what your heart is filled with, listen to what your mouth speaks. 
Matthew 12:34
When the heart is full of the Holy Ghost it speaks in the unknown language.  God is hard to recognize in a storm.  Then enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.  Because you are rocking on the boat of mediocrity and God is bringing you an opportunity, but you lack the courage to step out.  Fear is the greatest robber of many.  You've got to overcome it!!  Don't let fear rob you of opportunities.  On the other side of fear is the promise of God.  Only one man out of 12 disciples had the courage to step up and ask the Lord to bid him to come.  Peter was with them but not like them - he wanted to be closer.  Call me to the opportunity and away from the circumstance.  Where you are is not where God is calling you.  He's got more for you than what you've experienced.  You've gotta say goodbye to fear and say hello to the abundant life!  It's a spirit that keeps bringing up your weaknesses and not your strengths.  God is not finished with you yet.  God has more for you.  What is down inside of you?  What would you do if you had no fear?  Whatever your answer is - that's what fear is robbing from you.  Before you finish sinking - the God who called you will snatch you out of the waters.  It's not that He wants you to just step into it - He wants you to be excited about it.  If it's God - no devil in hell can stop you!!
