Fearless Living Key Lessons

I inspire you to live without fear! Now believe me when I say this: I live with fear everyday! At least I see it, can confess it, and thus get rid of it! I have been going through some really trying times lately. Sometimes I think I am just barely making it from one day to another... I try to surround myself with lessons I need to learn, truths I need to believe, and people who can lift my spirit.

Guy Finley has some Special Key Lessons in Review in his book Fearless Living. They are very profound and I had to read some of them multiple times to be able to absorb the meaning. Please read each one as many times as you need to, to understand the lesson and free yourself from needless fear!

1. Reliving some past pain with the idea that by doing so you won't have to go through that suffering again is like throwing money out the window so you won't spend it foolishly later on.

2. True fearlessness is knowing we are made for whatever happens to us whenever we are willing to let God remake us in that moment.

3. Fear is the bitter fruit that grows out of this unchallenged belief: Unless we struggle to satisfy our own desires, we shall never know fulfillment.

4. Fear and anger -- as is true of all negative states -- are "undercover agents." Their "soul" task, in any moment of conflict with life, is to rush in and cover up any possible impression that would otherwise reveal that we don't possess the "powers" to which we pretend.

5. Either we live in the freedom that we know is real -- choosing to embody it in the moment, regardless of the cost -- or we wave a flag called "liberty tomorrow" and suffer the indignity of serving what has already betrayed us.
