"Dare to Believe"



Fear is the most crippling force in the life of a believer. Fear begins, genereally, with a whisper of doubt like ... "has God really said ... ?" From there, if we allow that doubt to distract our attention, it eats away at our faith until fear begins to rule. Sound familiar? "Dare to believe My Word. Dare to believe My promises...to you. Dare to believe that I am Who I say...and the extravagance of My love for you," I hear the Lord say. HOW do we stand against those whispers of doubt? How did Jesus do it? With the WORD! Here are some "WORDS" to help conquer FEAR in our lives.
