No Fear!!! Are you fearless?

This past Sunday, I had the honor of being asked back to Tree of Life Ministries in Kansas City, KS (my old stomping ground) to share my performance ministry with their young people for a second time. The theme of their back to school bash: NO FEAR. Could there be any more fitting a theme for someone willing to stand up to the abuse suffered at the hands of another?! Even with the short notice, I could not refuse.

“This Is The Poem”–the piece that I ministered and which is central to my ministry with 1 Small Voice–is about finding the core of your courage and standing saying no more. It has been such a gift to share what the Lord has given me through that poem that I never tire of it. Knowing that in the room every single time is someone who knows the precise pain and shame I went through and is somehow encouraged and touched by my words is a blessing I could have never really imagined I would receive.

Are you living a fearless life? Free now from the hand of your abuser, are you walking in the freedom that is there for you or are you living in fear? Are you suffering from the shame of what was done to you (or what someone has caused you to believe that you allowed)? The bible teaches us that fear is not of God, so why bother to hold on to it. He has given you the power of love, peace and a sound mind. The POWER!!!! He has given you power! Power to be fearless, unafraid of those who have hurt you, are hurting you, or dare not to believe you. My prayer for you today is that you live fearless, powerful, God-centered lives, that you might know the joy of the abundant life that God has promised you!

Thank you TREE OF LIFE MINISTRIES for the invitation and I look forward to joining you again!
