Sunday night was Twenty20 and I was serving on the ushering team. During the worship time God really spoke to me again. He has themed recently again on fear, pointing out all the fears I have, one by one. A good way into the worship he struck me with realization of a lie that I had believed so long ago. A lie that has been holding me back from what I am doing this year and a lie that really has been holing me back ever since I first believed it.
It was back 2 or 3 years ago when I was on a missions trip to the Dream Center in Peoria (LA has the mother Dream Center). On this missions trip, I spent a lot of time with kids, for we were doing VBS programs throughout inner city Peoria. I didn't feel that I was that good with the kids, in fact, I wasn't. l was very awkward around them and my mind seemed to blank every time I tried to talk to them and sharing the Gospel with them didn't go well. Because of a week of this, satan placed the lie in my head that I am not good with kids. Even though it was just a bad experience, I felt awful and I believed him.
Now, God has shown me this lie and has set me free from it. I know that I am good with kids, I just have to push myself out of my little comfort zone that has little fears of what could happen. But God is helping me through that. He is giving me confidence and assurance. Praise be to God! He is Good!
