I was honored to serve on Kelly Balarie’s launch team for her new book, Fear Fighting. It is on sale today! Go to fearfightingbook.com to purchase.
Kelly’s book is a powerful, rich, bold account of how God helped her fight fear and lessons you can take into your own battle against fear.
My 12 favorite parts of this book:
- Definition of a fear fighter, page 16
- Kelly uses a contemporary God-voice in scripture-based prayers. So fresh and relevant! Example on page 22.
- Her story about seeing the world through Spirit-led tetrachromatic eyes, page 33
- What she wants to tell the little girl inside about fighting fear, page 55
- Five ways to fight the enemy, and ten things the enemy wants you to believe, page 71
- Creating a prayer vase, page 85
- What God does with your feelings, page 89
- Hope vs. worry: the stop, drop, and roll technique, page 101
- How the Holy Spirit works in you, page 134
- The Holy Spirit as a love dispenser, page 152
- What God says about your past, page 157
- Reprogramming and redirecting, page 161
This is how I will apply Kelly’s teaching to my fears in 2017:
- Say sayonara to my fears about finances, since we face a big tax bill in April. God will provide!
- Bid adieu to fears about raising my first teenage child in a darkening culture, since God holds us all in his righteous right hand.
- Kiss fear goodbye as I continue to self-publish Bible studies. I don’t know if they will provide a decent income, and I don’t know if I will secure a contract with a major publisher this year. God is faithful, and I’m trusting in His perfect timing.
- I will create a prayer vase to record my prayers, and unfold them at the end of 2017 to be wowed by God’s steadfast commitment to me.
- I will renew my relationship with the Holy Spirit, praying specifically that He will alleviate my fears.
- I will offer up my past to my heavenly Father, allowing him to sift and search me for any unforgiveness and residual fears.
- I will place my trust in him as I travel to writer’s conferences, not fearing what is to come but trusting God will open new doors of blessing!
