INSECURITY

Did you know that it is not the will of God to be insecure? When someone lives by insecurity, they are not free to live by the Spirit of God. The reason is because insecurity's focus is on self; the Holy Spirit's focus is Christ. When one is led of the Spirit, they are free from insecurity because his or her focus is on Christ, not self.

Insecurity is very dangerous to a person's life. What are the affects of insecurity? Insecurity keeps you in the state of fear and anxiety. Insecurity keeps you thinking negative thoughts about yourself which can turn to false guilt. Insecurity can keep you from taking initiative or taking steps spiritually, perhaps in your relationships, or even your career or calling. Dangerously, insecurity keeps you from being corrected, even from those who love you and want the best for your life. This can be dangerous since refusing to face the truth about things in life is pride. And we all know what follows pride- a fall. The one who is controlled by insecurity and never deals with it will be tormented, live in deception, confusion, and in turn will hurt and even deceive others around them. Bottom line, insecurity is a prison God never intended for you.

How do we get out of insecurity? Rest in God's love. Be assured of your salvation by grace through faith alone. Be confident in what God says you are and what you have in Christ. Don't focus on yourself but focus on Christ. Rely on God's Word, His voice to you. When you find your security in Christ, there is nothing to be insecure about. Only then will Christ fill you with His confidence, faith, and boldness through Himself.

Insecure? Destroy it before it takes its toll on you and others around you.
