    What If Fear Wasn’t Holding You Back?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,916 views

    Overcoming our fears is not about us … it’s all about Him. It’s all about whether you will allow God to be more than enough for you! If you will, then you can cast your fears behind you and in freedom become all that God desires you to be!

    How do we overcome the fear that is holding us back? Let’s face it, fear impacts us all. We all have things that create fear within us. But, when these fears hold us back and keep us from becoming the people God would have us be, it’s time to throw them off. Key Verse: Hebrews 12:1 ...read more
