She has an intimate relationship with God and knows His voice. She credits God with being her keeper. Soon after, it was in her quiet time, that God began to show her what her purpose was. Today, she is being used for God's Kingdom in a mighty way. It's so big that the devil should be horrified. The Bible says to, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). It's not going to make sense to leave your job or get a pilot's license when you're afraid of heights. What you need to understand is that your destiny is on the other side of fear. Think of fear as a call to action. Send that email, make that call or write that business plan. God is saying, "There are some places I want to show you, some places where I need to use you, something I want to birth in you." Shhh. Be quiet and get still, He is talking: "Beloved, Loved One, Love of My life, Dearest, Darling, Sweetheart, My Sweet Angel, take the step. I've got you." G Kenya S.

In 2 Timothy 1:7 it says "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

I have learned to not only trust the Father for my finale, but I've discovered He wants us to have confidence in His way of doing things even when we don't understand, and when we look like we are defeated.
