Face Your Issue

11/21/2019

I don’t like using the word ‘fear’ so let’s substitute that word with ‘issue’. I used to have an ‘issue’ with heights. Being up high and looking down brought out feelings and emotions in me that would sometimes cause me to freeze in my tracks. But even though I had this issue, I was always able to move forward in any task that was laid out in front of me.
One great example was what I did in the military. I was a crew chief on a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter. This involved me not only performing maintenance, but also flying aboard the aircraft during missions.

When I did this, I would secure myself with a harness and hang out of the aircraft while in flight. I also went to Air Assault School where I learned to repel out of the helicopter over ninety feet in the air; jumping out feet and sometimes ‘head’ first. Now does that sound like someone who has issues with heights?  Believe it or not I did.

To this day I feel a little queasy going up in high places but I have control of my issue.  How?

God has given me the tools I need within myself to see my tasks through, no matter what my situations may be.

In Isaiah 54 God is allowing Israel to know He loves them and, “…will not become angry or rebuke…” (Isaiah 54:9), them again. He is allowing them to know in the above text that He has angels at work in creating the weapons needed for His will to be done. Some of those tools were created within all of us who believe for that very purpose.

It doesn’t matter what your issue may be in any given situation, God has given you the tools to overcome it. The enemy will gladly use ‘fear’ to stop you on your journey in Jesus name. Remember, this issue comes from the enemy’s influence, (as he does not have any power), and we have the strength, through the power of God in the Holy Spirit, to overcome this influence of fear.

Like my issue with heights, stand in defiance of your issue!

Show the enemy that what God has given you is stronger than what the enemy has given you from the world! (1 John 4:4) Use that weapon God has created in you.

You will find that it is “…suitable for its task…”
May God continue to bless and keep you on your journey in Jesus name.

Peace & Blessings,
-Billy
