I Will Persist Without Exception ~ The Persistent Decision

So what's the difference in people? When faced with struggles, why is it that one person quits and another keeps going?

This week at The Healthy Weigh we received our last of the 7 DECISIONS from the archangel, Gabriel in a warehouse of all places!! In the warehouse, Gabriel asks David Ponder, "Does faith guide your everyday actions and emotions? Or does fear guide what you do?"

Andy Andrews, author of The Travelers Gift goes on to explain...

One or the other drives us, and both emotions are an expectation for an event that hasn't come to pass, or a belief in something that can't be seen or touched.  To have faith is to believe in the hopeful potential of what one has not seen, and the reward of faith is to have the potential manifest.
The emotional energy of faith is uplifting. Fear, in contrast, is also to believe in the dark potential of what one has not seen, and only the reward of fear...is more fear. The emotional energy of fear is life draining. Fear can be used as a catalyst for action or, by default, it impressions a person to a life of mediocrity.

A man of faith reaps perpetual reward, and a man of fear lives on the edge of insanity. Fear is a vapor, a myth, and if you think that fear is some kind of warning from above to keep you out of trouble, you can forget that.  There is no instance in the Bible that says fear is from God.  Fear disrupts you and keeps you from your goals, dreams and destiny. Fear and worry are interest paid in advance on something the many never come to pass.

It's interesting to notice that often it is the smartest people who are most susceptible to fear in the first place. Fear is imagination run amok. What you fear doesn't even exist, it is the miuse of the creative imagination God has placed in you. And in the lives of these creative, intelligent people, somehow fear jumps into the mix and shuts down any possibility of moving toward their goals and dreams. It stops everything. The word worry is derived from an Anglo-Saxon term, meaning "to strangle or "to choke off." Worry and fear choke off any creative flow or intelligent movement that people might have otherwise had.

Ignore fear. Cast it out of your life. There is no reward for fear. The reward is in faith and in seeing what you have believed come to pass.

"I will persist without exception. I am a person of great faith."

Always encouraging you,
