Several years ago there was a squirrel that lived in the tree on my front lawn. This squirrel had a torn tail because the other squirrels used to fight with it all the time. I started putting nuts and crackers out for him and after a few weeks he trusted me so much that every time I opened the door to go out, this squirrel would run up to me expecting food. I never disappointed him. After awhile he even ate out of my hand. One day I went out the door and my dog was in the house behind the glass storm door. The squirrel started running up the porch to meet me but then when it seen my dog it instantly froze in fear and then ran away. The squirrel didn't realize that there was a glass door between the dog and him and the dog couldn't get near to attack him.
The Lord has magnificent gifts that He would love to give each one of you but many of you are afraid to step out to receive them because you fear what might be lurking behind this door that you are unable to see. Don’t give place to fear because there is no fear when you have Gods agenda and you align your thoughts with His will. Don’t be afraid to trust Jesus because you are in Covenant with Him and you dwell in the secret place therefore you are free approach Him in faith with confidence. Pay no attention to the enemies scare tactics because they are only illusions. God wants to bring you to a new level and into a new position in your walk with Him.
Isaiah 41:10
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Don't be driven back to your old ways of your past because of fear of failure or fear of man. You were not called to a mediocrity but you were called to be a warrior in the kingdom of God.
Elijah ran in fear because Jezebel threatened to kill him just as she killed the other prophets. He was looking at things in the natural and not what God told him to do. He ran away and went to sleep under a broom tree and actually prayed for God to take his life.
1 Kings 19:4
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!"
God then sent an angel to Elijah that fed him bread and water that was able to supernaturally sustain him for forty days. When God calls you to do something He will make a way. What happened in your past will not hinder or debilitate the plans that God has for your future. Don't look back. Just as a tightrope walker has to always look straight ahead to where they are going. If the the tightrope walker looks down or look back they will fall. You also need to stay focused on where you are going.
Proverbs 4: 25 - 27
Let your eyes look straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established. Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.
What is the vision that the Lord put on your heart? Someone once said - Vision without action is daydream; action without vision is nightmare. Pursue with boldness and without fear whatever it is that you were called to do.

Yes the Revelation goes to the Bullseye (The Heart) The Rod of Correction goes to the backside. 
But when they are from God - Its All Good!

Since I never learned to use the quote button, and I did not want to quote the whole post, I did it this way... Heads up on the quote feature anyone?
