So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15 (NLT)
Knowing that Holy Spirit is in you and that He is guiding you is one of seven principles for healing and miracles that we’ve been discussing over the past few days. You see, you can trust Holy Spirit to nudge you in the right direction as you reach out to others.
You also need to understand that Holy Spirit wants to lead you into your best life. If you often wake up with a knot in your stomach because of fear, anxiety, worry or stress, you need to remember that Holy Spirit is in you and He’s guiding you. The future is not something you need to fear.
You cannot allow stress, anxiety and worry to take root in your life. These are fear-based and can make you sick. Disease at its very root is dis-ease; it means you’re not at ease. Instead, you can have the peace of God—a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
A healthy respect benefits you, but fear never does. Think about it. A healthy respect for fire will keep you safe. But a fear of fire will give you nightmares and keep you up at night. There is no place for fear in your life because Holy Spirit is in you.
No matter what tomorrow holds or what’s happening in your world today, Holy Spirit will never leave you. He will lead you around and through the storms of life. His plans for you are amazing. Even if you miss out on an opportunity, an even better one is waiting for you just around the corner!
