Five Game Changers for the BelieverSample

Game Changer #4: Let Your Passions Outweigh Your Fears.

Fear is an ever-present reality.

We lock our doors.

We don’t speak up.

We keep doing all the same old things we’re used to.

Because we’re afraid.

Fear cripples us. It tells us that we should stay where we’re at and remain comfortable, even when we know that we aren’t happy. We’re so afraid of the unknown that we will accept the known, even if it’s detrimental to our well-being. We put our passions and our dreams aside because the fear of failing, of losing, or of our lives getting worse is too heavy a burden to bear. Fear will keep you in terrible situations, allowing your mind to convince you that making a change isn’t worth the risk.

Instead, we need to focus less on our fears and more on our faith.

Faith first challenges and then transforms our passions. Then, it inflates our passions until they far outweigh our fears. In time, a miniscule amount of faith grows into world changing actions. The life of faith allows us to take big risks, knowing that our passions are more real than our fears. We can risk everything over to the creator of everything. He’s bigger than the potential risks.

The most important quality of the game changer is “stepping out” for God. All of the examples we’ve seen, and each person called by God in the Bible have stepped out from where they are to be a game-changer. If you’re not going to step out of your comfort zone and run for God, you aren’t going to make it.

Step out of your comfort zone.

Step out in the midst of fear.

And run towards God, because the plans that He has for you are worth the fear of uncertainty.
