Yet

"The only way to overcome fear is by testifying. Fear is darkness; it comes because you don’t understand the light you have in you. You can tell the adversary to depart, and he MUST depart. Ask the Lord to have that darkness leave. Like the brother of Jared when he was building the boats, you must say, “Father, I do have some fears.” But then you must tell Him your plan – what it is that you will do. You want to be touched by His light. Tell Him that you’re going to be obedient, that you will pray to Him. You may have some dark moments in this prayer because He wants you to feel deeply. But your testimony, when you give it, is light, and the fear is dispelled, and people will feel it. That’s the power that you have been endowed with."
