Take Hold Of Courage
The other night I was
laying down for bed and I began to hear the words “take hold”. I
thought on it and laid back down, but there was a nudging in my
spirit that gave me a hunger to know more.

What does courage mean?

heart.] Bravery; intrepidity; that quality of mind which enables men
to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness, or without fear
or depression of spirits; valor; boldness; resolution.
Courage is a mind factor!
Courage is a choice.
Philippians 4:8 (NIV)
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about
such things.
THINK!!
We
have the ability to choose the thoughts in which we possess
Scripture
also states
You mean whatever we think
about we become?
We have a choice to what
we think and believe?
Does this mean it is a
choice and a mindset to walk in courage?
Does this mean that anyone
can be courageous?
The more I started to
realize courage is not something we gain, but it is a mindset we
choose.
Just as we choose to walk
in fear. We can choose to walk in courage.

a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son,
be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”
Be of good cheer!
When I think of the way
Jesus was speaking these words, I believe He is telling them to
choose to be joyful.

mind. It is a choice on how we choose to live.
