Understanding Fear Spiritually
Day 2 – Tuesday, August 20, 2025
Theme: Understanding Fear Spiritually
Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)
  “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

Sis, let’s go deeper. Yesterday we pulled the mask off fear, but today we expose it for what it truly is: a spirit assignment straight from hell. Fear is not just an emotion. It’s not just butterflies in your stomach or a lump in your throat. Fear is spiritual warfare. It’s a demonic tool sent to choke out your faith, mute your voice, and paralyze your destiny.

Understand this: if God says He did not give us a spirit of fear, then fear is illegal. It has no authority over your life unless you hand it the keys. Every time you bow to fear, you are agreeing with an enemy who already knows he’s defeated.

Fear thrives on lies. It whispers: “You can’t.” “You’ll never.” “You’re too broken.” But God declares: “You can.” “You will.” “I have chosen you.” Which voice will you believe?
Sis, fear doesn’t just keep you nervous—it keeps you bound. It is spiritual chains wrapping around your purpose, your relationships, your recovery, your future. That’s why you can’t treat fear like a guest. You can’t cuddle it, excuse it, or manage it. You must cast it out. Because where fear lives, faith suffocates.

But here’s the truth: the spirit of fear is no match for the Spirit of God. Inside of you is a Spirit that carries:
  • Power — the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
  • Love — perfect love that drives out fear and covers every wound.
  • Sound Mind — a mind anchored in truth, unshaken by the enemy’s lies.
When fear rises, you don’t run—you stand. You declare out loud, “God has not given me this spirit. I reject it, and I walk in His power, His love, and His peace.”

Sis, today is the day you stop letting fear dictate your story. Fear may scream, but faith speaks louder. Fear may knock, but you don’t have to open the door. You are not a slave to fear—you are a daughter of the Most High God.

Declaration

Fear is not my portion. I renounce its grip and every lie it has planted in my heart. I walk in the Spirit of power, love

My Journey To Resilience And Redemption

Hey Resilient Woman, 

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am a woman who has experienced the depths of pain, addiction, and trauma—but also the transformative power of God’s grace and healing. My life is a testimony of how surrendering to God can bring renewal and restoration, no matter how broken the pieces may seem.
 
For years, I struggled with addiction, loss, and the scars of past trauma, but through faith and determination, I found freedom and purpose. Today, I dedicate my life to helping other women discover that same freedom. Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I strive to create resources that inspire hope, build resilience, and guide women on their journey to recovery—just as I’ve been guided on mine.
 
I believe healing is possible for every woman, no matter her story. My mission is to provide faith-based tools and encouragement to help women see their worth, embrace God’s promises, and walk boldly into the life He has planned for them. I am living proof that God can take our brokenness and turn it into something beautiful, and it is my heart’s calling to walk alongside others as they step into their own transformation.
