Fear Fighters book

Chapter 7, Fighting the Fear of Failure

The fear of failure is so paralyzing that it keeps many people from even reaching for their dreams—they simply cannot face the risk of trying and failing. What is your dream? Are you willing to risk failure to walk in destiny? You have to become a fear fighter if you expect to walk in the success God has for you. Scary moments can be great opportunities but fear fighters take advantage of opportunities. Many times the problem of inaction can be found in your definition of failure. How do YOU define failure? There has been many a famous person who failed many, many times on their way to greatness and breakthrough. Among those would be Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Roger Bannister, and Sir Isaac Newton. Failure is not final. It says in Proverbs 24:16 that “a man falls seven times and will rise again. Being a fear fighter requires courage:

  4. Courage for the enemy’s sake
