Zipping Fear-With Podcast #27

So I discovered zipping fear on a zip line.... What do I mean? Well, literally I joined a gang of Jesus loving sisters who decided to celebrate a friend's birthday by going to the mountains where a course of zip lines were set up for recreation. (Definition: consists of a pulley suspended on a cable... It is designed to enable a user to propell by gravity to travel from one end of a location by a long cable by holding on to another by a  the freely moving pulley.) This is what I discovered. I was racked with fear in the beginning as we put on our gear while the instructor gave instructions of how this "fun" happens. The saving grace was being around my friends who faced these pre-zipping fears with lots of nervous laughter.  To start, we had to cross this shaky bridge to get to the platform of this first line to zip. Trust. We had to trust our equipment, instructors, and the line itself to hold us and work to keep from falling down to the ground. There is something about running and jumping off that platform and then zipping down that wire that brought pure joy to my soul. We spent the next hour cheering each other on as we tackled each zip line....or like me, tackled the instructor who had to catch me as I forgot to "break". One friend wrote later: "It was quite the life-changing, girl-bonding, knee-shaking good time! Even though it was scary as heck, I wouldn't have missed out on an adventure with these chicks..." What am I trying to say? Will Smith said it like this: "God places the best things in life on the other side of terror." Sometimes our mind creates a greater fear than the reality of what we are facing.  I was the most nervous while getting my helmet and awkward gear strapped on. As I did this my thoughts raced with terror of the what if's...What if this breaks...what if I fall...etc. , Those fears melted away as I trusted the equipment in mid-air to support me, to my thrill seeking satisfaction.  What are you fearing? May I remind you... You are designed and meant to fly. No ropes. You are meant to soar in the designs and frequencies of heaven in your spirit identity. Will you believe in the support system of the Holy Spirit? The equipment of faith? The helmet of your salvation? The belt of truth around your waste?  I pray this word from the Vinedresser will soothe those jagged edges of your nerves that have wreaked havoc in your life with fear.

My love will capture you and you will never be the same. Watch how I can bring back what the enemy has stolen. Join the parade of My lovers rejoicing and dancing in the streets of freedom.
