Afraid to FLY... Ezella Robinson

This book describes the impact of fear on my life from the age of eleven until recently. I am aware of what the bible says about fear and the lives of Christians..."God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." Those are wonderful, truthful words but let us be honest, fear has its way of entering our hearts and minds and wreaking havoc on us, and we may not be aware of when or how it happened. As I stated earlier I was eleven years old when I had my encounter with this hindering spirit. It happened in "CHURCH" of all places. A Missionary was visiting with us at Wilson Chapter Christ of God in Christ where my Grandfather Bufford L. McTizic was Pastoring. At the end of Service, he allowed her to have a few words at which point she began to minister to many. In the midst of her speaking into the lives of others she called me up and proceeded to give me a message from the Lord. The following are her exact words: "The Lord told me to tell you that you are going to do something to be well known for before you died." The thing that I remember most about her prophecy was the word "DIE." It was at this point in my life that I decided that I would not, could not, and should not do anything that would cause me to become accomplished or successful in any way. For years, I bought into the trick of the enemy and feared success...because I thought that I would die if I did anything of any significance. But after many years of discontentment I woke up one day and declared that I shall not die but live and proclaim the works of the LORD!!! I began to take my place as an Author, Song Writer, Speaker and Gospel Music Artist. We can live the promise if we put our trust in HIM and doubt not we can overcome any setback that might come our way.
