In fact, one of the ways I determine His will for my life is like this: if discerning His will means making a decision between two options, and my only reason for being suspicious of one of the options is that I’m afraid of it, I know this is probably the choice He’s wanting me to make. If fear is the only reason I’m resistant to follow, I can usually assume the enemy is trying to keep me from doing what the Lord wants me to do. I’m learning that fear is a spirit given by the enemy to divert us away from God’s will.
