Delivering Difficult Words: Overcoming Fear to Advance God's Kingdom

Delivering Difficult Words: Overcoming Fear to Advance God’s Kingdom

Stepping out in faith to share hard words from God is not easy, but overcoming fear enables us to bring life-changing revelations to those who need them most. This post explores why we must boldly speak God’s truth despite discomfort, as obedience pleases the Lord and failure to do so robs others from receiving His keys to freedom.

Opening Thoughts

In the beginning, it is as if God gives us those “easy” words of knowledge to deliver. But as we grow in the gift, there come the words we don’t really want to deliver - those difficult words too scary to tell people who could react badly. 

Don’t let fear stop you. Here are a couple good reasons to overcome the fear and share the word anyway:

Two Key Reasons to Push Past the Fear

 1. Robbing Someone of a Kingdom Key 

You are robbing the person of a Kingdom Key that could significantly change their life. Words of knowledge can provide divine revelation that sets people on a transformed path. Withholding them could deprive someone of a breakthrough they’ve been waiting for.  

2. Disobeying God

When God gives a word for someone, failing to deliver it means disobedience. As Christ followers, we are called to act as messengers of God’s words even when it’s uncomfortable or intimidating. But taking that leap of faith pleases God.

My Own Experience 

I used to get so many words of knowledge there was no way I could deliver them all. But now they are more rare, so I treasure those moments. Yet sometimes I still give in to fear and don’t share what I should. I inevitably feel remorse afterwards because of the two reasons above.

Just the other day, I met a man I sensed needed a challenging but important word. He was quite imposing physically and I said nothing out of anxiety. This has bothered me greatly ever since, as I wish I could go back and handle it differently. 

But I robbed that man of a Kingdom Key that could have given him a course correction. I was also disobedient in that moment to God. This experience motivates me to push past fear going forward.

Call to Action

I urge all believers to pray for opportunities to advance God's Kingdom through words of knowledge - then have the boldness to speak them in love. Let's not allow intimidation or anxiety to make us miss divine appointments to change lives. That takes faith and courage, but God rewards and strengthens those who obey His call.

Thomas Dabney Tannehill - Testimony for Jesus

The Power of Testimony: One Man's Journey from the Occult to Salvation in Jesus Christ

Testimonies of faith have the power to inspire, convict, and spur spiritual growth. In this accompanying blog post for the Coffee with Conrad podcast episode featuring Thomas Dabney Tannehill's powerful testimony, we'll explore key themes surrounding his journey from occult practices and drug addiction to experiencing new life in Christ.

Here is the original Facebook Live 

Dabbling in the Occult Opens Doors to Darkness

Like many young people, Thomas was exposed to occult practices like using Ouija boards and tarot cards from a young age. Little did he know the dangers of opening doorways to the demonic realm. The occult should be avoided by believers, as it gives the enemy a foothold (Eph. 4:27). Thomas also experienced poltergeist activity in his home growing up. 

Drug Use Leads Down Destructive Paths

Down the road, Thomas' involvement in Eastern religious practices, psychedelic drugs, and rock music sent his life into a tailspin. He had demonic encounters telling him to worship Satan while high on LSD. Drug use leads to addiction, poor choices, and dangerous consequences. Seeking enlightenment or spirituality through substance abuse can open people up to darker forces.

Crying Out for Help in Your Darkest Hour

After a terrifying drug trip where Thomas saw his body convulsing and hordes of demons, he cried out to God for mercy. Though far from God, Thomas retained a flicker of faith from his religious upbringing. God hears our prayers even at our worst moments. When all seems lost, He provides hope.

Christian Fellowship Helps Restore the Lost

Just when he thought he was alone, Thomas encountered his old friend Mickey sharing the gospel. This divine appointment led to Mickey mentoring Thomas in his newfound faith, discipling him in God's Word, and providing a community of belief. Surrounding ourselves with strong believers helps us grow. 

The Holy Spirit Illuminates Scripture

As Thomas read the Bible, its truths came alive by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Mere intellectual study is not enough. When we invite the Spirit to teach us, the Word transforms us. The Bible is the Spirit's sword (Eph. 6:17) to cut through lies and point us to godly living.

True Repentance Leads to Lasting Change

After failed attempts to clean up his own life, Thomas fully surrendered his heart and will to Christ. This repentance led to supernatural freedom as he turned from darkness and embraced the light. When we submit ourselves to God, He breaks sin's power. Our old self dies, and we become new creations in Him (2 Cor. 5:17).

The Journey May Be Slow But Progress Comes  

Though saved, Thomas still stumbled at times on his spiritual walk. Sanctification is a process. The righteousness of Christ is gifted to believers, but living it out takes time. Thomas discovered the joys of forgiveness and getting back on the right path when he faltered. God's grace sustains us.

Testimonies Build Faith and Give Hope

By generously sharing his story, Thomas inspires us to cling to Jesus above all else and reach out into the darkness with Christ's love. Our testimonies matter―they build faith, give hope, and point others to the One who can set them free.
