I Sam 17:34 (NLT)But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock,
35 I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth. If the animal turns on me, I catch it by the jaw and club it to death.
36 I have done this to both lions and bears, and I’ll do it to this pagan Philistine, too, for he has defied the armies of the living God!
37 The LORD who rescued me from the claws of the lion and the bear will rescue me from this Philistine!”

Luke 5: 1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

Fear:
You may experience the fear of rejection, the fear of failure or the fear of making a fool of yourself.
You might be afraid of getting physically or emotionally hurt.
You might be afraid of losing all of your money. These are not unusual feelings, they are just unproductive & self-defeating.
We have not been given a spirit of fear but The Spirit of power.

Road Blocks:
All the external circumstances well beyond thoughts or feelings.
A roadblock might be that you don’t have all the resources you need to move forward.
A Roadblock might be that your state or local government has rules or laws that prohibit or control what you want to do.
They are simply real world circumstances that need to be pulled down and overcome.
If you are going to become the person God wants you to be you’re going to have to stretch.
