This is the podcast of Jonathan David and Melissa Helser.

Today's episode features a message that Jonathan shared at Bethel's Heaven Come Conference in 2017. We hope you enjoy.

Hey guys!

Hey guys. It's always fun it and you know fear points its sword at the exact place you're

created for greatness. Fear points at sword at the exact place your destiny lies.

I remember being a kid and my biggest fear was speaking in public.

It's so fun what I'm doing right now.

Goliath pointed his sword at David.

And then David took the sword, the giant pointed at him and took off the giant's head.

Don't you think Goliath regretted the day he pointed the sword at the shepherd boy? Me and Melissa wrote the song were no longer slaves to fear because we needed to sing that song before you guys sang it.

We sang it for ourselves over a course of three years. We were on a school called the 18-inch journey in North Carolina and we've had the privilege to be a part of the Bethel

music family for the last four years and it's been incredible it's been an

absolute gift but we still run this beautiful school called the 18 inch journey and the 18 inch journey is the distance from your head to your heart.

It's 18 inches from here to here and it's a school for the heart.

It's a school for sons and daughters to come and discover their identity.

And the first week of the 18 inch journey is the Father Week.

And we spend the whole week having a head on collision with Papa's love.

And about four years ago in the school, we had just got done sharing about the father and the prodigal son's story and we're all getting wrecked by the father's love and we began to just declare who God says we are.

And all the students were standing up on their chairs saying I am the

father's beloved I am his chosen one I am his delight and I just began to sing I'm no longer a slave to fear, I'm a child of God.

And all the schools started singing it.

And we sang it for like 20 minutes, and then a year went by by didn't sing it again.
