NO FEAR

Proverbs 29:25 says, “The fear of man bringeth a snare [trap], but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.” In Job 3:25 Job said, “For the thing that I greatly feared is come upon me. And that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”

When we have fear, that fear gives Satan his opportunity. It leaves us vulnerable to him because we are not standing in faith, trusting the Lord in all things. Fear and faith are opposites; you cannot have both at the same time.

What fears do you have? Perhaps a lack of money to meet your present or future needs? Maybe fear of declining health? What about fear of abandonment? How about fear of burning in hell or the fear of losing your home or your family member?

Satan is the author of all fear. “Fear of the Lord” is a reverence to God, and not “fear” in the traditional sense, as in being afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

If you have any fear or are afraid of anything that might happen, you must understand now that this fear is from an evil spirit that has come to torment you. Rebuke that fear in the name of Jesus and plead the blood of Jesus against it. Then, open your mouth and give God praise and thanksgiving to Jesus and thank Him for His shed blood which overcomes and conquers all fear.

Praise conquers fear.
