For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
Fear is something that anyone can face at some point. It can come in many forms—fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of what others think, or even fear of things we can’t control. But as believers, we are reminded in scriptures again and again that fear is not from God.
Talking about these things is easy when everything is going well. However, there are storms in life for which we must prepare. None of these storms come to decrease us; they are God’s method of promotion. He says, “Count it all joy when you face trials and temptations of many kinds” (James 1:2). Difficult situations are real, and sometimes, they can be overwhelming. But God is training you today so that you will know what to do in times like that.
After you cast out fear, you must know that fear must be replaced with faith—faith that is born of God’s Word. Unless you replace fear with faith, you may never come out victoriously.
What does Scripture say regarding your situation? Do you realize that you are blessed in Christ Jesus with all spiritual blessings? Is it in your consciousness that the greater One lives in you? Do you know that you have the spirit of authority to take control over your situation? He has given you power in your mouth. You can prophesy your way into a great miracle.
The Bible says, ‘Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world’ (1 John 4:4). Focus on God’s power rather than the power of darkness. Believe in those things which you may not see today but which are promised in the scriptures. They are more certain than your uncertain circumstances, which are but for a moment.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for blessing me with every spiritual blessing, and I need not fear anything. Your Spirit helps me in every situation. I thank You for Your Word, for Your Word gives me faith, and I stand on Your Word. Your Word is real and true. Thank You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
