As we learned before, we must replace fear with faith. I want to bring to your attention today that God has given us the spiritual gift of praying in tongues. After we have declared words of faith from God’s Word, we can strengthen this faith and make it bold by praying in tongues. When we pray in tongues, the inner man prays through the Holy Spirit’s words, which stir up the power of God within us. Not only that, but it also edifies our spirit, and our faith is solidified.

Faith never fails, which means there must be a result, an outcome, and a change in the situation. After casting out fear and standing confidently on the Word of God, it is equally important that we actively engage in bringing about change in this physical realm. Any situation can be turned around in our favor.

When you pray in tongues, you pray through the wisdom of God. There are angels, referred to as ministering spirits, who recognize our instructions and begin to take action to produce a complete solution. Praying in tongues is not something you do for a moment; it is something you do until you know, with assurance, that the desired outcome is achieved. There is a note of victory you should wait for. You should pray until you feel the satisfaction that the matter has been resolved.

Don’t stop early; it is also risky to do nothing about the matter. Your mind may try to play games with you, suggesting that you stop praying and start trying to fix things through worldly ways. Don’t fall for the tricks of the carnal mind. A quality time spent praying in the Holy Ghost is the key to a supernatural testimony.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that You love me and that You are training me in righteousness. I am Your child, and Your ability is at work in me. As I spend time praying through the Holy Spirit, I know that every situation will bow down in the name of Jesus. I thank You for the victory You have given me in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

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.

The devil is powerless. Jesus made a public display of his defeat. And finally, after defeating the devil, Jesus overcame death. This is the same victory God has given to His children. If you are a believer, you have nothing to fear. Today, your identity is found in the identity of our Lord Jesus Christ. As you live by the name of Jesus Christ, you have been given the authority that is in His name. This is the absolute truth.

One of the ways the devil tries to trick God’s people is by implanting a lie in their hearts. Even though the devil is powerless, he still tries to instill fear in you. By planting fear, he seeks to gain access to your spiritual strength and subdue you. In our opening scriptures, God tells us that we should not fear. The only thing we are called to do with the devil is resist him. The Bible says, ‘Resist the devil, and he will flee from you’ (James 4:7). The devil is not the problem—immaturity is. It is due to a lack of knowledge that God’s children are destroyed (ref. Hosea 4:6). Today, God is telling and training you not to fear, regardless of the situation or circumstances. There may be many different situations and circumstances that surround you and try to bring fear, but the problem is not the circumstances. The Greater One lives in you (ref. 1 John 4:4). The issue lies in the false fear the devil is trying to plant within you.

The very first step you should take when you find yourself in such a situation is to announce loudly with your mouth: ‘I refuse to fear.’ Speak it out boldly and proclaim it in the name of Jesus, declaring that there is no fear. Command fear to leave you. After this, the next thing you should do is start speaking the Word of God concerning your situation. Overcoming fear is a great victory. Every other miracle follows after you defeat fear. We’ll learn more about it in the coming days. Keep growing in the Lord.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You that there is nothing I need to fear about. All things are Yours, and You have everything I need. Thank You for giving me victory over Satan. Thank You for loving me and for giving me authority in the name of Jesus. I live today with courage and faith. In Jesus’ name, Amen
