Fight The Fear

1 Timothy 6:12

Fear is not a friend of your destiny, neither is it a helper of your life.
2 Timothy 1:7
Faith aids your life and is a great supporter of your destiny.
Faith strengthens you while fear weakens you.
James 5:15

Faith empowers.
Fear reduces.

On earth, in this journey of life it is necessary to fight fear.
Fear will come.
Fear will try to stop you, limit you, and break you.
Fear can make you loose favor with God.
Matthew 25:24-29

We are in times when the world is fearful.
People are fearful of diseases, sickness, viruses and harmful bacteria.
In times like this it is important to remind ourselves that fear is not of God, neither is it God's will for our lives.
The purpose of fear is to keep you out of faith.
You can't be in faith and fear at the same time.

A purpose of fear is to produce or manifest the wrong outcomes in our life.
Fear works like faith.
Faith will surely produce what it is we are in faith for.
Faith leads to a tangible substance or reality.
Hebrews 11:1
In the same manner, fear will manifest that which is not the will of God.

Job used to have a fear for his children.
He eventually lost them.
Job 3:25
Satan must have seen or sensed this fear in Job's life.
That is why Satan knew what to touch to hurt Job when God permitted him to afflict Job but not take his life.

How do we fight fear?

1) By turning to the Lord
the natural man is fearful, the first manifestation of the lower nature in Adam & Eve after their fall was fear.
They were afraid and hid from God.
If the lower nature is fearful, the divine man is full of faith and confidence.
John 3:3

2) Renewing the mind
the more we renew the mind, the more Christ-like our soul becomes. A renewed mind develops God's perspective on issues which doesn't give room to fear.
Meditation on the Word of God is the key way we renew our minds.
Romans 12:2

3) Declare the Word against fear
this can be done through prayer or confessions.
Like Jesus did, attack life's fears, challenges, and temptation with God's Word.
Matthew 4:3-11

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
