2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Fear is a terrible thing. It can wreak havoc with our lives if it is left unchecked and allowed to dominate.
Fear clashes with our faith and attempts to derail it, rendering us motionless and unable to function.
Fear paralyzes us. Fear is the opposite of faith.
Faith gives us freedom to pursue God’s call on our lives and complete the tasks He sets before us to complete.
Faith overcomes fear. Faith empowers us.
True faith will push us closer to God. Fear will push us away.
So how do we overcome fear and grow our faith?
First, we have to recognize fear. And then we have to kick it out of our lives, by the authority of the name of Jesus Christ!
If you struggle with fear, here’s how you can give fear the boot and send it packing. Rebuke it in the name of Jesus. It’s not complicated. It doesn’t require you to have anyone else pray for you or lay hands on you. Just say something like this, out loud:
Fear, I rebuke you and command you to go, in the name of Jesus! Release me. I forbid you from operating against me again.
It really is that simple. If we are believers, we have authority in Jesus’ name. Spirits of fear (and other evil spirits) have no choice but to leave when we command them to do so in the name of Jesus.
So give fear the boot and let Jesus make you free from fear for the rest of your life.
Your life will be forever changed.
