Tag: How to overcome a spirit of fear

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-7-22

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.

Earlier this morning I was having a great conversation with someone about the state of the current world.

We discussed the fact that we are headed into end times types of events, and that evil has markedly increased in recent years.

As part of that conversation, we got on the topic of fear.

Fear has been used to do some terrible things to mass numbers of people over the centuries. And the last couple of years is no exception.

Fear has driven many people to make decisions that they would not normally make.

It has caused people to separate themselves from society. It has caused people to isolate themselves from friends and family.

And it has caused some to submit themselves to things that they would never have submitted to under normal circumstances.

We want to remind everyone today that fear is not of God.

Fear is a tool used by the enemy and his cohorts to back people into a corner, making them feel like they have no choice but to obey those who are wielding that fear as a mighty weapon.

Never make choices based on fear. It will almost always come back to haunt us. We will regret those choices terribly most times.

So, if you’re faced with making a choice of some kind, and fear is what’s driving you to make that choice, step back and take a look at what’s happening.

Look for God in it. Does it feel like what you’re doing is led by God? Are your choices giving you a feeling of peace?

Or does it feel chaotic and crazy, like you’d never do this if you weren’t scared?

Remember that God is not the author of confusion. And let that guide your decisions and choices.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV) 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace…

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-12-15

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.

Fear can cause people to do things that they might otherwise never imagine themselves doing.

Fear can destroy relationships. Fear can destroy nations. And fear can destroy lives.

Fear can cause people to take the life of another. And it can cause people to take their own life.

Fear can cause us to run and hide. It can cause us to turn to drugs or alcohol. And it can cause us to run from God.

But let me share something with you about fear.

Fear is not of God, Fear is of the enemy, and you can overcome it, with God’s help.

God did not give us a spirit of fear. Think about it. God gave us His spirit. That is the only spirit He gives us. Everything we need comes from Him, by way of His spirit.

Any spirit other than the Holy Spirit is not of Him, but from the devil and his demons; evil spirits.

Is a spirit of fear tormenting you? Rebuke it, in the name of Jesus.

God’s word says that His people perish for a lack of knowledge or understanding.

Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…

Not having knowledge or an understanding about fear can cause people to struggle, and even, ultimately, to perish.

So today, take this knowledge and use it to turn fear into faith.

Trust that God will see you through your situation. Trust that God has the answer you need and He will supply you with that answer.

Trust that God is bigger than any obstacle you’re facing, and that with His strength and with faith in Him, you can overcome those obstacles and be victorious in your life.

It’s time to stop shrinking back and letting fear drive us. It’s time, instead, to put God in the driver’s seat and let Him lead, and for us to follow His leading.

You can do this, with God’s help. Let faith rise up inside of you and push fear out of your life once and for all.
