Jesus Christ redeemed you from the curse of fear according Galatians
3:13. To overcome all the attacks of the spirit of fear you have been
given mighty divine weapons: prayer, thanksgiving to God for answered
prayer, the name of Jesus, your faith, God's Word and your own
faith-filled words.
Prayer: First of all, you need to give the problem of fear to God in
prayer. The Bible says, "Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in
every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus" (Philippians 4:6,7). When you pray to God the Father in Jesus'
name, believe according to 1 John 5:14,15 God heard your prayer and
granted your petition.
Thanksgiving: Whenever fear tries to attack you, begin to thank and
praise God you are free from fear based on your prayer of faith and
God's Holy Word. In fact, get in a habit of thanking God throughout
the day for your salvation. Your salvation includes being saved,
healed, protected, made whole, do well, delivered and preserved.
That's a lot to be thankful for because of what Jesus Christ did for
you on the Cross.
There is a spiritual reason for giving thanks to God. When you thank
God for answered prayer, you are releasing your faith for God's answer
to be made real in your life. This spiritual principle is found in
Hebrews 11:1 and I believe this is the greatest explanation of faith
in the Bible.
Begin thanking God you are free from fear. Remember according to
Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper."
That's something to meditate on and thank God for each day.
The Name of Jesus: Philippians 2:9-11 says, "Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,
and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father." Then, in Mark 16:17,18 it says you now have been given the
authority to use this mighty name of Jesus against evil, including the
spirit of fear that would try to torment you: "And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands
on the sick, and they shall recover."
Therefore, when the spirit of fear comes against you, command it to go
in the name of Jesus and it will have to flee because you have
released your faith in the power of the name of Jesus.
Your Faith: 1 John 5:4b says, "For whatsoever is born of God
overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith." Trust in God that your faith is working
through your prayers to God, your thanksgiving to God, your faith in
the name of Jesus, your faith, God's Word and your words.
God's Word: God's Word spoken in faith out of your mouth is powerful
and will overcome all evil, including the spirit of fear. Boldly
declare the covenant promises of God to defeat fear in every instance
of your life. "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper
than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).
Your Words: Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of
the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." And in
Mark 11:23 it states, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall
say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the
sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he
saith." God's Word concerning the tongue should encourage you to keep
a close watch over your mouth and only say what is in line with the
Word of God. Again I say, watch your words. Speak the answer, God's
Word and not the problem. You want your words to be constructive and
not destructive. Daily boldly declare what God has said in His
promises concerning you.
Don't know what God has said about you in His Holy Word concerning His
promises? Then you need to find out. How? Start daily reading,
studying and meditating the Word of God.
And of course, if you are not a Christian then you need to receive
God's free gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ for this above
plan of action to successfully work against the spirit of fear. If you
have not done so, I encourage you to make this wise salvation decision
now and receive your redemption from fear and receive all the covenant
rights of a child of God by inviting Jesus Christ into your heart.
Peace to you and may you continually enjoy thanking God for your
freedom from fear.
