Topic: Dealing With Spirit Of Fear [Thursday April 12, 2018]
Scripture: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Thought For The Day: What you listen to determines what you fear or believe.
It has been established that fear invites disaster, arrests progress and paralyses actions. The fear of failure, for instance, makes people not to take actions; the fear of the future makes people die in the present and makes them move as shadows of themselves. This shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Having dealt with the dangers of fear, how then can you deal with the spirit of fear?
i) Curse the spirit of fear
Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that fear is a spirit(Romans 8:15, 2 Timothy). This spirit of fear creeps into people’s lives to paralyze their destinies. This is why people suffer panic attacks and their hearts beat uncontrollably. So, deal with fear decisively by cursing it.
ii) Starve your fear and feed your faith with faith-building passages and messages
What you listen to determines what you fear or believe. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17); this means, that fear goeth by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
iii) Declare the right things continuously
The spirit of faith is communicated by your declarations. Stand before your mirror and in the public and declare; let the devil know that you know who you are and that your destiny is not at his mercy (2 Corinthians 4:13).
Beloved, you must make up your mind that fear will not cripple your destiny; deal with the spirit of fear today.
Remember this: What you listen to determines what you fear or believe.
Assignments:
1. Curse every spirit of fear in your life.
2. Starve your fear and feed your faith by God’s Word.
3. Embark on positive declarations continuously.
Prayer: O Lord, I curse every spirit of fear in my life. I ask for the grace to feed my faith and starve my fear always through Your Word, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
