Did you know… that the term “Do not be afraid” is mentioned over 350 times in the Bible (almost once for every day of the year)?
(2 Timothy 1:7) For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of sound mind.
(John 10:10) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Satan comes to steal…..your love, power, and sound mind. Then replace it with a spirit of fear.
· Fear will make you do stupid things.
· 75% of the people in the hospital are there because of worry, tension, and fear.
· Fear will attract demon spirits like blood attracts sharks.
· Fear is the power source of the kingdom of Darkness.
Four Methods Satan Uses to infect you with fear.
1. Words
After Goliath shouted insults and threats to the Children of Israel… listen to what happened to them.
(1 Samuel 17:11) On hearing the Philistine’s words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.
2. Size of the Problem – it’s too big!!
When the children of Israel looked at Goliath they were intimidated and afraid. And I can understand why, he was almost 10 feet tall and with all his armor weighed over 900 pounds.
But always remember, the size of our problems is “no match” compared to the BIGNESS of our GOD!
3. Remind You of Past Failures!
Fear of failure will paralyze you.
(Isaiah 54:4) “Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
… Isaiah said God would deliver you from the shame of your youth.
We have all experienced failure! Let it be your friend not your enemy!
Learn from it and move forward in faith believing that God is able to deliver you!
4. Condemnation.
The enemy will condemn you for…not praying enough – not reading your Bible, not witnessing.
He is an accuser of the Brethren.
(Romans 8:1) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
Fear is the nature of the enemy!
Faith is the nature of your father!
Let’s be good sons & daughters and walk in FAITH not FEAR!
