Dear one, if you have decided to break free from fear, then this post is for you. You should know that it is going to be gradual and it won’t be very easy. Here are a few things you can do to break free;
- PRAY ABOUT IT
Matthew:21.22
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Pray about the things you fear and the fear that overwhelms you, and you will receive an answer. Always pray to God about it and ask him to take away the spirit of fear over your life. He is the God who answers prayers and he will definitely answer it. Replace the worry and anxiety with prayers. Anytime you feel afraid, pray!
- OPEN YOURSELF TO THE LOVE OF GOD.
1 John:4.16-18
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
Open your arms wide and accept the love of God, love him and walk in His love. It is in this that your fears are driven away. Perfect love has to do with the love that God gives and expects from us. The love that comes by obeying his word to extending this love to other people. Such love drives out fear. Loving good and hating wrong and actually doing what God wants us to do.
- BUILD YOUR FAITH.
Wherever there is fear, faith cannot thrive, therefore to break free from fear build your faith up everyday. This transformation comes by renewing your mind everyday with the word of God( Romans 12:2) so that the word of God becomes a seed of faith in you( Romans 10:17). So have faith by making a decision to believe in what God says in his word, trusting in it completely and walking in it daily.
- RELY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The holy spirit is our help and his presence displaces the fear in us because where the spirit of God is, there is liberty( 2 Corinthians 3:17). He will set you free from any bondage of the enemy if you will allow him. Rest in him and surrender all your fears to him he will set you free. Have daily fellowship with and always carry him along your daily routine. Do every thing, especially the things you fear.
- RESIST FEAR.
James:4.7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Fear is a spirit that causes you to be afraid but you have to make a decision to do the things you need to do even when you are afraid. Your constant approach to fear can help you to conquer fear. The fear might still be there but resist it everyday and it will flee. Learn to do things ‘afraid’, it helps you to face your fears and then you will be able to conquer it.
You will have to practice these things everyday in consistency to see results. The war is an everyday war until we are completely delivered.
May God grant us the grace to conquer the demonic fear that destroys and may He give us the faith we need to live.
