Faith Over Fear

Jesus came to set us free from all fear. There are 365 times that we are told not to fear in the bible. This should remind us that our God does not want us to have a heart filled with fear. The only kind of fear that is healthy for us as believers is the “fear of God”. this is a healthy fear. This fear causes us to trust and believe God at every point in our lives, whether we are faced with something good or bad. The fear of God brings comfort to our hearts.

We will always be faced with something in our lives that may cause us fear or anxiousness. Not one of us is exempt from this as we face various challenges each and every day. Our comfort zone is challenged as God wants us to grow and increase in this life. What do we do when we are faced with fear? We immediately take charge over the thoughts of fear that are flooding our mind and never allow it to fill our hearts. We take authority over the thoughts of fear by refusing them the power to overtake our minds. If the thought of dying comes to your mind. You immediately put your mind on the word that says “with long life will He satisfy us. We will live and not die. Our God has come to give us a long, satisfying life”. This is only one example for you to ponder. It is the same with every other negative thought of fear. You have to cast down the thought and pick up a faith thought.

Do not allow fear to overtake you, overcome your fear with the faith that the Holy Spirit instills in your heart. No more fear. We flourish in faith.
