A Spirit of FEAR Can Control Us:

​

(Matt 10:28) ""Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

 

Fear weakens our immune system. It creates stress, and there is a cause and effect, both emotionally and physically.

Fear is a natural, powerful, and primitive emotion for physical survival.

Fear alters us to the presence of danger or the threat of harm.

Fear is the natural response to the challenges that everyone is experiencing right now.

Fear causes different emotions in each of us regarding the unknown.             

 

What does the Word of God say about fear?

 

1. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” – (Proverbs 9:10)

 

2. "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

 

3.“…For he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So, we can confidently say, ’The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’” (Hebrews 13:5b-6)

​

4.“For God gave us spirit, not of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

​

5.“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)

​

6.“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

​

7.“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” (John 14:27)

​

8.“The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1)

​

9.“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.” (Psalm 46:1-3)

 

10.“Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22)

​

11. “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” (Psalm 91:1-2)

 

We are to FEAR (with both reverent awe and trembling) the LORD, and not man.

​

(Matt 10:26) "Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known."

 

That is why it is so important to remember that God’s LOVE and MERCY can overcome any influx of Negative unwanted behavior.  AMEN!

 

PRAYER: Father Your Perfect LOVE casts out the spirit of Fear, and I realize that at times we are pushed under fear to help us to realize YOU are in Charge of both the Negative and the Positive. So, help us all, LORD, to stop for a brief moment and Give that Fear over to YOU! LORD, Show us all how to walk in the Godly Love that You have for us so that we can Trust in the Lord and walk in faith, and not by sight to do Your Will.

​

In Jesus name AMEN!

​

May God richly bless you,

Pastor Devnath
