The best thing I can do when I get hit with fear or some intimidating spirit is to step back and ask God what’s really going on right now. I let the initial impact of fear go by and then react in Jesus. I let His peace rule in the situation.
God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). That means fear can come from only one other source – Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44). Lies create fear.
With all of the changes taking place these days, it’s easy to be consumed by all the lies flying around. The enemy is so active with his poisonous lies. This is why it is imperative that we’re in God’s Word, The Truth, as much as we can be these days. This is why I say the Word out loud as often as I can. Doing so expels fear along with the principalities and powers of darkness we wrestle with in the spirit realm.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John 1:4
Thanking and praising God in all things,
Mark
