Fear is a spirit and does not come from God. He gives us power, love and a sound mind. The spirit of fear is a scare tactic of the enemy, to stop us from moving forward in our Christian walk. He does not want us to overcome, or triumph in Christ he wants to keep us down. So, accept, that fear comes from him and let God give you the victory. Fear will hold you back from reaching the destiny God has planned. Jesus said many times in His word, do not fear, because He knows where it comes from and we can overcome it if we take our stand. It is important to dwell on His word and let it saturate our heart. Satan is called the adversary. He opposes us in our walk with God. He uses many tricks and devices. Another tactic is to send a spirit of heaviness upon us. But God says put on the garment of praise, for the spirit of heaviness. {Is.61:3, 2 Tim.1:7}
Praise pushes him back, hinders his work and gives you the victory. Jesus has given us authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing can harm us. {Luke 10:19} we need to use that authority over him with God’s word. Submit to God. Resist him and he will flee. {James 4:7} Don’t give in to his tricks.
Put on the whole armor of God so you may be able to stand against the wiles (methods – cunning, crafts) of the devil. {Eph.6:11}
No weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue spoken against you in judgement, you can condemn for that is the authority you have been given by God. It is part of your inheritance. {Is.54:17}
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Lord will set up a standard against him. {Is.59:19b} God protects us from the enemy when we put our trust in Him. Pray in the spirit, take authority in the spiritual realm and we will triumph, as we put him to flight and chase him away by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the living God within us. Our soul has escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowler, the snare is broken, and we have escaped our help is in the name of the Lord. {Psalms124:7}
~The enemy is behind you, beneath you and can’t come near you, when the power of the Almighty is flowing through you~
