Many things attempt to come into our lives to cause fear. It may be sickness, disease, pain, the death of a loved one, the lack of finances to cover all the bills and needs of life and the list can go on and on.

What’s the purpose, the WHY of fear?
The purpose of tormenting fear is to steal, kill, and destroy you.

What is fear?
Fear is sneaky. It does not always dash out in front of you.

Sometimes, in an attempt to do as much harm as possible, it can slip in SLOWLY and undetected.
Fear is the dread of harmful things coming upon us and ultimately taking over our lives in some form or fashion.

How do we overcome fear?

Fear can be overcome. It has to be recognized and addressed. Many do not realize that the very words that they listen to and speak on a continuous basis are opening the door to fear.

Fear requires and can only exist through the attention it receives.

Change Your Focus

When we look to the One greater than fear, ourselves, and things, and remember He is always there, fear must go. This is not a quick fix or a one-time answer. Our focus must remain on the Greater One.

Bring your fears to God

There is none greater and more willing and able to help you overcome all that seeks to steal your peace.

Bring every fear, concern, dread, or worry to God and allow Him to fill you with His peace that goes far beyond understanding.

Speak to Fear

Fear is talking to you and telling you that you are nothing, that you are not going to make it, there’s no hope, and that you will never have enough. And on and on it goes.

You MUST open your mouth and speak to fear.

When you sense fear or dread attempting to attack/rise up in you, you must first IMMEDIATELY grab it by the throat and SPEAK BACK TO IT, “I will not accept fear. God loves me and takes care of me. His perfect love drives out fear. Go from me, fear!”

God is Love (I John 4:16, 18)

And secondly, the most important thing to do is thank God for His love and that He is driving out fear.
