2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
The enemy loves to bully us and taunt us with FEAR. Because fear makes us look weak.
How do we stop being fearful of something?
We do the very opposite of what fear normally causes us to do. We FACE it and we get victory over it.
Not on our own, but with God’s help and assistance.
Romans 8:31 (NKJV) 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
God is for us and we can win over this fear that we’re battling.
Fear has to go. There are some that are afraid of speaking up at times. There are some that are afraid of stepping out. There are some today that are afraid and intimidated by their own children, their spouse, friends, Pastor, boss, or teacher.
The only way to win is to face it and deal with it so we can put it behind us.
How?
For example, if we are afraid of the dark, then we should leave the lights off and get used to it. It might be very uncomfortable at first, but that discomfort will decrease with time.
If we are afraid to speak up at times, make it a point to speak up as much as we need to, whenever we need to. We may get nervous and even have trouble getting our words out at first. But the more we speak up, the easier it will become.
If we are afraid to be around certain people because they intimidate us, then go around them as much as we can until we are no longer intimidated by them, etc.
God will help us get free from fear as we face it.
