Fear of Man

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV) 25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

Are we afraid of man? Do we walk around, fearful of what people may try to do to us if we don’t do what they say, or act the way they want us to act? If so, we may live our lives doing everything we can to please them, even if it is something we know we shouldn’t be doing.

Many people live like this and don’t even realize it. More than we would expect, including people we would never expect it from.

What does fear of man do? It gives people control over us. It puts them in charge.

When we are afraid of man, we lose our identity. We walk in intimidation and fear daily, and we are at their beck and call.

There will be times when we know we should speak up, stand up or walk out, etc., but we feel paralyzed and unable to do so.

We’ve allowed this fear of man to dominate us and control us. If we give man the upper hand, he will take it.

Let God deliver us and help us get free from the fear of man today.

Dear God in Heaven,

I come to You today and ask for forgiveness for my fear of man. I ask You to help me and deliver me from this fear. I am willing to take the steps You have for me and I no longer want to live this way. But instead, I put every bit of my trust in You.

I rebuke the spirit of fear and his attack against me, in Jesus’ name. I am no longer in bondage to him, but claim my freedom to speak up, to stand up, to walk where I need to walk and to make the right decisions.

Show me how to stand firm Lord, as I want to live by Your strength every day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV) 25 The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe.

The fear of man can affect our lives greatly. It can prevent us from doing things we want to do. It can cause us to do things we shouldn’t do.

The fear of man can keep us from growing as a follower of Christ.

The fear of man can alter our lives drastically. And if we don’t defeat it once and for all, it can even alter our destiny.

If we were 100% honest, we could all say that the fear of man has affected us in one way or another in our lives. I know it has in my own life, especially up until the last few years.

But, as I went through different things, and I saw how my decisions were affected by the fear of what people might think, it caused me to want deliverance from this thing. It showed me that even though I loved God with all my heart, I was still not following His leading 100% of the time because of this fear that would pop up from time to time.

But once God showed me what this was, I decided I’d had enough of it. I now no longer worry about what others think.

Yes, I care about my reputation as a believer, because I am God’s ambassador. And I want my life to reflect Him in every way possible.

But I don’t worry about what people think of me any longer. Their opinions don’t bother me. Not at all.

Instead of fearing man, I now fear God.

Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) 10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

It is not a fear that causes me to cower in a corner, afraid of what He might do to me. It is a reverent fear. And it stems from loving Him and gaining understanding of who He is and what He wants for my life.

So, if you fear what people think of you, stop. Stop worrying about their opinions, or what they might say about you.
