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.
Fear is a powerful thing. We teach about it frequently because it is critical that we recognize fear for what it is, and know how to stand against it.
With that said, we want to address the huge fear attack that has taken place over the last 18 months across the globe.
A spirit of fear has been used to rein people in and cause them to live their lives very apprehensively.
Some have spent the last year and a half hiding from society. Others have stopped seeing their family members. Some will no longer go to the stores or other places in public. Still others have stopped attending any kind of public gatherings.
All of this because of fear.
We need to stop letting fear control us. We need to recognize it for what it is and put it in its place.
We need to put on our best shoes and use them to stand firmly on the enemy’s neck, breaking it in the process.
Fear be gone, in the name of Jesus!
We are fearfully and wonderfully made. This doesn’t mean we should be fearful. Quite the opposite is true.
When the writer penned those words, he was conveying the incredible works of God.
We are complex in our being, made beyond our comprehension, by God’s mighty hand. The wonders of who He made us to be are far above anything we can truly understand.
Think about it. Our bones, muscles, nerves and organs work in perfect harmony to keep us alive. None of it was by chance. Everything in us is there for a specific reason, to perform a specific task.
That is what the Psalmist was referring to in Psalm 139:14 when he wrote those words.
So, in light of this, because we have been incredibly, intricately created, we should not let fear overtake us.
God is our Father. He has created us in a way that should make us confident in how He has equipped our bodies.
Our faith and trust in Him, along with the discernment that He teaches us to have, should help us to recognize the spirit of fear at work, and lead us to stand against it, binding it in the name of Jesus.
Fear be gone, in Jesus’ name!
Stand up and be free. Live like God is your Father, because if you have put your faith in Him through the blood of Jesus, He is!
