Tag: What the Bible says about overcoming fear

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-9-24

Psalm 34:4 (NKJV) 4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

I once was so fearful in my life. I trembled at being alone.

I was so afraid that one time, as I was down in my basement doing laundry, I heard something and I froze.

I was running water at the time. And because I froze and became distracted by what I heard, the water overflowed onto the floor, snapping me out of my frozen position.

Being afraid is not good. The enemy will use it to “freeze” us, symbolically speaking. He will keep us as believers in one place if he can.

I prayed to God and asked Him to help me overcome my fear of being alone. I waited and sought Him for deliverance from such a thing.

During an evening service in church sometime later, the Pastor gave an altar call. I happened to be sitting in the front row that night.

When he encouraged anyone who needs prayer to come forward, I knew I needed prayer, and I so wanted to take the few steps to get up there.

But I was frozen. Again I could not move.

My legs would not move. And as the Pastor began to pray for others, I remained there, wanting so badly to take those steps forward.

When he had finished praying for all those up front, he was led to come over and pray for me. Only God knew.

And that night I was delivered. Fear left me. Thank you, Jesus Christ!

Did I have to remind myself whenever fear would try to attack me again? Yes. And I did!

I will no longer be afraid of being alone. God has delivered me!

Psalm 145:18 (NKJV) 18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

He is always near. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-8-15

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-15

Revelation 1:8 (NKJV) 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, ”says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

We don’t need to be afraid of anything today.

Our Father is the Alpha and the Omega!! He has given us what we need to defeat any giant that stands against what He is trying to do in us or through us.

He has given us wisdom, power and might through the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we can do what He calls us to do.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Even though we may know there are things we need to do, it doesn’t necessarily mean we can just start doing them right away. We need to get ready first, through training and preparation. Don’t just jump in head first. Let it happen in God’s time and in God’s way.

Do we think that David took out the giant with his own might, strength and knowhow?

1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 45 Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

No. David came to him in the name of the Lord, the One who taught him and trained him. David was being trained to fight this giant while doing what he was supposed to be doing in the fields, tending the flocks. His everyday stuff.

God taught Him, first, how to trust Him, by delivering him from his enemy, right on his job! So when it came time to fight the giant, he was ready and prepared. He had a knowing and a trust in the Lord because He had seen it for himself, firsthand.

1 Samuel 17:37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Being teachable is a big part of learning how to take out the giants in our lives. As we listen, and obey God, we experience it firsthand and it becomes a way of living!! Amen.
