“Fear Can Be Overcome”

What is fear?

Fear is a God given emotion that every person experiences; it is a feeling aroused in us when we perceive something as a threat or a danger to our lives.

I Cor 15:57  “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”

Yes, you can have victory over your fear!!! You may have lost many battles until now. You may have gone into retreat and isolated yourself from whatever you fear.  You may have lived in the “fear cycle” for a long time. It doesn’t matter.What matters is now you want the victory. God wants you to have the victory.  He has made it possible through Jesus Christ. If you are willing to face the enemy again and enter the arena God’s way, you will triumph.

I John 4:18 says fear has torment.  So when we are faced with fear, we also face torment.  It is the enemies strategy to bring fear to us, and torment.  But the Bible decrees God has not given us a spirit of fear, but love, power and a sound mind.

Fear does not give up easily, but Light always dispels darkness.  You must remember unrealistic fear is not based on reality.

There are 4 areas of response that work together to give us victory over fear:

1) Truth overcomes fear

John 8:31-32  says If you abide in my word….You shall know the truth and truth shall make you free. It is important to bring truth into our area of fear. How? Find a promise from the scriptures concerning fear.  Use the scriptural reference to counteract the fear.  Instead of dwelling on fear, immediately turn your mind to the truth.  I Sam 17 when David confronted Goliath, he would have been overwhelmed by fear if his attention was solely on what he saw.  Instead he saw the situation through the eyes of God. Next to God, Goliath looked small.  David said in versre 45 I came to you in the name of the Lord of host, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.  The Goliath of fear has no right to challenge you when you view it from God’s perspective.

2) Love overcomes fear

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear.

Love is more powerful than fear.  Fear is centered in ourselves. Love is centered in God and others.  We must turn our concern from fear to God.  When our love is perfected in God, and perfected, it automatically takes away fear.  Draw on the love of God.  Perfect that love, and fear will disappear.

3)faith overcomes fear

The bible says this is the faith that overcomes the world.  Our faith in God causes us to be an overcomer.

4) Courage to act overcomes fear

Joshua 1:9  Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

So God is saying just be strong in Me, and the power of my might. Have courage, and dont be afraid.  Don’t be dismayed by anything that you see with the physical eye.   Dont be afraid.  God is with you.  He is not only with you, but He is with you wherever you go.  This is God’s promise to you.  That He will be with you.  You can rest upon this promise solely, knowing that you are never alone.

Take heart and be of good cheer.  He has overcome the world.  We too have overcome the world, even our faith.

Your Isaac Shall be Birthed @ It’s Set Time!

When the Lord speaks a thing to you, he will visit you as He had said. The Lord will do to you what He has promised.  In Gen 21:1  that is the promise that He made.  You wil  conceive at the ‘set time”.  Your Isaac shall be birthed at it’s set time.  One of the things I love most about God is that when He decrees conception it will always happen on time and on schedule.

Many of us today are prophetically sick because we have lost the sense of our set time.  The pregnacy has been so long coming that you have almost given up on the dream in the middle of the stream.

Even Abraham had to wait until he was 100 years old for his set time to come. We must all learn to wait for our set time.

Heb 11:11 says through faith Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed when she was past age.  But she judged him faithful who had promised.

Have you judged God who has promised Faithful?

Gal 6:9 says let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right for in the due season or time, the appointed set season, we shall reap if we dont loosen or relax our courage and faint.

So what God has promised we accept it.  What are we accepting?  The divine favor that accompanies your set time.  You can thank God in advance for the breakthrough and favor that you are expecting.  Receive the anointing that will make you disarm satanic powers and take your authority.  You can praise God because eye hath not seen nor ear heard what He has in store for you.

Pray the favor of God will manifest, even in adverse places like when Joseph was in the prison.  You can receive the favor of divine elevation in the sight of the enemy.

Ask God to lead you to those who bless you and not to those that destroy you.  Ask God to order your steps to meet those who will believe in the ability of God that He has placed in you, and remove all those in your path, that publicly smile at you, but privately wish your demise.

I decree you will receive the kind of favor that will bring your abilities to the notice of kings.  I decree that God will place on the inside of you a “breakthrough” idea that will open the door of favor for you.  I also pray that you will be patient for the day of your promotion rather than be in haste.

I decree over you, and you must confess by faith that you have the life and favor of God in the face of  imminent danger.  I decree that the favor of God will be manifest in you everywhere you go, as it was in the case of Daniel.  Kings will seek after you.  This same favor and honor will frustrate the enemys plan.  You will possess favor and good understanding.  With that favor and good understanding, will come strength upon your life.

This same favor of God will not cease in your church or ministry.  The wall of resistence between you and people is being broken, and the favor to deal with what needs to be dealt with is yours.  Praise God because the enemy will not triumph over you.  God will cause the kind of blessing in your life that will bring a flow without sweat.

I also pray and decree that spiritual slumber will no more linger in your presence.  I decree the curse of dissatisfaction will be reversed in all that you do.  I also decree that evil pronouncements of those who are envious will turn towards blessings for you.

The Lord is delivering you from the emotional baggage that you inherited from your family line.  I pray with you also to break the curse of panic and fear that tries to grip your heart.  You also are countering the impact of the curses that you may have brought upon yourself– with the blood of Jesus!

You are breaking free from astonishment of heart in Jesus’ name.  I pray that where you have seen curses manifest in your life in times past, as it is breaking it will now began to turn into a blessing for you.  So every root of barrenness in your life will break forth with fruit bearing.  Begin to thank God for delivering you from spiritual barrenness. Amen.  Thank God that you will began to experience your fruitfulness where there was barrenness in your life.  I praise God that the promotion of the Lord in your life will move you from barrenness to fruitfulness.  You will move from “mere” fruit bearing to bearing “much” fruit.

I pray that every agony and burden of your heart like Rachel is being released.

Lastly, make a covenant with God like the mother of Samuel did and dedicate the miracle you will receive to the Lord even before it happens. God will see you through to birthing.  Your conception will be with the right seed, vision and ideas.  Every tendacy of miscarriage of your seed or pregnacy you are rejecting. AMEN!
