Hello everyone, there are so many incredible scriptures regarding eliminating fear, that this is the second part of the article. See Eliminating Fear and Trusting in God’s Plan HERE.
God’s plan and HIs protocol is to not fear because He is with you.
He says in Isaiah 41:10 to not collapse because of the power of fear. Be so strengthened within because of His power and His presence that you hold fast, your walk forward, anchored in Him.
Learning the Word of God and applying it to your every day life is one of the best things you can do as a believer. Last article was also filled with scriptures and God’s protocol for facing fear, and then eliminating fear.
It is because of the power of God.
Eliminating Fear
When faced with a fearful situation, a diagnosis, a loss, a heartbreak, and fear is right there, what do you do?
God’s perspective is His Word, help, strength and power in the midst of fear. He doesn’t say to ignore fear but rather be filled with His presence.
His presence brings strength and power. God’s Word says He inhabits the praises of His people. His presence comes when you praise Him. Psalm 22:3
It is like a refrigerator that is filled with every kind of good food imaginable. But to stand there and say how hungry you are doesn’t make sense when all you have to do is open the refrigerator door, take what you need and desire, and eat from the vast supply.
I remember standing in a hospital room with our daughter and her husband and our little grand baby had just passed away, I was just gripped with fear. I couldn’t believe we were standing there facing such heartache and grief, and fear was so thick I could feel it, it surrounded us.
In the midst of overwhelming sorrow, I asked the Lord to help me. Simple words from a broken heart.
He spoke to me and said “Debbie I am right here with you.” I could hear His voice, and I could feel His presence. It surrounded us. He had been there the whole time. I just spoke to Him, called His name, cried for help…and He was right there.
The fear left immediately.
We still walked through loss. Heartache. Heartbreak. He was with us through it all.
But fear left because the presence of God was with us.
Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Just saying His name brought His presence. And fear left.
Lastly, think about this-
When you ask Jesus into your heart, and ask Him to be your Savior, it is your mouth, your words, but something miraculous and divine happens. Your old life is passed away and you become a believer, a new creation. Because of the power of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
When you ask the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit, it is your mouth, your words, but something miraculous and divine happens. You are filled with the power of the Living God. The heavenly language comes from God, but it is your mouth, that the heavenly flows is spoken.
When you face fear and anxiety, it is your mouth, your words, and the power of God’s Word that faith is spoken and things change. There is power in God’s Word when spoken from your mouth.
Your mouth + your words + God’s Scripture + God’s power = Change of outcome.
Eliminating Fear & Facing the Giants
Eliminating Fear & Facing the Giants.
David said when facing Goliath the giant “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” I Samuel 17:45-47
This is our game plan, God’s protocol for facing circumstances beyond our control. When fear seeks to overwhelm by fact, diagnosis or circumstance.
This is what we do and what we say.
“I come against this situation in the Name of the Lord God Almighty, the God who you have defied. I speak healing, wholeness, Jehovah Shalom, nothing missing nothing broken.
I thank you God that you are more powerful than what Satan comes against me and my family with. And the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in me. I have the power of the living God inside me. (Romans 8:11)
I don’t quit, I don’t give up and I don’t ever walk away from all God has for me and for the power He put within me.”
In the mighty powerful Name of Jesus, the Name above every name.
Amen.
To God Be All the Glory,
