Quick Study "Get The Fear Out"

As you grow in faith, you will begin to realize that fear has no dominion over you. Fear is not from God (2 Tim. 1:7). Fear is from the enemy. If you look around, this whole world is living and operating in fear. When something goes wrong, our immediate reaction is fear. Well, I've got news for you. We need to get the fear out, and let the love of God in. This is what gives us the upper hand in this world. When the attacks come, we can lean on, trust in, and put our confidence in our Lord and Saviour. God has promised to protect those who are faithful and obedient to Him (Psalm 91). If we are living our lives the way the Lord wants us to, we should never be in fear. We should stand in confidence knowing we can give God control over all the situations that may bring fear into our lives. I am going to be honest with you. On Friday, due to repeated attacks by satan, I lost my job. Through all of this God still protected me. It was God who told me what to do in the situation. It was God who told me to walk away from the situation I was bound in. So now I have some decisions to make. Am I in fear? Absolutely not!!!!!!! I stand in faith knowing that the Lord will provide for our needs. I stand in faith knowing that bigger and better things are coming our way. How do I know that everything will be okay? I got the fear out. It is that simple.

Scripture Reading 2 Tim. 1:7, Proverbs 29:25, Psalm 112:7-8
