For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Our opening scripture clearly outlines fear as a phenomenon that’s not part of your spiritual nature or make-up. So, if you ever sense fear trying to take a hold of you, refuse it. In studying the Scriptures, you’d notice that whenever the Lord appeared to anyone in Bible days, often, His first words were “Fear not” as you’d observe in Isaiah 41:10, Joshua 1:9, and Revelation 1:17.
He commands us to refuse fear regardless of what is happening in the world. You carry the seal of God upon your life; a divine decree that separates you from everything that hurts or binds. You’re separated unto God. Remember the words of the Master: “…whosoever believeth in him should not perish…” (John 3:16).
That’s because His seal of protection is on you (Ephesians 1:13). Always declare boldly, “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1).
You carry the glory of salvation with you. You don’t get into trouble, looking for escape; with every problem or danger, salvation is present; deliverance is sure. Before the challenge appears, you’re already ahead in victory. So, as you go about your life, ministry, and daily routine, let nothing frighten or intimidate you.
If circumstances look threatening, remember who you are: more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). The Lord Himself is your salvation. You’re preserved by His divine power, shielded by His presence, and marked for endless triumph. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ….” Hallelujah!
Therefore, live boldly and purposefully; speak with authority. Walk in the consciousness that you’re not of this world. The life in you is superior to every crisis, and the Spirit of God in you keeps you above harm. The Bible says, “…greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Prayer / Confession
The Lord is my refuge and my strength, my salvation, in whom I’m shielded and preserved from all evil. His life in me is superior to every crisis and keeps me permanently over and above everything that hurts or binds. I have the spirit of power, love and a sound mind. Hallelujah!
