LET’S TALK
“I don’t have any fears,” Maddie said to her class when her teacher asked everyone to take turns sharing their greatest fears. Maddie had none to share.
“That’s impossible! You’ve got to be afraid of something!” Trent exclaimed loudly. He couldn’t believe his ears. Nonetheless, Maddie stayed firm and unmoved by their pleas for her to confess “her fears.”
There’re certain negative forces that affect people’s actions, choices, and decisions; one of them is fear. Fear is a tormenting spirit. There’re different kinds of fear: the fear of failure, the fear of the future, the fear of man, the fear of death, the fear of darkness, even the fear of missing out, and so on.
Oftentimes, those who are driven by fear or phobia can’t even define what they’re afraid of. Yet, they perpetually live in fear. But we’re never to be moved by fear because we’re born of God and live by faith. In your life, make up your mind that you’ll never be ruled by fear. Never allow fear to prompt you to take an action or stop you from taking one.
The Bible says fear entraps, but if you trust in the Lord, you’re safe (Proverbs 29:25). It also says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). That means if you’re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, fear has no place in your life, and you have the spirit of power, of love, and of a sound mind. Glory to God!
It makes no difference whether there is darkness in the world or how dismal the world gets; refuse to be agitated. Trust the Lord because He leads you in a perpetual victory parade and in triumph. God has ordained your victory, promotion, and prosperity in the midst of darkness. He already planned that you’d be a success in this life, irrespective of what’s going on in the world around you. So, live confidently every day, knowing that your faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).

Satan and the powers of darkness are under my feet; therefore, I have nothing to fear. The impulses of fear have been completely disabled in my life. Irrespective of the situation, I’m bold and courageous, speaking the Word in faith. My faith is the victory that overcomes fear, sickness, disease, and infirmities. I walk in dominion over the elements of this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
