Jesus Christ redeemed you from fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 says
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
and of love, and of a sound mind." So, what do you do
to overcome fear? First of all you need to give the problem
of fear to God. The Bible says "Be careful (anxious) for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto
God. And the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6,7).
When you approach your Heavenly Father in prayer using
Jesus' name, believe that according to 1 John 5:14,15
that God heard your prayer and granted you your
petition, freedom from fear.
What do you do when someone gives you something
of value? You thank them because you received
their gift. Same way with God, when you ask Him
for something and believe He heard and answered
your prayer according to 1 John 5:14,15 then you
thank Him like it says in Philippians 4:6,7.
Whenever that fear tries to attack you, begin to
thank God you are free from that fear. In fact
get in a habit of thanking God throughout the day
for your salvation. Your salvation includes being
saved, healed, protected, made whole, do well,
delivered and preserved. That's alot to be thankful
for because of what Jesus Christ did for you on
Cross.
This is just one scriptural way of overcoming fear.
Lord willing, I will share other scriptural ways
of defeating fear.
There is a spiritual reason for giving thanks to God.
When you thank God, you are releasing your faith
for God's answer to be made real in your life.
This spiritual principle is found in Hebrews 11:1.
I believe this is the greatest explanation of faith in
the Bible.
Begin thanking God you are free from fear. Remember
according to Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon that is formed against
thee shall prosper." That's something to meditate on and
thank God for everyday. Peace to you and enjoy thanking
God for your freedom from fear.
