Scripture Reading: Isaiah 35:4

“Say to those with an anxious and panic-stricken heart, “Be strong, fear not Indeed, your God will come with vengeance [for the ungodly]; The retribution of God will come, But He will save you.”(AMP)

The word is for someone this morning, don’t be move concerning the turbulences around you, be strong in the Lord and do not allow fear in your heart, for God is by your side and He will help you.

Don’t forget that yesterday, we started looking at how to conquer the spirit of fear. Since you are born again, You must realize that God is with you, no matter what you are going through, you are not in it alone, God is by your side and His bringing you out of that tough situation in Jesus name. Also, your trust in the Lord will also determine the level of your intimacy with Him and your intimacy with Him will also determine your good success. (Joshua 1:8). We shall continue from where we stopped yesterday:

3) SEEK THE PEACE OF GOD: The word of Jesus to His disciples, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Fear brings turmoil in our hearts and minds. When we are filled with so much fear, we can’t think properly. It seems everything that we do is subject to danger. We are constantly stricken with the thought that things can go wrong.

Jesus gave us a reason why we must not be afraid. He gave us peace and this should assuage our fear. But you may ask, how can peace extinguish fear in our heart? The simple answer is that the two are contrary to each other. You can’t have both peace and fear at the same time. It is either you are peaceful or fearful. It can’t be both.

4) BE FILLED WITH LOVE: God is love and those who follow God must also be filled with love. If we want to get rid of fear, we must replace it with something. If we keep our minds empty, fear can easily return. That’s why we read in I John 4:18: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

Now, here’s one of the most important keys to getting rid of fear: We must be filled with love. We can cast out fear with love. When love prevails, fear stops from existing. When love overcomes, fear is suppressed. And when love reigns, fear is banished. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

Prayer points: Father, I receive faith and love today! Holy Spirit, help me to manifest it in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
