Words of Fear are not Words of God

Hi everyone,

What we focus on is very important. Several times, or even all the time, I always emphasise on we fixing our thoughts on Jesus. I say this every time because it sometimes appears difficult, so, when we keep hearing it every time, over and over again, we then see the simplicity in focusing on Jesus eventually.

Every day, I get better at focusing on Jesus. I haven’t gotten to the stage of perfect focus, but each day I get better than the previous day. But one thing is certain, as we get stronger spiritually, so our trials and temptations get stronger. The devil knows the areas we haven’t perfected, and that is where he tempts us.

I once wrote in one of my write-ups that when we hear the word temptation, we often think of things such as fornication, adultery, theft, murder, backbiting and other related cases. But there are people who are perfect without falling into any of these mentioned, and still, they get tempted by the devil with things beyond these. And one of them is fear!

Fear operates with the same force as faith, it is just that fear carries a negative force, and brings physical evidence which negates what God has ordained for a person. But these starts in the mind, and when we believe this false evidence, they appear real to us, and if care isn’t taken it increases the persons fear. The question now is, how do we overcome fear?

The Bible says in Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Since faith comes by hearing, and the hearing by the word of God, also fear comes by hearing, and the hearing is the corrupt words of the world which the devil is lord over.

The question now is, who do you listen to? God has given every one of us a plan and a purpose. The moment you key into the plan and purpose, you need to deep your head into His Word for guidance in order to achieve that which He has purposed for you, (ref.: Psalms 119:105).

When the Lord tells you, you are healed, what do you listen to? You are meant to listen to His Word, by meditating on it day and night, so that your mind is renewed and your body transformed. Also, it takes away the time you would have given to listen to people who would tell you things negating what the Lord has told you. If you listen to people, songs, voices or anything that is not in line with what the Lord has told you, fear steps in, it’s all about the root.

We need to know this that fear itself is false, not real. Everything that it brings is fake, a mirage, but how will you take off the mirage from your subconscious? It is only through the Word of God, which is the right thing to listen to. If you think you’ve been listening to the Word of God and the fear is still there, then listen all the more because there are still spaces the corrupt words are penetrating, and be diligent and consistent.

You need to understand that the Word of the Lord is true and real because God never lies, and the word of fear is false because it opposes that of God.

As I said last time, praise God at all times to fix your thoughts on the Lord Jesus alone, who would strengthen you spiritually and physically.

You need to be violent, by taking charge of your life through Jesus by constantly confessing what you meditate on, then you would be able to resist the devil, and he would flee from you, (ref.: James 4:7). And always ask the Lord for interpretation of the Word as the Holy Spirit is always there to guide and strengthen us at every point in time.

Remember, do not give up if you don’t see any changes at a certain point in time. Put your backs into it by asking the Holy Spirit for help, as He would direct you to the path you are to take and how you are to take it.

Never give up, fear isn’t real, only faith in the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ is. The promise of the Lord is real. Don’t give up, it’s not over, when you give up, then it’s over. It is not over until you win.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
