Fear can't touch what it can no longer reach.
Think about the above statement. If you are prayed up, confident of your identity in Christ, and sure of who is fighting your battles, fear doesn’t stand a chance of hanging around.
A lot of people will pray a prayer, asking Jesus to help them out of a situation, and then if the answer to that prayer doesn’t come, or is late in coming, they give up. They stop praying. Fear sets in.
Once you understand that fear, depression, even suicidal thoughts are all spiritual issues and you use this, along with the word of God, to stand against these evil forces, you are going to have success in your pursuit of wholeness.
It is inescapable that you will experience fear in your life; the question to ask is how to deal with it.
Have faith that God’s got this. Once you put your trust in God, fear leaves. Fear loses ground, it has no hold.
When fear comes, and it will come, stand with God and watch Satan run.
James 4:7 – “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
