3 Surprising Easy Steps to Overcome Any Fear

by gold Adjo - 22:00:00

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear can be overwhelming and crippling if it is not quickly dealt with. However, as overwhelming and crippling as fear is it can be overcome.

What are your fears? Know your fears and don't keep them hidden but uncover them to the light of God's word. Fear can be disastrous to a believer and so don't ignore it, deal with it.

One story in the Bible serves as a great example. Job had fears. He was afraid of losing his family, his wealth, his peace and his health. Years ago, whenever I read the story of Job I wondered why God would allow such evil things to befall such a godly man. I mean, how could God have handed over a man that loved him so much over to the devil to torment? But now, I understand why bad things happened to him.

Job in his long lamentations over what had befallen him tells why he was experiencing such bad things.

Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

Everything he was experiencing had been as a result of his fears. Remember God works with faith while the enemy works with your fears. No wonder there can be a thousand and one bad thoughts that cross your mind each day just to cause you to be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

What are you afraid of?

Write down your fears. Are you afraid you'll remain sick or fall sick? Are you afraid you may never be able to pay your bills, get married or have children? What are you afraid of?

Now, that you have identified your fears don't hush them or sweep them under the carpet because they won't go away. Deal with your fears making use of your faith. It's time to confront your fears and overcome them!

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17)

Read the Bible and find out what it says about your fears. When you know the truth, God's truth concerning your fears, it will set you free from it. Apply the word of God to take away your fears. Darkness has no option but to disappear under the light.

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15

Don't believe the lies of the enemy but subject them to the light of God's word. For example, if you’re afraid of not being able to have kids, search the scriptures to know God’s will concerning childbirth. This is what God's word has to say about infertility:

Exodus 23:26 "No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days.

Deuteronomy 7:14 "You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.

Psalm 128:3 Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table.

Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

What are you afraid of? Confront your fears and overcome them with the word of God! Search the scriptures to find out what the word of God says about your situation and meditate on it in faith. Kick out your fears with the word of God.
