KEY SCRIPTURE:2Ti 1:7 KJV “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

​

From our previous study, we realised that fear of acting boldly is what prevents us from  stirring up the gift of God in us. Apostle Paul now clarifies to Timothy and to every Christian that God our Father has not given us the spirit of fear. Every kind of fear showing its head in your life comes from the enemy.

​

The scripture explains rightly that fear is not just a psychological state but a spirit. It is a personality that  seeks to influence you. As a spirit, it is intelligent. It functions by communicating lies. Fear’s  power to hold a man bound is to deceive you with  those lies. Please never treat those negative compelling words as your own reasoning pattern.

​

If the lies of the Spirit of fear are believed, they make you feel very weak and vulnerable; it leaves you confused, and then you lose the love you had for God, because in the presence of love, fear cannot operate. These very conditions that fear tries to  negate in you are what the father has given you. They are power, love and a sound mind.

​

To rightly deal with fear, you must acknowledge that you are dealing with an

intelligent personality. Secondly, resist the lies it tells you. If it says your condition can not get better, please talk back to it by saying that the word of God says no evil shall befall you. Fear does not only work with words. The words take over your emotions. Speak the truth to yourself till your emotions are free of the anxious state fear sets them into.

​

The moment you take charge over  the negative emotions begin to act against the negative responses you were giving to the spirit of  fear.Now acknowledge that  you  have power, that is the ability to act positively..Secondly you have love.This is the ability to be affectionate towards God and to be rightly disposed towards him.Lastly you have a sound mind, so  refuse every confusion  and get your mind focused on doing the positive things only.

THOUGHT:EVERY WORD FEAR SAYS IS A ĹIE ,REFUTE IT WITH. THE SCRIPTURES
