FAITH VS FEAR

FEAR VS FAITH

 

Psalm 118:6   The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

 Fear not is in the bible over 60 times. Fear becomes doubt and unbelief when it is acted upon. Fear cancels out faith.

Fear is not natural to the born again believer.

 1^st John 4:15-18    ¹⁵ Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

¹⁶ And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

¹⁷ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Satan can not do anything to us apart from fear; anymore than God can do something for us apart from faith.

Faith moves God because faith is in God…Fear move Satan because fear is in Satan.

Faith is a spiritual force it is Gods creative power… faith is the substance of things hoped for.

Fear is also a spiritual force; it is Satan’s destructive power. The substance of things not desired.

Faith comes by hearing the Word, fear comes by hearing the world.

Jesus is the author and developer of our faith… Satan develops and supports fear.

Romans 8:15   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.

Fear is developed through meditating on it and acting on Satan’s lies…. Fear demands compromise.

To act on fear is to act as if Satan is bigger than God… Tell Satan to get behind you, the Holy Spirit will act after you act.

Fear causes oppression. Oppression (brought on by Satan) will take away everything God has blessed you with. Satan has no right to it.

Acts 10:38   Now God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

We have been released from oppression and fear. Fear depends on what it sees. It must have it to exist.

Faith depends on Gods word which is eternal. Keep your eyes on Jesus and the word. Then fear will be defeated in your life. No Christian filled with the Holy Spirit need fear the things of this world.

Be blessed,
