Faith Over Fear!

Several weeks ago, a prophetic word was given stating “that several people were dealing with fear” and that this fear could be dealt with at the altar. Well, more than several, a considerable number came to the altar, and other leaders prayed for them and in faith we believe that God met their needs. I went from being thankful for the obedient response to wondering why so many people, especially Christians, still struggle with fear. Truth be known, this could be the explanation for the lukewarmness and the status quo attitude in many churches. Fears of failure, inadequacy, sickness, disease etc. cause many to live in fear, not knowing that there is a choice. The choice to walk in freedom is often blinded many times by things that never become a reality.
This reality is the basis of this teaching and my hopes that you and I will be set free from the traps of the enemy. Psalm 56:3 says, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” This verse tells us that fears will come, but it is how you respond to them that is crucial to the outcome. “Do not fear” is more than words, it is a safety, a refuge, a victorious position that is available to all who put their trust in God. Where do you stand today? What areas of your life are limited because of fears?
“God did not give us a spirit of fear.”
