FEAR FOREVER CAST OUT

February 10

hild of the King, do you sometimes suffer with unexplainable and persistent fears? Do you tend to worry more than some people around you? If this is the case, I want to help you to get set free. Remember my promise to you, "Perfect love casts out fear?" (I John 4:18 NKJV) The word of God indicates that the person who walks in fear "has not been made perfect in love." (I John 4:18 NKJV) What does that mean to you? It means that when fear grips you, then you should reaffirm aloud your love for your Father, and invite Him to come to you and break the authority of this fear. If you will make an offering of love and blessing to your Father at the point of the fear revealing itself, you will be empowered in that moment to begin the process of deliverance from that bondage. Remember another word from the Scriptures, "Whenever I am afraid, I will put my trust in the Lord." (Psalm 56:3) What does this scripture verse mean to you? It means that when you are experiencing this fear, you must then and there refuse to bow down to it, but you must treat it as though it is a living thing and rebuke and resist it. Turn yourself immediately over to the Lord Jesus. "Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the Devil and he will flee from you!"(James 4:7) In other words, in the past, you have bowed to the fear and it has beaten you down. Now at the point of the fear or worry you can pray the following: "Father, it is a sin for me to worry and for that sin I now repent! It is an evil thing for me to allow fear to rule me! In the name of Jesus Christ, I submit myself to you, and I resist this fear and worry in His precious name and I call upon you O Lord to come to me and break its authority over me once and for all, in the name of Jesus!" Tell me child, do you think that your Father will sit idly upon His throne and do nothing for you when you seriously call out to Him? I have urged you to "call unto God, and I (He) will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV) Your Father wants you to walk in high confidence and joy and not to live in fear, doubt and worry. Now, what are you going to do about this? I urge you in the name of Jesus to stand against your fears and to say, "Father, let this be the last day that these sick, evil things rule over me!!" If you are filled with fears and are distracted from the work of the Kingdom by them, you will be ineffective, weak and powerless. There is too much work to be done for your Father's kingdom for you to shrink back in fear. Rise up and decide to press into the land of great victory, and you will triumph. And remember, your Father watches over you and loves you deeply!

Prayer

Father, too long I have listened to the voice of fear and doubt. No more! Speak to me Lord and I will allow your great love to envelope me and filter into every corner of my soul and mind. I am happiest when I know that you lead me and infill me with your Holy Spirit of boldness and courage. I know that you hear me Father, in the name of your Son Jesus, amen!
