7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. ~ 2 Timothy 1:7KJV
We cannot operate in power when we walk in fear. Because you cannot cast out or drive out what you are afraid of. You will run from what you fear, just like the Israelites ran from Goliath because they feared him greatly.
You cannot cast out, drive out, or overcome what you fear! Fear is a form of weakness that leads to distrust. When we distrust God, our faith dwindles. And as our faith dwindles, our relationship with God dwindles. The Spirit of Fear tries to dominate us and put us into submission so that it can separate us from God. Because if we are separate from God, Fear and other evil spirits can wreak havoc in our lives freely.
But if we stand firmly in faith because we know whom we serve, then we become more than conquerors. Then no weapon formed against us can prosper. Because now we are working, living, and abiding in the love, protection, and arms of the Almighty. So, trust God because He will never leave you, nor will He forsake you.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Abide in the Arms of the Almighty.
