“And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish, the king of Gath.” ~ 1 Samuel 21:12
Hearing some words spoken can bring fear into our hearts even though we know we have a promise from God. Fear will take your joy and promise. They will cause distress within your spirit, stealing your peace, sleep, comfort, etc. When we allow fear to have a foothold in our minds, it can overcome us completely.
The battle of fear is won or lost in the battle of the mind. So every morning, put on the FULL Armor of God so that you can protect yourself from the fear that tries grip you through intimidating words. Deceitful eyes. Lying tongues. You are a Child of God, so whom shall you fear?
