How to walk successfully without fear?, only God's ways can lead us to fearless life. Jesus Came to this world to take our fears out and when the good news of His birth was announced to Mary and Shepherds the first world the angels uttered is "Fear not", "Do not be afraid". There are 7 fears in our life which puts us down and not allowing us to walk successfully which is contrary to God's word.
They are:-
1. Fear of unknown (What will
happen in future)
2. Fear of death
3. Fear of man
4. Fear of failure
5. Fear of rejection
6. Fear of sickness
7. Fear of insufficiency
2. Fear of death
3. Fear of man
4. Fear of failure
5. Fear of rejection
6. Fear of sickness
7. Fear of insufficiency
How to overcome these fears:
1. Fear of unknown: Commit
your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3. So we
confidently put our hope and faith in God for our future. So only we don't see
horoscope.
2. Fear of death:
Hebrews 2:14&15 says, because God's children are human beings, made of flesh and
blood, the son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he
die and only by dying could break the powers of the devil who had the
powers of death. Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their
lives as slave to the fear of dying (He died in your place so that you can
live).
3. Fear of man:
Hebrews 13:6 says, So we can say with confidence "The Lord is my helper, so I
will have no fear, what can mere people do to me?" They are only mere or nothing
because God is with you to battle for you, you will have to believe. Confess it
when problem comes.
4. Fear of failure:
Hebrews 13:5, "I will never fail you, I will never abandon you". Trust only in
Him, He will never fail you, you will always walk in victory if you trust Him
fully.
5. Fear of rejection: If
you feel rejected and unworthy, say that "I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me". Keep pressing in faith until you win. The game is not over
until you win. Take His strength and His Name (Nissi - Victory banner) and
conquer your situations, because He has not rejected you instead He gave His
life for you.
6. Fear of sickness: Jesus
died for our sickness too, so only its written "Through His stripes we were
healed". So already He has borne your sickness so you just have to cast your
sickness on Him and take His healing in faith.
7. Fear of insufficiency: My
God shall supply all my needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.
Expect God to bless you according to His riches and glory. Press on in your
faith so that God could bless you according to His measure. Shortage is
artificially created by man's sin. So use God's standards in
prospering. First lend and do not borrow, give first if you want to receive and
sow first to reap abundantly and expect only the blessing of the Lord can make
you rich and He will not add any sorrows to it.
