How to overcome fear?

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

People have fear which has endless list in the name of Phobia. Psychologically, fear is an abnormal behaviour and a mental disorder. Spiritually, it is a delusion and unperfected nature.

Bondage of fear

The whole world is in the bondage of fear. Even children of God are in fear nowadays. There are certain kind of fear which predominates over people such as fear of death, fear of sickness, fear of failures, fear of darkness and most importantly fear of future. While some others have fear of height, fear of losing hair, fear of gaining or losing weight, fear of talking to others, fear of dreams and so on.

Dear comrades, we should have only one Fear that is the Fear of God which is the beginning of all wisdom. Some rich people are afraid of losing their wealth, most of the celebrities have the fear of losing their complexion and fame, singers are afraid of their voice. people like them are in constant fear and try to take all measures to preserve it but everything goes in vain. We should have the knowledge and wisdom to know the truth.

How can we be free from all fear?

Fear and forgiveness are interconnected. When we have unconfessed or unrepented sin within us then fear dominates us. We can see certain people at death bed, their minds become blank and they exhibit fear on their faces. They wanted to confess their faults and receive forgiveness. Remember, when we have unrepented or unconfessed sins within us even after salvation then that fear will torment us even after death.

Dear Brethren, confess your faults to one another and receive forgiveness. If you feel difficult to overcome from sinful nature, then consult the servants of God to overcome from the unsanctified natures in life. If you have unconfessed sins within you then fear will be haunting even unto eternity. You may have any kind of fear, but when you trace the source of the sin then it would be some unsanctified nature within you.

God loves you

If we don’t have the heart to forgive others then fear of death will encompass us. It will haunt and proclaim fear, fear, fear deep inside your heart. God doesn’t want us to be under fear. He loves us, comforts us and heals us. He delivers us from all kinds of fear.

We are a chosen generation, holy nation, royal priesthood, and a peculiar people, who were delivered from darkness and brought into the marvelous light to shew forth His good deeds.

Unfeigned Love

The word of God says, “Perfect love casteth out all fears” ( I John 4: 8). When we love the Lord our God with pure, holy and undefiled love then He is able to caste out all kinds of fear.

The best love that God has revealed unto mankind is Calvary’s love. The love of Calvary overcomes failures, difficulties, sickness, and all kind of fears that torments us. Calvary’s love overcomes even the fear of death. However complicated, or difficult or worse the situations may be, Calvary’s love is able to overcome everything.

In Matthew 22 : 37, 38, Jesus said unto the lawyer, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.” Let us therefore love the Lord our God with all of our heart, mind and soul.

May the grace of God strengthen you to overcome all kinds of fear. Amen!
