Fear is a door!

 “For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.” Job 3:25 KJV

Fear is a door; only faith can shut it down. If it is not shut down, it can give access to bondage, torment, and oppression. Fear does not come from God, for “God hath not given us the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). Fear weakens confidence, magnifies opposition, and tries to silence faith, but faith shuts the door that fear tries to open. Romans 8:15 says, “Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear,” and Hebrews 2:14–15 shows that Christ came to deliver those who were all their lifetime subject to bondage through fear of death. Fear may knock; you must answer it with the Word of faith.

You must speak against your fear and act against your fear. David did not negotiate with Goliath; he confronted him, declaring, “I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts” (1 Samuel 17:45–47). He spoke faith and acted in faith, before he saw victory. God says in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God.” Fear is not your portion, and fear is not your nature in Christ. Refuse to entertain fear, refuse to confess fear, and refuse to bow to fear. Speak faith, walk in obedience, and let the promises of God become stronger in your heart than the threats around you.

Prophetic Word: I declare that every door fear has opened in your life is shut now in the name of Jesus. Every torment, oppression, delay, and confusion sponsored by fear is broken off your life. I declare that the spirit of fear has no place in you, for the Lord has filled you with power, love, and a sound mind in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: My Father and my God, thank You because You have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. I reject every fear that is trying to gain entrance into my life. By Your Word, I shut every door that fear has opened to the enemy. Let every bondage of fear be broken, and let Your peace rule in my heart. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
