Faith and fear are the two sides of one coin: Faith comes by hearing and believing the Word of God just as fear comes by hearing and believing the word of satan. Faith feeds on the impossible. Faith builds you up by giving you divine assurance that you are coming out of whatever problem you find yourself stronger and better because God is there with you (Romans 8:28). Fear says the contrary. It gives you the impression that you are facing the worst of life and that you are not going to survive it. Satan tells you that even God can not do anything about your situation!
What Prophet Isaiah said in the chapter 53 verse 1 is relevant here: "Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed." (NIV). I remember what Elizabeth said at her meeting with Mary the Mother of Jesus: "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished" (Luke 1:45 NIV). Do I need to remind you that your miracles depend on your faith. Haven't you read from the Scripture Jesus saying "It is to you according to your faith"? It is also to you according to your fear.Cast out the spirit of fear out of your life, embrace the promise of God for your life according to the Scripture. Resist the devil and you watch him flees away from you as in terror. Stay victorious.
