Fearless: How to Conquer Fear ForeverSample

DAY 4 — The Power to Be Free from Fear Forever!

Today, we are going to look at some of the ways fear stops us from going forward and we will banish these fears forever.

1. Fear gets us to compare ourselves to others. We won’t be happy when we compare ourselves to others and to what they have. We can only be second-best at being someone else!

2. Fear makes us think we could never change. Perhaps you’ve feared that you’ll always be the same, never able to overcome. But beloved, God, who has begun a good work in you and WILL complete it!

3. Fear makes us afraid that we will not have what we want. God is not holding any good thing back from us. You and I are the righteousness of God the moment we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. Since we are now righteous, He will not withhold any good thing from us. He will freely give us all things.

4. Fear is a magnet for failure in our lives. Fear is a force that causes the very thing we’re afraid of to come to pass. What we fear comes upon us.

5. Fear gets us to doubt that God’s Word will work. All fear is the result of not believing a promise from God.

How to be free from fear forever.

Notice the three gifts God gives in 2 Timothy 1:7, and how they can free us from fear:

1. Power. Power delivers us from fear because all fear comes from a sense of powerlessness over our situation.

2. Love. When you understand perfect love, it delivers you from fear. And perfect love is that He first loved us!

3. A Sound Mind. This means to think from God’s point of view as expressed in His Word. A person with a sound mind comes into agreement with God’s way of seeing and thinking.

You can be bold in the face of fear because the righteous are as bold as a lion. Have confidence in knowing who you are, like the lion, who knows he’s the king of the jungle. Inside of you is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. And as He is in this world, so are we—FEARLESS!
