Destroying Fear: A Five-Day Devotional Sample

The Cross

Let me go on record by saying it is time to punch the devil in the mouth. Satan’s presumption is to make you believe that he can take over your life and your rights as a child of God. But he has underestimated us as the real Church of Jesus Christ; we have been called for spiritual warfare, not to live defeated lives in mediocre Christianity. Our Lord Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price two thousand years ago for us to be victorious in our Christian walks.

When Jesus said at the cross, “It is finished!” He gave the Church not only the victory, but everything we need to fight the good fight of faith. Yet we allow the enemy to put a fear factor in our lives, dilute these precious words, and downplay the victory of the cross. In doing so, we have turned our Lord Jesus Christ into a mere man.

It is time to pick up these powerful words, pick up the cross as our victory banner, and trample over the hosts of hell. We need to let them know that we are on the victorious side through Jesus and the finished work of the cross.

So take sixty seconds right now and praise Jesus as you have never praised Him before. Say, “Thank You, King Jesus!”

Declare This throughout Your Day: I am a citizen in God’s Kingdom through Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross.

Reflection Questions: Where do you stand on giving fear an eviction notice? Do you feel confident that your victory in Jesus can drive fear from your life? How can you build your strength in this area?
