VICTORY OVER FEAR (PT 2)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 (NKJV)
Fear is the enemy's strength. Nothing robs you of all your powers, covenant provisions and victory like fear. Anything you fear, you have handed over your power to. Fear defeats people more than anything in the world. A fear-free you is the key to a life of victory and glory. Where your fear ends is where your victory begins. What really paralyses the potentials of many believers and causes them to be couched-in in the face of uncertainties is fear. As revealed in our guiding scripture, fear is a torment. It is fear that torments and not the devil or the challenge. Victory over fear therefore, is victory indeed. You must fight fear more than you fight the devil himself.
Our anchor scripture says "perfect love casts out fear." This is the very secret that will utterly destroy the power of fear in you and make you walk into your victory as an overcomer. You must understand that the love God has towards you is perfect; your past mistakes, errors, shortcomings notwithstanding. Condemnation, accusation and guilt remain the greatest weapons of satan against believers. If you can't overcome these forces, you can't rule and reign in life. As seen in Rom. 5:17, righteousness is right standing with God without any sense of guilt, condemnation and sin consciousness. Any Christian that can't appropriate their righteousness consciousness, can't dominate satan.
As a matter of fact, for you to approach the throne of God, obtain mercy and find grace to help, your boldness is paramount (Heb. 4:16). The devil, in his subtlety, fills the heart of believers with fear due to past errors and inadequacies to weaken their boldness. While this is not a license to indulge in habitual sins; because you can't continue in sin habitually and not fall short of God's grace (Rom. 6.1), but sin consciousness will ruin your faith and dominion mentality and it will empower the enemy to gain advantage over you. Therefore, accept the perfect love of Christ today, cast out that stronghold of fear, and walk into your victory as an overcomer.
DECLARATION
Today, I accept the perfect love of Christ. I believe that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, I let go of every guilt, accusation and condemnation from the devil and I cast out every stronghold of fear. Thank you LORD, in Jesus name.
KEEP IN MIND
God's love towards you is perfect; your past mistakes, errors, shortcomings notwithstanding.
