How to overcome fear

1. BE SURE THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD

This means that we must turn from all sin and decide not to do it again. We call this repentance. We should confess our sins to God. My daughter, Maria, was born again after she read a little book on the subject. She went into her bedroom and got on her knees, turned from her sins and asked Jesus Christ into her life.

2. SEEK THE WATER BAPTISM AND WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE GIFT OF TONGUES

If you have never undergone any form of water baptism, it is imperative that you undergo. Jesus Christ told His disciples, including those who had already received the Holy Spirit (John 20:22), to wait in Jerusalem until they received the promise of the Father.

3. REPENT AND CONFESS THE SIN OF FEAR AND ANY OTHER SIN IN OUR LIVES

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Clearly God has not given us that spirit of fear, but rather of power and of His love and of a sound mind.

4. REMIND GOD OF WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU IN THE PAST

As we walk with God, we find that we have a testimony of God’s goodness in our lives. When David was speaking to Saul, telling Saul that he could defeat the Philistines, he was reminding himself of what the Lord had done for him in the past.

MEDITATING ON THE WORD

God has promised to keep us in perfect peace if our mind is stayed on Him.

“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. (Isaiah 26:3)

By regular mediation and reading of the Word of God we can grow stronger spiritually each day and are thus able to use the Word of God to defeat the enemy.

THROUGH PRAYER AND FASTING

Sometimes we are called by the Lord to pray and fast. As we do so, He reveals blockagesand blind spots in our lives and we become ready for deliverance. At that point of time, through prayer on our own or with others, we will find that fear will flee.
