This Is Not The Fear Of The LORD!

This Is Not The Fear Of The LORD!

All I have to do is stand and the devil will flee! I do not have to attack, even though as a Christian living the life that GOD created and redeemed me to live is an attack against the kingdom of satan driving back the darkness of his kingdom where ever I am.

If I want the devil out of my life, if I want to have victory over the demonic works of the kingdom of darkness all I have to do is stand fast in the liberty with which Christ has set me free. All I have to do is resist the devil and he will flee. Neither standing nor resisting requires me to take any action other than believing and resting in GOD my Father. Both of these require ascent that He has called me into His Kingdom and that nothing or no one can take me out of His Hands and that He will never leave me or forsake me no matter what I do.

There are two kinds of fear, one is that some real danger exists and that certain action on our part will cause us to be endangered. The other is an unreasonable fear of some real or imaginary event or circumstance.

Pastor Jimmy Evans said, “Fear makes you do what will make your fear come true.”

Thoreau had written the sentence, “Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear Is fear Itself."

Fear is a terrible task master causing us to do all sorts of destructive things to ourself and those around us.

So how do we overcome unreasonable or debilitating fear? Pastor Jimmy Evans says we need to admit it, submit it, and resist it or act above it. Admitting that we have a fear of any kind is the first step, when we admit it then we can submit it to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and allow The Holy Spirit to work in our understanding so that we are no longer controlled by fear. Then when that or any other form of fear comes against us we can act above it by believing and confessing that only GOD can send me to hell but that as a born again believer He will not and since that is the truth nothing else that happens to me even death will not separate me from His Love for me nor deny me my eternal place and reward in His Kingdom.
