INTRODUCTION

Fear is one of Satan's most effective weapons against God's children. Before the devil can defeat a believer outwardly, he first attempts to defeat him inwardly through fear. Fear weakens faith, magnifies problems, clouds judgment, hinders prayer, and opens the door to unbelief.

Throughout Scripture, whenever God was about to do something extraordinary in the life of His people, His first instruction was often:

"Fear not!"

God spoke these words to Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, David, Mary, Peter, Paul, and many others because fear is a major enemy of faith.

In Genesis 15:1, God told Abram:

"Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."

The presence of fear indicates that our eyes have shifted from God's power to the size of our problems.

WHAT IS FEAR?

Fear is an unpleasant emotional response to perceived danger, uncertainty, loss, opposition, failure, rejection, sickness, death, or future events.

Spiritually, fear is faith in the devil's ability to harm us more than faith in God's ability to protect us.

Fear is believing the negative report above God's promises.

Definition of Fear

Fear is:

• False Evidence Appearing Real.
• Confidence in the wrong direction.
• Expectation of evil instead of expectation of God's goodness.
• Trust in circumstances rather than trust in God.

WHAT IS THE SPIRIT OF FEAR?

The spirit of fear is a demonic influence that seeks to paralyze faith and disconnect believers from confidence in God.

2 Timothy 1:7 declares:

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Notice that Scripture calls it a spirit.

Fear is not merely an emotion; often it is a spiritual attack intended to:

• Weaken faith
• Create panic
• Produce confusion
• Discourage prayer
• Stop obedience
• Destroy confidence in God

Whenever fear dominates the heart, faith becomes ineffective.

FEAR: A MAJOR INSTRUMENT OF THE DEVIL

The devil uses fear because he knows:

1. Fear Weakens Faith

Faith attracts God's intervention.

Fear hinders the operation of faith.

2. Fear Magnifies Problems

Fear makes giants look bigger than God.

David saw Goliath through God's power while Israel saw Goliath through fear.

3. Fear Produces Bondage

People become prisoners of what they fear.

4. Fear Steals Peace

Fear torments the mind day and night.

5. Fear Causes Spiritual Paralysis

Many people know what God wants them to do but cannot move because fear has imprisoned them.

WHAT CAUSES FEAR?

1. Lack of Trust in God

When confidence in God decreases, fear increases.

Isaiah 41:10

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee."

2. Negative Reports

Bad news often creates fear.

The ten spies brought an evil report which produced fear in Israel.

3. Past Failures and Experiences

Past disappointments can create fear of future attempts.

4. Ignorance of God's Word

The less we know God's promises, the more vulnerable we become to fear.

5. Demonic Oppression

Some fears have spiritual roots requiring deliverance and intense prayer.

6. Focusing on Circumstances

Peter walked on water until he focused on the storm.

Whatever captures your attention controls your emotions.

WHAT FEAR CAUSES IN THE LIFE OF A BELIEVER?

1. Fear Produces Doubt

Fear and faith cannot thrive together.

2. Fear Delays Destiny

Many opportunities are lost because of fear.

3. Fear Opens Doors to Anxiety

Fear creates emotional and mental torment.

4. Fear Weakens Prayer

Fear-filled prayers lack confidence.

5. Fear Destroys Vision

People stop dreaming and pursuing God's purpose.

6. Fear Brings Discouragement

Fear convinces believers that victory is impossible.

7. Fear Can Lead to Wrong Decisions

Many people make costly mistakes under pressure and fear.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FEAR IS ENTERTAINED IN THE HEART?

When fear is allowed to remain:

• Faith begins to die.
• Hope becomes weak.
• Joy disappears.
• Courage fades.
• Prayer becomes ineffective.
• The mind becomes confused.
• Opportunities are missed.
• Spiritual growth becomes stagnant.

Fear grows wherever it is tolerated.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF FEAR

The deepest root of fear is separation from confidence in God's presence and power.

Whenever people lose awareness of God's:

• Presence
• Protection
• Promises
• Power

Fear gains entrance.

Psalm 23:4 says:

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me."

David's confidence was not the absence of danger but the presence of God.

DAVID'S SECRET OF CONQUERING FEAR

1 Samuel 17:34-39

David remembered God's past faithfulness.

He declared:

"The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine."

David defeated Goliath before facing him because fear had already been defeated in his heart.

FEAR MAGNIFIES PROBLEMS MORE THAN GOD

Fear enlarges obstacles.

Faith enlarges God.

The fearful Israelites saw:

• A giant
• Defeat
• Impossibility

David saw:

• A defeated enemy
• God's power
• Certain victory

Your perspective determines your outcome.

HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

1. Know God's Word

Faith comes by hearing God's Word.

The Word destroys fear.

2. Speak God's Promises

Declare God's promises daily.

3. Pray Aggressively

Fear cannot survive in a prayerful heart.

4. Remember Past Victories

The God who delivered yesterday can deliver today.

5. Focus on God's Greatness

Magnify God above every challenge.

6. Reject Fear Immediately

Never negotiate with fear.

Refuse fear the moment it appears.

7. Stay Filled with the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit releases courage and boldness.

WHEN AND HOW TO REFUSE FEAR

Refuse fear:

• When bad news arrives.
• When doctors give difficult reports.
• When finances appear impossible.
• When enemies threaten.
• When circumstances seem hopeless.
• When delays occur.
• When uncertainty arises.

How to refuse fear:

Say:

"I refuse fear. God is with me. God is for me. God is greater than this situation. I shall not be defeated."

HOW TO REJECT THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF FEAR

1. Repent of Doubt and Unbelief

2. Renounce Every Agreement with Fear

3. Declare God's Word Daily

4. Resist Fear in the Name of Jesus

5. Maintain a Lifestyle of Faith

6. Surround Yourself with Faith-Building Influences

FEAR CANNOT PRODUCE POSITIVE RESULTS

Fear:

• Cannot heal.
• Cannot solve problems.
• Cannot create opportunities.
• Cannot bring promotion.
• Cannot produce miracles.

Fear only magnifies problems.

Faith magnifies God.
