My mind was in an intense battle to find peace as the enemy chucked terrifying thoughts into my fortress like grenades thrown on a battlefield. I often found myself ducking for cover and longing for solace. The trial was kicking my butt, and God was exposing my weakness. In the midst of my inner war, I remembered what King Solomon wrote: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe” (Proverbs 18:10). I felt God summoning me into His tower, and I had a deep conviction that He wanted to wash away my fears with His Word.

Most Christians only engage in spiritual warfare with the hope of either relieving present distress or attaining a normal existence. However, the purpose of all aspects of spirituality, warfare included, is to bring us into the image of Christ. Nothing, not worship nor warfare, neither love nor deliverance is truly attainable if we miss the most singular objective of our faith, christlikeness.

Whether it’s the fear of failing, the fear of rejection, or the fear of the unknown, we’ve all struggled with fear at various times in life, me included. Yes, confronting fear is one of our constant struggles on this side of eternity, but being controlled by fear doesn’t have to be. Throughout Scripture, the people of God were reminded to ‘fear not’ because God was with them. And God is with us today too. He doesn’t want fear to hold us back. He’s got our back

Stay in the word of God and stay focused on His love for us. The greatest trap of the enemy is to throw flaming darts of offense, and it is always partnered with hurt and betrayal from family and close friends. No matter your circumstance, choose the promises of God over your situation every time. Don’t get distracted by the evil occurring all around us, stand, fear not because God has not and will not abandon us.

Watchman Nee

Satan has in fact a plan against the saints of the Most High which is to wear them out. What is meant by this phrase, “wear out”? It has in it the idea of reducing a little this minute, then reducing a little further the next minute. Reduce a little today, reduce a little tomorrow. Thus the wearing out is almost imperceptible; nevertheless, it is a reducing. The wearing down is scarcely an activity of which one is conscious, yet the end result is that there is nothing left. He will take away your prayer life little by little, and cause you to trust God less and less and yourself more and more, a little at a time. He will make you feel somewhat cleverer than before. Step by step, you are misled to rely more on your own gift, and step by step your heart is enticed away from the Lord. Now, were Satan to strike the children of God with great force at one time, they would know exactly how to resist the enemy since they would immediately recognize his work. He uses the method of gradualism to wear down the people of God.

Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don’t wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. this is our work – to wake people up.
