Spiritual Warfare

Fear is born of Satan, and if we would only take time to think a moment we would see that everything Satan says is founded upon a falsehood. He is the father of lies. Even his fears are falsehoods and his terrors ought to serve as encouragements. When Satan tells you, therefore, that some ill is going to come, you may quietly look in his face and tell him he is a liar. Instead of ill, goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. And then turn to your blessed Lord and say, What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee (Psalm 56:3). Every fear is distrust, and trust is the remedy for fear.

When the enemy rages and attempts to trample upon your territory, remember that God has not called you to be defeated by the tactics of the enemy. God wants you to win. God will fight for you – if you let Him. When you take your hands off and allow God to put His hands on your situation, He will fight your battle. This battle belongs to The Lord. With God, you will not be defeated. Don’t try to fight the battle alone – God is with you, engage His Army. When God is for you, who can stand against you? No one. God is your Battle Ax. God is your Shield. God is your Provider. God is your Protector. Trust Him. Trust that He’s got you every step of the way.

Fear is a crazy thing. It can paralyze you and prevent you from moving into Gods best for you. Many people don’t realize the fear present in their heart because they have grown so accustomed to living with it. Fear of man, fear of failure, fear of not measuring up and so on. But the opposite takes place when you can condition your heart to fear nothing but God. When the fear of the Lord is the only thing in your heart you are no longer paralyzed but empowered. Empowered to fear no man, fear no failure and empowered to see yourself the way the Father sees you which is holy and complete. Fight to get all the unhealthy fear out of your heart today.

Fear is one of Satan’s primary schemes for crippling God’s people. I’m not talking about legitimate concern. I’m not talking about the protective warnings of wisdom and godly counsel. I’m talking about fear. Incessant worry. Up-all-night anxiety. Worst-case scenarios becoming the only probabilities you can think about. Fears like these, instead of simply raising our blood pressure, ought to set off some fire alarms. Why am I feeling so paralyzed like this? We clearly know from Scripture that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7 NKJV). So whenever you sense a “spirit of fear” invading any particular area of your life, you can know by process of elimination that it’s not coming from God.

Beloved, I say, let your fears go, lest they make you fainthearted. Stop inspiring fear in those around you and now take your stand in faith. God has been good and He will continue to manifest His goodness. Let us approach these days expecting to see the goodness of the Lord manifest. Let us be strong and of good courage, for the Lord will fight for us if we stand in faith.

It is not that God is slow to act, or that we are trying to persuade God (for prayer is laying hold of His highest willingness). Prayer requires persistence because it is also an act of warfare against ‘the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms’ (Eph. 6:12). Such prayer reverses the Fall, in which Adam asserted his independence. In it, we say, ‘Not my will, but yours be done.’ We fight with God to liberate enemy-occupied territory, knowing that while the victory is certain, the length of the battle is not.
