EMPOWER HER BLOG: Tell Fear Bye With This Verse!

The next time you feel fearful I want you to remember fear is a spirit and a spirit that is not from God!

2 Timothy 1:7 states, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

There have been times where like you, I too, have felt afraid.

Circumstances or situations that were beyond my control caused me to be paralyzed.

Then, I realized, "Wait, I am a child of God!"

God's word in 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "God does not give me the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound-mind."

Since God gives me those things, I can simply ask Him how to use those things to overcome the thing that is making me feel fearful!

Friend, when God showed me how to have power, love, and a sound-mind I have and continue to conquer fear!

God gives me power.

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21 NIV

Through this verse, God showed me my words are powerful!

When I feel afraid, I can simply speak God's truth over fear. Meaning, I can say out loud,

"Fear is a spirit and spirit that is not from God. God has not given me a spirit of fear, but power, love, and a sound mind! Right now, I feel fear, but fear you have to leave in the name of Jesus. And, I believe by faith that God is giving me all I need!"

God gives me love.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 NIV

Because you and I are children of God, we have to remember the love He give us everyday, Jesus!

We have access to Jesus 24/7. The Bible let us know Jesus is exalted above all! (Philippians 2:9) Meaning, there is nothing greater than Jesus, even fear. Therefore, when I feel fear, sometimes I simply keep saying "Jesus" and fear leaves me!

God's word gives me a sound-mind.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.”-Psalms‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Being intentional to read God's word grows a sound-mind!

Friend, being mindful of what I watch, read, or listen to has helped my mind to grow stronger. Whenever fear comes, I can immediately identify what is from God and what is not from God because I spend time with God through His word, The Bible. And, you can do the same thing. Honey Bunches❤️
