Here is a message from Joyce Meyer, which is titled “Facing Fear and Finding Freedom.”
Pastor Joyce teaches us in this message that we can’t be free from fear if we don’t recognize it and learn how to deal with it. When you recognize fear, you have to confront it, because one thing about fear is that you can’t run from it. Fear and love want to chase you and watch you run, but God wants us to confront things and deal with them knowing that he’s with us. We have to know that with God we can do anything, anytime, anywhere, that we need to do. We don’t have to fear anything because God is with us every day of our lives, and that is precious. God doesn’t just live in the church building; you are the church and temple, so God lives in you.
Fear means “to run from.” Fear can cause us to shrink back and not do or say what we know we’re supposed to do or say. Just because you don’t like something does not mean you should not do it. Some of us are afraid of confrontation, which is why we need the Holy Spirit within us to show us what to do. The Holy Spirit will make us follow him courageously.
Courage means “doing it despite being afraid.” It’s “doing what you know you should do even though you might feel afraid. If you think you’re going to have a time in your life where you will never experience fear, you are mistaken. You will feel fear at different times in your life until you’re no longer in a human body because that’s the devil’s number one weapon that he uses against God’s children. The Devil loves to use fear to keep the Children of God from their God-ordained destiny; don’t back off from your dream and allow the Holy Spirit to motivate you.
Let’s not get over here on this side of life and live with regrets. We have to live by faith. The devil has plenty of fear, and it’s like poison, but God has given us an antidote for fear, and it’s called FAITH. When fear knocks at your door and faith answers, God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind. We are to live by faith every day of our lives, not just when we are in a bad situation, unless good things happen to you.
