I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR (PART 3)

I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR (PART 3)

Life is a battlefield and everyone that is living is called to fight; a fight which is not against flesh and blood, but against wicked spirits. Eph.6:12. The ones we have to fight are spirits, and one of the requirements to fight is “confidence.” Outside of confidence, you can’t fight and win. This is not confidence in man, self or Satan but in God.

Joseph was a man that feared God and confident in Him. God gave him the interpretation of the kings’ dream. Gen.41:14-16, 38-44. David had to fight against Goliath. He boasted in the Lord because he was confident and God brought Goliath down through him.

There is one major enemy of confidence and that is fear. You can’t be confident and at the same time fearful. It’s either you are confident or fearful. Fear robs you of what belongs to you. Some people have fear of death, fear of accident, fear of failure, fear of barrenness and fear of the unknown. Fear is a strong weapon in the hand of the devil, our enemy and you need to handle it.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT FEAR

1.Fear is a spirit. When you are given to fear, know there is a negative spirit at work. 2Tim.1:7.

2.Fear is not from God, it is from the devil.

3.Fear robs you of your blessings. It takes from you what God has given you or what belongs to you. Job was mightily blessed but lost everything because of fear. Job3:25. Whatever you fear has a potential of coming into effect or being in your life. Everyone fearful always have a feeling that there is no safety or security.

4.Fear brings torment. Torment connotes punishment. 1Jn.4:18.

5.Fear brings failure or defeat. Deut.20:1, 8. You must have confidence against your enemy because confidence has reward.
