The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. Proverbs 29.25

The Lord orders us not to fear and He explains why. We should not fear anything because He helps us, strengthens us, and sustains us with His power. Therefore, since we have the divine orientation that drives away all our fears, we do not have to refuse to fight any battle that is presented to us. Having the Omnipotent at our side, we can come and go smiling and leaping with joy, for our victory will be certain and complete.

The devil knows what fear, cowardice, and similar feelings can do to our hearts, so that is why he strives to make us filled with them. As a result, there are Christians who bow before the lies of the evil one, bringing to the Kingdom of God sadness and shame. How can there be even one case in which the saved ones are defeated if Jesus has already conquered the victory for us? Do not believe in anything that the adversary tells you.

Even knowing that the sins that are confessed do not exist any longer, we are afraid that they might separate us from God, and therefore, we do not fight with all our strength. Now, this is what the enemy desires, for if we act in such a way, we remain subject to complete defeat. The Scriptures declares that, in all these things, we are more than conquerors (Rm 8.37). Thus, there is no way how our faith in Jesus can lose any battle.

The fear of man brings a snare. There are not few that do not manage to walk in the good works prepared by the Lord, since they are held captive to the snares that are armed by their own fears. See what holds you and loosen yourself from these snares, believing in what the Omnipotent tells you about your life. You have been prepared to be victorious at all times. When the Christian is baptized in the Holy Spirit, he receives the power of God.

Whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe. The position that we have in Jesus is unreachable by the enemy. We are in a spiritual place where the forces of darkness are never able to reach us. Thus, we can confess that we will never be subdued. While we are in the faith in Jesus, no evil will happen to us or will subdue us. The only way to be in the victorious side is to give the Word of God the command of our lives.

It is your decision. If you let fear enter your heart, you will not reach anywhere at all. If you firm yourself in the eternal Rock, you will not be shaken, you will not be visited by the power of evil, and you will be victorious always. See how you have lived, and as you discover that you have let any fear dominate you, repent yourself, ask the Lord for forgiveness, and afterwards, assume your place in the Son of God.

Being so, what will you do? You can be free or dominated, sick or healthy, in misery or in prosperity. Your attitude is all that counts. If you let the enemy fill you with fear, you will always live being dominated by the evil snares. However, if you accept the words of Jesus in your life, you will be victorious. What is your decision?

In Christ, with love,
