In Romans 5:1-2 it says: “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” If we give everything to Jesus we will have peace and that makes our relationship with God stronger causing our faith to grow. Faith can come by prayer, thanksgiving and with reading the Bible. It says in Romans 10:8-11 “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” When you pray close your eyes and listen to what Jesus says. Let him guide you through your day. Sometimes you might not hear anything and that is when you must have faith that God is there holding your hand and leading you through everything.

In Ephesians 6:10-18 it says: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints.” In order to be strong in the Lord and to fight the devil from his schemes it takes faith and we can only do that by listening to Jesus and obeying the word of God.

According to Galatians 3:13 Jesus has given us many weapons that are mighty and divine to use. These weapons are prayer, faith, the name of Jesus, and God’s word. Remember that when you let fear become a problem that you are sinning and going against what the bible says in Philippians 4:6-7. “Be careful for nothing; but with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. When you give your requests over to God have faith that he is working on them and have peace knowing that Christ is there guiding you and protecting you through everything.

When fear starts to attack instead of backing down like a coward and without faith, start using words of praise and thanksgiving. Satan trembles at the word of God so use the scriptures and say them out loud whenever you are afraid. If you are uncomfortable with saying the verses out loud start with reading them out loud to yourself whenever you are reading the Bible and after that you will start feeling confident with reading them out loud.

If you feel fear instead of letting it rule you what you must do is learn how to tell fear to go away through the name of Jesus. In the book of Mark chapter 16 and verses 17,18 it talks about the authority that we have when we say in the name of Jesus. In his name miracles can be done and demons will flee but it is only through the name of Jesus. Whenever you are feeling afraid next time just simply say out loud and with authority, “Fear, in the name of Jesus, Be Gone!!”.
