How to Destroy Fear

Destroying Fear by the act of Giving

If you are looking for a way to breakdown and rid yourself of the anxiety and stress of fear, Elohim (GOD) gives us the solution for fear, anxiety and stress in His word.   

For what does it mean that “perfect love casts out fear…”  The Word of Elohim tells us that:

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)”

Why?

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

But what exactly does that mean?  a closer examination of “power, love and a sound mind” reveals to us ELOHIM’s promise to remove tormenting fear from our mind, heart, spirit and soul.   

ELOHIM gives us power - “supernatural power” infused with the might and Godly wisdom of the Holy Spirit.  We literally have access to the supernatural power of ELOHIM – and there is no one or nothing that can successfully stand and oppose ELOHIM.  Once we believe and allow this to get into our spirits, we begin to gain the victory over fear.  So who will and who should ask for Godly wisdom which He has promised to give freely to all who ask?   None other than a child of El Elyon – the Most High GOD.  For those of us who have received the covenant of salvation through Yeshua’s death and resurrection, we of all people should be the ones who recognize that ELOHIM (Creator & Judge) alone is holy and sovereign.  So why turn or go anywhere else for answers?    Truly there is nothing wiser than to be more than a conqueror over the fears and intimidations of the adversary Satan and those who serve him.

We see ELOHIM’s giving in effect again as we see the power of His unconditional love (agape) poured out on all mankind through Yeshua the Messiah who died for us.  For ELOHIM so loved us that He GaVE His most loved – His Son, Yeshua to die for us just so we could have a relationship with Him!    ELOHIM’s giving should inspire our thanksgiving.  If it doesn't that's the first sign that we are out of order and are in dire need of acknowledging our sin of selfishness (from a place of brokeness);  asking for forgiveness and godly sorrow that we might repent and turn from our wicked way. 

We need to remember to draw upon this great treasure we have in our “earthen vessels” (ourselves) given to us by ELOHIM through Yeshua.  Romans 5:1-10 confirms this truth to us:

5 Therefore, having been declared right by belief, we have peace with Elohim through our Master Messiah, ²through whom also we have access by belief into this favor in which we stand, and we exult in the expectation of the esteem of Elohim. ³And not only this, but we also exult in pressures, knowing that pressure works endurance; ⁴and endurance, approvedness; and approvedness, expectation. ⁵And expectation does not disappoint, because the love of Elohim has been poured out in our hearts by the Set-apart Spirit which was given to us. ⁶For when we were still weak, Messiah in due time died for the wicked. ⁷For one shall hardly die for a righteous one, though possibly for a good one some- one would even have the courage to die. ⁸But Elohim proves His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Messiah died for us. ⁹Much more then, having now been declared right by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. ¹⁰For if, being enemies, we were restored to favor with Elohim through the death of His Son, much more, having been restored to favor, we shall be saved by His life. ¹¹And not only this, but we also exult in Elohim through our Master Messiah, through whom we have now received the restoration to favor.

ELOHIM gives to us again when He gives us a “sound mind.”  When we have a sound mind we are in our right mind.   How can anyone have a sound/sane mind apart from truth?  Is there any real truth apart from the knowledge of the Creator and Righteous Judge?  YHWH’s promise to give us His perfect and perfecting Shalom (peace) to those who keep their minds "trained/disciplined" to focus on Him the problem solver, instead of the problems is an absolute truth when believed and applied. Selah.
