Defeat Fear and Worry! 

Something wonderful should be happening as we continue on in our spiritual journey! We should be experiencing more peace and joy and less worry and fear. I think that at least half of the people that ask for prayer are worried or fearful. Both of these things are tools of the enemy, they rob us of peace and joy. We can confess these things and receive prayer and for a time have peace, usually in a short time the worry and fear return.

There is an answer to this problem of going in and out of fear and worry. The answer to this problem, or better still the victory over fear and worry is our faith. When we are worried and fearful our faith is not active. Faith is a substance that needs to be applied to each situation. When we apply faith in a situation where worry and fear have appeared, worry and fear disappear. Faith and fear and worry cannot be in the same place at the same time.

We learned that to free a person from fear and worry, all we had to do was stir up the faith in that person. When their faith became active they were instantly free.

Each one of us must learn to stir up and keep active our own faith, that is our victory. Fears and worry are always waiting for the opportunity to attack our mind and emotions as different events crop up in our daily life. If fear and worry are able to grab you it is a sure sign your faith is not active in that area.
