As the world gets ready to celebrate the scariest time of the year “Halloween.” A time when evil is celebrated, and instilling fear is the order of the day. Friends, whether you like it or not in life, fear will come knocking at the door, selling you the worst case scenario, the devil’s “trick or treat.“ Fear tells you, “You’re going to lose your job. Your marriage is over. Your business is falling apart. Your child is done. It’s all downhill from here.” When those thoughts come, you don’t have to buy in to them. Here’s the key: when fear knocks, let faith answer the door. Don’t give those thoughts of fear the time of day. Don’t let them intimidate you. Answer back with faith. “Lord, You said the number of my days You would fulfil. God, you said Your plans for me are for good and not evil. God, You said what’s meant for my harm, You would turn around and use it to my advantage.”
Today, don’t give in to the pressure of the world or the devil’s lies. Keep an attitude of faith and expectancy, it’s like keeping the door locked on an intruder. Fear has no right in the life of a believer. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Remember, the battle is subtle for you and your children’s minds. The enemy is after your thoughts. Don’t give him the time of day; and remember when fear knocks, let faith answer!
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, I thank You for Your Word which says that You have not given me a spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind. Today and always, I rebuke the evil spirit of compromise and fear, in Jesus’ name. I receive peace in my heart and mind and stand strong in faith knowing that the greater One lives in me than he that is in the world. Hallelujah! Father, I pray for great faith in my life today so that fear is driven out, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
