Overcoming ALL fears


Overcoming All Fears


By Dr. Robert Schuller



"God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." - 2 Timothy 1:7


When you and I have yielded ourselves to God, and He has wiped the slate clean, does this mean we will never face fear again? Of course not, but God's promise to the believer is that we can overcome all fear through the power of His love and faith.


Where does fear come from? Not from God! But from the source of all universal negativity - the devil. Philosophically we refer to this source as evil.


Neurotic fear that destroys your creative and constructive planning and productivity does not come from God! "God has not given us a spirit of fear" (2 Tim. 1:7); rather God empowers you with a healthy mind.


How do you overcome fear that encircles you? Read today's Bible verse over again and again. Draw close to God in prayer. Ask Him to possess you with His Spirit of confidence, courage, conviction!


Under the leadership and lordship of Jesus Christ, command that negative thought, that destructive emotion, to get out of your life!


Call upon almighty God to fill your mind and mood with healthy thoughts, loving emotions, and powerful motivations. God will answer your prayer! You will overcome your fears! For God is more powerful than any negative thought.


Thank You, Father, for being so good to me. Thank You for coming into my life to remove all my fear. Thank You for filling me with this kind of faith.
