Fear is a powerful emotion, but it's more than that; it's a spiritual force that the devil uses to try and rob us of our victory in Christ. Whether you're dealing with a small nagging fear or an overwhelming presence of panic and anxiety, we can help you.

First, hear and obey these two words. This is a command to you from the Holy Spirit right now: DON'T PANIC!

Obey those words right now and refuse to panic. As you obey and keep reading, the peace of God will begin to flood your mind and heart.

The way to deal with fear is not to run from it, but to look at it in the face and resist it, refusing to yield to it. That will take some faith but you can do it, and you must do it.

Did you know that God's Word actually forbids us to yield to fear when it comes? Notice in your Bible how many times the phrase "fear not" occurs. You may think you couldn't possibly be free from fear but the Bible says that we've been made sons of God so we would never again be slaves to fear (see Romans 8:15). As you learn to resist fear, it will help you to say things like, "I'm not afraid. I refuse to fear. I am a God-pleaser and God is pleased with faith, not fear."

Panic attacks are not God's plan for your life. Anxiety disorders are not from God. God has given us many promises in His Word that assure us of our victory. David wrote in the Psalms, "I looked to the LORD, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of" (Psalm 34:4).

Again, in the Twenty-Third Psalm we read, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid. You are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff comfort me" (Psalm 23:4).

When God is your help, there are many reasons not to be afraid. Here are just a few of those reasons.

1.

He's with you. Psalm 23 said, "I will not be afraid. You are with me." The presence of the Almighty is not only a comfort to us, it is a force that surrounds us that the enemy cannot penetrate. Read Psalm 91 and you'll be convinced that you're safe because He's with you.
