Whenever you feel fear rising in your heart, know that it is not of God and do not welcome it. The enemy crosses the boundary lines when he releases fear on the people of God; you ought to return it to him. Fear does not have the right to torment or terrorise you, and you should not give him the right of passage to you. Instead, conquer him by declaring the Word of God against it, and he will flee from you. Otherwise, he will go the extra mile and overstep his boundaries.

What are you afraid of? What keeps you up late at night and keeps you turning in your bed? What is that thing that has kept you in fear and held you in bondage for this long? You are a child of the living God, and fear should not have a hold on you. God is your light and salvation (Psalm 27:1). Fear should not cripple you. Christ in you is greater than the fears in your heart (1 John 4:4). You do not have to be afraid of anything.

Imagine if Noah had allowed the fear of impending doom to cripple him from planning for his future after the flood. He would not have been able to listen and yield to God’s instructions to build an ark. He and his household would have perished in flood, and nobody else on earth today would have had the chance to live on earth.

This story tells us that God will protect his own when there is an impending doom on earth. He will instruct them on what to do and help them plan ahead.
