Fighting Fear is a Spiritual Battle

January 31, 2023 By Yolanda Gray Leave a Comment

Recently, I woke up with these words: “Move forward, unafraid.”

I went to Isaiah 41:10 and these words jumped out, “Fear not!”

Then I opened my devotional for the daily reading, and there it was, “Move forward, unafraid!”

I know this word was for me, but not only for me.

Fear is a spirit instilled in us from the devil to keep us from moving out into an abundant, purpose-filled, and power-filled life.

Fear unhealed can look like procrastination, lack of motivation, and low-grade sadness, causing doubt and despair.

Fear is probably one of the single biggest obstacles to peace, joy, and all that Jesus died to give us.

Getting rid of fear doesn’t mean “feel the fear and do it anyway.”

As Christians, we are not to be in fear.

My dear sister in Christ reminded me that God’s “perfect love casts out fear.” (1 John 4:18). We lean into the word—the truth. Our Father loves us. We tell the Truth to the lie.

“Fear not,” God said, “I am with you, I will strengthen you, I’ll help you, I’ve got you.” (my paraphrase) Isaiah 41:10

When fear arises, we tell it to go until peace comes.

Oftentimes we may have been “out there” on our own trying to control everything and everyone, fearful that things won’t go our way.  This is sin; we can get to the root, repent and get right with the Lord again.

Our transformation from overcoming fear changes EVERYTHING!

I know. I’ve been delivered from panic attacks caused by incapacitating fear I lived with for years.

Remember, “God has not given us a spirit of fear.” So, you know where it comes from.

Cast it out!

Don’t spend another day in fear.

If you struggle with debilitating fear, worry, and overwhelm, reach out, get help, get free.

Hi, thanks for being here.

Are you looking at your life with more years behind you than in front of you? Is retirement, divorce or other major life change causing you to question, “What’s next?”

God isn’t finished with you yet. No matter how old you are. If you’re not in heaven yet, then you have His promise of flourishing into your old age! (Psalm 92:12-14)

He has equipped us with irrevocable gifts and a calling that doesn’t end in our sage years. (Romans 11:29)

My life’s mission is to guide the Christian woman in mid-life and beyond who is wondering “what’s next for me” design a plan for living that will align her heart with God’s plan and discover meaning and fulfillment in her later years.

It is never too late to Take Back Your Life for the one God created you for!

“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19
