      Conquering Fear - Daniel Kolenda

      GETTING STRONGER!

      We are living in remarkable times. The entire world is gripped by fear and uncertainty. I don’t know all the answers, but there are some things we can know for sure. As children of God we have access to a peace that passes understanding – that is, it is not natural or carnal. It is supernatural, surpassing what the mind and intellect can comprehend. That is important because what we need right now is not more information – we are always being bombarded with news. What we need is something that goes straight into the core of our being and fortifies us from within. That is what the Word of God does. In this book, over the next 60 days, I am going to bombard your heart and mind with timeless, unchangeable truth from God’s Word that will act like a heavenly vaccine, inoculating you against fear, anxiety and worry.

      Some people begin to waver in times like these. Some question God, His Word, His love and His faithfulness. But this is the time we need to cling to Him as never before. I remember an exchange Reinhard Bonnke once had with a man who was sick and suffering. The man said he was having a crisis of faith. Reinhard said, My brother, when you are drowning, that is the worst time to let go of the lifeline. If you are struggling, grab a hold of God’s Word and His truth with all your might – it is your lifeline!

      Jesus says in John 10:10, The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

      The Lord made a clear contrast between His mission and the devil’s mission. Satan’s plans for us are in complete opposition to God’s plans for us! It is paramount we believe this foundational truth: Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly!

      We see the declarations of His love for mankind all over the Scriptures, both in His words and in His actions – and most profoundly, when He laid down His life for us on the cross. Jesus loves us! He is for us! He gave us His word as our solid rock to stand on, so that when the thief comes to attack, we can stand in unwavering trust on God’s faithful promises. Often, what makes people susceptible to an attack of the enemy, is the onset of doubt and unbelief in the goodness of God and the truth of His word. Immunity, on the other hand, is the lack of susceptibility, especially to something unwelcome or harmful. Satan knows He has no legal right to steal, kill, and destroy you, unless he can persuade you to hand over to him your God-given power and authority as sons and daughters of God. The devil plots and schemes to deceive the masses by planting false accusations, twisting the truth, and most often, by employing fear tactics. He uses fear because it tends to work so well on the wavering. Ultimately, those who succumb to unbelief help him accomplish his mission. Once Satan has convinced a person to misplace their trust in the Lord, then they become susceptible to the contagions of fear, doubt, and unbelief. The way to become immune to these attacks from the enemy, is to hold fast in unwavering faith in Jesus and his word. In the days ahead, we are going to press into the truth, so that we can stand firm against all attacks, securely fortified in the victory we have in Jesus!

      When a person is exposed to a pathogen and they survive, their bodies learn how to fight that contagion and they become immune to it from then on. This is where we get the old cliché, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I believe it is very similar with our spirits. As we go through life, overcoming trials and difficulties, emerging victorious, walking hand-in-hand with Jesus, we become stronger, spiritually tougher and more resilient in faith. That is why a difficult, challenging season is so important. It can be a training ground for the more significant battles to come in the future. Jeremiah asked, If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? (Jer. 12:5)

      Join me for the next 60-days as we confront the pathogen of fear head on and eradicate it with the antidote of God’s Word. May God use this season in all of our lives to build unwavering trust in our hearts for Him as never before.

      IT IS WRITTEN!

      Do you ever notice that sometimes it seems as if you’re on a spiritual high? You’re tangibly feeling the presence of God, receiving fresh revelation, the anointing is flowing like oil, and you’re clearly hearing the Lord speaking to your spirit. Then other times, it seems as though the heavens are brass, the oil has run dry, and if the anointing is there – you certainly can’t tell! You didn’t get a single goose bump during praise and worship. Not one tear dropped, not one hair raised.

      During those moments when the thrills of His glory have lifted, and you find yourself in a spiritual valley, you may be tempted to question what you encountered when you were on the mountaintop. You may be tempted by the devil to fear that what you experienced previously wasn’t real. You see, if we base our faith in our feelings, then our faith will fluctuate whenever they do.

      When Satan came to tempt Jesus in the desert (Matthew 4:111) he said, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread. The word, if is so subtle and so small, yet such a huge stumbling block to many, because in that one little word, one’s entire belief system can be shaken. This is why we must follow the Lord’s example and refuse to rely on our feelings or current experiences, especially when facing the temptation of doubt.

      Jesus responded, It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ (Matthew 4:4) Every time Jesus responded to the devil, He said, It is written… Jesus stood on the word of God, and we must do the same. It’s our sure foundation! It doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, or what the ‘ifs’ are, or how we are feeling in any given moment – the word of God must have the final say in every season of our lives.

      The following is a list of scriptures that I would encourage you to read aloud and to confess over yourself and your family. Read them again and again until you sense faith and courage arising in your heart. This was the ammunition Jesus used against Satan in the wilderness (it is written) and it will be your strength as well:

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:19).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      He will call on me, and I will answer him (Ps. 91:15).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      The one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward (Prov. 11:18).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? (Matt. 6:30).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you (Luke 10:19).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      No harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent (Ps. 91:10).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all (Ps. 34:19).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up (Jas. 5:15).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      Cast your cares on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken (Ps. 55:22).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them (Ps. 34:7).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      Commit you way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this (Ps. 37:5).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children (Ps. 113:9).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      His mercy endures forever (Ps. 136:1).

      IT IS WRITTEN:

      We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Cor. 4:8–9).

      THE VICTORY THAT HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD!

      The Bible says, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

      This scripture makes it clear that the spirit of fear is not from God. When danger threatens us, fear tries to latch onto us. Even our body chemistry changes when we sense impending disaster, when our circumstances are doom and gloom, or when pain becomes overwhelming, and our natural response is to be alarmed and fearful.

      So, what does a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind do in the face of fear? It removes fear’s death grip that tries to paralyze us. Fear can come, but it cannot bind those who belong to the Lord because we are overcomers!

      For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith. (1 John 5:4)

      Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 40:10)

      Jesus said, Do not be afraid; only believe (Luke 8:50).
