Around every corner, behind every bush, in every shadow or passing thought, fear - anxiety about something or someone - always seems to be lurking. It can be something as simple as stepping onto the scales to weigh yourself or getting the kids off to school in one piece. It can be as life-altering as waiting for a medical test result or opening another past-due bill.
How does fear typically try to intimidate you? What sets you on edge during the day or keeps you awake at night? Whatever it is, you don’t have to be held hostage to the fear of anything or anyone, any longer. No, there’s good news: You can literally talk your way out of fear by focusing on Confessing Your Freedom In Christ.
Jesus had a message of hope to the believers of His day: “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32).
God’s Word is truth; and it not only delivers us from fear, but it also builds within us courage and strength (Joshua 1:7-9). There is a catch, however, to enjoying this freedom Jesus promised. He went on to warn those listening to Him that day, those who didn’t believe Him – who didn’t believe the truth, didn’t believe God’s Word: “There’s no room in your hearts for my message” (John 8:37).
In other words, we have to “make room” in our hearts and in our lives for God’s Word. We have to make room for Jesus’ message of freedom. So, if you’re ready to stop the fear and start your life of freedom, you can begin by off-loading your greatest nightmares by Confessing Your Freedom In Christ.
- God’s Word has made me free from all fear (John 8:32).
- The Son – Jesus and God’s Word – sets me free, therefore, I am truly free from all fear (John 8:36).
- I stand fast in my freedom in Christ and refuse to be entangled again with any yoke of fear (Galatians 5:1).
- Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom; and the Spirit is in me, therefore freedom from all fear is in me (2 Corinthians 3:17).
- I am called to live in freedom…and I do not slip back into my old ways of living in fear (Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 1:13-15).
- I walk in freedom from all fear because I have devoted myself to God’s Word (Psalm 119:45).
- I acknowledge Jesus as my Saviour and devote myself to Him (God’s Word), therefore I am cleared and freed (from all fear) which I could not be justified and freed from by the Law (Acts 13:38-39, AMPC).
- I am free from the power of fear; I’m no longer its slave. Rather, I’m a slave of God’s and only do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life (Romans 6:22; 1 Peter 2:16).
- I do not walk according to fear, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin, death and all fear (Romans 8:1-2).
- I receive the good news of my deliverance from all bondage in the Anointed One, Jesus, and in His Anointing, which includes no more oppression by fear (Luke 4:18).
Confessing Your Freedom In Christ can be the start of you getting out from under fear’s oppression. Make room for Jesus’ message of freedom – and eliminate all possible room for fear!
