Episode 081-Straitjacket of Fear

God designed the acute stress response to help us overcome fear. This fight or flight response to happens whether we are actually in danger or we just think we are in danger.\\xa0

The definition of fear is \\u201can unpleasant emotion caused by being aware of danger.\\u201d This definition doesn\\u2019t take into account that the evil one loves to make false evidence appear real. These are irrational fears. That\\u2019s why God gives us things to help guide us through this and result in us becoming more rational.

2 Timothy 1:7 AMP says, \\u201cGod did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but He has given us a spirit of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline, abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control.\\u201d\\xa0\\xa0

In this podcast episode we are talking about how to get rid of irrational fears that the enemy loves to perpetuate. These fears can become strongholds that keep us stuck in the straitjacket of fear.\\xa0

God gives us some tools to combat the enemy\\u2019s barrage of fears.\\xa0 Here are steps to get rid of fear:

-Recognize the lies and irrational fears the enemy tells you.

-Call him out on them by replacing the lies with the truth of what God\\u2019s Word says about you.\\xa0

-Ask God to activate the spirit of power, love, sound judgment and personal discipline.

-Begin to accept that you have a calm, well-balanced mind.

-Make daily surrender to God a top priority.

-Understand the value of having Spirit-led self-control.

-Remember to rest in God. It\\u2019s in resting in Him that fear loses and love wins.\\xa0
