🖊️ COMMENTARY

So many people today are living with less than God's best because they've allowed fear to creep in and take root in their lives. Fear is the greatest weapon the enemy uses to try to hold us back. Fear is not from God. The Scripture tells us that fear brings torment. It is designed to paralyze us and keep us from God's blessings.

The good news is that God is greater than fear. His power in you is greater than any power that comes against you. But, in order to walk in His power, you have to close the door on the enemy. See, the enemy cant have access to your life unless you open a door and give him access

That's why we have to be careful about what we watch, what we listen to, what we read, and what we say. When we open ourselves to fear, we give the enemy opportunity.

If you've allowed fear to steal from you in any area of life, today you can be free, you can be finished with fear.

Conquering the enemy starts by making the choice to close the door on fear, and meditate on God's promises. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony!

Let His truth sink down into your heart. Declare it out of your mouth. Let Him set you free and lead you into victory as you close the door on fear!
Keep in mind that conquering fear is not a one-time decision or action. It is a daily choice to trust in God's power and promises instead of giving into fear. Surround yourself with positive influences and people who uplift and encourage you. Fill your mind with God's word and let it be the foundation of your thoughts and actions. As you continue to walk in faith, fear will lose its grip on your life, and you will experience the fullness of God's blessings. Remember, fear is not from God, but He has given us the power to overcome it through Him. So close the door on fear and open yourself up to all that God has for you!
Here are some practical steps you can take to help you close the door on fear:
Identify your fears - Take some time to think about what fears may be holding you back from experiencing God's best for your life. Write them down and bring them before God in prayer.
Replace fear with faith - Whenever a fearful thought comes into your mind, replace it with a promise from God's word. For example, if you're afraid of failure, meditate on Philippians 4:13 which says "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Surround yourself with positivity - Spend time with people who encourage and uplift you. Listen to music that inspires you and read books that fill your mind with hope and faith.
Take action - Sometimes the best way to conquer fear is to take action despite feeling afraid. Start small and gradually work your way up to bigger challenges.
Remember, closing the door on fear is not always easy, but it is possible through the power of God's love and grace in our lives. Trust Him, lean on Him, and let His truth guide you as you walk boldly into the future He has planned for you!
