Fear wants you to think that you're helpless - defeated. God, the Holy Spirit lives in you! You aren't helpless, you're dangerous!!!
Fear wants you, who carry the Holy Spirit (God, Himself) inside you, to think you are a victim, powerless and hopeless.
Are Christians Satan’s victims? I'm laughing!! That's funny. But we buy into the lie that we are victims at times. I have. More than a few times. God Himself, God, the Holy Spirit, lives in you. You aren’t helpless. You’re dangerous.
1 John 4:4 EXB
·God’s Spirit, who is in you, is greater than the devil, who is in the world
You are no more a victim than Samson was a weakling. Samson lost his strength only when he wandered away from God. The same is true for us.
Jesus said: "apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5.
But Paul reassured us: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 2:13 NKJV
Fear want to keep you from running to God – your proper response when adversity slams into your life. Fear rules the minds and hearts of those separated from God. When adversity comes, and it will, you can wait, trembling in fear or you can go to God by faith and watch fear slink away in defeat.
