 Exercise Dominion Over Fear And Anxiety

Posted on August 19, 2012 by admin

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6).

The Word of God tells us to be anxious for nothing; that means to have no anxiety about anything. Rather, in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving you should make your requests known to God. The result of this is that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding shall garrison your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

God knows you could live without anxiety, panic-attacks and fear, that’s why He said for you not to fear or be anxious. So in exercising dominion over fear and anxiety you’ve got to have faith in God’s Word. Your heart must be stable in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving as you express your faith towards God. Fear is actually faith in the ability of the adversary to hurt you; faith in the ability of all that is negative to stand against you and defeat you! Thus to conquer Fear you have to have faith in the positives: faith in God’s Word, faith in His love for you, faith in His grace, power and ability to put you over in life!

The knowledge of God’s Word is very important if you must exercise dominion over fear and anxiety. This is because you can’t have faith in God’s Word if you don’t know the Word. Your faith grows with the knowledge of the Word. As faith is stirred in your spirit, fear is dispelled. Jesus said in John 8:32: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” God’s Word is the truth that delivers you from fear.

So it doesn’t matter in which area fear tries to attack you, refuse to fret! Find out the truth from God’s Word concerning the situation and stay your mind on that truth, refusing to be moved by any contrary or negative information. That is how to exercise dominion over fear and anxiety. Praise God!
