Finally, brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 

The strongman over you has caused you to receive the spirit of fear.  You fear poverty and become poor; you fear rejection of men and become so weak in spirit that you are rejected. You fear judgement of men and pull back from the mighty power of my Spirit and are judged of your own conscience and of God. You fear sickness and death and cease to live. You fear the evil one and are overcome. But I have not given you a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind in the Holy Ghost.

 

You fear because you do not trust me, you do not know me, and you do not understand who I am and who you are in Christ.  You fear the lies of Satan more than you fear Me.

 

I am God. I am your father. I created you in our own likeness.  I redeemed you from the sickness, death and poverty brought on by your own inability to obey my laws.  I gave you my only son so that you might have life.

 

I gave you life and joy without end, you gave it away to the devil.  I gave you Jesus my son to restore life and joy. I gave you ability to do all things through Christ. I gave you all authority and dominion in earth through and in Christ.

 

Do not listen to the spirit of fear. He lies because his father is a liar. Instead take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Do not fear, but be strong and of good courage for my sake, for your sake, and for the people's sake. If God be for you, who can be against you?

 

Look not to men for leadership, but look to me.  If you will humble yourselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from your wicked ways, I will give you good leadership.  Look to me and I will lead you by My Spirit and by those whom I appoint to lead you.  Look to men for leadership and I will destroy both the leader and the congregation, for you are my bride and no man shall steal you away from me.
