Psalm 56:3 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. Faith and fear are developed exactly alike. Both are developed from hearing something. Faith comes from hearing God’s Word, or the Holy Spirit speaking to you. Fear comes from hearing Satan’s voice. Faith and fear are both released by words and actions. The one kind will always stop the other from working. You can NOT have great faith and great fear at the same time. Faith leaves when fear enters. Fear will also leave when faith enters. Satan can’t force you to do anything. His main tool is deception. He gives you a suggestion - you make it a choice. Satan is always helpless without deception, which produces fear. Remember fear is a temptation from the enemy, and the problem comes when we act on it. Overcome fear by filling your spirit with the promises of God, depending upon them to raise your level of faith. James 4:7 tells you resist the devil, and he will flee from you. God wants to help you, if you will let Him.
