Fear not, the author of life is in you.
As citizens of heaven, we have the nature of a fearless lion, so we should walk the streets of life with boldness. There is a difference between being prideful and being bold. The Lord expects us to approach life with confidence, courage, and fearlessly possess what belongs to us. We are too loaded to fail or to be victimized. Jesus defeated the enemy over 2000 years ago, so we are victors.
The Scripture says we should come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), so we should be bold and not give up.
We have the nature of Christ, and if Christ is in us, then we have an added advantage; therefore, we should stop weeping, murmuring, and complaining, the lion of the tribe of Judah is in us, the root of David has prevailed.
Scripture says And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Revelation 5:5.
Christ has prevailed over sin and its consequences; therefore, we are not sinners, but saints, because we have the nature of Christ in us, which is the righteousness of Christ. When we focus on the nature of Christ’s righteousness within us, it empowers us to be bold. We should have a righteous consciousness.
Scripture says For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. II Corinthians 5:21.
The reason we continue to exhibit our old behavior, character, and nature is that we have our focus on it. However, if we shift our focus to Christ’s righteousness consciousness, then we express righteousness.
Fear is attracted to sinful consciousness, and we become fearful as a result. Sin consciousness is the nature of the devil and not the nature of Christ.
Righteousness is not a behavioral lifestyle, but a reflection of our personality that we receive through the nature of new birth.
God loves us because of Christ; the Lord has accepted us because of Christ; we are alive because of Christ. We are blessed and wealthy because of Christ in us.
Scripture says The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1.
The wicked are those who rejected Christ; they are not sure of their tomorrow, and they are constantly afraid.
Scripture says You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. You killed the author of life, but God raised Him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. Acts 3:14-15.
As Christians, the author of life is in us, so we should fear not. Fear is from the devil, so we should resist it because God did not give us the spirit of Fear, but he gave us the spirit of love, power, and a sound mind to keep Fear away from us. Therefore, fear not.
If we have accepted Christ Jesus, therefore, Fear Not – the challenges of life will not defeat us because we have the author of life within us. Sickness cannot defeat us because we have the author of life in us. The word of God is Spirit and life, and it cannot fail, so let us receive the word and personalize the word of God to our lives so that we can walk in the reality of the word.
The Scripture says On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.” John 14:20.
Christ is in His Father, and we are in Him, and Christ is in us. For us to be killed, then God and Christ have to be killed before they can get to us.
We activate the word by voicing it with our mouth, so it becomes a reality in us. We speak the word and believe the word; then we become the word as we act upon it.
Christianity is not only about attending church, but it also involves speaking and acting in accordance with the word of God. It’s agreeing with God and His word; it’s about our relationship and aligning ourselves with God.
Fear is our faith in the negative; it means we trust what we are afraid of. To overcome Fear, we need to switch our focus from the negative to the author of life within us, and this is achieved by accepting Christ into our lives.
The Scripture says And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” [12] Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:11-12.
Tools to keep Fear away from us:
- Understanding our identity in Christ – Luke 10:19
- The knowledge of God’s love for us – 1 John 3:1
- Becoming conscious of Christ’s mind in us – 1Corianthians 2:16
- Knowledge of our righteousness – 2 Corinthians 5:21
Salvation Prayer:
Lord Jesus. I confess my sin. I accept you into my life. Thank you for saving me. Now I know. I’m born again. I’m forgiven, and I have eternal life within me. Amen.
Congratulation! Now that you have accepted Christ, we should set our minds on Christ and things above, rather than on earthly things, and it will eliminate all Fear.
The Scripture says, “Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [2] Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. [3] For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3.
We should become kingdom-minded and focus on the kingdom of God. All we need to overcome Fear is already in us, and that is the author of life.
What next? We recommend these materials to you: Now that you are in Christ.
