As many times as we’ve read about dealing with oppressive spirits, I’m surprised by my gut reaction to spiritual conflict: I still fight fear. Or, at least, being creeped out to an inordinate level…
The thing that got my attention was this, in the last
paragraph: When fear is controlling a
believer, the Spirit of God is not, and Satan has the upper hand. Fear of the enemy and faith in God are
mutually exclusive.
So apparently I have room to grow in my faith here…
Realizing that the outcome depends entirely on God goes a
long way towards boosting my confidence.
If I focus on myself, and what I might be doing wrong, I sink like Peter
in the sea when he took his eyes off of Jesus.
Do I trust? Yes; Lord, help my
unbelief.
