Read : Hebrews 2:14-18
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7
The madman of Gadara was led by demons to roam through lonely mountains and graveyards. This frightening scenario made the poor man cry constantly. You can see from this that demons love to frighten their victims. Fear is a pervading sign of the presence of demons (Mark 5:5).
In my opinion, the commonest sign of demon activity is fear. The pervading presence of demons is most easily noticed by the presence of fear. Most kinds of fear are of demonic origin! Through fear, Satan is able to keep most people in bondage.
When fear gets a hold of you, you become immobilized and unable to do the things God tells you to do. Fear takes away strength! “What about if it doesn’t work? What about if she dies? What about if he gets cancer? What about if she is barren?” There are many things to fear. These fears paralyze you and make you unable to do the will of God. Go in the opposite direction to where fear is leading you. That is how to overcome fear. Do the opposite of your fears. I know that fear is an evil spirit. I must not be controlled by evil spirits!
Traditionally, fear has not been labelled as a very evil thing. It is seen more as a weakness that some are prone to. Do not be deceived dear friend; fear is one of the highest kinds of demonic attacks anyone can experience. Fear has the power to change completely the course of your life if you allow it. May the power of God set you free from every evil spirit of fear!
