Fear Of Evil Or Faith In God-What Do You Have?

Are you afraid of COVID-19 or do you have faith in God that it won't affect you? Surely, you either have fear or faith in God at this time. And what you have determines what comes to you. So, in this post we will be examining these two emotions to determine what you have.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love - 1 John 4:18 (KJV).

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes - Mark 9:23 (NKJV).

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV).

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God - Mark 11:22 (NKJV).

The fear of this virus, which is actually fear of death, has taken hold of people that many Christians have even forgotten who they are in Christ and what God promised them in the scriptures. Though, these Christians know the truth, they have not allowed this truth to profit them. This is because they have not missed what they know with faith (Hebrews 4:2).

You either have faith or fear at any given time, you can't have both at the same time. However, you decide which emotion you express per time. And what knowledge you yield to at the time governs your decision. Also, know that fear and faith enter into your life and manifest the same way. So, you choose what you let in or out of your life.

Reasons Why Your Faith Must Be Based On God's Word For It To Work

How potent is your faith? Many Christians are struggling to have their faith produce the results they desire. Some Christians are even wondering whether "this faith thing" is real. It is real; however, their problem may be that their faith is not on the right foundation, which is the word of God. This post gives the reasons why your faith must be based on God's word for your faith to work.

My covenant I will not break, nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips - Psalms 89:34 (NKJV).

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God - Romans 10:17 (NKJV).

Christianity is called the "Faith". Faith describes our Christian walk with God. We are saved by faith and we live by faith. Therefore, for you to make it as a Christian your faith must work; otherwise, you will be constantly defeated by the enemy when you're only to reach out for victory (Already given to you by Jesus) by faith.

What is faith?

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is acting on God's word. It is putting the word of God above situations and issues of life. It is believing the word of the Lord as being the absolute truth and holding on to it till it overcomes.

Therefore, it means that where there is no word of God, there will be no potent faith. God's word is the foundation on which your faith can work. So, you must have faith in the word of the Lord.

Why Your faith must be based on God's Word

1. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17)

Your faith is built up as you hear the word: while studying the word, listening to anointed messages or reading anointed books. It doesn't come by being current with the happenings around you, rather what comes on you most of the time is fear (Faith in the devil). As you hear the Lord speak to you through the above channels, your faith grows to believe Him to do what He had said He would do.
