•DEUT 7:1-2

1. When the LORD your God brings

you into the land where you are

entering to possess it, and clears

away many nations before you,

the Hittites and the Girgashites

and the Amorites and the

Canaanites and the Perizzites and

the Hivites and the Jebusites,

seven nations greater and

stronger than you,


2. and when the LORD your God

delivers them before you and you

defeat them, then you shall

utterly destroy them. You shall

make no covenant with them and

show no favor to them.


BIBLICAL TEXT CONT.D

HAND OF MY

RIGHTEOUSNESS.” ISN'T THAT

DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR (THE

HITTITES).

THE "HITTITE" GIANT

THE NAME "HITTITE" MEANS

"DREAD" OR "FEAR."


HITTITE COMES FROM A ROOT

WORD MEANING TERROR, MAKE

AFRAID, SCARED, TERRIFIED,

BROKEN AND AMAZED.

SATAN HAS COMMISSIONED

THIS SPIRIT TO GO FORTH AS A

SPIRIT OF FEAR



HITTITES).

• ITS PURPOSE IS TO DESTROY

HUMAN LIVES, AND TO

DESTROY ALL FAITH IN GOD

AND HIS WORD THROUGH THE

BONDAGE OF FEAR.

•FEAR CAUSED OVER A MILLION

AND FIVE HUNDRED

THOUSAND ISRAELITES NOT

TO ENTER THE PROMISED

LAND.



HITTITES).


HITTITES).

•THE CHOICE IS OURS. WE

EITHER PERMIT FEAR OR

FAITH TO RULE AND REIGN IN

OUR HEARTS.

•WHATEVER RULES OUR

HEARTS TOTALLY CONTROLS

OUR LIVES.



HITTITES).

•FEAR IS A DESTROYER.

FEAR IS ONE OF THE ROOT

CAUSES OF DISOBEDIENCE AND

REBELLION AGAINST GOD!


DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

•FEAR BINDS A LOT OF PEOPLE

TODAY.

•FEAR IS A SPIRIT.

2 TIMOTHY 1:7 FOR GOD HAS

NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF

FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF

LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND.



• IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 80% OF

CHRISTIANS TODAY ARE

OPPRESSED BY THE SPIRIT OF

FEAR.

•THIS CAN AND MUST BE

REVERSED.



•PROVERBS 11:9 SAYS,

"THROUGH KNOWLEDGE THE

RIGHTEOUS WILL BE

DELIVERED".

•WE NEED THE GENUINE

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD TO BE

DELIVERED FROM THE SPIRIT OF

FEAR.


•FEAR STOPS PEOPLE NOT ONLY

IN THE AREAS OF WITNESSING

AND USING SPIRITUAL GIFTS.

•THE FEAR OF REJECTION HAS

HINDERED PEOPLE FROM

BEGINNING WONDERFUL

RELATIONSHIPS.



•THE FEAR OF FAILURE HAS

HELD MANY BACK FROM

BEGINNING WONDERFUL

ENTERPRISES.

•THE FEAR OF DEATH

PARALYZES AND TORMENTS

MANY.

•THERE ARE MANY OTHER

KINDS OF FEAR.



•FEAR TENDS TO ATTRACT EVIL

UPON US,

•JUST AS FAITH TENDS TO

ATTRACT THE GOODNESS AND

BLESSINGS OF GOD.



• FEAR IS A SUBSTANCE OF

THINGS WE HOPE WON'T

HAPPEN, ITS ALMOST LIKE A

CONVICTION THAT THEY WILL

HAPPEN.

•FEAR IS FAITH IN REVERSE



WHAT IS FEAR?

•FEAR IS AN UNEASINESS OF

THE MIND, UPON THE

THOUGHT OF FUTURE EVIL

LIKELY TO BEFALL US.

•AN EMOTION EXPERIENCED IN

ANTICIPATION OF SOME

SPECIFIC PAIN OR DANGER.


•CONSIDER THESE TWO KEY

WORDS IN THE DEFINITION OF

FEAR - MIND & THOUGHT.

•FEAR HAS EVERYTHING TO DO

WITH THE MIND,

•OUR THOUGHT PATTERN AND

BELIEF SYSTEM - PRIMARILY

OUR BELIEF SYSTEM.

WHAT IS FEAR?


• IF WE BELIEVE IN THE

PROMISES OF THE LORD, WE

WILL HAVE NO REASON TO

FEAR.

•UNHEALTHY FEAR IS

CONSIDERED A PHOBIA

WHAT IS FEAR?


THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF

FEARS

A.CLAUSTROPHOBIA (FEAR OF

ENCLOSED SPACES)

B. TO SUCH THINGS AS

PHONOPHOBIA (FEAR OF

SPEAKING ALOUD),



•THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF

FEARS

C.RHYPOPHOBIA (FEAR OF DIRT)

D.ZOOPHOBIA (FEAR OF

ANIMALS).



1. FEAR AND TORMENT GO

TOGETHER

"men's hearts failing them from

fear and the expectation of those

things which are coming on the

earth..." (Luke 21:26)



•FEAR IS A KILLER FORCE-

OPPOSED TO FAITH

•SPIRIT OF FAITH IS EQUAL TO

SPIRITUAL FORCE.

•SPIRIT OF FEAR EQUALS A

SPIRITUAL FORCE



2. OUR WORST MISFORTUNES

NEVER HAPPEN

•MOST OF OUR TORMENTS AND

MISERIES COME FROM

ANTICIPATING WHAT MIGHT

HAPPEN.

•MANY TIMES IT DOES NOT

HAPPEN AT ALL.



3. AS WE FEAR WE ALLOW WHAT WE

DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN TO BE

MANIFESTED AND ALLOWED INTO

OUR LIFE

• IF WE OPERATE IN FEAR WE ARE

OPENING OUR LIVES TO THE

VERY THING WE DON'T WANT TO

HAPPEN,

•WE ARE BRINGING THIS

REALITY INTO BEING.



4. FEAR COMES FROM

IGNORANCE OR LACK OF

KNOWLEDGE OR GOD'S WORD

"My people are destroyed for lack

of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)



5. FEAR OPERATES BY THE SAME

SPIRITUAL LAWS AS FAITH

OPERATES

•FEAR IS THE SUBSTANCE OF

THINGS NOT HOPED FOR.



•AS WE FEAR, THE THINGS WE DON'T

WANT TO HAPPEN ARE BROUGHT

INTO MANIFESTATION AND

•ARE GIVEN SUBSTANCE IN OUR LIFE

BECAUSE WE ARE OPERATING A

COUNTERFORCE TO FAITH.

• IF WE ARE OPERATING IN FEAR, WE

ARE ACTUALLY BRINGING THIS

REALITY INTO OUR LIFE BECAUSE

FEAR IS A SPIRITUAL FORCE.



6. FEAR IS DEVELOPED BY

MEDITATING ON THE LIES OF

THE DEVIL

• i.e. WORRY. WE TAKE

SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT TO

HAPPEN AND THINK OVER AND

OVER



•WORRY OR FEAR IS A SPIRITUAL

FORCE THAT CAN MAKE

NEGATIVE THINGS HAPPEN,

•"FOR THE THING I GREATLY

FEARED HAS COME UPON ME,

AND WHAT I DREADED HAS

HAPPENED TO ME." (JOB 3:25)



7. GREAT FEAR CAN BRING

SOMETHING TO PASS

•FEAR IS A FORCE THAT GOD

HATES.

•EXAMPLE AT CONSTANTINOPLE

–



•CHOLERA - 125 PEOPLE DIED

•BUT ONLY 5 FROM CHOLERA.

•REMAINDER DIED FROM FEAR

OF CHOLERA.



•WORRY AND FEAR IS INTEREST

PAID ON TROUBLE BEFORE IT IS

DUE.

•FEAR AND WORRY ARE A SIN

"Whatever is not of faith is sin."

(Romans 14:23)



•FIRST EVIL FORCE TO GRIP

ADAM AFTER THE FALL WAS

FEAR

• It is ingrained in all creation. "So

he said, 'I heard Your voice in the

garden, and I was afraid because

I was naked; and I hid myself.'"

(Genesis 3:10) Adam fell from

fellowship with God



•SOME SAY THEY HAVE LEARNED TO

LIVE WITH IT but look at Revelation

21:8.

•But the fearful, and unbelieving,

and the abominable, and

murderers, and whoremongers,

and sorcerers, and idolaters, and

all liars, shall have their part in

the lake which burneth with fire

and brimstone: which is the

second death. Ven. Dr. John C. Adubacim. Holy Trinity Church Anglican Rumuapara


•SATAN USES FEAR TO

DESTROY MIND AND BODY

Fear destroys, faith

creates. "God's Word is

health to all our flesh"

(Proverbs 3:8)



Dr Charles Mayo said,

•"I HAVE NEVER KNOWN ANYONE

WHO DIED OF OVERWORK, BUT I

HAVE KNOWN MANY WHO DIED

FROM FEAR, ANXIETY & WORRY."



•FEAR TEARS DOWN THE GODLY

HEDGE OF PROTECTION.

•FEAR CAUSES OVEREATING,

ANXIETY, STRESS



•FEAR BRINGS TORMENT

•THE DEVIL LOVES TO OPERATE

THROUGH FEAR

•BECAUSE IT GIVES HIM AN OPEN

DOOR TO ATTACK AND DESTROY

A PERSON.



(1) TRAUMA OR SHOCK

(a) WATCHING PEOPLE DIE –

(b) LOOKING INTO AN OPEN

COFFIN.

(c) ACCIDENTS.


(2) SIN (OF OURSELVES OR

ANCESTORS) - PAST

INVOLVEMENT IN THE OCCULT.

(13) HEARING THE WRONG THINGS

JESUS SAID, "TAKE HEED HOW YOU

HEAR." (LUKE 8:18)


(14) COVETOUSNESS IS A

PRIMARY ENTRY POINT FOR

FEAR.

•AS WE COVET MATERIAL

THINGS, WE ALLOW OURSELVES

TO BE BROUGHT INTO BONDAGE

AND DEBT (SEE PROV. 22:7).


•WE ARE TOLD THAT OUR

CONDUCT SHOULD BE WITHOUT

COVETOUSNESS AND WE

SHOULD BE CONTENT WITH

SUCH THINGS AS WE HAVE.

•Then we can boldly say, "The

Lord is my helper, I will not fear

what man can do to me."

(Hebrews 13:6)


(15) TIREDNESS , OVERWORK

AND STRESS.

(16) SICKNESS


(17) SEPARATION FROM GOD. (Isaiah

59:1-2)

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not

shortened, that it cannot save;

neither his ear heavy, that it cannot

hear: But your iniquities have

separated between you and your

God, and your sins have hid his face

from you, that he will not hear.
