Learning How To Exchange Our Fear for Faith Because God Has Not Given Us A Spirit of Fear

It's easy to "say" what you won't do but following up your words with the appropriate actions is sometimes a challenge.   Peter was a prime example in the Bible.   He told Jesus that He would never deny Him and yet He did.   It wasn't because he didn't love Jesus because he did.   It wasn't because he didn't know Jesus because he did.   He just allowed fear to influence his decision.    

Fear comes from feeling threatened or intimidated.    We always have to remember that God said that He did not give us a spirit of fear.  So if "He" did not give us the spirit of fear, we know where fear comes from.   We have to take the knowledge that God has given us in saying what He has not done and couple it with the fact that we are to cast down everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and begin to cast down fear.  

God said in His Word for us to be still and to know that He is God.    So no matter what is coming against your life, remember God is still God and He cannot be defeated.   Convert your fear to faith.   When something is converted, an exchange takes place.   We have to learn how to exchange our fear for faith.  Fear is rooted in doubt and faith is rooted in trusting and believing that God will honor His Word.

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  

Isaiah 41:10
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
