The fruit of fear is torment. The platform that opens the door to fear develops when we have not been honest with ourselves or others. We are afraid that others will find out who we really are.
Another platform the devil uses to create fear and torment in our lives is unforgiveness. If we cannot forgive ourselves and remain in self-condemnation, we will be vulnerable to Satan. He is a liar, and he loves to send condemning thoughts to you.
The way out of fear is to forgive all those who have wronged and hurt you and also to forgive yourself. When you recognize that your life is not your own, but you were purchased by a loving God Who cared enough to send Me as the perfect sacrifice to give you the opportunity to receive My righteousness, you will have a foundation for faith instead of fear. Trusting in your own righteousness will never work. Whenever you are afraid, say out loud, "Thank You Lord Jesus for being My righteousness. What times I am fearful, I will trust you with all of My heart and not be afraid."
MATTHEW 18:21-35
