Ten Threats to Revival Part 10 - Fear of Loss
Threat #10: Fear of Loss If we fear loss of our our free time, finances, comfort and loss of command of our own lifestyle, schedule and plans, we will resist revival fiercely. Demonic fear must be replaced by a raging, shaking fear of the Lord! The greater our fear of God which comes through intimacy with him, the less our fear that’s initiated by the enemy will be. We won’t fear loss… we will understand that loss is a part of the process. Don’t protect what God may want to touch in your life. Isaiah 8:11-13 (ESV) 11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the LORD of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. The catch is this: If we fear God, the result is boldness and intimacy and power and confidence. If we have a spirit of fear, the result is timidity, reclusion, weakness and insecurity. Proverbs 19:23 (ESV) 23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, and whoever has it rests satisfied; he will not be visited by harm.
