Galations 4:5 And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, Abba, Father. v.7 Now you are no longer a slave but God's own child....
Good news! We're not slaves anymore to anything in the enemy's kingdom, which means we are no longer a slave to worrying, to fear, to sinful tendencies, or to anything else that would pull us down.
Romans 8:15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."
There it is again! So next time something is thrown at us which tries to make us think negatively, or act wrongly or feel fearful we need to remind ourselves that the Holy Spirit has already set us free from the power of it. He's already released us from it's hold so we can resist it, not in our power, but in His, because of who we are - a child of God.
The Holy Spirit is reminding us that we've been adopted by God Himself, that He is our Abba, our Daddy Father God who we can run to any time for help. The enemy tries to deceive us into thinking we're still his fearful slaves, that we are helpless against him- but that is one of his deceiving lies, it is not God's truth!
God knows we get fearful sometimes but He wants us to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are no longer a slave to them! He's done something about it. Let's ask Him to help us receive a fresh revelation of that truth deep in our spirits so that He can strengthen us to resist the fears and worries that try to overwhelm us. Let's keep reading these scriptures over and over until they take root inside us.
If nothing else today, remember you are a child of God, and even when you feel fearful, know that you don't actually have a fearful spirit, but you do have the Holy Spirit who has set you free from the power and hold of it and let's thank Him for it by faith. God loves you.😊
