A Prayer To Renounce Fear
Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, The Moody Church

Father, help me to agree with You that I am not subject to fear, but
am a child of Your love.
I reject the fear of the future, for I believe that the future is in Your
hands.
I reject the fear of evildoers, for Your Word says, “Though an army
encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise
against me, yet I will be confident…For He will hide me in His
shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of
His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock.”
I renounce the fear of rejection, for David wrote in Your holy
Word, “For my father and mother have forsaken me, but the Lord
will take me in.”
I renounce the fear of witnessing about Christ, because as Your
Word warns, “The fear of man brings a snare.”
Therefore, I choose to fear You more than I do any human being. I
affirm, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do
to me?”
I renounce the fear of losing my property and possessions, for
Your Word says, “I have learned in whatever situation I am, to be
content…I know the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance
and need; I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
I renounce the fear of Satan, for Your Word says he has already
been conquered “by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our
testimony.”
I renounce the fear of saying “goodbye” to a terminally ill loved
one, for Jesus promised, “Let not your heart be troubled…In My
Father’s house are many rooms; I go and prepare a place for you
and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will
take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.”
I renounce the fear of death, for I affirm with the Apostle Paul,
“For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Thank You for the
promise, “death is swallowed up in victory.”
I renounce the fear of martyrdom, for Your Word declares, “Do not
fear those who are able to kill the body, but fear Him rather who is
able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
I renounce the fear of loneliness, for we are promised, “Our
fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.” And
also, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” And again, “Peace I
leave with you; My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do
I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be
afraid.”
I renounce the fear of intimidation, for Jesus said, “If the world
hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you. In the
world you will have tribulation, but take heart; I have overcome the
world.”
I renounce the fear of false accusations. I accept this promise,
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and
utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on My account. Rejoice
and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they
persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
I renounce the fear of being treated unjustly, for of Jesus we read
that, “When He was reviled, He did not revile in return, when He
suffered, He did not threaten but continued entrusting Himself to
Him who judges justly.”
I renounce the fear of radical Islam and its desire to intimidate us.
I renounce the fear of political correctness.
I declare that “The truth shall set me free,” and I choose to live as a
free person in Christ Jesus. I shall speak and not be silent.
I renounce the fear of curses, either known or unknown, spoken
against me and my family.
I renounce the fear of manipulation and control.
I renounce the fear of being involved in public or political activity.
I declare that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
I submit to Jesus as Lord of every area of my life. Jesus Christ is
Lord of my home. Jesus Christ is Lord of my relationships. Jesus
Christ is Lord of my city. Jesus Christ is Lord of my nation. Jesus
Christ is Lord above all false gods and religions. Jesus Christ is Lord
over all the nations of the Earth.
I commit myself to be a living witness to Jesus Christ as Lord. I am
not ashamed of His cross. “God forbid that I should glory except in
the cross of Christ.”
I ask now that You will fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and pour
upon me all the blessings of the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Grant
me the grace to understand the truth of Your Word clearly, and to
apply it in every area of my life. Give me words of hope and life, as
You promised. Open and bless my lips so that I can speak to others
with authority and power in Jesus’ name. Give me the boldness to
be a faithful witness for Christ. Give me a love for all people, and a
passion to share the love of Christ with them.
Grant that I shall carry Your cross as a badge of honor.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen

All of us deal with fear from time to time, I pray this prayer helps you, in Jesus name Amen!

This morning I awoke and the Lord told me, “Some many are just thankful to get a clean cup of water everyday” Amen to that. Like my brother Daryl. I carry bottled water in my car and give the people begging for money…water. We have many people on the street corners in Albuquerque in need everyday. Be careful you never know which one is Jesus! Be kind and giving. I have a friend Dave Beatty in Santa Fe, NM that at one time gave out McDonalds coupons for free meals, I will have to see if Dave still does that.

This morning in my many phone calls, I had a blessed conversation with my brother Daryl, and he was sharing the news of the day was really getting him upset and sad. I understand, I told him as I do the news 7 days at week at FGGAM. He stated that he really does not understand those that are not paying attention to what is going around them. I again states that I understood, I told him there are far to many Pastor’s and Christians that are not paying attention to the world we live in.

The Lord put it on my heart to share an article that the Baptist Convention of New Mexico Executive Director Joseph Bunce wrote in the August 30th edition of the Baptist New Mexican.

Here is part of it……….

I have never desires fame, but I have often prayed that God would allow me to live a life of principles. My favorite verses in the entire Bible are Proverbs 30: 7-9, which is a prayer that is my constant prayer.

“Two things I ask of You;

don’t deny them to me before I die:

Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.

Give me neither poverty nor weath;

feed me with the food I need.

Otherwise, I might have too much

and deny You, saying, ‘Who is the LORD?’

or I might have nothing and steal.

profaning the name of my God”

Joesph Bunce continues to write……..

I have also developed a list of five principles that I have sought to direct my everyday life. They are based on five simple words,: love, learn, listen, laugh and lead.

1. Love God, love others and love my enemies. Matthew 5:43

2. Learn from God and others. Matthew 11: 28-30

3. Listen to God and to those I seek to serve. 1 Corinthians 4: 1-5

4. Laugh. Don’t take everything so serious. Proverbs 17:22, Ecclesiastes 3:4

5. Lead. God called me to lead my family, both my personal family and my Christian family. Joshua 24:15

The word that I would close this article with is “laugh.” I wish to remind you of the importance of laughter. Martin Luther is quoted as saying, “Your laughter is the measure of your faith.” It is so easy to be overwhelmed with life and forget to laugh.

WOW!  Such a timely and wise article by  Joseph Bunce who is the Baptist Convention New Mexico Executive Director. I also want to share with you, I highly recommend you subscribing to the Baptist New Mexican newspaper by calling Joy Pittman at 505-924-2311. It is one of the best things that I get in the mail!

After I read this to my brother Daryl and I read it over about 5 times, it gave both of us much peace and confidence in our Lord.

I love Dr. Bunce’s five principles for his life…….I try to follow them each day……….and I sure love to laugh! I also just love to learn, everyday I pray to the Lord that I learn more from Him and His ways. Amen!
