Help me to agree with You that I am not subject to fear, that you have not given to me a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  It is written in Romans 8:15-16, "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father... The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." Lord, I believe your Word -- help my unbelief!  Cause me to live in your Word, by the working of the Holy Spirit. Send the Holy Spirit to systematically expose and destroy every lie of the devil that I have accepted and that keeps me in bondage to fear, and replace every lie with the truth of your Word and of your Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. I ask this, Father, in Jesus' name. In the Almighty Name of Jesus Christ: I reject fear of the future, for I believe that the future is in Your Hands. It is written in Psalm 31:15, "My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies." I reject 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 fear of rejection, for it is written in Psalm 27:10, "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up." I renounce fear of witnessing about Christ, because it is written in Proverbs 29:25, "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." Therefore, I choose to fear You more than I do any human being. I affirm what is written in Psalm 118:6, "The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?" I renounce the fear of losing my property and possessions, for Your Word says,  Philippians 4:11 and 19, "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content... But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." I renounce fear of Satan, for it is written in Revelation 12:10-11, "Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down... And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." I renounce the fear of losing loved ones in death, for it is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:14, "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." I renounce fear of death, for the Lord Jesus Christ has said in John 14:1,3, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me... And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." It is written also, in Philippians 1:21, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. I renounce fear of martyrdom, for Your Word declares, in Luke 12:4-5, "I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do... But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him." I renounce fear of loneliness, for we
