Identifying the Root Causes

Come to a place where God is able to show you what the issues really are. When you describe your brain as a battleground in relation to something like disease or cancer—if you are picturing it—then ask: Where did that come from? Ask the Father to show you. Was this something that runs in your family? Was it linked to a traumatic event? Something that happened in your life?

Most of the time, we are not afraid of things that are not somehow connected to us. So it is important to find the root. Then remember: perfect love casts out fear.

The Power of Perfect Love

Apply the perfect love of God to any fear you may be carrying. In your imagination, if this is something you can picture, or see, or feel—something that causes fear or pain to rise—then allow God to go to the root of that experience.

As I have said previously, you can apply the blood of Jesus. You can apply the love of God. Ask Jesus to remove that image from your imagination—to remove the memory of it from your mind—so that no neural pathway is triggered to lead you back down into that lie. Because disease is not God’s desire for you. God only has blessing for you. He is a good God. He wants the best for you.

Replacing Lies with Truth

So the way forward is not to try and stop picturing it or stop thinking about it. Instead, begin to think on the truth: God is my healer. He wants me to be whole. His desire for me is health and wholeness. Focus your meditation on that truth. If those fearful or negative thoughts return, dismiss those thoughts, take them captive and bring them back to the truth. You might say, This thought of cancer has come again, but it is not mine. God’s desire for me is to live in health—cancer-free, free from disease and sickness.

Each time the memory returns, apply the truth again. In fact, you can take it further: Thank you for this negative thought, because now I can apply the truth and turn this for good. Every time a negative thought comes, I will counter it with a positive one and turn it for good.

Eventually, you will find that external negative thoughts—those not coming from within you—will stop. And if there is anything internal, anything programmed in your subconscious, God can show you. That can then be removed, healed and restored.

Taking Thoughts Captive

Your imagination is neutral. If it is primed for death or destruction, ask why. Have you seen or watched things that lodged fear in your heart and mind? If so, those images can be purged. Your imagination and heart can be purified—by God’s love, by His power, by the blood of Jesus. Imagine it being washed clean, painted over, covered entirely, and removed.

You do not need to try and feel loved. Just relax and allow God to love you. Eventually, you will begin to recognise His love in a way that is meaningful to you. That might be through feeling emotionally close. It might be a sense of peace, blessing or comfort. Whatever that unique language is, God wants to speak it to you.

Tune in

Do not assume God is only going to speak with a voice in your head. You need to learn to discern His communication—to tune into it. Think of it like an old radio. At first, all you hear is static. Then you turn the dial and maybe catch a snatch of sound, until suddenly you tune it in and hear clearly.

It is like that with God. There may be lots of noise, lots of interference. But once you find the right frequency, you will begin to hear. Your frequency may be different to someone else’s. That is fine. Just find how you connect. You might feel, or sense, or simply know. It might not be words at all—it could be intuition. All of these are ways God chooses to communicate, and He will tailor it to you.

So just relax. God loves you. He loves you more than you know. He loves you right now—and that is enough. His love will never fail. It will never give up. It will never let you go. He wants you to live in the love, joy and peace of His presence—and enjoy it every single day.

One thought on “451. Conquering Fear | Your Mind as a Battleground”

  1. Plenty of old fears have recently been given the boot by perseverance in discipleship under Mike’s inspired leading. In fact they all have, but, I still have my moments! However, increasingly consistently, when I remember and allow the implications of God’s perfect love manifested in Jesus (i.e. the gospel) to cast them out in order to enter that glorious state which is the portion of every believer, I am a joyous partaker of the victorious language of the early Apostles.
