"And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed (Deuteronomy 31:8).”Not only that, but He lives and works within you:
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13)."The ultimate fear of loss is fearing death. When I said that the enemy lies and makes you think you will not be able to live without the thing you fear losing, he is tapping into mankind's fear of death. But you do not have to fear even death if Jesus Christ is your personal Savior. You have eternal life in Him. He came to set you free from all fears on this Earth, even death:
...that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews 2:14-15)."If fear of loss has you in bondage to any addiction or destructive habit, then ask yourself, "What am I afraid I will lose if I don't do this?" Ask the Lord for revelation in this. Find a word from the Lord to plant in your heart, believe it, and practice it daily. His perfect love casts out all fears when you believe Him. The enemy wants you to occupy your mind with fear, cares, and worries so that you lose focus on what the Lord has for you. Not only that, but these things choke God's word within you so that it becomes unfruitful (see Matthew 13:22). You must protect God's word within you at all costs! So put your mind to work reading, meditating upon, listening to, and practicing God's word. When the cares and fears come knocking, don't even go there. Send Jesus to answer the door. Like a gardener, commit to protecting God's word within you so that it bears Spiritual fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to glorify Him (Galatians 5:22-23 and John 15:8). When you are occupied with God's love and solidified in God's word, then the fear of loss will no longer have a hold on you.
