How to Stay Out of Fear
Fear is part of the sin nature God created faith and wants us to live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38) He is not the author of fear and never intended for anyone to be in fear.

The power of God is in His Word.

At some point as you listen to yourself say it out loud you begin to believe it in your heart and it comes alive and clicks with you.
This is when you receive it spiritually.
It is essential not to confess any of the doubts you may have in your mind.
The next step is to stay in faith and keep confessing it.
Eventually it will manifest and become a reality in your life.
A negative confession will undo the promises of God and nullify your prayers.
