Statistics state that there are over 4,000 types of fear known to man. If you think about this, it really is true. One can have fear of almost any imaginable thing there is.

We were designed with the fight or flight ability. When we are subjected to a fearful situation or even thought, our body automatically goes into an alarm stage. If the stressor is not resolved our body than moves into a resistance stage. In this stage, long term affects of fear manifest into physical symptoms.

The hypothalamus, which keeps up the function of the body’s homeostasis, is influenced by the stress and anxiety, occurring in the mind concerning fear. Finally, the body will be inefficient to heal itself, introducing an exhaustion mode. God has designed our physical structure to mend and regenerate itself. Nonetheless, if we’re not bringing every thought into captivity it places us into a constant state of fight or flight in which our bodies can’t repair itself.

What are you hearing when your body goes into an anxiety attack? Are you having trouble taking your thoughts captive and controlling where your mind goes? For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 Where does your mind wander to? To frightening and worrisome things in the future? God stated in the Bible, that He did not give us a spirit of fear; but of power, and love and a sound mind. 2nd Timothy 1:7 Listen, if we have control of our thoughts than we have the power to cast down every imagination behind the spirit of fear and how it can affect our physical bodies.

The Bible tells us, roughly 365 times to “fear not”. Pretty awe-inspiring that God addresses this subject so often. He likewise, assures us that faith and fear are equal. What do fear and faith have in common? Both project into the future and demand to be carried out. Fear is full of negativity and symbolizes your opposition, the devil. Faith comprises the irrefutable peace of God.

The holistic approach purportedly cares for the whole patient, but how intimately do they understand mans spirit and soul from Gods standpoint? Your foe, the devil, however, realizes our incomparable creation rather well. He has made a survey of Gods creation for a very long time. He recognizes how God created our mind/body/soul connection. The devil knows that we are only maintained in wellness and sanity to the level that we reflect the nature of the living God. Your foe recognizes that by holding captive our thinking, he can command your biology, also.

Fear focuses on the world and is an accuser, reminding you of past failures and that God is unworthy. It separates us from God and torments us, drives us, and is contagious. Think about how true this is? When you embrace fear, it is generally a driving force pushing us into negative thought territory, causing our body to go into flight or fight.

Faith is all about “whom we will believe”, which is God. Faith is about trust and hope that God will take care of your future. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of which is not yet seen.” Hebrews 11:1 If you have faith you believe before you see it in the physical. Faith gently leads us, unlike when fear drives us. God honors and respects those of you who believe and trust in Him. Faith or fear are a decision you can choose. Practice taking every thought captive and walking out in faith that God is the one in control of your future.
