Proverbs 1:33 says, But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
As we have already seen, hearken means “to declare,” so this verse means, “Hearken unto Me-declare unto Me what I have said,” Speaking words such as, “I am far from oppression!” will set forces at work for you to keep fear and other negative forces away from your life.
According to Proverbs 3, putting God’s wisdom-the Word of God-into your heart will free you from fear:
My son, let not them (wisdom and knowledge) depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: so shall they be life unto thy soul…
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Proverbs 3:21-26
These words will do wonders for building up the soulish man, as well as the spirit, and free you from fear!
Some say, “You’re just ignoring the problems.” On the contrary, I’m doing something about them by planting seed in my heart that will overcome the problem.
