Once I saw a freezer which was filled with all sorts of meat.

Flies found
a happy breeding ground in spoiled flesh and were multiplying in
unbelievable numbers. Both the meat and the freezer were taken to
the dump.
Issues such as bitterness, jealousy, and hatred qualify as the decay of
the heart that invites the devil to come and give influence - yes, even to
Christians. Remember Paul's admonition to the church of Ephesus,
"Neither give place to the devil." Fear is also a decay of the heart. It
attracts the demonic in the same way as bitterness and hatred. How did
the flies know where the freezer was? Through the scent of decaying
meat. Fear gives off a similar scent. Like faith, fear is substance in the
spiritual realm. Satan has no power except through our agreement.
Fear becomes our heart's response when we come into agreement with
his intimidating suggestions.

When I am afraid,
I will trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise,
In God I trust; I will not be afraid.
Psalm 56:3
There is no fear in love;
but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love

1 John 4:18
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,
always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be
afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
