When you live in fear, you give the devil so much attention, thereby empowering him over your life and destiny. Whatever or whoever you fear controls you. Luke 1:74 says we were saved to serve God without fear.
So if you say you are born again but you still live in fear, you need to know who you are serving, because you should not live in fear of anything while serving God.
You cannot have the fear of God in your heart and the fear of the devil at the same time.
The moment you begin to fear the devil or his agents, you drift into bondage.
If you are sure of your salvation but still live in fear, check yourself; it is likely you are ignorant of who you are in Christ.
Also, as a child of God, when you engage in disobedience or harbour a secret sin in your heart, you lose your confidence and fear sets in. if this is your case, repent of your sin and fully turn to God!
Open Heavens Action Point:
If your heart is always filled with fear, invest time to study who you are in Christ from the book of Ephesians.
