Andrew Wommack Devotional for 24 April 2026

TODAY’S ANDREW WOMMACK DEVOTIONAL.

TOPIC: Get Rid Of Fear

Luke 8:50, "But when Jesus heard it, he answered him saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole."

Text: Matthew 9:23-31; Mark 5:35-43; Luke 8:49-56

Jesus told Jairus to 'believe only,' implying that faith and fear can operate in us at the same time. This is also the reason James tells us not to be double-minded, or to waiver (Jas. 1:5-8). Fear will negate faith. We can have both thoughts of faith and thoughts of unbelief at the same time.

Fear and faith are opposing forces. Fear is actually faith in reverse. Fear is believing something or someone other than God. Therefore, fear makes us subject to Satan and his death just as faith makes us recipients of all that God has to offer. This is the reason Jesus told Jairus, 'Fear not.' Jairus' fear would have sealed his daughter's death.

Instead of trying to build huge amounts of faith to overcome our fears and unbelief, a simpler method is to remove our fears by cutting off their source. Then, our simple 'child-like' faith that remains will do the job. It doesn't take big faith - just pure faith.

Where does fear come from? Second Timothy 1:7 says, 'For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.' It doesn't come from God. The way that fear is able to come upon us is that we take our attention off of Jesus and put it on our situation.

Fear or doubt cannot 'just overcome' us. We have to let it in. In the same way that faith comes by hearing the Word of God, fear comes by hearing or seeing something contrary to God's Word. We would not be tempted with fear or doubt if we didn't consider things that Satan uses to minister that fear and doubt.

Satan tries to distract us with thinking about our problems. No problem is too big for God. We should cast our concern about the problem over on God and just keep our eyes on Jesus, the Word.

Today’s devotional reminds us that fear and faith cannot produce results together, and it’s our responsibility to guard our hearts from fear. Fear grows when we focus on circumstances, but faith thrives when we keep our eyes on God’s Word. Instead of trying to force great faith, we can simply eliminate fear by refusing to entertain thoughts that contradict God’s promises. As we stay focused on Him, our faith remains pure and effective, empowering us to walk in victory regardless of the situation.
