Conquer the spirit of fear

After a long day of exploring the city that never sleeps, we settled in and called it a night. I began to drift off to sleep when I heard a voice that said, “conquer the spirit of fear.” Or “if you could conquer the spirit of fear, you can do great things.” Immediately a dream followed where I was in a decrepit house. The columns and walls were made of wood. The wood was rotting. There was a malevolent presence in the space. Someone was in the house but I could not recognize them. My mind identified the presence as the spirit of fear. Then the house became beautiful and strong and clean. The dark  presence left and I felt a calming of my soul. I went from feeling fear and discomfort to breathing with a sense of relief. 

I must admit that I have felt a bit of imposter syndrome because I am a fairly new Christian. I remember being fearful and respectful of God when I was about ten years old. I used to ask for his forgiveness for doing things like cursing; I think that was the only thing I asked God to forgive. It shows my lack of understanding and lack of guidance.
