"God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. - I Tim. 1:7. There are many things and situations to fear in this world. However, if we let it, these fears can overtake us and cause us to forget the love and power of God. Fear does not come from Him, faith does. The reverential fear of the Lord is different than the fear of the world. A reverential fear is showing honor, respect, and having awe of your heavenly Father. Its not a fear where you are scared to death and want to hide.
When we are in fear, we usually don't think clearly, make mistakes, and make decisions because we feel pushed "to do something". Sometimes me make the wrong decisions. Fear does not come from God, but from Satan. Satan's agenda is to bombard you with so much fear, that you'll make a decision that will take you out of God's will, and into his will.
Praise God! Your heavenly Father has power available to you. That power is His Holy Spirit who will lead you into all truth and remind you of the love of your heavenly Father (read John 14:26-27). Rebuke the devil and he will flee. There is power in the word of God, but you must act on it. The Lord has given you love, the most powerful weapon of all. He has given you a sound mind. Don't allow the devil to push you into insanity. When a thought of fear comes along, speak the word and have faith in it.
GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF A SOUND MIND.
