Fear

To overcome fear, do the good, the loving, and the responsible thing regardless of your feeling. (2 Timothy 1:7; John 4:18; Matthew 10:26- 31) – Perfect love casts out fear. If we are involved in being obedient to God, then love will no doubt because we will be so engaged in willfully serving and believing God. Loving God makes us strong; believing God causes us to trust Him; with that trust, there is no room for doubt, which leaves no room for fear.

Fear comes from not trusting; this will open the door to doubt and hinder the accurate flow of the fountain of love flowing from God. “Submit yourself unto God and allow His love to flow through every fiber of your being.” Fear has torment; love has peace. Meditate on God, and that’s the best thing.

Fear the True and the Living God with all power and authority if you fear. This fear means reverence, not fear or fear of someone who loves you.

One distinguishes kinds of fear:

(Deuteronomy 1:17; Proverbs 29:25) – The fear of man is a fear that often costs us great contention; we recognize if this person does this or does that, we can be in great trouble. This is unhealthy fear; it leads to further difficulties in our lives. Fear God, and work out our salvation with the love of Christ in our hearts. The fear of man should be irrelevant because man can only heart the body. God restores the soul.

Prayer

Almighty God, You have not given me the spirit of FEAR. Let my mind and body be free from this torment. May your peace flood my soul from the inside out, in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
