Peace:

            Not given us spirit of fear:

2 Timothy 1:7

7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

            A lot of people in the world, including Christians, are afraid of something. Is there something that you are afraid of? There is nothing to be ashamed of. As Christians, though, we’re not supposed to be afraid. That can make it even harder on us. We know we’re not supposed to be afraid. All of our friends tell us we’re not supposed to be afraid if we mention our fear to them. We feel guilty for being afraid, and we don’t mention our fear to anyone else. We’re afraid to be afraid.

            It is true that God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear (King James). So, if we’re afraid, it’s not from Him. If you were as powerful as the latest superhero, would you still be afraid? Probably not. Well, the Spirit that God gave us is more powerful than any superhero and more powerful than anything that we will ever encounter. When we feed on His Spirit instead of on what we fear, we begin to sense the fear subsiding. It will try to come back. If we let it, it will prevail. Feed your spirit on His promises of who you are destined to be. If after an interval of time, the fear remains, try to find someone you consider to be spiritual that has a sympathetic ear. Perhaps they will either have a solution or know someone who does.

            God’s Spirit of power, love, and discipline (sound mind – King James) will help you to be strong and courageous like Joshua.

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "There is nothing to fear in Me. You have overcome through Me, and there is nothing that you have to fear. In Me you are overcomers; so why do you look with fear and trembling at what lies ahead? I haven’t chosen you to be fearful and tentative. I have chosen you to be bold and courageous in Me. You are overcomers and should act like it. The world is before you to conquer in My name. You have My name and My authority to overcome everything that is in the world. Don’t act like you are losers, but act like you are winners; for that is what you are in Me.”

            61. God has given me a spirit of power, love, and discipline. I will no longer fear anything.
