GOD has not given us a Spirit of fear (one that is tormenting and crippling), but of power, love, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7 There's a difference between the emotion of fear that serves as one of our body's defense mechanisms. And the spirit of fear - the embodiment or mindset of a crippling or tormenting fear. Fear is a normal, universal emotion, felt by everyone at some point(s) in life. Fear, like all other emotions, can be a strength or a weakness - it is our reaction or response to fear that determines which outcome. Join me for a discussion on what fear is, the three responses to fear, various types of fear, and how they are evidenced in our everyday life .
