While fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the sense of danger or pain, courage is a virtue developed through the word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit in us.
Courage is not the absence of fear but mastery of fear. It is said that about 365 times in the scripture the instruction ''fear not'' is given to strengthen believers heart each day.
Fear opens the door for the enemy to attack us while faith opens the door for God's spirit to help us. Therefore, fear not.
Prov 29:25 ''The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe''
Fear is a spirit and God has not given us the spirit of fear...2Tim 1:7
Faith is also a spirit 2Cor 4: 13 ''We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak''.
Questions
1. What is the source of the spirit of fear?
2. Where does the spirit of faith come from and how can we receive more and more of it?
3. In Phil 4:6 we are admonished not to give room to anxiety or worrying which is the fear of the unknown, what antidote was recommended?
Prayers
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant grace to overcome the spirit of fear. I renounce every spirit of fear in my life in Jesus name. I reject every spirit of fear and i invite the spirit of faith to displace it in Jesus name. Thank You Lord Jesus for filling my heart with courage. Amen.
