There are three types of fear. 1. Warning fear - God-given instinct for protection. 2. Fear of God - Reverence, awe, and honor. 3. Emotional Fear - Anxiety, worry, stress, unease. Before you can deal with an enemy, we must be able to identify the enemy. God has not given us a spirit of fear. But of power, love and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7.
Fear is a spirit that brings all kinds of worries and situations that can detour us from God and all he has for us. Proverbs 4:23 tells us, Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it springs the issues of life. Fear and anxiety shackle us, diminish our lives, and may even kill you! Fear is something we all deal with, but it does not need to control us because we belong to God.
