Goodbye Fear!!!

2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

All types of fears
Fear of God, you have respect and have high reverence for God
Fear of your parents - the same thing
Fear of authority over you
Fear danger in your way - like running in the street
Fear that is irrational – fear for no reason

Fear is false evidence appearing real. It’ a lie.

Most fear apply to future events
This might happen to me or that might happen and usually it won’t

Fear can be a controlling factor in your life
Fear makes you act crazy, stupid out of your mind
Fear can cause you to freeze up with no action at all, terrified, won’t move one inch.

Fear can cause you to miss out on your blessings and opportunities:
·         scared you don’t have the right qualifications,
·         Scared it might be somebody better than you, you already have everything you need
·         scared people might not accept you for who you are

How do we say goodbye to fear?

First let’s look at the scriptures:

The Scriptures say God have not given us the spirit of fear
If it did not come from God, it had to come from somebody, right.
If it didn’t come from God, It must have come from the devil, Amen
Anything from the devil we do not need it in our life.
Also, we must realize we have a greater spirit in us. The Holy Spirit!
Only a Spirit can beat another spirit: you can’t fight it, you can’t shoot it, you can’t stick it with a knife, and you can’t cut his head off. You have to have another spirit and the only spirit I know is bigger than fear is the Holy Spirit.

Second thing to say goodbye to fear:

Have total and complete total trust in God

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
 and lean not on your own understanding;

Next the Third things

Get the focus off yourself and on God because fear come in and we start looking at our own abilities and own shortcoming instead trusting in God.
