Wikipedia described fear in following words … “Fear is a feeling induced by perceived danger or threat that occurs in certain types of organisms, which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in behavior, such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events”
Fear is something that can paralyze even the bravest of souls. It is that feeling inside of you that causes you to sometimes doubt good decisions, neglect to follow through on commitments and even become physically ill.
“When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:5-7
God gives us what we need to overcome fear – He gives us power and love and a sound mind [2 Timothy 1:7]. If you are called into kingdom service, you will be incapacitated except you stir up the grace gifts in you by standing in faith! Don’t let fear cripple you. Fear can cause a person to feel nervous, anxious and can even impair their bodily functions by interfering with their ability to think clearly, speak with a steady voice and keep a steady hand. Trust the Lord to give you the power to overcome fear. However, it is also one of Satan’s greatest schemes to keep believers from growing into who we are meant to become. There is nothing wrong with fear itself. It is the negative response to fear that usually trips us up.
