FEAR is the NEGATION of FAITH

Fear and uncertainty hoover over this world like a hawk poised for action; fearfully wielding absolute power over the minds of the many who are watching for impending doom.  Fear has driven numerous souls to an untimely death, insanity, and numerous diseases.

  But God; has not given His children a spirit of fear, so why are there an increasingly large number of Christians choosing to embrace it?  They appear to lack spiritual understanding that God is control of this world and the affairs of men.  God is sovereign.

God's Word says; "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." (Matthew 24:6).

Fear not what is to come but, "Fear God and keep His commandments." (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
"Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28).   
                                                                                                                                                                    If God be for me, who can be against me?     "For I am convinced the neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our LORD," (Romans 8: 38-39).                                                                                                                                                                           
There still may be time for you to repent and get your mind and spirit in God's order.  We who belong to the true living God have His Word and His promises to rest in and be at peace.

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7).
