FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN


Are you afraid of the boogieman in the dark or the monster under the bed? Hopefully, we out-grew that. We did, didn't we?
The adult version is fear of the unknown -- Iran, health, finances or whatever is in your fear box. Fear will torment you if you let it. You don't have to be afraid.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
In times of fear, the  "Spirit of God's power" is the voice of faith. It speaks to our hearts in the heat of fear and says, "God can!" God can what? God can take care of the unknown problem and your fear. Because God can -- you can.
The way to overcome our fears is to release the "Spirit of power" within us by faith. We can be sure of God's power when we are doing His work, proclaiming His Word, and representing His kingdom..
1 John 4:16,18  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear . . .
