Encouragement Shared:



…God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:5-

The Proverbs state; Fear of man always proves to be a snare.

Fear is one of those sins that cause havoc and destruction in life of a Christian; Bottom line fear is sin…

Fear is usually a component of what keeps us from being confident, causes us to act on emotion and not on the word of truth as breathed out by God the Father. The word of God states perfect love expels fear-God’s love is perfect. So fear not beautiful sisters, God is truly in control. Our trails are a platform for building faith!

The Book of Romans state: …through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:2-5

The cause and effect of fear: anxiety- It deceives through the lies that plague our thoughts it is a platform of lies; bad choices and consequences… I call it lies and consequences; we buy the lie, react to lie and suffer consequences based on a lie and not the word of truth as told by God. As a child of the “Most High” we must consider the word of God as a mirror of our souls in order to have understanding, clarity and true perspective of our awesome and Holy God, where we are at and allow God to prune those bad roots.

Jesus speaks of this in the [John Chapter 15 recommended reading] I am the vine you are the branches. John 15:5

Fear has a consequence and it paralyzes us from hearing God through the power of His word. It deviates us from a kingdom minded focus. The focus then becomes focus on self…Jesus stated not my will be done but yours be done:”Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42










Fear-This is what the Lord states about fear; Do not be afraid or dismayed-
