So many people are missing out on God's abundance of joy, peace, love and happiness because of fear.They are afraid to take decisions, they are afraid to confront issues, they are afraid to step out in faith, thet are afraid of future
Fear is not from God but from satan.You are not to embrace fear but face your faer and kill it. You need Jesus to help you to overcome that spitit of fear.The only way to conquer fear is confront it in the name of Jesus and go on its direction just like the way David faced the Goliath that harrasse Israel for good 40days.Kill your fear by the name of Jesus.

Conquering fear is easier said than done. Even when we get past one, with the help of the Holy Spirit, another one comes to take its place. Trusting in God sounds so easy, but if we think we always do that, we're fooling ourselves.
I have followed Christ for well over 30 years and He still leads me through areas that I thought I trusted Him in. Total trust is necessary to defeat fear. Perfect Love casts out fear and that Love is found in perfect trust.

Hi Benja. Welcome to myLot.
You are correct in what you say about fear. It is part of human nature, but came with the Fall and is from the devil.
I have known, loved and served my loving Father God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, for 51 of my 73 years. In that time He has been my constant Companion, my Teacher and Guide, my Strength and Sustainer, my Encourager, my Enabler - my EVERYTHING!
There is nothing too hard for my God, so there is nothing I should fear. He constantly protects me as He leads me in His way, and as I follow. He has enabled me to overcome "giants" of fear.
You mention David and Goliath. I like the illustration that when the Israelites looked at Goliath, they said "He is SO BIG we cannot BEAT him". David looked at the very same Goliath, with faith in God, and said, "He is SO BIG I cannot MISS him!"
"In all these things, we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him who loves us" Romans 8:37

I agree with you. Fear will not go away since that is the devil's weapon that drives people insane. In order to overcome is by confronting your fears or the giants in your life. God allows those things to happen to us so that we will be able to challenge them through the help of the holy spirit and in the end it will sharpen our character. One best way of confrontation aside from david and goliath is jehu and jezebel. Jehu rocks. He definitely knows his identity in God.
