Facing Our Fears

What is the reality of our fear? What does God say about it?  How does it fit in the life of a person who is not a Christian and how does it fit in the life of a believer?

Causes of fear:

• Sin
• Godly fear
  • Protective fear (Deuteronomy 10:12)
  • Fear of the Lord
• Learned fears
• Imagination – even if the fear is not based on reality, your body will react the same. 
• Ignorance – (eternal security)
• Doubt
• A Poor self-image

Consequences of fear:

• Stifles your productivity
• Divides your mind
• Destroys relationships
• Hinder us financially

What’s the cure for fear?

• Acknowledge it
• Identify the source of it
• Focus on God
• Exercise faith
• Verbalize the truth
