It is an insidious malevolent evil that seeps in masquerading under the disguise of prudence or wisdom or something else that is seemingly right.
It is paralysis.
It stops faith and saps the power of love.
In the Bible it talks about fear, Fearing God - which is not what I am talking about. That kind of fear is a reverent awe of our Almighty Father.
The fear I'm talking about is the fear that does not allow us to function as we were intended to function, in freedom knowing that we are loved, that God is in control, that He is working in our best interest, and that we can trust Him.
I have lived in an atmosphere where fear was the driving force in my mom's life. It is living in constant turmoil and confusion and it defeats everything about life.
One cannot be a Christian and live like that after finding out what is possible with knowing Jesus truly.
After being set free from that slavery it seems impossible to conceive of going back.
This is what I say to Fear (the demon enemy of Love)
fear
has no power over us
not
any more
be
gone
I
belong to trust
to
truth
to
love
there
is no room for fear here
it
is dismissed
my
heart is surrounded by that love which gives me the faith to have hope and to
believe in the truth
it's
like the circle of life
love
truth faith hope
all
one and the same
no
room for anything that the enemy wants to feed
me
and
it makes me angry when it has hold of those I
love
but
it is not my choice
it's
theirs to either hold on to or let go of
you see, it
is not really that difficult
just
dismiss it
say to him, you
are not welcome here
bye
bye
I
am free
