FEAR NOT!
The Word of God is very
emphatic about ‘not to fear’.
(2 Tim 1:7 KJV)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and
of a sound mind.
The opposite of faith is fear. The devil uses fear to attack us in every
area of life. In this message we want to hear the Word of God beginning
with the birth of Jesus through the Word hearing God continuing to tell us “Fear
Not”. God wants us to walk in faith not fear. Faith brings the
blessings from God while fear causes us to walk in defeat.
