FEAR NOT!
The Word of God is very emphatic about not to fearĀE (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.
