CONQUERING FEAR

Fear is natural. Fear wants to take control when we realize that we are not in control, and that our safety and lifestyles are also dependent on decisions of others.
1John 4:18 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
Scripture shows how to have victory over fear. Although fear is natural, we have a supernatural God that loves us. Upon receiving the gift of salvation, every believer also receives the Holy Spirit of the supernatural God, and He is Love.
Fear twists us until we are tied in knots by terrifying feelings of impending disaster. This fear is torment, anguish, pain and misery; and completely unnecessary!

God says that we do not need to live in fear and His perfect love is the answer to debilitating fear. Yet fear blocks our way to victorious love. So how do we get to the other side of fear where love can obtain victory?
Faith – Knowing and believing the God of love, through Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 13:13 "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity [love.]"
