For God hath not give us a spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7 KJV)

These are encouraging words for challenging times! Did you know that fear is a spirit? Did you know that each day you can make a decision to either yield to fear, or to the power of GOD? I am amazed how many times the phrase “fear not” or “do not fear” appears in the bible. I counted 84 specific instances where these phrases are followed immediately by a promise or reward if we do not fear!

I want to encourage you today to research these 84 bible promises for yourself until your heart is full of all the promises you need!

FEAR NOT, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee! (1Chron 28:20 KJV emphasis mine)
