FEAR NOT!!! MATTHEW 1:18-24; LUKE 1:26-38 Fear is a mental, emotional reaction to a stimulus (word, thought, event, person, message, feeling) which suggests, even visualizes an unwanted result. Where does fear come from? Internal sources .... Adam (we are born separated from God).... The flesh .... My own tendencies, wiring, apart from the Holy Spirit’s control External sources .... The world system, its report and forecast .... Others .... The enemy Who/what energizes fear?(2 Timothy 1:7) How do I break the chains? Arm myself with God’s Resources .... Receive by faith, take an Aggressive Stand (see 1 Peter 5:7,8; Ephesians 6:10-18) Power .... Explosive, every enemy defeating power .... Vested in His authority!(Matthew 28:18)Jesus released His God-given authority through His words. We are to do so in His Name! (Mark 16:17) Love – God’s Love ....
