In the book 2 Timothy, the apostle Paul writes his last letter to his spiritual son before he is martyred. In Chapter 1 of verse 7, Paul writes about being bold and courageous through tough times, persecution and distress. He begins by saying that God did not give us a spirit of fear and timidity and he addresses fear as a spirit. When we understand that fear is a spirit, then we understand that fear can only be overcome through the Spirit of the Living God. We do not wrestle with flesh and blood but against principalities and powers. In a time where the nations are raging, world economy is unstable and the morality of society is crumbling, fear looms over us seeking to devour our body, soul and spirit. However, the Lord has given us keys to overcome fear! We’re no longer slaves to fear!
