Clear Signs You Have A Spirit Of Fear And How To Be Freed

For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control. - 2 Timothy 1:7

In this verse, it's important to note how Paul draws a clear contrast between a spirit of fear and these three characteristics - power, love, self-control. This is like the litmus test of fear. If you can answer yes to the questions below, you have a spirit of fear. But there's hope. With God, there's always hope. His remedy for all sin and infirmity is still the same: His precious Son, Jesus Christ, and the power of His Word! 

This is a good reminder for us during this season of fear and hysteria. Whatever fear you're facing today, whether it's the COVID-19 disease or a lack-of-faith disease, the only way back is through the 'living and active' Word of God. On a similar note, I recently saved a good quote that I saw from a pastor I follow on Instagram. This might be helpful for someone, so here it is: Coronavirus can only cause the first death, which is physical death. But sin produces the second death, which is eternal death. Fear what is far greater (Steve Lawson).

As we will see, the Holy Spirit produces all three of these characteristics in us (power, love, self-control). Connect with the verses and Biblical action steps below and pray through to deliverance!
