Feeling fear & being fearful are different. It's normal to feel fear in this world-God told us we would. Jesus said, "do not be afraid, I've overcome this world!" Being fearful is a spirit of fear that steals the peace promised by God.
Feeling fear notifies the internal security system God designed in every person-it sets off an alarm to signal danger in the mind like smoke sets off a fire alarm to signal a fire. It's God's design to alert us to danger so we will run to Him. We seek His safety & believe He will protect us although we may be engulfed in danger. We believe His protection keeps us being devoured by the world!
Being fearful results when a person struggles to believe God's promise of protection-they think God may or may not protect them. Their decision is based on what they're feeling-they prefer their feelings over God's truth which results in instability. Feelings change based on circumstances but God's truth remains constant despite changing circumstances.
Will you seek when you're feeling fear to come against being fearful? (2 Tim 1:7, Mt 8:26) LMM #fear #christianinsightforlife www.facebook.com/christianinsightforlife
