Words of Wisdom

What is FEAR?  What is FAITH?

Fear is FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL, but FAITH cancels FEAR.

Faith is FORWARDING ALL ISSUES TO HEAVEN.

There is a spirit of faith….

“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:13

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” ~ Romans 8:15

Fear is bondage.  Fear is lack of faith.  Fear is FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL.  It is not real!  Fear stops faith!  We have not been given a spirit of fear.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” ~ 2 Timothy 1:7

WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SPIRIT OF POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND!

The Spirit of Faith is knowing.  We have heard and we believe it.  Now we speak it.  We must know it; we must hear it and believe it and we must speak it.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” ~ Romans 10:8-9

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” ~ Romans 10:10-11

Fear cancels faith.  Fear and faith are opposites. 

“Without faith it is impossible to please God;” ~ Hebrews 11:6

Therefore, fear displeases God.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” ~ Romans 10:17

Can we then say that fear is not believing God, not trusting Him?  Then can we say we have no fear, for Faith has replaced it!
