If Faith is believing in God, what’s Fear?

What is Fear? Opposite of FAITH.

We learned that Faith is believing in God, trusting Him and His Word. So then fear is not believing in God, Not Trusting Him or His Word.

What comes to mind when you think of fear?
Scary things
darkness
being alone
death

So let’s talk about these things as God see’s them.

SCARY THINGS: probably unknown, something you hear, can’t see, or ugly figure.
God has given you tools to use so you don’t have to be afraid.
God didn’t give you fear. He gave you Faith.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.  God knew you would need His Spirit in you to have power over fear, He works through Love and you can control it.

Darkness: Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest place, I won’t have fear, BECAUSE God is always with me.  You don’t have to see God to know He is in your heart, like Heaven you know its there because the Bible tells the TRUTH.

Being Alone: Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous; don’t be afraid. For it is the LORD your God who goes with you; He will not leave you.
Death: John 14:1-6 Jesus is talking to His Disciples
Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. Trust in God, and trust in Me. My father (GOD) has a house in Heaven with many rooms. I would not lie to you!!! (BECAUSE GOD NEVER EVER LIES)       I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you with me, so that you can be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Where will you go when you leave earth? If Jesus lives in your heart, HEAVEN!!!

So anything that brings fear, makes you afraid is not from God, you don’t have to put up with it. You ask God to help you, or if it’s a place you don’t want to be tell a parent, adult. If it’s a movie turn it off!! If you are the adult follow the same instructions!!!
