God created us with emotions, including the ability to experience fear. In fact, the bible mentions fear more than any other emotion.
Why is God so interested in whether His people are experiencing fear? Although we know that these emotions are necessary for our survival, yet the bible commands us not to fear.
Instead, we are commanded to fear God. Isn’t this an apparent contradiction?
When persons give in to fear, many are unaware that they are disobeying God. So being fearful is a sin.How then do we overcome our fears?
This talk will attempt to answer the above questions, as well as the
following topics:
• Anxiety prone personalities: are you one of them?
• The fear of ill- health
• The fear of death
• The fear of adversity
• The fear of rejection
• Medically unexplained symptoms
