NOTE: Satan cannot do anything to us apart from fear, any more than God can do something for us apart from faith.

1st John 5: 18b… he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. (NKJV)

Faith moves God because faith is in God. Fear moves Satan because fear is in Satan. Fear does not come from God.  There is no fear in God for God Is Love. Fear comes from Satan for Satan is Fear. 

1st John 4: 16… God is love (NKJV) 

1st John 4: 18… There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear (NKJV) 

2nd Timothy 1: 7  For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)

(Amplified Classic) [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

Isaiah. 54: 14 – 15  In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. (15) Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. (NKJV)

God Is Love, Light, and Faith.

Satan is Hate, Darkness, and Fear. 

What is faith? What is fear? Faith is a Spiritual force. Fear is a Spiritual force.  They are directly opposite each other.  Both are governed by Spiritual Laws. Faith is governed and works by the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus.  Fear is governed and works by the Law of Sin and Death.                   

Romans 8: 1 – 2 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (NKJV)

Romans 8: 5 – 6 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. (6) For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (NKJV)

Fear, worry, deception, and strife are the Satan’s big guns, his big weapons. They are involved in just about everything he does.

As long as we are part of this world, at one time or another, no matter who we are, no matter how young or old we are, we are all going to have to deal with fear in our lives.

How we respond to that fear makes all the difference. How do we deal with fear? When the opportunity comes along to fear we must resist it.

Fear does not come from God. God is not the author of fear.  God Is Love. 1st John 4: 7 – 8, 16

2nd Timothy 1: 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (NKJV)

When the Bible talks about fearing God it is Talking about reverential fear which is one of the definitions found in the dictionary.

 Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Fear:

1a: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger

b(1): an instance of this emotion (2): a state marked by this emotion

2: anxious concern : SOLICITUDE

3: profound reverence and awe especially toward God

4: reason for alarm : DANGER

Psalm 56: 10 – 11 (Amplified Classic) In God, Whose word I praise, in the Lord, Whose word I praise, (11) In God have I put my trust and confident reliance; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

All fear is self-centered.  It always focuses on self. Love is others centered.  It always focuses on others. 

Whenever our focus is on ourselves rather than others, we have the foundation necessary to produce iniquity and sin.  That foundation of iniquity and sin opens the door for fear to function and rule.
