But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. - Matthew 1:20/Matthew 10:26-31/Luke 8:50/Luke 12:52
The Issue of Fear is addressed in great detail both in the Old and New Testament. Over and over God speaks of this spirit.  Fear is a demonic spirit that attacks us.  One person shared with me that the acroymn for FEAR is for False Evidence Appearing as Real.  God tells us to FEAR NOT.  The Father shares with us that it is His good pleasure to give us the KINGDOM. The song And Can it Be helps to gain perspective as it relates to the Spirit of FEAR. "No condemnation now I dread;Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th’eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. Bold I approach th’eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own"  Today, I encourage you to FEAR NOT for God has not given us a SPIRT of FEAR but of POWER, LOVE, and  SOUND MIND.
Blessings,
