The world loves the spirit of fear.That is the reason there are so many television shows and movies that feed on a spirit of fear and why so many people flock to see these scream fests.These things feed on the fear of all mankinds of things-diseases,disasters,monsters,murderrs and other mayhem.
Part of the appeal of these things is that feeling that what is happening on the screen could happen to you.
Fear is a powerul force,almost destroying things on is way like hurricane.It should be obvious that there are somethings we should be afraid of,things that is normal to fear.But there are fears God doesn’t want us to have,and those are the ones we need to address .
Poll and research done in early fifties showed that death was the population number one fear.But as sad and debilitating as the fear of dying can be,what’s even worse is that so many people today are afraid to live.Contemporary people fear a downturn in the economy;they fear not having job;they fear losing thier income;they fear the state of that debts;they fear rejection;they fear getting sick.You need to write a book just to catalog the many fears people struggle with today.
Fear feeds on our limitations and insecurities,keeping us away from being and doing all that God has created us for.It begins as a vicious cycle that continues feeding on itself until our fears paralyze us and make us all but useless-to ourselves,communities,others and to God.It is an enemy within that should be conquered with no pity.It grows and if left unattended to it will DESTROYS her victim.NO WONDER EVENTY PERCENT OF DEATH IS TRACEABLE TO FEAR
