2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind
Friday evening after the first session of a women's conference I attended, (long story - I worked the sound equipment, they supplied cheesecake) I decided to take the stairs. I walked down this hallway, which was quite dark. Chills went up the back of my neck (I shave my head- the hair can't stand up) and I resisted the feeling of fear confessing that scripture and rebuking the enemy. The stairs at the end of the hall were unfamiliar, but they went down. They ended on the second floor, but I was headed to the first. As I walked up the hall on the second floor I was blessed with a fantastic gallery of black and white photographs, and discovered the old chapel. You'll see it in a couple other shots. It is now used for wedding receptions and such. Very ornate and beautiful.
Since we know that God has not given you a spirit of fear, it must be coming from someone else - the enemy. Fear is the opposite of faith, as Jesus said "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?(Mark 4:40) (Mat 8:26) ; also see Rev 2:10
When you feel fear, rebuke it, press through, trust God, believe and confess His word. It's likely the devil is trying to keep you from a blessing - unless that fear involves sky diving without a parachute or something foolish like that.
