I understood that fear is the same spiritual force as faith but moving in reverse gear. Whereas religion is produced by hearing God’s words, fear comes from hearing and believing wrong things. Fear is a twisted form of faith; it is faith in the enemy’s ability to harm. Fear and faith are mutually exclusive and, like forward and reverse gear, cannot simultaneously operate in the same heart. Like a big red flag, the awareness of fear reminded me that I must not yield to it. By the grace of God, I declared aloud; I WILL NOT FEAR! With a clear mind now, I’m learning to respond with faith in the Word of God in my heart.
Fear vs. Faith
