The Age of Fear. Never, to my knowledge, have we been so bombarded on all sides with so many potentially fear-inducing situations. At the same time, if we absorb it all, we may succumb to anxiety, depression, or even physical sickness. Fear-inducing situations are not limited to the nightly news. All too often, they hit home.
Fears come in many sizes and shapes.
For example, there is the fear of losing one's job, the fear of illness, or the fear of rejection. Some grapple with the fear of heights, the fear of closed spaces, or the fear of insects. Whatever the fear, one thing for certain is that it does not come from God. Fear is one of the two basic spiritual forces that operate in the earth. It has its roots in Satan.
