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. All fear originates with him and is fueled by him. Fear is based on a lie. That lie is that Satan is more powerful than God. When we believe Satan instead of God, then we live in fear.
