There are many verses in God's Word regarding
fear.
He admonishes over and over to ‘Fear Not!’ The reason for that is
that He is not the author of fear. Fear comes from the kingdom of
darkness and the ruler of darkness. When we succumb to fear we are
trusting in the enemy instead of God, the Father.
Verses to look up, study, meditate on to overcome fear: Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.(Because He is ever present, we need fear no evil; He knows everything that is happening to us and He can make it right if we trust Him to do so.) (God is able to deliver us from every situation if we trust instead of fear. Fear is the opposite of faith; when we fear we are lining ourselves up with the enemy who established fear in mankind. When we reject fear and go in faith, we are agreeing with God instead. This allows God to work on our behalf for He cannot go against our choices.) (Awesome words and difficult to believe; however, if we let Him develop our faith to that degree, it will be so. The developing of our faith puts us through trying times but it is the only way He can train us to trust Him. If we are never put to a test of faith, we can never show Him that we have that faith.) (There are many examples of God’s vengeance on behalf of those whom He called His own. There are many examples of miraculous happenings to protect their lives. What has been done for one has to be done for anyone that asks it of Him because He treats everyone fairly and without favoritism.) (He Himself settles us into what makes us strong; we cannot complete any good work by ourselves. We are totally dependent on Him to do it for us; our work is to agree with Him and keep ourselves from wavering.) (These people were delivered out of bondage in Egypt; our former kingdom is referred to as ‘Egypt’ as a spiritual deliverance. So we can believe this word as being spoken directly to us.) (We are highly favored over animals because His breath is within us. We are extensions of Him and even as our children are extensions of ourselves and we highly value them, so are we to Him.) (Abba is like our ‘Daddy’ which is more personal than father. He wants us to think of Him as a personal father or daddy who loves us and protects us; who gives us whatever we need and even what we want. However, He does know what we can handle so not everything comes our way; He does not want to spoil us, He wants us to mature.) (Because God is so pure and so holy; without sin, He cannot look upon us without destroying us. He had to send a perfect man to keep the law, take the punishment due to the law-breakers by being sacrificed and shedding His sinless blood to cover transgressions. This is why we come to Him through Jesus who is the Mediator between a Perfect God and imperfect man. So we come to the Father with petitions, praise, and thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name who has paved the way so that we are not destroyed by holiness which is a burning fire.) (This is part of the wonderful gifts that are bestowed upon us when we move from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.) (Even if man kills our bodies, our spirits go to the Father and we are with Him living in a state of peace and glory such as man cannot even begin to contemplate so why fear? Death of the body is not the death of our spirits.) (Only God can love perfectly but He gives us the gift of His love so that we can perfect and strive to be like Him. He rules in love; the enemy rules by enticing us into the pleasures of sin which destroy us. Then he rules with a heavy unmerciful hand.)
