WEEKLY STIMULANT - FEAR TORMENTS
“………but perfect love casteth out
fear:
because FEAR HATH TORMENT…..”
~ 1 John 4:18 KJV
(Emphasis mine)
The Holy Bible says; Fear has Torment.
What is Fear?
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines fear as “To
be afraid and worried”, “To expect or worry about (something bad or unpleasant)
What is Torment?
“Something that causes extreme physical and mental pain” -
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
Fear has the capacity to inflict physical and mental pain on
the individual that harbors it.
A Bible student will want to ask; Why then did the Bible say
“The
fear of the Lord is the Beginning of wisdom: ……………” ~ Proverbs 9:10A
We can call this “POSITIVE FEAR” a reverence for God
Almighty that makes you do the right thing, no matter the circumstance, like
Joseph said “……..how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?”
it is this Godly reverence, a prioritizing of the relationship with the creator
we call Positive Fear.
It is the negative fear that has torment. A wise man once said “If you are free of Fear
(negative fear), you are free to live”
At the end of these series, you will be free of fear and you
can live the life of your dreams, the lack of material substance
notwithstanding. There is one commodity that is so essential, yet so elusive;
that commodity is Peace of mind and that you get as we embark on this Journey
together.
