FEAR
According to Wikipedia, fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat. It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger. Worth noting is that fear almost always relates to future events, such as worsening of a situation, or continuation of a situation that is unacceptable. Fear could also be an instant reaction to something presently happening. Fear has several very detrimental effects on the body. We have been conditioned to allow fear these responses. Over the next few days we will discuss how we change our conditioned fear responses.
Many of us are aware that because of our relationship to God (He is our Father and we are His children) we are freed from Fear. God is love and there is no fear in Him. 1st John 4:8 and 4:18. He has made us partakers of His divine nature. 1 Peter 2:4 As a result, we are a partaker of everything that He is.
Now even though we have learned how to allow our spirit the ability to control our body, our repetitive conditioning as it relates to fear and the aftermath of the fear creates automated responses in our body and our mind that are harmful. Through this process we are going to learn some new responses and exercises that will teach us how to become more accustomed to using those responses so that fear becomes a tool instead of a weapon.
