FEAR IS A VIRUS

Psalms 94:19 NKJV
“In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.”

Let's give this enemy a name:
His name isn't Corona, no. He will use something like Corona as a vehicle, but he isn't Covid-19.
His name in Hebrew is called "Yare" and "Mĕguwrah"
In the Greek, his name is "Deilia", "Phobos" and "Phobeo"

In English, his name is Fear

FEAR IS A VIRUS

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

You can't see fear, but you can see the effects.

Fear freezes us (glued to FB or Fox News)
Fear makes us selfish
Fear makes us irrational

There are two things that kill fear 100%

LOVE LOVES FEAR TO DEATH

1 John 4:18
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”

Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT
Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you."

Isaiah 43:1
“But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine.”

FAITH YOUR FEAR

Psalm 18:2 NLT
The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Revelation 1:17 NKJV
“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.”

Psalm 23:4 NLT
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Daniel 3:17-18 NLT
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up."

Psalms 34:4 NKJV
“I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.”
