Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 4 March 2023 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Dealing With The Emotional Disease Of Fear
TOPIC: Dealing With The Emotional Disease Of Fear (Seeds Of Destiny 4 March 2023)
SCRIPTURE: For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Job 3:25.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fear comes into play when someone feels threatened that danger, pain or harm is ahead.
MESSAGE:
It is well known that man is a tripartite being. That is, man is three in one – man is a spirit that lives in a body and has a soul (or mind).
Now, all these three realms of man’s being can be affected by diseases. The disease of the spirit is called sin. The disease of the body is physical bodily ailment while the disease of the mind is mental ailment.
The mind also has three departments, and they are: the will, the intellect and the emotion.
In our study today, we shall look at one example of diseases that affect the emotion. They are called emotional diseases, and today, we shall look at the emotional disease called FEAR.
1 John 4:18 says, There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment..
Fear is an emotional disease because fear is associated with emotional torment and trauma.
Fear has the capacity to attract the physical equivalent of what you fear (Job 3:25). For instance, when you give yourself to the fear of diseases, you attract the diseases that you fear. Similarly, when you are afraid of premature death, you attract it. But that will not be your portion in Jesus Name!
The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary defines fear as an unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain or harm. Fear comes into play when someone feels threatened that danger, pain or harm is ahead.
Now, one major cause of fear is repeated personal or family cycle or history of negativity or adversity.
If there is a negative personal or family cycle or history, it can be a cause for fear.
Beloved, my counsel is, refuse to fear because God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Remember this: Fear comes into play when someone feels threatened that danger, pain or harm is ahead.
