Fear

Fear is the most used and the most effective of the storms in the devils toolbox. Most fears are small fears.
-Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
-Fear is a perversion of faith. 
-Fear is faith in failure.
-Fear is based on assumption. Faith is based on what we believe in.

Proverbs 23:7 "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."

Job 3:25 "For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me."

Fear produces 2 reactions:
-You run away.
-You become paralyzed. Paralysis is what the Devil wants to happen. This keeps us from being a doer of the Word.

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

God has given us weapons to fight the storms that fear brings. We must receive them to use them.
