Fear Is Satanic

II Timothy 1:7 : "God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, of love, and a sound mind."

Fear, someone said, arises from the absence of love. Religions suggest that we should love and we should love all. The Bible tells us to love our enemies. The horizontal love for men and the vertical love for God is symbolized by the cross.

In my opinion fear is not just the absence of love, but the result of diminished faith as well. Most of us believe In god. We also believe that God is good. If God is good and is in control of our lives then why do we still fear the future? We are gripped by fears of all kinds, we fear the future, we fear not having what we wish to in the future and some of us even have the fear of fear, phobaphobia as it is called.

We need to realize that God doesn't want us to fear. We must have faith and it must reflect in our character. God made Adam in his own image and we being the children of Adam must try to walk in the image and we must walk in and by the word of God.

The easiest way to start doing that is by listening to our conscience and by keeping faith in the spirit at all times. Difficult times tend to make us weak, they encourage us to allow doubt to set in. That's exactly the time when we must make a conscious effort and not allow ourselves to be ruled by our carnal mind. We have to make the choice. We have to choose to be happy, else we shall never run out of excuses for being unhappy.

In the book of John when Jesus converted five pots of water into wine, the first miracle, it was the best wine ever served. It clearly implies that the best has been saved for the last. Instead of being unhappy about not having something today, we must feel confident of getting the best that has been saved for us.

God has a plan for everyone's life.

In the Mahabharat is has been said:

Fate takes away all reason,
As glare blinds the eye,
Man bound as with nooses,
Obeys the placer's way.

Still we have the power of reason and the freedom of choice. If you choose to die God may not necessarily stop you from dying, but you shall be judged. If we walk in the word of god, listen to our conscience, have faith in the spirit of the universe then we shall get what we should at the time when we need to receive it.

Why should you fear at all? If God can look after the gentle lilies in the field that are here today gone tomorrow, will he not look after you?

If you keep faith in the spirit, if you are righteous, if you choose to have love and peace in your heart and mind, if you are not governed by the desires and conflicts of mind, then the whole universe shall conspire in your favor. Then you just need to plant the seed of your desire in the pure field of potentiality and the spirit will make sure that your desire is realized.

However we must have selfless love in our heart, the right intention and faith.

We must refuse to fear and allow not ourselves to be in that bondage. Once we do that, the power of the spirit shall be in our favor.
