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 does not pass on fear to us. That is never from Him (not to be confused with the fear of God, which is necessary; we’re talkin’ fear of man or circumstances).
The Spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind is from God. It’s His Spirit.
The POWER is God’s; the LOVE is God’s; and the SOUND MIND is God’s.
That means we put off our fleshly person and put on Christ. We access the Spirit of God within us and USE IT.
Amen!! Thanking God for using you as a vessel to share with us His words that feed our Spirit, Soul, and Body!!

May we be bold and confident in our salvation. The Holy Spirit gives us the spirit of confidence so that we can approach the thrown of GRACE with that confidence and not shame. Oh that we walk closely with HIM!
