Solving the Problem of Fear

📖 WHAT THIS MESSAGE IS ABOUT: FEAR — AND GOD’S SOLUTION 📖

This message addresses one of the most common—and most destructive—problems in the Christian life: fear.

Fear is not treated as a harmless emotion or a personality trait. Scripture identifies fear as a sin that contradicts God’s plan, neutralizes Bible doctrine in the soul, and robs believers of stability, courage, and spiritual momentum.

In this study, fear is shown to include:

• Worry

• Anxiety

• Panic

• Emotional reaction

• Fear of adversity

• Fear of death

• Fear of people and circumstances

The message makes it clear: no believer can execute God’s plan while living in fear.

Rather than offering emotional reassurance, this teaching presents God’s divine solution—the pre-designed plan of God and the problem-solving devices given to Church Age believers. Fear is replaced not by denial or hype, but by confidence built on Bible doctrine.

Key truths covered include:

• Why God commands believers not to fear

• How fear destroys sound judgment and decision-making

• Why fear is blasphemous—it insults God’s integrity

• How fear leads to self-induced misery and divine discipline

• Why fear of death destroys capacity for life

The solution is not emotional strength, human courage, or leaning on people—it is:

➡️ Filling of the Holy Spirit

➡️ Faith-rest in God’s character

➡️ Doctrinal orientation

➡️ Personal love for God

➡️ Occupation with Jesus Christ

Using passages from Deuteronomy, Isaiah, Psalms, 1 Peter, 2 Timothy, and 1 John, this message shows how mature believers eliminate fear—not by avoiding problems, but by thinking doctrine under pressure.

Fear is exposed as the enemy of spiritual growth.

Courage is revealed as doctrine in the soul.

This message is about learning how to live—and even face death—without fear, by resting in who God is and what He has already provided.
