I remember when we were thinking of living in Canada, the laws of that country stated that it was a crime to do something that would cause harm to another person, but neglecting to do something that resulted in another person’s harm was equally as criminal. Take a moment to think about that in light of the numbers of people in our generation who are about to perish without God. So many are living under the illusion that mankind can pursue his own objectives, follow his own reasoning, and still manage to arrive at some utopian end. Yet, in reality, the end that awaits those who choose to live without God is one of such terror that our minds cannot even begin to comprehend it.
Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 
Fear is a trick of the enemy that causes doubt which can lead to weakness because you have no control. Fear leads to a lot of failures that can stop the flow of God and the anointing. These are the things of the devil that can lead you to depression, destruction and even death. The Holy Spirit is the One who gives us spiritual gifts and empowers us to use them. God's spirit does not impart fear or cowardice, but power, love, and a sound mind (meaning self-control).
EVENT: I want to invite you to a new and exciting event, the Shavah Rally. Shavah is a Hebrew word which means to cry for help. The term is first used in the biblical book Chapter Two of the book of Exodus. There we see the Hebrews crying out to God for help because they are being brutally oppressed by the most powerful nation on the earth, Egypt.
