A very patronising, largely unfunny, basically unwelcomed guest with an enormous capacity to cripple who we are emotionally, financially, physically and reveal how shallow we are spiritually by freezing our faith.

“Fear Not….. I am with thee”“Fear not….I am God”

Isaiah 59:19 (New International Version)

From the west, men will fear the name of the LORD, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory. For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the LORD drives along.

Page 25: HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

Isaiah 59:19 (Amplified Bible)So [as the result of the Messiah's intervention] they shall [reverently] fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight [for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives].
