If you fear God, you will fear nothing else. If you don't fear God, you will fear everything else. (Unknown source)

Definition - Ungodly Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc. whether real or imagined (Source: Dictionary)

Purpose - designed to cloud the mind to slow down or stop the Godly progress of a believer. The more fear is acted upon, the more it flourishes. It is self-perpetuating. Fear is allowed in this world because without fear, courage could not exist. Fear is allowed so that it can be overcome. The fear of the Lord replaces the spirit of fear.

Effects of Fear - Perfection, Sensitiveness, Nervousness, Tension, Anxiety, Worry, Nightmares, Fear of Man, People-pleasing, Panic Attacks (Source - Deliverance Prayer sheet given to me)

Overcoming Fear - Sometimes fear is overcome by new wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 says "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." So, when we fear God, he gives us new wisdom. When we have the wisdom to take authority over the next situation, then fear has to depart. However, sometimes wisdom is not always available to us and we must step out in faith. Therefore, in faith, courage must rise up in us if we are to overcome the next fear. In each instance, ungodly fear must be replaced with something of God.
