Do Not Fear

Fear is the opposite of faith.
We should be fearless no matter what; we should never fear.
What is Fear?
Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat.
Why do we fear?
We as people fear many things; some fear insects, heights, and death.
No matter what you fear, know that God has you and should not fear because the creator of everything is on your side.
There are a lot of fears out there, but God is bigger than them all
We must remember that
Fear of death
Fear doesn't have to rule your life; think about it 
What would you do if you had no fear?
Would You go after that promotion?
Would You ask that person you like out?
Would You do all you want to do?
Fear will stop your dreams, hopes and put your life on pause, stopping you from doing all you want and are capable of doing.
What do you fear?
Fear of failure
Fear of loneliness 
Be Fearless
A lot of people have a fear of the enemy/devil/satan
The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 that God didn't give us the spirit of fear,
Isaiah 41:10 says Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 
Joshua 1:9 says Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Those are just three examples of God telling us His children not to fear
We are strong because God gives us strength 
We shouldn't fear because God is on our side and God goes with us everywhere
We should never fear anything including the devil
Remember the bible tells us all we need to know

1 Corinthians 15:57 says, But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 
We are victorious because God gave us the victory through our Lord Jesus. 

James 4:7 says Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The definition of flee means to run away,
Why are we, as children of God, afraid of the devil, the devil is running away from us
The devil is under our feet

In Romans 16:20 it says The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1 Peter 5:8  it says Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
It says the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, not that he is a lion but he pretends he is, the devil is seeking someone to devour 
That means he can’t devour everyone, he is seeking, looking around, but trust in God, because God cares for you, God loves you, and You are a child of God
When I think of the devil, I think of Mushu from the Disney movie Mulan
When Mulan first meets Mushu, She is afraid. 
Musha seemed bigger in the shadow like the devil sometimes seems bigger in our minds.
Musha says he is a dragon, but he is so small that Mulan’s horse literary steps on him.
The devil wants us to fear him because it's hard to fight someone you are afraid of.
Get that fear out of your mind and know who you are
A child of the Almighty God
Here is a video of Mulan meeting Musha
