What are you afraid of?

2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

~God’s reality regarding our situations~

Matthew 17:16, 19-21

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”…¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”²⁰ He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

 What God says about your situations:

Matthew 10:1 - Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

Matthew 10:5a, 6-8 ^{- 5} These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions:…⁶ Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. ⁷ As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,^[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

Luke 10:17 - ¹⁷ The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
