Faith and Football Week #4 – Fear
🏈🏈🏈🏈
WoW Football is getting more and more competitive and REAL as we get into Week 4 of Faith & Football!
This week will be all about the four letter word called “Fear”
Fun Fact: Did you know that in those early days of football touchdowns were worth four points, while field goals were worth five? Nothing to worry about – As for some teams, kickers are still the highest scorers.

If you’re reading this, you have probably felt fear at one time or another. Somewhere along the way you learned to fear.
Did you know that babies are born without fear? They learn fear through experience. Fear is a learned response. The scripture bears witness to the fact that fear is learned. II Timothy 1.7 teaches us that God did not give us a spirit of fear. Fear is not given by God and is not from God.
Someone said fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real. It is a true fact that what God gave us is true, and since God did not give us fear, fear must be false evidence from a false source.
What God DID give us is power, love and a sound mind!
HE gave us power over fear.
HE gave us love which dispels fear.
HE gave us a sound mind which is free from fear.
Next time fear knocks at your door, you declare, “fear, you are not from God, therefore, I do not receive you. You are false, from a false source. I have power over you and I walk in love. Get out and go back where you came from. I have a sound mind, free from fear!”
Amen!
