Spirit of power

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1.7

Fear is a spirit that dwells in the minds of those who are distant from the Creator. However, this same spirit is empowering those who are possessed by it to do what is evil.
But the Spirit of God gives us power to overcome evil, love to love even our enemies and a sound mind, which means balance, not to be radical.

Spirit of God

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1.7

The Spirit of God does not work with cowards. That's why He never uses them. He used all kinds of people, including a prostitute named Rahab, a prostitute's son named Jephte, shepherds, fishermen and polititians -- but never coward people. And why? Because to conquer the Kingdom of God, you need to be a valiant person and have courage and determination to go all the way. The kind of attitude that goes against the spirit of a loser.

It's Written

"But He answered and said, 'It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God...Jesus said to him, 'It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God...Then Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” Matthew 4:4-10

Every word carries with itself a spirit. God's Word carries His Spirit, the devil's, His'. The Word of God brings a spirit of faith, conviction, courage, boldness -- God. The one of the devil brings a spirit of doubt, fear, cowardliness, incapacity. Which word has been guiding your mind?
