Confessions of an Evil Spirit - The Spirit of Fear's Side of the Story
The Spirit of Fear specializes in creating a paralyzing fear that stops people from living the life God planned for them. He confirms that he does not come from God, but gives weakness and confused thoughts instead of the power, love, and sound mind that God gives. Fear takes many forms, including Anxiety, Phobia, Fear of Failure, and the snare of the Fear of Man. Examples of his torment include the ten fearful spies, who saw themselves as "grasshoppers," and Peter, who sank when he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at the waves. The spirit is defeated by perfect love, because "perfect love casteth out fear," and by faith in God's promises to strengthen and uphold believers.
