The Lord has not given us the spirit of fear to fear the devil and his host, but the spirit of love to show concern for the dying world with understanding and self control.

God has given us the power to stand up for our faith in Him, not being self-centered in His worship and our dealings with our fellow Christians, in the right frame of mind.

Fear is borne out of inward (introspective) thinking. God has called us to be outward focused. His command was to love God and love people, while the devil would have us self conscious & self consumed to try and thwart the ability of the believer to fulfill the mandate set for us by Christ. Applying the rest of the scripture "power, love and sound mind" will over-ride and dispel fear, leaving us to be and do in the freedom of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Lonnie, we accept Christ and God knew we would! That is what predetermination is! God knows who is or is not receptive to the call to repentance!

Opposite of fear overwelming confidence.Having the love to be concern for the well being of others not being comsume withself. And having that peace which surpasses all understang.

Lyle-
Sovereign God's is the only "freewill."
The Bible only concerns itself with two classes of men...Elect and non-elect; dead in Adam, or redeemed (Born Again) from that first death (Rev.20:5&6). The "will" exercised by men in either of those kingdoms is predicated (based on) upon the governing aegis of either camp.
With the single exception of God-In-Christ, death can't choose life, nor the pot the Potter. He chose His eternal family before earth was created, therefore--neither sin nor merit were factors in His Sovereign Election.
As above, so below. Babies do not participate in their birth...it happens to them. So it is with spiritual birth... being "Born Again." God chooses when He will redeem individuals, and His sovereign grace (choice) is irresistable at that time. Man does not have the capacity "to choose autonomously against God's eternal purposes."
Freedom is limited wherever there is a boarder, and both kingdoms have boarders. Only God does not. Men in either kingdom are subjects of, and to, the nature of that kingdom. Human will, therefore, is better described as "Predicatedwill" vrs. "Freewill."
All praise, honor, glory and worship then are due the incomprehensible, sovereign God-In-Christ alone, Who truly is both Alpha...and Omega.

It is so important for grandmothers to mentor their grandchildren, as Lois did for Timothy. Also spiritual fathers are very important, as Paul was to his son in the ministry Timothy. Paul encourages him to not be ashamed of the testimony of Jesus, and to be a partaker in the afflictions of the ministry. Thank God he has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. By this we can complete the ministry that is given by the laying on of hands. Also we must thank God Jesus abolished death on the cross, and brought light, and immortality to light thru the Gospel. Thank God for faithful grandmothers, and mothers as we prepare to celebrate Mother's Day.

The. Spiritual gifts(prophecy, healing, words of knowledge, prophecy), can be transferred by the laying on of hands.

Paul recieved God Mercy and Grace at a time in his Life when he probably thought he didnt need anyone.
