  • VICTORY OVER FEAR:

    "The Effect Of Fear" Pt.2

    The physical affect of fear.

    Fear, just like anger, produces emotional stress, which some believe to account for two-thirds or more, (which is the last percentage that I received), of all physical illness today. One doctor, who is a medical director, stated that, "anxiety, (a form of fear), places more stress on the heart than, physical exercise and fatigue."

    Example: The one who sits down to pay the bills, and is suddenly overcome with fear, because, he or she, does not have enough money, is a candidate for stress. Hour after hour, as long as they continue to worry, their adrenal gland is pumping adrenalin into the bloodstream, a process, that apparently, over a period of time, can create much physical damage. If nothing else, the continual worrying, will eventually bring about depression. The Bible, teaches that, anxiety in the heart causes depression, [Proverbs 12:25, N. K. J.].

    A healthy mind at peace, is associated with a healthy body. Proverbs 14:30 (Amplified Bible), reads, "A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are life and health of the body."

    Note: You will have many opportunities to worry, just don't take them. The key to not worrying and overcoming anxiety is to, pray.

    Philippians 4:6-7, Paul said, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

    Note: Paul is teaching here, that, whenever we start to worry, become anxious or fearful, we're to pray, in faith, and the peace of God will protect our minds. The peace of God protects our mind from corrupting influences, such as fear, doubt, and unbelief, and helps us to keep our focus on God's truth.

    "Stay encouraged in your love walk and you will be empowered in your faith walk" [Galatians 5:6]
