Let the fear vanish!

^"14 Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. ¹⁵ You didn't receive a spirit that makes you a slave to fear once again. Instead you received the Holy Spirit, who makes you God's child. By the Spirit's power we call God "Abba." Abba means Father. ¹⁶ The Spirit himself joins with our spirits. Together they give witness that we are God's children." Romans 8:14-16


I have been talking about "fear not". Why? because I think it is a good reminder. God says it 365 times in the Bible so it must be something that He wants. He does not want us to live in a spirit of Fear! God wants us living a life full of faith. Faith and hope in God! That HE CAN in our lives even when we cant! To know that God loves us so much that He will see us through even the hardest of circumstances! When we allow God's spirit to lead us we are living like His child! No matter where the Spirit brings us we will follow and we will obey and be an open and willing vessel ready to do God's will! When we received the Spirit of God, it wasn't a spirit of fear, it says above. It wasn't a spirit that would enslave us and cause fear to enter our lives. It was the Holy Spirit that we received who makes us God's Child! God's spirit in us should cause great faith to rise up! It should cause us to walk in a different way because God's spirit is not a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (1 Timothy 1:7). And because we have that Spirit in us, we can call to God like a child calls for their father! We are HIS child! He hears His children when we call! We can call Him father because we have God's spirit in us. 
When we allow our Spirit to join with God's spirit (when we believe in Jesus and what He did on the cross), that is how God can recognize us as His children! I love how it is put above, "The Spirit himself joins with our spirit." I am a very visual person and I can just see that in a picture in my head! God's Spirit joining with ours Spirit and causing fear to vanish and faith to rise!!! We are His children! Why fear when we are HIS! He loves us and wants good things for our lives! He has a specific call on each one of us, He has a purpose for each one of His children! We serve a GOOD God!!! Let God's Spirit rise us up in faith and let that fear vanish! Give the fears to Him! He wants to bear our burdens!!!
