2. GOD’S PROVISIONS TO OVERCOME FEAR.

3. 2 Timothy 1:6-7: “For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is

4. in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of self- discipline.”

5. His Spirit Will Give You Power.

6. James 4:7-“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

7. His Spirit Will Give You Love.

9. His Spirit Will Give You Self-Control.

10. FAN THE FLAME TO UNLOCK THESE PROVISIONS!

11. 2 Timothy1:12-“Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he

12. is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.”

14. God is already there because He is a God who goes before His people.

15. God promises to be with you no matter what happens to you in the future.

18. Courage is fear that has said its prayers. (Karle Wilson Baker)
