Fear is one of Satan’s greatest weapons. He uses it to afflict the minds of men. He uses it to oppress men and keep them in captivity (Hebrews 2:15)
As believers, we are only to fear God. In fact, that is the whole duty of man (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, Psalm 2:11, Psalm 111:10, Psalm 33:8, Psalm 34:9, 1 Peter 2:17, Revelation 14:7)
Any other fear outside the fear of God is influenced by Satan.
We are not to fear men, we are to honour them (Psalm 27:1, Psalm 118:6, Proverbs 29:25, Hebrews 13:6, 1 Peter 2:17)
We are not to fear for our lives, we are to entrust it into the hands of God (Matthew 6:25-33, Psalm 46:1-3, 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 16:24-26)
We are not to fear the devil and his demons, we are to subdue them (Psalm 23:4,Ephesians 6:11-12, Colossians 2:15, Luke 9:1)
Ungodly fear is not from God and as sons we should not be victims of it. We must stand on our guards and hold the word of God as our shield (2 Timothy 1:7, Romans 8:15)
