Fear is the greatest killer of our dreams. When we fear we go against the natural law of faith that gives. The Bible is very clear on the impacts of fear and why we should not fear. God didn’t give us fear and so it is safe to say that fear is from the devil. 

As people who seek to advance into life and become better, we should avoid fear at all cost. When we fear we cripple our ability to achieve.
