Receiving a Sound Mind: Overcoming Fear | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

"For God has not gives us a spirit of fear..." (2 Timothy 1:7). What is a spirit of fear? It's not talking about the demon spirit of fear. "For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry out 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God," (Romans 8:15-16). A spirit of fear is a spirit of bondage. It's an orphan spirit, a spirit of slavery. This is why it was so difficult for the Israelites in the wilderness. They had been slaves for 400 years. They had been delivered from slavery, but still held onto the fear. Often, we do the same. We’ve been born again, but we hold onto the patterns of fear that once ruled our lives.

 

Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues the series on Sound Mind with a message about breaking free from the orphan spirit and stepping in to our true lives.
