Fear is conditional!
That is good news.  Fear only works in the right conditions.
Fear needs a dark and stormy night. Fear needs secluded woods. Fear needs a deserted house with lots of spider webs. Fear needs the right conditions.
If you can change the conditions you can change the effect of fear.
The condition that fear capitalizes on most is LACK.
Lack is Fear’s open door.

* a LACK of knowledge
* a LACK of resources
* a LACK of strength

Where is the lack in your life? That is the open door for fear to enter.
If Fear attacks from a place of lack then you need to counteract from something that does not lack.
If Fear attacks from a conditional place then you need to resist fear with something that is unconditional.
Jesus does not LACK!  And the savior gives us 3 things that do not LACK and will defeat fear.

* Faith
* Hope
* Love

1 Fear title
We are in the 2nd week of our fear series.
Last week we told you that Fear positions itself behind us
F1 3 Fear Positions itself Behind us
Fear likes to lurk. Fear likes to haunt. Fear hangs out where you can’t see it, but where you can absolutely FEEL it.
This is where all the WHAT IF fears are. What is I get sick, What if I fail, What if other people think bad things…
We have an opportunity to change positions with fear.
F1 4 Change Positions
You can face your fear. Facing your fear takes away the spooky power it holds over you.
Don’t try to hide from your fear. Don’t try to outrun your fear. That doesn’t work in the horror movies and it does not work in real life either.
But don’t try to face fear on your own. Make the Lord you Shepherd.
F1 7 God in Front
God’s Word says the Lord will go before you.  He will fight your fear.
God’s Word also says the Lord will be your rear guard. You are protected front & back by the Lord your Shepherd.  His goodness and love will follow after you all the days of your life.

Today I want to tell you that Fear needs the right conditions.
F2 2 Fear needs the right conditions
Fear doesn’t work in every setting. Do you agree?
Fear needs a dark and stormy night. Fear needs secluded woods. Fear needs a deserted house with lots of spider webs. Fear needs the right conditions.
Imagine a dark secluded alley. You hear strange sounds. The suddenly you see… a ballerina eating a pizza. That is unexpected but it is not scary. Agreed?
Before the ballerina with the pizza showed up it was scary. The information of the ballerina did not fulfill the conditions that fear needs to thrive. In most cases more information leads to less fear. The added info changes the condition.
Fear is conditional. You know this. You may not have it defined well but you know that there are some things that are not scary when you turn on the lights.
