Fear is what the devil uses to manipulate our minds and lure us to do evil or not to achieve something important. I feel that everything happening in the world currently is a sign of end time. It is written in the bible that in end time, countries will fight against countries and peace will be hard to find. This is what I feel is happening currently and that is why the war in the Middle East is getting more serious. Russia and Ukraine war is ongoing for a while now.
Fear is negative and causes us to do things the easy way without some demanding risk, fear of trying and failing. I don't know what spirit is of fear, be it devil or any spirit behind such killer attribute is a different mind to change things. The strong men we see in societies todays did not get there because they were knowledgeable than others but the only reason is that they are capable of going through hard times, steady attempts and repeated failure, at the end of the day they achieve what they want by putting fear aside.
