implying that Timothy needed the exhortation "to stir up the gift of God in him," being constitutionally "timid": "For God did not give us (so the Greek, namely, at our ordination or consecration) the spirit of fear." The spirit which He gave us, was not the spirit of timidity (literally, "cowardice," which is weakness), but of "power" (exhibited in a fearless "testimony" for Christ, 2Ti 1:8). "Power is the invariable accompaniment of the gift of the Holy spirit . Lu 24:49; Ac 1:8; compare Ac 6:6, "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit ," with 2Ti 1:8, "full of faith and power."
Fear is the result of "the spirit of bondage" (Ro 8:15). Fear within exaggerates the causes of fear without. "The spirit of power" is the spirit of man dwelt in by the Spirit of God imparting power; this power "casteth out fear" from ourselves, and stimulates us to try to cast it out of others (1Jo 4:18). faucet and brown...
there is no excuse for the ignorance of fear or faithless state your seeing today sis thanks God has supplied it all we just got to get away from the doubt mills thinking ..... it is impossible to please God without faith all doubt cast aside , one step at a time out side of faith sis is sin even our self me good made up stuff do you believe him ?You'll have to give up your self for him all of it..

Just Content to be a sonWith no ambition to
succeed
In realms of earth, and have no need
Of popularity's acclaim
Or
purchase for myself a name.
In serving Christ; for He must be
The Lord
throughout eternity,
To see His face and hear His voice
And do His bidding
is my choice.
Just content to be a son
A son of God
without a home
To stay or go to wait or roam
Hither and yon without a
plan
Led of the Spirit, not of man
I'll have no moment of praise
But
I'll have peace in God's own ways.
And though I tread this earthly sod,
I
walk with Him, I live in God.
Just content to be a son
Misunderstood and
yet I know
The path I take shall overflow
With life abundant and with
grace
I only need to run the race.
With patience, waiting, seeing
Him
Hearing the still small voice within,
If others want the earth to
quake.
I'll hear His voice when I awake.
Just content to be a son,
No
words to say, but what He says,
No work to do, but what He does,
No fear
or worry, anxious care.
I live with Him, His yoke I share.
No name to
make, He writes His own.
Upon the heart's pure glistening stone.
No life
to live, I lay it down
I'll share His Cross, and live again
join me? than you must go ..
