With God's support, we can boldly go out and proclaim the good news, with nothing to fear from any human or spiritual power. "Spirit of fear" in the Bible: 2 Timothy 1:7 http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%201:7&version=31 2009-07-22T16:57:20-05:00 The NIV renders "spirit of fear" as "spirit of timidity." In 2 Timothy we are told that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but rather he gave us a spirit of power, love and self-discipline.
