Several words in the New Testament Greek reveal that God expects His children to have great faith and bold courage in these tumultuous times we’re living in.  But He doesn’t expect us to have this courage on our own.  He has actively equipped us through the inner might and inner workings of His Spirit.  This equipment empowers us to be a fearless church, and a beacon of light to a world full of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety. VF-2463. 2 Timothy 1:7.
