Yes I feel fear even now. I know God’s got this, but it seems natural. The evil we face reminds me of the fear as we head into the beast to rescue our comrades when two Blackhawks went down and we will assist withdrawal of our fellow Rangers by infiltrating with massive firepower and then establishing an effective area defense, load the casualties and then ex-filtrate back to base. Regardless of the fear any had felt. They pushed all reservations aside and were silently wondering only one question – “when are we finally going in?” One whole person element that helps now in this Army of God is the fellow Christians who are alert to this evil. I just hope I can be brave as He says we can. God bless and thanks

But remember...God did not GIVE you fear...but God did give you the wisdom on HOW to USE fear. Fear when when combined with wisdom will keep you alive.

Yes thanks for the reminder. I do not want to be one described in the Bibles for heart failing due to fear. Actually I have no fear for myself... when was rolling into the Battle of Mogadishu I had fear but now in this spiritual battle I am good but mostly I fear for my family and friends and each person I see all day...fear they will be lost forever
