2 Timothy 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
 
 
Dread is also a form of fear.  Jesus was constantly telling people to FEAR NOT, FRET NOT!
 
 
Fear saps our strength and causes us to submit to things we never would, if we were not in fear. There is no love in fear and no fear in love. They are opposite emotions and mutually exclusive (1 Jn. 4:18:There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. ) Fear also causes us to think emotionally and not logically. Fear is deadly and something that we should not tolerate in our lives. Fear activates the power of the devil similar to the way faith releases the power of God.
