1 John 4:18-20 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love [a]turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear [b]brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].
19 We love Him, because He first loved us.
20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [[c]in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen.

Amen these are 9 steps that we need to read and do a self-examination as Psalms 139:23-24 tells us to do so we can remove any of these 9 steps of removing fear once and for all. My God, Glory and Hallelujah to God.
Praise God for the nine steps of letting go of fear, this is much needed in the body of Christ amen.
Amenn wow im going to be rereading this one here amen help us Lord
So many people suffer from these 9 fears and being that we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus we can be victorious. I have personally dealt with some of these fears and when you do not know or have the understanding of the Word you can succumb to these spirits. So many live a life of fear and that is why I believe there is mental illness and issues with people being functional adults in society. Great teaching.
