FEAR means ignorantly limiting yourself to the world view.it means limiting yourself only to the knowledge of the world.
Prov.2:5-6 gives a clearer picture of Rom.12:2. you can't understand the FEAR of God without finding any adequate knowledge of Him(i.e renewing your mind always).
NOTE: Every mind is bounded to fear in one way or the other,but the difference between a matured and a baby Christian is the Holy spirit they carry,amount of knowledge/quality of God's word they have in them,and their faith level that's all.
Every FEAR starts from the MIND.
The mind is a battle Field and the engine of life, the flesh and the spirit is answerable to the mind and as such,you can control if you want the things of the spirit or flesh.Read Rom.12:2.
Every FEAR comes as a result of Information forming an action,as a result of the image processed in the mind.
Listen! the mind is like a computer.When we were little we defined computer as a device that accepts,process and gives out the desired result put in.Exactly,that's how the mind works.
What you don't give to the mind,it can't accept.What you don't give to the mind it can't process.And what we see as a result of our actions first starts in the mind.No matter who you are if you don't understand the mind principle you may fall into countless uncontrollable sins.Listen All Sin[Simple Instructions Neglected]starts from the Mind.You want to commit fornication, adultery, masturbation, pornography,lies&cheating etc,name them it all first forms an image in the mind then it leads to a continual thought and restrategising which led to your actions.Listen You want to make the most out of life Learn to manage your Mind/heart for out of it flows issues....
