Do you know that we sin when we fear?

Where there is ‘Spirit of GOD’ there is ‘Liberty’. We are born by ‘Spirit’ living in ‘Flesh’.

God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [HIM] in spirit and in truth.
Spirit is more real than the natural. This is not understood in this ‘REAL’ world.
Spirit beings are more powerful and more real than any natural being. When spirit being takes control, then natural bodies will not have any dominion.
JESUS when HE cursed the fig tree, HE did not do anything physically to the tree but cursed it in SPIRIT.
Mark 11: 12 – 14
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply (perhaps) he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].
Then the next day as they were passing by, Jesus disciples finds the fig tree dried up c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y.
Mark 11: 20, 21
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Every problem has a root. We are looking at the problem and not the root. But Jesus removes the problem from the root. The fig tree also got dried up from its root.
(This is also figurative of the fact that every tree which doesn’t bear good fruit will be destroyed. Usually figs sprout along with /or before leaves. Jesus finds fig tree already with leaves, so HE goes near it expecting some fruit but finds none.)
There are some spiritual forces which want to control this Earth. These are the powers of darkness which belong to satan.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
One prominent dangerous demonic spirit is the ‘spirit of fear ‘. The ‘fear factor’ is used by satan to inflict fear in a believer so that HE does not believe GOD or exercise faith. Fear suppresses faith in GOD. Even the Israelites were inflicted with this fear factor about their enemies, because of which they lost faith many times before GOD. The same GOD who led Israel before is now leading us. We have a too powerful GOD fighting for us, so we need not be afraid for anything in this world, be it disease or demonic influence or problem or regarding problem of any person to whom we are emotionally attached. Only we need to exercise faith, building up loads and loads of faith every day.
Deuteronomy 3: 22

We should overcome this fear by prayer, submitting to GOD even in fasting, asking GOD to help us overcome this fear and build up faith in us which can work miracles instead of troubles.
To fear is ‘sin’ because ‘To fear not’ is GOD’s commandment to us. If we do not follow GOD’s commandment, we sin. How many times have we sinned, knowingly or unknowingly..?
Joshua 1: 9
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.
