“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
To be born of the Spirit of God is to step into the fullness of what God has given to His children. We are not left vulnerable or fearful in a broken world—we are equipped, empowered, and established in divine authority.
The Spirit of God is not a spirit of timidity. It is a spirit of power—to overcome darkness, love—to walk in Christ-like compassion, and a sound mind—to remain stable, wise, and disciplined even in chaotic times.
A sound mind speaks of spiritual clarity, self-control, and mental stability that comes from being led by the Holy Spirit. It is not shaken by fear or confusion but anchored in truth and governed by God’s wisdom.
When fear whispers lies, remember: God did not author fear. He authored power to prevail, love to heal, and a sound mind to endure. This is your inheritance as a child of God.
There is no greater gift than to be born of the Spirit. It means that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you—strengthening you, guiding you, and making you victorious in all things.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the precious gift of Your Spirit. I reject the spirit of fear and embrace the power, love, and sound mind You’ve given me. Help me walk boldly in Your truth, with a mind anchored in peace and purpose. Strengthen me daily to reflect Your power in every area of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
