The big thing nowadays with most is, dont be deceived, and that is a consideration for sure. But I think we have to be careful when talking on forums to not let our fears be passed of as discernment or faith. I have seen this happening on the board and some particular posts struck me as having fear underneath what they were stating was faith or discernment, and that's clearly not correct because scripture tells us to not fear, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of a sound mind...

Fear is prevalent in the areas of spiritual or physical healing, and prophecying and gifts. It's all over the place. We cant use fear as our motivation! If "fear" is about physical harm and "Anxiety" is about emotional harm we can start to see solutions. Suppressing fear doesnt get rid of it. Confronting fear within ourselves is something we dont like to do most times. Our imagination is a very powerful thing so I think that remaining curious is the solution, or a solution if you will. Not sure yet, I'm still chewing on this...
