Hunting the Spirit of Fear
by Shawn Beaton
The spirit of fear wants to make you and others a prey, but God is turning the tables on this vile spirit. Jesus Christ is giving His Church boldness at this time and this book is part of this movement. There are some in Hollywood and the government that would like to call you “deplorable”, but God is giving you a voice to respond. This is not a time to be timid, but a time to speak up and rebuke evil. Jesus Christ is no longer allowing the powers that be to determine what is normal. His Church will speak and declare what is normal.
In this book you will learn how the spirit of fear affects individuals and nations. You will also learn about your role in making your community and nation safer. Wisdom is provided for these chaotic and fearful times. Things are not out of control, but in transition. You will learn how to face the future with boldness and understanding!
In addition, there is provided within this book prayers for binding the spirit of fear and for its removal.
I also provide a Biblical understanding on some fear based mental disorders.
Jesus Christ faced the spirit of fear and won. You will learn how to beat the spirit of fear like Jesus Christ by learning from His example provided in Scripture.
It is my hope that you put the bear or spirit of fear on the run and make him your prey!
