Remember this: "Perfect love casts out all fear" (1 John 4:18)--and Perfect Love lives in you.
In the great passage on spiritual warfare from Ephesians 6, Paul begins his thoughts, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might" (6:10). His point being: Our confidence must not be in the church, our pastor, a ministry organization, our spouse, our Bible study group, or the godly person who mentored us in matters of faith. We are strong-not in these-but in the Lord's strength!
