Where did this fear come from?

The Word of God mentions two different types of fear. The first is the fear of the Lord, and it is beneficial for us. The second type is harmful, and we should strive against it.

In the second letter to Timothy 1:7, the apostle Paul mentions the 'spirit of fear': 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' Therefore, in the context of evangelism, fear does not come from God. Someone who appreciates the Bible once rightly said: 'Fear is one of the many tactics Satan uses to shut us down and shut our mouths.'

The devil's greatest desire is the destruction of all humanity. He desires that no one would come to repentance and receive saving faith in Jesus Christ. He rejoices when people are 'dead in their trespasses and sins' (Ephesians 2:1).

Admit that your fear of evangelism comes from the enemy and don't let him have the satisfaction of making you silent.
