*Place: Kambah P.S.*
*Title: Torment of Fear*
*Text: *& 1 John 4:17-19
*Illust: *Aung San Su Kyi, the Burmese pro democracy activist made this insightful statement: “It is not power that corrupts, but fear.”
And Carmen Lawrence in her book “Fear and Politics” writes “A cursory examination of the newspaper and TV headlines will confirm that fear is daily pumped into our homes and workplaces.
The media is saturated with apocalyptic warnings about crime, drugs, exotic diseases, and all manner of threats to our way of life.”
– An epidemic of fear.

I. Cold Icy Hand of Fear.
!! A. Torment
i.
We all know the feeling of fear, that cold icy hand that grips you heart.
Your mind is assailed with anxiety, fear; fear of the future, sickness, some accident or tragedy.
ii.
What medical science & many texts on healing highlight is the link between fear and torment & v.18b Torments of:
Sickness: More & more the link between sickness & fear is becoming crystallised and self evident.
Asthma, digestive disorders, tumours, even some deafness.
– Not a definitive list, not the only cause.
But there is a common link
Defeat: Another torment is just defeat, a defeated outlook, heavy spirit.
Robbed of joy & victory.
– Fear.
