Fear Questions

(Melissa G.) How do we deal with DDF (Due Diligence Fear)? Here are some questions to ask when fear strikes, or we aren’t sure if it is fear or wisdom:  What do I need to see about this? What’s at the root of this? What do I need to know about this? Is there an element of this that needs to be dealt with or stopped thru prayer, or is this connected to a root that needs to be pulled out? Is this intercession for someone else? These kind of questions get answered because they are not the questions of a victim, they are questions of an overcomer.  A fear-driven question already has an answer in mind and can’t hear anything but that. A wise question is open to hear truth.  Here’s another question to keep on hand, is this something in the atmosphere that I need to be aware of? I experienced this one recently while in worship.  A headache hit me between the eyes out of no where.  Later I came to realize it was an atmospheric war over what was going on that night.  When identified the headache left immediately!
