When we die to the old nature and are born again of God's Holy Spirit, we are empowered to choose with our free will to pick up our cross daily and follow our Lord, living a life of obedience that is pleasing to Him. Fear is not of the Holy Spirit and it needs to be daily crucified like all other sin and flesh. Instead we embrace who we are as disciples, servants and brides of our Lord Jesus... and daughters and sons of our Father... and walk in Surrender in the new identity He has given us which is that of saints, no longer sinners. Blessings to all :).
