Having courage in the face of fear, being brave, or even bold if you have to, though you do have fear ... But that comes from God (also) (that fear and that courage) (it all comes from God, but I think he's looking for courage in the face of it)...Apples and oranges. You are describing exactly one half of what I said... fear of the Lord... that's all fine and good. But a spirit of fear is being afraid or timid. Greek Deliah: timidity, fearfulness, cowardice. The post I was responding to was NOT describing a fear of the Lord, it was expressing timidity to sharing the good news, hence my response, to encourage someone not be afraid to display Godly character.
I would be VERY careful of telling someone they are in error, when your focus appears to be more on being right than addressing real issues and struggles that are right under your nose.
Agreed, fear (afraid/timidity) doesn't come from God, but it we all experience it. Courage and wisdom in the face of fear is a Godly characteristic as well.Having courage in the face of fear, being brave, or even bold if you have to, though you do have fear ...

God Bless!
The character of God is like a pure light, when dispersed amongst people, there is a prismatic effect.All the characteristics of godliness are invisible and unseen, but these are the qualities that Jesus seeks in a person. What are these characteristics? To love one another, forgive, honesty, humble, righteous, moral. These characteristics are like the wind, we cannot see them, but we know they exist and we know how to apply them into our lives. My dear friends, do you have these characteristics?
