The Undoing of Fear

In this class, we will walk together through the process of letting go of fear. Fear is not just an emotion—it’s a learned response that can be unlearned. The Holy Spirit helps us remember who we really are and gently replaces fear with peace. We will explore how to shift our thinking, break old mental patterns, and open ourselves to love and healing. This class is not about avoiding life—it’s about facing life with the truth of God’s presence in our hearts.

1. The Present Memory

We will begin by learning how the present moment can restore our memory of God. Fear is rooted in the past or future, but peace lives in the now. We will remember that God is with us now.

📖 Scriptures:

• Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
• 2 Corinthians 6:2 – “Now is the time of God’s favor; now is the day of salvation.”
• Matthew 6:34 – “Do not worry about tomorrow…”

2. Reversing Effect and Cause

We will explore how the ego reverses truth by making us believe that external events cause our feelings. In truth, our thoughts come first—what we believe inside shapes what we see outside.

📖 Scriptures:

• Proverbs 23:7 – “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
• Romans 12:2 – “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
• Luke 6:45 – “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”

3. The Agreement to Join

We will learn that healing happens when we stop seeing ourselves as separate and agree to join with others in truth. This joining is not about giving up who we are—it’s about remembering we were never alone.

📖 Scriptures:

• Matthew 18:20 – “Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
• Ephesians 4:3 – “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit…”
• John 17:21 – “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.”

4. The Greater Joining

We will go even deeper and learn that this joining isn’t just between people—it includes God. When we align with God’s love, we rise above fear and discover our shared strength.

📖 Scriptures:

• John 15:5 – “I am the vine; you are the branches… apart from me you can do nothing.”
• 1 Corinthians 12:12 – “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts…”
• Galatians 3:28 – “You are all one in Christ Jesus.”

5. The Alternate to Dreams of Fear

We will find that there is another way to live—a life not shaped by fear, but by the happy dream of peace. This dream reflects the truth God placed in our hearts.

📖 Scriptures:

• Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you hope and a future.”
• Philippians 4:7 – “The peace of God… will guard your hearts and minds…”
• John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you…”

6. The Secret Vows

We will uncover unconscious beliefs or “vows” we’ve made to stay separate, to suffer, or to punish ourselves. The Holy Spirit helps us undo these secret contracts and reclaim our freedom.

📖 Scriptures:

• Isaiah 61:1 – “He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom…”
• Romans 8:1 – “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
• Galatians 5:1 – “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…”

7. The Ark of Safety

We will end this class by entering the place of perfect safety—God’s presence. Like the ark in the Old Testament, this inner sanctuary keeps us safe from fear, not by hiding us, but by transforming us.

📖 Scriptures:

• Psalm 91:1–2 – “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”
• Proverbs 18:10 – “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”
• John 10:28 – “No one can snatch them out of my hand.”

✨ Final Reflection

This class will help us release the hold that fear has on our hearts and minds. Fear may have shaped our past, but it does not have to shape our future. As we let the Holy Spirit guide our thoughts, we will begin to see that love is stronger, peace is closer, and healing is already here. This is not just a class about thinking differently—it’s about living differently. And it starts with the choice to trust love instead of fear.
