The Spirits of Fear, Horror and Witchcraft

The Spirit of Fear

There are 2 types of fear: Fear of the Lord, and Fear of the Devil. Satan’s desire is to make you afraid of him and forget about fearing the Lord. The spirit of fear can enter us in many ways. What we watch, through the occult, through witchcraft.
