Instead, leaders are called to liberate individuals from fear, reflecting Jesus' mission to deliver humanity from bondage.

He encourages believers to recognize that the fear of God should replace all other fears, allowing them to live boldly in faith. Ultimately, the sermon calls for leaders to embody a spirit of love and encouragement, rather than one of fear and control.
Glorious Freedom From Fear
By David Wilkerson0LUK 21:25David Wilkerson emphasizes that the rising fears in the world today fulfill Jesus' prophecy about distress and fear among nations. He reassures believers that through complete resignation of their lives to Christ, they can experience glorious freedom from fear. This act of faith involves trusting in God's power, wisdom, and mercy, as He promises to care for His children. Wilkerson highlights Jesus' ultimate example of this trust when He committed His spirit to the Father before His crucifixion, demonstrating the importance of placing our lives in God's hands. By following Christ's example, believers can find peace and security amidst the chaos of the world.
