Faith comes by hearing
Fear comes by hearing also
Be mindful of who's speaking, or in the case of this forum who is writing

Hmmmm....A little baffled by the subject.

Would like to hear a little more elaboration.
Is it a question type post or a statement?

Its warning don't believe everything you hear or read.
It is also profound in that fear can paralyze people. Namely the fear of death.
Jesus took care of that but many are still fearful ie the doctor said.
Who's report will you believe

I totally agree with you.

Just because a "doctor" gives you a bad medical report does not mean that what he says is final.
The fact that some people get diagnosed with cancer and live and, others hear that word and plan for funerals.

I believe that trusting your inner spirit is key for everyone.
Someones belief system should never apply directly to another. Everyone has their own path in life and sometimes, it is necessary to ignore what others say on your path to truth.

Others have not gone down the same road and they don't understand you in the way that God only can. Sometimes we can be asked to do something that is so contrary to what others want but, we don't answer to them.

That sounds ear tickling but is it right? There are those that do exactly what this says, don't trust the doctors and die anyways. So you could then, using the above logic, to say trust doctors, not God.
Seems to me a true faith is one that does not seek to control the outcome to suit our fears and desires, but one that trusts whatever the outcome is, it's the right one. Whether its death or living.
