All fear has torment. Fear of death is the master fear (Hebrews 2:15). Second Timothy 1:7 says you have not been given a spirit of fear, but when you were born of the Spirit, you were given a “spirit of … power, and of love, and of a sound mind”.
All worry, phobias, etc., stem from the fear of death. We have been delivered from the source of fear and its oppression. We are no longer subject to it. In fact, we have been set free from the spiritual laws that govern sin and death. Romans 8:2 makes that clear: “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.” Fear and its effects cannot work on us if we will take a strong stand, in the Name of Jesus, on the WORD of God, in the blood of our righteous covenant. Jesus had no fear, and because you are born of Him, neither should you. Fear is a spirit and must be cast out. Perfected love casts out all fear. We have been given the gift of love - God is love (1 John 4:8). Since He has given us the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, a fear-filled mind is not a sound mind. Read the whole book of John over and over until the revelation of God’s love causes your cup to overflow. When a fearful thought or situation comes up, say out loud, “That is under the curse, and I am redeemed from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). I am redeemed from fear. I refuse to fear. Thank You LORD, that I have the spirit of power and love and a sound mind. The peace of God that passes all understanding guards my heart and my mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). When you submit yourself to God, believe the love God has for you (1John 4:16), and resist the devil and his fear. James 4:7 says he must flee from you!
