We don't want this fear cast out, this is the only kind
of fear that is acceptable with
God. It is the kind that brings blessing rather than
torment. Perfect love casts out the
kind of fear that is accompanied by torment. All kinds
of phobias, nightmares etc.

I enjoy God's Word - and learning the fear of the Lord is profitable all around:
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life Prov 14:27
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Prov 9:10
The fear of the Lord will prolong your days Prov 10:27
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil Prov 8:13 (so one can speak as the oracles of God)
A good starting point. But don't leave out "mature love casts out fear."
