No fear!

Hello everyone,

How are you today? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text:
“There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection].” 1 John 4v18 (AMP)

Child of God, God loves you very much. If in doubt, look at the Cross. The Bible tells us that “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that thought death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” (Hebrews 2v14-15). Child of God, what are you afraid of? Death, tomorrow, punishment, your boss…? God says, fear not, for I am with you (Isaiah 41v10). Don’t be afraid anymore. Is there “tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? ... Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” (Romans 8v35, 37). Because of Him that loved us, we conquer even in the face of adversity. Don’t be afraid anymore. “The Spirit we received does not make us slaves again to fear; it makes us children of God. With that Spirit we cry out, “Father.” (Romans 8v15, NCV). Again, we know that “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.” (2 Timothy 1v7, AMP). That is what God has given you.

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, not things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8v38-39 (KJV)

I declare that I do not have a spirit of fear but a Spirit of power, love and sound mind, in Jesus name, amen.
