A reminder for
today
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out
fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (1
John 4:18)
There is no fear in love. Fear is one of the best methods the
enemy uses to get to us. What do we fear? We fear rejection, failure, job loss,
pain, income issues, debt, hurt, tomorrow, stature, not being good enough, not being
careful enough, mistakes and are we able to make it.
The enemy has a huge list of things he uses to confuse us
and lead us away from the Bible and into destruction. It is our worldly nature
that hampers our perception and influences our understanding of what Jesus
promises in His Word.
The enemy wants you to forget the Bible and focus on your
problems and not on what God promises. You see we are so easily influenced by
people and circumstances that we miss the whole point. God loves you and He
will show the way and He will never leave you. When Jesus said that our Father
will take care of us, He was dead serious, and God does. It is our fears and our
worldly nature that drives us away from God’s promise and into sin.
How do we cast away fear? John says that there is no fear in
love. If you have fear you are not made perfect in love and to me that is God’s
love. Although God loves you and will always be with you, you still have to choose.
Now, do we choose out of fear or out of faith. If there is no fear in love and
you love God with all your heart and all your soul, you will be made perfect in
love and in that perfection lies fearlessness.
It is when we lose focus and trust that we fall into fear. That
is why I always say keep your eyes on the Lord and meditate on His word day and
night. The word of God is part of the armour that keeps us from falling into
fear and being misguided by the lies of the enemy. That is why we always say you
can listen to everything but test everything and every word against the word of
God and the word of God will reveal the truth.
So, today I say fear not but love completely. Love the Lord
our God with all your heart and all your soul and live fearless and listen to
His word.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
