Are you always afraid of one thing or the other? And do you
want to live your life without fear of anything? The good news is that there is
an antidote for fear and it is called perfect love. It is a cure for fear of
all types. A full dose of it keeps you perpetually free of fear. This post
reveals how to access this perfect love.
“…God is love, and he who dwells and
continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in
him. In this [union and communion with Him]
love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have
confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him],
because as He is, so are we in this world. 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 4:16-18 (AMP)
You are a believing Christian and you
know that fear is not of God but you find that you are often fearful of one
thing or the other: afraid of tomorrow, of your family members dying, of
getting any of these deadly sickness and diseases, of lack and want, etc. You
have prayed, consulted counselors either personally or through their books and
yet you are not free of the torments of fear. It is because your love is yet to
attain perfection.
Fear is a spirit, and God has not given
you the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind, 2 Timothy 1:7. Perfect
love casts fear out and keeps it far away from you. And your love is made
perfect as you remain in union and communion with God.
God is love, and so communion with God
is communion with love. The stronger your relationship with God, the more your
love is perfected and less fearful you become. This antidote for fear takes
root within you and expels fear from you.
Now let’s look at the three major ways
by which we commune with God. Read more...
