Antidote For Fear Of All Types

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...

The Holy Spirit And The Love Of God In A Christian

Have you ever wondered how you can access the love of God? Christian believers need to possess and walk in God’s love for them to enjoy the blessings of God. It therefore becomes necessary that a Christian believer engages the help of the Holy Spirit, who is the distributor and facilitator of the Lord’s perfect love, in order to access and enjoy its benefits. 

Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us – Romans 5:5 (NKJV)

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you – John 14:26 (AMP)

The Holy Spirit distributes the love of God into the hearts of Christian believers.  At new birth, every Christian believer possesses the love of Christ by the help of the Holy Spirit. And the power to walk in love is released at this time. In other words, as a believer you have the God-given ability to walk in God’s love within you.

The Spirit of God also facilitates the love of God through you. He helps you to show love to people. It is not by your might or by your power but by the help of Holy Spirit. Unconditional love is impossible without His help. He is the one who empowers you to love the unlovable and to make unthinkable sacrifices for others. Read more...
