Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear.

-Meditation-

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love; but PERFECT LOVE casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

Fear is such a hindrance to perfect-real-love. The sad thing is, so many people today are living in fear, some with little fears, and some with big fears, but there is one result from all fears, and that is-they hinder LOVE. Fear hinders the perfect love of God from impacting our hearts. The truth is that one time or another we all fall into some fear of some sort, and the enemy will do all he can to pull us down, because when we fear, it hinders love, it pulls us away from trusting God, and it causes us to live in bondage. The reason Jesus came back was to save us, and to deliver us from those very things, He wants His Bride to enter into full, and complete love for Him. That is one of the biggest reasons Satan attacks us so much. From the beginning Satan has hated us, because God loves us(SO MUCH), we have what he will never again have access to=LIFE. So he is doing, and is going to do everything he can to steal kill and destroy all people.

I see a real need to pray for those living in fear, whether it is fear of man, or fear of death, or anything you can think of, so right now if you know anyone at all struggling with any kind of fear I want to invite you to pray 1 John 4:18 over them, they desperately need to be covered with the Love of Jesus, they need, and we also desperately need, to be gripped with the love of Jesus, we need to be fully consumed by His love. Fear is like cancer, and when we let it take root in our hearts, we become paralyzed. We are not able to enter into all that God has for us when we live in fear, and we are extremely held back by fear. So just take a moment and pray for anyone you know, whether it is you, or someone you know, the LORD wants to set them free, and He wants to break into their lives.

I just feel like the LORD is wanting us to be intercessors for each other, when He is trying to grip us, and fear is hindering His griping our hearts, we have a problem. I feel just as we are entering into the most intense hour of all time, and Jesus' coming is so close, the spirit of fear is really attacking the church, because whether we like it or not, the rage of Satan is increasing, and as it does there will be an increase in martyrdom in the church, and I know many people fear this, and Satan has tried to discourage me in this. And martyrdom is a very very intense thing, but it is not a curse, even though it may seem like it. Martyrdom is a great honor, it is one of the most radical expressions of love for God.

So lets join together and pray for one another. The LORD is marking individuals with His holy love, and I myself long to be gripped by that love, so lets dive into prayer.
