Fear

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)

                       

As I was meditating on the word of God, I was brooding over this particular topic on fear for a while. Fear is a peculiar weapon that the enemy uses to shatter the faith of Christians. Fear can keep you under bondage (Romans 8: 15). Fear can torment you. ( 1 John 4: 18) Fear is one among the most fiery darts the devil use to get you paralyzed, frozen and to even give up your walk with the Lord. As humans, we are vulnerable. We fear of things we do not know. We fear things yet to come. We fear consequences of our past. We fear death, at times we even fear to live. We fear people. We fear demons and why not, we even fear GOD out of condemnation.

This is how the devil works. He put thoughts of fear in you and stands as a silent spectator watching the way you react. As you give way, he puts in more of such thoughts till you wind up in depression. Another deception of the devil is to make you feel intimidated when you dare to acknowledge your hidden fears, so that you will be in the same vicious cycle again.

If you have been gripped by fear of any nature, be it acknowledged or hidden, the good news is that you are not alone. Fear had been the devil`s weapon since ages and that is why, the word `Fear not ` has been documented in the Bible for more than 365 times, (as if God is telling us not to fear everyday of the year).

If you have been a captive of fear, today is your day to conquer it. It is written in Hebrews 2: 14, 15 that Jesus died on the cross to take victory over death so that we are no longer under the bondage of fear of death. The Love of God is higher, deeper and wider enough to cast away all your fears. God has given us the spirit of adoption whereby we can cry unto him Abba Father.

So if you are someone seeking how to loosen yourself from fear, just follow these simple steps below.

•  Come before God as you are, as a clay in the potter`s hands, as a child to his or her father, as a creation to the creator, as a captive to the deliverer and cry out to him till he puts his loving hands around you and whisper not to fear.
•  Honestly acknowledge and renounce every of your hidden fears before him, till your burdens are lifted up.
•  Meditate on the word of God till your armor of faith rise enough to repel every dart of fear aimed at you. 
• Be filled with the love of Christ and be ready to take every thought captive according to 2 Corinthians 10:5.
• Use the sword of the word of God and all - prayer to fight back.                                 Remember, We are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us.(Romans 8:37). God bless!

More than a Mother`s Love

Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.

 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Isaiah 49:15-16. ( KJV)

So don`t worry about Tomorrow, Your father knows what you need before you ask him. According to Matt 6: 30-32.

THE HORROR DREAM

The dream I had last night made a huge difference in the way I knew who God really is. I would like to share it with you as this can also make you see God in a totally different prospective. In this current busy, buzzy world which has grown so mechanical, are you wondering where you can fit God in? Let me tell you something. I believe God should be someone so loving than an earthly father, a mother or a dear friend who is at your heart to heart. He should be someone whose love for you is so deep that he cannot part from you even in your worst of all situations. His love should be so unbiased that he should love you no matter what and no matter who you are. I believe the love of God should be so unconditional, expecting absolutely NOTHING in return. Wondering if there can be a love like this? This is what my dream explained to me.

In my dream I saw a big, black snake swallowing me up. I saw myself struck in its jaws crying out for help. Believe me or not, I was just finding hard even to breathe as I was screaming from the top of my throat for help. All my friends were at the other side that none of them heard me either. Then miraculously I got help. There came, a father and a son riding on a bicycle. They stepped down beside that huge black snake and rescued me from its dreaded mouth.  I was very excited that I was saved from death.

 The father was very busy taking me by hand and leading me out of the danger zone as I was just panting for life. Suddenly, as I was recovering, I could hear a piercing cry for help which I recognized soon to be of the son`s. It was only then I realized that the father had to risk his own son`s life to rescue me. The son was really caught between the jaws of that same black snake the time I was being rescued and the father had to rush back again to snatch the boy from the serpent`s deadly jaws.

One thing in this dream just shook me. How can a stranger have such a concern and love for me that even his only son`s life didn’t matter to him more than mine? Secondly, if a stranger can like me so much, how much more can my heavenly father who formed me in my mother`s womb love me? I woke up and all that echoed in my mind is these loving words of our savior John 3:16. ``For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.’’

So Dear brother, dear sister! This is love! A love that is more willing to die a thousand times on the cross just to deliver your soul from the evil one. A love that is willing to trade even the whole world and universe to have you in heaven. Just embrace this divine love of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and he will be your ever best friend till you meet him up there! God bless.

Love of Christ:

But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

1 Peter 4:8
And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”

 John 3:16¹⁶ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

                   Jesus loves you, no matter who you are, or how you are. Man sees the face, but Jesus sees the depth of your heart. Come just as you are, under the cleansing streams of his blood, and be made holy and righteous before his eyes. Remember, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ: for the blood of Jesus washes away all our sins.
