When hearing of all the disturbing financial news worldwide, stories of natural disasters, and terrorism, or to face the financial needs of adding a new member to your family, it can be easy to slip into a state of fear.
I remember being taught my whole life that faith is the opposite of fear. While that might be true to some degree, the truth is that love is the opposite of fear and clearly the counteracting force against fear.
The Bible clearly states:
1 Tim 1:7 “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear…”
Once you clearly understand God’s perfect agape love for you, there is no way to continue dwelling in fear.
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…”
Romans 8:32 “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”
If you are facing fear right now, I declare a revelation of God’s love over your life. I pray that you will be consumed by a spirit of love, and power, and a sound mind to defeat any fear in your life.
