Stronger Than Fear
Stronger Than Fear
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear." 1 John 4:18
Don't kid yourself, fear is powerful--it's a force to be reckoned with. And casting out fear requires more than willpower and determination; it requires the presence of a force that is greater than fear.
Love is more powerful than fear, but it must be a particular variety of love. It must be perfect love.
"How in the world am I expected to come up with perfect love", you may ask. "My love is far from perfect." No worries, perfect love is not referring to your love for God, but rather God's love for you. His love is the only perfect love in the universe, and you better believe that his love is stronger than fear.
God's love for you is perfect, complete, unconditional, and durable. Nothing you will ever do can make God love you less and nothing you will ever do will make God love you more. His love for you is already perfect. His name is Love and he will never change his name.
Receive his perfect love for you now and fear will lose its grip. You can cast fear away in the name of Love.
Love, Perfect Love, I receive you now. Fill me. Free me. In the name of your Perfect Love, right now I cast out fear in Jesus’ name.
