Living in the Love of God part3

Good morning and praise the Lord. This truly is a gloroious day of the Lord.Be blessed and may the Lord open the window of heaven and pour out His blessing upon you.Lets look at verse 18 of 1 John chapter4" 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. Notice that the word says that there is no fear in love. When you and I make the decision to live in the light of God and walk in the Word of truth and follow the life of Christ the full love of God will manifest in us. In that full love of God there is no fear because we know in whom we belong. Gods peace floods our soul like a river. When you and I confessed our sins to the Lord and asked Jesus to become Lord and Master of our lives we opened the door to that love and when that love came in it casteth out the spirit of fear that dominanted our lives before Christ. Why would God want to get fear out of our lives? the answer is right here in this verse{because fear hath torment]. When fear dominates a persons life they live in torment all the time. The fear torments and creates aggitations in there physical well being. You and I were recreated in the life and image of God at our new birth. This means that our spirit man was delivered from the powers of darkness that once dominated our life. Fear was apart of our lives from the day we were born. And if we were raised in the atmosphere of fear it took control of our lives. But when Jesus came in through the agent of the Holy Spirit that light casteth out the spirit of fear that once dominanted us and held us in darkness. Fear is a real enemy. Listen to this passgae of scripture"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear,but of power,and of love,and of a sound mind.[2Timothy 1:7]Did you catch what the word says God did not give us a spirit of fear.If fear did not come from God then where does it come from? It came from satan. Just look at Adam and Eve before the fall they walked with God talked with God and lived in His presence but one day when God came to the garden to talk with them they hid from Him in fear. What changed they commited high treason and broke covenant with God opening the door to the dominating spirit of fear. And from that point on every man born of women was born with that spirit of fear. But here is the joy Jesus destroyed the power of satan with His victory over sin. And you and I when we were born again was released from that spirit and received the spirit of the Lord that destroyed the power of darkness over our lives. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. From this day forward remember fear can not contol you if you are a born again child of GOD for the perfect love of God has casted out the spirit of fear. Have a blessed and healthy day in Jesus only beleive the Word and live in the freedom Jesus has provided for us. From Pastor Ken
