Fear:the tool of the devil

Perfect Love Drives Out Fear"There is no fear in love, But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment." 1 John 4:18Fear is a tool of the devil. He uses it to keep us from God, to keep us from believing God's Word, to keep us from experiencing God's awesome love for us, and to keep us in bondage! When we fear for our salvation, it is Satan saying to us that Jesus' blood was not enough. When we fear about whether we are good enough for God, it is Satan telling us what we should already know; that we are not good enough for God. But he neglects to add the truth that God has given us Jesus to cover us with his precious blood and make us acceptable to Him. When we fear for our children, it is Satan telling us we must take control; when in reality we need to relinquish control to the Father and let him have his way with them. When we fear for the future, it is Satan who is telling us there is uncertainty ahead; when in reality our Father has all things under His control and there is no need to fear. The scripture says, "Perfect love casteth out fear." It is when we realize that God wants us to be His own, when we realize that He does not want to punish us, that he is not a vindictive God, but a God of love, that fear will disappear from our lives. He longs for us, like the father of the prodigal son who sat watching for his son to return. He kept watching, until he saw his son far up the road. He seeks for us, like the shepherd who left his flock in search of the one lost sheep. He never gave up until that lost sheep was found. In both instances, a celebration was called for. When God found us, redeeming us from sin and death, He called for a celebration over us! We need not fear Him, we need only love Him for who He is and all He has done in our lives. When His perfect love takes hold of us we will know with all assurance that He will never let us go. His perfect love will drive fear away and we can find rest in His love.Father, release us from all fear and bondage. Help us to see that fear is a tool of the devil that will steal our joy and keep us from Your love. Help us to focus on Your unconditional love for us. It is Your love that will free us and it is Your love that will protect us and keep us safe from ALL harm. Nothing can touch us because we are Yours. I praise You for that. Let me live in Your love all the days of my life. Amen
