Today‘s Inspiration: ”There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us.“ 1 John 4:18-19 NIV. The root of fear originates from sin, self and satan. That’s the reason for Christ, the only begotten son of God came on earth to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8. God’s presence and glory resides in the realms of His love for us in our hearts. Many prayers are hindered and obstructed because of issues of our hearts. Proverbs 4:23.
How does prefect love cast out fear? It is when there is perfect forgiveness at the Cross. Without forgiveness and atonement of sin by Christ, there is no freedom from fear. Only the Love of God covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8. We can have all righteous works but no love like Simon the pharisee. Yet the woman with the alabaster jar blessed Christ and washed His feet with her hair. Love is not judged by its cover. Jesus said,”Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”Luke 7:47. Without forgiveness, love cannot entered our hearts and it hinders our prayers. Forgiveness always releases healing, restoration, and reconciliation into homes and families. It begins with Christ in us. Praise God!
Prayer: O Lord my God, take me deeper in your love, deeper than I ever been before. Teach me to know you more and more. Give me your grace and mercy to release all offences, grievances, jealousy and injustice through the precious blood of Jesus Christ in my heart. Give me clean hands and a pure heart to be more like you, on earth as it is in heaven. Lead me in your everlasting ways of your agape love, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
Love is God He is our Father in heaven and Jesus Christ is our Lord and saviour Holy Spirit the holy Trinity
