Today’s New Covenant nugget is from 1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…
God is perfect love and fear cannot survive around Him – a revelation of His perfect love for you will forever free you from all fear. God is for you, not against you, He is not out to break you, He is all about building you, He is not looking to disqualify you, He has qualified you through His Son, Jesus… He loves you!
Fear is from the devil and fear is what he always uses to impose his will on others – never allow yourself to be influenced by fear, because if fear is influencing you in any way, you are being influenced by the powers of darkness. The Lord influences us by imparting His love into us, and then His love brings faith, and faith works by love.
When you meditate upon the Word, the Word imparts perfect love, then perfect love, faith, then faith, works of power! When people focus on the world, the world imparts fear through social media, through the news media and through political leaders who only know fear as a way to make people comply to their bondage. Fear imprisons and leads to death, but love brings liberty and freedom which leads to abundant life!
Isaiah 41:10 (TPT) says, “Do not yield to fear, for I am always near.
Never turn your gaze from Me, for I am your faithful God. I will infuse you with My strength and help you in every situation. I will hold you firmly with My victorious right hand.”
Blessings on you, Nick
