Why are you so fearful?

"There’s no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.'
                                                                    1 John 4:18.  NKJV

The Greek word for fear is, Phobos, from which we get Phobia. This includes, fear, terror and dread plus quite a few other areas. When we consider these areas, you may see yourself in them. Fear attacks us all at times. When a person has to give a speech in front of people, it can cause tremendous fear. You can be dreading it. For some people, just being in a room with people who they don't really know, can cause fear, especially if one of these people speak to them. Many times we put this down to being shy and this may be the case. However, many times it is total fear. If you suffer in this way, when you're in a crowd you may hide away in a corner hoping that no one notices you or if there is someone that you know and feel safe with, you may go and stand with them, again, just to feel safe.

At other times, sheer dread can come upon you. You may even feel terrified of something and the more it plays around in your mind, torment begins to take over. If you're not careful, this can totally disable you, preventing you from doing what you should be doing. A new job or school can cause this type of fear. Going somewhere you have never been before and having to take a lead role can be scary.
Even our prayers can begin to take on a fear-based  theme instead of faith-based. Fear-based prayer leads to disaster, faith-based prayer brings victory.  

Fear robs our soul of all joy and confidence before God. It also shows us that we are not made perfect in love; and this means we're not complete and mature in Him.
Kenneth Copeland says, 'Fear gives the curse life again.' When we look in Galatians 3:13, we read, 'Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us.' The blood of Jesus has set us free from the curse and as we walk and get closer to Jesus, we can allow Him to perfect us in love, because God is Love. 1 John 4:16.

We can therefore, realise that there is no fear in Love because God is Love, or Love is God, whichever way you look at it. 

2 Timothy 1:7 informs us that, 'God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.' So it is time to stand up and be perfected in this Love. God does not want you fearful. Its against His rules. It brings pain and sickness. Therefore, allow me to lead you in prayer to free you from this.

Lord Jesus, 
We come before You this day and fully realise that it is not Your will that we have fear within our lives - at all. Therefore, we ask You to break the power of fear upon us and help us to be perfected in Your Love.
In Jesus' Name. Amen
