ACT FEARLESSLY! February 18, 2023 Fear is a spiritual force. It is one of Satan’s greatest tools to get an open door into your life. It could manifest through the fear of not being good enough, the fear of lack, the fear of rejection, the fear of failure. Satan will try to intimidate you through words, actions or external signs. But none of those things can become a reality or come into manifestation until you act upon them. Negative or fearful thoughts may come into your mind, but you can refuse to meditate on them and chose to immediately reject them. Circumstances may appear discouraging, but you can refuse to let go of your confidence and faith in what you know about God and His Word. If you respond in fear and act on intimidation, those fears can become a reality in your life. Fear will bring things to pass just as faith will. Job said, “The thing which I greatly feared has come upon me” (Job 3:25). The devil can not do anything that he wants to do anytime that he gets ready to do it. If he could, why would he have to deceive you first? Satan is limited when he can’t get you to act on his threats through fear. 1 John 4:18 (NIV) tells us, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” And we know from 1 John 4:8 that God is love. Run to God, spend time with Him, act on His Word and fear will have no place in you. Take courageous steps of faith and you will see God move in your life in amazing ways! Confession: I refuse to fear! Regardless of how I feel or what my circumstances look like, I will stand in faith on God’s Word. Author: Jerry Savelle

GOD IS LOVE and to Love is to LOVE GOD. “[He that [LOVETH NOT] [KNOWETH NOT GOD]; for [GOD IS LOVE]” (1 John 4:8). “Hatred stirreth up strifes: but [LOVE COVERETH ALL SINS]” (Proverbs 10:12). “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God” (1 John 4:7). “[IF A MAN SAY, I LOVE GOD, AND HATETH HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR]: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? And this commandment have we from him, that [HE WHO LOVETH GOD LOVE HIS BROTHER ALSO]” (1 John 5:20-21). “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. [BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE OUGHT ALSO TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER]. No man hath seen God at any time. [IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD DWELLETH IN US, AND HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US]” (1 John 4:9-12). “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” (1 John 4:18). “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore [LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW]” (Romans 13:8-10) “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the [LOVE OF GOD], and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).
