Fear cripples

”God is love.  When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us.  This way God has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we’re free from worry on Judgment Day - our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s.  There is no room in love for fear.  Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life - fear of death, fear of judgment - is one not yet fully formed in love.”
1 John 4:17-19 MSG

Simply put:  Fear cripples and destroys our hearts and homes; any fear we have in our lives proves that we are still letting the devil in.  Therefore, we must, must, must, embrace God and His Word, learn everything about love, receive everything about love, believe everything about love; hence, embrace the real Power of love - God, The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - so that we can suffocate and destroy fear from our lives, so we can destroy Satan and all of his darkness from within and around us.  

Friends seek love, learn love, give love... love, love, love... It’s the only thing that will destroy fear from our lives permanently.
