Let Love Cast Down Fear
This month we are going to share a lesson that deals with love and allowing love to get rid of the fear that is in our lives. One of the biggest obstacles to the body of Christ at this time is fear and how we are allowing fear to cause our love to grow cold. I have not seen a time such as what we are living in now where there is so much hate, especially among those who claim to know the Lord.
We are living in the last days, but we do not have to mimic the world in their behavior or attitudes. We must walk in love. Here are the reasons why:
The spirit of fear is from the devil. God has equipped us with power, love and a sound mind. So the love that we walk in gives us the ability to overcome fear in every situation.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Whenever you are gripped with fear and allowing fear to dictate how you act and react, you are being tormented. We have been given the power to cast fear out. Don’t allow fear to torment you. When fearful thoughts, news or information comes your way, you have to guard your mind and heart. Cast down what does not line up with God’s Word and stand on His Word, not what the world is saying.
1 John 4:18 NKJV
“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.”
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
“Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
Despite the evil that is growing in the world, we are still called to represent Christ and to walk in love.
Matthew 24:12 NKJV & CEV
“And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”
“Evil will spread and cause many people to stop loving others.”
You cannot represent God and spew hate at people. What’s in your heart is revealed by your love walk. There may be people you do not like, but you are still called to walk in love towards them.
1 John 4:20 CSB
“If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother or sister, he is a liar. For the person who does not love his brother or sister whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
Ephesians 4:27 AMP
“And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness].”
Because we have been equipped with God’s love and we have hope in His promises, not based on what the world says or does, but God’s Word, we can boldly walk in love and face what everyone else is fearing.
Romans 5:5 AMP
“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
Our love walk marks and distinguishes us from the rest of the world.
Represent the Kingdom and our King boldly and without fear.
1 John 4:7 NIV
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
