A child like love and trust is very amazing. They are at peace, play and enjoy and are not afraid of anything. They believe that their parents are big and strong enough to take care of anything – to shelter them, provide for them and protect them. There is no fear in them. We should be able to rely on our Heavenly Father like that.
- KNOW GOD LOVES YOU
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:9-10 (NIV) GOD’S LOVE IS SACRIFICIAL AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. We should learn to accept and receive His Love for us. This is THE PERFECT LOVE. When you realise that God loves you this way fear leaves us. We walk in fear because,
- You do not know that God loves you unconditionally..
- You expect this love from people around you and are disappointed.
Your parents, spouse or children show love to you but you cannot expect that to be as pure as GOD’S LOVE. So do not burden them expecting God Like love from them. Receive from God.
How Do We Receive God’s Love?
We, who believe in Jesus, and acknowledge Jesus, are the ones get the Love of God. God is Love. God is our Heavenly Father in Jesus. Because our Heavenly Father treats us like Jesus. Jesus took our place as sinner and took the punishment and now His place was given to us as God’s Beloved sons & daughters. So no punishment. Fear comes because we feel condemned and punished. The Pherfect Love Of God Drives Out All Fear. 1 John 4:15-18(NIV)
2. KNOW GOD FORGAVE YOU
12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”[a] Hebrews 8:12 (NIV) God not only forgave your sins but forgot your sins. We should be very sure he forgot also. So when you remember your past sins or someone reminds you of that say in your heart that ‘My Father God remembers my sin no more’. When your actions are FEAR BASED – YOU GIVE ENTRY TO SATAN. Genesis 3:10(NIV) Soon after Adam sinned fear entered him. Fear means make sure you are connecting yourself again to Satan & Sin. Job said what he feared happened to him. Job 3:25-26(NIV)
When your actions are FAITH BASED – GOD’S MIRACLES HAPPEN. Jesus said according to your faith let it happen to you. God does not move seeing your need, He had already done but your faith will bring the miracle you need. In my life even I have cried to God saying, “ Don’t you see God I have a need?” I did not get answer. But when I said, “God I believe You give me because You love me” and had faith, I always got it even-though it looked impossible. What is faith? When you see how good and able is your God and go to Him. Jesus said speak to your mountain. Matthew 21:21(NIV) I wanted to try this. One time water pump did not start when I put that in the morning. I thought why not command and see. So I commanded it to run and put the switch on a couple of times and it started to work. It worked a whole year. Glory to God! Do such things and show to this world that our God is true to His Words!.
3. KNOW GOD IS FOR YOU
Imagine if you are a VIP and how you get a protection that follows you wherever you go. More than those mortal men you are protected by angels. The Armies of God the Angels are with you wherever you go. Hebrews 13:5-6(NIV) We should be ruling & reigning in Jesus Christ our Lord 17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.” Romans’ 5:17(NIV) Remember God loves you, God forgave you and God is for you.
