Fear is a foe. If we don\u2019t know that by now, we will. Fear is a thief, a liar, a paralyzer\u2026an enemy. \u201cOh what\u2019s the big deal?,\u201d you may ask. \u201cA little fear hasn\u2019t hurt anybody.\u201d Hasn\u2019t it? 🤔<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what I feel like the Lord is saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now we deal with the fear\u2026fear is not your portion. It\u2019s not supposed to be named with My children. Fear is an enemy. Just like unforgiveness, a little fear is not okay. Fear is designed to take you out. Fear is designed to connect you with the very thing you\u2019re fearful of. Fear is designed to keep you tethered to your negative experiences that invoked fear. Fear is trying to take you back to the source of your fear and cause you to relive it over and over again. Yes, it manifests as different things from different experiences, but the root is the same. Uproot the spirit of fear. Uproot the pride associated with it. Where you think you have to protect yourself in any capacity. Where you think that you\u2019re not good enough. Fear of rejection because of what you\u2019ve been through. Perfect love casts out all fear. I want you to meditate on that.<\/em> So say no to fear. It means you only harm! Watch out.\u00a0Be vigilant and diligent to keep it out.⛔️ Fear is a foe. If we don\u2019t know that by now, we will.

Here is 1 John 4:18 that backs this up: There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.<\/em>
If our love is perfected, which in the Greek is complete, fear will have no place in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
