I would like to ask,What are people on this site 'FEARING'?
Are they fearing to be Banned,Deleted, made fun of,
Maybe being called an unbeliever,have the devil emoticon put to them,saying 'You are the devil,or you are of the devil.
How about those that always oppose everything that you post,saying that 'You oppose the Word of GOD"
Or,you are not psting according to 'Faith'
Who really cares.
I happen to know whom i have believed,and i have been persuaded that He is able to keep that which i have given to Him unto the day of Yeshua.
Since ABBA started talking with me,WHich was some time ago,
I have believed that a Believer in Yeshua is INDESTRUCTABLE
until ABBA takes them to be with Him.
Maybe i happen to be wrong with my understanding of the Word.
Or could the Word be wrong.
Maybe the translation is wrong.
Yet this is the Word of GOD on this matter.
1Jonn 4:16 And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and the one abiding in love abides in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 By this, love has been perfected with us, that we have confidence in the day of judgment, that as He is, we are also in this world.
1John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and the one fearing has not been perfected in love.
1Jn 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
1John 4:20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?
1John 4:21 And we have this commandment from Him, that the one who loves God also loves his brother.
Could there be fear,because the Love of some,or many has been growing COLD.
You are automatically entrapped when you do not accept the truth, that fear is a spirit, you are already in his clutch, exposing the enemy is not fellow shipping with him as some would indicate, but denying the truth he is a spirit will automatically put you in fellowship with you, for he has dubbed you.
As one author says... "fear may be either apprehension of evil which normally leads a person either to flee or to fight or that awe and reverence which a person of sense feels in the presence of God, and to a less exten in the presence of a king or other in authority."
There is a heathy fear that we experience in revernece inf the presence of God has we find thorughout God's word from Adam Moses to even Paul, and if when you first believed and receive the empowerment of the HOly Spirit... His presence should have brought upon you a fear. Well, I'll speak for myself, it did for me, becasue of the power that was present...
God has spoken in HIs word to all who have come in close contact with Him, fear not, or do not be afraid.. and this is what happened to me when the Holy Spirit came upon me, His presence was ovrwhelming, its a presence and feeling like nothing I had even experienced. The fear wasn't that of evil, but of not know what was going on and because of the mighty power.
There is an unhealthy spirit of fear that causes we to become afraid to even move and will cause a person to run or flee as we also find throughout the word, even in the Paslms concerning David and others of the enemy, and the book of Acts reagrding the apostles and the people how fear came upon them, and with Elijah , and others in the BIble.
But we must understand that God has said perfect love cast out fear, so when we are so much in love with God, His Holy Spirit will give chase to those unclean unhealthy spirits of fear that sometime hinders us from doing those things we have need to do... and this is when we can come forth in holy boldness and determination to do the will of God, and those things we have need to do for oursleves without fear.
As the old saying goes... when fear knocks at your door, stand back and allow faith and confidnece in the Holy Spirit to open it:yay:

You don't fear Satan, glory to God!!!
Myself, I do fear things, and thought most if not all other Christians do - an explanation isn't a justification. That being said, glory to God that we be refined by though intimacy and walking with him to become more Christ-like.
