Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 1

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 1

I was pondering and praying about why majority accepted the narrative when it is plain clear that it's a lie from the pit of hell.

...that through death Jesus might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. - Heb 2:14-15

The one who holds the power of death is the devil. The power of death induces the fear of death. Anyone who has fear of death will be subjected to every fear that leads to bondage.

Fear of death

Fear of sickness

Fear of losing freedom

Fear of losing loved ones

Fear of losing job

Fear of the unknown

The information released around the world is in cooperation with the devil. How do we know that? It induces fear. We must not say that we are practising wisdom, for such wisdom is from James 3:15. It is fear disguised as earthly wisdom.

We need to be pre-occupied with "it is written" than to be influenced by "it is reported." The decision we make reveals clearly if we are moved by "it is written" or "it is reported". Saying and preaching do not mean anything. What counts is the action.

It is thus important for us to know what kind of jurisdiction we hold in Christ. Since Christ has the jurisdiction over the one who holds the power of death, it means that you and I (in Him) have His jurisdiction over the power of death. In other words, we have His jurisdiction over the fear of death and all it's bondage/slavery (Heb 2:15).

This is simple, but not easy to walk/live out. This is why the Word doesn't say that dominion (jurisdiction) casts out fear. It says that 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 (1 Jn 4:8).

Our decision must be 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧, not fear-driven. When we feed on the information given from the world (in cooperation with the devil), fear is built up. When we feed on the information from the Word, love is built up.

How many believers spend more time reading "it is written", than reading "it is reported"? By a simple measure of that, we will know if their decision is love-driven or fear-driven.

The love of God overcomes all circumstances and these are listed in Romans 8.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? - Romans 8:35

The context of this verse is with regards to the 'present sufferings' (Rom 8:18) among believers living on the inhabited earth aka the ancient Roman world (one world order). Emperor Nero was in power.

In the next part, we will see the progression of each circumstance in Rom 8:35 as though it is happening in our world today.
