“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.” I John 4:18-19 NKJV https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/1jn.4.18-19/62606
Happy New Year 2021! So far this year Daddy God has been doing a tremendous work in our hearts concerning His perfect LOVE. This seemed to be the theme last year and it is going even deeper this year.
We have been blessed to pray for the USA these past few months as a family and love on our nation in a very real way. It began with visiting family in Maryland, worshipping with the Body of Christ in Washington DC during the upheaval of the elections and praying for peace on earth. The tensions on the earth and warfare seems to be at a all new level. We have been woken up every night for the past month to urgently pray for our nation and God’s will to be done.
Even though the warfare seems to be on a more intense level, the awareness of God’s love also seems to be on a brand new level and the reality of who He is. His love and His mercy is coming after us! I found myself up at 3am and I just began to praise the Lord. I began to declare the goodness of God. As I did this the oppression and fear lifted. The love and presence of God came swooping down washing over me and my family who all woke up at the same time. Holy Spirit was giving me a song about His Goodness and mercy coming after us.
The reckless love of God coming after me. This truth just rocked my heart to the core as sweet tears of relief and peace flooded my soul.
His word is a lamp onto my feet and a light unto my path. Jesus is that word and He is that truth. He is my leader and He guides and directs me.
We are blessed to be apart of Huttes Davids West Bend in Wisconsin for this season and to recieve a deep revelation of the perfect love of God in the family of God. We need the Body of Christ. We need to be sharpened and loved by each family member of the Body of Christ. We are a family and our heavenly Father wants us to know His perfect Love found in His Son Jesus that was and is the Lamb of God who is perfect Love. He laid His life down for us!
John 3:16 NIV
16 For God so loved(A) the world that he gave(B) his one and only Son,(C) that whoever believes(D) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(E)
When we see the Lamb of God in each other and the amazing act of love at the cross, that perfect love becomes real and fear has to go!
