(Psalm 34:4: I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears)

You can walk in victory over all your fears. Yes, you can gain mastery over your fears. This has been the focus of this series of lessons and I do believe that you are finding succor and the answers you seek to all your fears. I want you to know that God wants you to be free. This is why he is showing you this truth and today we shall be looking at another remedy to fear and this is:

vi. Believing wholeheartedly in the love of God for you. Yes, believing in the love of God for you is another solution to your fears. If you really believe in God’s love, you will stop being afraid of tomorrow, people, failure, danger, any plague, rejection etc. The love of God is a powerful deliverer from the bondage of fear. Do you know how much God loves you? Do you have a revelation of God’s love for you? If you do, fear will have no place in you. Do you realize that God is love and that there is no fear in love or God according to (1John 4:18)? Since there is no iota of fear in love or God, believing in the love of God casts away all our fears. It’s time to turn your fears into faith by believing in God’s love for you.

Never doubt His love for you. Do you know how much God loves you?

  • God loves you unconditionally. His love for you is not based on any conditions. He loves you in spite or despite what you have done. So, if you know that he loves you this way, why exercise any fear?
  • God loves you sacrificially. He loves you so much to die for you. So, what or who are you afraid of? His depth of love should cast away your fears (John 15:13).
  • God loves you dearly. He loves you like no other person would ever love you because you matter to him. What then is that fear that can prevail against you? (Romans   8:32)
  • God loves you eternally. His love for you is everlasting and he will never stop loving you. Why are you given to fear? (Jeremiah 31:3).
  • God loves you freely. There is nothing you did to deserve, merit, or earn His love. He loves you generously. What is that fear that can stand against you? (James 1:5 – 7)

Precious child of God, I pray for you today that your eyes of understanding will be enlightened to knowing God’s love for you, thereby subduing all your fears henceforth in Jesus name, amen.
