What is Love? These are necessary questions to answer if we are to walk in victory over<br>fear. We know that fear doesn\u2019t come from God, because \u201c\u2026God has not given us a spirit of fear\u2026!\u201d  What has God given us? He has given us Power, Love, and a Sound Mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God has given us POWER! This is a far greater power than anything the devil can withstand. The<br>word \u2018power\u201d is the Greek word, dunamis, which is supernatural power that heals sicknesses and<br>diseases, destroys yokes of bondages and all forms of fear. The scripture says God has already given this power to us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God has given us LOVE! Galatians 5:14 says, \u201cFor\u00a0all\u00a0the\u00a0law\u00a0is\u00a0fulfilled\u00a0in one word,\u00a0even\u00a0in this: \u201cYou<br>shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u201d There is no law against love, which means fear can have no place to accuse us! Love is the very thing the devil fears. He will flee when he sees it in us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, God has given us a SOUND MIND, which is a disciplined mind. A disciplined mind is one that<br>doesn\u2019t give place to anything that contradicts or opposes the Word of God. A sound mind recognizes the<br>plots of the enemy because it is anchored in the scriptures and meditates on the Word of God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LOVE is a Person. God is Love! (I John 4:8,16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fear is a spirit. It is the very spirit of satan \u2013 satan is a dead, defeated, and paralyzed spirit who was literally<br>trounced by the Son of God, the Risen, Victorious and Triumphant Christ! His love has and will always TRUMP THE SPIRIT OF FEAR!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Love,<br>Pastor Tom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-daa048396090f040f9f76b4bf27e3fd5\">Kingdom Business is Eternal, as are the rewards that come from God.
