The Antidote To Fear

The Antidote To Fear
by Ps. Joseph Prince (new creation church - singapore)

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…

Experts tell us that babies have two natural fears: The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. A study on fear was conducted on 500 adults of varying ages, backgrounds and lifestyles. The results showed that there were 7,000 different fears shared among them. This means that they have learnt 6,998 fears since they were born. That is a lot of fears learnt!

Actually, our bodies are designed for faith. Fear was foreign to man until Adam sinned against God. For the first time, Adam knew fear, and he hid from God and said, “I heard Your voice… I was afraid… I hid myself.” (Genesis 3:10)

Since then, man has been living in the realm of fear — fear of the future, fear of what others might say, fear of diseases, fear of flying… Actually, every fear is born out of the feeling of being cut off from God. If you think that God is still mad at you, that He is out to punish you, how can you have faith that everything will be all right? How can you have faith for your miracle?

But I have good news for you. There is a sure antidote to fear. The apostle John says that “perfect love casts out fear”. When you know that God so loves you, that He gave His Son to take your beating so that you can take His blessings, you will stop fearing.

God so loves you that at the cross, Jesus was rejected so that you could become His beloved. It wasn’t the nails that kept Him on the cross, it was His love for you. And if God didn’t withhold Jesus, why are you afraid that He will withhold healing, finances or a blessed marriage from you? (Romans 8:32)

Today, when you hear His voice, you will hear Him say, “You are my beloved child, in you I am well pleased.” And you don’t have to hide but you can run to Him with no fear because He is not out to punish you. He is out to protect, prosper and provide for you, so fear not!

The Family Of God Eph 2:19 So then, you Gentiles are not foreigners or strangers any longer; you are now citizens together with God's people and members of the family of God. Imagine how do you feel if mr. president wants to call u as his children, you must be really happy and proud.. And it will make u even more blessed that God has chosen you to be His child..He choose you…!! What we learn as the Family of God 1. We’re God’s family Gal 6:10 Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith. Be kind to each other who has the same faith 2. We’re Gods children Joh 1:12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. He’s the initiator to make us His children, not us. Ro...

Just today i witness that he can stand up by himself by holding my clothes, so amazing.. he always amazed me each day..and i'm so glad that i can see he grows everyday.. He's so smart.. sometimes he does thing that i cant understand where he learn that from. Like dropping things on purpose.. etc.. He's so adorable.. i never get tired of hugging and kissing him :) Can't wait until he calls me mommy and walk.. I'm so blessed to have him as my son.. Me and David is a blessed parent for having him..
