CASTING OUT FEAR THROUGH GOD’S LOVE

"Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. . . . Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."—Genesis 1:26-27, 31 NKJV

Human beings are created in God’s image and likeness. Nothing can take away this true spiritual identity or spiritual selfhood which is GOOD (Genesis 1:31). This is the absolute truth of who we are, regardless of all outward appearances to the contrary. In your prayers for yourself and others focus totally on that essential core truth. Don’t allow yourself to get sidetracked by sickness and other problems. If you dwell on these problems you are only fastening yourself or someone else in a death trap. Turn your thoughts totally away from the human issues at hand. This kind of prayer is difficult because there is something in our false human consciousness that wants to dwell on and cling to death in some form. Remember that "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”—1 John 4:18 ESV As we center on God’s love, fear of the human appearances is cast out. Fear is the great punisher and is only overcome by pouring in floodtides of God’s love. The love of God is all power and fear vanishes when truly confronted with that divine love. My prayer is that our hearts may be flooded more and more everyday with the inescapable and all consuming love of God. As we experience this we can indeed become healers after God’s order.

"Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.”--John of the Cross

Once you experience true freedom of living in the realm of Spirit rather than being fixed on the realm of matter you will find new joy, peace, and love for others that you've never experienced before. You can see all people as spiritual beings, made in God's image and likeness, despite their outward physical appearance. Living on this level brings healing wherever you go. I've been working with this more and more of late and am amazed when I see how this creates a whole new realm of relationships.
