PJP2 “7 PRAISES” - 161031 - ON FEAR....NO fear ON FEAR....NO fear: Only kNowing the Father, Eternally Accesses us to Reconciliation/Redemption, and New assured Opportunity to forever escape awful results 1 John 4:18 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."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.".... A Blessed and Happy Hallow's Eve to you and yours. I have been praying and waiting before The Holy Spirit, today, asking specifically what WORD He would have me Share today as we prepare for another Halloween. The WORD He Kept bringing up through my devotional time.....FEAR....thus we find the J-ACRONYM today to be ON FEAR....NO fear. :) In a nut shell, makes total sense (well at least in my noggin')....IF we go through LIFE without our being linked (even lashed) to God The Father....That is attempting to accomplish our LIFE's Mission solo, without Him, then indeed the results of our doing this on our own are guaranteed to be awful. Our human tendency, due to Adam/Eve's fall from God's Grace by their selection to sin, can only lead to our further disobedience, destruction and ultimately death. Yes, that is a horror-story from beginning to end. BUT (Behold the Underlying TRUTH) - IF we would TURN from this way of wickedness, to His Path, Being Drawn To His ROCK by HIS LIGHT of LOVE, MERCY and GRACE.....then ON FEAR.....NO fear becomes our Blessed Reality. And The Gate, The Door that Opens onto His Path....None Other Than His Son, our Lord Jesus. So, as you and yours celebrate Halloween 2016 - I'd pray for Safety and overall our Lord's Presence in our Midst. May His Light Shine Through us as we gather. May we Stand Upon His ROCK of Grace and Share His Eternal Treat of Salvation.....In Your Holy Name we Pray....Amen and Amen....jaj
