2016-05-08 14,204 Sermon Confidence Foundational Beliefs The Father's Love 1 John

Today's Topic: There is No Fear in Love!

Last Sunday's sermon referenced a phrase from the Apostle Paul: If we are 'out of our mind,' it is for God. For the love of God compels us. Love is a very strong motivation. The love of God in Paul caused him to be willing to offer everything for God, even to be out of his mind for God. Don't be surprised, even if you cannot understand it, the feeling of being loved ignited Paul's entire life, and he began to share the love he received from God with the Corinthians. Rebuke was tinged with the love of a father and mother. It was a wonderful reception. All who receive God's love and are attracted by it will experience the best things in life! Once you have experienced the love that comes from God, you will know what a privilege it is to offer yourself to God!

Yesterday was Saturday, and as I led the prayer meeting, I began to feel God's strong presence within me. The Spirit of God led me to lead everyone in singing the hymns Pour Out and Can You. In a vision, I saw the temple of God surrounded by glory, and I was trying to climb the mountain. The love of God began to pour down, and my tears began to flow uncontrollably. I began to understand why Paul was willing to be so out of his mind for God. It turns out that living in the love of God, the feeling of being loved by God, is very strong. That kind of love can attract me to pay any price for God and to pass on God's love! I know that some brothers and sisters still cannot understand. Some even asked some interesting questions, such as if one day I don't want to serve God, but just want to have fun and enjoy myself, will God punish me? In fact, God is love! God is a God who loves you. God did not punish you when you were in such a bad state before, let alone if you want to have a good time and enjoy yourself. God wants you to be able to enjoy life! In the love of God, no one is perfect, and some still believe in God with fear. Therefore, brothers and sisters, we must begin to learn to receive God's love in God's love, and in Him, make our lives complete. If you want to enjoy it, then yearn for Paul's state of being completely in the love of God, the wonder of its enjoyment far exceeds anything you can play with. What I am telling you today is only that I have only experienced a little bit. I am beginning to understand why so many people, like the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John, offer their lives to serve Him! That is the most beautiful thing in life! When we sang these two hymns together, many brothers and sisters felt God's wonderful presence! When it was almost 5 o'clock, when I was about to lead everyone in a closing prayer, everyone did not want to end!

It turns out that the love of God motivates us to constantly leave the beginning of faith on the road of faith, to strive to reach perfection, and to experience the wonder of God every day. It is a wonderful journey of life! If God loves you when you are completely unworthy of grace, you will begin to experience God's grace. If you begin to strive to reach perfection, what grace would that be! Without the Lord's love, I really don't know how to live!

Human life needs to be nourished and nurtured with love. A life without love is an incomplete life. If a person does not receive God's love in his life, it is the greatest regret in life, and life cannot be complete. What people need most in life is not going out to play, although they can play.

Why can our online church attract so many people? Because here you can experience God's love and share God's love among us! The love of God is passed on through us who have received God's love! We are attracted by God, motivated by God's love, nurtured by God's love, and then serve with God's love! This kind of service is not fake; it is real. We love God, and God knows it. Those who do not love God, God also knows it! Because we are real, God hears our prayers, and we receive whatever we ask for in prayer!

Two feelings are most important in a person's life. The feeling of being loved must be obtained. Not experiencing the love of parents is not a regret, but not experiencing the love of the Father is the greatest regret in life! Another feeling is the feeling of fear, which must be removed! Living in the world with fear is really suffering! How to remove it? It is to remove fear in the love of the Father! Some time ago, thank God, many brothers and sisters were freed from fear. Every time I was moved in my spirit to pray for those who were afraid, the Spirit of God moved us to declare the love of the Father to everyone. It turns out that there is no fear in love!

This is the topic I want to share with you today: There is no fear in love!

Let's look at today's scripture.

Scripture: 1 John 4:16-18

1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1Jn 4:17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 1Jn 4:18 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.

God loves you, do you know that? Do you believe it?

When the old John wrote 1 John, he said, God loves us, we know, and we believe! This is not just empty words, it is a portrayal of the old John's life experience. I thank God that this is also a portrayal of my personal experience. In fact, it is also a portrayal of each of our experiences. Who among us has not experienced God's love through faith? Not one.

A few days ago, I looked through the testimonies on our website. I saw a very mixed-up person who is no longer in the church. At that time, he had a stomachache, and we prayed for him, and he was healed immediately. Did God know that he was such an ungrateful person? He knew. I also saw a testimony that the girl had menstrual pain and was in great pain. We prayed for her, and she was healed quickly. Then she abandoned God. Did God know that she was such a person? He knew! Why did He heal them? Is it because they are cute? I don't see any cuteness at all. That's because God is love! Fortunately, God is love, otherwise we would not be able to experience His love! Even if they believed in God, believed for only a short time, God still allowed them to experience God's love! I admire the greatness of our God! When we were still sinners, He loved us, died for us, and took our curses. I thank God that when I was a jerk, He didn't pinch me to death, but gave me a chance to repent and receive His love!

God loves us, do you know that? Do you believe it? In fact, God's love has always been there! In this world, there are two kinds of people, one is those who know that God loves us, and the other is those who don't know. If you ask those people why they know that God loves you, the answer is not logic, but belief. Those who do not know that God loves them can list a series of questions, reasonable logic, but they just don't believe it. What people believe, they get.

I am very emotional. I often meet some Christians who receive God's love and grace when they are very bad, but before long, they begin to fear. Coming to the meeting is a matter of receiving grace, but because of fear, fear of punishment, they force themselves to attend the meeting, as if God needs him to come and support the meeting. If he doesn't come to support the meeting, he will be punished. Without faith, you really can't get anything. I am beginning to think about whether we should convey the message well, not force everyone to come to the meeting, although we will still encourage you to come to the meeting, but we want to tell you to act according to the size of your faith. If you don't have faith, then don't force it!

Without faith, it is religious behavior. That is of no benefit. What you believe, you get. If you believe that God is a punishing God, a God of punishment, what you get is punishment.

Faith – Why do so many people like to listen to Jack Ma speak? He speaks of faith, of the future.

People without faith get nothing.

God's love is always there. Some people get it, some people don't. You can't get it without faith! Faith is the foundation, and God's love is the goal. Through faith, receive God's love and draw on God's grace!

Every testimony, every healing, every transformation of life is because of God's love! It was all bought by the Lord Jesus giving His life for us! May God motivate us so that through faith, even in difficult circumstances, we will still hold on to faith, believe that God is a good God, believe that God is a God who loves us, and that God will lead us into a land of abundance!

Receive God's Love Through Faith!

Speaking of receiving God's love with faith, I have to start with the concept of shepherding.

I think God is so wonderful. At first, I didn't know what shepherding was. I thought attending class was shepherding, but I found that attending class didn't work either. I thought that calling and greeting everyone was shepherding, but I found that after making many calls, lives did not change. After that, I found that there were changes inside me, and I began to feel hurt, tired, and sad. After that, I prayed to God, what is shepherding? The answer God gave me was simple and practical: build people's faith. Later, I led everyone on the road of building faith. As a result, I saw lives being transformed. It turns out that faith is the foundation. Without faith, there is nothing! From that time on, I began to lead everyone on the road of faith. I found that many people like to listen to my sermons on the website. The reason is very simple, it is because I am conveying faith. I am just conveying faith, conveying dreams, conveying visions, and conveying missions in different ways! The content of my sermons almost always talks about faith. Faith is the most precious character of a person! If you ask me why Jack Ma succeeded, it is because Jack Ma is a person of faith. With faith, there is a future. Without faith, there is no future.

It is a tragedy to lack faith. I have watched the post-80s generation go from eighteen or nineteen to twenty-eight or twenty-nine! A survey found that the post-80s are the most unlucky generation, having missed out on everything. Many post-80s had parents struggling to survive in drastic social changes, with no time to care for their children. As a result, many were raised by their maternal grandparents, truly lacking love. I've met several post-80s who basically grew up in boarding schools. Do they have the right to complain? Yes, they do. Do they have the license to complain? No, they do not. Complaining will not create a future. Begin to build faith, in faith, in Jesus Christ, to make up for the lack of love. Even if you lacked love in the past, today, be a person of faith. When you become a person of faith, God's love will make up for all the past lack of love!

Brothers and sisters, remember, faith is the foundation of life! Without faith, God cannot help you either!

Being able to receive love is faith. Faith is the root of love. No one without faith can have love, because love comes from God!

Faith grows day by day, and the Father's love is received day by day. As faith grows, the Father's love increases day by day!

Everything that pertains to life increases gradually!

Some say, I believe, but I cannot receive. What kind of faith do those with faith have? Only those who keep God's commandments have true faith.

The Bible, in black and white, when you read it, you will find that we are reading the same Bible. Many simply do not practice it. For example, speaking in tongues, clearly written in the Bible, yet they do not believe. Speculating and speculating, they gain nothing.

A sister said she had read the Bible eight times. I asked her, Did you read about speaking in tongues? No! Did you read about casting out demons? Yes, I did. Did you do it?

If you do not act, it is not true faith! You must act, then you will surely experience God's love!

Those who believe, keep God's commandments

Those who believe are those who believe in God's words, those who obey His commandments.

1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep his commandments. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:4 For everyone born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 1 John 5:5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, has risen from the dead. Do you believe?

The Son of God, Jesus Christ, has borne the stripes for us, so that we are healed. Do you believe?

The Son of God has taken our curses. Do you believe?

We have overcome the world. Do you believe?

If you believe, you will surely see God's grace! You will surely experience God's love!

1 John 3:24 The one who keeps God's commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Galatians 3:2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? Galatians 3:5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?

The expression of faith is obedience to God's word.

A sister in a traditional church encountered phenomena that could not be explained. The reason is simple: she did not obey God's word!

Those who truly believe act according to God's word! They can receive God's love, which is not helpless love, but powerful love!

The relationship between love and obedience

Only those who obey can receive love: Husband and wife – Christ and the Church

Faith – Obey His commandments, from small commandments to great commandments, step by step into His love!

Know that He does not harm us, but wants us to receive grace!

Our gospel is coherent, unlike what some say, which is incoherent. Why do many who seek come among us? We do not have those pretentious, unrealistic things, because we begin to rely on the Spirit of God to restore the original face of the gospel!

So that we may receive God's love, which is real love! No longer a powerless gospel.

A powerless gospel is a very serious problem. It cannot explain many phenomena. But once the power of the gospel is restored, these phenomena disappear all at once!

When we start with small commandments, with what is easy to do, we align ourselves with the greatest commandment!

The greatest commandment is to love God

God's words, God's commandments, are great and small.

Casting out demons, healing, and deliverance are small commandments. Speaking in tongues is a small commandment. The practice of faith is a small commandment. But the greatest, the most wonderful, is to love the Lord your God!

Start small, then go to the greatest!

I do not believe that those who cannot do the small can do the great!

Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:38 This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

When faith reaches a certain point, you begin to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, step by step! To love God is to love your brothers and sisters!

To love God is to fulfill the commandments.

It is a cycle: Believe – Act on God's word – Experience God's love, God's grace – Begin to love God – Believe more, act more easily, experience more of God, experience more of God's love!

This is a spiritual principle: Bless those who go out, and receive blessings; release love, and receive love!

To love God is to love your brothers and sisters (below)

Doing what you love has no pressure!

Doing what is forced

The key to solving problems is to love God!

God knows if you love Him. 1 Corinthians 8:3 But whoever loves God is known by God.

Originally, when we give, when we offer, when we serve, God's love descends among us!

Love is perfected in us

Becoming more and more like the Lord Jesus – Love is perfected in us!

The Father's love increases constantly in us, gradually becoming complete!

Ephesians 4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 2 Corinthians 5:15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

Moses once came before God for forty days and nights, without eating or drinking, solely in the presence of God.

Management concept – Legalist philosophy

Jesus – The philosophy of love

Separated from love – God's love is still there, but cannot be received. Obedience – Receives love; disobedience – Receives punishment, fear

Back then, the devil deceived Adam and Eve, causing them to be separated from God's love. Today, the devil can still separate people from God's love.

Perfect love drives out fear

God's love is perfect love! This love is the self-sacrificing love of the Lord Jesus! This is perfect love!

Begin to restore the faith within; God's love is perfect love! God's love, built on faith, is love with power!

Helpless love is human love! But God's love is perfect love!

Strong faith!

The transformation from fear to love – the transformation of faith

Fear comes from not believing in God, not believing that God can protect you.

Fear – A feeling, an uncontrollable feeling

A spirit of fear

The road of faith

Love can transform

Love is a weapon

Use the Father's love to make people perfect – Made Perfect

The love of Jesus Christ – Self-sacrifice

Those who are afraid, those who lack security, need faith, and faith is built through love.

Those who are hurt, do not abandon them,

Some time ago, I found that many brothers and sisters were controlled by things they feared. Begin to release them. When releasing them, the Holy Spirit wanted me to lead those being released to declare the Father's love. To remove fear, use love.

Fear – Is just a feeling.

A truck driver was commissioned by a family to transport a coffin. While the truck was moving, he suddenly saw a person raising a hand high, wanting a ride. The driver let him on. Then it suddenly started to rain, and the person went into the coffin and closed the lid to avoid getting wet. So he fell asleep inside. After a while, two more people raised their hands, wanting a ride. The driver let them on too. They happily sat next to the coffin. After a while, the person inside woke up, opened the lid, and stuck his head out. The two outside were terrified and involuntarily jumped off the truck. One was crushed to death by the wheels, and the other was seriously injured. Actually, there was nothing to be afraid of. It was just that a person jumping out of the coffin caused them to panic. In reality, fear is like that. There is nothing remarkable, but they are afraid and run away in advance, then get hurt and suffer.

Summary: Go and pass on the Father's love

Remove the myths of love. Compromise is not love; coercion is control.
