There is No Fear in Love

The Word of God says in Luke 10:27,“Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.”

According Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy We maintain our independence in thinking. If there is anything that I don’t want to have is somebody who is controlling my thinking. No one is controlling your thoughts and decisions as a human being. We have our own freedom of choice.

All we have to be shown is what is evil and what is good. What is God’s Will and what is not God’s Will. Then, it’s up for us to decide and use that independence in choosing freely what the Will of the Father is and what is not the Will of the Father. If you have chosen not to do the Will of the Father, I would even respect your choice. Although I would be parting ways with you but I will still respect your choice because that is the choice given to us.

"Love, Not Fear"
There is no coercion here in the Kingdom. No one is being subjugated to fear. No one is serving the Father out of fear. Of course, we have the ‘fear of the Lord’ because we love Him. We don’t have the fear of the Lord because we fear Him. We have the fear of the Lord because we love Him. You don’t fear me because you fear me. You fear me because you love me, so the way you treat me is the way you treat the Almighty Father. I love the Father. He did not force me into the ministry. He did not subjugate me into fear to love Him. I serve Him, I love Him, I defend Him, and I give myself up for Him because I love Him. Why do I fear Him? I fear to do the things that displease Him. Do I fear because of fear? No, I don’t fear because of fear. I fear because of love.

When fear is not based on love, that fear is demonic. It’s devilish. You have to rebuke it. When fear is based upon fear of losing your life that’s why you have to obey, that is a demonic fear.

The love of the Father is a kind love. The fear of the Father is based on our love of Him. We love Him because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19) It is always love that is the basis of our service to the Father. It is always love that is the basis of our relationship with Him because God is Love. He didn’t say, “God is fear.”

When you are dealing with Satan Lucifer the devil, he will terrorize you into submission by putting demonic fear
in your heart. When I feel that, I will fight against it, I will resist it. What does the bible say? “Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) Don’t be afraid of the devil terrorizing you. Anyway, he’s already vanquished. I am just saying this for all of those who are still ignorant of his tactics and devices. All of you out there who wanted to become appointed sons and daughters of the Father Almighty, I would like to announce to all of you, Satan Lucifer the devil is vanquished forever. He has no more authority.

He has no more power. He has no more dominion. He has no more victory over us. It is the reign of the Father through the Appointed Son. And that reign is always based on the Supreme Law that always dictates upon us or that always pervades upon us and it is the ‘Law of Love.’ Love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your spirit. And Love your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27) He didn’t say, “Fear God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your strength, with all your spirit.” He didn’t say that first of all. He said, “Love God… and love your neighbor as yourself.” He didn’t say, “Fear your neighbor.” If my neighbor is instilling fear upon me so that I would respect him and I would love him, I will tell him, “You go to hell yourself with that fear you are instilling in me.” You try to poke a gun on my head and you say, “You love me or else. You follow me or else. You respect me or else…” If you do that to me, I would tell you, “You go to hell with your gun. I won’t respect you. I won’t love you when that is the basis of your relationship with me.”

People of God, our Almighty Father said that to us, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” (John 8:32) We have to be free of fear. That is why I do not respect terrorists because they use fear and terror so you will submit yourself to them. That is the tactic of the devil against your souls, against your spirits.

--Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy
