John 4:18 I am not tormented because all fear is cast out in God's perfect love, I stand on that promise daily
Can you break that down for me...I do not understand?

well I am not tormented, which means you claim your mind is not struggling with fears and oppressions because, ALL fear is cast out in God''s perfect love which means it is all about God's love for you and He did not die on that cross for you to be tormented , so stand in faith and refuse to accepet that torment or fear or oppression , hope that makes more since

the enemy the devil comes to kill steal and destroy but Jesus came so we may have life and have it more abundantly

...

we are in a constant battle daily with the enemy, and if we hang onto what God wants for us ( which is not easy all the time) hold fast to His promises , that would be renewing our minds we can stand and walk through our trials and not get burnt like the three boys in the bible that were thrown into the fire

belovedd,

I do get what you are saying. But, I do have to have my strength but thru Christ..because I am fighting for things today...that are beyond my control. you would not believe me if I told you and might think I am crazy..but am not. I pray for God's shield of protection constantly.

aw, people think im crazy all the time. i was raised in a family that did not take me to church. the Lord has made Himself known to me. have you ever heard the phrase "ocean of love"? we would literally drown if God lavished even a trickle of the love He has for us. He is not a far-away untouchable stranger

unfortunately God's timing is not the same as our timing , it is hard , but you are getting stronger and stronger

....

have you ever heard the story of the tea cup?? that went through so much from clay to molding to spinning and spinning and then in the firey furnace and he kept crying the Lord . please Lord stop this ,why must I go through this torment , but when the little teacup came out of the furnance it was a NEW TEACUP the most beautiful teacup ever that he could have imagined to be , do you understand what I am saying ?
