Perfect Love

Fear and Torment
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. NKJV
2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man/woman of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. NIV
Fear, Anxiety and Stress disorders flow out of a lack of receiving love. As we untie the cords that hold us and allow ourselves to believe and receive love then we cast out Fear.
Therefore the person that hasn't experienced unconditional love is open for the spirit of torment.
With that casting out of fear the spirit of torment leaves as well.
God said there is no fear in perfect love. While most of us know He is speaking about his love for He alone is perfect and gives perfect love to us, we also know those who have experienced deep wounds have a hard time letting God's pure love touch them. They're wanting desperately to experience this love yet hindered by fear of punishment and torment.
I believe the Father is showing me that thousands of hurt, broken, and needy vessels will be looking to the church very soon for perfect love. Yet, we the church, for the most part, are still bound ourselves and not free. We still need to find perfect love within the body of Christ ourselves. Remember perfect love cast out all fear. those who have not found that love have fear as a result. It is our problem, and it is time for the body of Christ to take a good look at the way we treat one another. Do we really love as Christ or not? Each of us must answer that question for ourselves, but remember we can't fool the Lord. He sees all and hears every conversation.
I submit the word below and pray that your heart is preparing itself. We are in a karios moment that has never been offered before. We have so much in America and yet we lack more than the church has ever lacked. We are not honest about who we are and how we think and feel as a whole. It must stop! I am right there with all the others. The Father has his finger upon my heart as well. (And I don't like what I see!) But, I want to be ready and used in this next move of the Spirit. Please hear me: He isn't going to use those that look good but, those who are truly full of His perfect love, which casts out all fear.
These new saints will have to know they are loved and that the Spirit of God has called them for such a time as this. We must be able to tangibly show them perfect love. We must teach, guide, and equip them so they can go and begin the process all over again.
This is the word I received tonight from the Father.
God is calling us, "Come to the mountain of the Lord!" Allow me to show you my perfect love, that you might heal and untangle yourselves so that you are able to love those who will soon come to your doors. Yes, I will open doors as I have spoken to many. But, will my church be healed and ready to receive those I am sending??
The time is now; the day is today! You must allow the Spirit of Grace to penetrate the hardness of heart so you can receive my pure love and find your own strength to love as I love. I am ready to pour out My signs and My miracles to the lost, to the weak, and to the perishing. You must make your heart my home where we become one with each other.
I AM and I am searching to and fro for those who are preparing their hearts to serve MY Kingdom, which cannot compare to man or man's schemes. You have not seen what I have prepared for those who will follow me into the place I am going.
Preach, "Prepare ye the way," then, watch and see who will follow the hard truth of holiness and love. Then march side by side and prepare yourselves for the greatest harvest ever to come into the fullness of my body.
