Wonderful truth!

I love the way Pastor Prince tells the wonderful truth , and want to pass it on.

Enjoy."God loves you." You’ve most likely heard this before. You might have been a child the first time someone told you these three incredible words. But knowing about it and believing it aren’t the same thing. Over and over again, we see in God’s Word that when His people truly believe that God loves them, they don’t just sit back and say, “Well, that’s nice.” No, they receive it into their hearts and it transforms every area of their lives. You see, when people truly believe that the Lord loves them, their relationship with the Lord deepens beyond anything they can ever imagine and the revelation changes their lives for good in a way nothing else can. Today, you can experience this same revelation in your own life! Now you might say, “Pastor Prince, of course I know God loves me. He loves everybody.” That’s not what I’m talking about. God’s love for you is not a vague, general sort of love. He loves YOU personally, intimately and passionately. This is not something you just learn with your mind and know in your head. It’s not enough for me to tell you this. I want you to experience it for yourself. Beloved, God loves you personally, passionately, unconditionally... perfectly. Knowing this changes everything in your life. Let’s look at one powerful way this perfect love transforms our lives. In 1 John 4:18, NKJV, the apostle John tells us, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment..."."Perfect love casts out all fear. My friend, by “perfect love”, John’s talking about God’s perfect love for us, not our love for God. That can never be perfect! And it’s your experiencing this perfect love of God personally that will drive out every tormenting thought and fear from your life. You see, you can’t drive fear out of your life by trying harder, being stronger or doing more for God to earn His protection or approval. The only way to get fear out of your life is to expose it to something stronger and more powerful… and there’s nothing in the universe more powerful than God’s perfect love. God’s love for you is so powerful that fear can’t co-exist with it! Receive His perfect love into your heart today!Romans 8:32, NKJV, says, "He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" When you realize how much the Father loves you—that He did not withhold His beloved Son so that you could become His child and forever have Jesus’ presence, favor and blessings in your life, peace and faith will fill your heart. My friend, I want to encourage you to personally receive the perfect love of God through the finished work of the cross today. When you believe in God’s love for YOU, it increases your ability to receive all the blessings God wants to give you. Whatever you need today—health, wholeness, favor or wisdom—you will receive effortlessly from Him! When you are so secure in His love for you, negative circumstances will no longer affect you the way they used to.
Awesome !
