Listen to poem:
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18 NIV God is love Satan is trying to keep all in fear Jesus came in perfect love That we might seek Him to drive out fear With His spirit to dwell within Only those which reject Jesus shall fear Of the punishment to come Ever wander why this world Loves confusion, fear and hate This is where Jesus came to save us from How many medications will we come up with To try and make mankind happy How many different drugs and alcohol To try and satisfy these impure spirits Why not call upon Jesus to cast them out So one might live in love, peace and joy To set their eyes above Not on worldly things lusting after things Of the flesh never to satisfy that void Please don't rely on this world to help you But seek the anointing of the spirit To reveal the truth in God's word No longer needing teaching from mankind 1 John chp. 3-5 tells so much Of what's going on around us It's the same today as then But getting worse and worse daily Mankind still living in the first covenant Trying to live good by the laws not to sin Instead of the new covenant Where Christ dwells within to mold one Pulling one away from this world With a new vision of looking from outside Of the chaos once living among in foolishness Dying moment by moment of thy will So Christ might reign within And reject all these impure spirits From entering His temple

Hi Stephan, You’ve penned a good poem with a powerful message on God’s love. I agree God’s love can drive out all fear. With that being said I battled with fear every since I was a child. I overcame a terrible by childhood but I still struggle with fear. Thanks for posting such a poem. Have a nice day-Alexis

No my will is bad : ) , all glory to God for molding me into what He wants me to be, through His spirit sent through Jesus, destroying me within what I had gained from this world to receive new life , it's not that we loved God but He loved us to send His son as a sacrifice to save one from death, I judge none for I was forgiven, just trying to bring awareness of what's going on around us, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance

No drugs or medicines can quell our fears and lessen our anxiety. Turn to God and there you can find peace, joy and contentment. The more we are lured by things of the world, the more restless and agitated we become. Invite God to come and stay within and His grace will flow exceeding all our expectations. So beautifully written dear Stephan.
