Transcending Fear
His name was Lucifer,
and his home was heaven.
Long story short, he was
summarily dispatched from heaven
and assigned to dwell upon the earth.
Thereupon, Satan was in the serpent;
The serpent was seen in the tree;
The tree was in the garden;
Adam and Eve was in the garden;
The garden was in The Garden of Eden.
FEAR was present, but deceptive and subtle.
FEAR was not in God;
FEAR was not in Adam;
FEAR was not in Eve;
Satan was the only abode for FEAR,
and he was disguised in the serpent.
FEAR cannot exist where there is perfect love,
which was present in the garden until the serpent arrived;
whereupon FEAR, although subtly, entered Adam and Eve,
who after listening to the serpent, and exercising their self will,
became FEARFUL and hid themselves from God, as they supposed.
FEAR* is Lucifer-based, totally derived from and distributed by him.
Lucifer has been allowed to operate for a time, but not for eternity.
All things being equal, FEAR will exist until Satan has been annihilated.
To transcend FEAR is to rise above the limits of, to surpass, to exceed, to outdo, to outshine, and to outstrip. To conquer and transcend FEAR is to eradicate Satan. I have every reason to believe that we can only transcend FEAR if we are able to transcend Satan, which we cannot. But God cannot FEAR and already transcends Satan. God can and will totally destroy him at His appointed time.
