When it comes to growing and maturing in the love of God, perhaps no one stands out more in the New Testament as an example for us than the Apostle John, who has been called the "Apostle of Love."
John was the only one of Jesus' hand picked disciples who could not be killed, no matter what his enemies did. History tells us that he was boiled in oil, but that didn't kill him. Other things were tried, but they didn't work either.
Finally John was exiled to the island of Patmos. But even then he could not be stopped because it was on that tiny island that John wrote the book of Revelation.
What made him so invincible?
John had the revelation of love from Jesus and he started confessing it. He centered his faith on it. He loves me ... God loves me ... and God is Love ... Love loves me!
Everyday I pray all that I come in contact with will experience God, will experience Love. Walking in this level of revelation of the love of God has produced a fear-free lifestyle for myself. Being so focus on God's love has kept all fear flushed out.
So believe the love. Receive it. Then keep yourself in it.
As you do, know that darkness won't be able to touch you either!
Much love,
