“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18 KJV.
Why are you holding back from pursuing your God-given dreams? Could it be fear—fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough, or even fear of success? Until you define your fear, you cannot conquer it. Fear thrives in ambiguity, but clarity robs fear of its power. 1 John 4:18 reminds us, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear." This love is not just affection—it’s a driving passion for purpose, a deep conviction that what is inside you is greater than anything against you. Remember Gideon—he was hiding from the Midianites when God called him a "mighty man of valor" (Judges 6:12). Once he defined his fear and embraced his divine identity, he rose in courage and led Israel to victory.
Like Zacchaeus, you may face obstacles that seem insurmountable—limitations in status, skill, or stature. What set Zacchaeus apart was his strategy. He defined what stood between him and Jesus and then climbed above it (Luke 19:3–4). That’s what you must do: name your fear, then climb above it with bold, faith-filled action. And never forget what 1 John 4:4 says: “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.” With God in you, no fear—internal or external—can stop you. You are destined to rise above, to conquer, and to fulfill your purpose. Go forth boldly and do great things with your goals, in Jesus’ name!
Prophetic word: I hear the Spirit of the Lord say, “This is the season of your rising, for I have not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. You have allowed fear to whisper lies, but I am now amplifying My truth within you. The fear that once held you back is being dismantled. The chains are falling, the fog is lifting, and divine clarity is coming upon you. Even as Zacchaeus climbed above the crowd, you too shall rise above every obstacle that has limited your vision and access. New strategies are being downloaded into your spirit. What seemed impossible will become your testimony of faith. You will see Me, says the Lord, and I will come to your house—I will make your life My dwelling, and I will do wonders through you. The fear within shall bow to the fire of purpose I have ignited in your soul.”
Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for the perfect love casts out all fear. I declare over my life today that fear shall no longer dictate my decisions, delay my progress, or deny me access to divine purpose. I receive the boldness of the Spirit of God within me, for greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. Lord, help me to clearly define every fear so that, by Your wisdom and strategy, I may overcome it. Like Zacchaeus, give me eyes to see, the courage to climb, and the grace to host Your presence. Let every inner doubt be silenced by the roar of Your promise. I decree that I shall move forward with passion, with fire, and with faith. No more stagnation. No more hesitation. It is my season of action, of breakthrough, and of fulfillment. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
