by Nancy-TONI Youngbrandt One of the commissions that Jesus gave Chuck-JOHNEL for this ministry, years ago, was to "ENCOURAGE, EQUIP AND EDIFY" the Body of Christ. These articles are a part of that commission as we seek, by the Spirit of God, to help each believer develop a closer relationship with Jesus so they might grow in Christ, and into the son of God that each of us was created to be. We also seek to prepare the Body of Christ to be able to come through whatever may lie ahead, as well as any trial and tribulation one might be going through now. It is natural to want to escape and skip the trials and troubles of life but that isn't the way God operates. So the question is, how do we handle ourselves and have the victory over sin and fear that Christ has already won for us? Well, the answer is simple: in God's Love. But is it really that simple? I would say yes and no. Yes, if one has entered into, received and learned to walk fully in God's Love; but no, in the sense that many in the Body of Christ have yet to have a real transformative experience and Holy Spirit-given knowledge of the Love of God. In this article, the Holy Spirit leading is to explain what I mean by this further so that all may have the opportunity to enter into the depths of God's Love to where that Love transforms us and sets us free to have a new "boldness in the day of judgment": a Spiritfilled, God-centered, Christ-led boldness in God's Perfect Love.
GOD IS LOVE The Scriptural basis for this article is 1 John 4:15-19. This is where it says: "Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
God is love: and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."
