Hello all, I pray that you are doing well this morning.
For God has not given us a Spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 2 Timothy 1:7
Have you thought about this, seriously?
First off, take the order of it. We know that the most important commandment is love, so why does it say power first?
Friends, I think that this is telling us that in order to do what God has commanded of us,we first need to exercise the power that He has given us. We have all the power over the enemy. God did not give us the SPIRIT OF TIMIDITY. As a matter of fact, He gave us the POWER TO DEFEAT OUR ENEMY, SATAN. After we exercise that power, we can go on to the next one, love. See, satan is going to do everything that he can to keep us from this one. Because he knows that this one is the one that shows Jesus to others.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. John 13:35
Friends, and then we come to discipline.
