Bill Johnson on Love's Dominion Over Fear - Charismatic (1 John 4:18)

Source: Bill Johnson49 words

"Love and fear cannot coexist—one DOMINATES! When God's love invades, fear has to FLEE! This isn't gentle; it's WARFARE! Love is aggressive against everything that threatens God's children! Command fear to GO in Jesus' name; receive the Father's LOVE that conquers all!" — Bill Johnson. Charismatic: love dominates fear.
