Fear is for the non-believer

Throughout God’s Word He implores us to trust Him and His Word. Do not fear. Do not be afraid and do not worry. Walk with the same faith as Elijah,Elisha and all the Prophets walked. Don’t let anything that you see or hear cause you to fear. I will never leave you nor forsake you, saith the Lord God Yahaveh.

I have for some time now been warning anyone who would listen that dreadful and perilous times were coming our way. The Bible foretold us of what we should expect to happen in this the last days and it is just about upon us. The internet is overflowing with information on what others see already happening right before our very eyes and their take on what the future holds. There are reports of horrible events taking place all over the world, weather warfare, hostage situations, governments collapsing, marshal law, internment camps and the list goes on and on. All this is intended to strike fear into the hearts of God’s children and to bring the world into total submission to their Evil Satanic will.

If you read Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 you will see that all this was prophesied long ago. Jesus told us in Luke 21:22 “For these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled”. What’s happening today and will happen in the days to come were set in stone long before we were born and nothing is going to stop it. The question remains, have you prpared yourself for the inevitable?

Soon you’re going to be put into a position of making a decision on many things presented to you now and in the future. What to believe, what not to believe, what to do and not do, whether to stand against something or go along with it. This will be a test of your knowledge of God’s Word and your faith in what it says. We as Americans have never been fully tested as others have in far away countries but that is about to change. Recently a Church in Afghanistan after US Troops pulled out were murdered for not converting to Islam. The last communication the Church had with the outside world reported that even the children said they would rather die than denounce Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Men Women and Children were slaughtered for their faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ. God gave them courage and strength to stand fearlessly in the faces of their enemies and He will do the same for you and I.

For those of us who serve the Living God (Ya-ha-veh) we know the destination but only part of the journey we must take to get there. All you and I have is Yahaveh’s (God’s) Word to trust in and stand on, so here are some scriptures we must all take to heart.

Psalms 31:24 “Be of good courage and He shall strengthen your heart (as He did the Church in Afghanistan) all ye that hope in the Lord”.

Joshua 1:9 “Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid; neither be thou dismayed; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goeth”.

1 Corinthians 16:13 “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men (do not quit like men do) but be strong”.

1 Chronicles 28:20 “Be strong and of good courage and Do It; fear not, nor be dismayed; for the Lord God even my God will be with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord”.

We as Christian Americans have a work to do for the house of God and that makes us Public Enemy Number One on the hit list of the Evil Rulers of this world until each and everyone of us have completed our work. In the not so distanr future we will all be tested to the point of being strong and courageous or weak and submissive. This is the same test that our brothers and sisters down through the centuries had to take. Tested like the Chruch in Afghanistan did by not bowing to the enemy and God, gave them the courage to stands fearless before their enemies.

One of the most compelling stories to come out of WWII was that of a Private who was having trouble adjusting to combat. His Lieutenant asks what’s going on with you and the Pvt. said, “I’m scared”. The Lt. told him well hell son we’re all scared. No the problem your having is that you hope that you’re going to make it out of this war alive. The truth is son you’re already dead and when you come to grips with that then you will start to function as a Combat Soldier and do your job.

This story applies to every Christian for we are not getting out of this world alive. “It’s appointed once unto man to die”. The other truth is that you’re not leaving this world by some miraculous event in order to escape the Great Tribulation and the quicker you come to grips with that the quicker you will become a Combat Warrior in the Army of the Living God. We all have a work to do in the not so distant future, so come to grips that your already dead, put on the Full Armor of God and get ready for combat. It’s coming whether you believe it or not.

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them; for the Lord thy God, He it is that doeth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee”.

What God is saying is to stand strong in the faith of God and show no fear in the face of your enemies.

Commandment #3 “Thou shall not bow down thyself before them. nor serve them”.

COVID19 was only a test, so it’s time to grow a backbone Church.
