FEAR EXTINGUISHING in 2022
I don't think the Lord could have spoken a more relevant word to us, to His Church, at the beginning of Covid than the word to go and "EXTINGUISH FEAR" in the lives of the people we would interact with.
I've shared this thought before, but it was in God's infinite wisdom that instead of just giving us a task, a mandate, during Covid, He actually intended to keep us free of any and all fear.
As we now enter into our 3rd year since this thing began to infect the planet back at the start of 2020, the mandate has not changed. God's people are to always live free from fear.
As it has been said, the commandment "Do not fear" is found something like 365 times in the Bible (I don't know if that is a scientific number as I've never counted).
The only way we were able to do that was to do the things God's commanded us to be doing - to meet together IN PERSON. To minister to each and every person we can with the truth of the Gospel and God's sovereignty and leadership.
For Christians that did not obey God... who did not continue to meet together IN PERSON, who isolated themselves from others, who didn't turn off the demonic propaganda of the 'fake news'...the past couple of years have been a disaster. Many have actually lost their faith. Others have essentially lost their faith due to drifting into an apostate "progressive" form of Christianity, that is NOT the Apostolic faith.
Jesus said on numerous occasions..."To him/her who has ears to hear, let them hear". The Holy Spirit is asking that question right now to people. Have you become a captive? Have you slid into deception? Are you living a life that is characterized by fear? Are you one who's been tossed around by the demonic messaging of the mainstream corporate media?
It is time to wake up...It is time to repent...to say, I will no longer walk in fear. I will believe what God's Word says...I will trust in His promises.
Let the Holy Spirit EXTINGUISH any and all fear in your life as we start this new year! It is time to "rise and shine". It is time to find others who are awake, who are a part of the "remnant", who have resisted the schemes of the enemy and are alert and sober-minded.
Have your fear extinguished...and then....GO and extinguish the fear in others by the power of the Holy Spirit. We have not seen what God will do, what He intends to do.
For such a time as this...
Amen, brother. God di not give us a spirit of fear, but His Spirit of power, love and a sound mind. We have been created for a time like this and will do great exploits for the Lord Jesus!
