It is an odd thing to rejoice in the middle of a nightmare. Perhaps even stranger to find peace in the middle of war. This world has secrets, not the mysterious, magical sorcery that they would have you ponder, designed to enable yourselves as fairy creatures that allow for super speed, knowledge and power. These are internal secrets of how to live this life in a way that is contrary to the fear based version they commonly portray.

We, created beings were endowed by our creator with certain rights, understandings and resemblance to Him. That similarity requires, even demands a realization that the Creator neither fears creation nor should those who have been created by His hand. You see fear is an invention of those influences who would see us enslaved in this world and helpless in the next. The Lord did not give us fear, what then is the secret to overcoming that same influence?

Love, perfect love casts out fear, driving its influence before it, dispelling it back into the realms of darkness where it normally resides.  You see, the Love for my family demands my lack of fear in defense of their frailties and innocence. The Love of my country requires that I stand in the fury of even apparently overwhelming odds and enemies defying their capacity to take that which does not belong nor shall ever belong to them. Love denies fear its power and authority of the righteous man who knows that although they may at most take this mortal life that they cannot touch me in eternity nor can they defend against the All Mighty God who loves me and defends me from their evil intention. You see even if I were to lose in a position in which I should have been driven cowardly by fear, they shall not escape the inescapable moment of their judgment before the Holy and Righteous God who created us all.

I get that the enemy sells fear to provoke, frighten, evoke paralysis and to instill an odd sense of despair and false authority surrounding the creatures of the dark. They do not rule, they are powerful but in the end the true ruler of everything says that we prevail and not in a minor fashion but in a way that makes it very clear that we were the rightful victors from outset. This is not a thing of fear this battle for the future of mankind. This is not a thing that gives fear some manner of victory in that we will stand our ground for as long as it takes to collect the last decision for Christ and properly and formally usher in the Kingdom of God.

Fear cannot be tolerated nor entertained for in its acceptance we are admitting our lack faith in a Sovereign, Almighty God. You see since He says that we shouldn’t be afraid it is then a thing of faith to dispel fear with love. The only fear we ought have is a rightful and righteous respect and fear for that Same God who made us. That is the rightful apprehension and respect that is the true sense of reverence in the eradication of fear. For I do not fear the Lord’s Judgment because I love Him with all my heart and know that He rewards the humble and has offered and I have accepted His gift of eternal life in Hope and Grace.

If you are frightened sit for a moment. This life is relatively short and then it is appointed to all men once to die and then the judgment.  What is it that you fear? Is it loss of money, stature, friendships, your life? Look to the fear first as illusion and walk through it with the understanding that it is an irrational spirit, and not a thing of God. This world is going away, do you fear that it will somehow go away faster than you expected? The evil influences serving themselves as the expense of men are going to face perfect judgment by a Worthy and Righteous King.  Do you fear them before that day of judgment, knowing that at some point they will be stripped of all power eternally? What is it that you fear. I know it is death isn’t it?

I get it the unknown can be a complex and distraught place of illusion and imaginary occurrence. But God has told us what happens to us the moment we pass from the plain into the next. We leave this life one moment and the next second we are standing before a Holy And Righteous God who wants to see us and welcome us to the throngs of heaven, our true family. What then is the fear intrinsic to this vision, to this perfect end? Perhaps, I would be fearful of not dying and remaining here for the collapse of humanity and the dissolution of historic and commercial religiosity and political structure. What you want those things to go as well. Well, I am refreshed because if your wishes are going to come true then the reason that existed for fear at the outset is now by nature, well irrelevant.

Live powerful, Live abundantly, Live full of Love and cast out fear in your wake as you walk this life with and for God. In Jesus Name.
