Isaiah 41:10
King James Version
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand of my righteousness.
Many have no idea who, or what, causes fear in us.
Is it a real person, or an "entity"?
Is it just circumstances?
Or is there more?
Find out as you keep reading.
Panic is understandable.
But it can be destructive.
Panic sets in when you feel everything's out of control.
That you don't have power over anything.
That you're sheep being led to your slaughter.
That everything is useless, hopeless, fruitless.
That everything will fall upon your head.
So, your mind imagines all sorts of things.
Literally taking the better of you.
And surely, nothing ever positive.
Obviously not a healthy way to live.
Hardly productive, and proactive.
Creating unnecessary stress upon you.
And surely upon others, too.
Especially if you've gone overboard.
And no one can speak sense into you anymore.
Your whole body shutting down.
Your whole system refusing to function.
What good would that do, for yourself, and others?
Instead of being a solution, you became the problem.
When there's already a problem you need to deal with.
You added yourself to it.
How can you possibly function?
How can you help?
How can you be of use to others?
You can't.
You have become your own additional problem.
In these end times, all the more we need GOD.
Only He has power over EVERYTHING.
Romans 13:1
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject
unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
Further, we are battling against forces that aim to destroy us.
In whatever way it can.
Especially bombarding our "temples".
The body is the "TEMPLE of the HOLY SPIRIT".
Expect non-stop attack from CHRIST's enemy.
Encompassing both believers, and non-believers alike.
Boy, how the enemy would want you destroyed!
You have no idea his ways, means, and methods.
But we've written about that here.
We are all in spiritual warfare every moment.
Satan looks for a loophole.
A weakness in you.
An opening wherein he can corrupt.
He doesn't do anything to you that he's not already seen.
A certain weakness.
A penchant.
A predisposition.
A lust.
Many are not physically, psychologically, and emotionally equipped to fight his attacks.
But the true born again is equipped for such a battle.
We have the WORD of GOD to protect us, and keep us on track.
We have Scripture to feed our soul.
As constant attacks are upon our soul.
Especially when you're "asleep" in your soul.
And yes, when you sleep for the night.
When "attacked", say the simplest, childlike prayer:
"Please help me, GOD!"
When you're not with, and of GOD, you're vulnerable to such attacks.
You won't have the proper "arsenal", or protection.
Confusion will set in.
Panic will follow.
Chaos is the result.
You will literally unleash your own hell.
You can cause harm upon others.
You can cause confusion in others.
You can cause panic in others.
Now, it's one whole CAULDRON of collective chaos.
EXACTLY as Satan wanted.
And he didn't even have to lift a finger.
All he did was "play" with your mind.
Feed upon your emotions.
Make you gang up on each other.
Bite each other like rabid dogs.
And yet, nothing gets done.
The problem has not been solved.
Worse, you've all become part of the problem.
You may even lose sight of what the original problem was.
Now, you have more problems to deal with.
Satan's fingerprint, for sure.
What is panic but a whole conflagration of emotions?
You imagine what's not there.
You create what you should not create.
You imagine all sorts of "scenarios".
Your "what ifs" will not stop.
Your mind will collapse upon itself.
Again, EXACTLY as Satan wants.
Of course, he's up to more.
He wants your body to follow.
With your mind out of control, your body will follow suit.
Your system may crash.
You may fall into "shock".
You will allow yourself to.
Just to escape, and not deal with it.
Hoping for someone else to solve it.
You will collapse.
You literally "shut down".
All because you think you can't handle what you think will come.
What do you think will come?
As if you know what will.
Only GOD knows.
That's why JESUS lambasted even His disciples:
Matthew 17:17
King James Version
17 Then Jesus answered and said,
O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you?
bring him hither to me.
That's why people get sick.
Mentally, emotionally, and physically.
The body is a beautiful system created by GOD.
But when panic sets in, all come crashing down.
We forget our divine heritage.
Your circuits go haywire.
No amount of talk will get you back.
Only a true born again is equipped to fight this spiritual battle.
Only because we know who "dunnit".
We are equipped to fight such battles.
Relax, and TRUST GOD.
Who knows what's to come, but the LORD?
Who knows Satan's machinations, but the LORD?
Who knows man's weaknesses, but the LORD?
SPIRIT and Scripture tell us all these things.
Find your comfort in CHRIST.
The LORD JESUS offers PEACE.
Not just for the moment, but forever.
A true born again knows JESUS is the ONLY real thing.
He is fulfillment of Scripture.
He is fulfillment of GOD's POWER on earth.
He embodies everything GOD is.
Satan will weave lies, chaos, corruption, deception, and destruction.
He will pit people, against the other.
He will make your mind, mincemeat.
He will laugh at your confusion.
He will gloat over your personal chaos.
He will celebrate when you've "infected" others.
That's how you know he's "gotten into you".
From that point on, you're subject to his influence.
Be not afraid, though.
JESUS cares for each sheep.
Luke 15:3-7
King James Version
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep,
if he lose one of them, doth not leave
the ninety and nine in the wilderness,
and go after that which is lost,
until he find it?
5 And when he hath found it,
he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 And when he cometh home,
he calleth together his friends and neighbours,
saying unto them,
Rejoice with me;
or I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 I say unto you,
that likewise joy shall be in heaven
over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons,
which need no repentance.
John 10:27-28
King James Version
27 My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
GOD assigned people for JESUS to save.
John 6:37
King James Version
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:39
King James Version
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me
I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
Beware panic attacks.
That's Satan hooking his filthy claws upon your cranium.
With that very hook, your panic will hook others, too.
Hasn't it been said, "Panic is contagious"?
Now, you're all one triumphant harvest for this dark nemesis.
Only by being born again can you be free.
For you will only trust JESUS.
You will live by the Bible.
Nothing can faze you.
Nothing can cause fear upon you.
Most of all, you're FREE of panic.
Isn't that great comfort for you, or anyone?
FIND your FAITH in JESUS, dear friends!
He is our ONLY HOPE.
