Pandemic of fear

 Luk 21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

 

There is another pandemic that is spreading around the world in the shadow of the Covid 19 pandemic. That is the pandemic of fear. Fear is spreading rapidly, and it is paralyzing people like never before. We could see during the pandemic how fear started to spread. People were afraid of getting infected. Some were afraid of restrictions, while others were afraid of the lack of restrictions. Some were afraid of their jobs, and some were afraid of the world economy. Fear continues to spread. There is fear of world war 3 and nuclear weapons. It is fear of pollution and destruction of life in the ocean. It is fear of climate changes and terror. The list is so long. I had two colleagues that told me they stopped watching news because of fear.

2 Tim 1:7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.Fear is a spirit. And it will soon control your life if you let it. Fear of being rejected… Fear of not being loved… Fear of not being seen or recognized…

 

But God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of POWER. That is the Holy Ghost. 

And of Love… That is the result of the Holy Ghost

And of a sound mind… That is the result of Love. 

A man or woman controlled by fear, doesn’t have a sound mind. But perfect love casteth out all fear. Be filled with the Holy Ghost. Let LOVE flow in your life, and fear will have no power over you
