STAY SAFE, BE CAREFUL, AND FEAR

Stay safe and be careful are NOT commands that are found in the Word of God! The Word of God says: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea:” -Psalms 46:1

But that is what is happening to the many who have been misguided, who have been locked down with the narratives of fear and pummeled by the prince of the power of the air (waves). His fear mongering media has pushed his agenda of fear based on a contrived phenomenon relentlessly.  The phantom spirit of fear behind this biological weapon and our allegiance to his lie has become a “sacred cow” to too many of our precious citizens, including those who profess to trust in Jesus Christ. And is this fear not just promoting worship of yet another “golden calf” of idolatry?

 We belong to God who has sworn to defend and protect us as we walk in His truth and obey Him. To question or resist the validity of this “medical emergency” has been seen as bordering on vicious irresponsibility. And what is happening to those who are being guided by the spirit of fear as they choose to seek protection and safety through the Enemy’s solutions? 

His effort to set up accusation and division among us are merely wonderful side benefits to Satan’s agenda to kill millions of us in this spiritual/invisible war. Many have been sold out to the spirit of fear by listening to the spirit of “be safe”. Many of those who are buying into being “careful and safe” at all costs are victims of their own traumatic childhood experiences. All of those unresolved traumas are now being collectively gathered by the Enemy to create a psychological/emotional storm in their lives to shut down courage and trust and sweep truth and faith in God right out of their mind. 

What is the lie trauma has told you? – What is the lie that trauma now uses to control you? I recently counseled someone who has been locked down in their house for many months for fear of getting sick. We asked the Wonderful Counselor, Jesus Christ, to show her where she had first agreed with the lies terror and trauma had told her. He took her back to the memory of her father dying suddenly in the night.  She was a child at the time. As the events of the memory unfolded, she remembered staying in her bed, isolated from the terrible events going on in her parent’s room to save her father. She also remembered feeling helpless, terrified and afraid. 

And, as often the case with death and trauma, we begin to search frantically for something we could have done to prevent the tragedy. The Enemy is more than happy to fill our hearts with all kinds of suggestions and scenarios. If only he would have been more careful and not gone hiking the day before, if only I would have…  I could have prevented this tragedy. In her case, the solution to sudden terror, tragedy and death was to isolate and be careful so nothing bad ever happened again. From then on, the family mantra was “Stay safe and be careful.” Whenever they left the house, they spoke those words to one another. (That all seems well and good except, Satan used those words to hook her into a subconscious agreement with the spirit of fear that put the burden on her to keep safe by being careful).

All of these panic events are designed to re-trigger traumatic things from our past. When we do not realize the “mind games” Satan is playing with us, we are tempted to become afraid. That temptation to fear is intended to create a greater surrender to the “experts” who DO NOT always have our best interests or safety in mind. We are so afraid we are willing to take any measure to prevent something bad from happening by agreeing to participate in something more deadly that the thing we seek to prevent. 

The Word of God for today is: “I hate the double-minded, but I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word. Depart from me, you evildoers, For I will keep the commandments of my God! Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Hold me up, and I shall be safe and I will observe your statues continually.” -Psalms 119:113-117

Only the foolish will follow fools and refuse the counsel of the Lord. Do not be caught up in demonic fabrications. Lies fueled by the demonic narrative have been mixed with personal trauma to inject us with fear and separate us from the love of God.  How many times has our Lord, the Great God of heaven and earth told us to not fear?  So if He commands us to not fear, then to be fearful for your life is actually the same as committing a SIN! The antidote for fear is to KNOW that you KNOW that you are loved by God.

“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.” -Psalms 9:10 Our safety is in the Lord God.
