How to “FEAR NOT” in Perilous Times
The Bible encourages believers to “fear not” and “do not be afraid” at least a hundred times with myriad more if you count variations, like “have no fear,” “do not worry,” “be anxious for nothing” and “do not be dismayed.” A good example from the Old Testament is Isaiah 41:10 while Luke 12:32 and Philippians 4:6 are examples from the New Testament.
Walking in a state of faith rather than fear is especially relevant today with corrupt politicians & their media auxiliary stirring up a pandemic of fear and prolonging it — the fear of getting sick, the fear of suffering, the fear of dying — followed by socially manipulating citizens to get experimental vaccines at the threat of losing their jobs, restricting travel & consumption and even being forcibly interred in FEMA camps. Anyone who claims this hasn’t been increasingly happening around the globe in 2020-2022 is naïve and misinformed.
Here’s an applicable passage for comfort and faith in these trying times:
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
Psalm 91:1-7
Here’s another:
“no weapon forged against you will prevail,
and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and this is their vindication from me,”
declares the Lord.Isaiah 54:17
Can a New Covenant believer claim these promises from the Old Testament by faith and walk in them? Yes. Paul said:
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 1:20
Anyone who’s “in Christ” — in covenant with God thru Christ — can claim these promises by faith. And this explains how, during the last couple of years of the C0vid outbreak and the corresponding hysteria, I’ve never taken a C0vid test, never had the symptoms and never worried about it except for a few days of melancholy in Spring, 2020, but I overcame it.
Update: I did finally get attacked by something resembling the flu for a few days in September, 2022, but resisted in faith, rested, and was fully restored; whether or not it was C0vid, I don’t know and don’t care.
This is walking in a state of “FEAR NOT.”
Anyone can do this but they have to do three things:
- Be a believer; that is, be “in Christ.”
- Turn off the fear-inducing misinformation of the lamestream media, which has to do with guarding your heart as the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23).
- Put on the armor of God on a regular basis (Ephesians 6:10-18).
The two most relevant pieces of the armor needed to overcome the mass C0vid panic are the belt of truth and the shield of faith:
- The belt of truth has to do with procuring the truth on which you base your faith (otherwise you won’t have faith). This would include the above two passages — Psalm 91:1-7 and Isaiah 54:17 — which are promises from God’s Word on which you establish your trust/belief.
- The shield of faith is activated by releasing your faith thru speaking according to the promises of God, which corresponds to the fact that your words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). This invisible “shield” erected around you will extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one,” including any dangerous virus (Ephesians 6:16).
This is how you FEAR NOT in perilous times like these. As Psalm 91 puts it, “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you” (verses 5-7). Hallelujah!
Make this your confession and make sure you don’t cancel out faith with negative statements of fear, such as, “Oh, no, this virus (or new variant) is going around! Everyone’s getting sick or dying! I’ll probably get it next!!” Anyone who walks in fear like this will automatically cancel out their faith and thus there will be no shield to protect them. Don’t be like that.
This article is given in the spirit of humility and concern for people. There’s zero arrogance or condescension. The LORD said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). That’s why so many sincere believers are succumbing to fear of the virus, including Pentecostals and Charismatics. The only antidote to lack-of-knowledge is knowledge/understanding and the wisdom to apply it. Rise up O Man of God, Rise Up O Woman of God in a spirit of faith! “Be strong in the Lord and the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10 KJV). Amen.
