Should We Be Scared Now?

 I have spoken to many people (even chosen ones) who have confessed to me how scared they are with what is going on with infuriated people who are destroying things around, and some are killing others. I have also heard and read so many messages over the internet (Thank God now a days we can be informed about everything that is going on, although not everything is true) that my family feels I
should not  pay too much attention to them. I see them and read them but I do not let it hit me the way some are intended to.  I know what some people are capable of because I have lived it, somewhere else, but I’ve also seen others, and believe me it is incredible what people who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit can do to be in accord with our Creator who wants us all <To love one another> and< To pray for our enemies>, if we do this, you’ll be amazed in how everything will change for the good. Do you know why? Because we are complying with God’s  will, and He will favor us. You might not know this, but He’s in control of the situation in our world today and no matter how bad things might seem, no matter how much the “enemy” tries to eliminate us, they won’t succeed because, like the apostle John said: You are from God, little children, and have overcome them because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (I John 4.4)  Haven’t you read in the Old Testament the times the Israel people went to war with less than half of the enemy troops and they won? And the times their enemy killed each other? Haven’t you seen how a little country is so blessed as to survive in the center of the enemy? Who do you think protects them?

You could say: <what happened, then, at the Holocaust? Why then did God allow them to die like that if He protects them?  Did they give their back to God as we are doing right now? Because God’s Will is that we learn to know Him and appreciate Him. He has protected them and all of us He considers His children ALWAYS. It is very sad (when you visit Israel’s museum you feel the knot in your throat.) If they died they stopped suffering human injustices, and if they outlived the suffering it was for a greater purpose we might not know about, but we have to give God our trust, because He said: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55.9) We also know that whatever God allows us to experience is for our own good. (Romans 8.28)                 

Death is not the “end.” Actually, it is the beginning of real life for the righteous and agony for the wicked, so we do not have to worry if circumstances take us there. We just have to be prepared. Jesus said: Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10.28) It is true that nobody wants to die, but that’s a reality that we can do nothing about. We were born with that  inheritance. . .thanks to who?. . . to the same one who is causing all disturbances today: the real Adversary, Satan. I know a lot of people do not believe in him, much less in God, but if they listen to the believer’s reasoning, they can experience that peace that surpasses all understanding and change. That’s the reason Jesus came to this world to die for; to free us from that bondage Satan and all his supporters trick us with, constantly; reason why we should stick together and be strong with positive thinking and overcome fear with all our strength knowing that our Father in heaven will not leave us alone in this battle. We cannot weaken now nor be afraid because we have the One who makes us invincible  Who will bring a charge against God’s elect?  God is the One who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for  us.  (Romans 8.33, 34)  Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does NOT become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youth grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.        (Isaiah  40.28-31)

NOTE:  My aunt (100 Y/O) just died in CA of Covid 19. She’s in Heaven now enjoying real life in the presence of God with her family who also believed. Precious is in the sight of the Lord the death of His Godly ones. (Psalm 116.15)
