Fear stops You! I know it well or did know it. One time I was the Queen of Fear. And fear mongering is growing in our world. It’s a way to control YOU! Isolate you. And one can hide behind closed or partial shut shades, peeking out.
And you may ask, do I have the guts to come out and live without fear?
Fearmongering occurs in many lives. And someone is causing that fear. I call them fear breeders.
Fear breeders grow fear.
But how do they do this, grow fear?
It’s the way they deliver their knowledge. It’s their god, information that is. They know a little about a lot with shallowness. And if you try to dig into their depth with core questions, you will not go deep with them.
Their love of knowledge is to use it on you. Power. Manipulate. Intimidate. One-Up-You! That is BIG!
They use their little pieces of information to dangle it in front of you, like a forbidden fruit, to see you become unsettled, unnerved, and unraveled. FEARFUL! Biting your nails, picking your scabs, and then you are STUCK in their control.
Their motive is about CONTROL.
Then they stir the pot of your life to create more chaos. This is BIG in abuse.
If you are in that pot of chaos, and remain in it, the fear breeder stays in control and keeps you on edge. It puts you in a sense of panic and helplessness. Then your eyes are set upon the fear breeder to solve the problem, as if only the fear breeder can answer, guide, or be the hero to create a way out of the chaos. You tend to rely only on their knowledge, after all they portray they know it all. And they trap you in a web of fear.
This is one way to recognize a fear breeder, do you walk away with more or less fear after talking with that person?
Psalm 1:1-2 states, “Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the Law of the Lord, And on His Law he meditates day and night” (NASB).
Notice, we are not to walk, stand, or sit with scoffers. And let me share fear breeders are scoffers. They are pumping themselves up to be like god and know it all. And they are not GOD!
I gave you some warnings for people that breed fear. Now, how do you combat this?
- Fear is not of God. So if you are with a person and they breed fear and they hound you with it, limit your time with them. Remove yourself. Reread what Psalm 1:1 says.
- To fight fear we must know the TRUTH. Fear is not of God. It is of the evil one, Satan. Scripture says “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NASB).
- Run to Jesus for the sound mind. Speak Truth to yourself. John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly” (NASB).
Getting real!
We are living in days that are increasing with evilness. FEAR is multiplying! But it need not BE for you. Take control of your mind to live a good life! No one else can do your thought smith-ing for you. Ask yourself:
- Who is responsible for my life?
- What do I need to change in my life?
- What thought is causing me to run to fear?
- Do you desire a different result?
