The enemy's weapon of mass destruction is death. He frightens mankind with the thoughts of death, so man tries to fulfill this fear with what they deem as "living". The other side of the coin is to beat mankind down with death so much that there is no "hope" for life. Unfortunately this is why the generations of youths in our society have no value of life because they have no hope, they don't care about taking your life because they don't care whether they live or die. The answer is to go to the source of life in order to find that hope and strength to stand against the attacks of the enemy. That source of life is the unblemished atoning blood of Jesus Christ!!!
John 6
53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed,[h] and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
While our Savior's mission was to bring life to mankind, the enemy has sought since day one to take it. When we come to Christ and gain eternal life, Satan then uses his agents of fear to keep us paralyzed from growing deeper in Christ which means we become free from this world and all the cares thereof. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour", (1 Peter 5:8). A roaring lion produces fear in the whole jungle, unless the animals know that they out number the lion. See he's roaring to get one of God's sheep alone so he can devour them. By staying in the protection and care of the Good Shepherd and listening to His voice alone, we do not stray outside the flock were we can be devoured. The fight between you and Satan is a personal one and the only protection you have is the Christ in you the Hope of Glory!!! Today, listen to the voice of your Savior and when the Lion Roars, keep your eyes fixed on Christ, STAND!!! Be Encouraged!!! Have a wonderful life of living free from the Spirit of Fear on purpose!!!!!
2 Timothy 1
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
