Good Morning Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Every day in this country and in this world the news brings more and more literal signs of godless depravity, reprobate minds, evil injustice, persecution of the Word of God and the Children of God, and false prophets, preachers, and evangelists. The rapid acceleration and escalation of pure evil, especially in this country, is stunning. Twenty-years ago, how many of us would have believed this country would be at the place it is with respect to our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our freedoms, Christianity, and the pure evil of an Administration and Congress?
If you watch the news, read the newspapers, or read social media, daily, it is easy to be overwhelmed with the barrage of what seemingly is boundless evil. There is no denying evil is at every turn and in every corner and rooted in every one of our nation’s institutions including the denominations and churches of this nation. Not all, but many pulpits, have been compromised by evil. Preachers, pastors, priests, bishops, whatever their denomination calls them, many are not even saved and many, although saved, are living as carnal men and women with respect to the Word of God. They fear if they preach and teach the inerrant, full gospel of Jesus Christ and grace, they’ll lose many of their congregation and funding. So, they compromise and preach and teach a false word. Galatians 1:8-9 tells us these men and women are “accursed” or “doubly cursed.” You don’t mess with the Word of God. You preach and teach every precept, every principle, every Word correctly – without error. If a man or woman of God is led by the Holy Spirit, they will NOT compromise the Word of God.
Deuteronomy 3:22
You shall not fear them: for the LORD your God, He shall fight for you.
“Who” are we not to fear? Satan, any evil spirit, any government, and any man or woman used by Satan or evil spirits to come against us, to persecute us, to afflict us, to bring judgment against us as Believers. We are to fear nothing in Heaven, in this earth, or under this earth. The only thing God tells us to fear in His entire Word is found in Hebrews 4:1.
Hebrews 4:1
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
I know, as soon as I say this about fear, I have a bunch of folks point out the Word says, “to fear God” in many places. The “fear God” that is used in the Old Testament means to “reverentially trust God, to trust His Word.” It DOES NOT mean to literally “be scared of Him.” This is a lie perpetrated by Satan and broadcast by persons ignorant of God’s Word. Yes, even some that are Believers.
“Entering into His rest” is putting all your trust in the Word of God, casting all your cares upon Him (I Peter 5:7), trusting in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5, Psalm 37:3), and committing all your way unto Him (Psalm 37:5). There are many other verses you can add to this list. God wants us to live at HIS BEST for us. He doesn’t want us to come short of it. Living in God’s best means we see all the promises of God’s Word come to pass in our lives and the lives of our family. And, if you believe it, it can happen!
Living at God’s best means that we DO NOT FEAR THEM. “Them” is anything of the curse that opposes God, His Word, and His Children. COVID-19 is of the curse. It opposes God, His Word, and His Children. This Administration is of the curse. It opposes God, His Word, and His Children. The “religion” of this world and this country is of the curse and opposes God, His Word, and His Children. The coming financial chaos is of the curse and opposes God, His Word, and His Children. I can go on and on. However, the major theme of God’s Word is “Jesus Christ is risen and has overcome the god of this world, the curse, and all that is in it.” Because of this, we are to HAVE NO FEAR of COVID-19, of this Administration, of religion, and of the coming financial chaos. Why? Because our God HAS ALREADY fought for us. Did you notice, “He has ALREADY fought for us?”
Jesus Christ’s resurrection and ascension to the right hand of God ended the fight. “It is finished.” Because of this, Deuteronomy 3:22 can be rewritten to say, “Do not fear them: for the LORD your God, He has put them under your feet.” Yes, read Ephesians chapter 1. God put Satan, his demonic forces, the curse, and all the world under our feet in Christ. In simple terms, there is nothing you cannot control. There is nothing you need to fear. With your mouth meditating, believing, decreeing, and acting on the Word of God, through faith, there is nothing you cannot control. Read Matthew 7:7-8, John 14:12-14, Mark 11:22-24, and Matthew 18:18-19. THERE IS NOTHING THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL. The scriptures are clear we are to operate just as Jesus did and receive the exact same results Jesus achieved. Don’t believe me because I said it. You are commanded in I John 4:1 to “try the spirits.” “The spirits” are the words given you (read John 6:63). All words are spirits – either good spirits or bad spirits. “Oh Larry, now that is being a little out there. You know the old saying, ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.'” Another worldly saying perpetrated by Satan to get Believers and people, in general, to devalue the power of words. What did God use to create all in the beginning? Yes, WORDS! Proverbs 18:21 tells us “WORDS” determines our life and death and our blessing and cursing. Jesus makes it a point to emphasize this again in Matthew 12:35-37. Our “words” have EVERYTHING to do with our life and death, our blessing and cursing.
WE, BELIEVERS, ARE NOT TO FEAR ANYTHING – of the curse, of Satan, or of the world. God’s Word can only do that which you believe. If you can’t believe it, it will not happen for you. Our Father, God, Abba, is so good, and He loves you with a love that passes all carnal understanding. Let me make something very clear. Our Father’s very nature makes it IMPOSSIBLE for Him to leave you exposed to the curse in any way. If He did, His Word would be a lie. He would not be pure love as I John declares. God, your Father, has given you EVERYTHING!! Now use it to prosper spiritually, materially, financially, and physically – ON EARTH – so you can be the blessing to others God has commanded you to be in Genesis 12:2-3, II Timothy 3:17, II Corinthians 9:8-11, among other verses.
A little bonus for you today.
Proverbs 13:22
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

A Believer is the “good man” spoken of in Proverbs 13:22. How is the good man going to leave a “MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL” inheritance for his children and grandchildren? God tells you in the second part of Proverbs 13:22. Are you praying in the “wealth of the sinner” for your family? Why not? You’re no longer ignorant, so this can’t be a defense. It’s up to you to learn to believe and decree. God wants His children to have the wealth of the world and use it as He commanded in Genesis 12:2-3 – to be a blessing and let our light shine before the world so they will see the good works of our Father and praise Him who is in Heaven. God wants us to abound unto every good work (II Corinthians 9:8) and be thoroughly furnished unto all good works (II Timothy 3:17).
There is going to be a second significant wealth transfer from the world, the sinner, to the just. The first happened when the Children of Israel were leaving Egypt, heading to the Promised Land. The second wealth transfer is beginning, right now, for a few years, just before the Rapture, when Christ (Moses was the type in the OT) leads His people, The Church, to the Promised Land of Heaven. This wealth transfer has nothing to do with Proverbs 13:22. Proverbs 13:22 stands on its own and has been so for thousands of years. This second wealth transfer coincides with the pouring out of God’s grace on this earth (where sin abounds, grace abounds much more) as God draws the Fulness of the Gentiles to a close. Believers are to use this wealth to minister the Word of God in every possible way, as the Holy Spirits leads and directs, before many are lost forever.
YOU SHALL NOT FEAR THEM!
Walk Mighty in the Name and Power of Jesus Christ, through Whom we can do all things.
