Satan Is A Virus, But God!!

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

I am not sure if any body else is sick and tired of the fear mongers in the news media scaring everyone with the outbreak of the Corona virus making it sound like the apocalypse is on the doorstep and death is certain causing the stock market to plunge. Sure you need to take precautions but you don’t need to get scared and lock yourself in a sanitized container.

Once again it gave me a devotion idea. You know who the worst virus is? Satan. The schemer, liar, divider is kind of behind all this too cause the puny little weasel loves to see people scared even better if it is person who claims to be a follower of the Most High God. Everyone can be cautious but you don’t have to feed your mind 24/7 with doomsday reports. That is what sells papers are tragic stories. Purpose in your heart today, you will cover your mouth when you cough, use hand sanitizer but NOT BE FEARFUL! Got it? And turn the radio on to praise and worship music and stop getting yourself scared.

From this day forward know that God is the healer, is in control, has a plan for your life, says no weapon formed against you shall prosper, so let it go for crying out loud. Okie dokie?? It is easy to become disabled due to a fearful scenario but you can start being intentional about feeding your mind with positive thoughts and turn off junk that frightens you and steals your peace. Go spread some joy for Jesus why not?

PRAYER: Fear is not from you Lord. Forgive me when I waste brain cells worrying and caving in to the ploys of the enemy to take me away from faith and trust in you. I choose to do positive uplifting things to stay on track and turn away from negativity. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Paralyzed By Fear?

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

The news media does an outstanding job in keeping people fearful just the same way People magazine does in keeping people focused on celebrity worship. Why or why can’t you let things go and not be buying into fear? 

Here are a few examples of fearful scenarios it is necessary to take victory over to have an abundant life abiding in Christ. Ebola virus, end of the world, airplane crashes, cancer, earthquakes, pollution, global warming, guns, tornadoes, vaccines, Lyme disease, sporting accidents such as snow skiing or being hit by a baseball, legionnaires disease, the Coronavirus, war, terrorism, and I am certain you can add a few. Sitting around consuming brain cells concerned over everything  does not get you closer to God. I have heard people say “But I am just a worrier”. 

So what is a person to do who is infected with the ‘fear bug’? First get on your knees daily and pray and tell God you trust Him. Next realize bad stuff is going to happen but your worrying won’t change anything. Third, relax, put on some praise and worship music. Fourth, stop feeding your fear with nightly or morning news and reading the paper but instead reach for your Bible and read  Psalms or book of John. Now go my friend into a peaceful day trusting God for everything. 

PRAYER: I thank you Lord that you are on the throne. I thank you for knowing you have my back and that of my family members. Teach me to learn diversion techniques when I would start to succumb to a fearful spirit knowing only the devil is rejoicing as he wants me to fear. I claim peace now. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
