Emergency Sunday Exhortation: Why I’m Not Afraid of Pestilences, Plagues or the Prince of Darkness!

Writer's picture: Reginald SpannReginald Spann


I'm not afraid of pestilences, plagues or the powers of the prince of darkness because I have the LORD in my life and I trust Him to help me overcome any fear whatsoever.


Like the great and first Proverb reveals:


"But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil (Proverbs 1:33-King James Version).


Evil is defined as morally bad or wrong; wicked. Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful. Characterized by or indicating future misfortune; ominous.


I'm not even afraid of ominous COVID.


Like many Christians, I realize that the Lord guarantees the protection from plagues and pestilences for his faithful.


Surely, He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence” (Psalms 91:3-KJV).


Quite a lot of Holy Bible verses and passages illustrate quite clearly that we should "fear no one but God." That those who live in fear, except of God, have a long way to go to reach fullness in the faith, knowledge, trust and love of God, myself included.


Psalms 23 is one of the most beautiful, most recited and most fear-removing passages in Holy Scripture:


"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For thou are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. "

(Psalms 23:4-KJV).


Frequently reciting Psalms 23 to yourself and or others is empowering on your path to precision of having no fear.



Living in fear is a stumbling block on the path toward obtaining bold righteousness in your life.


But fear is also a state of mind that can be driven away like smoke is driven away.


How?


Modify your behavior with adjustment actions, Holy Bible study and hard, hard prayer until you fear God only!



For instance, you can make Psalms 28:1 and 91:3 daily exhortations:


"The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1; 30:29-31-KJV).


Whoever fears has not been perfected in the love of God, according to John:


"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love" (1 John 4:18-KJV).


Fear is, many times, a learned behavior.


Like hate, violence and other actions and emotions, fear can be conditioned into your psyche by people who fear almost anything, or via alarmists, lies, propaganda, fake news, etc.


Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was…” (Psalms 53:4-5-KJV).


But whoever overflows with faith in the LORD is safe!


"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul! But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28-KJV).


Living free from fear was a commandment to Joshua. apply this to yourself if need be—to help wipe away your fear!


"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9-KJV).


“Be not afraid,” the Lord often exhorts us in the Holy Bible. “Have Faith”, He declares in several verses and passages.


I’ll leave you, for now, with this one:


Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday."


"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked."


"Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” (Psalms 91:5-11-KJV).
