"Be of good courage! I have overcome the world!" John 16.
Disasters have always been there and wars too, but people's attitudes towards these bad things have varied.
I believe that only people who are not established in the faith are fearful or completely unbelieving.
It is one thing to be afraid and another thing to be fearful and anxious.
I'm not writing you, but there are a lot of disasters and it looks like God is showing through anomalies that a war is coming.
An example from barely yesterday. In Colombia, rains caused landslides and homes were destroyed.
If you focus Dear Brother and Sister on evil, you will feed on evil and anxiety will grow. Messages are in themselves neutral. For example, the death of someone may be a victory because they will meet God, but a tragedy for another.
During major floods, some will despair, while others will think this is the perfect opportunity to make a long-planned move.
This world, by the way, will one day end, the earth will be burned with fire, and a new earth will arise, uncontaminated by sin and therefore evil... Is this a reason to despair that the earth will be burned?
” (24) Suddenly a violent storm broke on the lake, so that the waves swamped the boat; but he was asleep. (25) Then they came to Him and woke Him up, saying, Lord, save us, we are perishing! (26) And He said to them: Why fear ye of little faith? Then He arose, and commanded the whirlwind and the lake, and there was a deep silence" Matthew 8.
Lord save is the key word. Storms have been, are, and will be. The problem is that people are already afraid and yet some blame others for their fear.
Peter during a storm just once stopped looking at Jesus and began to sink.
We need to draw closer to Jesus every day through obedience, prayer and the Word of God. He is stronger than wars and calamities.
“(2) God is our refuge and strength, The surest help in afflictions. (3) Therefore we do not fear, though the earth tremble And the mountains shake in the depths of the seas. (4) Though they roar, though the waters foam, Though the mountains tremble because of his anger. " Psalm 46
It is the unbelievers who should be afraid. So let us look to Jesus every day, for He is the ONLY refuge and hope for us.
What we should be doing is announcing God's presence to the world.
If satanists constantly show a covered eye or a triangle, we should glorify God all the more and tell our relatives and friends how much good God has done for us and we should constantly give thanks for everything.
”
There has been and will be bad news, but the main place in our mind should be Jesus.
“16) Blessed is the people who know how to rejoice And walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord." Ps 89.
Praise the Lord Jesus.
Thank you for you and God Bless you in Jesus name.
May the good Lord also give you, Peter, courage, inner peace and the will to continue drawing the sheep to Jesus. Amen
Just today a friend of mine from primary school woke up. I wrote her that the Scriptures are a signpost, etc., and she feels fearful of the Great Tribulation. And I will send her this article.
Praise be to Jesus Christ!
