The Fear Factor

A double minded person is not connected to any divine clarity. Therefore, fear and uncertainty shall be the only covering for such confused soul.

At this point in time, I am compelled to enlighten the people of God as to what His word says, and I want to help all others who do not know the Lord. I am now compelled to inform you that God’s ways are not our ways; therefore, His direction can make all unconverted souls infuriated because they cannot comprehend the true nature of any events that occur on this sinful earth. So be warned, this material is strong in content based upon God’s will. First allow me to say to you the reader that if I continue to willfully present my own mind and body to the Lord daily, I will continually be lifted above all that is named confusion and fear. So then transforming my mind is part of the process, in this way I know what the will of the father is in my walk, and it keeps my human mind sharp despite what is going on around me, and this is the peace that passes all humans understanding, only in the Lord. Please get this. I am not in the bashing business, but I am in the soul saving arm of the Lord’s service. So, please allow me to tell you this. I am a real preacher, and I am actively working in the vineyard of God. I am not one of the false leaders to talk the talk but has never reached out to his sheep when they are in need. Listen, I am not referring to any leader that the Lord has placed in that office, but rather the liars who are now hiding under the false pretense of being called of God to lead his children. Please allow me to share this with you. I have been through many things within this world. I have encountered a few preachers who wanted to kill me, simply because I brought them a warning from the Lord. Others have tried to kill my name because they too rejected the word from the Lord. I have a deliverance ministry, and I have been ministering to leaders since 1990. I have a 100% success rate, not because of anything that I have said or done, but it is the Lord’s will that is being done through me. Nevertheless, because I live in this world, I have encountered too many so-called leaders, and this is some of what I had to endure. You may not want to digest this, but not too many pastors have a divine connection with the Lord, what they do have is a form of godliness, but they have rejected His plans to lead them. Listen, I have been rejected so many times that I have stopped counting. I have been informed by some clergy that because I did not have a nice car, house, a radio broadcast, and money, I was not with the Lord but rather I was a wannabe, and then I was kicked to the curb. Now, if this is not enough to make you become a doubter and put the fear in you, well I do not know what to tell you. Nevertheless, I knew who I was, and I also knew that I was the one with the power to bring deliverance to all that I encounter. So, fear had nothing on me.

Please Stay with me; I am going somewhere! I have lived in abandoned building, in a shelter with all kinds of people in all kinds of conditions. I had to give up my money, car, jobs, and I had to preach some of my family members funerals and deal with the injustice that can come along with that. I have not yet had the time to grieve. Why have I been through these circumstances of events? It is because I chose to follow the Lord. As a human, I will tell you that there have been times when I felt like God had forgotten about me. I even had the nerve to say, “Where ARE YOU? Can’t you see what I'm going through?” Now this is where fear can creep into your mind throughout circumstances such as this. But without a doubt, I was stabilized and that feeling left me. Is it easy working for the Father? I will boldly tell you; no, it is not, but He has never left me or forsaken me. Stay with me because this is not about me but about you. The main thing that kept me sane was the fact that I knew that I was filled with the Holy Spirit of God. Listen, the hardest thing anyone can do is to wait on the Lord in times like this. People are overtaken because of this virus. But a lie is no different. Meaning to say, you cannot see a lie, but when you stand before God you will see the effect of your lying. No one can see the wind, but you sure can feel it, and its effects. These are dangerous times that we are living in today. With this being a fact, people who are not connected to the Lord, can only experience the intensity of fear that has gripped the world’s leaders and lack of commitment to the nation. The latest fear is the Coronavirus. The word says this.

(James 1:5-8) says: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not this man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A doubled minded man is unstable in all his ways.

In other words, if you are experiencing anxiety over this new devilish thing, you need to seek out God’s wisdom. In this way you can ascertain that this too shall pass. Otherwise, you can become a double minded person. Meaning to say, you will not know what to believe, so fear will take over you and it will be passed onto your children who are constantly watching your every move. People, either you trust God, or you do not. It is really just that simple. Ok, listen, people are afraid and that is ok, but it is not acceptable in the life of anyone who is proclaiming that they are a child of the King. Please understand; just because I am a Christian, does not indicate that I cannot see that we are living in perilous times. To believe that would mean that I too am blind and foolish. I cannot believe that after 911 anyone in their right mind cannot comprehend the fact that leisure and leadership as we once knew it is gone. We can no longer rest in the notion that tomorrow will be safe unless one has the peace that passeth all understanding. Rest as we once knew it shall be as elusive as a butterfly. But fear on the other hand, it will rear its head at every opportunity given.

Listen, when people forget where and how they were delivered out of harm’s way; an open doorway is left open for the devil to come into and do his work. The Bible says to leave no place for the devil to come in because he will create havoc. Since so many people are so laid-back in their actions, they have been caught off guard Spiritually and naturally so. It is my opinion that this nation has turned its back on God, and now he has allowed the devil to give us a wake-up call. Unprecedented amounts of people have been hoodwinked by a man who is clearly a deceiver, but because the father is being shunned, millions of people have lost the will to pray and read their own Bible. Yet, they have found solitude in a leader who clearly does not care about the people but only himself. Also, I cannot leave out the fake Christians and the weak ones as well. Such people who come to believe such a false leader have been disconnected from the Lord as a direct result of them willingly detaching themselves from him. The Bible says:

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure, afflictions, do the work of evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. {2 Timothy 4:3-5}

It is very apparent that millions of people have lost their minds. Meaning to say, they have willingly rejected the leading of Jesus. In other words, they no longer want to believe in what the Bible says is truth; therefore, these folks have accepted a worldly unsaved man as their god. Stay with me, I am going somewhere. Blinded as they are, such citizens are now miring the action of the new mentor. Meaning to say, the bewildered have chosen a teacher that pleases their itchy ears. These folks have boldly turned away their ears from the truth of God, and now they are following every word that comes out of the mouth of a foolish man. The word is truly clear, when it tells us that people would rather believe a lie than accept the truth, and my friends these disrespectful acts towards God has caused him to turn his face from this new pandemic. Maybe you have forgotten about Adam and Eve. The wife was able to eat the forbidden fruit and gave some to her husband. The problem was this. He was the one placed as the head. Yet he allowed her to give him something without asking where did you get this because it does not look like anything we have eaten before? The point? When you are in control, you must do the right thing concerning those under your guidance. Otherwise, you are not a leader, but a follower, and you can kill the influence you once had over the people who look up to you. If God put you in this office, you must do what is within His divine will. Otherwise, you shall become corrupt and unable to divine truth when you hear it.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God. {Romans 12:1-2}

Meaning to say, people who have not been transformed through the salvation plan of the Lord, will never be able to know what the truth is regarding God and His will. In other words, the internet is pumping out so much information, but the unsaved person cannot digest it. So, now they have become confused because they do not have the mind of Christ. Therefore, such folk must become fearful because they cannot find the truth in any situation. This kind will begin to seek out someone or something that they feel can give them what they seek. But God said in his word:

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thin own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. {Proverbs 3:6-8}

If people would just adhere to these blessed words, it would be clear to them that fear has no hold on them. It is the believers trust in The Lord that keeps us with a clear mind because we stand on the word and power of God. Now when it comes to anyone who is acting like our current leader, they too shall become egotistical, self-promoting, narcissistic, spoiled, privileged, rich, and someone who clearly does not have a relationship with The Lord. Despite this, he stands with Christians and stands with Israel. OK, what am I saying? I do not agree with many of the things this man is doing, but I do have to respect the office. God’s word tells me that. Stay with me, I am going somewhere. Sometimes God allows people to be put in office because he wants to get his lost children’s attention, but if you are one of the disconnected children or someone who is not His connected child, then you can’t help but be gripped with fear.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear; because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not perfect in love. {1 John 4:18}

Listen, my friends, when we do not acknowledge God, we can find ourselves in the land of confusion and destruction. In this cove, there is no relief. Not because God cannot reach you, but because you will not reach out to Him. When we acknowledge him, our bones are strengthened and so are our minds. We know that He will not allow anything to happen without a plan for His people to receive relief. However, when we leave the principles of the Lord and follow the devil, we have lost our strength, which was in the Lord, the vine. Within this assessment, you can find that fear has now turned into torment, and that my friend is what is paralyzing millions of people at this time. In God help is available when we humble ourselves under His mighty hand. Ok, let us read the word.

BEHOLD, the Lord’s hands is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. {Isaiah 59:1-2}

Listen, as a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I am compelled to tell all people the truth no matter what they cost is to me. Which also means that I must constantly be watchful in all things. Also, I must endure during this pandemic along with the sinners and suffer some of the same afflictions as the world. I am compelled to constantly do the work of an evangelist. As I willingly carry out this mission, I am doing the will of the Lord. But this one thing I do know, He is with me and I am protected within this ministry I have been placed in. Again, the word speaks:

EXCEPT the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. {Psalm 127:1}

Once more, without God’s ambience guiding us, everything we say and do is in vain. No one can stand in the presence of catastrophe except the Lord be with them.

Thou shall have no other gods before me. {Exodus 20:3}

In other words, billions of people have turned away from God, and have placed their faith, in unsaved leaders, smart phones, and let us not forget this lustful generation of people who have no morals at all. So, there is no hesitation within them to consistently have sex with anyone. These same citizens will always do anything that brings them relief, including killing unborn babies through the abortion industries that thrive off these murders. So now, when it comes to the word of God, many people have tuned Him out of their lives. So now that we are in full bloom within this crisis, billions of people are now fainting from fear. Some because they can’t see their so-called friends, and some have even shown their true color meaning to say they are now so mad because of all the attention that black lives matter has received that they are now showing signs that they really hate black people, and those who support them. Fear is real when people who thought they had power, and then discovered they do not have it after all. Fear puts a person in the locked room without a window, and it is in that cove that fear builds into a category 10 hurricane within your mind. The point. Such people have made other people their worldly God. Listen, if we all would just ask God to forgive, and mean it, He will move this thing faster that he intends to do. It is a lesson that people need to reckon with.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. {John 15:5-7}

My friends, I need you to get this. I had also been out of work from November 30, 2019 to April 2020. No one came to help me even though they knew what time it was. I too am caught in this pandemic. Who is coming to my rescue? No one. But I stand firm in the Father and His total agenda and I am helping anyone that I can with whatever resources that I know I have. I am hooked into the vine; therefore, fear is not a factor in my life. So, I now leave you with the word of the Lord. This will pass for the sake of my people…

THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy: without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despises of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more that lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly woman laden with sins, led away with divers lust, Ever learning, and never able to come into the knowledge of the truth. {2 Timothy 3:1-7}

What the word is saying to all people, is this: A double minded man is unstable in all his ways and such a man will never receive any relief from the Lord. Please get this. “Falling is a matter of choices and not a mistake.” {Ambassador Ray K. Payne} In other words, choosing to serve God is your choice, and so is following the devil. People who follow other people who are not saved will take on their image and walk as they do. Again, this is a clear sign that an individual has chosen to reject the Lord and follow the devil. You need to get this. Mercy and grace can run out when the Father has had enough. So, do not try to fool the Lord because you cannot. Heaven is for the children of the Father not the kids of the devil.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners; But if any man be a worshiper of God; and doeth his will, him he heareth. {John 9:31}

Listen, in this notification, blind people are those who will not follow the will and word of The Lord. Therefore, such folk are evil by nature because they have willingly attached themselves to the devil and his unholy agenda. So, with this fact in your view, I must admonish you to educate yourself with God’s word and what each party represents on voting day. You do not have to like the person, but please know what they represent. Democrats in the 1880’s invented segregation and Jim Crow laws that lasted all the way through the 1960’s. The first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan founded in 1866 was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Their main theme of violence was to prevent blacks from voting or at least from voting Republican (party of Abraham Lincoln). The progressive movement of planned parenthood and founder Margaret Sanger backed forced sterilization for “unfit” people and focused on reducing the black population. One of greatest genocides of African Americans is abortion. Even though African Americans only make up 14 percent of the population, 40 percent of abortions are committed on African American women killing 14 to 15 million babies. The majority of abortion facilities are located in or near minority communities with a recent study finding abortion is the leading cause of death in African American and Hispanic populations. Planned Parenthood boasts themselves as an advocate for minorities while killing them daily in a mother’s womb. The progressives (Democrats) have pushed and supported the removal of prayer from school. They want to remove “In God we Trust” from all currency and anything governmental. They want our nation to be socialist. So, I ask you to consider whether you stand for a nation that supports God and freedom to worship Him, or do you support the politics of loving anything that makes you happy regardless of the teaching of God’s word. PLEASE LISTEN to what God is saying to you…

And I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. {Genesis 12:3}

For the nations that will not serve thee shall perish; yea [those] nations shall be utterly wasted. {Isaiah 60:12}

Once more, fear will not allow anyone to see or hear the word from The Lord. Listen, my opinion means nothing, but the word of God means everything! Once more we are admonished to support people who support the above scripture. No politician can really be trusted unless that have God’s Spirit within them. So, we must only support those who are closest to the what the word says we must support. Again, you do not have to like the person in the seat, but you must respect the office because God’s word says so.

Submit yourself to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. {1 Peter 2:13-17}

I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quit and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. {1 Timothy 2: 1-3}

If I had a conclusion, it might go like this. If God allows a wild bull to be placed in a glass china shop, we must respect His decision. We must always look at the bigger picture, by faith. But if we have not been converted by the Lord’s salvation plan, confusion, fear, and anxiety shall overtake our minds, and such people will only seek a quick resolution that they can live with. And that is when a deluge of fear will consistently be the blinders people will have covering all their decisions. Again, it is the office, not the man. Never forget God hardened Pharaoh’s heart and that is why the people suffered so much. Keep in mind that it was the children of Israel own disobedience that got them put in bondage. When the father let them out of that hell, a journey that was to take forty days took forty years, and that is the payment that can come out of rebellion against God. If anyone has a brain in their head, then you know that this nation has turned their backs on God and now look at where we are. When we follow the word of the Lord, we shall receive clarity in the time it will be needed, but when people decide to reject the will of the Father then they have disconnected themselves from the word and power of God, and in this realm no one can please God, but they will please the devil and do his bidding.

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are country the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye are led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. {Galatians 5:16-18}

I pray that these words have blessed you to the point that you will now seek out God for clarity and deliverance.
