Spirit of Love

​Spirit of Love
 
“God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7).
 
Child of the Almighty, abolish those fears, they have no power over you. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4)
 
Through all situations, even our earthly death, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear," (Psalm 46:1-2).
 
Billy Graham's beloved wife had a comforting message on her desk, "Fear not tomorrow, for God is already there."
 
Trust in the one who has defeated death, who controls everything that happens to us through this fallen world, who arranges those things to work for good for those who trust and love Him. Trust in the only name given to mankind by which they may be saved: Jesus Christ. (Acts 4:12)
 
We get to replace fear with these good things, power, love, and a sound mind, when we trust Jesus and live life the way the Creator of life meant for us to live it.
 
The modern world, mostly the Western nations, have allowed themselves to be cowed, filled with fear, and have been bullied and intimidated into accepting worldviews, and ways of living life, which have caused weakness, division, hostility, and mental illness to spread like a mind virus.
 
Celebrating unhealthy behaviour does not lead to good health outcomes. This only leads to brokenness, to confusion and unsoundness of mind. It not only cannot truly satisfy human beings, but it leads to harming human beings.
 
This is already evident in the rampant plague of mental illness raging throughout western nations, and others consuming this propaganda. How else can we explain the rise in mental illness? Why isn’t it happening in countries which have not been cowed into normalizing and celebrating mental confusion inducing propaganda?
 
A spirit of power, love and a sound mind. How do we get that? Seek, trust and follow your Creator. He made you, He knows and wants what is best for you, He loves you. He loves you so much that "He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Turn off Hollywood. Turn off the media. Critique the Gramsci propaganda lessons at your schools and universities (or watch a PragerU video instead). Filter what you allow into your mind. 
​
Choose life. Choose a sound mind. Choose the good fruit over the rotten. The good over the bad. Choose Christ.
