Welcome to Hank’s Place —
In case you haven’t noticed, fear is still running amok in our streets. People are asking one another: “Did you get a vaccine yet? Which one? Effectiveness? 2nd dose?” Boosters? The New York Mets and Yankees stadiums will have separate sections for those vaccinated and those who are not. The vaccinated section can be fully seated, the other will be 6 foot separations. You’ll have to wear a mask in both, regardless. Outdoors. In the breeze.
It is one thing to pray, to listen to the Spirit, to think things through, but this is the other thing.
The fear of death, that great weapon of the devil, Hebrews 2:14-15, is parading itself across all media — does it cause fear to arise in you? Are you one of those folks wearing a mask inside your car on the freeway? While swimming? Skydiving?
Well here at Hank’s Place we love the Gospel — and we don’t love the Chinese virus, any plague, ANY FEAR. Living in fear and obeying media commands is not OUR future my friend, this is not OUR portion today — or ever. You are a believer, not an unbeliever, correct? I urge you, take a moment and reaffirm your believing in Jesus Christ, who reigns as LORD over ALL.
Peter believed the word of the Lord and walked out on the water, Matthew 14:28. Storms of life caused him to take his eyes off of Jesus and he faltered a bit — but there was Jesus. And Jesus is here today in the storms of our life, too. Peter cried out as he went down and Jesus was there. Be assured dear friend, if we cry out, Jesus is there.
And keep this in mind: in Luke 10:17-20 it says Jesus gave His followers AUTHORITY in the spirit realm. To mash the enemy — without fear of being harmed. It’s true, it’s God’s word, but for it to be true for us — we should believe it. Say NO to demons, to all the power of the enemy — including FEAR.
Remember the word of God found in Psalm 91 — and believe it! He IS our refuge. He DOES rescue us from hidden traps. From night terrors. Violence by day. Disease at night. From disaster. Others may succumb, drop like flies right and left — but we who place our trust in the Lord will be untouched.
GOD says so. Let’s believe it. Let’s hold onto God for dear life. As The Message says, “Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times; I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.” Psalm 91:15.
He won’t reprimand us if we have a moment of fear: He will rescue us, throw a party and we’ll — COME ALIVE!
