Fear Factor

     I wanted to create this blog for exposing the stronghold that satan has on many of God's children which would be us. Back in the year 1999 there was so much being said about a world wide problem that would occur with the up coming year 2000 (Y2K)! People thought that there was going to be a blackout along with other major problems, that was going to set off a world of catastrophic events. With the thought that computers would not be able to upgrade their software to the future, and end up back to year 0. I remember watching t.v and seeing people lined up trying to stock up on supplies and water. People even went as far as digging underground tunnels to hide, lol. Of course nothing ever happened and I personally thought that those people were crazy.
     What about the large group of people that are grown, still very superstitious after all of these years since being a child? Afraid to step on a little crack that separates each square in the sidewalk, because they are actually dumb enough to believe that if they do then it will actually crack their mother's back?! The same people that if someone happens to touch your foot while sweeping up dirt and trash off the floor, they will jump up like they are going to die, snatch the broom from you and spit on it, because if they don't, they believe it will bring them 7 years of bad luck!
     The world economy in this day is all messed up. You have so many people wondering how are they going to make it if the economy completely collapses. How are they going to survive the skyrocketing unemployment thinking what if it happens to me? Is it going to happen to me? Should I dig into my retirement? Will I lose my home?
     All of the above past and present issues I've just spoken of is what I call "Fear Factor". If you are honest enough with yourself to admit you're living in fear, then satan has a stronghold on you. Fear is not a good thing at all! Instead of constantly fearing, worrying, and wondering, why not use all of that energy and turn it into faith? Yes the word is faith. Trust and believe in God. We wonder why we don't see answers to our problems? Instead of having faith, we have fear! That's no good. Pray and ask Yeshua to break the stronghold of satan so that you can be free of fear. Trust and believe God always.


Romans 8:1-8
King James Version (KJV)
Romans 8

 1There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.


 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:


 4That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.


 5For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.


 6For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.


 7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.


 8So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.


1 John 5:4
New International Version (NIV)
4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
