Fear Not, Part 1

Go to the previous issue.

A regular update of data on COVID-19 deaths by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now claims that only a fraction of people have actually died directly from the novel Coronavirus.

The statistics on co-morbidities data in the CDC's weekly Coronavirus update, as of Aug. 26 show that in only 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.

"For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death," the report reads. The data, which is maintained by the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, is an aggregated list of co-morbidities on death certificates reported to the agency.

President Donald Trump was among those exposing the lie.

"This week the CDC quietly updated the Covid number to admit that only 6% of all the 153,504 deaths recorded actually died from Covid, that's 9,210 deaths, the other 94% had 2-3 other serious illnesses & the overwhelming majority were of very advanced age," President Trump said.

In Sept. 27, 2018 "the flu season killed 80,000 Americans" said the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Robert Redfield in an interview with the Associated Press.

Most of the churches in the United States are closed by order of their local government. The devil is in his research and development phase of what he will unleash in full in the book of revelation under "the mark of the beast." Unless you receive this mark, you will not be able to buy or sell.

Revelation 13:16-17 16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received  his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Satan's trial run using the fear of COVID -19 for the most part has been elusive and concealed. He has veiled his collaboration with the CDC, the government and his ministers in the media.

On March 25, 2020 I wrote a letter to the saints of Chapter and Verse Ministry. Most of the believers received this letter of admonishment and encouragement with open hearts and expressed their heart felt gratitude for the insight and direction provided them in this letter.

Others refusing to recognize and confront their own fear did not.

I have enclosed this letter once again so it can be reread bearing in mind the events of the last 6 months.

Dearly Beloved,

God bless you in the all-powerful name of Jesus Christ. I am writing to you at this time in response to the roar of the lion and the lies he wants you to believe regarding the Coronavirus. Jesus Christ defeated the Coronavirus along with every other sickness and disease at Calvary.

Philippians 2:9-10 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

The Coronavirus is no exception. This is where you will be challenged to believe the true God or the god of this world the devil.

Make no mistake; Coronavirus is nothing more than another sickness manufactured by the devil to place the world in fear.

The church of satan, aka the media, is relentless to push their agenda of fear to control the lives of people. Believers and non-believers alike are worried sick about the almighty Coronavirus.

John 14:26-27 26Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 27Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus never abandons you. Jesus gives you peace. The devil and the media would have you believe that you are helpless and hopeless and should look to the government and their infinite wisdom to keep you safe.

Easter Sunday is approaching soon when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He was not only raised from the dead He was also seated in the heavenlies.

Ephesians 1:20-22 20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

According to scripture we are seated there with Him, which means we are far above principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named including Coronavirus.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

Who has robbed you of your peace, and how was this accomplished?

Philippians 4:6-7 6Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The word careful in verse 6 comes from the Greek word merimnao, which means to be anxious or to be troubled with cares.

There is another verse we should look at concerning peace.

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

And there you have it in a nutshell. A distracted mind is an anxious mind, and an anxious mind will lead to fear as well as a loss of peace and joy. And the joy of the Lord, is our strength.

It really all boils down to what you listen to and who you choose to trust and believe.

Isaiah 54:17a No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper.

Now who are you going to believe, the media or God almighty? Now don't misunderstand what I am saying. Should we be careful and sanitize? Yes. Should we fist bump and be wise? That's ok too.

Should we be aware of what's going on? Absolutely, but not by doubting God's promises purchased by the life of Jesus Christ our Lord. Not by believing the word of the world from the god of this world over the Word of Truth and not by trusting in man to keep us safe.

Jeremiah 17:5-8 5Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

I am not against the government and sound judgment. I'm against the fear that the media is instilling into people and the government overstepping its boundaries when it comes to spiritual affairs.

Psalm 103:2-3 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

The government is not your savior and never will be. Need I remind you that the governments of this world will bow to the Lord Jesus Christ one day and not the other way around?

Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

Our local government is scrambling because when they should have been preparing to deal with this virus, they were too busy playing politics trying to impeach our president.

For the second time in a row a relief bill to aid the American people has been shut down and why? Because one party (Democrats) refuses to pass the bill unless its green agenda is included. Also an opera house, windmills, and EPA compliance for the airline by 2025; what does this have to do with an infectious disease? Really, this is how evil some politicians are. They use a crisis to leverage their agenda. And you trust these people?

My point is not to argue politics, the point is the world runs off of fear, and the media is milking this thing for all it can.

Mark my words, soon the headlines won't read "Coronavirus" anymore. When it's contained and it has come to an end, the headlines will read President Trump did such and such wrong or failed the American people or the like.

I have never seen a time in our country where people hate each other so much because of their political views. The media keeps agitating, provoking, and infuriating the masses by their lies and fear based opinions.

If it were not for the fact that there are still some believing Christians standing on the truth of God's Word, this country would have been destroyed years ago. I don't care if you believe that or not. Without God, the United States is no better than any other heathen country. It's just an attack aimed at the heart of the believer to place you in fear and to sow doubt in your life towards your heavenly father God.

2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

If God is not the source of fear then where does it come from? And those who promote it, who do they work for? The answer is the devil and you know it.
