In Post #25 – Molecules of Emotion ( https://dangerousheretics.com/2021/04/07/molecules-of-emotion/ ) – I discussed Candace Pert’s studies about the unique neuropeptides that are released throughout the entire body upon experiencing a specific emotional state. Fear is one of these emotional states, and is now possibly causing more damage to society than any virus possibly could.
If you will recall, as a particular emotional state is experienced, the body releases a neuropeptide specific to that emotion. This neuropeptide bonds with every cell in the body and prepares the entire body, instantaneously, for whatever that emotion requires.
As the person experiences that same emotion repeatedly or chronically, the cells begin to build more and more receptors for that emotion, until the cells are, in a way of speaking, begging for more of those neuropeptides. Thus chronic conditions like depression, anger, or in the case of this discussion, fear can take root and grow unnecessarily, often in a downward spiral.
The Bible is clear: the antidote for fear is love:
“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear” (1 John 4:18).
In the context of this scripture, John is talking about both the love of God for us, and the love we have for God. Love conquers all, because if we truly understood how much God loves us, we would have no reason to fear for anything, ever.
Now, let’s be clear—I’m not stating that anyone who is fearful of the virus is living in sin, or has no faith, or is faulty or inferior in any way. I am trying to encourage those who may be captivated by fear; who, due to your tendency to be fearful or a lifetime of living in fear have developed an over-achieving level of fear neuropeptides; whose health is being damaged by the adrenaline and acidic response your body has had to constant fear; to any of you who may be struggling with this, there is not only hope but complete healing available for you!
I believe the first step to healing is to understand and admit that the negative effects fear has had in your life is at least partially biological and can be defeated.
Second, also understand that fear is one of the most common weapons the enemy uses against us. Fear of failure, fear of what others will think, fear of sickness when little or no danger actually exists, fear of persecution, fear of lack, fear of missed opportunities, and perhaps thousands of other fears, all take their toll on our mental health, our physical bodies, and our relationship with God.
Remember “There is no fear in love” which by default also means that true love has no place for fear. “But perfect love casts out fear,” which means that if you still struggle against a spirit of fear, then love is the answer.
“We love God because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19), which means even our love for God comes initially from the gift of love he gives to us. We can’t love God without the love of God first being deposited in our lives.
Love God, love others. These are the greatest commandments. If you work hard on your personal relationship with God, you will indeed be able to cast out fear and live a life of confidence.
Our enemy realizes the crippling effects of fear. Fear is what caused the Governor of New York to begin mandates and shutdowns before a single case of Omicron was seen in the United States. Even after it’s been observed that Omicron is the weakest variant yet (this article was originally begun in December of 2021), and had not yet caused a single death, still new calls for vaccinations and boosters were urged in order to stop “massive death and destruction.”
This is 100% lies and fearmongering. The powers that be realize that fear is a very effective tool in their arsenal. And I actually expect people who have no love in their lives, especially the love of God, to be subject to irrational fears. However, what I do not understand is how many people who claim to believe in the God of the Bible and have put their faith in Jesus Christ are also subject to the same irrational fears as the rest of society.
Please hear me clearly: it’s not my place to tell you to either accept or reject the vaccine. I am personally convinced that it’s a very dangerous, untested drug that is being administered with full knowledge that the vaccines themselves are now killing more people than they are saving. However, that’s not the topic of this article. And now, after a couple years of experience with the “vaccines” we have learned that they are indeed the most damaging public health disaster ever foisted upon humankind. All the statistics prove this out.
The question I am asking is, why are those who are supposed to be filled with the love of Jesus, which casts out fear, still subject to the same debilitating fear? Why are preachers obediently falling in line with the fear-inducing mandates from an ungodly government administration, and urging their congregations to do likewise? Why are there still large numbers of Christians who are criticizing those who stand against far-left ideologues bent on destroying God-given constitutional rights? Why are there so many Christian leaders accusing those who stand in favor of constitutional politics as compromising their faith in God?
One well-known Christian leader argues that to be a “Christian nationalist” is to place the kingdom of the world in a higher priority than the kingdom of God. It never enters his mind that to be in favor of and to protect God-given rights that are guaranteed by the constitution are actually activities that are 100% consistent with the justice, love and grace of God. It does not occur to him (or the thousands or perhaps millions of Christians that agree with him) that the mandate to “go into ALL the world and preach the gospel” includes the political realm!
This great nation was founded by believers in God who took seriously the protection of God-given rights for all citizens regardless of race, age, economic condition or any other condition that the far left are using today to divide us. And just why are constitutional rights, and especially the truths described in the Bill of Rights, considered to be biblical values?
Because if we truly love our neighbors, then we will want them to succeed. We will want them to be free. We will want them to prosper and to be in good health (3 John 1:2). We will want them to worship freely, or even be free not to worship at all. We will want them to make their own decisions about how to raise their own families, how to teach their children, how to run the governments of their towns, villages, counties and states. We will protect those who cannot protect themselves, especially the most vulnerable among us – those living in the womb who have yet to be born.
Take a look at every attempt to destroy our constitutional rights and you can find a way that the far-left zealots are acting in ways that represent the antithesis of love. They hate pre-born babies yet they call pro-lifers hateful. Lies, hypocrisy and hate abound, and they are trying to get away with it by controlling the masses through fear and intimidation.
It’s time for it to end. We know their plan and their modus operandi. We must fight, and sometimes we must fight hard. Ephesians 6 makes it clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but it is a real battle in which we are allowed to hate the enemy and his tactics. Perhaps it’s time to stop the Mr. Nice Guy act, and take the time to “fashion a whip out of cords and drive them out of the temple.”
Let’s call it like it is: Biden and the far left are enacting a satanic agenda that includes killing babies, persecuting innocent patriots, lying about unproven and poisonous medications, dishonoring the Constitution and a myriad of ungodly, lying activities consistent with their destructive agenda.
Those who cooperate are complicit. Those who remain silent are guilty. Those who are fearful need the love of Christ to invade their lives. True warriors are not those who never experience fear. True warriors may feel fear but they overcome it with courage, love, and the mandates of and promises from God Almighty.
