I have found something that stills fear almost instantly, but it will only work for those who believe in God. After 45+ years of bible study, I determined that fear is best REPENTED OF, like a sin. If indeed I know that God is in control, I have nothing to fear, not even death. Therefore if I am fearful, I have forgotten that God is in control, not me. At this point I repeat "I repent of fear" as a mantra till the fear passes. Which happens almost instantly.

Yes, we WILL walk through the shadow the valley of death, but we shall never, ever pitch a tent there! Ever!

Psalm 27: Fearless Forever

"The Lord is my light and salvation - whom shall I fear?" (v.1)

In a world that is held in such deep darkness where the light of truth often seems more of a flicker than a flame, in a world where deceit dishonesty falsehood and foolishness divert and distort the lives of so many,

in times when a myriad voices say so much about so many things, where confusion seems readily available and clarity seems hard to find, in a world where opinions rise to a place where only truth should be, and every voice seems to get an equal hearing, in the constant cacophony of ten thousand contradictory voices, it is a wonderful and amazing thing to be able to say with rest and confidence, The Lord is my Light!

My heart has been lit by the illuminating and protective glory of His powerful and transforming grace, my mind has been renewed by the luminescent presence of His truth-guiding Holy Spirit, and my life has been guided down straight paths by the ever-shining lamp of His Word.

I am not afraid, but it is not because I am strong or wise. I am not afraid, but it is not because I have power or position. I am not afraid, but it is not because I have health or wealth.

I am not afraid; but it is not because my circumstances or relationships are easy. I am not afraid for one glorious reason; I have been lit by the Lord of Light. In the darkness of this fallen world, I no longer walk in the night, but I have been given the Light of Life.

I am not afraid because Light lives in me. This one amazing reality gives me rest; I have been rescued from darkness and transported into the light and I am not afraid.

Greg, Your videos are brilliant: digestible, sharable, steady, sourced, informative, calming, etc. *I thanked God about 20 times today. I was driving and suddenly flashed-back to an accident where the airbag deployed. Seconds later, I noticed some chick with giant false lashes swerving toward me. She...was...checking...her...fkkn...transhumanist non-wearable data-mining device. God spoke to me. There is no other explanation. The other thing to remember is grace.

Th bible makes it clear we each must control our thoughts. Thoughts come before action. Intellect and free will make up your soul. Your eternal soul is what distinguishes a human being from an animal. Your eternal soul means every human being is made in the image and likeness of God.

_________

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7

notice the various translations for "sound mind"

https://biblehub.com/2_timothy/1-7.htm

self-discipline, sobriety, etc

_____________

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline, think on these things.

Phillipians 4:8

______________________

Take care of your thoughts. Lift your thoughts onto the Lord.

I was taught from an early age that one can sin in thought, word, deed, or omission.

I suggest repeating a short phrase in your mind to keep yourself steady.

Jesus, I trust in You.

And the bio lab in Sudan was funded by GUESS WHO......Fauci, DOD and all the usual players. Now why would any sane person install a bio lab in SUDAN?? This lab houses polio, measles, cholera and other potential pathogens. This madness must stop. But get ready because as they promised THERE WILL BE another pandemic.

There 's nothing to fear but fear itself : Living in a constant state of fear can lead to neurotic behaviors , paralysis by analysis & hyper vigilance disorder. Fear can become a toxic stew, you don't want to be marinate in . Or in other word you don't want to drown in the noise so you cant see the signal.

Its all alchemy there's an opposite reaction / outcome / state that exist at all time. knowledge and discernment are keys in this transmutation process. It takes courage to accept the things you cannot change , to let go of the fear of death is to truly live.

We have witness a madness engulf the world , we have seen the worst lurking inside people minds being manifested ; the old demanding we kill the young , The old killing other old in the name of diminishing resources all of this only make sens if Death was all along the desired outcome. Don't roll over and die , Stand up and fight ! Without fear we have the advantage !

Agreed fear is a demobilizer. But these days with a bioweapon having injected 3/4's the world's population with a transfection component to it, let's not throw caution to the wind. By rights humanity needs to be on the alert that the game has been changed and fear or not, getting infected by trusting the old ways of mingling with people will be our undoing and this is where we failed and where the authorities who know better allowed to happen for whatever reason. Mind over matter, like herd immunity is not going to fix much of anything. The end result is you can't go anywhere because a bioweapon has been released and we're going to find out the hard way what that all means. Nothing is the same anymore and the sooner we figure this out the better choices we make. Fear of the unknown makes one cautious. That is a good fear.

ChatGPT gave a decent answer, but most people do not understand what it is. Briefly, it IS NOT cognizant. It didn't think of that answer. It summarized a corpus of data it was trained on and that data was 100% or nearly 100% written by humans. So the lesson is, use your innate logic and bravery and you will know what to do to overcome the evil.

Greg,

The Bible, which you quote, says this: "I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you fear Him (Luke 12:4-5).

Covid-19 was about inducing fear - ultimately the fear of death. And now that the elite have wound the Covid narrative down, we are told they have no real power. I vehemently disagree. The sophistication of their strategies is being vastly underestimated by people who don't understand the true nature of power, or how it is used. Nevertheless, with or without Covid, with or without bioweapons that might or might not be released in the future, we all die - and we have been warned that, without faith in Jesus Christ, when we die we will be judged for our sins. We have been warned that judgment by God, for our sins, is indeed something to be feared. That is why God has given us fear of death in our natural state of alienation from Him. If He had not given us this fear, then we would blithely walk to our eternal doom with no warning. Death seals our fate in judgment. It is not "part of the adventure."

When we are in Christ, we overcome the fear of death. What does this mean? What does it feel like? It feels like peace that is more deeply seated than any state of mind we can induce within ourselves through our own mental effort. I am not saying that we can't convince ourselves to exist in a state of mind that denies fear, and I am not denying the ability of people to cross forbidden barriers to achieve a supernatural state of euphoria. But that state of mind is not the same as the peace that is placed in our hearts by God and does not serve the same purpose. It is possible to experience a deceptive peace, a deceptive euphoria, because it causes us to make the wrong decisions. The peace we induce in ourselves, the euphoria of those who pursue "enlightenment" is not only a false peace, it is a deadly peace, because it numbs us to the real dangers of death.

The danger of devastation and death in this life is also real. It is cavalier to say no danger exists. I assume you speak as one who has never been tortured. And even if any one of us, as individuals, can muster the ability to produce an enduring state of synthetic fearlessness, what does that do to our role as protectors of our children? Do we say all danger is imaginary and fail in our duty to protect them? Do we kill our protective instincts as we kill our own internal warning signs? How do we make decisions in a state of uncertainty with respect to relevant facts? It is our Lord who promises to take care of us when we do not have the information we need, or even the strength to endure.

It is easy to say, now, that Covid didn't kill us, but consider how long it took for the information to filter its way into the public domain. And consider that only those who were not killed by Covid are now left to say this. We do not need to fear the elite, the embedded podcast tells us. So what do we tell the vaccine injured whose devastation is so severe that they want to commit suicide? Do we tell them they are having an adventure?

What if Covid was a learning exercise for the elite? How does one tell, next time, whether or not a threat is genuine, in those moments when decisions must be made with only the information provided by those in power - a group that has now honed their skills? The task is not as easy as it might seem. Those who are quick to dismiss their fears might end up living with devastating regret because they will have made decisions, in their fearlessness, that have caused irreversible harm to others they love. I don't know what your own beliefs are, Greg, but Jesus Christ, facing a cup that He was loathe to drink, used the words "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done" (Matthew 26:42). It was the ultimate sacrifice, to pay for our sins, not a mantra of peace, as you use it.

I have written this note because, though imperfectly, I live my life by the Word of God. The Bible cannot be quoted in an essay as just another source of advice, like Dune or ChatGPT. That is what the pagans did - any god will do. Any god will not do. Salvation is only through faith in Jesus Christ, as revealed in his Word. I could not remain silent, when your essay, intentionally or not, slaps God in His face and gives readers a false sense of security.

J.P. Kerber, J.D., M.B.A.
