100% of the tribulation in this world comes directly from fear. Think about what brings on the torment of tribulation: fear of disease, fear of finances, fear of crime, or fear of failure. Fear causes dictators to kill those who disagree with them. Fear allows people to allow a dictator to gain power in the first place! Fear of failure or being out done causes businessmen to lie and cheat. Fear of getting old causes people to spend millions of dollars needlessly on changing themselves. Fear of not keeping up with the neighbor’s cause’s people to go into debt. Fear of reality causes people to become dependent on drugs and alcohol. There is fear that the world will be devastated if someone is elected who isn’t from a certain political party. Every tribulation has its beginning in fear, and the media and satan play on it all day long! Fear has torment and fear is of the world, it is not of God! God uses His Truth and His Holy Spirit to teach us, He does not use fear!
So what do we do for those who use fear, such as the media, who use fear to sell their wares, which according to Jesus is a very dangerous thing to do! “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe on Me, it is better for them that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” Mark 9:42 We don’t hate these people, or lash out against them, we do not use condemnation, just as God does not use condemnation against us, Romans 8:1. We don’t go and create our own media whose sole purpose is to point out the faults of those who are living in the world, or try and use fear of what fear can do to stop people from listening to them! What we do is love them; we love them as God loves Jesus! We pray for them, as Jesus taught us to do, and we ever live to intercede for them in a never ending hope of their salvation! “But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” Luke 6:27-28 Whatsoever thing a man soweth, that shall he reap, and through the power of the Holy Spirit that is within us we love those who hate us, we bless those that curse us, and if our enemy hungers we feed him! We sow these things because they have first been sowed into our hearts by God, and we reap the harvest of being used by God to further the glorious Kingdom that we have now become one with!
