King James Bible : Matthew 6:
24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25: Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26: Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27: Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28: And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31: Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32: (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34: Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The command "do not fear" is written in the bible 365 times. One for every day! It is a command straight from the mouth of God, I think that makes it fairly clear enough for peoiple to take notice and obey. Of course you have the option, you can always continue to live in fear and disobey God, it is your choice. Also be aware that fear is the total opposite of faith, so if you are fearful you are not living by faith. Think we need to look into this a little further. So let me start with a few examples in the Bible who have been told not to fear.

Elisha is completely calm, completely sure of God when he says, "Do not fear."
When I look at scripture and I go all the way back from God's blood covenant in Genesis 15 with Abraham, he says that exact phrase, "Do not fear" all the way to when God then goes to Isaac and Isaac has to start his life and God says "Do not fear".

Then he tells Jacob you're gonna have to go down to Egypt and when you go down to Egypt in Genesis 46, he tells him to go on down and what does he say? do not fear.
we see it again when God tells the people to conquer the Promised Land at the beginning of Deuteronomy.
we see it again when God calls and encourages Joshua to lead the people.
from Gideon in judges 6 to David in the book of Samuel.
from Isaiah to the call of Jeremiah and the encouragement of Ezekiel and Daniel "do not fear"
over and over again, there's this common message. do not fear.
he knows where your story ends and he's in complete control of it so do not fear.

So why is this so crutial? First reason is that fear is the total opposite of faith, so if you are living in fear your are not living by faith, which also means that you are out of favour with God.
But if you watch the local tv news channels and programs, you could say it is a little worrying but the UK is not a fearful place, the occassional murder, a few strikes, possibly some inflation data, some cold wet weather is about as bad as it gets. However tune into the Israel News via the internet or on uTube and we have something completely different to that reported on your 6 or 10pm news program. Below is a quick summary of news out of Israel over the space of approx 5 days Monday to Friday in the middle of March 2023.

You will see that Israel is tearing itself in half, politically left v's right wing politics. The new Netanyahu government v's the old Lapid coalition. The cause is partly the Israel governments Judicial reform, many and particularly the Left wing political parties and voters are rioting openly in the streets. Althopugh that is not the full story, elements within the left wing organisations who are orchestrating the unrest are being paid by external organisations to carry on the unrest to bring the new right wing government down. So what you ask.

The surrounding countries of Israel, such as Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, which holds the terorist factions of Hamas and the armed Palestinian groups in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iranian militias in Syria have all in some format sworn the destruction of Israel, they see the riots and they believe that the moment they have been waiting for has arrived. Israel is divided to the extent that soldiers in the reserve force are refusing to serve, the riots and violence is shown on Arab news channels on a daily basis, the terror groups are massing on the borders. Even if Netanyahu was to stop the judicial reforms, this would not stop the demonstartions or riots, because the opposition just want to get Netanyahu out of government.

An explosion that occurred Monday morning at 6 AM at Megiddo Junction in northern Israel.

The gag order that was in place has been lifted, allowing the details to be reported. I will explain why the gag in a moment.

A Lebanese terrorist, believed to be trained by Hezbollah, crossed the border into Israel and went to Megiddo Junction, a busy central junction on Route 65. He carried an explosive device that could have killed hundreds of people, a Russian version of the USA Claymore type bomb, you would see them a lot in the movies being set up with trip wires. It contains some 700 ballbearings the size of your little finger nail. However, the explosive detonated when the junction was empty, causing damage to a car on the other side of the road and injuring an Israeli Arab who was driving three lanes away. Normally at that time of the morning it is rush hour and the junction is usually packed.
The terrorist later escaped, wearing an suicide explosive belt, and traveled back toward the Lebanese border. Israeli Special Forces waited for him, and when they saw that he was wearing an explosive belt, they shot and killed him on the spot. Hezbollah's involvement is suspected and propably known, but no one is daring to say it aloud. Hence the gag order. They cannot, if anyone mentions that this was a Hezbolla terrorist attack Israel would be at war and this would not be a little 6 day war, because Hezbollah would request all the other terror organisations join in the fight, so Syria, and Gaza would start, Israel would then be fighting on several fronts.
Tunnels have been found starting in Lebanon and entering into Israel that Hezbollah will use to transfer terrorist and weapons into Israel. They, Hezbollah, do not hide the fact that they are preparing for the great campaign which is to wipe Israel off the map.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have via China signed a deal to work and trade together. Saudi and Iran have been arch enemies since the 1970's but Saudi is supposed to support Israel in the Gog Magog war of Ez38 and 39. They have 2 months before the agreement is put into place and becomes official. If the deal goes ahead then, Saudi will have problems joining the Abraham Accords with Israel. This is simply a cry for help from Saudi to the USA saying "If you are not serious about helping to sort out the Iran problems then..."

Tuesday a USA drone was knocked out the sky over the Black Sea by a Russian fighter jet. The Russian embassadore in USA, Anatoly Antonov stated that a deliberate attack on a Russian aircraft in neutral airspace is an open declaration of war. Threats are flying back and forth between USA and Russia.

Wednesday evening it has been reported that 2.5 tons of natural Uranium has gone missing from Libia, a site that is under terrorist control.

Thursday, North Korea fires a ICBM eastwards over Japan and into the Pacific ocean.

For the last week 3 banks in the USA have completely failed and gone belly up, 9 other banks are in serious crisis. Banks in Europe are in trouble although they have been bailed out for the moment. Most of the banks are associated with the tech industry, there has previosly been prophesy's about this. Tech companies especially social media ones are under the cosh.

O and the month of Ramadam is approaching, a month when terror activity usually escalates by a huge amount. I havnt even mentioned the Iranians about to build a nuclear bomb, they already have enough purified uranium to build a bomb.

China, Russia and Iran are about to hold a huge Naval Exercise in the next couple of weeks. Iran has supplied Russia with drones, Russia is now supplying Iran with SU 27 Fighter Jets and any NATO weapon captured in Ukraine is being shipped down to Iran to reverse engineeer the technology.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin has not yet found out how far he can push NATO before they respond, NATO has allowed him to keep going, ok NATO has supplied a few weapons but at the moment NATO is trying to get Israel to help and arm Ukraine. You only need to add Turkey to the 3 countries above and you have the Gog, Magog coalition of Ezekial 38 and 39.

Satan is trying to wipe Israel off the map, we are required to fight. Satan is trying to change the timeline and word of God and the world is watching whilst the church does very little if anything.

So how do I deal with this? What should I do? How do I fight?
I will pray and I will pray scripture, personalise it for me and also for the situation at the time, over my community, country, city, the world. 2 passages come readily to mind
The devil saw me with my head bowed and thought he'd won until I said AMEN

Psalm 91
Psalm 23

Psalm 91 King James Version
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Psalm 23 King James Version
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
