Tom Fisher on Fear Mongering

 



Dear Pastor Jackson,

Bird brain fearmongering by the chicken little news media and internet experts is again creating hysterical fear and panic in America. California is already gripped in hysterical fear. Their lie is always the same:  "If you don't do this then this terrible thing will happen to you." Sound familiar? Remember the churches were all CLOSED on Easter Sunday. Hysterical FEAR reigned, stampeding Americans to do very STUPID things without even checking and researching for the truth.

[GJ - We were not closed. First Amendment, Bill of Rights.]

Looking back a few years I remember 70% of Americans believed Satan's hysterical lies and followed his orders without even checking and researching to see if it was actually true. Now we know it was a huge lie and soon we will really see the truth.

Pastor Jackson I just watched and listened to one of your earlier sermons where you amplified the strong faith of little children: "Jesus is God! Jesus can do anything!" Yes, God's Holy Infant child Jesus born of the virgin Mary lying in a manger is true God and true man in one person. He took all our sins upon Himself, crucified, dead, buried, and then risen from the dead the third day, ascended into heaven to sit on the right hand of God the Father for us sinners. Here is our true God and eternal life. All the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him bodily. Colossians 2:9

"For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:9

TURN OFF the TV and Internet fearmongering lies of Satan and open Luke 2. By faith walk to be with the shepherds as they watched over their flocks on that cold clear star filled night. I do this many times. It is peaceful and quiet as I look over my flock of sheep and by faith join with the shepherds.

 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

Abstaining from Bad TV and evil Internet is the fruit of believing in Jesus. I grew up without TV spending my early teenage years reading, studying, and memorizing the King James Bible. My brother's and I spent our time in gardening, woodworking, reading, fishing, hiking, and learning interesting things. We built a 16 foot canoe in our basement. Overhauled an engine. We were never allowed to fight each other and we still help each other today. This is the fruit of believing in Jesus. We can do nothing without Jesus. Jesus is God. Jesus can do anything.

So fill your hearts and minds with good things. What is able to equal Luke 2. Only one thing is needful so choose the better part that cannot be taken away from you: God's Word in the King James Bible. 

Yes I still watch Andy Griffith, Ozzie and Harriet, Roy Rogers and the sons of the pioneers, SOUND OF MUSIC, State Fair, but how does this compare to God's Words? So believe in Jesus and abstain from lusts that war against the soul. Jesus is God! Jesus can do anything. I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

In Christ,

Tom Fisher
