“Fear 2: The Sequel”

An oppressive spirit has overtaken this land. For when fear was dispatched with the virus, it sought to cover the whole territory like a heavy blanket, one that would dampen the personal and collective hope of its citizens. And while most can sense the heaviness in the atmosphere, very few have been able to identify its exact cause, for they assume that the culprit is the pandemic.

Though many would agree that they carry fear in their hearts about contracting the virus, they don’t see it as a spiritual matter, accepting the lie that it’s normal to be afraid of coming down with this or any illness, especially since health officials have warned this to be a very aggressive strain.

Yet, if this is true, then why are the pandemic guidelines so arbitrary? For though the common citizen is expected to fall in line, certain others are given modified exemptions, or excused from complying at all. If indeed such a threat is great, shouldn’t the pandemic protocols be upheld at all times, regardless of the circumstances or who is involved?

However, while most are found tolerating the hypocrisy by just biding their time until the threat is neutralized, there are quite a few who are now cloaked in fear, and shall, from this time forward, be plagued by this demonic spirit. For when he intruded upon their thoughts with projections of death, they agreed with his presumptions and have, as a consequence, had their hearts taken captive by his lies. Although the vaccine being pushed upon the populace has brought a sense of relief within, unless the spiritual bondage to fear is broken, these will remain chained to this dark foe, for none has the power or authority to break free from his hold on their own; it is only the blood of My Son that can unlock these bonds.

Even those who have already known redemption have given this foreign spirit of fear permission to enter their lives. They, too, are only viewing the virus through physical lenses, because most have not been taught to approach every circumstance with a spiritual eye. This limited understanding has created a disconnect in My Body, for many believers have yet to walk in their full authority. And so fear has crept into the Church, apprehending even some thought to be pillars among My children.

It is, therefore, up to those who have learned to discern: those whose eyes have been fully opened must intercede on behalf of the deceived. For though you have prayed against this evil spirit, his hold on this nation has not been fully broken. This is why he has come back with another round of frightening lies, seeking to tighten his grip on those he has already captured, as this will solidify his position and support his dominion.

So for those who have moved on in their warfare, circle back to this foe, and with the full force of your authority, cast him out of your land for good. Then entreat My Spirit to come and fill this spiritual vacancy with His presence so that the enemy has no place to strike this nation from this position again.
