Satan is working mightily among the Christians with scare tactics about all kinds of things. Fear of the quality of the food, fear of 5G, fear of chemtrails and on and on. Science proves these things are not harmful, but too many people have bought into this nonsense they even begin to feel physical things in their bodies from the fear that they have over what they had heard.
I suggest to you that if they had never read the conspiracy theories they would never feel these things. The power of suggestion can be devastating. All these things we read on the internet that are warnings, God has made it clear they are nothing more than the tactics of the devil to make Christians seem crazy so that unbelievers will not listen to them.
These fears are causing a diminishing Christian witness. I live around these things, I feel and see nothing because I do not fear them.
When we read something that makes us fearful it is seeping into our mind affecting our good sense.
2 Corinthians 10:5
"We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,"
Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
Philippians 4:7
"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus."
Colossians 3:2
"Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth."
When I see a continual bombardment of conspiracies, even if they were true, there is never a solution for them except to engage in conversation about them. I am watching the Christians walking in fear, speaking more of these things than Christ as well as fighting with others about it.
The devil has been very clever in distracting the believers from their calling of the gospel. Every time we focus on this world we are showing unbelievers we are as fearful as they are and that we have nothing more special than them.
I challenge believers to take an entire month sabbatical from all conspiracy theories, only writing about Christ. I guarantee those who do this will find more peace and even have a change of mind, a cleansing of the world from their heart and a greater love for the Word of God.
Matthew 22:37
"And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
Just something to think and pray about!
