The Missionaries Chose Faith Over Fear!

Some missionaries were faced with having to take the vaccine in order to remain in the country in which they were ministering. If they would not take it they would have to leave the people they loved and where God had sent them to bring the gospel to the people.
Praise the Lord they made the decision to take it in order to continue ministering to the people they had worked with for many years.
When we fear anything, even the vaccine or the virus we limit God's miracles. God can protect anyone getting the vaccine when they must do it to remain faithful to God.
Satan is working hard to bring gripping fear into the hearts of believers, causing them to think they are being noble for not taking a vaccine. Even inculcating into their minds fears that may not even be true.
I suggest that a lot of the hype we hear is false and many people are allowing the devil to prevent them from engaging in activities and duties that God has ordained for them, merely to "protect" themselves.
I do not fear the mask, the vaccine, the politics, or anything else that is going on nearby, God is my protector.
Worse than the fear of these things is the way this fear is causing believers to fight with one another. It is astounding that Christians are arguing and fighting over something that God can protect them from. Where is their faith? Is their faith in what they put into their bodies or is it in Christ?
Matthew 6:25-34
The Cure for Anxiety
25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they?
27 And which of you by worrying can add a single day to his life’s span?
28 And why are you worried about clothing? Notice how the lilies of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin thread for cloth,
29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’
32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Since there is no clear command from God about this vaccine or virus no one can judge another person for whether or not they partake. Acting superior and arrogant toward someone who does something different from you is pride, and we know how God feels about pride.
Satan is working on every level in everything to cause believers to argue and fight about something that does not matter for eternity. If he can distract us from speaking about Christ, even causing hurt and anger in one another, he laughs with glee at how easily many have been manipulated and deceived to take their focus off of Christ.
We are living in days of deep deception in which the devil is attempting to divide believers, sadly it is working for many who love their perceived superiority.
May the Lord open the eyes of those who love their fights, who love their feeling of superiority and who love to be first in everything. And, may those who are under attack from these people ignore their foolishness, resolve to obey God even if others do not understand.
If God tells you to get the vaccine, do it without guilt or explanation. If God tells you not to do it then obey Him, He knows what His purposes are, when no one else does.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.…"
Hallelujah!!!! Stop looking to this earth and look to Christ, you will never fear if you do this!
