                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Geri, I felt a few days ago that I should post and say something to those who might be worried or scared. I decided not to post. I was chatting with a moderator of another forum about this and she asked me to post about it. I did post on her forum.

I mentioned in a previous thread about someone who chastised me because I mentioned to him that I was scared a few months ago. I was upset by his email to me. I had to talk to other people about it. They thought what he did was wrong.

That same guy emailed me last month telling me that his wife who is a health care worker took the jab, when she did not want to do it, to keep her job. he told me to consider getting it because life will get tough for those who don't get the shot.

What? This emails comes from someone who chastised me for being scared! He and his wife don't even put up a fight against the mandate and tells me to consider getting it because "life will get difficult"

well, it looks like he is not as brave as he sounded. I wanted to point that out to him but decided not to. I just emailed him back telling him I am not taking the shot and hoping his wife will be OK.

There is no shortage of people who sound tough but when it comes to it, they are not.

I saw a post on another forum where someone was talking about how anxious they are and even describing physical symptoms because of their anxiety. Under that post was a blunt comment asking that person if they want to have fear or faith.

I was outraged. I came very close to creating an account and logging in just to tell that person what I thought about their post. Here is a person talking about her anxiety on an online forum, which would be uncomfortable, even describing some symptoms and making herself vulnerable. She needed compassion and comfort. Not for someone to talk to her like that.

Some of the things that I was going to say on my post:

It's Ok to get scared and to worry. Don't feel bad about it. Don't tolerate spiritual abuse from anyone. Life has getting harder and there is no more time for spiritual abuse anymore.  If someone has something to say you don't put up with it.

Years ago, I went to a colleague because I was very worried about something and the minute I was in her office, instead of listening to me she simple wagged her finger at me and told me not to worry because that means I don't trust God.

I immediately thought about telling her this: "OK, how about this scenario? the phone rings at 1 am in the morning. It's a hospital telling you your son is in the ER. Are you telling me you won't worry?"

I wanted to say this to her but I though at the mention of getting a call from the ER about her son, she would have just wanted to slap me in the face.

Now I regret not telling her this thought that came to my mind.

there was no reason for her to sound self-righteous wagging her finger at me and telling me that I don't trust God.

No more time for spiritual abuse. Enough is enough!

we all get worried, we all get scared.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I LOVE your testimony, Todd that the Lord will provide!   It was a blessing to read it!

Lately I’ve been worrying and living in fear and I really shouldn’t be doing this.   Saturday while walking my dog, I saw about 20 something ravens flying in a circle.  First I thought of “the birds” movie and then I was reminded of I Kings 17 when the ravens brought Elijah bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening!

I thought if we are still here and our supply runs out … either the Lord will provide manna for us all or perhaps the raven birds will drop us our food?  If so … I will be praying specifically for fried or gilled chicken legs in a bucket.  Or a cheese pizza with olives and red/green peppers. :whistle:

“Ask and ye shall receive.”  “Ye have not because ye ask not.”]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[With all of this craziness I stand on the fact that one of God's names is Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14).   He has revealed that to me so many times over my life that I'm not concerned at all about losing a job, finding the store shelves bare, or anything else along those lines.   I had lost my job several years ago and needed my truck fixed.   I went and had it fixed even though at the time I didn't have the money to get it fixed.    When I drove back home from the auto repair facility I stopped at my mail box and in the mail box was not one, but two checks and when I added the two together it was exactly to the penny the amount I had just spent on getting my truck fixed.   It was in the hundreds of dollars range so there was no way that it was some random coincidence.   The two checks were refunds from things that I didn't even know I had coming, and the key point was that when I added the amounts together it was exactly to the penny the amount I needed (it was in the $700 range -- I've forgotten the exact amount).     So with all the jab mandates, China hypersonic weapons and everything else going on around me I am comforted in verses like Matthew 6:26 and 1 Peter 5:7.    We know how the story ends and we know where our home is.   Faith over fear... it works every time.]]></content:encoded>
