Mirage of Fear
"Be not fearful, for the mirage of darkness can only reign in our mirage of fear." Click on the image or link to read this article in its entirety.
Evil is evil. Those who follow evil rarely know evil, for they see what they want to see. Though evil knows itself, the minions who fall into the trap know not what they do. Sadly, most will never look beyond the comfortable trappings they see as blessings.
Darkness needs not horns, a pointed tail, or a pitchfork, just desires, ego and fears. While desire in itself is not evil, it is but a tool used to steal the lost away from them selves, and consequently, God. When graces ends, and it will, those lost to fear, self-desire and the comforts of evil’s lair will have made their home.
Now is the time to take notice of what is too good to be true, what quells fears after darkness’ fomentation of that fear. In our denial, we hide in false comfort. Like hiding under a blanket from monsters, blankets nor denial shields us from the truth of deception.
As I write this, many hide in self-comforting labels, behind badges and titles, and false courage, with tools of death and power in tow. From their denials of fear, they bring reasons for others to fear. They, too, bring solutions of obedience to their coerced and threating demands from darkness.
What most do not see, is that their fears come from evil’s fear of itself. In evil’s cowardice to confront its essence, it controls the weak in their fear of confronting themselves. In this cycle, we blame and dominate others in our fear of looking at our own darkness, just as evil dominates from fear of itself. This downward spiral is difficult to leave, not just for the fearful and self-justified but for evil as well.
When grace and mercy are offered, the lost can afford themselves of that grace. Even Satan, if only courage would allow, can be forgiven. You see, grace is given when grace will be received. When the prideful is unaccepting of grace and mercy, one will never know of its offering. If you are drowning and I reach my hand to save you, you can either reach back, or drown. Christ offered salvation, but salvation must be accepted. In our rejection of the Hand of God, our drowning is from our choice. There can be, and is, no one else to blame. We, like it or not, deny or not, are responsible. In the choice of not being responsible, we are responsible. Yes, we can hide beneath our comfortable blankets, but the bed we lie upon is made by us.
Now, those of God must speak without fear of man’s consequence. We must speak from the strength of God, or we convey the weakness of fear, of evil. The beast is near, and day-by-day, it demands more and more. In our being fearful, we accept the beast’s mark. Be not fearful, for the mirage of darkness can only reign in our mirage of fear. ~ I Am - Wisdom
