This blog is based on references in the Bible to fear. God wills that we “BE NOT AFRAID”. Many theologians state that the eighth deadly sin is fear. It is fear and its natural animal reaction to fight or flight that is the root cause of our failings to create a Kingdom of God on earth. By “the power of the Holy Spirit” we can be witnesses and “communicators” of a new and redeemed humanity “even to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:7 8). This blog is dedicated to Mary the Mother of God.

Daniel, Chapter 13, Verse 57

⁵⁷This is how you acted with the daughters of Israel, and in their fear they yielded to you; but a daughter of Judah did not tolerate your lawlessness.

The internet is a great tool and benefit to mankind, however, it is also used by evil men as in this chapter to enslave and kill the life of men and women caught up in human trafficking and the production of pornography.

Daniel in this chapter freed the woman Susanna from powerful men who tied to get her to yield her body to them or be killed.

Today let us emulate Daniel in freeing women from this type of slavery by never treating women as an object of desire by avoiding any and all use of pornography or venues of entertainment that use women as objects to fulfill men’s lusts. This could even include our selection of music and TV shows we watch.

We could also offer our prayers for these women by a monthly fast; thus giving up a portion of our body to redeem their bodies for the Lord.[1]
