ICEMANforChrist

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.

Ezekiel, Chapter 2, Verse 6
But as for you, son of man, do not fear them or their words. Do not fear, even though there are briers or thorns and you sit among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or be terrified by their looks for they are a rebellious house.

Ezekiel here warns us that we must be prepared for bitter opposition when we align ourselves with the truth. However we will not be abandoned; for by the power of the Holy Spirit we will be empowered to hear the divine word of God. Let us remember that our Lord tells us in John Chapter 8 that HE who sent Him is true, and what He heard from Him He tells the world if we but listen. Today spend time alone to listen to our Lord.
