Do you remember SARS? Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome struck between November 2002 and July 2003, with 8,096 known infected cases and 774 deaths. Paranoid schizophrenics posted all over the Internet, stating that the pandemic would fill hospitals to capacity. There would be bodies lying in the streets, food shortages, lack of emergency services and ultimately, Marshall Law. Then came the news of Avian Flu. Were you one of those who raided the grocery stores, bought guns and ammunition and N95 face masks?

Will SARS or the bird flu get us? Probably. We'll also be destroyed by hurricanes, earthquakes, super bugs, global warming and we'll become slaves to the New World Order.

More and more people are suffering from anxiety attacks. More and more succumb to paranoid thoughts. These people lose their peace and their joy because they are out to get them and they forsake their commission to spread the good news. Rather, they spend their days, scouring the Internet for any tidbit of news that justifies their paranoia.

They are worthless to the furthering of the Kingdom because they are overcome with irrational fear. One by one, the devil convinces warriors that the battle has been lost and they should run for the hills.

Matthew 6:34
"So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

SARS came and went. The bird flu still hovers but has not proven to be the great pandemic that some feared it would be. The New World Order (NWO) hasn't materialized and the Illuminati is still an imaginary group of unknown individuals that no one has seen or can identify.

Get back to work, but first, get back to prayer and revive your relationship with Yahweh.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths."

Pssst! They really are out to get you, but greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. I John 4:4
