The devil is a liar. His method of operation is to deceive. And when he deceives, he then ushers in fear or some other negative spiritual influence to get us to receive what he is lying to us about. Our duty is to reject the lies and not comply with his plan.

For example, if the media tells you that another worldwide health threat is coming, don’t buy it. Go to God for guidance. He will let you know what you need to do- or not do. And one thing we never need to do is fear.

He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7 (NKJV)

The enemy likes to spread his falsehoods through multiple avenues. He may use the media, then he’ll use the followers he has planted in the medical profession, then compromised leaders in the church, and so on, to promote the same lie. And if we buy into it, we will open our mouths and agree with the lie. When we do that, it opens the door for the lie to have access to our lives and to manifest in reality. What we believe and receive and confess is what we get. That’s a basic spiritual principle that Jesus spoke of.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Mark 11:23 (NKJV) emphasis mine

And then if we go a step further and line our actions up with the lie, we have given the enemy quite a stronghold. When we accept the lie, speak the lie, and then act on the lie, we have just given him free reign because we have bowed to his will and not to the Lord’s will.

So, when we hear rumors about another contagious sickness or other incoming illness, don’t get onboard with what they tell you to do without consulting the Lord. If they tell you to resume wearing certain facial protective devices to supposedly stop the spread, don’t do it because God has already shown us it is not effective and actually causes more harm than good. When they tell us all to stay home or maintain a certain distance from others, follow God’s instruction instead, and go to church and fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ. And, if they promote medications or certain injections to prevent you from getting this mysterious illness, resist. We have seen thousands of otherwise healthy people who have suddenly died since they took the previous injections. Don’t comply with the lie.

In the times are find ourselves in, don’t make the same mistake twice. Don’t blindly follow the media, the government, or even well-meaning physicians or family members. We’d better have a personal relationship with God and know the direction He wants us to take. Everything depends on us trusting God over the word of man.
