I Will Not Fear The Pestilence

You will not be afraid of the pestilence that stalks in darkness. –Psalm 91:6a

If you fight fears of fatal diseases, this is the Scripture for you to take hold of!

The third category of evil that God names is pestilence. This is the only evil He names twice. Since God doesn’t waste words, He must have a specific reason for repeating this promise. God knew the pestilence and the fear that would be running rampant in these end days. The world is teeming with fatal epidemics that are hitting people by the thousands, so God catches our attention by repeating this promise.

It’s as though God is saying, “I said it in verse three, but did you really hear Me? Just to be sure, I am saying it again in verse six—you do not have to be afraid of the deadly pestilence!” This is so contrary to the world in which we live that we have to renew our thinking before we can comprehend the fact that we do not have to be afraid of the sicknesses and diseases that are epidemic in the world today.

Our inheritance is not limited to what is handed down to us genetically from our ancestors. Our inheritance can be what Jesus provided for us if we believe the Word and put it to work.

The enemy may try to cause sudden surprises to catch us unaware and knock us down, but God is faithful. His Word is true no matter what the circumstances look like.

Pray Out Loud.

Lord, thank You that I do not have to be afraid of disease and sickness. I have received your inheritance as my own. I choose to put my trust in Your Word as I dwell in the secret place. In the name of Jesus. Amen
