Don't do as I do but do as I say do that sound familiar, we are living in troubled times; however, we still must hold to our faith in God. We still have leaders that are flat-out hypocritical people walking around without mask to Florida ex-presidents party in without mask at a birthday party.

The list goes on elected leaders put fear into the hearts of the American people in 2021 by using covid as the tool to place this fear.

I would like to share the following scripture from Isaiah 41:10; “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.”

Did you know that the bible tells us to not fear 365 different times? That is once for every day of the year! God makes it clear in scriptures like Isaiah 41:10 that he wants us to choose faith over fear every single day of our lives. He wants us to trust that He will provide for our every need.

You might ask, how do I have faith? I believe that faith is when we choose to stand on the promises of God even when we begin to feel insecurity or doubt. I believe that faith is like a muscle, and every time you choose to believe the word of God, it is an opportunity to exercise that muscle.

Sometimes God allows situations to arise in our lives that force us to trust him. Such as what we have been dealing with over the past 2 years now going into the 3rd year. Yes, we are faced with a difficult decision or circumstance as we welcome a new year, I want to encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God.

God is promising us in his word that He will reward our faith.  I want to challenge you to think about the areas of your life where God is asking you to take a step of faith and trust him.

Wake up, America. Let us be not afraid and reclaim our American spirit. We had Marine Corps has kicked out 206 troops for refusing to get COVID vaccine: At least 95% of active-duty soldiers have had the shot and DOJ has 'ignored' 3,247 requests for religious accommodation so a soldier no longer has religious rights what they may have believed to be their rights under the constitution Relationship to statutory or constitutional rights.

The order must not conflict with the statutory or constitutional rights of the person receiving the order. Only lawful orders must be followed. This is what the Manual for Courts-Martial says about the lawfulness of orders: discharging these military personnel is weakened or military defense. Some of the nation's soldiers facing discharge claim they are being crushed by President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate and say it's pushing out the military's best and brightest even if they are given an honorable discharge, they are still being forced out.

 You got people talking about following the science but not doing it themselves. Fauci Can't Use Science to Excuse His Missteps. science is defined as "the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena." Science is a method that humankind can use to better understand the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian's belief in science should never be like our belief in God. 

A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not. I'm not trying to belittle anyone I'm praying that believers and non-believers wake up to this fear that has been created.

 Yes, covid is real, but we need not live in fear or be forced to do something that goes against God or our beliefs. Controlling people do not have anyone's best interest in mind except their own (see Philippians 2:3). They are concerned primarily with pleasing themselves.

Many of the Old Testament kings were controlling people. They had power, and they u
