Faith, Fear, and Sickness

May 01, 2025 8:40 AM | J. Kieth Greer (Administrator)

Truly faith is the evidence of things hoped for. We are told to put on the full armor of God so that we can Stand against the wiles (lies, schemes, craftiness, trickery, deceitfulness, etc.) of the Devil. Notice we are not just to stand but to Stand against (meaning it is directed and intentional) our warfare must be intentional. All the armor is necessary, but there is an emphasis on verse 16, "Above all, take the shield of Faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." (MKJV) 
Jesus, speaking to Pharisees, said that the Devil was a murderer from the beginning and the father of Lies. He is the master liar and deceiver! My purpose for sharing this morning is to expose the deceitfulness of fear. Our enemy presents it to us every day in so many ways.

Holy Spirit, please come and examine us. Reveal and bring into light every fear we have agreed with. Help us to truly repent and come out of agreement with this wickedness. Fear is at the root of many sicknesses and illnesses. It's an open door for the enemy to access. Some would say we are trusting the Lord, but the fact is, many have agreed with the fear; in doing so, it still has access. Many fears believers have allowed are generational. Fear of some disease our parents or grandparents had. Other fears come when we are attacked by pain or symptoms in our bodies. Yes, we can have legit medical issues; however, many are brought on by fear and or acquiescence (meaning us not resisting and giving in)  The good news is we can overcome.

Pray with me, Holy Father in the Name of Jesus, we repent for agreeing with the lies and deception of the enemy, we repent for not standing against these lies and rejecting them. In the power of Your might, we pick up the Shield to Faith. We put all our faith and trust in You. We reject all lies, sickness, disease, illness, and fear. We receive the fullness of our inheritance and sons and daughters of the King. We say No to every attack and Yes to the Victory and the Provision of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We cloth ourselves in the Victory of the completed work of the Cross. Thank You, Lord.
Be encouraged, saints. Put up your Shield of Faith and walk out your salvation with fear and trembling.

    Right on! In his book "A More Excellent Way...", Henry Wright lays out the roots of many diseases. Fear is one of the biggest. Many Christians suffer allergies, not realizing that fear is the root cause of allergies, they accept them. Anxiety is fear with a different name. Anxiousness is accepted as an internal voice telling us something isn't quite right. I think it is safe to say that all Fear, Anxiety and Anxiousness are weapons Satan uses against us as ways to divide us off from fully trusting God. If we recognize them we should deal with them, but most don't recognize them. I highly recommend Henry's book, it can be found on Amazon and other booksellers.

COOKIE POLICY

Last updated July 15, 2025



This Cookie Policy explains how The Elisha Company Ministries ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://elishacompany.org ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, The Elisha Company Ministries) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our Website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality and areas of our Website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
