To Be Feared

Text Box: Dear Servant,

	Whom should you fear?  Should you fear those in power?  Governments can take your property and freedom; they can even harm your body and ultimately kill you.  However, they can only do so if I allow them.  The earthly rulers of men are only here for a short time.  Each has claimed it was their destiny to rule forever, but soon they are as scarce as a cool breeze on a hot day.  Should you fear the taunts and discrimination of others?  Can their words hurt you?  What power do they possess?  I spoke and formed the world.  I spoke and fire fell from heaven, devouring my enemies.  You should fear my words, they are the only ones with true power.  Should you fear the evil one?  The one who is already condemned, he whom my son already defeated.  Yes, he is the ruler of this present earth, but he can do nothing to you that I do not allow.  He will one day be cast into eternal judgment.  You should fear me.  I am the only one with the power to carry out such a sentence.  Others might destroy your body, but I am the only one who can condemn your soul.

To be Feared, I AM
