April 2026

Nowadays, we frequently encounter news about war, disease outbreaks, financial challenges, health issues, and political disagreements. These messages come through so-called trusted news networks, social media, and the endless stream of notifications on our phones. Information moves quickly, and opinions about information move even faster.

Every day, we encounter headlines and narratives from self-proclaimed spiritual and secular guides, political leaders, new anchors, and world media celebrities who often present their perspectives as unquestionable facts.

Over time, we have been conditioned to trust what is visible and reported and to accept sources as authentic voices. Yet when God speaks through His Word, many of us do not have the same level of confidence.

This raises an important question: Whose report do you believe? This question became very real for me during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, I saw many people moving in fear as reports of the disease spread across the nation. A wave of fear and spiritual warfare impacting houses of worship hit. It brought worldwide turmoil into many hearts. I watched those in the world, and in the body of Christ, gripped by fear rather than moving in faith. Fear divided families, friendships, and even believers who were influenced by outside voices. The vaccinated rallied against the unvaccinated. This fear killed, stole, and destroyed.

We have not been the same since. Many still carry the fear of COVID and fear what may come next. But this is not how God has called us to live. We cannot live by man’s report. We must learn to live by the Lord’s report. We all face moments of fear. But how we respond to fear matters. We can resist fear by standing on God’s promises. Yes, it is easier said than done. Living in faith is not always easy, but it is required. Romans 1:17 says, “[t]he righteous will live by faith.” When I think about living by faith, I think about Abraham. He was fully persuaded – absolutely convinced – that God was able to do what He had promised. Abraham was not moved by his fears, circumstances, or the frailty of his own body. He did not dwell on the impossibilities or the odds being against him. He focused only on what the Lord had promised.

The next time you find yourself in a situation that feels unfavorable, uncertain, or unbeatable, find out what the Word of God says about the situation! Refuse to give in to doubt and fear, or to get stuck on the “what ifs.” Stand firmly on what God has spoken. Make a personal declaration of the words in 2 Timothy 1:7, “God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” Follow the advice in James 4:7, and submit yourself to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. Make Romans 8:37, an affirmation, “I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me!” Be prepared to answer the question, “Whose report do you believe?”
