timeless teaching originally published January 2002 On Oct. 18, in a hotel in Washington, D.C., The LORD began talking to me about KCM’s place and commission—its role and anointing. I realized He was talking to me about the very reason I was born—the reason I was put into this ministry, the reason for my own personal calling. All the things God has been so gracious to allow me to see, all the things He has called me to do, all of the things I’ve been privileged to learn about His WORD—about the world of the spirit, how it functions, how it works—all of it has come to this defining moment. The LORD told me to take this ministry into an all-out attack against the spirit of fear.... He said, 'Pull the plug on terrorism!' Take a look around. Almost all you see and hear these days is fear. It’s everywhere. But it’s not so surprising—that’s what terror-ism is all about. Terrorism is defined as “the planned, organized use of fear as a weapon.” The goal of terrorism is to terrify, frighten or panic to the point that a person or people cannot resist. Oppression is “the spoiling or taking away of a person’s goods or estates by terror or force.” It means taking them away without having any right to them, and by working on the ignorance, weakness or fearfulness of the person being oppressed. So at the heart of all terrorism and oppression is fear. And in an hour when unthinkable acts of terror seem too close to home, all the world is about to see a striking difference between believers and unbelievers. Because, unlike the rest of the world, believers don’t have to cope with or tolerate fear in any way. We attack it—and get rid of it. The No-Fear Zone God has not called the Body of Christ—the Body of His anointed ones in the earth—to cope with fear any more than He’s called us to cope with poverty, sickness or any other kind of oppression from the devil. Jesus went to great effort to deliver us from all oppression. And His approach to dealing with oppression is found in Acts 10:38: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” Jesus didn’t cope with the works of the devil. He destroyed them. That was His whole reason for coming to this earth (1 John 3:8). And He destroyed them by going straight to the core of the matter. Hebrews 2:14-15 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he [Jesus] also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them [us] who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Before Jesus came into this earth, all mankind was subject to bondage. How? Through the fear of death. BVOV : 19
