One of the most prevalent sources of fear is today’s media-driven culture.
Fear and dread are communicated minute by minute right into our
homes, our cars, shopping centers—nearly everywhere we go—through
the news, television, Internet, movies, music, and more. Advertisers and
newscasters sometimes use fear to manipulate us.
Take an inventory. How much of the evil forebodings–anguish and fear–
you feel in life is creeping in through the media you are watching, listening to, and reading?
It can be very subtle - oftentimes we don't even notice it, yet the devil uses these
to create negative strongholds in our hearts and minds.
Challenge: Take a moment and write down what you are allowing to influence you
and what postitive changes you could make. (Should you let some of it go? Stop
viewing so much TV or Internet? Change the channel or radio station?
