Hope Purveyors Pulverize the Fear of the Fearmongers by Teri Johnson
I was reflecting with the Lord on world current events & I heard the word “Fearmongers”
What exactly is a Fear-monger?
According to Websters:
A Fearmonger is the same as a Scaremonger. A Fearmonger is one inclined to raise or excite alarms, especially needlessly. And a monger is a broker, dealer & busybody who sells & distributes, stirs up & spreads something that is usually petty & discreditable.
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters.
1 Peter 4:15
So very many people today, (from all sides, including Christians) are tormented & paralyzed by the onslaught of fear & scare tactics running rampant. When you are paralyzed, you cannot move or advance. However, God has called us to advance His Kingdom, for it is in Him that we live & MOVE & have our being.
Love has secured our hearts, but Hope advances our hearts!
Are you a Purveyor of Hope?
God’s Purveyors of Hope are the exact opposite of Fearmongers. Purveyors of Hope are Brokers of GOOD News. They are Intercessors, Peacemakers, Reconcilers, Love Ambassadors of Hope, Representatives of Christ; who truly re-present Jesus to everyone. They are a perfect reflection of Him, they shine Light & dispel the darkness.
Hope Purveyors have great resolve & confidence. They prevail & succeed in truly making a lasting transformational difference in this world, for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

“Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.

John 14:27
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
When we consider the very essence of God; LOVE, He is the exact opposite of Fear. Love always opposes & conquers Fear. As God’s Hope Purveyors we have been called to Pulverize the spirit of fear.
Pulverize Defined
God’s Purveyors of Hope have been given the authority & power to completely pulverize; crush, annihilate, demolish, destroy, devastate, extinguish, pull down, shatter, smash, tear down & vaporize the spirit of fear. We are called by God to overcome, conquer & totally vanquish & subdue fear’s stronghold. Purveyors of Hope bring freedom to those held captive by the stronghold of fear, bringing them the incredible option to run into the Loving Arms of our Lord, our Stronghold & Refuge in troubled times.
The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

- As we are enjoying our hearts secured by LOVE, let’s spread that Love far & wide to obliterate the widespread & prevalent fear of todays’ fearmongers.
- As Hope advances us forward, let us be motivated to place the hand of others into the Hand of Jesus. (Who knows how many “fearmongers” will turn around & be transformed into a “Hope Purveyor” for God!)
