Dear friends, In light of our day's national and global fears and panic relating to the Coronavirus; do your part to be safe and relax, especially if you are a child of Almighty God (John 10:27-30; Rom. 8:26-39). Be the stability and light in Jesus that this fallen world needs to see and may Almighty God use us to share His ETERNAL LIFE and PEACE to a dying world who needs Him desperately (John 3:16-17). For we serve the ETERNAL KING of LIFE and NOT that fallen angelic thug Satan and his henchman; death, the king of fears (John 1:14; 8:44; 11:25, Heb. 1:2-3; 2:12-16, Rev. 1:17-18; 5; 19:11-21)! Have faith in Almighty God, who is our LIFE, be VICTORIOUS for His glory and the PEACE of Almighty God will guard your hearts and minds and pass all understanding in such times (Isa. 26:3, 1 Cor. 10:31; 15:54-58, 2 Cor. 2:14, Phil. 4-7, Col. 3:1-4)! As this world stops to guarantee for the Coronavirus, may it STOP and consider Almighty God
It is times like this that our faith in Almighty God will be tested to see how deep, rooted and secure we are as His blood brought children, it indeed (in Christ) is for our own good that we bring forth more fruit for Almighty God's glory!
It is in times like this that our faith in Almighty God will be tested to see how deep, rooted and secure we are as His blood brought children (Matt. 17:20, Mark 4:40, 11:22, Heb. 11:1;11:6). Such settings and times are indeed (in Christ) for our own good; to self evaluate ourselves in Christ and that we bring forth more fruit for Almighty God's glory (Matt. 26:31-35, Luke 22:31-34, John 15:1-17, Rom. 5:1-6, 2 Cor. 4:16-18, Gal. 5:22-23, James 1:2-8, 1 Peter 1:8-9, Rev. 2:8-11).
Lighthouses shine the brightest and are the most needed in the darkness of the storms of life to point to safety and preserve life. Thus are we to be Christ's lighthouse and a beacon of TRUTH, LIGHT and ETERNAL SAFTEY in such times to point all mankind to the Savior of their souls!
Lighthouses shine the brightest and are the most needed in the darkness of the storms of life to point to safety and preserve life. Thus are we to be Christ's lighthouse and a beacon of TRUTH, LIGHT and ETERNAL SAFTEY in such times to point all mankind to the Savior of their souls (Psalm 27:1, Matt. 5:16, John 8:12, Eph.5:22-23; Thess. 5:5, James 1:17, 1 Peter 2:9). Are we - as Almighty God's blood brought children - looking subjectively at our fallen world with all its innumerable crises and fears or are we seeing things objectively from Almighty God's ETERNAL and RIGHTEOUS perspective with the eyes of faith and the actions of believing (Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 1-2; Col. 3:1-4)? That is the question each one of us as Almighty God's children should be asking ourselves in this hour. Are we believing or unbelieving in such times? Remember this world is not our home and that ETERNITY with our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator and Savior Jesus Christ is our ETERNAL FUTURE (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 2:9, James 2:-8, 1 Peter 1:3-9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5). This world is just a "snap of our finger" in light of ETERNITY!
That is the question each one of us as Almighty God's children should be asking ourselves in this hour. Are we believing or unbelieving in such times?
Have FAITH in Almighty God, who created the universe and Heavens and the earth with its innumerable host and scientific wonders and laws that reveal the vast ETERNAL genius of Almighty God (Gen. 1; Job. 9:8; 38:4, Psalm 104:24; 136:5, Isa. 37:16; 45:18; Prov. 3:19, Jer. 10:12; 27:5, John 1:1-4, Acts 17:23-32, Rom. 1:18-22, Heb. 1:1-3; 11:3, Rev. 4:11; 5:12-14; 14:6-7).
Have FAITH in Almighty God the ETERNAL Father that so loved this fallen world that He sent His ETERNAL Son to redeem your soul; the One Who holds ETERNITY in His hand as a grain of sand (Isa. 52:13-15; 53; Mic. 5:3, Luke 10:16, John 1:18; 3:16-17; 5:23; 5:37; 8:18; 12:45, Eph. 1:3; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 John 4:10-14; Rev. 4; 21:22-23; 22:3)!
Have FAITH in Almighty God the Son, who so loved you that He shed His RIGHTEOUS blood and died for our sins and transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS Person of the ETERNAL TRIUNE God, to be our PERFECT RIGHTEOUS LAMB and ETERNAL PROPITIATION (Gen. 3:15; 12:1-3, Isa. 53, Mic. 5:3 John 1:29; 3:16-17; 11:25; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 1:1-3; 1 Peter 3:18, Rev. 1:5; 2:7; 2:11; 2:17;29; 3:16; 3:13; 3:22; 21:22-23; 22:3)! The One who is the Father of ETERNITY and holds ETERNITY as a grain of sand in His risen GLORIFIED nailed pierced hands (Gen. 1:1-3; Isa. 9:6-7, Mic. 5:3; John 1:1-3; 8:58; 10:30; 14:9; 17:3; Rev. 1:12-18; 21:22-23; 22:3; 12-13)!
Have FAITH in Almighty God the ETERNAL Holy Spirit, who called you to Himself and is the Spirit of ETERNAL TRUTH, our Advocate in prayer for Almighty God's PERFECT will for our lives, our Teacher, the Gift of God, the ETERNAL Power of God, Comforter and Leader and our Seal of ETERNAL salvation (Mark 13:11; John 14:16-17; 26; 15:26; 16:7-15, Acts 1:8; 2:38; 4:31; 5:32; 13:2; Rom. 5:5; 8:26-28; 15:13, 1 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 1:13-14; 4:30; 6:18, 2 Peter 1:21; Jude 1:20-21; Rev. 2:7; 2:11; 2:17;29; 3:16; 3:13; 3:22; Rev. 22:16)! The One who is the ETERNAL Spirit of TRUTH who fills and possesses ALL ETERNITY while He possesses all ETERNITY in His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS hand!
Faith sees, trusts and is persuaded by the integrity of Almighty God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! The eyes of faith set in motion the spiritual ABSOLUTES and TRUTHS of Almighty God that transform our hearts, souls and minds and move demonic strongholds and powers that dominate and control this lost world (Heb. 11).
Have faith in Almighty God in ALL things! For if we do, we will be changed from glory to glory and we will NEVER be the same! Fear (rightly reverence Almighty God) in ALL things and ALL things will not reign over you because of fear (Psalm 55:22, Matt. 6:25-34, John 14:27, Phil. 4:6-7, 1 Peter 5:7, Rev. 1:17-18). Be believing and seeing; NOT unbelieving and deceiving!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
Trusting in My Savior Jesus Christ, King of kings,Lord of lords,Wonderful,Counselor, indescribably awesome and powerful.
( let’s see if anyone disagrees with that!)
Amen! God is bigger than the boogie man!
I ain’t ascared of no China Flu.
Praying for all of us. Be strong in His mighty name. Our Lord will manage our lives and provide us with direction. Like Mary told the guests at Cana, “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.”
Thank you for posting this.
Psalm 91
Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.
Why is he doing this to us?
“Have I not commanded you...be strong and courageous...do not be afraid...do not be discouraged....for the Lord your God is with you where ever you go.”
This is a man-made thing!
It’s disappointing how little faith people have, and how rude they are to those of us who are prepared with necessities, and not freaking out. What good does freaking out do——it only pleases the devil.
I trust in God completely. Scripture repeats “Do not fear” “Fear not” “Do not be afraid”... yet most are abandoning Scripture and buying into fear sown by the devil.
I am nearly 60, with insulin dependent diabetes, and a woman...I am sick of grown men and women acting like scared little rabbits.
Amen! that’s what we need to see and believe! : )
I agree that he will protect us IF we use the brains he gave us to avoid danger. Behaving like this virus is no big deal and not taking precautions to avoid it is testing God. Use the survival skills God gave you. This is the real deal.
Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
and naked I will depart.
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised.
God is in control
God is good
God’s plan is perfect
that’s rascist! lol.. only kidding! that’s what the fake news is saying now...
Yo Alaska, that’s what I’m saying... do our part, be smart, trust in Almighty God with all our heart! : )
I am almost 80, and I am still using the beautiful brain God gave me. That brain doe snot wear out unless you stop using it. So I am minimizing trips outside, washing my hands with soap as often as possible, not shaking hands, and using anti-bacterial wipes on shopping cart handles. And not hoarding excessive necessities in house.
[[Why is he doing this to us?]]
Um- we did it to ourselves- don’t blame Him- He warned us not to eat the apple- we ignored Him- time for all of us to accept responsibility and stop trying to blame Him for it-
There were no viruses or mutations, or diseases i nthe garden of Eve- But we thought we were smarter than God and didn’t believe Him- didn’t take Him seriously- There are consequences for ignoring God- This virus is just one of them- God told us “You will surely Die if you eat of the fruit’ We chose to ignore that warning- Now we have to accept responsibility and accept the consequences of that rebellion-
“Um- we did it to ourselves- don’t blame Him- He warned us not to eat the apple- we ignored Him- time for all of us to accept responsibility and stop trying to blame Him for it-”
But he made us. Why did he make us sinful. Did he make a mistake? And if so why doesn’t he fix it? I know he could. Or is he a sadist and just enjoys seeing us suffer?
I wonder if you would have said the same if you had been in Auschwitz or living in NK under Kim Yung Un. Remember what happened to Warmbier? It is so easy to talk heroically when the situation doesn’t affect you.
Please Lord, give me strength.
