GOD SPOKE this to me this morning about social distancing. The Bible tells us in the last days men's hearts will grow cold—and they have. Just go to the grocery store and run into someone (most) in fear. Look out, don't get near them, or even look at them, let alone talk to them —or you will get a deadly glare.
You can see them from afar, they wear masks, maybe even gloves. Satan has taken over the planet with fear. However, whatever —the source is Satan, he is the underlying enemy. Yes, he uses the flesh, but our warfare is not of the flesh, but with him, the enemy (2 Corinthians 10:3). And we conquer that fear with faith, but who knows that?
Because people don't know God —they only know the enemy, but unknowingly. They only know to give into the fear and then that fear (the enemy) rules them. They only know to take care of themselves and know nothing about the ways of God, thus they end up cold toward God and others.
Did you know that greater work is to tell those who don't know Jesus— about Jesus? Tell them about faith and that God loves them— that is a great work!
God loves them and He is crying. He is in love with those who are walking around in fear of other people, the air, things, and in fear of death.
Why are they afraid to die, because they don't know God. Many have rejected God, knowingly —and in doing so fear has its place in their lives. Without God we don't know, those without God don't know their faith or their future.
Many have no idea, they can trust God, they just think it is up to them alone, they don't know they can depend on God. they only have themselves to depend on, which is why there is trouble brewing.
When we have to wear gloves and masks, putting our faith in them —rather than in God we have come to distancing ourselves not only from each other, we are not only cold to each other—but also cold toward God.
God is in love with those who don't know Him. Those who are tormented in fear —His heart goes out to them, knowing they are being harassed by the enemy. Jesus went about doing good, healing those especially those who are tormented, harassed and oppressed by the enemy (Acts 10:38).
Little do they know they are already healed. Provision has already been made. If we choose Jesus we choose freedom. No matter what's going on around you if you choose Jesus you are free to be happy, free to love, and free to be healed, and yes free to have that abundant life He promised (John 10:10)!
Our part as Christians is to be a witness to those who don't know Jesus. To go about doing good, laying hands on the sick casting out demons, telling the truth —thus they no longer have to be tormented, harrassed by the enemy anymore (Acts 10:38).
It is our fault as a church for being so meek and quiet, it is time to raise our voices and do that great work Jesus asked us to do for Him when He left!
Christians be Christians now! If we are Christ-like then we will not be quiet. Yes we will make people uncomfortable, but that is what will make the change!
2 Timothy 3 But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].2 For people will be lovers of self and [utterly] self-centered, lovers of money and aroused by an inordinate [greedy] desire for wealth, proud and arrogant and contemptuous boasters. They will be abusive (blasphemous, scoffing), disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane.3 [They will be] without natural [human] affection (callous and inhuman), relentless (admitting of no truce or appeasement); [they will be] slanderers (false accusers, troublemakers), intemperate and loose in morals and conduct, uncontrolled and fierce, haters of good.4 [They will be] treacherous [betrayers], rash, [and] inflated with self-conceit. [They will be] lovers of sensual pleasures and vain amusements more than and rather than lovers of God. AMPC is real, and while many think it is not —or that they won't go there it still exists and many even if they think they won't go there —might. Not only will many will go there, but once sentenced —it is for eternity.
