Did God call Adam “needy” or did He say “it is not good for man to be alone?” She is alone raising a baby without a husband by her side. That is hard. If there is anyone who deserves our patience, it is a new mom with no husband. And we are all needy. Every single one of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not looking for a message about the end times. Many are looking for information about the end times. Just look at many of the posts on Worthy. Are you afraid of the prospect of the end times? That God could rapture the born again Christians at any minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we're nearer to the end times or not really but this is just a misfortune that happened. Is God saying anything to anyone during this perilous time? "In comes the Devil". You might want to check out that Thread. Also, we are not close to the end times, we are in them..... But even being in them, is a continuing process, as God is always continually bringing His word to pass. If the Corona Virus crisis lasts long enough to cause a total economic default, globally, Then the devil incarnate will show up to solve it. If my READER is not born again, is not SAVED.....then Take my advice if you end up here with him.......Don't take his MARK and join his economic salvation plan. If we the born again believe that Heaven is our home, then anything which causes the end times to fully transpire, we should welcome. Pray for the sick, keep yourself safe, and always keep looking for the LORD to COME AND GET YOU. God didnt cause the virus, but He certainly knew it was coming and He certainly knows WHY its HERE.....= right NOW.

So rather than preach or teach we should show the hope that lies within us no matter what happens... Blessed assurance is what we should exude and of course, that will come from the Spirit of Life that is within us. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on anyone so needy being okay with the suffering and deaths of others. So needy? What does that mean? I did re-read my message and I see how it came off kind of cold. I didnt mean it that way. The death of the young and are both tragic but a child has yet to live their life which is more tragic. If it were life and death for me or my son-- I wouldnt hesitate to die. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
