It is good judgment to do as the authorities are asking. Otherwise we are being rebellious. God does not want that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not think that that means we throw caution to the wind. Dear sister, I wasn't talking about people here at Worthy, ...my reference to "here" was here in Tahiti. I get all kind of strange looks because I walk around not wearing a mask, ...to me this "panic" is just what Father said He would do, "shake" the world one last time. I look at it as an excellent "time" to share the Gospel with the panicking "religious," Sunday go to church people here. I personally believe the truth of this "virus" proves is it is man-made, and we can see it is being fueled by demonic intentions... Like I said, ...Father has made a promise to me, Psalms 91 and the "only" requirement to be "dwelling" in His "secret" place is to "believe" in Him. Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him (Jesus) whom He (Father) hath sent." John 6:28-29 Beloved, ...John tells us that our Jesus is the written Word, the Logos: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 Since Psalms 91 is a part of the "written" Word, ...Logos, ...then we need to "believe" it just as much as we "believe" the rest of the Word, ...Father doesn't want His children to pick and chose what "we" want to believe, ...He wants us to "believe" ALL of what He has said. May I humbly suggest you go to Father and ask Him if it's true, and let Him teach you, show you, hold you in His arms and let Him comfort you and Love on you...

Or other people in danger. I am getting so annoyed by people who are refusing to understand the seriousness of this situation. They are putting everyone else at risk! We do everyday things in life to protect ourselves. We lock our doors, we wear our seatbelts, we put candles out when we leave the house. Why is this situation any different than that? Yes God protects his children. But he also expects his children to have sense. God will protect me crossing the street. But that dose not mean that I should go lay down in the middle of it. I would really like to slap some sense into people right now. But I have to keep my social distancing. So I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuteronomy 24:8 Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. Hi Mary, I do praise the Lord that diseases such as leprosy, polio, smallpox, and even childhood communicable ailments that can prove more than problematic later on have been curable for numerous years. Leprosy is not all that easily passed from person to person as once thought. But, we are facing a far more concerning situation with COVID-19. It's sweeping across the globe with no positive approach to a cure by any means soon. In historical times lepers were colonized and they still are in third world nations where it has gone untreated and overlooked. Is this the answer today? Gather up everyone infected as some right wing extremists proposed we do when the onslaught of AIDS exploded in the 1980's? I think this proves to be a poor solution at best, and would hate the idea of it to come to being. Coronavirus is far more contagious, but we shouldn't allow alarmism. Just my thoughts on the situation. Thanks for the allowance to speak out about it. God bless. Shalom, David/BeauJangles By the way, if I made a mistake on what appeared to be the intent of your post, please overlook it. I'd also appreciate not being quoted on this from anyone else either. One scolding a day is more than plenty enough. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually isolating individuals (into leprosariums or on islands) didn't cross my mind regarding diseases like coronavirus. Just that the Lord did place much in the law as to the observation by the priest, dealing with the contagion on the person, the home with signs of the disease, and the clothing. I believe it reveals His love to the community and the person with some communicable diseases that there be guidelines, protective precautions. The US only has about 160,000 ventilators and with over 300 million people and coronavirus being easily transmitted and so many in hospitals, we will help the sick if we take a few steps to slow the spread. The medical personnel are asking us to help in this way. Edited March 24, 2020 by Mary8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviticus 13:45 (KJV) And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were so many verses in Leviticus chapter 13 that I overlooked that most powerful one. A covering on the upper lip would be a covering over the mouth, just like the masks. So amazing and wonderful that He would help the people before germs were 'discovered.' Edited March 24, 2020 by Mary8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
