Dear friends,
many of us have been impacted by this lockdown, haven’t we.
One of my clients (all offenders) was disclosing the other day that this situation of not being allowed to go out re-traumatised him as he remembered being locked up in his cell in prison for so many years 23 hours a day – he had been in a prison and he had been there during a time when all he got was 1 hour “exercise” per day…
Me, I was in the same situation in the beginning when the lockdown was so strict… in my house for 23 hours a day…
And I didn’t like it either.
In the very beginning, I did like it though to be honest.
I had been so stressed out, had had too much to do before the lockdown and it seemed as if the world had been paused for a while when it all began… time to take some breaths and recuperate at home… thinking this will all be over soon and then we will be glad we’ve had a little break.
In fact, I was in this state for a few weeks even.
Until I realized that this is not what the enemy has intended.
I am more and more understanding what this is going to be like long term, that it will not end at all, because it is only the beginning… that this is meant to be a means of controlling us.
Or a test of how far we can be controlled.
I have been doubting all the numbers of all the deaths from the very beginning… have you?
I am not even 100% convinced there is a virus at all.
There is something that makes many people ill, but if they are as many as we are told, that’s an entirely different question.
How many people have you actually seen that died of coronavirus?
Me, I have not seen one, have not heard of one that I personally know, some friends or relatives from people at work… but they could have died of anything, now, couldn’t they.
So I personally don’t believe it is a virus, but I still believe in a pandemic of evil.
I believe that people are getting ill, depressed and suicidal and lonely if they are alone or violent and abusive when they are living together – this, I can see and hear, for instance in the house where I live, the couples shouting and fighting at night are becoming more and more and the fights are sounding more intense and severe, and I am praying for them every night, praying and at the same time listening for sounds which would be so intense that I would have to call the police.
So what I believe is that the problem lies somewhere else and they are hiding it behind the pandemic.
I believe they have been creating this huge, worldwide media drama to install fear and to control us, to make us stay at home, become depressed, to discourage certain groups of people all over the world and to kill many as well.
I think they have also created something which kills people, I think it is a bio weapon they are using… and I think they want to see how many people stay at home, how many people are wearing masks, because the masks itself can spread the fear better than anything else…
I believe they are doing this simply because they cannot kill so many people all at once and also, there are too many of us to control them all, so they need more and more fear, more and more catastrophes to introduce more and more measures, restrictions and means to observe and monitor and thus control…
It is hard to put it all in words what I believe but if I had to give one word for it, it would be DARKNESS.
That’s what I see and perceive and feel all over everywhere I go, all the things I read about the virus and all the restrictions and rules coming out.
Darkness.
And I thank GOD.
Of course, the churches are closed.
But that’s only the religious building they can close and gatherings in houses they can forbid or restrict or ridicule by all the rules and masks…
THE CHURCH cannot be closed.
WE are the church.
You and me, my friend.
The church of JESUS CHRIST cannot be closed or destroyed.
To be honest with you, I am expecting some religious evil to come soon, some restrictions specifically aimed at Christians, to make us deny or betray JESUS, like Peter… or even to renounce our faith for the sake of survival or for the sake of getting access to something we think we cannot live without.
But remember, friends, GOD can provide. Whatever it is. He can provide food, water, shelter – the accounts in the bible are countless… when he fed the Israelites for 40 years in the wilderness, an entire nation! Or Elijah when he hid from Jezebel who wanted to kill him…
He can also defeat every enemy.
Armies.
Seen and unseen ones.
GOD IS STRONGER.
Stronger than any enemy.
Be it a person, an organisation, the kingdom of darkness, the devil himself – there is NOTHING and NO ONE GOD cannot defeat.
This comforts me and I am encouraged my dear friends.
And I came to encourage you as well.
OUR GOD knows what HE is doing.
In fact HE knows everything. ALL the time. And HE is omnipresent.
HE is with you and with me and with us all.
ALWAYS.
And we always have HIM, regardless of what we are going through presently.
And I am not saying it is easy, because I, too, am having a very, very hard time in so many ways at this point in my life, perhaps the hardest time I have ever had… but hey ho…
Or shall I say, but HOSANNA!
Because I have GOD and I know that HE is able.
And because of HIM, my situation is never hopeless.
I believe that now more than ever, we must bring our light to as many people as we can, the light we have and the light we ARE according to JESUS, because HE said that WE are the salt and the light of the earth.
And that he has given us power over all the powers of the enemy…
I believe HIM.
Do you?
Stay strong, my dear friend.
GOD has a plan.
For you, for me, for all HIS children.
If you have not given your life to HIM, do not wait any longer.
You can do so right now, say this prayer:
“Dear Heavenly Father, I acknowledge and confess that I have not lived my life for YOU to this day, but have been living for myself and in sin and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins just as I forgive others. I need YOU in my life; I want YOU in my life.
I recognize the completed work of YOUR only begotten Son JESUS CHRIST in giving HIS life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart JESUS is LORD and that HE was raised from the dead and ask for YOUR forgiveness, which YOU have made freely available to me through this sacrifice.
Come into my life now, LORD!
Take up residence in my heart and be my KING, my LORD, and my SAVIOUR!
From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow YOU all the days of my life. Those days are in YOUR hands.
I ask this Jesus name.
Amen.”
If you have just prayed this prayer, you are now part of GOD’s kingdom and family and I heartily welcome you, my dear brother or sister!
The next thing to do is get a bible and find a church where you can receive further instructions, so that your new life in THE LORD may prosper and that you will become who HE made you to be.
GOD bless you and if you have any questions or need any assistance, please get in touch.
I hope and pray that this will inspire, bless and encourage you. And that THE LORD will bless you abundantly in all areas of your life, that HE will keep you and shine HIS light upon you and bring you peace. In JESUS’ name I pray. AMEN
