Are you tired of people treating you like a leper; unwanted, unloved, society unwilling to love you and ask for your love, in this year of 2020 during the corona pandemic? I am!

Currently the enemy of our soul (and that is all souls) wants us to distrust everyone: become a germaphobic, be afraid of everyone and everything. There are now even commercials showing us how to wash our hands. Ridiculous!

Jesus allowed lepers to come to Him. He healed all who came to Him in faith. He never said no. He fed 5,000 men plus women and children all at one sitting. What a picnic! He used His own spit to make a blind man see. He raised stinky, dead-for-four-days, Lazarus back to life! The woman who had been bleeding for twelve years broke through the crowd. She touched His garment and the bleeding stopped!

No my friends; Jesus never once rebuked a sick person for coming to Him!

PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION HERE:

Jesus Christ, Son of God, Son of Man, coming King, Great I AM, Alpha, Omega rebuked anyone if they tried to stifle His love, His power, His blessings! Take that you soon-to-be eternally damned devil – and you demonic realm!

At this point in time it is not man’s law to mandatorily wear a mask. It is not man’s law that I can’t go in a place of business that is open and yet I’ve experienced some people telling me wrongly (wrongly!) what the rules are for the store they work at (don’t own, don’t manage.) I haven’t broken any rules; but two employees (not managers) have tried to chew me out. Forget it!  If I’m allowed to come in without a mask – don’t correct me. I’ve corrected two different employees regarding this. And I’m mad with righteous indignation. Good for me! Good for truth!

I don’t live in the kingdom of darkness: this includes ungodly fear, sickness, hatred of holiness, poverty.

No. I live in the kingdom of God and what He says I can do I do. The church buildings may be closed – temporarily – but like the Bible, like the Son, it cannot be eradicated. For those of you who don’t know: the Church is Jesus as the head and His believers (emphasis on believers; not false believers, not apostates) are the body.

Like Peter and John rebuked mere men, telling them they would follow God first, that’s what we’re all called to do. So don’t wear a mask where you don’t have to and don’t let any employee tell you you have to. When you’re allowed to go into any store and they offer curbside delivery, only stay in your car if you want to. Too bad so many live in fear and believe corona over Christ Jesus. That’s the problem with the world today!

P.S.  (Past Sin)  Fearing anything over loving God is evil! It is! Put God first and as Peter and John did: disobey when society is claiming God’s wrong. Case in point: abortion is murder. If my earned money is used for slaughtering children; it is used by force. I would never give one cent to baby murderers. God will deal with them!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FOR THIS JOY STORY:

Acts 4:12-22
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.  But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.  So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.  “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it.  But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.” Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.  But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!  As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.
