Is COVID-19 A Warning To Our World From God?


Is COVID-19  A Warning To Our World From God?

Before I begin with my thoughts, let me share my core beliefs:
  1. I believe that God is not evil or creates evil.
  2. I believe that God allows events to happen to us.
  3. I believe that He can stop these events when He sees fit.
  4. I believe that God is the same as yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Now that you know my core beliefs, read my thoughts and see if you agree with them.

Like you, I am sure you remember 9/11. But what is more important than 9/11 is 9/12. On that day I believe our nation sincerely sought after God. We were scared. We looked to Him for hope, protection, and guidance.

The following years after 9/11 to February 2020, I have seen a decline in our nation seeking God. In fact I have witnessed our Nation pushing God out of the picture. We have gotten complacent. We are trading God for our modern day idols. For instance, just recently on social media, I had never seen so much hate. Democrat vs republican, states passing laws that it is OK to kill unborn children, I have witnessed sexual perversion at epic proportions. (A nine year old asking how do I tell the world I am gay?) These recent years have made me sad, as I am sure God is looking down and weeping of what we are becoming.

As Joshua Feuerstein said it best: "God has taken away everything we worship. God said, "You want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down Civic Centers. You want to worship actors, I will shut down theaters. You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market. You don't want to go to church and worship Me, I will make it where you can't go to church"

So did God cause this to happen? No

Did God allow this to happen to us? My thought is yes, and let me tell you why I think this. If you know your Old Testament Bible and it's history, look at Israel. Israel was worshipping God. They then started to do what we have done, put God last. God had to bring them back to Him, so He would allow their enemies to overtake them. This happened over and over and over again. They never learned!

Are we in this current cycle like Israel? God allows 9/11, we come back to him, stray away, then COVID-19. Has God allowed COVID-19 to bring us back to Him?

I can't help to think of this verse:

"If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Chronicles 7:14

"Maybe we don't need a vaccine. Maybe we need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world to have a personal revival, where we focus on the ONLY thing in the world that really matters. JESUS." (Joshua Feuerstein)

    3. I do believe it is a time to reflect upon how we have turned away from our God. I hope that all this will change for the better. But without patience on the part of all individuals, this will not be totally possible. I realize that God is all forgiving but those in office and those who believe it is okay to take the life of an unborn child, I question how the Lord forgives them. God bless you for all you readings.

  2. Totally agree......I have been saying that for the last few years, people are really pissing (upsetting) God off and that we all need to knock it off. It's time to pray and ask God for forgiveness and start focusing more on God and thanking him for all the blessings he has given us. The day is approaching where we are once again reminded of the sacrifice that Jesus died on the cross so that our sins were forgiven. Let's all get back on track and start worshipping God and following his commandments. We all need to work together, worship together, and help those who are less fortunate than us and start praying to God for forgiveness.....Keeping our eyes only on God our father, thanking him for all the blessings he has given us.

    4. I am so very upset that we have turned away from God. They took him out of the school's. We used to pray in school and now no more. They have even taken "In God we trust" off of some newer coins. Our airport had a beautiful Christmas tree up for all to see. They had to take it down because some people were offended by it. I pray every day to God. I need God in my life badly. Please be safe all. God Bless you all. Love you Lord, you mean everything to me...Amen..

  4. I totally agree with your interpretation. I too found myself so engaged in the ways of man as it seems for most people it's extremely hard to avoid as so much of it's influence is around us. I only wish that we could all keep a Godly frame of mind. I too have strayed from this and find myself getting angry with Satan when i lose my concentration especially when i pray. Sometimes I wonder if I pray correctly and sincerely enough and want so much to correct this. I picture myself physically knocking Satan off my left shoulder every time i lose my concentration but he seems to always be there. I only hope that i never loose my faith and always seen God for advice.I recently subscribed to this site and have made it a habit to visit every day. Thank you for your inspiration.

  8. yes this I believe totally also. we have gotten away from God, we have pushed him aside, we have removed him from our homes, our lives, our schools , our churches. we think it is ok to murder his unborn. God created only two genders male and female, not a female wannabe, or a male wannabe. God said marriage is between one man and one woman, but we made our own rules, thou shalt not sin, but we do it everyday, we do not hear or listen to God anymore. if we repent and vow to never do things again,that we know offend God, he will forgive and will cleanse our planet. we need God and we must bring him back into our lives, our schools, our homes and our churches , only then will we witness a new light from Jesus and new way of abundance from our Lord. I thank him every day for what he has done for me in the past, for what he is doing for me currently and what he will do for me in the future God Bless America..

  9. I believe the present plague of COVID-19 is an end time plague allowed by God. I think God is giving the world a chance to repent.

    2 Chronicles 7:14 says: " If My people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray to seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and heal their land."

    If people do not repent, I believe God will allow something worse to happen. If this plague doesn't bankrupt the world, the next one will.

    Thank You Father for your grace, mercy and patience...be with us and forgive us and heal our land, in Jesus name, Amen.

  10. Totally agree with this .the promises of God are always conditional. That's what Psalms 91 is about 2chronicles Ch 7 13+14:. And many many other scriptures. Trouble is today we want the blessings but not the Blessor. Forgive us Lord bring us back to you again..

  11. You are spot on! It is already written in the word. When we as a country start to obey and trust God and turn from our wicked ways then he will forgive our sins and restore our lives.

  13. I have been saying this from the start, i have been seeking the Lord on this and feel he is telling me to remember the first passover and stay home while the angel of death pass over. I know we have the blood of Jesus with us were ever we go. But i believe God is doing a shifting and shaking of the entire world. God is testing His people, He is preparing us for Jesus return! I feel he is showing us his almighty power and grace!! I want my lamp full of oil at his return. I think every day " if Jesus returned today, where would i stand? ". Yes i believe God is preparing us!!!

  16. Thank you for your realisations that shows us mankind how, where and what we have become in our world of today. We are busy with our lives in material things and in our mental and physical lives and do not build and grow our spiritual lives.

Seek your forgiveness!! Asks YOU to come into our lives and restore!! Halleluiah YOU 're there to do so. THANK YOU JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR

  20. The blood of babies is enough by itself to bring harsh judgment on not only America, but the entire world. Their blood cries out to the Father Creator in Whose image they were made. Vengeance is Mine, saith the Lord.

  22. So we all remember the story Jesus told about the lost sheep?
    And this is a very good example. If one soul will call upon the name of Jesus He will surely go and get them. So yes this is the time to turn ourselves to God. He is ever faithful.
    Amen!

  27. We have placed other earthly things like promotions above GOD. This is a good time to search our heart and come before HIM, to kneel before HIM, ask for repentence of our sins and foregiveness. Lord Father, heal your land and your people. In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen.

  29. I absolutely agree! More and more people are forgetting why we are here. I just envision Jesus weeping in Heaven. This is not what he had hoped for from his children. So many by their actions and words have forsaken him. His hopes for us are simple. . . Look to Him, praise his name, and have a servant's heart. Its time for us all to get on our knees and pray for forgiveness.

  32. I totally agree the wickedness in this world is everywhere, we have lost our values nothing has a value not even life, Our world is a throw away society,even material things do not satify us, but we want,and we want, we search in all the wrong places, we will never fill this void till we repent and turn back to God there we will find love respect peace and contentment.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Amen
    Life does not consist of what we possess, but life in the Lord Jesus Christ, provides for us the abundant life we all longs for.
    God bless everyone

  34. Yes this is so true I believe that God is angry with his children in the world. They have walked away from him and worship other idols he is a very jealous God. He deserves for us to worship him and believe in him and do as he wants us to. There are some people who do not believe that there is a God but I do believe as I called him in prayer to help us find my husban and daughter and my younger bro. I got this very warm feeling all over me and I just knew then that my people were safe and ok.Best feeling i ever had so I know there is a god and I talk to him every day or more often at times. So Thank you we do need to get back to God I also talk to my 2 adopted sons and tell them about God
