Hello my friend , Im just jumping here into your thread.
Because we've been friends for so long now, I believe that is okay to speak my heart.
For a long time now I have been concerned about the amount of time my Christian brothers and sisters spend in 'reading about, and talking about' Covid, vaccines, and masks ! If as much time was given to talking to each other about the things of God or in prayer, Im sure the kingdom would advance much more speedily. ( "Even so come Lord Jesus")
Ive been grieved with this distraction of the Devil for a long time...Im sure the Enemy is thrilled at the amount of sidetracking of God's people and their total obsession with what the devil is doing!
Where in Gods Word does it tell us to focus on the things of the world and what the enemy is doing!?
Even in our own family circle I see them totally sidetracked. No more discussions about what God is doing in our lives, but all talk now is about Covid or what the quacks ( and elite) are doing next, to us.
Ive said before, Why do people seem so surprised at what the governments are doing. We've been TOLD what they will do at the end of the Age. We know it.
Worse is yet to come.
The admonishment has always been- "Have your lamps burning brightly and be wearing the full armour of God..."
"
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings , his heart is fixed , trusting in the Lord." Ps 112.
Living ahead on what 'they' are doing and planning for us , is robbing God's Body of what He is doing IN US TODAY.
WHY is our eye always on what the enemy is doing ...for months this (Christian) Site has talked of nothing much else!! I find it so sad.
The Kingdom is now, it is today, it doesn't start in some far off destiny.
Now is the appointed time..
now is the day of our salvation.
We have so much to rejoice about...
Romans 8 shows two basic laws in operation on this earth..one dominated by life and one dominated by death. Every day we each chose to 'live under' the one or the other.
Being born again does not mean that a Christian automatically lives under the law of life...it is a daily choice!
Where the mind goes, then man follows. And by reading , searching , investigating what 'they are , and are going to do', is not dwelling or living in the law of life in Christ Jesus.
Personally I am beginning to believe that this obsession is a large part of the last great deception to draw the Church away and weaken it.
Under the law of life we find hope. Under the law of death there is despair .etc etc...
Faith is in the law of the Spirit of life...Fear under the law of death ....
My bible says - "
Give NO place to the Devil..."
But I see Christians everywhere filling themselves , giving their time, energy, research , mind , thoughts ,and meditation to these evil things of the devil.
"Arise , shine, for thy Light has come...and the glory of the Lord is upon you"
We are called to be salt and light in the earth.
