I have been asked: What kind of loving God would allow this virus to kill so many people.
My only answer I have and KNOW to be true is: There are only 2 forces @ work in the earth...Good and Evil=Faith or Fear.
*We have become gurus at pointing out other peoples flaws and shortcomings but Are we checking OURSELVES regularly and if so, by whose standard? Galatians 5 offers the litmus test (smile)-
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, sedition, heresies,
21 Envying, murders, drunkenness, revelings, and the like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

* We have all fallen short of the Glory of God-The same measure we judge people with will be the same measure God judges us with-How would we fare under the same microscope we use on others? How heavy would those "negative labels" so freely pinned to others get on your back? Kind of like the Cross on Jesus' back? Matthew 7:1-3

Ephesians 2:2-In which you once walked. You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God]

Isaiah 54:17-No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.
In Psalms 91 God forewarned us-God is not caught by surprise and HE left HIS WORD/ HIS USER MANUAL if you will, so that we would not be deceived into losing hope. We are to spread THIS...this should be the contagion that sweeps the earth.

Psalms 91:
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, AND from the deadly plague.
4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand,
NO harm will come near you.
8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling—my refuge, the Most High—
10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”

*If we are dwelling in the shelter of the Most High-we have relationship with Jesus the Christ. If we have relationship with Christ then we know: Faith without works is dead and we are not to tempt the hand of God. Matthew 4:7-Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

*If we have relationship with Jesus then we understand that while "it was thought" that Jesus was being humiliated when made to drag the cross through the land, outside those city gates, with everyone joining in "against HIM" and for all to see HIS human struggle in an attempt to discount that HE IS .....

*God's infinite plan was to give access to HIMSELF, through Jesus, to ALL people.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that HE GAVE HIS only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
*Moral of the Story: God's ways are not our ways. Way back in time @ Calvary, God knew these days would come. REMEMBER: it is satan who mimics the Kingdom of God-not the other way around. With the authority given to us of Jesus Christ, Bind the spirit of fear, manipulation and rebellion in the earth and release in its empty places the Spirit of Repentance. You have instructed us: With all our getting, get understanding. Apart from our own Knowledge and TRUE acceptance of the Abundant Love of Christ we can not and will not give it. We ask as humbly as we know how, Heal this Nation from the top to bottom and from the inside out, as it is written. 2 Chronicles 7:14

*We are created in HIS IMAGE, multi-colored like the rainbow, to dwell in HIS earth creation, peacefully.
Ezekiel 1:
24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
27 And I saw as the color of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
* Mark 12:
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is NONE OTHER commandment greater than these.
*As you all can see, the question evolved past the initial question: My goal is NEVER to offend anyone but to speak truth to life, God's truth, our confidence should be in HIS ABILITY-He leads and guides us. God is calling us back to HIMSELF-to re-train us in Abiding in Him. People are afraid, looking for "a" god, turning to all manners of things to survive, while being forced to fight for what has already been allocated for them.
Study to show yourself approved-the enemy and his foot-soldiers traffic in what we don't know. 2 Timothy 2:15
*God is the GREAT I AM that I AM. Translation: God IS whatever you need HIM to be, through the shed Blood of Jesus for YOU, yes YOU! Study HIS WILL and WAY for what you have need of and Walk in it.
*Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8
*Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14
Lastly,
1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. Selah.

Psalms 100: A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, ALL the earth.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness; COME into His presence with joyful songs.
