How is Everyone Doing ?
HoneyLamb56:
It can be overwhelming and my heart goes out to those who are in dire difficulties because of job losses, social isolation and the economy. Remembering those in prayer who are on the front lines and those that have to work and put themselves at risk.
Reading and rereading Psalm 91 brings me a lot of comfort.
God is in control and this virus, to me, is a huge test of faith in that we are to rely on Him and trust Him in ALL cirumstances. I'm sure these circumstances are really challenging a lot of people in their faith.
Praying for all saints that we will soon see some light and to hold fast and for His guidance; that our faith not be just lip service.
Rhys, I don't mean to sound glib but time does heal; I lost my husband 2 years ago today and have been in a semi isolation during that time as no close family or friends to visit me on a regular basis; He did give me one great friend who kept in contact with me, long distance, once a week. Thank God for the faith and friend He gave me as it kept me out of depression even tho it made me do a lot of self reflection of my life/character etc; it also made me speak to Him more often and read His word be it the bible, Ray's material etc. Rhys that/His strength is in you!!
May God's blessings be on you all.

My daughter got laid off yesterday and has only five days to get out of her home so her
landlord can move in .She has a husband who doesn’t work and two seven year old twins.
The government package won’t be available for ten days apparently and she is experiencing
much anxiety as many are. Joblessness abounds. People are panicking, and this virus is spreading
like wildfire. Many are not adhering to the stay at home rules so they have begun arresting people.
I watched in horror as a leading Premier of a big province stated regarding the hoarding of food.
And I quote “ there is a special place in hell for those who do such things” .
After reading again this morning the Origins of eternal punishment, I have a better understanding of Christian
doctrine in the bigger scheme of things . It’s evil and disgusting blasphemy.
From Rays teaching
God has sternly warned in Deut.12:30-31
We at BT are blessed to know that
There is always salvation on the other side of judgement.
God is good and God is wise, and God is powerful and God is Love,
and God is enlarging His family with billions of sons and daughters
who will truly be for the first time in history, purged and purified and
finally molded into the desire of Gods heart from the beginning of time
when He declared “ let us be making humanity ,,,,, in our image.

Meanwhile in South Africa,the country goes on a lockdown beginning of tomorrow.
Tough times lie ahead as winter is also around the corner.
What will happen will happen according to His.
Peace to you all according to His will.

I was so glad to hear from so many! Don't you just wish in a time like this we could all be together? We would put our arms around Rhys and Tim, and have big dinners and study together and laugh (while social distancing of course ). And one day we'll do just that ( without the distancing ).
This all feels to me like a pestilence we've been told to look out for, and I feel like we will be seeing more of this.
I'm trying to make the most of this time. It's not what I would have wanted, but it does present an opportunity for quiet, for study, for doing the things we need to do at home, for health, for kindness and for thinking of others before ourselves. I feel unsettled but not unrooted .
May God continue to be with you all, because the days are getting shorter. Be well.

All this will pass, and the Lord is preparing a place for every last stinking one of us Here or there, whether we live or die,, we're with Him. Let's love one another while we're here.

That's what I'm talking about Dave. My wife has been a bit worried lately because the whole world is telling us to be scared, so I told her about how Jesus comforted those that were crying because their child had died, then Jesus telling them the child was only asleep and not dead, and then commanding her to come alive again. I think telling my wife about that helped. Jesus will make us whole again, not just physically, but especially spiritually.
Covid-19 may be real, but I think it's getting blown way out of proportion. More people die from the common flu (among other illnesses) than they do from this new over hyped virus. The person that modeled the virus and then predicted that the virus would kill 500k people in the UK is now changing his tune to say the new estimate is less than 20k people dead in the UK from covid-19. However, main stream media is still using the old data from the previous model, wonder why.
Don't know how reliable dailywire.com is, but for what it's worth, check this out. https://www.dailywire.com/news/epidemiologist-behind-highly-cited-coronavirus-model-admits-he-was-wrong-drastically-revises-model
Sadly, the person behind the covid-19 model is already crediting the quarantine efforts to his new less drastic model. This quarantine will set a new precedent for future biological emergencies.
Just like with the flu, our elderly and those that are immunocompromised are probably more susceptible to this. So as always keep them safe.
BTW, I'm doing ok octoberose, thanks for asking. Lets all remember each other in prayer. God be with us all.
