March 2020.

This is a different type of entry.  I guess it’s what I would call ‘real time’.  We all have our thoughts and concerns about what is happening in our world concerning the Corona-Virus.  Personally, it takes me to prayer and my journal. I started out praising Him because more of us are praying and I was so grateful for today’s technology.

From the journal: March 17th, 2020

. . . Corona-virus/COVID-19. We are in a quarantine type circumstance. We have fears concerning health, family, jobs, the economy and people’s rights.  Many fear political abuse and news media manipulations. Our lives are changed!

Lord, show us how to help. Show me how to help.

John 14 was impacting me because You were telling the disciples that even though you were going away, that they can have peace. This was right before you went to the cross.  You stressed that they could have peace, but not like the world’s peace.  You talked about the Holy Spirit coming and You leaving.*  Scary times for them yet You said they could have peace.  You said the enemy was coming but he had NO POWER over You. *John 14:25-31

You seem to be requiring us to go thru these ‘deep waters of the unknown’.  Plague, quarantine, isolation, loss of jobs, school closures, social distancing, and economy upheaval. All these huge changes but the enemy has ‘No Power Over You’.  That is GOOD news, Lord. 

And I Believe God Said:

Here’s what I want.  I want My people to point to Me.  People want hope.   They want everything to be back to the way it was, but I could not leave them where they were.  This virus is not controllable by man. Apart from Me, man can do nothing.* I’ve given wisdom to man for many diseases. The time of seeking My wisdom is upon this nation.  Pray that I be glorified.  All 3.  Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  For those seeking Me, I will give answers.  They need to choose Me and choose to believe what I say.  Continue to pray the full armor* and then battle in prayer.  The enemy’s target is not the physical body.  It is the hearts of the people and the soul of America.  Stand up and pray against those plans.  This will not be a quick fix. 

John 15:5. Eph 6:10-17

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