Coronavirus Opportunity

                                   The Coronavirus Opportunity

I know some of you may not like my title, but hear me out for a minute. I am taking this epidemic very seriously. My heart is broken! Our lives are turned upside down right now! So many have lost their lives and it seems this virus is spreading like wildfires! It is a worldwide pandemic! There are so many things that I could say about this virus, but that is not what I'm here for. I see the devastation, fear and panic this thing has brought! People are loosing their jobs and people are panic buying everything! The schools closed and who knows if they will finish the school year. It's hard on the kids, graduating classes and teachers etc! It's hard all around. 

I believe we all can do our part and listen to what our government is telling us. Stay home if you are sick! Monitor your body and family. Wash your hands A LOT! Pray and plead the blood over your homes and each other! We have been reading Psalm 91 every single night! Put your trust and faith in God to see us through!

In times like these though, I know how my God works!! This is His speciality! We have to understand and remember who God is!! God has taken me through a little study through Exodus and Deuteronomy! I see over and over, that God just wants to be God and how he is constantly proving himself! Oh, what a gracious God we serve! He doesn't have to do that, but because he doesn't get the praise, worship and fear he longs for; he does! He wants to be THE God of your life and number 1! Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength! Love the Lord your God first! 

We have it wrong a lot of times, especially living here in America. I think sometimes people feel like they don't need a God because we are self-sufficient. Are you sick? Go to the doctor and get meds. We should pray and ask God for wisdom, direction and healing first!!! Do you need a financial help? We can go borrow from here or there, sell this or that, etc. Have you prayed and believed that My God shall supply your every need? Need help with this or that? I can go ask him, her, or them! Have we first prayed and asked God for His help? People all over have turned their backs against God and pushed him to the back burner. Well, I believe God is allowing this virus to shake things up a bit and do a little realigning! What the devil meant for evil, He will make it for good!! I have always said that God will make it where we no other choice, but to have faith, trust and total reliance on Him...like it should be!

I see opportunities for the Saints at home; to get their own minds and hearts right and their houses in order. We should be praying, worshipping and having our own church within the walls of our own home! I'm praying when we are able to go back to church we will bring such expectation and fire for what God is doing right now! I believe when we go back to church there is going to be a mighty outpouring of the holy ghost and there will be a great revival, like we have never seen!!! It's already happening, outside the walls! I'm excited!

I see opportunities for the hurting! They are in a vulnerable state and may be able to be more sensitive to the holy ghost and come back to God or be lead to surrender their lives to Him! God is their only help and hope! Because...that is what this is all about! God can provide big miracles!

Whether God has sent this virus as for judgement or he allowed satan to send it; it really doesn't matter. Jesus is about to come back for His church and I really feel like He is giving us more time for more souls to be won for His kingdom! Sometimes God has to use drastic measures to knock people down to their rock bottom. Sometimes people won't even acknowledge God until they have rock bottom. He loves us all so much! Jesus said he hoped none should perish!

Jesus said that he has come that we may have life and have it more abundantly and that none shall perish! God is being so merciful and gracious, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty! He is allowing more time for more souls to be won! He knows there is still work to be done!! We aren't finished yet!! We must be doing anything and everything we can to reach the lost and spread the gospel! I'm exctied to see so many streaming live sermons and worship services!! 

Some positives of being quarantined in our houses: cooking!, family time, purging, cleaning and organizing, no more rush!, prayer and worship as a family, getting to the to do list! I find this a blessing! I can definitely think of worse things. 

~Momma's...can I add something here! Please take time for yourself! We are with the kids 24\7, cooking, extra cleaning! We are stressed and we are living in unprecedented times! Pray and read the Word daily and often! We can't do this alone! Our children and family needs us! They need us prayed and read up! I know it's easy to get discouraged and restless. Life is different right now, but this too shall pass and we will be stronger, more appreciative and ready to win our world, like never before. The shelves will be full again. We will get to go shopping and out to eat again with girlfriends!

May we never take for granted the little things. I will appreciate the chance just to go shopping. I will appreciate placing an online grocery pickup order! I will appreciate the chance to take my family to the zoo again or go on vacation. I will never take for granted every single time the doors are open at the church; I'll be there!! Thank you, Lord, for this wake up call!! And whether, he chooses to heal, deliver and protect us now or choose to take us home now...He is still in control and He is still God! 

Let us use this opportunity for good! The devil wants nothing more than to get us down and steal our faith, but we are overcomers! Please try not to let the media panic you! Keep your eyes on the Lord! Anoint your house and believe!
Fight the good fight of faith! We can rest in His peace! Be of good cheer, He has overcome the world! 

On a brighter note...
It's Spring and the 🌞 & the Son is coming!
