"They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy."
(Jonah 2:8)
Throughout the journey of human beings on this planet, biblical historical facts state how our Loving Heavenly Father and Creator's deals with His disobedient, rebellious children, us...
Yes, It might sound a bit harsh but that means you.
Didn't you know that each breath and heart beat is a gift of God. Doctors and nurses are trying to save patients that can't breathe on their own. Helping us find out that we've been taking life for granted
I mean look at it, in spite of seeing the devastating news on Covid-19 coming out of China, Italy, Spain, and New York City, we are not processing the fact of the attack of an invisible enemy. An enemy that leaves a trail of truck loads of dead bodies. Believe me they did not volunteer for this.
Instead of cheering on your balcony nightly with pots and pans (what shame to human race). We all should be on our knees praying asking for Gods forgiveness that He might change His mind not allowing this nasty bug and death to move through us like we are nothing.
Corona virus is only a warning for us, but in the past God was going to destroy an ancient city named Nineveh by judging it,
"And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way: and God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto them and He did it not." (Jonah 3:10)
(Read the whole book it's only four chapters and well worth every minute reading it.)
No... But instead you go out and live your "life" like nothing is happening, taking a leisurely walk down the beach, in the park crowds spreading corona virus everywhere you go in spite government orders. If you don't obey the government, would you do God?
You might say you're a giving, loving person and would never hurt anyone so on... But the sad fact is that in the site of Holy God, "for all have sinned and come sort of the glory of God." (Rom 3:23)
...This means our good deeds don't count. If Jesus the Savior who was a truly righteous man in flash, now in the right hand of God in Heaven (after ascending front of eye witnesses Acts 1:9) clarified,
"and Jesus said unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God." (Mark 10:18)
In case you did not know, hear, or understand Jesus Christ is God, which means God was manifested in the flesh. He has the power to forgive us, in times like these so we can correct our ways.
He, Jesus also promised, "and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13)
Pray this prayer with me if you believe that Jesus Christ has the power to forgive sin:
Heavenly Father be merciful to us your children and stop this pestilence that has been let into this world with death to kill and destroy, we have sinned against you and come short of your glory. Forgive us through the blood of Christ Jesus your only begotten Son to whom be glory praises and honor forever.
Amen.
Prayer of Salvation, pray this prayer as you are coming to God:
"Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
