Covid 19.
Brought to us by Satan and his serfs. 
Meant by him to steal, kill, and destroy we, the people. 
In stepped the Government. Purportedly for our good. Not so!

What satan meant for evil, GOD allowed for our salvation. 
However, the Powers that Be, saw it as an opportunity to advance their own agendas, line their pockets and place themselves as gods and rulers over us. Power is addictive. It’s the Opioid of the elite. 
These Powers loomed themselves so large as to hide or at least obscure the path of the ill to GOD.
The government decades ago began putting programs in place to make it easier for people to line up for a check than trust GOD to provide for them. 
Does that mean that I think all Government Social Programs are corrupt? Actually, I do. 
There’s a much more effective way than the Government to help People in Need. 

I wanted us as a Nation to trust GOD in this Covid attack instead of people like Fauci. Fauci’s way was social distancing, isolation, masks, and now a vaccine – divide and conquer is the tactic. It has worked for eons to advance the kingdom of Darkness.
And what could have been an awakening to the Love and Power of GOD has destroyed more than we have yet been able to reckon.
Is this GOD’s will? 
No.
It is His will that we all come to repentance and be saved. 2 Peter 3:9

Is it too late? 
I don’t know. 
You will need to ask HIM that question for yourself. 

Is it too late for the Nation? 
I don’t know. 
I’m still praying and waiting.

And this is the way I see it. 

John 10:10  (NKJV)
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. source 

2 Peter, 2020, Gospel of Mark

Mark 2: 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”  source

Our sins have made us sick, but the GOOD NEWS is JESUS IS THE HEALER. 

Mark 2: 10 But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority to pardon sins on earth. . ..” He tells the paralyzed man, 
11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home!”
12 At once the man got up, took his mat, and walked before them all. They were all astonished and glorified God, saying, “We’ve never seen anything like this!” source

May each of you see things today that astonish you and cause you to Glorify GOD. 

2 Peter 2: 21 For you were called to this, because Messiah also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow in His footsteps:
22 “He committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth.”
23 When He was abused, He did not return the abuse. While suffering, He made no threats. Instead, He kept entrusting Himself to the One who judges righteously. 24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we, removed from sins, might live for righteousness. “By His wounds you were healed.” 
25 For you like sheep were going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. source

Please be encouraged today, The Shepherd and Guardian of your soul IS. . .  .

Did you know Peter read Paul’s Epistles? 
I think he did.
2 Peter 3:16. 
Well, let’s start at verse 14 for the fun of it. 

14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.  source 

And look at that Peter calls his readers, beloved. I remember in some recent studies I was comforted and encouraged at the depth (what I saw in the Text) of love Paul had for his people. And I think as I study Peter more I will find he had great love too. 

Our beloved brother Paul.
Wow.

According to the wisdom given to him, he wrote to you. 

And then verse 16. as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of things, . . .

Peter read Paul’s Epistles. 

I like that!

One more thing. Did you know the word PEACE appears 397 times in the NKJV?
