His days were never numbered

He has no beginning and no end

personally, I find it really annoying when someone thinks they are the only true believer in the room

whatever

I’m in America 51, there’s more important things happening that might keep me home and not a threat of getting a virus. I think the stay home agenda is the world saying it, I’m trying not the follow what the world says but it might come down to being arrested who knows but until then I’m going to live my life and not in fear or worry or concern.

My mantra is "Fear not" says the Lord. You are correct in the 'stay at home' agenda. It's the political correct term of the month being driven by the media. Instill fear in the masses so that you then can control them.

No one has a realistic picture to give....... just saying. No one really knows, only God. If He wants us to know, He'll reveal it to us by His Holy Spirit.

So far, the Holy Spirit has NOT given me ANY REASON to fear - just to remind everyone that God loves us and we are NOT to fear. Abide in His Love for you. The world goes crazy, we don't. We walk in peace.

About staying home, the thing is not everyone that is employed can work from home and my work requires me to be there on site. I work to provide for my family so staying at home is not a viable option. Being forced to stay at home, even if I am not afflicted will, in itself, make me sick.

I understand ... if you work, you have to do what you have to do... we can all still follow the guidelines they have issued and not put our heads in the sand and go into some kind of denial.... how does that help anyone?

All I am saying is both Canada and the USA are at the start .. it may all be good or it may not,but we as individuals need to be responsible because at this point we really do not know yet... but the next two weeks will give a good picture.

oh good grief

I was just talking off the cuff

I know what's real. by the way, why do you call yourself 'smoke'?

not really asking btw
Click to expand...
Well, as long as we agree and understand it's not real news, then cool. I'm glad you know better! :D

As for your question that you asked that you're not really asking (not sure what you meant by that), "Smoke" is a character from a game. It's not in reference to smoking. I've never smoked anything in my life. If I told you I watch Fox News or CNN, then I'd understand if someone thought my user name was in reference to smoking crack. :ROFL:

I think she has me on ignore because I have disagreed with her passing off posts like she is the only believer around. whatever

who is to say that prayer in the first place has not occasioned a preemptive response and 'common sense' responsibility?

I mean I could say that for some time I have felt in my spirit the need to pray and something was afoot

I mean I could say that, but someone would say it wasn't true :cautious:

and for that matter, my husband could have said for some time we need to prepare 'just in case'

so just because we are prepared I guess that means to some we have no faith

I am more suspicious than that. it was more like 'smoke and mirrors' :sneaky:

Supply will be reduced we will not run out unless go into major catastrophe mode where people are dropping like flies... not likely though this virus is not EBola which kills about 50 %,
The workers will be given protective masks and such to keep working.

My message is simple, highly transmissible virus, the health care system is not going to be able to deal with large numbers of ill people. the spread needs to be slowed down so that it can be managed.

If the the health care system is over run more people will die than those with the virus

This is all preventable with good hygiene, do not touch your face (most people touch their face at least 1000 times in a day) and keep a good distance.

so people who have prayed and been impressed by the Holy Spirit to prepare are what then?

oh wait!

God musta wanted us to know

what if I told you He often will tell ahead what will happen?

I guess it must depend on a person's level of faith then

yeah

probably so

I am sorry.. I cannot relate to your point of view.
Scripture is clear we need to be prepared

And yes it is a very realistic picture given the numbers.. the virus is real and the agenda behind the virus is real and needing to wake up is real

true story here of how God ... how many different ways God can speak to a person

so in a time when I was a little off my desire to pray, I would come across these little signs that an old man is painting and spreading around the town of Ocala. I don't live there, but have occasion to go there often enough

the signs said simply:

PRAY

and they would hit me right between the eyes

yeah

God can absolutely make a way to speak even when you do not want to hear it

that is, if your heart is really His and He knows you do not really want to not know Him

and He is serious about that

pray

I have never once stated it is time to worry... I have only stated be prepared as much as possible for yourself and your family.

I think I have given myself a headache... maybe that new truckload of TP from Amazon has arrived....let me go check... need to keep my inventory up to date right? @dcontroversal
