It’s good to store up as much as you can when there’s lots of blessing going on 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 for we never know when the world will be in the grip of a huge pestilence. What’s happening now isn’t a famine or a pestilence, but a plague that has unfortunately decimated the earth, and humanity is reeling like crazy because of it. Well, you already know that the plague is the coronavirus, and as it turns out, it’s not a Chinese name but a Latin name for “king of the viruses.” Yep. You read this right. Jesus did predict this would happen, though (Luke 21:11), as well as other plagues and famines, not to mention many earthquakes (Matthew 24:7). All this is the beginning of birth pangs (Matthew 24:8). But thank God that Joseph had already found a wife and father two boys beforehand 👨👩👦👦 I wish I could do the same in this life, but I don’t know if I’ll even survive the next shift I clock into, for violence might happen due to my witness for Jesus, but I know it won’t be my fault if that happens. I can’t take this life for granted, can I? By the way, this passage is found in page 25 of my NKJV Bible, pages 32-33 of my NASB Bible, pages 55-56 of my VOICE copy, and page 54 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I was talking with my best friend since Jesus (that is, Sarah), and I realize I really miss traveling to awesome places near and far, which is obvious to some of you, but for those just joining me, you might be a little surprised to learn that I’ve always wanted to go places. I think it’s our innate desire (this is because of the Holy Spirit’s design) for us to explore the entire earth, and even observe the universe to some extent. I’ve always wished I could get paid for being myself in literally any corner of the world, but I think this blog is pretty cool, yet I won’t try and put this site for sale, for I don’t want to charge anyone the word of Jesus. Indeed, it’s free! Too bad many people are interested in their own pursuits… but I bet if more people heard the word of Jesus about repentance and forgiveness, there wouldn’t be so much hypocrisy and injustice in this world. That’s why I’ve been praying so much for God to make me able to communicate the Gospel to unreached places across the earth. Of course, you can Google translate this post, but I don’t know how to tell you in a language like one in Sumatra or central India. But I pray for the Balinese to have revivals and revelations like crazy! Indeed, the Holy Spirit is strong in Hillsong Bali, where my friend, Alex, goes. (She’s a travel blogger who is pretty lucrative in this. Fun fact: I once had math class with her!)
Anyway, sorry that I went off-topic again… but the coronavirus has killed many businesses, plundered the economies across the world, and is just adding insult to injury about the world running out of resources. This has to be Satan’s most diabolical scheme yet (with sending a bunch of spies to the churches), but I believe the Holy Spirit will win against him eventually. Still, humanity will never be the same. But we need to look into the unseen and discover Jesus, who, while concealing many things (for it is the glory of God to conceal a matter; see Proverbs 25:2), invites everyone to seek Him out. Unfortunately, though, many believe that He is violent, aggressive, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, you name it — in other words, they believe He is a right-wing conservative! That’s simply NOT biblical! We can love the homosexuals so they can receive God’s love and forgiveness, for they have lots of potential. Too bad many churchgoers won’t let us do that, but I thank God I go to a church that doesn’t promote this nonsense. I do pray this doesn’t take over my church, too. But even so, I want to watch Elevation and Hillsong services more often. And here’s something else: if you’re looking for entertainment about statistics concerning those who have died from the coronavirus, you’ve actually crossed the line. That’s what the Holy Spirit told Steven Furtick in his I’m Still Scared video. At least, that’s how I see it… many people tell me it’ll be as though the coronavirus thing never happened, but even with New Jerusalem being established in the future, I can’t say we’re at our wit’s end right now. Indeed, China got a second wind about it, I heard. And people are saying it’s not even happening, but look around you: restaurants and stores literally boarded up across the world, lockdowns, people arresting those who go outside… it’s like in the end of Avengers: Infinity War when Thanos snapped his fingers and half of everything in the universe disappeared. The world reeled in the aftermath for several years! And the Hulk didn’t manage to retrieve the Infinity stones and snap everyone back until five years had passed. (If you know Avengers: Endgame, you’ll know what I’m talking about.) Still, this is a good time for me to spread the witness of Christ as much as I can, as I’ve already said, so that’s why I’m mentioning this to you, for this is similar to the famine that had gripped the entire world after Joseph had fathered Manasseh and Ephraim. But this will go away; I just can’t guarantee blessing will be even remotely abundant in the future.
Any prayer requests? Drop them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! I’ll see you in chapter 42, where we cover Jacob and his family traveling to Egypt to get food. Sayonara!
