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

Was it something in particular you knew about or just a general prayer?

well make up your mind

first of all it's all guff

then you quote from Revelation

what are we snapping out of?

non preparedness?

Jesus asked the disciples to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane ( spelling?)

and He found them sleeping when He came back from His own prayers to check on them

and we also have the parable of the 10 virgins

so while no one has told anyone to worry and someone else would like to suggest there is nothing but fear mongering going on in caution, it seems God may be raising an eyebrow and saying to those folks 'oh really?' that is just what they said to the prophets I sent them

so while there may be no prophets in this thread, we can follow their advice because they still speak

I just didn't have the right attitude for someone who knows as much as I do

long story and not gonna tell it ;)

I will say this though...cause its true

some years back, I had a situation developing and I did not pay enough attention. it ended very badly

I honestly 'heard' this thought in my mind 'if you had prayed....'

Ha, if we don't snap out of this ''everybody go home until we think it's safe for you to come out and play'' .. It's the whole economy we're putting in the hands of fools lies ..

I'm not sure I answered your question?

it was actually an impression that the need for prayer was personal and more

if that makes sense?

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

Eleventhour, you are loved dearly by God and He is watching over everything that concerns you. :love:(y)

No need to apologize for not relating to what you think is my point of view. I'm simply reminding everyone to NOT FEAR. Go ahead, prepare all you want just, do it without fear.

God loves us, we know our days are numbered, so no need to fear a "coronavirus" or even death.

Let's just "walk through the valley of the shadow of death and NOT FEAR any evil."

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

Sometimes my wife will say something making me think something's wrong and I go into my ''step aside I'll fix it mode'' when I didn't even hear what she said to begin with

We are reducing inventories as we speak, what are your plans when we run out ? How long can we shut down and not produce sitting around while waiting to get sick ..

if you were paying attention, the less contact with others should reduce the effectiveness of the contagion and thereby shorten its life, leading to 'business as usual' until the business as usual does not work anymore

how many warnings until people actually develop the capacity to pay attention?

I mean Christians

the world without Christ is already lost

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.

the shocker for me was the sheer amount of deaths from the other 79 known contagious diseases since January 2.7 million a staggering number across the world. how does the world handle these deaths.
the concern over the virus is rather it will be the normal like the other 79 diseases or not. and it looks like it will be the normal.

but yesterday I think the first trail vaccine was given to a person, so it won’t be long and the virus will have a vaccine.
