I Prayed have prayed
Lord God, You are victorious over every disease. You are Jehovah-Rapha, our healer. We ask You to flood our nation with physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

“It just seems like the goalposts keep moving and some of these policies don’t seem tied to science,” says Greenhut. “I mean, we ought to treat coronavirus seriously, but just to try to shutdown society without considering the impact on people who are trying to feed themselves and earn a living, it seems crazy.”

“It’s pretty extreme,” says Steven Greenhut, a Sacramento-area resident working for R Street Institute. “You’re basically a prisoner in your own home, and you need to be able to prove if you’re out that you’re involved in some sort of ‘essential’ service.”

Last month, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-California) announced a curfew for most Californians between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m.

“It just seems like the goalposts keep moving and some of these policies don’t seem tied to science,” says Greenhut. “I mean, we ought to treat coronavirus seriously, but just to try to shutdown society without considering the impact on people who are trying to feed themselves and earn a living, it seems crazy.” . . .

Newsom has more recently announced that most of the state will come under a strict set of limitations, the idea being to help hospitals from being overrun by COVID-19 patients.

Still, the California governor certainly hasn’t helped himself after being photographed last month at a large restaurant dinner party and ignoring his own rules.

Meanwhile, the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, has taken his own measures to ban most unnecessary walks and motor vehicle trips.

“It’s good to get out,” says Greenhut. “I have no problem with having some guidelines – social distancing, masking, etcetera – and whatever it is you’re doing, you follow those guidelines.”

But Greenhut maintains “people are just pretty much ignoring these things” at this point. “I think if you go too far in your edicts that people just get fed up and don’t pay attention,” he concludes.

All I can say is…. Socialism and Communism on it’s way folks! It’s already here. I don’t care what the Gov. says… I am standing by the Constitution , it is born and bred in me. And I will not be silenced or shut up! I will however stand up , and speak up, and God will determine my silence and when i should ”Be Still”.. Stand strong Brothers and Sisters in Christ, they are trying to break us… Stand Firm!

Father God, we know you are with us and you need us to be your strongest soldiers and we will stand for and with you. Protect your Children Lord and keep a Hedge of protection around us as we stand firm on your word and Praise and trust you until the end.

I live in Phoenix AZ in a high rise. There has been a lot of upheaval here because of some pretty extreme construction, which makes the atmosphere a bit tense. Arizona isn’t super strict with the mask wearing but you do have to wear them in public places. Here in our building it is not mandated that we have to wear masks it more of a suggestion, we go down to do our laundry, check the mail, take the trash, ect. We have encountered several that are so rude if you are not wearing a mask, even not allowing us on the elevator. We went to an event at a church last night, at our church no one wears masks and no social distance, but this church was so strict on the “rules” even seating people 3 rows back because of the singing. I don’t want anyone to get sick, obviously. But in church?? How are we preaching/teaching about Jesus the healer? The Blood of Jesus? Miracles, signs and wonders?? I am SO over this! Praying God will unmask us and unmask the truth about what this really is about and that the blinders would come off also. Lord help us!

I believe that people just need to strive to be healthy. Do like we’ve always have. Stay home if your sick, wash your hands often. Use wisdom in whatever we do. I believe Our God is bigger than this virus. God still heals today. The main medical people don’t want the doctors to use what cures people who have the virus. They even can give medicine that will prevent them from getting it, but Big Phama wants us to take the vaccine so that they can get rich and also the vaccines could be dangerous from the information we are receiving.

There is a third recall movement to recall Gavin Newsom as governor, for CA residents. It runs from early June 2020 through mid-March 2021. You can download, sign and snail mail it starting at http://www.recallgavin2020.com, and forward to others! So far there are about 800,000 signatures and they need about 800,000 more. They also need $5-10k donations for radio advertisements and volunteers.

This COVID-19 bs has far surpassed the limits of credibility. I seriously question what we’re being told.

First, how accurate are the tests? I heard a story where a health care worker submitted ten blank swabs for COVID testing. All came back positive.

It is a fact that prolonged mask wearing can have harmful effects such as excess toxicity and mental degeneration. But they won’t tell you that, will they?

Are these unreasonable restrictions actually a test to see how the population would respond to martial law? They certainly are intended to collapse the American economy to make people satisfied with less. As our President stated, “The cure should not be worse than the disease.”

The “frightening” numbers of infections and deaths reported every day are suspect. How accurate are these tests and how many deaths resulted from an existing condition aggravated by COVID?

Is COVID no worse than an unusually severe flu? How come such unreasonable enforcement is not implemented during a bad flu season? How come we’ve never heard of flu infection or death numbers until now? Is this a prelude to the Great Reset?

Are we being played like a fiddle, people? Is fear the incentive for us to behave like good little children and obey Big Brother? Maybe it’s time for us to exercise our rights under the Constitution and the law, and engage in a little healthy civil disobedience. I certainly will.

    You are so correct with these questions! We live in California and a local sheriff has said they will not enforce curfew. Many people recognize the foolishness and are disgusted with the fear mongering. There was a great freedom rally at Huntington Beach a few days ago. Hopefully, the recall effort underway will soon cause the governor to be removed from office

    The definition of “cases” was changed. It used to mean someone who had symptoms and was actually sick with the disease. Now it is just anyone who tests positive, even though they may have NO symptoms. There have been some people who had an appointment to get tested and then had to cancel. Nevertheless, they received letters they tested positive.

    The people who designed the test never intended for it to be used as a diagnostic tool for illness. It was simply meant to be used in a lab to identify the type of virus.

    Father God,
    Please deliver us from those who are causing such suffering to many people because of suicides, addictions, destruction of businesses, and lack of medical care for other health issues. Magnify the voice of the Spirit of Truth and silence all deceivers. Remove all power from those who have evil motives. We ask Jesus to rule and reign over us through the leaders He chooses. In the name of King Jesus who has been given all authority in Heaven and Earth. Amen.

      Thank you for your uplifting reply, Rochelle.

      If only the People would understand that the government is supposed to work for us, We the People, not vice versa.

      If only people would rise up en masse and demand an end to this hypocrisy, holding each elected official accountable for his/her actions.

      If only we would become more outraged than scared. . .

We should be in control of our own health as we always have been. As individuals we decide who we visit, if we want to stay away from sick people, large crowds. I am sick of all the narrative following especially in the medical community. We should be able to make our voices heard loud and clear demanding therapeutics that work for treatment and prevention – if we so choose to use them they should be made available. The withholding of them tells us all we need to know. Only God can help with the despair I feel over this crime against humanity. Thank God for Frontline doctors willing to see us via telemed and prescribe meds we need. Visit is only $90, meds around $50.

The church leadership is the root of the problem. They were fine with things as long as government wasn’t on their turf. But now that their toes are getting stepped on we hear the whining starting. Where were you “leaders” before the societal rot began to effect you?? A few have stood up, but most are standing down. If the church is to rule and reign on this earth we need to do as Ross Perot said, “ It’s time to get out the shovel and clean out the barn!”. How many of your pastors are willing to unite with all the other churches in California and elsewhere to form a United front on this? How many pastors are will to go to jail to preserve our Christian liberties?….and how many congregations will follow them? The fault lies not just with our political leaders but weighs much more heavily on our spiritual leadership.

    I totally agree with you. It appears the Church has been silent through most of the crisis that have happened. It was silent even during Roe V Wade back in 1973 and now is still silent through the recent happenings. I believe we need an uprising of young Christian leaders who can relate to these Millenials and Gen Z’s. I personally have tried to make my Church aware of what is going on but sometimes it seems to fall on deaf ears unfortunately.

    Joseph I totally agree with you! The purpose of Freedom Sunday was for the resistant church to encourage all churches to operate without fear, completely open on 10/25. They later
    realized the date corresponded to Hebrews 10/25
    “Not giving up meeting together…”. Amazing testimonies were shared by a handful of brave pastors.
    Since Sunday after election I cannot go back to the church I was visiting. The pastor insisted everyone join him in praying for our new President and his cabinet. Biden was not our president then nor do I believe he will ever be. My President Donald J Trump is the one we should be praying for – before, during and after the election, for the next four years, forever
    giving thanks to God for his passion and love for America and his willingness to lead the fight in this war against us. November 3 2020 was not an election night it was a war. I didn’t hear anything in
    Church, no mention of all we faced, was not led to pray for what was at stake. Thankfully I heard about a pastor who instructs his fellowship of believers. Once hearing his pre-election Sunday message I will continue to be led by Jack Hibbs, while hoping and praying to find a local church that’s willing to be fearless in these scary times.
    Here is his powerful pre-election message:
    https://youtu.be/KGeemeiw4S8
    Last Sunday during his message Pastor Hibbs played a video of a sheriff explaining why his department is not enforcing the mandates. By his example sheriffs in other counties are making the same decision. Praise the Lord.

      Cathy you are right. I left a church because they religiously vote demoncrat & bash President Trump. How dumb of the pastor to pray for a fake news media candidate. Yes you were right to leave. If I want a Christian perspective I listen to Jack Hibbs. I told him that he has a spine like President Trump. I love his passion for God & the truth. Check out his WHY for Dec 9th. Very good.

You know the mainstream media is lying when their lips are moving.

The plans the deep state has plotted in secret will be suddenly “struck down” – a judicial term. (Psalm 65) God will turn their own tongues against them. Through affidavits? Through testimonies under oath? Time will tell.

Let God arise and his enemies be scattered!

Completely fed up with the lie. It was all contrived to dominate, control and destroy us, by guess who? Big Tech, Democrats, Soros, China, Rhinos and the corrupt media. It was predominantly done to allow unprecedented fraud in our election. People have died, but it is not deadlier than the flu. The numbers are being falsely inflated to spread fear and make people compliant. Masks and social distancing is just more idiocy, and against our civil liberties. I understand if someone has a medical reason to wear them, but not the mandates that everyone must. Fed up with the sheeple who blindly follow along. Crime is rapidly rising with no way to identify them wearing hoodies and masks in broad daylight. Praying constantly for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven!

While I appreciate his acknowledgment that things are out of control, Greenhut himself is giving far too much credit to the disease, and far too little acknowledgement of the tyranny in flagrant violation of the law, when he says he’s fine with masks and social distancing.

Covid is nothing but a way for them to control people. The number are lies amd so are all the media says . All if a sudden they forget there are any other illness. Flu caused more death and so is suicide. If they stopped talking about it the sheeple caught in the trap would get back to life. We need to pray to stop the media and Governor agenda that are ruining our freedom amd nation

Newsom does NOT operate under the guidelines of science based facts. He uses science rhetoric to push his political power agenda.
People of CA and for that fact… the USA. This is about the power and control of a nation to lay solid groundwork for a one world government. Newsom is a chess piece in this game birthed by hell. CA has rightly been referred to as the “center of entertainment”. With entertainment comes much distraction. Distraction pulls us away from God and his ways. (just 1 of many ways that the enemy uses).
If the people of CA are really fed up and I think they are, then pray continually for these godless leaders to have a change of heart and/or to be removed from their position(s). Then take non-stop actions to get people together and do it.
Voting other people in is “a start” but there has to be more. There has to be a wholesale overhaul of the legislative system. The people sat on the sidelines and we’re not involved in the day to day functions of their government – now the inmates are running the asylum and they are armed and will do everything to hold that ground. God is asking the question “what are you prepared to do”?

I believe that the entire COVID-19 virus has been very inflated; the numbers seem to be higher and inflated than they are in reality. Yes, I have become sort of fed up with it also. It just seems they are not telling the whole truth about this and that COVID is being used by the government to advance their agendas and to be controlling. Yes, I think there needs to be some restrictions and the virus must be taken seriously, but at the same time people need to continue to live their lives and not be locked down constantly.

    You’re right. They are overinflating the numbers for political and power and control purposes.
    Any Positive tests are “another case” added to their war chest. Doesn’t mean someone is going to die. They could test everyone for the flu or a common cold and many people at any given time of the year would come back positive.
    While they like to push the “science”, they are pawns of hell pushing the fear in order to further government overreach.

our economy has suffered, our children have suffered, our country has and continues to suffer. Where are our Moses to confront these unfeeling, compassionless evil doing leaders with let my people go??? These lockdowns and unconnected proclamations must be taken downl they truly are worse than the disease. Doctors can be more open about their prescribing the less invasive and more effective remedies(like for Pres. Trump) than hospitalizations, Their offices have more open doors to see patients and Vitamin companies offer free shipping on all their immune supplement pills.

I’m sick of the fraud – i agree there are things we need to do to keep safe but the draconian measures being dictated to Californians is stripping us of all of our freedoms we are supposed to enjoy – unfortunately people are so willing to give up their freedoms (thanks fake media). Once government takes something away it almost never comes back and that includes our economy here in CA – businesses are being destroyed, homes ruined and lives destroyed we should be working towards a herd immunity – keeping us apart from one another just makes us more susceptible to every disease known to man we will have no immune system if the gov gets his way – we must fight back for our freedom and the future freedom of CA.

I am sure that much if this “lockdown” is illegal as far as our constitutional rights are concerned, and even our state civil rights are being violated. To many just give in and accept in the name of fear. Lord, we stand united first in You! Help us stand united against this tyranny and evil that is attempting to over throw what You have created. These United States! We are confident that You are in control, that you are working all things out according to Your good will and purpose. Increase our faith, wake us up to this spiritual battle unite Your bride to pray and stand up for Truth and Justice! Strengthen our leaders, change hearts, Lord do as only You can do! In your Mighty Name, amen
