I Prayed have prayed
Lord, make us ready. Prepare our hearts spiritually. Help us to be alert and sober-minded. Let us be mindful of the authority we carry in Your name. As long as You are with us, we have no reason to fear.
Reading Time: 8 minutes

Have you heard? We’re being warned about a new strain of the COVID virus. It’s called EG.5 — or Eris. So much information about the origin of the virus is public knowledge now. Some suffered injuries due to the vaccines. The masks did nothing to slow the spread. Yet, here we are three years later, being “prepared” as if we’d been given any truth the first time around. We must be vigilant. 

What’s in a Name?

When I saw the new strain of COVID trending, something caught my eye. The name is “Eris.” Most Christians understand that names can have prophetic meanings. Eris is the Greek goddess of strife, and her Roman equivalent is Discordia. She stands for chaos, contention, rivalry, and war. Thus, her name means strife and discord. I don’t think the name choice of this strand was accidental. Do you? 

Learning From Our Mistakes

I write this as a warning to all believers. We must not fall into the patterns of 2020. COVID happened, and we cannot say it didn’t. Many people lost loved ones to this terrible virus. People were paralyzed by fear, churches shut their doors, store shelves were empty, and businesses suffered greatly. People were hurting, depressed, and frantic, but the worst part was the divisiveness. Not only was the nation divided, but so was the Church. The vaccinated villainized the unvaccinated, and sometimes vice versa. Those who wore masks called out those who did not, and vice versa. Those churches that followed the mandates and shut their doors took flack from some Christians, while churches that kept their doors open came under fire from others. It was a huge mess. The Church should have been focusing on the spiritual wickedness behind the virus and on helping each other, but instead, we turned on each other. 

A Deadly Duo

Discord and strife are a one-two punch that works together. Discord is simply a lack of agreement or harmony. It happens when someone intentionally stirs up trouble to divide, either by words or actions. The sole purpose is to sow distrust. Once the seeds have been sown, since there is no longer agreement, suspicion, arguments, and fights soon follow. Strife is defined as conflict, quarreling, disagreements, and opposition. These things are often unavoidable, especially since sincere believers have different opinions on matters like our faith, politics, and everything in between. We should be able to handle our differences with wisdom. The Bible has a lot to say about both and how we believers should handle it.

Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19–21).

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses (Proverbs 10:12 AMP).

Avoiding a fight is a mark of honor; only fools insist on quarreling (Proverbs 20:3 NLT).

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger and patient calms disputes (Proverbs 15:18 AMP).

For lack of wood, the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer [who gossips], contention quiets down (Proverbs 26:20 AMPC).

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers (Proverbs 6:6–19).

Yes, you read that right: The Lord hates one who sows discord, one who intentionally seeks to cause separation. If you want to learn more, I recommend reading through the book of Proverbs.

Will This Be a Repeat, or a Second Chance?

Like it or not, the virus is coming. What will we as the Church do? If the virus is here, then it could mean another vaccine is in the works or on the way. Some colleges have already instituted mask mandates. Will they try to shut the churches, and the world? We can expect those who don’t know Jesus to be filled with fear, to act out, and to attack people. We Christians can do better. The following passage from 2 Timothy describes the character we should aim to have concerning quarrels.

Again, I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.

Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth.

Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants (2 Timothy 2:23–26 NLT).

We are to have nothing to do with foolish arguments. It’s wise to avoid this altogether if there is nothing to be gained from it. Christians, we must not be the ones picking worthless fights or reacting foolishly! We must be kind and patient with difficult people. Kindness and patience are both fruits of the Spirit, whereas quarreling and strife are works of the flesh.

When we are so desperate to prove we are right, instead of being determined to obey the word of God, we come off as rude and even un-Christian. When we speak according to the word of God, with His Spirit’s leading, the result is that they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap.” Isn’t this what God wants for all mankind? Yes it is, and He expects us to do the work. If this is how God expects us to treat those who do not know Jesus, then how much more does He want us to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ this way? Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! (Psalm 133:1).

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry (James 1:19 NLT).

The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: Love your neighbor as yourself. But if you keep on biting and devouring one another, watch out, or you will be consumed by one another (Galatians 5:14–15 BSB). 

All of these commands are possible through the power of Christ that is at work within us. After all, the Bible says we can do all things through him who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). We can obey. We can love those with whom we disagree. We can honor the Lord with our thoughts and our words. It begins with asking Jesus to make us willing to obey Him, to speak (and to post) wholesome words, to love our neighbor, and to ask Him to show us where we might be unwittingly “biting and devouring one another.”

The Bible teaches only one time in which division may be an option: when someone in the Church seeks to separate Christians with false doctrine (see Romans 16:17). The word of God is worth defending. If someone, whether Christian or not, is wearing a mask, is that worth quarreling over? Ask yourself: Will a believer who loves Jesus and chooses to wear a mask (or not to wear one) be kept out of heaven for that? It sounds silly, doesn’t it? But we did make a huge deal out of it. Whether someone is or isn’t vaccinated is no reason to start an argument. No Spirit-filled believer who loves Jesus and prayerfully made a decision to get vaccinated is God’s enemy or yours — and you are not their judge. Let’s not waste our time nitpicking over insignificant things.

We can do better. We can choose to move in a spirit different from the world: the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are in the world, but not of it. We can learn from our errors and stand our ground in faith.

Prayer Strategy

I believe the name of this new COVID strain reveals the spirit seeking to be manifest through it: discord and strife. Let’s pray the opposite of this spirit. The opposite of discord is agreement. The Bible tells us that there is power when we pray in agreement, and that Jesus is with us (see Matthew 18:20). The opposite of strife is harmony, which also means agreement, accord, and being in tune. As Psalm 133:1 says: … how good and pleasant is it when God’s people live together in unity — and some translations have replaced the word unity with the word harmony. Though they are not the same thing, they are nevertheless connected. If we can have harmony in our relationships, we are one step closer to achieving biblical unity. If you are ready to pray about this virus, let’s agree together now:

Father, we humbly come before You and ask for Your help in this matter. We praise You for revealing the truth about the origins of the original virus, and we pray that You would do the same with Eris. We appeal to You for justice in this matter. We pray for Your Church to rise with boldness, to confront evil, and to remember that we are not warring against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness. Align our spirits with Your Holy Spirit, so that we would not be led into strife with one another. Cleanse Your Church from pride and from the “knowledge” that puffs up, and let us humbly return to speaking the truth in love. In Jesus’ name, we come against and bind the spirit of strife that is seeking entrance among us through this virus. We give that no place in our lives, conversations, or relationships. We bind the spirit of discord that is attempting to divide Christians. We pray that any media outlets being used to fill people’s hearts with fear will be rendered ineffective. Let all lying lips be silenced in Your presence. Let every seed of discord sown by the media be fruitless and die. We praise You that no weapon formed against us will ever prosper. No spiritual, physical, or bioengineered weapon will ever prosper. You said it, and we believe it. Take what the Enemy means for evil, and turn it around for good. Where he is using strife and discord to divide the Church, let us instead move ahead as one. Bind us together in love and in the bonds of peace. 

We loose the power of agreement according to Your word that says, “Where two or three are gathered, I am there in the midst.” We thank You that when we are gathered together in Your name, You can do what we cannot. Help us to be defenders of biblical truth, and guard our hearts against engaging in foolish quarrels. Help us to use every opportunity to teach others Your way. Help us to be patient with difficult people, because we can be difficult too. We pray for a great harvest to come forth during another crisis. Fill us with Your Spirit of wisdom, and let our speech be filled with grace and seasoned with salt, so that we may know how to answer every man. Help us to use this virus, and every opportunity, as a teachable moment. We pray that the blinders would be removed from the eyes of the people held captive by the devil. As we speak Your truth, may people be freed from the devil’s traps and may their souls be won. We were saved for that very reason: to bring others to You. 

Finally, saints, in the encouraging words of Scripture:

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen (Ephesians 3:20–21).

If you wait for prayer to save the world , you better brace yourself for disappointment. People have done for centuries and prayed for this and that and died. God does not care, if he did and was all powerful he could end this suffering. So either he does not care or does not exist. Also , couldn’t he have come up with a better to save people than kill his son. If you or I did that we’d be put in an assylum

Father, we love You and need You.
You alone are Holy.
You are our shelter and our strength. We cannot protect ourselves, so Father, spread Your wings around us and protect us from the plans of the enemy.
God, I ask that you would remove the veil of deception that is covering our world. Give discernment to those in Your church who have lacked it for the past several years. Open their eyes Father, let them see the spiritual war waging around us.
Do not let Your people be overtaken with fear, but let us overcome fear by Your Word and by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
Fill us up daily Lord and pour us out.
May Your words always be on our hearts, on our minds and on our lips. Let us speak the truth, about all things, to those around us, and may we see many turn from their sins and come to put their faith in Christ over the coming days.
Lord, let us be ready for Your return, and until You do come again, send us out to preach the Gospel.
Lord, we will go.
We ask all these things in the name of our Conqueror, our Victor and our precious Savior, Jesus.
To Him alone belongs glory, and honor and blessings forever.
Amen.

Remember we who believe are fighting from Victory! May the all continuously pray in the realm of the spirit, in Word, in Deed and thought in Jesus name.

May the presence of God be upon the children of God in Power and Agreement with us as He stood with Moses, so shall God be with us releasing His Power and Favor over our lives as we confess His Word as he did with Elijah.

It’s not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says, the LORD of Hosts!

May this and God’s grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be upon us all.

LOVE the article! We do need to distinguish between acting in Strife & Discord vs. speaking the Truth in Love while exposing evil for what it is like Ephesians 5:11 says…this includes speaking up about the lies and truth of COVID, masks, vaccines, and the evil ppl behind the ultimate agenda.

The names of the first two “waves” of COVID resonate with the first two horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first named “Corona” means “crown.” The second, Eris (Greek or Discordia Roman) means “discord,” which is an absence of peace. Look at Rev 6:2-4 ESV:

“…a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

“When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.”

I can’t help but question: Did we miss the opening of the first seal? Are we looking at the second seal being opened?

The author of this article is right. There are no coincidences with names.

Excellent article! Timing is great but… Please clarify your following reference;
The Bible teaches only one time in which division may be an option: when someone in the Church seeks to separate Christians with false doctrine (see Romans 16:7).

Romans 16:7 doesn’t refer to false doctrine in any way.

    That must have been a typo, as Romans 16:17 describes that, but there are also two other references in 1st and 2nd Timothy that describe instances where we are told to avoid persons (whether believers or not) who cause strife, division, or arguments, also inferring that we shouldn’t do that ourselves, either!

If we look at the VARS reports, more people have died from the COVID vaccine than COVID itself. This is fact, although all the reports may not still be able to be viewed, In a 2010 Ted Talk Bill Gates stated, ” The world has 6,8 billion people…headed to up to 9 billion. Now if we do a great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by 10 or 15 percent.”Reuters “fact checkers” further explained, “vaccinations can reduce unsustainable population growth.” We as Christians need to be Very, Very Wise. We have been hearing of another “pandemic” for over a year now, Where is this coming from? A WHO treaty is being spoken of, to which health care will be implemented: travel, water,food etc. will be controlled. Mr. Gates is one of, if not the largest contributors to WHO, giving billions. Reports are surfacing that “digitals chips” are in the workings. Buying, selling, banking will be accessed through the “digital chip” in the right hand or forehead. (Revelation 13:16, 17; 666) Does this all fit together? Will this New vaccine make changes in our body, as the first COVID vaccine did? As the Temple of God, is this the right thing to do, knowing we have more knowledge than previously? Will it not be easier to receive the “chip” from the government if we have already trusted them with their vaccine? Let’s not be deceived. This IS Control!

Yes, here we go again along with the other atrocities that are happening in our country. The Church still stands in spite of mask/no mask separations. But, God has given a mandate to His Body on how to handle every situation. We are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. How can we be effective when we are fighting among ourselves. The Church is going to be the first to be judged. This should make us stop and think for a moment. We are not to act as the world does nor seek the world for answers. All of this is spiritual and the world doesn’t get it because all that the world has to offer is the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. We are under a different Commander in Chief and He is the Supreme Court and Judge. Our God is Sovereign over ALL. This includes Covid or whatever. Our God reigns supreme and there is nothing that can outdo Him. Our problem? We are still looking to man for solutions to our problems. Can’t happen.
Let God be God and have His way. He always wins. Praise the Lord! Bless His Holy Name! Hallelujah!

Seasonal flu, viruses, RSV, and the common cold have been associated with fall and winter for generations. now COVID. Keep your covenant with God and know your covenant rights. Speak the WORD of God which is both spoken and a person, the divine Savior we know as Jesus Christ, who triumphed over ALL principalities and powers both innthe heavens and on earth, including covid and every other disease and person or thing that tries to exalt itself above Him. Exalt the WORD, the promises, the divine facts, don’t lend your tongue to divination for the enemy’s camp dooming and glooming more covid captivity over us. Wake up church.

NKJV Proverbs 16:10 Divination is on the lips of the king; His mouth must not transgress in judgment.

New American Standard Bible version: A divine verdict is on the lips of the king; His mouth should not err in judgment.
Deuteronomy 32:39 (God speaking): See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”

    I decided several years ago to get radical with the WORD of God and my covenant rights. God (through His unfailing faithfulness and word) has delivered me right in the middle of several heart attacks without ANY outside medical intervention. I am 63 and onnzero medications, 100% relying onnGod and His word. I have felt the chest tightening and sharp pains several times on different occasions, different times and places, at work, driving, at home, in bed. I learned to stand on his covenant and his word. In the midst of chest pains I cry out like Jehosaphat did. We are in a war. Was it years of cholesteral or was it the enemy coming to lie, kill, or destroy me, who knows, who cares, all I focus on is Christ crucified, Christ triumphant over ALL, every enemy, he is sovereign over ALL, my body, my aches and pains, my life, my days, every breath I take. He is a very present help in time of need. I know i havent fulfilled all his will for my life yet, i know the enemy wants to wipe me out before i can finish my course, but i know greater is HE that is WITHIN Me who said “See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.” Learn His word and rely on His unfailing faithfulness. Know your COVENANT rights and responsibilities, and live like it. God isn’t just up in heaven. He us WITH us and IN us, a very present help in time of need. A close relative has been battling depression and other mental illness, he did seek medical intervention, in spite of the psyochotropic meds he tried overdosing on bloopressure meds, as soon as he swallowed the contents of half a bottle, he regretted it and cried out to God. He had an immediate bowel movement and passed every pill intact. He saw them in the toilet! That is medically impossible BUT with God nothing is impossible.
    His wife took him to emergency and as we already knew, there was no trace of an overdose. He has been under doctor’s care for over 10 years on drugs for mental illness, yet God intervened for Him as well Because God keeps His word and covenants… God is a VERY PRESENT HELP IN TIME OF NEED. we are all waiting for the day when this young man receives full divine healing and no longer takes any medications. Church, the promises! The Savior! His faithfulness! I could tell you many true stories of God’s divine interventions physically, financially, and spiritually for me not because i deserve it, i am the least, but i have saturated myself in his word and i do my best to stand on it during every trial. Sharing those testimonies won’t help you as much as you spending time with Him and IN the word where He will strengthen your heart and train your fingers to war and your hands for triumphant battle. Know the word, know the Savior, know your covenant rights and your covenant keeper. GOD BLESS.

First of all there is NO virus!!
Never was!!
This ‘fake virus’ was used in the beginning to ‘scare, fear, frighten and terrify us to take their poisonous bioweapon! ..
That was the main agenda of the ‘covid virus’!
It was to get a shot in EVERY man woman and child in the world!!..

We should be praying against these evil entities that are, and have been pushing this psyops on the vulnerable people for the past 3 years!
We also should pray for those that fall for this and do not realize they are being lied to and deceived!! ..
We need to awaken their eyes to the evil that is all around us!..

Let us use our authority in rebuking this tattic and wake up to prayer as a first step in stopping the enemy. Help us to be fearless and listen for your voice of guidance. Help us to encourage the weak I. Faith to be Resilient. In Jesus name . Amen

Thanks for the revelation. My prayer is the church will be fearless this time and not engage in miscellaneous arguments about whether to get vaccinated or not. Everyone of us has a different measure of faith given to us by God Himself. May the wind of the fire of the Holy Spirit unlike the wind of fire in Hawaii insulate the children of God from this virus as God did in Goshen in Jesus powerful and mighty name Amen

Blessings Dave Kubal,
Dr. Avery Jackson was on Flashpoint tonight, August 24th. He had much to say about this latest ploy. He said that this is nothing to worry about and that wearing masks are bad for your health! The program was VERY informative and suggest you watch it. And by the way, I always enjoy, when you Dave, are a guest on Flashpoint!

“The vaccinated villainized the unvaccinated, and sometimes vice versa. Those who wore masks called out those who did not, and vice versa.”
This is an exact copy of what Gloria wrote, so I am amazed at the accusations in the comments that she said anything else, or that it was one-sided. Vice versa means that the vilifying was from both sides toward the other. The diatribe went both ways!! When we are hurt, it is so easy to take offense – sometimes at things that are not even there or at things we misunderstand. If you have ever heard, “That got my goat!!”, then you’ll understand what I encourage us to do – Make your goat ungettable!!! That is a common reminder between my husband and I. There is such a thing as “righteous anger”, but much of what I see in myself and others is not righteous, and I repent of that and repent on behalf of the body of Christ.
In our family, we came down on different sides of the question in regard to how to respond to vaccine and mask mandates – but we did not vilify one another or disrespect each other. We recognized that it was a personal choice, and honestly that is all I want – to have personal choice and not government mandates and fear-mongering. Sadly my son lost his job partly because of his choice, and may have difficulty finding another as a result of what may be coming again. That was not right for anyone, and my heart goes out to all who suffered as a result.
LORD, I reread Gloria’s prayer and stand in full agreement with it.

    She changed the wording. The first edition spent several sentences blaming the unvaccinated for shaming the vaccinated. It seems the strong reaction in the comments led her to reword it. I agree there is no point (certainly not for a believer in Jesus) to live in offense and to vilify another, but the way it was originally worded was very poor, and not at all in line with what most of us experienced over the last few years.

Informing people on why they are not required by the Lord, nor required by any constitutional amendment-,to inject themselves with a poison substance- or to suffocate themselves with a face diaper- is not- foolish ignorant talk-,
once again I must defer to the example of our founders ..who did in fact hesitate for a brief time and allow the tyrants in England to run roughshod over them.. but then stood their ground-, as they had no other choice.
if you were in a building that was on fire-,and you knew it was on fire- and other people were just standing around ignorant of what was going on-, even though they were starting to be suffocated by the smoke-,and were making excuses, for whatever reason
,..( fear)for not escaping from the fire- would you then inform them-,and do everything you could to get them out-, or would you let them stand there and die for the purpose of being “nice”,and not offending anyone’s sensibilities?
.. if you’re going to use scripture to back yourself up..make sure you understand what it is what you are suggesting. This thinking is the same mindset that has burdened the church- since leftism globalism started to permeate the thinking of the ecclesia-, since about the 1940s for certain..in America- all the way up to covid-, and which is “do not offend anyone, and just go along with the program, be as nice as possible”. This is not what a soldier does. Yes you have worded you dialogue in a very intelligent way-, and you have come across very bold in your presentation.. but what you are saying is just the same old lukewarm churchianity approach-, revisited with different wording. Unfortunately and tragically I have also witnessed in my own home town here in Southern California-, and even heard people declaring the same weak and lukewarm sentiments, and witnessed them returning to the same old worn-out behaviors that allowed us to be overtaken by tyranny in the first place- since people started physically attending brick and mortar churches again in the last year or so.

Yes Jesus! I agree with his entire prayer! I pray for the hearts and minds of unbelievers and those captive in religious spirits to be ready to receive the gospel message of love from Jesus! Quicken their hearts to open their minds and give them new understandings Jesus. I pray for the seed of faith to come to fullness to renew minds and that the fullest of Faith will be rendered in every new believer, without any seed of faith in Christ to ever be taken away by the enemy, in the name of Jesus. I pray for new disciples to rise up out of these ashes as we go forth in the truth of the Word of God.

NO to having our blood (our most sacred stewardship) tampered with without our consent by a dangerous “vaccine.” I know personally a beautiful young woman who died of a heart attack after getting the jab, one of thousands of youngsters! No to jezebel’s control through evil corrupt politicians and Globalists. NO to the lying fake news media. NO to Church shutdowns. Don’t tread on us satan, the Lord rebuke you! NO!

For the most part, I agree with this premise of this article. We are not to get involved in senseless controversies but rather speak the truth in love.

And yet, when lies and deception abound and masks and mandates become symbols of compliance to these lies, then it is incumbent on Christians who see through the deception to join with non- Christians in speaking truth in order to protect others from the destruction that happens when large groups of people are deceived and act out their feelings rather than stand firm on the Word of God.

Much harm has been done because Christian leaders have participated in a passive kind of self-censorship and failed to challenge their congregations in applying the Word of God to our present circumstances. We must walk in faith, facing the truth, rather than act out of fear.

Every person who does not wear a mask (which has been proven ineffective) encourages others to take theirs off and not remain silent in the face of evil. Every person who speaks up about this toxic mRNA jab that is neither safe nor effective may save the lives of others, especially those who have not yet heard the good news of Jesus.

Father, thank you for sending Jesus, not only to pay the price for our sin but also to take our sicknesses and issues on himself so we can be well. Is 53:4&5, 1 Peter 2:24 we ask that as you made a separation between Egypt and Israel in the plagues, please make that distinction now for us. Shutting everything down Father hinders your kingdom from advancing on Earth. We know that is the why and purpose behind this whole covid issue. It is the enemy coming to steal, kill and destroy. You came to bring life. Lord as Aaron’s son took the sensor full of coals from your altar and stood in the congregation and stopped the plague of death, please let us, your people, shine forth as the light we are called to be and do the same thing now, in this time. Let us also shine forth your truth, word, and character and bring light in places of darkness. Thank you Father for hearing my prayer, 1 John 5:14&15 in Jesus name Amen.

I believe God is giving direction for prayer in the following verses:

Genesis 26:17-22 (NLT)
17 So Isaac moved away to the Gerar Valley, where he set up their tents and settled down. 18 He reopened the wells his father had dug, which the Philistines had filled in after Abraham’s death. Isaac also restored the names Abraham had given them.
19 Isaac’s servants also dug in the Gerar Valley and discovered a well of fresh water. 20 But then the shepherds from Gerar came and claimed the spring. “This is our water,” they said, and they argued over it with Isaac’s herdsmen. So Isaac named the well Esek (which means “argument”). 21 Isaac’s men then dug another well, but again there was a dispute over it. So Isaac named it Sitnah (which means “hostility”). 22 Abandoning that one, Isaac moved on and dug another well. This time there was no dispute over it, so Isaac named the place Rehoboth (which means “open space”), for he said, “At last the LORD has created enough space for us to prosper in this land.”

Steve, I’m so sorry that you and your family went through all that. It must’ve been difficult. I’m not sure how well I would have done, if all this happened to me. Hindsight is showing us that those who refused the experimental shot were wise, and avoided untold dangers and even death. You listened to the leading of God’s Spirit in a crazy time in our world’s history. May you and your family continue to follow His leading, and be blessed in every way.
I believe He is coming back soon. May we be found worthy.. Maranatha.

Our Lord Jesus says very clearly, “a rotten tree cannot bear good fruit, just as a good tree cannot
bear rotten fruit. By their fruits you shall know them.” The corruption inside the Vatican, amongst
the Bishops here in the United States and which has infiltrated all of our government and secular
institutions has been overtly on display with this Covid Hoax. Had the Church exercised even a modicum
of prudence when this diabolical scheme commenced, the bishops and priests would not have
permitted the churches to be closed or the brethren to wear masks inside them, only before a very
brief time of discernment and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit to cast out Satan from our midst.
No, the discord stems from their infidelity, cowardice and complicity with Satan and his minions who
operate twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year until that judgment day
comes. There used to be a time not too long ago that when one had anxiety, fears and disconsolation
about the state of his own soul and that of his country, he could receive counsel from a priest to set
him on the right path to salvation, not hell. As Saint Peter said so cogently in his epistles, “flee from
this corrupt generation” and lest we not forget that admonition by our Lord to his apostles, “the world
hated me before it hated you”, let us persevere to the end knowing that our so-called religious and
institutional leaders are nothing but malignant snakes above the grass who crucify our Lord day by
day and cannot wait to put us all out to pasture.

Sincerely,

Vincent – Be of good cheer, the Lord has won the victory!

I agree that unity & harmony is commanded by the Lord our God. Without it Satan will use it to divide and destroy which is his purpose since falling to earth like lighting. He is doomed and he wants every human being doomed also, and he is doing a huge job at getting that done in this world today.
We, the children of God are the only wall of defense against his willy schemes, and if we do not stand strongly in His love, who will? Greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world…amen.

My wife and I lost our jobs because we did not agree to taking an untested experimental mRNA technology. People in the church we used to attend ostracized us and demanded we wear a mask to be identified as unvaccinated. Our children faced many obstacles just to receive an education. Not once did we publicly shame or ostracize people for putting their faith in pharma. Explain to me once again why we are the aggressors here? You’ve just lost a subscriber. I’ll put my faith and hope in Jesus and proclaim his victory on earth as it is in heaven.

    We all have a lot to learn and isn’t it a cause for praising the Lord that He is our willing Teacher!!!
    My heart breaks for your pain from this evil that the devil devised to harm us, but I did not get the
    same impression that you apparently did. I am referencing the statement that it was you or your family
    that were the aggressors. You ask for an explanation for your assumption that you are being
    accused of something that was not even said here. Your pain can only be soothed by submission to the
    will of God. Your judgment of this writer, who is only trying to be of help in this madness, is very unmerited.
    If you do not subscribe, what effect does that have on anything, except to make a vain attempt to ease your
    pain. Acknowledge God in this and in all matters and do not lean to your own understanding, because God
    loves you and wants to direct your paths. Your family needs you to be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
    I want you to agree in the name of Jesus that He will take all the hurt, all the fear and confusion from you and give you
    His burden, which is light. His yoke is easy. He loves you.
    I did not take the VAX of death because God spoke audibly to me: “You will not take it.” I said, “OK”, because that is
    what I always say to Him. I don’t question Him. I knew nothing of the danger, but He did. I suffered total alienation
    and disrespect from many areas and most valued loved ones. But, obeying God brings peace. Having the peace of God
    is more valuable than anything the world can offer. God bless you and keep you close, very close, to Him. In Jesus Name,
    Amen.

      August 26, 2023

      Marty, not sure if you’ll see this but thank you for your concerns and prayers. I was reacting to the first edition of this writer’s prayer article, which placed blame on the unvaccinated for vilifying the vaccinated (perhaps that happened in places, but my family’s experience in CA was quite the opposite). . The writer changed the wording after the strong reaction in the comments section. In any case, I agree Christians give up their right to living in offense and bitterness when they submit to Christ, but we have a moral obligation to stand for truth and righteousness and against evil, even (especially) when it comes from within the church. As far as for me and my family, we left that church and formed an amazing faith community where we saw divine healings, powerful worship, and relationships renewed, a true outpouring of Holy Spirit. The lukewarm church we left with the mandates and cordoned off sections for the unvaccinated still doesn’t understand. I pray they repent and receive the blessing. All that said, the wording of the first edition of this article exposed some lingering trauma of rejection and broken relationships from 2020-2022 that I still needed healed, and I submitted it to the Lord and repented of letting the enemy’s threats give power to fear. The Lord is so good, and his mercies endure forever.

    Steve, I’m so sorry for the pain that you and your family suffered. My husband and I left our church over their maniacal, fear-filled adherence to covid mandates. We were worship leaders, and church leadership and elders insisted that we “sing quietly” because someone theorized that loud singing spread the virus further. (!!) I guess it sent out more saliva or something (even behind the masks?)! We had all we could do not to cut loose and ream them out! You are asking us to minimize our worship of the King and kings and Lord of lords Who died on the cross for us and then was raised from the dead?? Had they no faith in the power of His shielding as we worshipped Him?? Rather than deal in such discord, we quietly left. We love that body of believers and we will always keep praying for them, but we found another church that understands how profoundly we can trust the Lord Jesus with our lives and health. May you find the same refuge. Be healed, good hearts, in Jesus’ Name!

Wasn’t it through IFA that we learned about mRNA research and humanized mice. The vaccines are not neutral or benign. They were formulated through using aborted babies’ fetal cell lines. How can God bless that? Many chose not to get the vaccines/boosters for that very reason. They chose to be treated as pariahs rather than put such an evil thing in their bodies. They lost their jobs and weren’t allowed to travel or forbidden entrance to many places.
I appreciate knowing the origin of the new variant’s name.
I don’t necessarily agree with your reasoning. I felt somewhat manipulated, actually.
I don’t believe we were created to be fence sitters and compromisers. Jesus said we would be hated in this world. Remember what happened to the Church at Laodicea….

Escape The Devil’s Trap: 2 Timothy 2-23-26–“But refuse (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) trifling (ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels.” V. 24 “24 And the servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome (fighting and contending). Instead, he must be kindly to everyone and mild-tempered -“v. 25 “He must correct his opponents with courtesy and gentleness, in the hope that God may grant that they will repent and come to know the Truth ” Father God we ask you to lead and guide and direct us as we travel through this Eris spirit of Covid- that is the spirit of discord and strife, which means Chaos, contentious, rivalry and war. Father in 2020 there was a lot of discord and causing much separation among Christians, among Americans, among nations. Jesus we are not going to allow FEAR take a hold of our lives and we are going to be Representatives of Jesus Christ in America!🇺🇸 as we come in agreements, in the mighty name of Jesus. We deny the enemy’s power to try and destroy us with another manufactured virus, lies, trying to shut us down when we Have Authority over all plans of the enemy- Luke- 10-19 “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” God has given us His Words of Power to defeat the enemy and given us empowerment through our union with Him. God says in Ephesians 6-18 “Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).” using our power and authority given to us to call down evil in the world government and every agency that try’s to bind us. We the church, are God’s governing body on this earth, we have been given legal power from heaven and now will exercise our authority—We call down every virus, sickness disease, infection, or any other type of epidemic, whether natural or man – made, we deny its power to harm us and any of this earth’s population. We deny the power of the enemy and his cronies to use our food, water, or any vaccines and injections to try and harm us in any way. We deny the government’s ( enemy) to destroy our nation (s) our land of the free. Therefore I exhort Gods words and decree that the evil one will be defeated by our prayers, intercession, and giving thanks from all men and women who have the authority on their lives. We deny Eris the discord and strife of this Covid by using Gods words in “Psalm 91: God’s Impenetrable Prayer of Protection
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.” We declare an end to ALL the enemy’s plans throughout our nation and world. We praise God give Him honor and Glory to Jesus Christ our Savior. ✝️✝️🧎‍♀️

As was predicted months ago, the new virus (same old lie) shows up just in time to try & destroy another election. My, what a surprise! The elite globalists will stop at nothing to carry out there satanic schemes. Sadly, certain members of the party occupying the WH have been caught discussing this already. No surprise. Power obtained ‘through corruption & theft’ breeds more corruption, lies & theft.
Sadly, I have found that many churches (or those proclaiming to be believers) that are lukewarm, status quo or stagnant in their beliefs have been all too complicit in the dissension & discord. I know of many real life examples of churches who meet together for coffee & a snack after service, yet too many of the people’s discussions center around political allegiance to a party, condemnation of those who don’t agree with them, etc. Their conversations are devoid of spiritual matters that are affect the body of Christ. How tragically sad & wrong! God forgive us, have mercy & awaken our slumbering, lifeless churches, pastors & people.
**Lord, we are desperate for waves of revival & awakening, from You, to set our minds & hearts right….to focus on You again. Have mercy on us Lord, forgive us but do not be gentle with setting our course back to You – the giver of life eternal. We don’t want to be lukewarm Lord – break up the hardened ground of our stubborn & blind hearts & minds. Prepare us for a new outpouring of Your holy Spirit.
For those in power plotting & scheming to lie, destroy & steal, we ask that You would forgive them but also, that You would deal with them harshly & expose all their schemes & evil intentions. Amen.

I agree whole heartedly with the prayer. I have a difficult time with just saying nothing. If you truly believe that vaccines are doing more harm than good, and recommended protocols are uneffective is it more loving to say nothing or discuss intelligently. I have personally experienced hostility just in trying to discuss and chose to back out while still taking every oportunity available to speak into.

It is so important to be in the Word and clinging to the Father right now in order to keep from falling into fear. Father, I pray that my brothers and sisters will do just that and draw as close to You as possible. To fight against this great lie and to be kind, loving, compassionate, understanding, merciful to all those with whom we disagree, who are motivated by fear. Remove the scales from eyes, plugs from ears and stony exteriors from hearts and give us the courage to do the right thing in and through the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name.

It was horrible and fueled much hatred toward anyone that decline the shot. Many friends, family and myself all experienced some form of hatred, persecution, ostracism, loss of job/friends/family, malice and discord b/c we chose to not get the shot, even within the church. I pray for eyes to be open and the Lord give us all much discernment!!!

So I can’t really add more than was written. Most of this is a common pray for me. Shine the light of Jesus on this entire matter and those involved. And as said above, we need to BIND and RELEASE , and we should declare this: We come against and bind the spirit of strife seeking entrance through this virus. We give you no place in our lives, conversations, and relationships. We bind the spirit of discord attempting to divide Christians. We pray that any media outlets being used to fill people with fear be rendered ineffective. Let all lying lips be silenced in Your Presence. Let every seed of discord sown by the media be fruitless and die. We praise You that no weapon formed against us will prosper. No spiritual, physical, or bioengineered weapon will prosper. You said it and we believe it.
We loose the power of agreement according to Your Word

How about using language like, “I chose to be vaccinated and I promise not to harm you in any way.”
“I chose not to be vaccinated and I promise not to harm you in any way.” “I’m wearing a mask and I promise not to harm you in any way.” “I’ve chosen not to wear a mask and I promise not to harm you in anyway.”
FEAR of harm seems to be the driver behind the discord and strife.
We can take personal responsibility for our sincerely determined decisions. How people react to us is their responsibility.
Each of us will give an account for our own thoughts, words, and actions before God, not for how others reacted to us.
May God help us to be strong and courageous in following our deeply held beliefs and may God help us to be kind and compassionate to all others.

    God gave us wisdom and the knowledge to evaluate what is the Best route for our individual health and well-being.
    Experimental Genetic mRNA shots can be coded to attack the human body in was we can not imagine. Just like computer programmers place code in the software language.
    There is evidence these shots were deadly 50% of the time and now we are experiencing Sudden Deaths.

    We have people that have placed financial gain and power over human lives.

    Do your research on mask effectiveness and the ability for bacteria to grow on masks.

    Never in nursing did we wear a mask all day and to the extent it is promoted!

    Please open your eyes and be informed.

The church has been quiet long enough! Stand up, Speak up! We know what battle we are up against!
There is such a thing as righteous anger! There was a poll taken of the vaccinated. That the majority of the vaccinated, felt that us unvaccinated, should be locked up in prison. If, you are going to lock me up in prison… It will be for not backing down!
Stand up church!!!!!

Another fabricated Covid manufactured by man, led by the leaders of this world. It has been predicted earlier in this year and sadly it has come to pass. I believe it will cause fear in the masses of people, cause shut downs, forced mandates among the people and of course a new Covid vaccination, that only God and the people who manufactured the vaccine knows what it will do. It is the enemies intent to create death among the old and the young, if not by being hit with Covid, but with the vaccine. I have no doubt that Pfizer and other vaccine manufacturers, CDC, WHO, etc., will be absolved of any potential lawsuits by this government.
Living in Florida, I believe that Governor DeSantis , will not shut down this state or mandate masks. It will be up to the citizens of this state to chose of their free will how, as necessary to protect themselves from this attack from the enemy.
As a Christian, I will not bow down to this. I have trust in the Lord as I did when the first Covid attack hit this nation and this world, that He will protect my family, my church and all believing christian churches with a hedge of protection. The enemy has to be defeated by the presence of God, men/women of God, by prayer and fasting.
I also believe the enemy will do what it takes to shut down the churches, any revivals or mass tent meetings lead by men and women of God. We will be bold in rejecting the enemy as we have a Father that loves those that have accepted Jesus, and God will suppress the enemy with a crushing blow.

Very interesting that this new strain is named after the goddess of discord! I think it will be used for more mass mail-in ballots in attempts to once again affect the outcome of a Presidential election.

The church is here to restrain. We cannot restrain and at the same time comply. Never again will I wear a mask or even think about taking a vaccine or booster. I know for sure my current church won’t shut down; they never did the first go-round of the virus.

We need not disparage people who are wearing masks or running for the next inoculation, yet we will likely have to confront others who tell us we aren’t ‘loving our neighbor’ by not doing the same. We need to put on the full armor of God to stand our ground against the enemy who wants to grip people with fear and control. We should remind people of all the egregious results of lockdowns to school children, businesses and the elderly who couldn’t see their loved ones. The huge number of athletes and young people who have perished after the vaccine. We should also be armed with truth about what the vaccine actually does, the fact that the masks do not work to stop the virus and that standing six feet apart is such an arbitrary, unscientific mandate.

I am not unsympathetic to the Wuhan virus. I lost a sister and a great-aunt. But I believe it was the mandated treatment for the virus that killed my sister. As for my great-aunt, she was a casualty of then Governor Cuomo who ordered infected patients to take up residence in nursing homes–she lived in one. We need to be wise as serpents but gentle as doves. I expect we will be villainized, called un-Christian, accused of spreading the virus, and much more, but we need to stand for freedom.

With Covid I claimed the scripture that no plague would come nigh me and the Lord protected me so that I never got it. I refused the vaccine as my trust is in the Lord alone. I hated it that I could not go to Canada to the mission where Jesus saved me from sin and religion. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.

    In Jesus’ Mighty Name! Ps 35: 4 – 6 “May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.” I believe that Eris is a demon, the leader of a mass of them, whose job it is to hinder this third Great Awakening and to keep evil in power after the 2024 elections. Be of good good cheer, church! Prophets are saying that the Lord has opened a mighty gate of heaven and angels are pouring forth in numbers not known since the days of Acts chapter 2! The Lord Jesus Himself has His bow strung and ready and He will start firing flaming arrows! (Psalm 7.) As we pray, we have angels in agreement driving into these foul creatures and driving them away. This latest covid threat is lies and ashes in our eyes. Believe that the Lord Jesus will break its power, for nothing that Lucifer and his kingdom can do will stop this next great revival!

    yes sure seems that way, and they keep using the same drum to bang to scare and control people, if nothing its getting old, unorigional, and irratating, just in time for the election cycle to start up, and uh oh there is a new dangerous variant, you better do as we say its going to be contagious, they gaslight us to our faces they speak down to us, like a perant trying to get a child to do something but the child already knows they perant is trying to pull a trick, yet the perant does it anyway and denys it and if it dont work they strong arm them into doing.

    enough of this madness, using most masks wont keep it from being inhaled, it might cut down on the droplets you exhail and others might get it from but it wont stop you from getting it, and the shot while its a unprecedented feat that they were able to come up with a vaccine in record time, a testament of working togather on a goal as a contry and world, what they cam up with is with health risks, it is no coincedence I think that soo many athleats young ones and pro’s that are some of the most fit people in the world are having heart and cardiovascular issues on quite a wide scale that before the pandemic was unheard of, this can not be coincedence, and who knows what they are putting into the vaccine, some say it has heavy metals in it, some say it will eventually cause sterillity, highter rates of cancer years down the road, or that it has something in it that allows them to track us, we saw how powerdrunk fauci was and how he played on peoples fear and also lied about gain of function research that most likely lead to this monster being created, they have shown their hand and stated their line in the sand, these machavalians and charletans, and then saw how they could play on that fear they created in the chaos to steer and force compliance, like grabbing someone by a pressure point or ongoing injury to move them where you want them to go like so many governers and power drunk government officials in many blue states and red alike, there was a time when we did not know much about it when it first hit but now we know much more about it and how it works and spreads and the stuff has came out in the wash.

Thank you for your insight on how to pray, but I do think we need to ask the Lord to restrain this virus. The first step in vigilance in prayer is to understand from where we fight… in the courtroom of heaven. We ask for a restraint order. Many lost their jobs fighting to protect themselves and others from the harmful effects of the vaccine. Many more lost their lives. Not a foolish argument at all. But I agree we can present ourselves better as The Church. I pray Father with thanksgiving for the exposure of this plan, exposure of our fears and heart attitudes, but pray for vigilance and fortitude as we stand with You in wisdom, discernment and the knowledge of God. We listen to You and plan. We sit in Your presence and pray, then advance. Chaos and discord may be the spirit released, but we need to deal with that through the fruit of the Spirit, and deal with the deadly effects of the vaccine through wisdom and resolve. God be with us as we stand. And praying that indeed, we have learned and the troops are ready. Those who died fighting did not do so in vain. I was/ am on the frontline. Perspective is crucial.

Dear Father, It is so difficult to see people struggling, getting sick, not getting sick but being accusatory. The family is divided, the church is divided, the country is divided, the world is divided. Please help us to focus on YOU, Your Son, Your Spirit. Help us to remember that when we point a finger, there are four pointing back at us. Help our words to give life, help our actions to be bold under your direction, or subtle for the same reason. Keep us praying Lord, keep us singing Your praises. Help us to hear your voice, embrace the wisdom you send, and act in your name upon that.
In Jesus’ name.

The vaccinated were afraid the unvaccinated would hurt them. (Even though they were vaccinated🤔)
The UN vaccinated were afraid the vaccine would hurt the vaccinated. (Family, friends – Because the vaccine was way more deadly than the flu).
Whose thinking about who?
The UN vaccinated lost their jobs, relationships, couldn’t go to school, travel and on and on.
The vaccinated we’re free to do anything.
This is all pretty clear.
We must peacefully not comply to a godless goverment. And by the power of Christ’s LOVE do this.

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. ‘ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ‘ There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-31).

Lord God please help us. In Jesus Name We Pray.

Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.

I believe this is a very poorly thought out article. My wife shared it with me because I, like another commentor, see “red” when people’s health is so blatently abused. (Often to the point of death). For lies. The Churches role is to “stand up” for the broken and oppressed, not “go along to get along”. In case you didn’t notice, there was real suffering during Covid. Jesus said, “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth, I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household'” (Micah 7:6) The prohets were very divisive people, because most of the time the Truth hurts. It’s a challenge to do it in love, but Jesus never said ‘don’t make waves.’ Please read “Letter To The American Church” by Eric Metaxas, and watch “The Essential Church” movie featuring TRUE churches that wouldn’t shut down.

Satan has a great hold on so many but they can turn away from the evil one and repent. I believe you love us and want us to love you back. Honest prayer shows you that we trust in you. I trust you God and thank you for Jesus. Your will be done 🙏🙏🙏❤️

Covid continues to divide and cause discord and strife. How appropriate that this “new strain” is aptly named Eris. May we be wise and ask the Holy Spirit to be the loudest voice we hear!!! May we not be controlled by fear, or influenced by those attempting to cause division. I agree with this well written article and prayer except for the statement that says, ‘those who were vaccinated, were villainized by those who were unvaccinated.” I never found this to be the case. Maybe this was a typo? The overwhelming problem was the unvaccinated being persecuted by those who had been vaccinated. Horrible things were said to those who chose not to take these Covid shots. Many people were fired from jobs, excluded from get together, etc……… And to some degree, this is still happening.

I am surprised so few on here seem to have heard the shot were villainized by the unshot. I heard this in my family although not exactly villainized because it was a loving family.. The reasoning being that after getting shot you could be a non symptomatic carrier to the unshot. My almighty God end this plague once and for all.

How crafty! To say that you got Eris, would be to allow that chaotic spirit into your life! Our words are so important! God tells us we will be accountable for every idle word we speak, and by your words you are justified and by your words you are condemned. (Matt 12:36-37). And Proverbs 18:21 – Life and death are in the power of the tongue. So, confessing it allows it access. In Jesus Name, we speak the blood of Jesus, our Healer and Deliverer! We lift the sword of the spirit, the Word of God and break the curse that has been released into the earth. We humbly ask God for His refuge and we stand with the shield of faith resisting any and every attempt of the enemy to get us to agree with him to bring us harm and division. Father, grant us wisdom and insight to see clearly and to resist every fiery dart of the enemy. Draw us close to Your heart that we may gain Your wisdom and understanding, speak of You and Your ways, and walk in Your paths. We trust Psalm 91 and we fear nothing for Your great and precious promises protect and uphold us. In Jesus” Name we pray. Amen

This article confirmed what The Lord has been impressing upon my spirit with His Holy Spirit. I have been seeing Proverbs 6:6-19 everywhere. Sowing discord among the brethren is something that God hates, it is detestable to Him. None of us have Jesus figured out, none of us will have perfect doctrine while in these flesh suits. Walk in (stay) The Word and The Spirit (remembering they are one) and pray as you go and The Lord Jesus will lead and guide you safely to His harbor.

You said the vaccinated was villianized by the unvaccinated. It was just the opposite. I experienced it first hand and so did my family. My dad who was a pastor died from the complications of Covid. He wasn’t vaccinated so rumors spread like wildfire throughout our town that he preached against the vaccine but HE didn’t because he and our members believed that everyone has a choice when it comes to our health. The anger was on both sides of the aisle but to the most part most people really didn’t care if you had or hadn’t been vaccinated. I agree on one thing the church needs to stay open because it is the most essential. God bless everyone and I pray for God’s divine hand of protection on all.

This is a good word in due season. Gloria you definitely pricked my conscience. I felt like a few others in this thread, I guess the correct feeling would be offended, or put out by the rebuke of scripture to back your admonition. The enemy can’t take us out of our Father’s hand , but he can certainly disable the ranks through strife and discord, there by leaving us in effective to do the good works Hod planned in advance for us to do. Father I pray that this next weapon of the enemy would become null and void for it’s named purpose against Your Ekklesia. I thank You for Gloria’s insight and where this arrow of truth has pierced my, or anyone else’s heart may it be the warning and wake up that we need to not allow this weapon to disable us. Where envy and STRIVE is there is every evil work. I bind the spirit of strife in Jesus name and speak JESUS over those who would have ears to hear🙌🙌🙌. You are coming back for Your bride without spot or wrinkle, help is Holy Spirit to be that beautiful bride in the midst of the battle. Please help me to tick this revelation word from my sister deep in my heart and remind me that I am not fighting this next battle alone, that a house divided WIL NOT STAND, and that I am not fighting flesh and blood. It’s the spirit of deception that I wage war with. Help me to have Grace for those who are blind or living and battling a spirit of fear. Help us, (me) not to grow weary in well doing and help us to love or neighbor and bless and not curse them. In Jesus name and through His precious she’d blood I pray🙏🙏

This article took me back to all the feelings during the summer of 2020. As a teacher, it’s hard to see people make decisions based on ungodly drivers. While I don’t think these decisions could separate them from God’s love and entrance to heaven, I’m concerned for every agreement made that gives the enemy contractual footholds in this life. Small decisions based out of fear- of harming self or others, provision, government mandates- that manipulates one into making a decision that has profound affects later. Or… decisions made for convenience or pleasure- travel/buy & sell, etc. . All of these seemingly small decisions based on ungodly drivers erode the conscience and sensitivity to the voice of the Lord. I do not wish to argue with people, but I feel a responsibility to God and my brothers and sisters to speak the truth in love. The last pandemic I felt strangled, like I just couldn’t say anything. I pray for breakthrough- that those who discern rightly would speak in such a way that the mark would be hit and the heart would turn from ungodly manipulative voices. I pray that those who know truth and love would abide in the Lord so much that they would speak words that accomplish that which they were sent forth to do. God help us all to remain in Jesus.

“Those who were vaccinated were villainized by the unvaccinated.”

Disappointed in the above statement as it is a bit divisive to state one side and not include the vice versa in this issue, which was absolutely the case in many instances. Ironic when trying to promote harmony.

Also, unity over truth and not lies is vital.

    I see what you’re saying. I saw it both ways. I have a loved one who was outraged at people who didn’t understand the truth and got vaccinated as Christians and non-Christians. He “saw red” everytime anyone was for it, because he cares about peoples health, but he doesn’t show it compassionately. I also saw people tell some of my family and friends that they could not longer be around them anymore because they were not vaccinated. Covid was meant for chaos and hit the target BULLSEYE! I feel this article and prayer and the verses overall are great for both sides even though the one line states that. I’d like to share it with friends to pray for this next round

We have to speak truth in love. But unfortunately, even with other Christians, speaking truth ends up not so good. We speak the truth kindly, but they just don’t want the truth and choose their own way. Instead of trusting the Lord, they live in fear. Instead of listening to Jesus, they listen to the government. Holy Spirit was showing us the truth in 2020 when they tried to lock us down. We must take a stand as the church that is supposed to be the example and lead in the strength of the Lord and not comply to their demands!

Dear Heavenly Father. Help us to remember Psalms 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee. There are so many scriptures that give us your promises of protection help us to write them on our hearts and recall them as we move through this next course of disease. Fear thou not for I am with thee. Be not dismayed for I am thy God. Yea I will strengthen thee, I will help thee, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isaiah 41:10 The Lord is my light and my salvation, of whom shall I fear? The Lord is the STRENGTH of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? Psalms 27:1 We thank you God for your faithfulness and acknowledge that you alone are Sovereign and in charge. We pray your will over our lives and trust you with all our hearts.
