Is Your Relationship With God or A Building?

Right now we have to stop assembling together in a building because of the Coronavirus. There are Christians who contracted the Coronavirus while attending church and at choir practice. Some have died from it. But just because we can’t assemble in a building, we still can encourage one another, pray for one another, and help our neighbors, brothers and sisters in Christ in a safe way. We can attend church over the internet, have church with our families in our homes, and we can have group prayer meetings over the phone.

Let Us Pray: God the doors of the churches are close because the Leaders and Pastors are obeying the Law of the Land concerning the Coronavirus. God I ask You in Jesus’ name open up the doors of Your children’s hearts to Your Word, Prayer, Praise, and Worship in our homes daily. God You are showing us that this is about having a relationship with You and not about going to a building. God remind us that You dwell among Your people in a more intimate way than a building. You have sent the Holy Spirit to live inside of each of us. We each are a tabernacle that You dwell in.

God let the Coronavirus cause Your children to build a closer, stronger, more intimate relationship with You (because that is where our strength lies) that will not cease when the virus has died and the doors of the Church are back open. Let there be a revival that breaks out throughout the World greater than the outbreak of the Coronavirus. God don’t let that revival die. And when the doors of the church are back open, don’t let any of us forsake the assembling of ourselves. Thank You Jesus. Amen, so be it.

Read—Titus 3:1, 1Peter 2:13-17, Romans 13:1-7, Hebrews 10:25

"I see a plague coming on the world, and the bars, churches and government will shut down. The plague will hit New York City and shake it like it has never been shaken. The plague is going to force prayerless believers into radical prayer and into their Bibles, and repentance will be the cry from the man of God in the pulpit. And out of it will come a third Great Awakening that will sweep America and the world."

-David Wilkerson in 1986

In my prayer time & devotion time. I ask this
What on earth is happening Lord?
This Covid-19 pandemic is creating havoc worldwide.
Im taken back to The 1st & 2nd Commandment in Exodus 20:3-5
““You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,”

Vs 7.
“You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.”
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:3-5, 7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Its a heads up to the World. If you look closely at Current events. The LORD is bringing these idols down!
The god of me myself & I,
The monetary system god, god of economies,god of Sport, god of Entertainment, god of self-gratification, god of materialism, governmental systems god, religious gods, even gods created within our own Christian church?!note even Christian gatherings worldwide halted, which means missions on hold...etc.

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭

It’s a reminder to us that the creator of marriage , the creator of family, holds HIS creation(Humanity) in high regard.
The evidence is before us, Sports events cancelled world wide, music concerts cancelled worldwide, movies & entertainment cancelled, world economies on the brink of collapse, job losses, monetary systems stretched, travel world wide is halted and what is left for us to do?

We are called as Communities & families to pull together, governments have had to lay down their agendas..
Is this is a reminder & warning that time is near.? “For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Let us make things right with the LORD first ,with one another....Forgive, forget & find everything we need in JESUS.
It’s all clear in HIS good news. The Holy Bible.

We say & sing ‘I Love You Lord’ and yet we are still self-righteous & judgemental, thinking we know it all (even Pastors) we say we forgive but still show the evidence that ,that is not so? we claim humility & respect but still hold on to pride, we pursue self always...in material things, in ministry in worship even in ministry etc...etc.
I ask myself where are these Godly self proclaiming tongues speaking apostles prophets and healers of today, with power...shouldn't they get into action and operate in their so-called gifting from God, where are they when we need them. Or are they in self isolation?
Maybe we need to Get back to the basics..the Truth of Gods Word.
We cannot continue to proclaim the power of the Holy Spirit and claim this and that , when it is not so. HE the Holy Spirit is All Powerful at all times and it would be evident...in a massive way!!!

Conclusion is this?

“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

People all over the world are realizing that there is a higher power who is really in control God is sovereign and just because He isong suffering and forgiving does not give us the right to be going on with so much transgressions of various forms.For example I read not too long ago that there is a particular country in Europe where people are walking about casually in the nude.They are not en harassed and noone is surprised.It is a accepted as being normal.This is a wake up call to the world .I am sure that .any people will call upon the name of the Lord for mercy. People who believe power of wealth is everything will realize that they were so wrong. IN the final analysis every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
