Coronavirus and the prophecies of Jesus Christ - 3

* Luís Alberto Alves

Jesus did not deceive us: He warned us in Luke, chapter 5, verse 11 that "... And there will be great earthquakes and famines in many places and epidemics, and there will be great signs from heaven ..."

However, for lack of reading the Word of God, many are unaware that the emergence of the coronavirus is simply the fulfillment of the Word of God. There is no reason to panic.

The Lord knows what He does. This moment is for the true Christian to glorify the name of Jesus. It is not to fall into the discourse of the world, to enter into despair.

Many churches should have a Thanksgiving service, because the coming of the Lord is approaching. What He prophesied almost 2,000 years ago comes true.

Coronavirus and the prophecies of Jesus Christ - 2

Unfortunately, most Christians only look at Jesus seriously when the callus presses on their feet. Otherwise they play the game of the world, including participating in the garbage it offers daily.

He does not understand that we are not of this world. Here is just a passage. The eternal abode is in Heaven. It is there where we will stay forever, in a place where Jesus will be our eternal company.

But attachment to material goods prevents the Christian from seeing this reality. The eyes are fixed on the luxury, with false shine. Something fleeting. Like an inmate who decides to decorate the cell where he serves the sentence. It is not something eternal.

In this trap many leave the Lord aside. They appeal to the famous plan B. They imagine that God can fail and start to trust the strength of their own arms, in a wrong attitude.

However, as Christians, we must be happy with everything that is happening. That's right, rejoice in the chaos that has installed itself in the world because of the advent of the coronavirus worldwide.

In the Word of God it is written that "the wisdom of God is folly for the wise". The more intelligent men are, the greater the degree of contestation of the Word of Jesus. They do not accept your domains.

To complicate matters, as few read the Bible, they end up being overcome by panic, they imagine that only Jesus can solve this problem. He can. Because all power is in your hands.

We should be if we rejoice in the Lord, for everything that happens in the world today. Looking at the spiritual world and understanding in depth the reasons for all this is happening.

Coronavirus and the prophecies of Jesus Christ

Many are frightened by the damage caused by the coronavirus in several countries. Some Christians even say prayers crying out for God's mercy, so that this illness can be neutralized.

I agree that any disease scares, especially something deadly, where even our family can be affected. However, this moment is one of serenity. To trust the Lord. He's in control of everything.

But the emotion is strong. Some people despair. Imagining that they were abandoned by the master. That is, they are given to the lions to become a meal for these beasts.

It's not like this. Jesus remains in charge of everything. He knows where to take the boat of our life. Nothing is out of your control, even if things seem messy in our heads.

Would Jesus take his wrong actions instead? - 4

* Luís Alberto Alves

From heaven, Jesus looks at us here on earth and feels sadness. Because of the directions taken by civilization. As in the desert, when the Hebrews built a golden calf, they now choose Satan's garbage as something wonderful.

Few people really ask Jesus every day if He would take that kind of action, whether at home, at work, at school, at college or in traffic. The thing is to hit the accelerator hard and expect the consequences later.

I am not a saint. I have many flaws. Otherwise, he would already be in Heaven. But within my limitations I always try to hear the voice of God when I make a decision. Even in simple things. I talk to the Father.

May you my brother or sister, especially now in times of Carnival, pray and say with all your heart, if Jesus Christ would take the actions that you have taken in recent times. Speak sincerely. Don't try to suggest God. Hear your voice, even if it is hard. It is better to obey than to sacrifice!

Finally, we live in an age where right is wrong and wrong is right. Anyone who dares to face the dirty rules imposed by the devil will be delayed. A good church is one that tolerates sin, no matter which.

Christian dating is synonymous with delay for certain members. There is no problem with having sex before marriage. After all, they will become husband and wife. Even homosexuality is tolerated.

What the Lord had written in Leviticus, in the opinion of some false Christians, is idiocy. The same applies to Romans chapter 1, 1 Corinthians chapter 6, verse 9 and Revelation chapter 21, verse 8. All of this is bullshit.

It is legal to accept sin as if it were a blessing. A good church needs to stay tuned to modernity. Today is different from the time when the prophets wrote the biblical texts. The world has evolved and the Bible needs to keep up. It cannot stop in time.

When the pastor brings a word of correction in the church, the rebels do not agree. They call God homophobic, grimace and dictator. Times have changed. In the middle of the 21st century, the digital age, certain biblical concepts can no longer be applied.

Teenagers, because of their young age, stomp their feet and refuse to listen to their parents' advice. They believe that Jesus is late. It does not live in tune with the current changes facing the world. The Old Testament is a work of museum, in their view.

Women also refuse what the apostle Paul wrote, inspired by God, in the letter to the Corinthians regarding the wife's submission to the husband. In an era of heated feminism. The woman must always rebel and stockpile her husband.

The pastor's authority is set aside. His words of advice should never be taken seriously. After all, God is love and we live in the age of grace. Any obedience to the rigors of God's Word is silly.
