It's one thing to dislike the dictatorship- like restrictions, but now the question is, are they telling us to be unGodly? Taking a look at at it, I would have to say, yes. And here's my evidence ,why I believe so, the Bible states, "do not neglect the gathering of yourselves together".But if the law now forbids us to go to church, if the Bible says, DO NOT neglect the gathering of yourselves together,and the governor says we should, do we listen to an elected politician at the expense of disobeying God?Pastors have been arrested for holding church services.Second, evangelism...how can we hand out gospel tracts from 6 feet away? Third, God said,"Be fruitful and multiply.How can we be fruitful and multiply if the husband and wife are 6 feet apart? Uh huh..also,in the Lords prayer it states"Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven."As it is in Heaven...do you think in Heaven we'll be wearing masks and standing 6 feet apart, and terrified of a sickness?Is that Gods will being done on Earth as it is in Heaven?Also, the Golden Rule.."love your neighbor as you love yourself". By walking around someone ,avoiding them like they're contaminated, that's being fearful of your neighbor, not loving them as ourselves, because we don't fear ourselves and treat ourselves as contaminated.Also, I think these instructions from unsaved people are given out of fear.God did not give us the spirit of fear. By "giving in" to these actions, to me, it's like announcing that we ARE afraid. When the storm was on the sea of Galilee, was Jesus afraid?Do you think Jesus in the time of coronavirus would have worn a mask and walked around people because He was afraid to catch it?Come on.Yes the Bible states honor our leaders,and Jesus said render unto Caesar what is Caesars.But like Christians are quick to also point out, UNLESS the rulers want us to do something that conflicts with Gods instructions.Proof--when the Antichrist comes, the Tribulation saints get martyred instead of take the mark.Because following Gods instructions supercedes following our human leaders instructions.So are the coronavirus restrictions un Godly?In most aspects of it, I think so.Remember, these people are looking at it from a worldly viewpoint, with worldly solutions. I understand, they don't know, they're unsaved. But if some want to do something unGodly, don't make me follow along too. Make the decision, which is stronger,God or coronavirus. Man cannot serve 2 masters, for he will love the one and hate the other.
We went in to lock down 26.3.20,
Isaiah 26:3, 20
3, You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.
20, Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by.
There are many examples in the bible of isolation, you might see a plague an isolation and a victory story if you read the old testiment..
Leviticus 13v46
As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.
We have already had a church which had a case, thanks to our heavenly Father all are good..

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
