I want to start by expressing my feelings about this pandemic from the very beginning. I was all about wearing the mask and being considerate to others. I saw this as a two-fold issue, where if you truly love your neighbor you would for just that reason wear the mask as a form of respect. God called us to love thy neighbor as thy self and this was clear to me. But this was out of a fearful and emotional base understanding of the issue or situation we were in.
So, with that said I want to share my walk during the pandemic in hopes to enlighten others in Christ from making the same mistakes I did. Let’s begin.
In the beginning I was skeptic of the whole thing but still held to this ignorance of believing that our government would be honest of what is going on which we know that is something that they are incapable of doing. I will start with the moral component in all of this that I left out and that is the truth, and what the truth says about this. It is important that in all things we revert back to the basics and I didn’t. God tells us we are to look at everything through the lens of scripture to see it to be true. In this I failed miserably because of the action of my flesh I relied on my feelings and emotions which lead to all things wrong.
When we start to move under our own understanding, we are damned to make the same mistakes we done in the past. This is the error most Christians do, think that we can do one of the two thing we usually do. Like trusting our government or that we can have the truth of what is going on for ourselves in which we cannot. This is what I did wrong I was very defensive against people that did feel the same way I did.
Subsequently here where I want to go with this, it’s simple without Jesus being the center of all we will fail miserably in every turn. There are many Christians that will not view this as being Christian like but I beg to differ on that. So here is what God gave to me through His word. I posted (the breath of God) article on my blog page and I will share the verses God gave me and how he spoke to me in the spirit.
God took me to genesis and said did I not breathe the breath of life into man and man became a living being. If you believe in my breath than anything that is restricting this is going against my order. God our creator also explains in other verses that it is He who gives breath and takes breath from man and not man. I know you maybe thinking that the mask is not taking, you are right but it is restricting the proper order of breath from entering and exiting properly which is harmful to us all. I will attach a link on how breathing actually works in the body and it is amazing how God designed us. How awesome is our God?
Before I add the scriptures, God took me to; please read through the whole breakdown on Wikipedia about breathing.
Here are the verses God gave me on breath and its importance.
Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk in it:
As long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
Nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
This verse to me was very powerful, in my eyes this was the first sign of the Holy Spirit.
If he should set his heart to it and gather to himself his spirit and his breath, all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
I had to add this comment which I feel I missed and needs to be said. If you read thru this and you are not wowed by God on how after molding us, all He did was breathe into our nostril the breath of life and all of the intricacies you see above were formed, wow how awesome 😎 is our God
