“For I do know that right now in our world..literally our world in which we live..it is in distress..so many are confused..they are completely lost and honestly don’t know what way to turn or what way to go..fear has crept in, and in a mighty way..yesterday while at work I could see this on many peoples faces..the look in their eyes is lost..and unsure..uncertain and really afraid of what lies ahead..because daily more stores are closing..people are getting laid off..stores are closing because this virus is spreading..and we can’t see it..it’s taking a risk as to whether we go out or not?..do we stay home or do we leave?..do we risk it?..is it even worth it?..Amen..because we have parents who are elderly..we have babies..small children, our families and friends who are sick already with low immune systems..heart issues..breathing problems..so there is confusion..there is worry..they are fearful..because overnight all the liberties and freedoms that we had..they’re slowly fading away from us..and we don’t know what we are to do..we are concerned..we’re living to the best of our ability..trying to continue on living..Amen!”

“So this morning I just want to encourage us all too stand strong in the Lord..I pray we don’t lose our hope or courage in the midst of this tragedy that we all are facing..for right now the world is in turmoil..people are being quarantined to their homes..schools, collages..and churches have shut the doors..were not to be in a room of 10 or more people..and honestly life and the busy lives that we’re used to are vanishing quickly right before our very eyes..Amen..I’ve spoken to many older folks in their 90’s and they’ve said that they have never seen anything like this as to where the whole world is in a mess and is in trouble all at once by this virus..Amen..but as children of the Lord..I can’t help but to remind us of the word of God..because it is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our pathways..Psalm 119:105-112..for the Lord says, These things have I spoken to you, that in me you might have peace..but in the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer..Amen..for I have overcome the world..John 16:33..for it says that we have this treasure in these earthy vessels these bodies of ours..that the excellency and the power may be of God, and not of us..Amen..for we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed..2 Corinthians 4:7-9..Amen!”

“For God has commanded us to let our light shine out from darkness..Amen..for us to not let the gospel of Jesus Christ be hidden to them that are lost..2 Corinthians 4:3-7..for us to be filled overflowing and daily so with the power and the anointing of our Lord and Savior..Amen..For it says that our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory..for while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen..for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal..2 Corinthians 4:17-18..Amen..for once again this world is not our homes..heaven is the goal..and heaven is the place that God has prepared for us..John 14:3..so to live is Christ..and to die is gain..Philippians 1:21..Amen..for we are called to walk by faith and not sight..2 Corinthians 5:7..and faith is where we live at..it is all done by faith and trust in Him alone..for right now is the gospel of Christ placed on the stage of life..it is an open book that the world is truly reading..so let them read it well in our lives..in the way we live..to the way we react to this storm that we’re all in..being that ‘BRIGHT SHINING LIGHT’ for Jesus Christ our Lord..showing them the way..sharing peace, hope and love..for the earth is the Lord‘s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein..Psalm 24:1..and the earth is the Lord’s footstool..and heaven is His throne..Isaiah 66:1/Matthew 5:35/Acts 7:49..for we serve a great big God..and He can do anything..Amen..so trust the Lord with your life and your families lives..for I pray healing and protection over each and everyone of you all..I pray the Lords peace to flood your souls and your minds..and I pray that you all rest in the Lord our God and in Him alone..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
