Insights into the Mysteries and Secrets...Goshen

I have just checked this website and it would seem my scheduled post for today has not been published, nor is it on the list waiting to be published!   So forgive the fact there is no photo with the text.  We should have been on holiday, but that was cancelled at last week, and since of course the countries of the world have gone into closure.   As we were to be away for a month I wrote this one and the one for 21st April at the beginning of March, but that too has disappeared,

Peoples' lives are being shaken.  In Australia it was the fires burning out of control which without God's intervention rain, the Met Office said, wouldn’t be expected until March.  In February floods here have brought greater devastation to homes and lives than before.  People call it climate change.
With the belief that God reigns over the earth the verses in Matthew about wars and rumours of wars, nation coming against nation, famines and earthquakes in various places I think we can see the beginning of the birth pains of the end of the age.  God's people will be persecuted and hated, wickedness will increase, the love of many will grow cold, sound familiar, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Matthew writes of two being in a field and one taken, the other not. I’ve always felt that referred to outbreaks such as the Coronavirus, not US teaching which originated in the 19^th Century about Christians being raptured!  An interesting fact is in different years of the Chinese calendar:  in the year of the Pig they had Swine flu, in the Bird year Avian flu, this is Rat year and the Corona virus is a respiratory disease carried by rats!

I heard about a church in Wuhan, it’s entire congregation infected with the virus.  “A pastor in Hong Kong associated with that church was also a little scared at first, but he rose up to pray and realized that he could not fall into fear like the world, so he responded with faith, and the whole church prayed together. Later, the entire congregation was wonderfully healed. Not only that, the government began to ask them to donate blood to help other patients, because they found that the blood of this congregation had healing power. This is the blood of Jesus Christ!”

It should surely be the time, for God to fulill His promises    For too long God’s people, be it Jew or Gentile have been afflicted with earthly diseases. Just as He set apart the children of Israel who had the blood of the sacrificial lamb on their doorposts.  Now in faith, not fear, I am asking the Lord that  just as the Israelites were destined to reach the Promised Land, we who are destined for the Kingdom of God be set apart, immune to all those things that plague God's people today.  As Moses said to the Lord, "What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?  And the Lord answered, I will do the very thing you have asked because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."   It is God’s desire that all men would come to know Him, and thre is no better time on earth for us to be His witnesses/ His Ambassadors and speak into being Goshen as ‘God’s Outpouring of Salvation and Healing in Every Nation’.   

Today, as I rewrite this, I have the opportunity to share with you that I believe the Lord is setting His people aside, at this time of self-isolation. to seek Him. and hear His personal call. If we do that now, instead of 40 years waiting to enter the Promised Land, I believe in 40 days we can let the Lord transform us, Romans 12:1-2 and we will know what it is to walk in the Kingdom of God and "Arise and shine as a His light in our nation.  There is no better book to be infected by than the Bible for His Word brings faith, peace, hope, joy and His perfect love casts out fear.

In the next couple of days I am launching a daily blog to journal God's encouragement to me and believing to do so will inspire others.  Contact me if you are interested at admin@emanuel-publishing.com if you would like to receive and take part in seeking the Lord, and His righteousness, in the belief as we do so He will reveal more of Himself to us.  The Lord bless you and keep you safe in these extraordinary days.
