COVID-19 has changed the course of life for virtually every human being on the planet. All across the globe, peoples, governments, businesses and institutions have had to fundamentally alter their ways of being and moving. In most locales, restrictions have been imposed on travel, on work and even on staying at home. To quarantine is to impose isolation; it means to stay in one place for as long as possible. It’s a restriction on movement.
People are feeling “quarantined” or closed in and that sensation is leading to other types of feeling, namely “bored”, as indicated in conversations across social media. It’s understandable, given that we are so used to going and coming when we please.
But if we aren’t careful, we may exit this crisis the same way we entered: fearful, fretful and faithless.
Quarantined may be the way you went in, but as Isaiah proclaims the new- Behold! – it doesn’t have to be the way you come out.
God does not spend time on the old; God is up something new. He’s not intending for you to come out of this crisis the same ole person. He’s taking a desert and turning it into rivers!
Rivers of hopes, dreams and aspirations you could never have imagined.
Yes, indeed we should and must comply with civil authorities. We must stay home and stay healthy in the midst of this unprecedented pandemic. But that’s limited to the physical realm only. In the spiritual realm, now is the time to embrace what God is doing in your life. And guess what? He’s already begun! Right here in the midst of COVID-19!
Now step up to the challenge! Stay in confidence.
Although your body may be “quarantined” let your mind be free! Do not give in to the temptation of limited thinking. Let this be a time of great
release. Remember
the words of Jeremiah 29:11:
For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.

I like it and very thought provoking, if you are a spiritual person and trusting in GOD’S word as I am and see what’s happening.
Now for those who may be of the world and of Free will, to do as they please, and Not there spiritually with God or beliefs, May and will probably say this is a man made disease, and that the Government is just trying to take over and control everyone.

Yes thank you fo your view on this and such strong and true words. This is a time of true repentance so that The Most High God can heal the land so that we can show satan who is actual in charge. The Most High spoke to the house of Israel and told them to go into a quarantine state for protection because of what he was bringing on the wicked . So to say this pastor people better return back to their first love and that is The Most High God of Israel there is no other like him or will there never be no one like him.
