If you fly to Hong Kong and get an enforced test at the airport that may suggest something, or indeed nothing, is wrong, but maybe your face just upsets the security guard, you will be taken away and locked up under a strict regime for a month and until someone decides that they can release you.
In Australia you might as well just give up, as the government enforce strict controls on every citizen, making them prisoners on their own island, denied even human rights or sensible reasons for such over-reaction actions.
Fear and terror has gripped the medical profession's so-called muppet 'experts', and given them the upper-hand in how the governments should act in the middle of our current scenario. These 'experts' are as totally confused and contradictory as the politicians themselves.
The level of insane hysteria that has gripped the media and sent it into overdrive to inflict mental torture on the general public is no accident or unplanned strategy. These things are all part of destroying the way people have lived their lives up until now, and creating a new ideology that would lock the entire world into a police state.
Our young people have all but lost their dreams of any sort of optimistic future, and find themselves battling with depression and other mental health issues that has yet to see its own destructive outcome. Suicides have grown in number, and the multitude of teenagers seeking mental help has grown beyond the capacity of the welfare system. The freedom and joy of childhood has been washed down the drain by the impositions of panicking bureaucrats and grim-looking, dark heads of the medical profession and pharmaceutical companies telling stories of death and destruction, unless we all bow to their dictates.
And how shall we manage our lives and our minds through this nightmare global film-set that has forced everyone to become part of the cast, whether they like it or not?
Jesus said, 'In me you shall possess peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation (troubles, distresses, untold times of challenge): but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.' (John 16:33)
Again, in Isaiah 26 it says that 'God will keep those in perfect peace whose minds are stayed on him.'
Never before has there been a greater need for people to read their Bibles and set their minds and hearts on what the word of truth has to say. People would rather go to their doctor for some pills, their mental health advisor for some 'counselling', or join some yoga or meditation group to try and focus on something soothing and distracting. Others of course will head for the 'bottle' and get drunk just to try and forget what is going on around them; and even more will head for some chemical alternative to get 'high' enough to feel happy again.
But if you want to know how to possess your soul (Luke 21:19), and patiently walk through all of the battlefield of this life with your head up, there is the full and perfect remedy in the words above. Set your mind and stay your thoughts on God. This is why the best prescription right now is to read your Bible every day, to fill your mind with the promises and assurances that God delivers time after time to those who will listen.
Wisdom and knowledge are the great requirements of this age, and the Bible says that they shall be the 'stability' of our times. (Isaiah 33:6)
I have taught for many years, even decades, that the days will come when the greatest need will be to know what the Bible says about the days we live in, and it will only be the knowledge of God's word that will enable us keep our heads when all around are losing theirs.
Most church-goers do not read their Bibles, and most certainly not on a daily basis, and they wonder why they are no different to anyone else in this world, and have no answers to give to others who are looking for help. I would say further, that most pastors and church ministers do not read their Bibles except perhaps when preparing a talk for Sunday services. Yet Jesus taught most clearly that, 'Man cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.' (Luke 4:4 KJV)
We find enough time and strength each day to go get food, cook it, and eat it to satisfy our hunger and replenish our body's requirements. We take our vitamin pills and medicines to maintain our physical health, and walk or exercise to keep the body well; but when do we bother to look after our soul and spirit, which in turn takes care of our mind and emotions?
As this world grows darker, and the troubles of these End of Days comes upon us, the only rock, the only sure foundation, the only hope and confidence we shall possess, will be the Word of God.
The Bible, hated and hidden from the population through the despising of its truth and holiness, is the source and breath of God to a lost world. It is God speaking in 2022 to every one of us, saying, 'This is the way: walk in it!'
It might sound old-fashioned in its language, but be sure of this: it is right up to date with all the technology and devices of this current generation. It is called the Word of the LORD, and it endures through all generations, right up to the end.
I am no scholar, but I still understand the old original King James Bible with its ancient language, and with the help of a Strong's Concordance I can easily find the original meaning for every word in every chapter.
Wisdom and knowledge are imparted through the Word of God, and the psalmist says it is sweeter than honey to the taste and more valuable than the finest gold on earth. Only those who taste and see that the Lord is good will discover the hidden wisdom and treasure of the Bible.
'Oh taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed and happy is the person who trusts in God'.
Jesus the Son of God said, "I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. Whoever follows me shall not walk in darkness or confusion, but shall have the light of life!" (John 8:12)
He never came to spread a religion, nor build cathedrals, nor manufacture dog-collars. He came to give us life, and life more abundantly. He came to save us from our sin, and bring us to his home in heaven.
Now,
for all Bible Students, and those who really want to know what the Bible says, and find the truth for themselves.
You can download the King James Version here: Online Bible - Home
And then look under the Downloads/ Dictionaries, and download Original Strong's Greek, and Original Strong's Hebrew which will interface with the online Bible.
You can then look up any word or verse in the software and by clicking on the # above the verse or passage the literal meaning of each word can be seen by holding your cursor over the number nearest the word.
I was given a disc with this software on it over 20 years ago by my good friend Russ Barker, and it was the most helpful and useful gift that I ever received from anyone. It is also available for Mac and phone. You may just remember a couple of words from a chapter in the Bible, but cannot locate it. This software will find it quickly and cross-reference every other verse in the Bible to help with your studies.
You must of course get yourself a real paper-printed Bible to go along with the software. There is nothing like holding the Word of God in your hands!!! I love the feel of a leather-bound original Bible, even if it is old or secondhand. Something special about the printed page and the reverence of holding the Book of Books!
Away with all the modernism that has poisoned reverence and made cheap of God's Holy Word.
People play with their stupid phones in church, instead of realizing the awesomeness of the Bible.
They have no respect to God if they have no respect to His Word.
