Somethings not right

Anyone else feel like they’re living in some surreal world or a movie? Groundhog Day comes to mind. It’s all a bit boring, a bit dull, a bit depressing and a bit too much.

I’m done with the lockdowns, the social distancing, the masks, the total and utter acceptance that this is how things have to be right now, (and most likely forever) the lies, the contradictions, the constant change in information to confuse people.

How can anyone in their right mind be truly ok with this? I mean, really, think about it, about all that’s gone on and ask yourself, does this seem kosher to you? Nothing amiss? Nothing a bit….. off?

I was watching JD Farags prophecy update this morning, titled “Somethings not right.” Somethings not been right since the first two week lockdown to “flatten the curve” that turned into an almost year long one. (Give or take a few months)

I don’t have peace over this, and you know what? That’s ok. Yes, I have peace that comes from the Lord, that I know and find comfort in, but I don’t feel at peace about what the leaders of the world are doing and how this is affecting so many people; the job losses, redundancies, homelessness, the suicides; oh, it breaks my heart.

The cure should never be worst than the cause, and this is certainly the case when it comes to this virus. Lives have been destroyed; parents in such despair that they take not only theirs, but their child’s life too. There is no hope for them, they can’t see a way out. Suicide rate is sky high; eating disorders, self harm, anxiety has increased dramatically in the last year. Children as young as 5 being prescribed antidepressants, and 8 year olds self harming.

Forced to comply to rules that don’t make sense but dare not question. Shops closed down and jobs lost; but it’s to save the national health service so who are we to question?

Have we forgotten what it is to have freedom? Have we become so used to this way of life, so shaken with fear that we’ll do anything to….. what’s that phrase again?…. get back to normal??

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but normal packed up and left a long time ago, probably around the “ just two weeks to flatten the curve” mark. There is no more normal, no “new normal” ( well there’s an oxymoron in itself) Life will never be as it was.

Not very uplifting, I know, but I prefer to call things as they are. Yes, I miss the way things were before, but throughout this it’s felt like the final things that I enjoyed on this earth have been loosed away from me, making my focus on the Lord even more so and stronger and that can only be a good thing. Though freedom here on this earth is getting less and less, I have freedom in Christ, which, to be honest, is the only freedom that matters.

John 8:36 If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Freedom in Christ is freedom from sin and from all this world has to offer. I could be incarcerated; yet free. It is a wonderful thing to know the Lord and to be focused on the things of eternity and heaven. This earth is dying, it has been since the fall; eternal salvation is what awaits the believer and the more I focus on these things the better. Now I would love to tell you that I am always focused and “looking up”, never letting the ways of the world trouble me, but I’d be lying. There are days when I feel so tired, fed up and down. It’s hard watching what’s going on and seeing the fear that has been so well fed to everyone through the MSM (main stream media) and not feel aggrieved by it all. It amazes me that people are believing the lie. I see countries giving away free ice cream or beer when you have your jab. Why do people need to be coerced or forced to take it? For a virus so deadly you have to be tested to know you’ve got it???! Makes sense? Is it sinking in yet??

I don’t say this to make anyone feel silly, scared or confused. I say it to get you to think about what’s going on and why, to do your research into the numbers, the stats, the inconsistencies. Research is essential right now, but above all things; knowing Jesus is the most important. What I mean by that is calling upon the Lord Jesus Christ, repenting from your sins and trusting in Him as your saviour. Being born again, accepting Gods free gift of salvation is the most important and amazing thing you can do.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.

I will end this post with a verse from one of my favourite hymns, Room at the Cross for you.

The cross upon which Jesus died
Is a shelter in which we can hide
And its grace so free is sufficient for me
And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea.

Chorus
There’s room at the cross for you
There’s room at the cross for you
Though millions have come, there’s still room for one
Yes there’s room at the cross for you.

Such beautiful words, an invitation to us all; there’s room at the cross for you.
