The Origin of Coronavirus

Some prophets say this virus came from a scientist in a laboratory.  Some prophets say it came from under the Oceans.  Some prophets say that is the result of radiation from the new 5G technology that is causing people to show flu like symptoms severe enough to be fatal.  I am a prayer man and I have asked God often these last few weeks what is this coronavirus about.  And I have not gotten a clear word from the Lord so I know he is allowing it in the earth but I don't believe that it is directly from God.  Remember in math class how 2+2=4 and 2x2=4, notice that one answer comes by addition and one is by multiplication, but the result is the same.  So whether the virus came from a laboratory, from the ocean, from a demon or the devil, or the Chinese, or its just a mutated super-flu, it has still stopped everything from moving.  It has worked just like a Declaration of War, sports, wall street, businesses, schools, and even Church has stopped due to this Pandemic.  So no matter where its origin has come from, the result is the same.  I am a Pastor and without the gathering of the Church body, for a moment, the Church has to regroup.  All these other institutions including Church are loosing money, possibly loosing fans and interest, loosing hope and loosing time,  but I know that God will give the Church new strategies to go around this Outbreak's effects.  Trust God closely in the season and keep praying.  I even encourage people who may be involved in some of these other institutions to talk with God about what's next and I promise you He will speak.  Jesus said in scripture that "He that is not for me is against me, and He that does not gather with me, scatters"  so even though this is not a personal attack;  Coronavirus is an enemy to the Church because it does not help us to gather, it causes a little scatter.  The result is the same.  Pray that God will give us power for Healing and recovery from this Coronavirus Outbreak and its effects around the world.  Thank you for praying with Me.  RY 

Coronavirus vs. Jesus

Over the last four months, all the news cast, media outlets and general conversation or everyone has been the effects and concerns of the Coronavirus Crisis.  Nations around the world are fighting to save lives and come up with ways to stop the spread of this most recent outbreak.  Now fast forward and now the U.S. has taken the lead in deaths due to contracting the Coronavirus and just today, 3/31/20 President Trump announces and national quarantine for 14 days.  Earlier this afternoon, the Mississippi Governor announced a shutdown for my own local area of Lauderdale County and Meridian, MS.  That is when you have to decide to get your faith shields up and prepare to use your Faith.  Although we don't want to sound dismissive, the church has to continue to Pray and remain strong.  As a Pastor, its difficult to help people stay encouraged when the actual crisis suspends the church Worship service right along side of other meetings.  Some essential jobs are not asked to close, but some jobs don't want to close because of the financial loss.  But this Pandemic is real, and nothing has ever stopped Sports, Wall Street, Nations, Major Events, Church and all types of gathering we have taken for granted for nearly 100 years.  That's enough precedence to most to know this is serious, but my God is still bigger than this.  I encourage you to Pray daily, read the Word of God daily, Worship God daily and if possible Witness to someone daily and God's going to get us through this.  Get your Faith up!  Your Faith is God will get you through this.   God Bless  Pastor Randy Young

2 Hard 2 Believe: Increase Your Faith Series

For the last 2 months I have been sharing and preaching about how we can increase our Faith and the need for stronger faith in the days to come.  Messages like Mustard Seed Faith, Faith&Vision, Walk by Faith-not by Sight, and 2 Hard 2 Believe have absolutely helped our church family grow in Faith.  We believe that what God wants to bring into the Body of Christ in 2020 and beyond will require a new faith level and faith increases by hearing the Word of God.  In Mark 9 and story of Jesus delivering a young man from demon possession accompanied by his Father helps us to explain more.  Jesus asks the father a question?  If you can believe, all things are possible.  The father replies to Jesus, "Lord I believe, but help thou mine unbelief."  In short, the father says, part of me believes you can help my son, but part of of me does not believe.  This if the Faith dilemma that most Christians have, part of me believes Jesus, but another part of me does not believe.  Romans 7 Paul says some similar line of thinking by saying when I would do Good, Evil is always present with me.  It 2 Hard 2 Believe in tithing, 2 hard to believe in people, 2 hard to trust that Preacher, 2 hard 2 believe that husband/boyfriend or wife/girlfriend.  I would get married, but its 2 Hard to believe.  2 Hard 2 Believe was a great message this month but I as I close, I want to encourage you in 2020 because with God, all things are possible and nothing is too hard for Him.  Expect the hard thing to ease up this year in Jesus name.  Pastor Randy
