WE HAVE BEEN SILENCED.

As I sit in the doctor’s office, waiting to have my eyes examined, I noticed something that has become quite too familiar. We all had on masks coverings from our noses down.

We may think that COVID-19 is the cause and culprit for that. BUT let us take a closer look at what is really going on. Those of us who are called by His name ought to realize that we really have been silenced — especially in enclosed offices, supermarket, etc.  We should recognize that we can no longer speak to each other. We can not share our experiences with or about our doctor’s visit. More importantly, we cannot share our love for God with others as we sit in waiting rooms to be ushered into the doctor of dentist’s office.

We cannot encourage another patient who may not have had a conversation with anyone else in a week or more. Someone isolated, and in the waiting room wanting  to be asked “how are you doing to?” — so that they can feel connected to the outside world. Someone who has been just listening to/watching Social Media and the television all day and need to have someone to talk to -- to help calm their fears by telling them that God heard their prayers and it is going to be alright.  Someone, just perhaps is being abused at home and need to share their heart with someone else or just to get some advice.  BUT GOD.

We now must sit still in the doctor’s office, the dental office, and every other office that we go to In silence.

There are some people who love having the masks on their face, because they do not want to be bothered with people.  They are too hurt or angered to want someone to see the challenges that they are dealing with.  Despite the mask, we will continue to tell the masses of the love and generosity that You Daddy God has poured into us. 

Before my mother passed away from this earthly life and was in the hospital, I would go to the hospital and before I got to her room I would go into the other rooms and ask the people if they wanted me to pray with them.  So bad was it that my older sister would refuse to go to the hospital with me.  She said that I was embarrassing her.  Did I care?  No!  Not then, not now.  Even as a Volunteer Chaplin, I am now not allowed to go into the hospital now and minister to God’s people.  WE HAVE BEEN SILENCED. 

Will we sit still and let COVID-19 via satan, the god of this world system to stop us from spreading the Word of God?  I THINK NOT.

When we are silenced in offices or supermarkets and stores, we must now USE Social Media to spread God’s Word like never before.  NOT YOUR AGENDA, PLEASE – GOD’S AGENDA.  When we push God’s agenda, God will make come to pass that which He has ordained for our lives before the foundation of the world.  HE GOT YOU.
