A Possible reason for coronavirus




God is good all the time; all the time, God is good.

You probably heard this story before, but I like to use it to bring our point across as to a possible reason for coronavirus pandemic.

A farmer bought a mule, brought it home, and put it in the harness of a plow.  “Getty up, go! “Said the farmer. The mule didn’t move. He clicked his tongue and snapped the reigns, but the mule didn’t move. Try as he may mule would not go!

The farmer called the man who sold him the mule and told him I can’t get this thing to move.
The man came, had a 2 x 4in his hand, and hit that mule in the head with it.  The mule came alive and did all the commands he was told to do.

“Why did you hit him on the head with the 2 x 4?”

“You have to get his attention, first, then he will do anything you want.”

The 2 x 4 was painful, but it got his attention, and he obeyed.

And this from the book of Job - changed for today:

 One day when the angels came to report to God, Satan, who was the Designated Accuser, came along with them. God singled out Satan and said, “what have you been up to?”

Satan answered God, “Going here and there, checking things out on earth.”

God said to Satan, “Have you noticed my loved-ones, My Church, honest and true to my word, totally devoted to God and hating evil.” (take d off devil, and you have evil)
     
Satan retorted, “So do you think they do all that out of pure goodness of the heart? Why no one ever had it so good! You pamper them like pets, make sure nothing ever happens to them or their family, or the possessions, and You bless everything they do – they can’t lose!

     “But what do you think would happen if you reached down and took away everything they had? They would curse you right your face, that’s what.”

 God replied, “Go ahead – do what you want with all that is theirs.  Use your dis-ease.  But I will turn all you do around and make it good.  And remember, Satan, I, Jehovah God, love your world so much that I sent My Son, Jesus, to die on a cross so your subjects may turn from you to Me.  And Jesus rose from death to give them life more abundantly.

“My Church, the Jesus' followers, will prevail and grow stronger because you caused dis-ease.  Jesus will be lifted up and draw your people to Me when you do this.  SATAN, GO! DO YOUR HAVOC BUT REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE HEADED.  My kingdom will come on earth as it is in heaven."

NOVEMBER 2021 NEWSLETTER

  November 2021 Newsletter Robert Lindenberger 3325 3rd Ave. Mims, FL 32754. 321-368 -7184 Expas65yaho.com “… God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.’ So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. (Heb. 13:5-6). Life gets tedious and boring at times, and it is hard to keep on keeping on. Have you ever felt like giving up? Elijah did. The Lord had just used him to show the nation of Israel that the Lord is God (1 Kings 18). Yet, the threat of Queen Jezebel so alarmed him that he ran to Beersheba, 100 miles south (19:3). Then he walked another 150 miles south to Horeb, the mountain of God. Twice God asked Elijah what he was doing there (vv.9, 13). Both times he answered with identical words—“I am alone and left; and they seek to take my life” (vv. 10, 14). He had become so preoccupied with his own fears that he had forgotten what God had done through him at Mount Carmel. Despite his great victory, Elijah plunged into t

INTRODUCTION - MY VERY FIRST BLOG

Hello, my name is Bob, God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!, Lindenberger.  To introduce myself, I am going to post my 2019 Newsletter:   I love to tell the old, old story Of Jesus and how He saved me.  Another Christmas month is here, and I am changing the format of my newsletter. (but it didn't copy to here)  I do love to tell the old, old story because it makes me happy and blessed to hear and tell it over and over again. When Peter wrote his second letter, he said this, "This is my second letter to you, dear brothers, in both of them I have tried to remind you – if you let me – about the facts you already know: facts you learn from the holy prophets and from the apostles who brought you words of our Lord and Savior." (2 Peter 3:1-8)_ A professor where I went to college (EPC) used to say, "Keep your testimony current and alive. Tell it over and over again and never let it grow dim." So, I'm going to give you my testimony, whic
