Do you remember this conundrum?

I do. I was in danger of losing my job for not wanting to receive an injection of what I understood to be a spike protein, which would eventually replicate (or multiply itself) throughout the various cells of my body--causing harm in places its ingredients should not be (ingredients that in reality should not be ANYWHERE, in my humble opinion).
I didn't want to take the "vax" because I had done some research on my own (via PubMed, the OpenVAERS website, and fact-checking independent citizen journalists and medical doctors who spoke out against it), and I truly believed that the concoctions in the various injectable elixirs (sold by Moderna, Pfizer, BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), AstraZeneca, Novavax, and other bio-tech companies as "solutions" to the Covid pandemic) were harmful and actually antithetical to medical values.
Thankfully, the organization I worked for took my concerns seriously and equipped us (meaning all workers who objected to the mandate) with valid petitions with which we could appeal to the law for protection, saving our right to keep our employment (and believe me, I was and am very thankful--to the Lord, first, and also to my employer).
Anyway, having watched (the supposedly already pardoned) Dr. Fauci refuse to answer investigative questions at his hearing, by taking the 5th Amendment's protection (which of course, is a wonderful protection afforded to American citizens so they do not incriminate themselves by what they might say), I thought it would be important for us to revisit that horrible time in world history. Our memories can be so short...especially when our minds have been bombarded with way, way too much information in a veery short time (like ours have been from 2020 until this very day--we are still being inundated with incomprehensible things.
False data. True data (but which is which?). Corruption exposed around every corner. Breaking news about unspeakable evils and unexplainable greed. Where does it stop? Are you ready for God to step in? Like the writer of Psalm 94 laments:
How long, O LORD? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
Me, too! I'm tired. But NOT too tired to trust the Almighty God of creation, who has told us over and over in His living Word that He is faithful, even when we have not been. He cannot be unfaithful to His own nature, which is truth & faithfulness, and He has prepared a way for us to live!
He promised to save us from our sins when we respond to the wonderful way His only begotten Son (Jesus the Messiah/Christ) sacrificed His own life for us when we were at a loss. We could never engineer our own solution to the problem we have created for ourselves by sinning against the One who made us.
I urge you to read in the Bible about Jesus' birth, life, and the things He taught people about God the Father.
Then read about His death (a horrific death on a Roman Empire's punishing cross). Then about His burial and the desperate attempts of the governing leaders to squelch His followers' testimonies about His miracles and the marvelous light He shed for them so they could begin to see the truth and discern it from the lies they had been taught through the schemes of the wicked. The tricks of God's mortal enemy, Satan. Also known as the devil. The adversary. The accuser. The father of lies...the prince of this world. Who is also the ruler of this fallen world... no wonder we are tired! We struggle within ourselves all the time, it seems, in what is a SPIRITUAL battle....
But. GOD!
God the Father raised God the Son up from the dead. Jesus is alive today!!!
What does this mean? It means Jesus, Son of God--the "only begotten son" of John 3:16--conquered our final enemy, humankind's greatest fear: Death. Yes, Jesus defeated the grave on our behalf!
And, because God so loves us all, He relentlessly (yet gently) invites us to come to Him, and by the blood of Jesus (poured out for us all on that cross), be reconciled to Him. If we choose to follow Jesus, we choose to die with Him (die to our sinful ways of life) in baptism, and to be raised with Him to walk in newness of life, having our names written in heaven, where the Bible tells us we will live eternally with God.
There's no better news!
They're bad. There's no denying it. Greedy people, who love money and power more than anything, have committed crimes against humanity. These so-called vaccines were used in an evil scheme to harm. These were physical weapons, used by physical people whose evil desires lead them to sin in an effort to gain what they love(d) most in this world.
But they fail. True, they can do physical harm. Weapons do often take casualties. But believers are told that we do not need to fear our enemies. The Lord Jesus said, “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."
Listen, we all have desires that do not fall within the parameters God has set in place for us. Those walls are for our good. They're to keep us safe. Protected from the enemy. When we find a way to climb over, crawl under, or break through them in order to get whatever it is that we think we want so badly, we mess up. When I mess up, my most important thing now, is to repent--turn away from allowing that desire to rule me. And it's the same for you when you mess up. God will always help us to do what's right. It's why He sent Jesus to earth, after all. So that we migh have life in Him. He guides us through His holy Word, through our consciences, through providence (e.g. circumstaances, events, etc.), and by His holy Spirit (who will come to live inside of you when you respond to Jesus' calling according to the gospel
If you are still living in sin, wanting out of your lifestyle, but feeling as though there is no way out, I hope you hear this, and instead of continuing to demonstrate your refusal to trust God's guidance about the things that delight you (because that's what you are doing--you're showing God that you believe your way is better than His), I hope you realize He has thrown you a precious lifeline. Grab it! Your Creator loves you and wants to save you.
