Be ye Christ covered, not face covered!

Going through the hustle and bustle in this hectic life of today's world, I come to the conclusion that more and more people (including professing Christians) put up with the corrupt society lead by God-rejecting governmental laws. There are no longer solid, godly values around. For real Christians, this world gets more alienated from them, and that is because the society simply is not subject to the word of God.
The real problem that we are currently facing is not a matter of who is right and who is wrong, who is the greatest or who is the worst, but a more intricate and deeper one: face covering.
Isn't it scary to notice that wherever you go, there are people whose identities are... hidden?
That's right! HIDDEN! Not "hidden" so that they "protect" themselves from a supposed destructive virus (if you may), but hidden from the whole world, from the authenticity of a genuine life as God intended for us. It deeply hurts me when people do not search out matters, when people do not study.
Proverbs 25:2, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Many studies do not make sense, mockery after mockery on mass media about all this COVID-19 plandemic, contradictions, uncertainties, different regulations, laws, stolen freedoms, so many other odd rules and various medical studies published.
Why are people so afraid of a so-called deadly virus (even though the rate of survival is 99%), than being terrified about their eternal damnation? Why are they face covered when they are not Christ covered? Do not do the devil a service by putting up with all this mess around you.
Dear reader, ask yourself, "Am I saved?" Let us look closer at what the Bible teaches about this,
Ephesians 6:11-17, Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Do you have the WHOLE armour of God upon you? Are you covered by the blood of the Lamb? The Old Testament shows a great picture of covering in contrast with this irrelevant, foolish counterfeit,
Exodus 12:7, And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
This is not a preacher saying that, nor a prophet, but GOD HIMSELF telling this to the Israelites who were captives in Egypt. Moreover, it was also a prophecy which came to pass, for all the Egyptians' firstborns died that night, being without protection, without the covering that God required. What was the covering? It was the blood of an innocent lamb,
Exodus 12:3-5, Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
It was a picture of salvation for what was to come. Jesus Christ Himself is called the Lamb of God. The forerunner to Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, claims openly and outwardly,
John 1:29, The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Matthew 26:26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Hebrews 10:19-20 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Are you COVERED? Do you have the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF JESUS CHRIST?
Isaiah 59:17, He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
And a helmet of salvation on His head;
And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing
And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.
By repenting and believing in the name of Jesus Christ you no longer need to worry about death. Jesus Christ rose the third day BODILY from the dead to prove to you that He is God and by Him you have eternal life in Heaven with Him and all His saints,
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
John 11:25, Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Ask yourself again, "Am I covered?", "Am I saved?"
The Gospel is so simple, so genuine, so true! God does all the work in you and He's been patient with us all,
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
It is your choice. God does not push anyone. Do you still need the counterfeit temporary covering that kills you slowly but surely, or do you want to smell the fresh fragrance of eternal glory of the Righteousness and Holiness of God?
Repent and believe the Gospel as long as you still have time! Face masks do not bring you salvation, but the Righteousness of Jesus Christ does!
Masks in themselves do not make sense in you wearing them in your everyday life, not to mention the vaccine. I assure you, dear reader, that the Holy Ghost in us is what we need to be protected against disease. In Numbers 12 Miriam was leprous as a result of her rebellion against God, so God did not give leprosy to all the people.
Numbers 12:10-14 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
Regardless of what happens, God is in control!
Moreover, Deuteronomy 7:15 tells us that the LORD is the only one Who protects us against plagues,
And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
So, do you take the vaccine or the Holy Spirit? Do you prefer to have a false protection which does not guarantee 100% survival, or do you have the eternal protection from God?
Masks do not work, vaccines are just an experiment performed on people worse than on animals. Satan has many cunning devices to counterfeit everything God made only to deceive people’s wicked hearts. Mind that Lucifer was created perfect in wisdom and beauty,
Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Despite this, he lacks understanding. Wisdom and knowledge are not enough. The Bible requires us to have understanding,
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Wisdom without understanding is dead, as well as faith without works is dead. God gives us discernment exactly as Jesus Christ said,
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Only God Himself can interpret His word and no one else. His Spirit is the One assisting us in getting the knowledge and the understanding we need when it comes to dealing with worldly issues filtered through Biblical lenses.
2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Genesis 40:8, And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
Having this in view, what does God tell you when it comes to hiding your face in a mask? Would you have greeted the Lord Himself in His earthly ministry with your face covered? Wouldn’t you underestimate His great power since He is the Creator of everything and is under His control?
Actually, covering in the scriptures is related to the Mercy Seat in the tabernacle which The Lord commanded to be made in a selective way,
Exodus 25:17-22 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat. And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof. And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
God in His perfect state, in His Holiness, demands the Mercy Seat to be covered by the wings of the 2 cherubs. The cherubs are a covering for God’s throne. In the same manner, a family should be covered by Jesus Christ: the children subject to the wife, the wife subject to the husband, and the husband subject to Christ.
That is why the wife needs to have her head covered,
1 Corinthians 11:5-6 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
Covering in the Bible is NOT about protecting yourself against a virus, but an image of the glory of God.
As Christians, we are supposed to be the light of the world in this dark society we live in. Let us share the Gospel in love the same way Jesus Christ commands us,
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Let us obey the Biblical command and face this "infectious disease" of ungodly face covering with the WHOLE armour of God and with an open face,
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
With an open heart and face,
Denisa
