Jesus must send the Spirit to convict the heart of man. I was watching the movie the Hiding Place the other day when I realize the real reason Corrie Ten Boom and her family had been put into a concentration camp. I always thought it was for hiding the Jews for some reason, but it had to do with her having extra ration cards. I begin to wonder why she and her family had not said she had been saving for a special occasion but instead had no defense. Another though is why was not extra ration cards not hidden. The answer perhaps it just had not occurred that a search would be made of her house. Yet God used her imprisonment to spread the Gospel of Jesus.

There is a point of this message, man laws verse God's Spirit? Where is God's Spirit taking you? We must remember when Christ ascends into heaven Jesus then sends his Spirit as a Comforter, but not always deliver from man's laws. As I watched on Youtube this morning a graduation class graduating by receiving diploma in their car, I realized how much and how many students were organized to receive their diploma in a very unique way that might just become a trend for a few years if coronavirus does not cease to spread. As widespread knowledge of computer are being shaped that spread of classrooms both church world and educational will spread. No longer where do I go to school, but who is the best teacher and can I take her class and get credits through my school will occur. The door to technological world will be like yesterday news, and classrooms, desk, heat and other things needed for large groups will no longer need to be for social gatherings will change to summer heat and fun in the sun and unless at a ski lodge.

What is my point this morning, social distance is going to draw the party crowd out into the world and the world of unsocialites maybe more into their shell then ever before. Those with family member need to take care of those living in a shell and not out in the world. To walk in the world in the computer world is perhaps harder then we can imagine. Never gettting out and socializing, watching tv to shape one's world will miss the love of people like themselves and emotional need for human contact.

Why talk about social issue of isolated world that many can find themselves caught in, well to tell the truth, if you Bible sits on a shelf and you never talk about God, God is then on a shelf and not in your heart. God word is not moving daily in your life with the absence of his word? No but if you know how to read and the Bible is available to you, you making a choice of putting God in isolation. Trust me God is not a God of isolation, he is a God to all mankind. He is a God not in a box or in only your house and heart. God has many mansions, and his mansions are called to speak truth by His Spirit. Who is the antichrist, are those that do not follow God, those relying on money to bale them out of coronavirus pandemic. Money only gets you financially through a pandemic, but can not keep you safe, nor keep you from catching it. You can not buy your way out of a pandemic especially if it is global. The most global pandemic is call sin. The best disinfectant is Jesus and to walk in light of his truth called his word. Yet physical pandemic can take you straight to hell, or to heaven. God protection on those he not calling to go home at this time. You are his miracle if you live through it.

Medicine cures many things, and science can come up with many cures, but they can not cure the problem between God and man without Jesus/the word of God. Spirit uses the word of God in our hearts so we know it is him speaking to us. Yet he also proves who He is by speaking of things yet to come. The law of man and laws of God only teaches us obedience to a government or to one individual faith. Law of good verses bad or evil. When God's Spirit leads it not just about laws and governments, it about aiding someone in distress, providing love, hope and joy to others, and it bearing with the weak. It going beyond the call of obedience of law, but doing the right thing especially if the law is wrong. Daniel walking by the Spirit and praying despite the government since of what was correct is the same Spirit that allowed the mouth of lions to be shut in the lions den. Paul preached the Gospel found Paul and Silas in jail only to have a jailor open the door after an earthquake almost caused him to kill himself. Why because the Gospel was trying to be shut down and God will not allow it. The Gospel will continue to be spread even in last days. God's Spirit remains with or with out a book. God's word will remain despite the church being persecuted.

Do not be afraid of the trial that is set before you, be more afraid of the trial that you do not walk in the leading of the Spirit of God for God's hand is not with you. Be under the protection of God, and not the protection of man. If it not your time to go, add that trial as another victory dance unto the Lord. Obey the Spirit of all truth, the truth and the comforter of our hearts and follow in submission to His Spirit for his way are love, hope and peace.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your Gospel of peace, hope and love. Thank you for your message of your Spirit working in our lives to free us from bondage of the laws of sin and death. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study: Romans 8:1-11 KJV
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
