If you are like me, I do not know what to believe about this very unique pandemic we are all dealing with. I found the following article by Gatestone Institute to be very insightful and helpful. I have found this group to be very trustworthy. They are not motivated by political persuasion. Please check it out! https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16307/returning-to-schools
Thursday, July 16 – Clearbrook Baptist Church
Topic: “The Spirit of Lawlessness at the End of this Age.”
All those who attend are urged to wear a face mask and to practice social distancing in the meeting room. Someone will be available to assist you with your seating arrangement. All of this could change if our authorities need to change the guidelines due to a new spike in the virus infections. We will send you another notice later as we get closer to the meeting date.
Also! Mike Wingfield will be conducting a 2-hour seminar at Faith Baptist Church, 900 8th Street, Salem, VA on Saturday, June 20th. There will be two sessions, beginning at 10 am and concluding at noon. The topics are: “The Battle for America,” and “When God Judges America.” For directions you can call Pastor Westmoreland at 1-540-353-6357. All who attend are asked to wear face-masks. We will be practicing social distancing in our seating arrangements. This meeting also could change if our authorities need to change the guidelines due to a new spike in the virus infections.
No other meetings or conferences are scheduled at this time. These meetings are local to Mike Wingfield and no significant travel is required for him. We recommend only local people attend these meetings also.
I have been traveling to Israel and have closely followed the news coming from the Middle East for more than 35 years. One of the things I have observed is that the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) is one of the best in the world. They are powerful and almost invincible because the Holy One of Israel has their back (Psalm 121). He has formed Israel for His glory (Isaiah 43:1-7). He has promised that those who war against them will be as nothing (Isaiah 41:10-12). No weapon that is used against them will be fatal to the nation (Isaiah 54:17).
However, there is another reason for Israel’s military success. They are one nation. They fight as a family. If their enemy wins, the enemy can go home. However, if Israel does not win, they do not have a home to go back to. They fight for their mothers, dads, and siblings. I was recently blessed by the following video- youtube.com
In the May PTNews [Newsletter] Mike addressed the fact that the Bible predicts that the end of this age will encounter a world-wide food crisis. The recent pandemic crisis is a clear warning of this impending disaster. Even before the pandemic started, many voices were sounding the warning of an approaching global famine. In a recent article of Breaking News Israel, David Beasley, the executive director of the World Food Program, said, “The world is heading towards widespread famine ‘of biblical proportions’ due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the chief of the UN’s food relief agency warns. He added that we only have a small window to act before hundreds of millions starve …. Over 30 developing worldwide could experience widespread famine. In 10 of those countries, over 1 million people are on the brink of starvation” (Breaking Israel News, April 26, 2020).
Please read the May PTNews. In the June issue, Mike will share some practical insights from the Bible as to how we should respond to living in these last days. We need to cry out to the Lord for wisdom to know how to live, pray, think, hope, prepare, and plan in these unique days. He has promised to give us wisdom (James 1:5). As COVID-19 has illustrated, we are living in unprecedented times. We need to learn how to biblically “occupy” until Jesus comes.
During this coronavirus crisis, God is in control, and is doing some incredible things in the lives of many people. Recently, someone shared the following video with me. I was so blessed,
I wanted to share it with you. It is about a young man in Ireland who had the virus and saw the Lord reach out to him. He sent him a special servant to touch his heart. Please watch the
following video and let God bless you as He did me! youtube.com
