Is The Coronavirus A Judgment From God? | Pastor Lutzer

[@johnhuntmorgan142]

"Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions: and the Plague brake in upon them." Psalm 106:29

[@jjzmurphy]

I’ve always respected this man!!!!

[@miaminight9500]

I agree Pastor. I believe that our Father is sending us a message. He’s telling us that our sinful ways has gotten way out of hand, and that satan has blinded most of us. We need a world wide revival, and seek the one who gave us life. God bless 🙏🏻✝️🕊💜

[@ladyj5682]

The Church is getting exposed for the lack for standing against ALL sin versus the ones they want to condemn. I think the political scene is showing the world the hypocrisy of church leaders and the church for the world to see. We need to REPENT and affiliate with no party and make sure our churches are following Hom before we go to the world.

[@graceudofia2777]

God bless you Pastor, I pray that we as Christ followers will take a stand for Jesus to love and support one another as Jesus commands us to do. I'm sending this message to everyone that I know.

[@MoodyChurchMedia]

Yes, it's how the world will know we are Jesus' disciples! Thanks for sharing this message.

[@shaficshackour9396]

Thanks for these wonderful words and about crisises no one else has been placed on this crisis es you are the only person who has discussed it as pastor in Christ Amen

[@timhoke2]

Thank you, pastor Lutzer, for a sound biblical perspective. Much needed!

[@Mr300565]

Strongly agree!!!

[@gloriaelmore9092]

Amen! Thank you.

[@sharonradigan6399]

Thank you for these words. I’ve been wondering why preachers aren’t speaking out about this catastrophe. Pastors don’t need to be tickling the ears, so to speak, but tell the truth.

[@JohnDc]

BTW. Your comment recorded 3X.

[@savtelly3817]

Amen and thank you Pastor.

[@internetuser3213]

Many pastors should be called motivational speakers and that's what people want to be motivated positively in their sins, those kind of pastors are very rich financially on this earth and will remain rich until the white throne judgment.

[@charleschilders6388]

As always right on. Pray for repentance and faith.

[@sundelong2727]

“He died for us so that , whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him .” I have been praying for revival in the world through this pandemic that all those who come to Christ will be saved .

[@classicalretroback]

One of the few pastors who preach the truth about the judgement & salvation of God.

[@apaul1950]

Amen and thank you pastor Lutzer.

[@deznefraser1484]

YES, GOD HAS OUR ATTENTION NOW!

AMEN

[@cathie223]

Thank you Pastor, yes we are all suffering God’s Judgement together. Every crisis we are experiencing whether individual or a mass of people is to our benefit. Wake-up calls God is allowing on our behalf. We must praise The Father for getting our attention and drawing us nearer to understanding His Sovereignty over all matters. The eventual outcome of every man and woman that has breathe is aware of one’s own surroundings and will provide an answer and is held accountable, as each in charge of his or her own decisions. Each person is without hindrance, or coercion, well-informed of God’s creation, His Word, and the very existence of God The Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. Free will is made-known to all, and each one given the chance to accept, acknowledge, seek and serve The Lord, or not. Not one of us is without excuse, and our life a symphony made known to God Himself. Simply put when we die… each person’s life a coda composition if qualified for Heaven, or not. All of God’s Children [believers and non-believers] will be declared by Jesus Christ in the sight of God if one of the elect, justified by faith, and in fairness their eternal reward. Not everyone is going to Heaven. For some, judgement day will be a joyous event, and for others a time of terrible fear and dread. 1 Corinthians 3:8 / The Voice 8 The one who plants is no greater than the one who waters; both will be rewarded based on their work. Romans 1:18-23 / The Message Ignoring God Leads to a Downward Spiral 18-23 But God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand. John 1 / New Living Translation 45 Philip went to look for Nathanael and told him, “We have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about! His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 “Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” “Come and see for yourself,” Philip replied. 47 As they approached, Jesus said, “Now here is a genuine son of Israel-a man of complete integrity.” 48 “How do you know about me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus replied, “I could see you under the fig tree before Philip found you.” 49 Then Nathanael exclaimed, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God-the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus asked him, “Do you believe this just because I told you I had seen you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this.” 51 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.”

In three short months, just like he did with the plagues of Egypt, God is taking away everything we worshipped. God said, you want to worship athletes, I will shut down the stadiums. You want to worship musicians, I will shut down the Civic Center's. You want to worship actors, I will shut down the theaters. You want to worship money, I will shut down the economy and collapse the stock market. You don't want to go to church and worship me, I will make it where you cannot go to church. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Maybe we don't need a vaccine ! We need to take this time of isolation from the distractions of the world, and have a personal Revival where we focus on the only thing in the world that really matters, Jesus.

[@gailtimm3854]

Thank you Pastor. From the beginning of this COVID-19 I thought that God was telling us to get with it. Pray more, read our Bibles more, and Tithe move. And tell more people of God. I pray for an hour each night for people that need God's help in health, in reading the word, and to accept into the hearts. To me what you told us tonight (5-7-20) is very, very, true. God Bless you Pastor.

[@Campsuzesuze]

Amen and I appreciate your sound understanding for what’s real and imagined during this crisis especially when we are bombarded with many opinions.

[@darrenduncan1674]

Brother Lutzer was one of my favorite teachers of all time. Years ago I was addicted to his radio program "Songs In the Night". But more recently I was greatly disappointed and floored when I actually heard him almost justify the enslavement of kidnapped, abused, and dehumanized Africans by proud heartless white supremacist colonials and so called founding fathers of this nation. I was deeply saddened and angered by Lutzer's words uttered during that discourse. He like totally ignored God's hatred of pride and condemnation of people exalting themselves over others and NOT loving their neighbors as they love themselves. Not to mention that God commands we Christian children of His to not only love all of our fellow humans on earth as we love ourselves, regardless of skin color and differences, but that we actually esteem ALL people more highly than we do ourselves, Phillippians 2 :3-4, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition but in lowliness of mind LET EACH ESTEEM OTHERS BETTER THAN HIMSELF. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others." White American slavists from George Washington and all of the others didn't hardly esteem these kidnapped African people more highly than themselves nor did they hardly love them as they loved themselves. Their treatment of them was quite the opposite wouldn't you say Irwin Lutzer? Wouldn't you have to say that white supremacist slavists did the very opposite of "looking out for the interests of others" when it came to their African earthly fellow human neighbors on earth brother Lutzer? How could you mitigate and almost justify this great wickedness by psuedo-christian hard hearted prideful evil people who practiced slavery out of lovelessness for their fellow neighbor on earth and out of "selfish ambition" as stated in that verse? I hope you have read this Mr Lutzer and reply to it.

[@jehovahsabaothgospelmissio3048]

Perfect explanation from Dr Lutzer on Covid-19..

[@j8f8]

just got to know of this man, he’s GOD’s mouthpiece

[@karenbressler6187]

Amen a hundred times Amen I praise God He has a man( you) to tell it like it is

Amen

[@doriswinfree8061]

I really needed this message thank you Pastor.

[@bettybrown865]

Thank You !

[@patiencewalters877]

Amen. 2 Chronicles 7:14

[@karenscott5878]

Sad to say our seminaries and pastors, have been let away from the book of revelation and do not understand it and do not know how to preach it.. When this is the greatest time to understand these books

[@marycone8633]

Thank you for bringing these wonderful messages.Ilistened to you when you were pastor at Moody Church.I thank God for you

[@nyokfuol7616]

that was a word of truth in love

[@jimkadel3003]

God bless you, Pastor Lutzer! Altho it is true that our Nation suffers greatly in this COVID-19 (judgement); this virus, is to me, a Worldwide judgement.

[@plumucci]

You’re right that the giving and withholding of Christian goodness could be playing in. Like many boomers I was saved in the Jesus movement. It was a wonderful message that salvation is a free gift from God, not of works… However, not even a generation later, too many Christian’s feel they don’t have to do anything. (so why should we?). It looks really bad, and the people we are supposed to be serving are seeing a lot of selfishness and judgmental attitudes. We are not saved by our opinions. The issues of abortion and homosexuality are eclipsing all the others having to do with ourselves. Many of us need to give more, not about salvation, but because it is a huge part of “thy kingdom come/thy will be done.” When o when did we lose sight of the fact that this perfect salvation is supposed to cost us EVERYTHING?

[@TheBevandy]

Amen, Amen!

[@thewatcher4552]

❤You Pastor!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏾

[@pwx13]

This is quite clearly a judgement as the world is supernaturally shut down so they can listen to Jesus

[@alscott6872]

Thanks for the message

[@silvermine923]

20 Wisdom is like a woman shouting in the street; she raises her voice in the city squares. 21 She cries out in the noisy street and shouts at the city gates: 22 “You fools, how long will you be foolish? How long will you make fun of wisdom and hate knowledge? 23 If only you had listened when I corrected you, I would have told you what’s in my heart; I would have told you what I am thinking. 24 I called, but you refused to listen; I held out my hand, but you paid no attention. 25 You did not follow my advice and did not listen when I corrected you. 26 So I will laugh when you are in trouble. I will make fun when disaster strikes you, 27 when disaster comes over you like a storm, when trouble strikes you like a whirlwind, when pain and trouble overwhelm you. 28 “Then you will call to me, but I will not answer. You will look for me, but you will not find me. 29 It is because you rejected knowledge and did not choose to respect the Lord. 30 You did not accept my advice, and you rejected my correction. 31 So you will get what you deserve; you will get what you planned for others. 32 Fools will die because they refuse to listen; they will be destroyed because they do not care. 33 But those who listen to me will live in safety and be at peace, without fear of injury.” Proverbs 1

[@daviddeleon6345]

Thus says the Lord God: "In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge". Jeremiah 31: 29-30 Judgment (pestilence): Plot against an anointed of God. "Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them". Jeremiah 11:11 Jeremiah 2:22 Jeremiah 33: 3

[@jamesrbrunkerjr7437]

Pastor does this coinside with Book of Enoch of things to come and I agree Pastor

[@MoodyChurchMedia]

Thanks for your comment! There may be some overlap between what the Book of Enoch describes and God's revealed plan in Scripture for last things. But believers should treat that document as an interesting but fallible historical document. Although the Catholic church includes the book of Enoch in the Apocrypha, believers have not accepted this as Scripture. From the time the book of Enoch was written until now, the historical fallacies and inconsistency with the rest of Scripture have demonstrated it's not the inspired Word of God. Now, Jude 14-15 possibly quotes from the book of Enoch but that doesn't indicate the entire Book of Enoch is inspired, or even true. We can count on God's promises and the prophesies in Scripture and place our confidence in the 66 books of the Bible as sufficient for our Christian life. Pastor Lutzer describes a time during the pandemic when he depended upon God's Word. Let's continue to look to God's Word for today and the future: www.moodymedia.org/blog/2020/03/coronavirus-god-and-you/

Deuteronomy 32:39-40 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 39 “‘Now, see that I, and only I, am God! There is no other God! I put people to death, and I let people live. I can hurt people, and I can make them well. No one can save another person from my power! 40 I raise my hand toward heaven and make this promise. As surely as I live forever, these things will happen!

[@normanwillis6041]

The Apostle Paul suffered many things and we would do well to learn from that. God was not putting Paul under judgement or condemnation. Paul endured as a strong witness to God. Paul's ending was not well on this earth but if he could send us one more letter I am sure all it would read is that IT WAS WORTH IT ALL.

[@Seriesfinalex]

These Judgements are NOT random....

[@michaeldillard1408]

Exodus 15-26

[@karenscott5878]

Get the right Bible!! In Book book of revelation. The mark in your hand or on your hand is a big difference!!! The only Bible not tampered with is the KJV, sorry it’s harder to read... but when you study in The Greek.. the mark is A tattoo that is injected into your system!!! ITS NOT ON!!! Narrow is the way!!!! You must do your homework.. Jesus said clearly: my people die from lack of knowledge!!! Also, he calls out his shepherds (pastors) for leading the sheep to the slaughter... Be discerning

[@Steve-lj8cy]

God's judgment comes at the end of the world as we know it, this is not the end of the world, read your Bibles and ask God to help you understand through the Holy Spirit!!!

[@Steve-lj8cy]

This is NOT a judgement from God!!! God is good all the time, we live in a fallen world!!!

[@lindamckague2251]

Yes God is good but God judges & he does not wait to judge until the end is the world to do it. There is the white throne judgment for non believers, the lost but this is at the end. God is allowing this for a reason but whether it’s judgment or not is debatable. Taking your own advice to read your Bible would be good as well.

[@jehovahsabaothgospelmissio3048]
