Change in the atmosphere

[Dave Darling]

I think we will see a change in things in the country and around the world when the churches are allowed to meet again in worship, something happens in the atmosphere when God's people get together and worship Him! There may be reduced cases of anxiety and depression in people and less crime along with increased peace and angelic activity among other things . I could feel something change when the state went on lockdown, when things are reversed the situation might start looking up!

What we've seen is increased activity in the lockdown, it just has a different face. Pastors and leaders are reaching people at home in small groups several times a week instead of just Sunday for instance, the messages go out to the entire world vs a single congregation because increased live streaming. The digital age has availed itself as useful for a change. Go back to church yes but most pastors are saying they hope not just as before the pandemic, the Lord has met us in this situation and is using it. We see people coming to Christ in areas where they wouldn't even listen before. It's been a big boon for evangelizing in pairs keeping 6-10ft distance using masks. We are hearing this world wide from our pastors on the mission fields, not just around here. If nothing else people have had time to listen and a willingness to have prayer times. So ya, while some get a warm fuzzy feeling because they soon might meet in buildings again ( the old familiar way) God doesn't stop working because a church door is shut. In adversity we rise to His wishes. We have 740 churches world wide, we haven't gotten any news to the contrary from those who have called back home in this time.
