Ebola virus means, Time to get to Work

GOSPEL ALERT!

Today, October 1, 2014 is now a major milestone in American history. We have now been stricken with the deadly Ebola virus for the first time that all the Government and medical officials said would be a very remote occurrence. Its official, the city of Dallas Texas is now under lock down in certain sections quarantining known individuals that have come in contact with the carrier.

Why is Ebola suddenly in the news?

The deadliest Ebola outbreak in recorded history is happening right now. The outbreak is unprecedented both in the number of people who have gotten sick and in geographic scope. And so far, it's been a long battle that doesn't appear to be slowing down.

The Ebola virus has now hit five countries: Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Senegal. (There is a separate outbreak happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, too.)

The virus — which starts off with flu-like symptoms and sometimes ends with bleeding — has infected more than 5,500 people and killed more than 2,500 since this winter, according to the World Health Organization on September 19, 2014.

Ebola is both rare and very deadly. Since the first outbreak in 1976, Ebola viruses have infected thousands of people and killed roughly 60 percent of them. Symptoms can come on quickly and kill fast.

Journalist David Quammen put it well in a recent New York Times op-ed: "Ebola is more inimical to humans than perhaps any known virus on Earth, except rabies and HIV-1. And it does its damage much faster than either."

I thought I would never have to address a scourge of the earth, or as Dr. Kent Brantly so perfectly described Ebola as “A fire straight from the pit of Hell!” The doctor if you will recall was the first ever American while doing volunteer work in Liberia, West Africa, contacted the virus. The brave doctor was flown home to Atlanta Georgia in a sealed tent for intensive care that through it and much prayer by thousands around the globe, beat the virus and has publicly praised God for it! Here is the video report from Dr. Brantly after he was cured. Click link to view.

This is very serious ladies and gentlemen for there is no vaccine for this virus that takes the life of an average of 5 out of 10 cases! And they keep telling us the virus is not an airborne transmitted virus, yet. I heard a leading physicist today state that the Ebola virus could mutate into an airborne class that would devastate society as we know it! They don't know if and when this will happen.

For reasons other than the danger of contacting this deadly fire, we as disciples of Jesus Christ are not afraid of dying for we have assurance of a home in heaven when we are resurrected from the grave, and that is a very exciting and wonderful day to look forward to. We in America unfortunately or fortunately, however you want to view it, are entering a new mission field at breath taking speed while this hellish virus looms among the lost, and the saved. I know you may think this is an alarmist presentation but I believe God is sending us a sign at this very moment  that we need to get to work and seek and help Him save the lost through the gospel. I don't know any other way to put it.

Are you available?

The Gospel needs to be presented to people you may have neglected and pondered sharing with. And in light of this terrible virus turning into something of the likes we have never seen since the great influenza pandemic of 1918, don't you think they deserve to hear it and have an opportunity to make a decision? Now is the perfect time my friends. God says we are to plant the seed of the gospel and He will make the increase of His kingdom (1 Cor. 3:6,7). I assure you, the labor of the disciple will not go unnoticed by the Lord.

May I encourage you to get organized and meet with brethren, pray and work out a plan to share the gospel with everyone you come in contact with. The vineyard is wide open ready for the picking to the glory of God...

God bless
