5W and taking every thought captive

For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

2 Corinthians 10:3‭-‬5 ESV

http://bible.com/59/2co.10.3-5.ESV

What does 5W mean? Firstly, we know that we can use the sword of the Spirit in Ephesians to counter the enemies lies e.g. enemy says “eat two 12 inch pizzas all to yourself” and you say “the thief came only to kill steal and destroy but Jesus came to give me life and life in abundance” as you would get big belly ache. Sometimes though the enemy will put a psychological knot in your head and you will even feel tension there. The enemy might make you feel emotional about something that is not real, say its your fault and then you are tensed up with a guilt loop. The devil is the author of confusion so if you are ever faced with a mind knot, then untie it using 5W. 5W is writing down who, what, why, when and where. Remember you will not be attacked beyond what you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). This post might be appropriate for people who are stuck indoors atm. An example. It has to be a mind loop or knot. I might have to update with a better example.

Who – the devil lieing to me

What – the lie I am guilty for thinking of lots of chocolate, saying its only chocolate and then resisting chocolate when actually its time for a small treat

Why – as the devil wants to hurt everyone and me

When – when you need to treat yourself

Where – outside a chocolate shop

Answer – eat chocolate. No, really lol its to understand the mind knot which then unties it as the knot is a knot in your understanding and thinking.

Shalom, the principle is there at least, its just thinking of a good example.

Shalom, nom, nom nom

Remember HOPE. It means Hold On Pain Ends. Stand on the Word in your storms and remember that there may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning. Coffee and bible quality time with God in the morning in the secret place.

5W is useful for planning things too. It helps you to see the task or obstacle with a clearer perspective.

You can just trust the Lord to guide you through things but remember that He likes it too when you are wise. That is the reason for the book of Proverbs. So get a good balance of faith and wisdom.

Hi guys, got some top tips here on how to look after you mental health. Always a must and very much so if another lockdown comes along i.e. lockdowns are a bit of a change to peoples normal routine and this can have a negative effect on mental health.

I will give the top tips as mental health is real and needs the amazing strategies that we have developed in this day and age but I will say that my belief is that mental health (e.g. a chemical imbalance in the brain) usually due to a spiritual cause. I always say that the days of Genesis creation are a metaphor for the millions of years of the theory of evolution. The bible being the spiritual why and evolution as the how. Why and how then. We treat a symptom when we treat mental health and unless we tackle the spiritual route cause, we will find that other symptoms pop up when we treat them. But whats wrong with doing both? Nothing:

• Mindfullness meditation. This is a real game changer. Look up how to do it online. We can apply this way of relaxing and living in the here and now to our daily lives easily e.g. you can even be mindful about eating food. I do it lots and I feel really good from it. Also research how you can stimulate your vegas nerve e.g. by things like doing Tai Chi.

• Lots of water every day as science says that we are composed of a high ratio of water. Get a water filter to get the bad stuff out, even better. Limit the amount of caffiene you have so you can maintain a good sleep pattern. Have decaf coffee and tea and imagine it is caffinated – it works.

• Lookup the benefits of tumeric and maintaining homeostasis in your body.

• Keep your house tidy and organised as I always say that a tidy person has a tidy mind.

• Research valid mental health blogs and mental health valid sources too. Things likr Maslows Hierarchy of need.

• A good solid breakfast, lunch and dinner with a balanced diet. Lookup a balanced diet chart. Helps to have one cooked meal a day at least. Have a jacket spud and change the topping each time so it does not get boring. Jacket spud make you strong 😀 Limit your amount of junk food or even have no junk food at all e.g. like crisps and chocolate. You will feel better for it and there is actually lots of delicious healthy food that you can get instead. Try and do some healthy cooking. Cooking is fun and I make a healthy tuna pasta bake sometimes with some left over for the next day 😀

• Lots of exercise. I do all of these points but I find that exercise is a real game changer. It can make you feel really good. Check out 1 Timothy 4:7-9 as exercise is even of use next to Godliness. If you find it hard to get yourself to go out for a cycle then just force yourself to do 5 minutes and then you find you do 45 minutes. The bath is 5 times nicer when you get back in Winter. If it is jogging and you do not feel like then cleverly get yourself to do it by taking small steps to get out e.g. leave your trainers out in an easy place in the house, clear your mind and just get your trainers on, and when you are out make sure you pace it at first and then pick speed. The feel good benefits are more than the effort it takes to do it.

• A good sleep pattern and sleep hygiene with things like lavendar oil on your pillow.

• Lots of fresh air and enjoying yourself out doors in the forest.

• Find a medium sized box at home and put things in it that make you happy e.g. your favorite music, nice smelling candles, photos or items that remind yourself of happy times. Be creative and use this box to help you feel happy whenever you get a bit down 🙂💚❤💛🧡

• Remember to cuddle up with yours pets at home. This is therapeutic. Do not let them blackmail for tasty treats though lol 😀🐈❤💛💚🧡
• Make sure you remember to have fun and enjoy yourself. Sometimes you could be trying really hard to look after yourself but actually the best thing for you is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If you cannot think of anything fun to do then brainstorm a list on paper. Prudently brainstorm a list for future fun too 💚💛😀❤
• When you are laying in bed and just about to go to sleep, run through in your mind some of the things you have done in the day. This helps your memory but it is also healthy for your brain before sleep. It helps restful sleep. Just think of the good bits or if there are no good bits then think how Jesus got you through another day and remember to research future grace. Trials strength

Make sure you rationalize atm. If you smile and say hello to someone you know in the street and they ignore you then consider that it is nothing personal but instead the fear inside them that is a result of the Corona virus lockdown.

I like to rationalize when things seem strange e.g. if someone I know passes by me the street and does not say hello, then I will think to myself that they either did not see me, they are having a bad day or they or they are grumpy with me. I have learnt that it is always what I conclude, the first two. Thats after having a coffee and chat with them later in the week.

If you get niggles or worrying questions in your mind then get an a4 piece of paper, write your question at the top, write reasons for and against on each side of a line drawn down the middle. Score each reason and add up the number at the bottom. When you see the score for how silly it was, you believe the truth and feel fine.

These are just a few top tips that I use, but things like this can bring you real quality of life. In faith I believe that God taught me these things along the way. Dont forget that Jesus was the great physician.

I recommend the book The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steven Peters. Look after your basic needs like sleep and territory etc so that your inner animal Chimp does not start to complain. You manage your inner Chimp with your human AKA reasonable, sensible selve and autopilots in your memory AKA your Computer. The Word is very human therefore when we use the sword of the Spirit on our Chimp, we find it works very well. Infact I have a theory that our Chimps are something to do with our sin. Take a read. A bit of science and faith working togethor here maybe.

Selah

Mental health or not, if you are in a situation where you need a fleece sign (do not test God. Read what bible says), then discern very carefully if the sign is Jesus, just you or instead the enemy. Signs are rare and not everything is a sign please. If you think it is a Jesus sign in faith then consider please if it is inline with the bible and sensible with wisdom. Remember that Jesus is love for this and everything.

If you are a bit worried about doing mindfullness then consider doing your relaxation time by closing your eyes and thinking in your mind of the bible verses with their references that you know. Just focus on these in a relaxed way and nothing else. ❤💛💚🧡🙂

Sunny Summer weather is getting nearer. Let the sun clear your head and enjoy your day.

This needs to happen

Spread the Gospel, even just the name of Jesus. People can look at a bible when they get back home. They may just have to be reminded that He exists.

Well guys, we have something global going on, there are many fires and there are locusts under reported.

I could be wrong but as a prudent Christian I will say give it the benefit of the doubt just incase. If it is the end then you would do better this way by far.

So what about all the people who do not have Jesus, what are they going to do?

There may be some people who do not even know who He is.

So everyone needs to know that in their desperate need if it is the end, that they have someone who loves them who they can call upon for help.

Think about how you can gently but cleverly do this e.g. in a conversation deliberatly say “Jesus loves me this I know” or “the bible says Jesus loves me” so not non-believers over hear you. They remember what you said and have a friend to pray to when it gets tough for them.

Think of other clever ways. These few words remembered by someone could help them so so much. Doing it cleverly like this could be a game changer.

Obviously be wise and sensible about this. Do not put yourself at risk or others.

Cleverly spread even just the name though.

Selah

If someone is begging you to help them, then what does God do when you do not help that person and instead hurt them?

We should always remember history to let us live prudently for today.

I had a conversation with someone who believed that any belief you hold should be tolerated, even Fascism. To me it is obvious that if we tolerated Fascism in the two world wars then that person would not have the choice to believe anything but Fascism. No choice of religion or freedom at all.

We need to remember the lessons of history. This is very important.

I believe that if Hitler had of won, then the devil would have come down to earth. The devil is not your friend:

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

The thief is the devil and he will steal all of your joy, infact he is responsible for all of the pain that you and your loved ones have ever felt. Jesus came to give you life and life to the full.

The biggest lie the devil has ever convinced us of, is that he does not exist. This is similar to why we forget the vital lessons of history. He is a deceiver. Do you not think that the Father of lies would lie to you.

The pandemic is unusual, we have fires and locusts. I am not saying that it is the end, but I will say that even if it looks a bit like it, then we should give it the benefit of the doubt and do what the bible says we should do in end times as it is the bible that we understand end times from.

Hitler got into power when people were desperate for hope. He fooled them and his evil led to mass suffering. Let us not get into a situation where we are again desperate. Lets be prudent.

Proverbs 27:12 The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

Check out this blog for how we can be prudent i.e. turning back to Jesus and then remaining in the truth:

John14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

We should always pray that world war 3 does not happen for the book of Revelation in the bible. This is just in case that war is not the right interpretation of it. The bible is flawless and we do not add or take away from it at all. What I mean is that we should definetly give praying about this the benefit of the doubt. Imagine if the prayers of the saints stopped it or if we did not pray, it happened. This book could be imagery for a Christian’s personal revelation of God instead.

Remember to pray in this order for JOY; Jesus, Other, You. Then you get JOY.

Jesus loves everyone and He even has mercy on the wicked. He has to stop the wicked too though, so that people are safe. He loves everyone. That is why war makes Him cry as we would cry a lot in a war. Lets keep our heads and keep our hearts in this time and make sure that we stay out of trouble by remembering the lessons of history.

John 8:44 says that Satan is the Father of lies. Read it and see. There is a lot of confusion about in the world at this time. This is because of Satan, the devil who is the author of confusion. On the other hand, Jesus is the author of peace and love:

2 Timothy 1:7 For Jesus has not given us a spirit of fear (confusion), but of power, love and a sound mind.

It is as simple as two words sometimes. These two words are “how” and “why”. This principle has been shown on other places on this blog e.g. evolution being vast periods of time of the world’s growth, “how”, and the days of creation in the book of Genesis as the “why” for each of these periods. Spiritual being at the top of the hierarchy for “why”, flowing down into a scientifically explained manifestation as the “how”.

So this confusion in the world. I do not know if we are in the last days, and we should try our very best to stop things going pear shaped in the world please. I have explained the Genesis “how” and “why”. Possibly our current times are the book of Revelation “why” and confusion manifested as “how”. The Revelation timing is just a theory though and we should be sensible and try our best to stop all of this suffering. Would not our best bet be trust in the Word, the bible where these things are foretold.

Again, I do not know if it is the end, but whatever we do, we must try our best to stop these bad things happening. In Jesus’ strength we can do this and not in our own strength.

2 Timothy 1:7 and John 8:44 are the chalk and cheese verses that we would do well to hold onto atm.

Dear beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I want to give the following warning message below in love as you are wonderful and beautiful Christians that Jesus loves and wants to keep on the right path.

You are a beautiful and precious Christian who shines God’s truth and love into this hurting world. Please look after yourself. Understanding will guard you, so see Proverbs 2:6. Spiritual things are priority over worldly cures not that they do not help. The bible first then. Know your verses and stand on the facts of the Word of God. Romans 10:17 says that faith comes through hearing the Word of God, the bible so learning verses is a very big help. Learning the reference for the verse can be hard though. A good way is to use clever and inventive memory cues for the references e.g. in John 17:17 “sanctify them by your truth, your word is truth” the reference has two 17s and the verse says “truth” twice. This actually helps you to remember the reference. Be inventive for other refs, se patterns in the numbers. Only for remembering the refs, and not wild number theories please.

IMO, society at the moment is in a bad state as it has lost its grip on truth, the bible. I think it is worse now than it has been for a long time e.g. gay marraige, many tempting worldy material goods, young people that do not listen to their parents to name a few.

Do not be tempted by the world’s vast material temptations. They actually will not make your soul feel good like the whisper of “I love you” from Jesus, the sweetest thing in hard or good times in fact. You can have a big lobster on a cruise ship with strive or you can have chicken soup for your soul in a humble cafe. People can be twice as happy with a Skoda as apposed to a Ferrari. Lol but it is actually true. Wait theres a proverb for that and a bit in 1 John. Hang on:

Better is a dry morsel with quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.
Proverbs 17:1 ESV

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:15 ESV

I can see this in the UK very much.

Lockdown produces fear within the non-believer which can also lead to mental health problems. This and the political situation can make people less reasonable.

Please be vigilant and remember that the Word of God is the truth to stand on, not feelings, not another Gospel, the facts of the Word.

Please be wise and prudent, do not go off the path by letting your heart carelessly take on sin like homosexuality. The world is pushing homosexuality powerfully ATM, so do not fall into that trap. The bible warns a lot about this and other ways of going off the path.

Obviously we love and respect gay people but remember that the bible is the Word and the Word is Jesus thus it is so so important that we keep to this.

Gay people have a choice and we should not force them to believe. If they are willing to listen to us then that is their freewill choice that we should respect and be gentle with. Be wise, it is strength as wisdom is how God made the world and sees the world.

With love,
Shalom

As Christians we should go to the bible first always before getting ourselves in trouble by finding knowledge in other writings. Secular or even non-secular knowledge may have some truths but it can also get you in you trouble as its truth might make you believe its lies e.g. there is some truth in other Holy books of other religions but do not let these truths lead you away to another gospel. Jesus Christ is the way truth and the life. Secular understanding may make you justify homosexuality in your heart for this day and age but the Word, the bible who is Jesus is timeless and says that homosexuality is wrong. As stated before, God loves gay people and I believe He has a special love for them. Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes to the Father accept through me. John 14:6

Read your bible to get faith to receive wisdom from God. When you have wisdom you will be a lot safer in these confusing times as with wisdom you will be more able to understand what is going on.

Sometimes people are a bit mean to Christians. It says that in the bible at 2 Timothy 3:12.

First of all, God has a special love for gay people and that is the actual reason He says hard to take things in the bible about homosexuality i.e. He warns them of eternal things as He loves them. I am scared of what I will get for posting this. I see a gay person like any other human who has any other sin problem. No partiality and no judging.

I am an abuse victim and I stuggle with homosexuality. I also had mental health problems which I believe were because of it. We stopped believing in the UK what I just said in 1974 but I believe that the mental health ‘how’ is for the bible ‘why’ just like the separate years of Genesis being a metaphor for millions of years of evolution.

I like the company of gay people and find them fun i.e. camp out humor even though I think it is wrong. I enjoy having coffee with people like this and if they do not want to talk about religion, then thats fine with me. We have free will and that is important.

My view is a view that is gentle and we live in a democracy.

I believe that traditional marraige and the traditional family unit, holds society togethor.

I think that a persons perception of reality becomes richer and more enjoyable when they do not struggle with this. This is what was lost in 1974.

I would have a friend who is gay just as much as a friend who is not.

Gay rights campaigners have become too powerful thus Brothers and Sisters in Christ I want you to remember what the Word of God says about this, not what the world says.

I have a voice like anyone else and I mean what I say with respect. It is your choice and there is no pressure but I want to let you become aware that some understanding has been lost in history.

Guys I was thinking that some people might be afraid at the moment because of what is going on in the world with the Corona virus and that making or buying face masks with nice colourful designs would make people feel a bit better.

I think that the best idea would be to wear a mask that shows your personality as a lot of us is hidden behind the masks.

If nice colourful masks which show our personality became a new big thing that catches on then I think it would help a lot as so much of our communication is through body language.

If a lot is body language then a massive lot is the mouth.

Look up the stats for how much of our communication is non-verbal.

Top tip: when you are out and about in town, put your mask around your lower arm so that when you go in a shop you remember it easily.

Top tip: have a couple of spare masks incase you lose one or someone else needs one (if it is clean and un-used that it).

Top tip: if you make your own masks then use a safety pin on the straps to get a feel for your size. When you have adjusted it to fit you then you can sew the strap.

Top tip: put a book in your bag before you go out shopping so that when you are in a queue, you can easily pass the time by reading.

Remember though, if you cannot show your smile it is okay as Jesus is looking more importantly at what is inside. He is looking at your heart to see if you love Him and your neighbour as He loves you a lot and these two are the greatest commandments. Pray to Jesus and He will help you. Got to mean it though guys.

❤🧡💛💚😀💙💛

Some people are anxious because of the lockdowns thus their body language and yours might be a bit defensive. Now you have read this, you can understand people that are like that and yourself. When we understand each other, there is no reason to be anxious and thus our body language changes to peace instead.

Jesus is the main thing (person) that keeps us safe BTW.

The thing that I speak of is wisdom though. Wisdom helps to keep you safe when things are going pear shaped. Wisdom is also pleasant when things are not stormy.

Now wisdom is how God sees the world and if we can get wisdom then we can be how God wants us to be. Joyfuls 🙂

A good way to become wise is to:

1. Read the bible.
2. Then apply the verses in your life.
3. Observe it work e.g. you get blessing come back to you after giving to the poor. Luke 6:38.
4. You see the world clearer now therefore you also observe the wicked.

This is a good way to get wisdom. Jesus give us wisdom and Jesus is the bible as the bible is the Word. See Proverbs 2:6.

There are many ways that wisdom can keep you safe e.g. you can be prudent:

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Proverbs 27:12 ESV

So with the four steps above, you could apply this verse by buying lots of pasta before another Corona wave.

The book of Proverbs is in the center of the bible. Proverbs is wisdom literature and IMO is like a guide to the bible.

We need faith, and even though wisdom comes through faith, we need both. We can pray powerful prayers in faith for a fake charity as we did not have the wisdom to discern that it was a fake charity. Here, faith would be of no use without wisdom.

We can see if we are wise if we become listeners in a conversation. Not people who just want to express their own opinion. I struggle with this so your not the only one, but sometimes I do it and I know it is right. It is the listeners that learn more and because they are humble, God favours them. Maybe the favour is strength from what they learn. The Proverb below is only a principle as I would never call someone a fool.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Proverbs 18:2 ESV

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6 ESV

Maybe the favour from humility to listen is the strength from what you learn on listening.

We need wisdom for sure and wisdom comes through faith. Faith in Jesus.

Wisdom is from God, and from his lips comes knowledge and understanding Proverbs 2:6

Please do not become unspiritual though. We need a balance of faith and wisdom. You might find that the ratio changes over time in different situations e.g. when you first start a new job, God may put your hedge up (faith) until He teaches you the wisdom to cope more for yourself.

In tricky situations we need wisdom and also prudence which is part of wisdom can stop these situations happening in the first place.

Faith and Wisdom (FaW) compliment each other e.g. you can be prudent for when you see in the future that you might lack faith, or praise God to have faith to pray for wisdom when you need it.

First of all, being a Christian and having a relationship with Jesus is amazing. The things of this world grow strangely dim and your heart finds what it needs; acceptance, significance and security as you sync with your loving Father and creator God.

Here are a few top wisdomfortoday non-Christian posts:

If you are new to Christianity or you are just getting interested, then think about and do the following things:

• Being a Christian is about having a relationship with Jesus through faith and following Him. It will help you if you understand what this means so do research from valid Christian sources to find out what it is all about.
• Have regular coffees with a truly loving Christian who believes the bible and be nice and not prying. Learn from them. Please do not take advantage. Brothers and Sisters please be wise to who actually genuinely wants help and who does not. Obviously there are minions in the world BUT also in the church too to be fair. Obviously we know that the world is not completely full of Mother Theresa’s. Ask loving Christians where abouts in the bible to start from.
• Remember and memorize what you have learnt in the two above points as this will make things easier. Pen and paper unless you have a good memory anyway.
• Try not to be nervous, if you find a true Christian then they will bless you. Ask them about their testimony, the Gospel, how they recieved forgiveness for mischief and Jesus love.
• Ask about receiving the Holy Spirit and praying the sinners prayer as none of us are perfect. That includes me very much. Only do this when you feel comfortable and understand what is being said.
• Have a go at praising God ❤😃. Maybe look at nature like a beautiful sunset and tell Him how cool He is for making it.

Being a Christian can be hard sometimes. We learn to become new people so that takes a bit of work. We have God on our side though and so as He is love, His blessings far out weigh the struggles.

There is a whole new world of love for you in Jesus Christ. He paid for all of our naughtiness at the cross and is waiting with open arms to give you a big spiritual cuddle.

But if God is all powerful, then how does He allow suffering? The bible says that heaven is for eternity and that this life is a max of 120 years. Do you see the math for that, can you see that this is a short time of testing, or birth pains like the bible says.

I believe that in the spiritual realms in God’s lounge, He has pictures of you on His mantel piece of when you were happy and He has collected your sad tears in a bottle that He treats as sacred. The bible says clearly that God is just love, His feelings toward you are just love and Father God just wants to wrap you in His warm powerful arms of love and bless you home to heaven.

Sabrina the pussy cat has done her best to interfer with this post, but through the power of Jesus I have overcome and been triumphant. Possibly have a quick look at the ‘Recent labradoodle trouble’ post 🧡🐈💚❤😃

Prudence and her ways are a good thing to embrace for the dates that the world sees changes.

The 15th of June is when non-essential shops are to open again therefore the British being the British, or any other nationality are likely to want to have a break from the isolation of lockdown and go shopping or just generaly go out more.

For the above, I want you to hold onto the Proverb below. I will say why.

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
Proverbs 27:12 ESV

I want you to hold onto this Proverb as I predict that things might be quite different after the lockdown eases e.g.

• Many people may have developed mental health problems during isolation and may not be as reasonable. Be vigilant and love them back. Proverbs 18:21.
• People may take it upon themselves to tell you what not to do or what to do when really that is not their job. They think they are being useful but instead they stir up friction. Be patient and love them back. Proverbs 18:21 again.
• Please can you yourself think of other ways that you need to be careful as the lockdown eases and things change again. If you think of it yourself then you will learn it better and also have confidence in your intelligence which is then double prudence.

I hope things will be fine and we should be wise all the time anyway e.g. we play the right worship for Jesus at the right time, we help Others like the homeless with decaf drinks and not money to spend on drugs, and You look after yourself as God loves you.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
Proverbs 9:12 ESV

You have a better chance of being at peace if you go shopping a few days or a week after the lockdown eases on the 15th. It will be less busy and not a big rush.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Proverbs 3:17 ESV

Remember that you can always pray for wisdom as:

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
James 1:5 ESV

I also put the word discernment in the title of this post. I did that because at the moment in lockdown we also need to discern what we are reading on the Internet. News and other information on the Internet can be quite misleading therefore to get a better chance of getting the right answer we should type in the same question but get an answer from a range of sources e.g. see what the news about climate change is from three different news websites. This can save getting the wrong information which then saves you from worrying about nothing. Climate change is not nothing. I did not mean it that way.

Please think carefully before you make decisions that affect people. There is a bit of deception going on at the moment so just do what the bible says (nothing more, nothing less) and you cannot go wrong e.g. do not be fooled into thinking about what people think of you too much as that is fear of man, instead consider that the bible says it only counts what God sees.

Top tip: have a couple of spare masks incase you lose one or someone else needs one (if it is clean and un-used that is).

Top tip: if you make your own masks then use a safety pin on the straps to get a feel for your size. When you have adjusted it to fit you then you can sew the strap.

Top tip: put a book in your bag before you go out shopping so that when you are in a queue, you can easily pass the time by reading.

Beware of anyone anywhere who teaches a different Gospel. False teachers twist the bible and cause a lot of problems within society. Stand on the Word of God. The facts.

That is one of the problems or the problem; society is losing its grip on truth e.g. we forget what the bible is saying about traditional marraige and thus one of the main fundementals of society is under threat.

Write yourself out a plan with ordered points and consider who, what, why, when and where. Do this Brothers and Sisters please for when things might get tricky. This Proverb:

The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
Proverbs 21:5 ESV

If you ever read signs that you think are from God then be very careful as they are rare. The bible says that God will give signs but discern with faith and wisdom whilst being sensible please i.e. so that they dont hurt or put at risk you or others. God is love so this is what He wants.
