2 Chronicles 7:13-14 and Exodus 12
The year 2020 will stand forever as a year that has shaken the world
with many signs and wonders that will stand in the minds of all. Echoed in 2 Chronicles 7:13 if I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if i send the pestilence among my people. On January 28 Jamaica was struck with a 7.7 magnitude earthquake which triggered a 0.4 tsunami in the Cayman Islands which signaled the first of many major signs. Then striking even closer home in
Mandeville Manchester, Jamaica fire gutted Heaven on February 21…. lol Heavens
Gas Station leaving many severely burned and one dead who is a relative of my

On March 13 what other parts of the world were grappling with

seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

the ten plagues of Egypt yet there’s one Disastrous Evil or Affliction that stands
out even more than any other and it’s that of the 10th plague death
of the first born. If all these events continue to unfold where will we stand. Will
we be found of the Lords side or will we be like the Pharaoh of Egypt who
failed to heed the cry of Moses to release the children of Israel. He paid what
could be seen for many the loss of a son; what will you be willing to lose to
gain the REST OF THE LORD-GOSHEN.
Like the children of Israel were shielded from this 10th and
other plagues we too as children of God should ensure our dwellings have the
blood of the slain lamb on the doorposts. But we should have it placed on our
heart. The blood/mark of Christ should be visible to all during this period of
crisis because though the world is in crisis, we know that Christ is our….
