Closed (Hosea 4)

Hos 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

As of this Sunday and we don't know for exactly how long the NSW Government has decided that every place of worship in the entire State of NSW is now closed to the Public.

Today on Sunday the 15th of August it is illegal to gather as believers in Jesus Christ together to worship the Lord, hear the Word and encourage one another across our State.

This means that today, people who wish to gather for prayer, preaching and fellowship in Churches are forbidden to do so in NSW. This ban is because of the Coronavirus in our State.

Worship centers are closed by Law but Wine Shops are open. Our Tabernacle must remain closed but the Tobacconist can open.

Never in our history have all the established Churches in our State been shut? Today is a first, in a couple of hundred years.

Not once in our history has the Government mandated that every Church door in this State be shut on a Sunday.

This Nation is in need of a Miracle. This Nation needs prayer… like never before.

We have a much greater disease afflicting our nation than the Corona-virus, it is the disease of sin and rebellion against the God who made us.

Our Prime Minister should be calling our Nation to look to the Maker of the World, rather than the Merchants of the World for Healing and Protection.
