COVID-19 Fills Christian’s Hearts With Fear: In Response To Jesus’ Words Of Warning, Your Hearts Are In Your Bank Accounts

John the apostle reports that Jesus’ Words of Warning from Holy Week in 2019 came to pass during Lent in 2020 when COVID-19 filled Christian’s hearts with fear.

The COVID-19 pandemic sent unemployment claims skyrocketing to over 33,300,000. This surge in unemployment wiped away all the job gains since the 2009 recession in just one month. And the adjusted unemployment rate for the week ending May 1 of 19%, the DOL said, which "marks the highest level of the seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate in the history of the seasonally adjusted series." And now as the US Economy re-opens many Americans remain in fear of more COVID-19 deaths.

At his website https://dazzlinglight.org/, John the apostle reports that, “On Thursday January 20, 2005, I made my first trip to the Chapel on the Mount of Beatitudes tourist site in Galilee. As I entered the church, the sanctuary’s striking interior design and immaculate cleanliness brought me to a state of reverence and respect. I knelt at a prayer station, bowed my head, and then noticed a paper bag on the floor near my knees. I picked up the bag and saw written this message from Jesus: Open Doors – Ezekiel 7:12 – Isa. 29.

“Then during Holy Week in 2019, Jesus instructed me to send these Words of Warning to Christian Churches:

“The time is coming. The day is near when the business of Christianity will come to an end. And God’s punishment will fall upon all Christians.” Ezekiel 7:12. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 bankrupted Christianity.

“Christ’s Holy City in Rome is doomed! There will be weeping and wailing, and the whole city will be like an altar covered in blood.” Isaiah 29:1. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 desolated Vatican City.

“You claim to worship me, but your words are meaningless and your hearts are in your bank accounts.” Isaiah 29:13. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 filled Christian’s hearts with fear.

“When I return, the light will shine into your darkness and The Word of God will once again bring happiness to poor and humble people.” Isaiah 29:18-19. During Lent in 2020, COVID-19 purged Christianity for Jesus Return on September 19, 2022.”

CNBC reported that, “More than three out of four Americans, 76%, fear the coronavirus COVID-19 will trigger an economic recession, according to a recent poll of over 2,000 U.S. adults conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of debt management app Tally.

“While concerns about a potential recession are high among all generations, about 59% of millennials (ages 24-39) polled say the current economic situation is prompting them to take steps to conserve their available pool of cash. The most common move: delaying major or non-essential purchases (44%). Putting the breaks on your spending is a good instinct, says Bobbi Rebell, a certified financial planner and host of the Financial Grownup podcast.

“Many millennials are making some less-than-great financial decisions right now. Roughly one in four, 23%, of millennials polled by Tally are making only the minimum payments on their credit card bills and other debt, and about 15% are relying more on credit cards for routine expenses.

“Even though interest rates are low, and it may be tempting to horde your cash instead of paying off your debts, don’t do it, Rebell says. The best way to protect your finances, especially when the markets are going crazy, is to actually eliminate high-interest debt such as credit card balances. This will cut out any interest you may be paying and could, in the long run, net you some extra cash in your budget for daily costs including groceries, rent and gas.

“If you are struggling to pay bills, reach out to your bank or the creditor directly. Capital One, Citi, JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo have all said they are willing to work with customers impacted by the coronavirus. For longer-term solutions, many financial companies also offer hardship plans, which allow consumers to sign up for some combination of a payment schedule with lower interest rates, smaller minimum payments or lower fees and penalties.

“76% of Americans worry coronavirus will trigger a recession—here are steps to take if you’re already being impacted” CNBC March 17, 2020 by Megan Leonhardt

Certainty About The Afterlife Eliminates The Fear In One's Life Today - Brian McLaughlin, TV Host, NDE Expert And Author of 'A Flight Without Wings' Announces Events

McLaughlin's book about his NDE details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no preaching and no hidden agenda

All human beings experience fear. However it is fear that lies at the very core of every negative mind state. So, if fear is eliminated, can that help us overcome those negative mind states? Is that even possible? Brian McLaughlin, NDE expert, TV host and author of 'A Flight Without Wings', believes it is possible.

The list of things we fear is endless. There are the almost universal fears of sickness, old age and death. We fear changes in our relationships with other people, other countries, other races and other philosophies. Some of us are afraid of the big movements in the stock market, big money, big pharma or big government, large dogs, small snakes, tiny germs, viruses or bacteria. A spot on our nose. A pain in the chest. Our own thoughts.

If we could overcome our fear of all of those things, how would we view our lives? What if fear did not exist? How would our lives change? What if we knew, conclusively and beyond any doubt, that there is no reason to fear - anything at all? Many of us would call that "heaven". That is precisely the message Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings' offers to his audience. His message is not hopeful. It offers no room for uncertainty. His message is based in certainty and fact. It is a message that everyone needs to hear, as his simple message holds the power to change the world and everyone and everything in it.

Brian McLaughlin shows us clearly in his book how we can experience a life filled with peace in the midst of discord. We can find freedom from fear when faced with uncertainty. We can overcome any form of anxiety, even while facing down threats from within and without. Depression, despair and dismay can easily be transformed into peace, confidence, contentment and joy in one single stroke. What is this most powerful concept that will allow us achieve these states?

The key is to accept that the afterlife really does exist - without question. This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with truth. While the afterlife cannot be proven using a scientific method based in the physical, it can be proven through one's experience. McLaughlin is one of very few people who have had that experience. He speaks from that experience and his readers and audiences reap the benefits.

A Flight Without Wings' offers readers a look at the near death experience from an unbiased point of view. It is the presentation of the material that sets this book apart from the other books about the near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certainly, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.

McLaughlin's experience changed the course of his life forever.  It instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that a peace of  mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. His near death experience brought a sense of clarity. It brought a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever. It is that simple message he brings to his audience, both through his book and at his speaking engagements and in his media appearances.

McLaughlin stated in a recent interview:  “It was a pleasure to read a review from a reader who dismissed the small literary mistakes I made in an attempt to appear honest and transparent. After all, the most important part of non-fiction would be accuracy.
Beyond that, presenting believable honesty in a comfortable way was my goal. That convincing came from jumping back and forth on a timeline much the same as a conversation might. It is difficult to summon every nuance in the first go around.”

Brian serves as co-host of the Chapters Rap Show on MadhouseTV.com, an Internet television show that is broadcast worldwide. He uses this forum to showcase people who make a difference. He recently interviewed Emily Rachael, a singer confined to a wheelchair who is involved with the training and placement of service dogs. She is truly an inspiration to all that encounter her.  Upcoming interviews include members of the Job Corp., discussing well kept secrets for young people looking for a direction in life, and how to find help and support to accomplish their dreams.

Brian was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in 2015. He has again been chosen as a finalist in the 2016 '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' awards. Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Penny Sartori, author of 'The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences', said "This book will help others who have had an NDE to make sense of their experience and will also help those close to someone who has had an NDE because NDEs affect close family members and friends too."

Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...”  "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."

Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”

Recently a reader posted this review on Amazon: 5 Stars -"Good Book,  Meaningful"

"As some of the other reviewers pointed out, the writing isn’t the best as it is repetitive  at times and bounces around a little, however this is not a novel.  This is a guy sharing his near death account and other lessons that he learned in his life.  He is trying to help people with real life issues rather than create a written masterpiece.  At no time in the book was I lost or  confused about what he was saying; it may  read a little rough, but is certainly acceptable writing. I also want add that the fact the book wasn’t filled with over elaborate details indicates a honesty in what the author is saying.

"I have read many books on the subject and I did truly enjoy this one.  While a lot of the book doesn’t have to do with the Near Death Experience itself,  I felt that I gained something and I was kept intrigued throughout all of the book.  The Near Death Experience itself was very interesting and I very much enjoyed reading about it."

What The Afterlife Is Like - 'A Flight Without Wings' By NDE Expert Brian McLaughlin Gives Us The Answer

McLaughlin's book about his NDE details his totally unique near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment, no preaching and no hidden agenda

Fear is the most debilitating state any person can experience. Fear lies at the very core of every negative mind state a human being might experience. As demonstrated in the last few days, even something as common as a Presidential election can strike mortal fear into the hearts of large segments of the public. But it goes far beyond that.

Fear affects every area of our lives. There are the almost universal fears of sickness, old age and death. We fear changes in our relationships with other people, other countries, other races and other philosophies. Some of us are afraid of the big movements in the stock market, big money, big pharma or big government. Large dogs. Small snakes. Tiny germs, viruses and bacteria. A spot on our nose. A pain in the chest. Our own thoughts. The list of the things we fear is endless.

We fear all of these things (and more) because we believe we are vulnerable.

But what if fear did not exist? How would our lives change? What if we knew, conclusively and beyond any doubt, that there is no reason to fear - anything at all? Many of us would call that "heaven". That is precisely the message Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings' offers to his audience. His message is not hopeful. It offers no room for uncertainty. His message is based in certainty and fact. It is a message that everyone needs to hear, as his simple message holds the power to change the world and everyone and everything in it.

McLaughlin admits: “I have allowed myself to explore and realize a certain amount of Freedom from Fear. It is one of those benefits I describe in my book. Imagine being able to approach a given situation fearlessly. Remove the fear of: failure, of embarrassment, of rejection... the list goes on. Fear often holds us back from success.  We will retreat in the face of it and lose opportunities to better relationships, change our work performance, and most importantly improve ourselves.

"Fear is like a silent killer of opportunity and advancement.  Though just a 'notion' in our minds, it has powerful consequences on our behavior.  Overcoming it can start out a simple as you might accept.

"Give in to displaying a smile to someone who might otherwise intimidate you. Anticipation of the result, whether it be rejection  or  embarrassment will be evident right away. Should you receive a negative response, just excuse it as the person having a bad day.  Don’t pass up the next opportunity.

"A collection of these simple yet effective events will discipline you to face fear, which is all important in overcoming it. My suggestion in severe cases is to approach it in baby steps... little by little.  My experience is that the results come faster than the efforts”

Brian's upcoming media engagements include:

November 14 - Co-Host on Chapters Rap Show (MadhouseTV.com), focus on youth hero (autistic) who ran NYC marathon and an interview with Young Starr, an advocate for victims of domestic violence.

November 15 - Speaking engagement at ATRIA Senior Community, focus on fearlessness.

Writers Now Make Careers By Spreading Fear Of Muslims Says Frances Fuller, Award Winning Author Of Book About Middle East, 'In Borrowed Houses'

Fuller spent many years in the Middle East. She puts a face on the Middle East many Americans have not yet seen. Her award-winning memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses', gives readers a penetrating glimpse of the Middle East from the inside

Frances Fuller, author of the award winning memoir 'In Borrowed Houses, a true story of love and faith amidst war in Lebanon' says that professional writers are making careers of spreading fear of Middle Easterners, especially Muslims. She identifies Islamophobic accusations as “a serious threat to peace, because nothing will make people fight more quickly, more desperately, than fear.”

Because of the dangers of being misled, she went on to say, “It is imperative that we learn how to be discerning about what we hear and read.” Fuller used a quote from the Middle East Forum website as an example, “… since 2010, 96 individuals have been killed in 19 Islamist terror attacks on American soil. At the same time, nonviolent Islamists exploit our freedoms to undermine from within – slowly chipping away at the rule of law, freedom of expression, free enterprise, and religious pluralism.”

Notice, she said, this common tactic. “A verifiable statement is employed to lead the reader into unfounded and unreasonable accusations.” She urges readers to research the statement with statistics, then question the rest.  “For instance, why would non-violent Muslims in our country be at work to undermine such principles as the rule of law and religious pluralism, when these are so vital to their existence as a minority group?"

Ann Coulter has recently proclaimed publically that if Khizr Khan gets his way, we will all be living under sharia law. “The first thing we should wonder is how she could know what Mr. Khan wants. And second, Does she even know what sharia is?” Finally, Fuller wonders, “How many Muslims would it take in a population of more than 300 million to change the law of the land?”

Suggesting that many who warn us about sharia do not know what they are talking about, Fuller then recommends several books that contain pertinent information.

1.'Radical, My Journey Out of Muslim Extremism' by Maajid Nawaz
2.'Who Speaks for Islam?' by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed 
3.'The Fear of Islam' by Todd Green 

Advising her readers to read widely and think critically, Fuller said, “This is the common citizen’s contribution to peace in our country and the world.”

Frances Fuller puts a face on the Middle East many Americans have not yet seen. Her award-winning memoir, 'In Borrowed Houses', gives readers a penetrating glimpse of the Middle East from the inside.

Told in short episodes, Fuller’s book reveals the alienation, confusion and courage of civilians in the Lebanese civil war, introducing to the reader a variety of real people with whom the author interacts: editors, salesmen, neighbors, refugees, soldiers, missionaries, lawyers, shepherds, artists, students. With these people she works, studies, plays games, prays, laughs and cries, all to the accompaniment of gunfire. Together these small stories tell what war is like for civilians caught on a battlefield, and they create the impression of the Lebanese as a fun-loving, witty, patient and resilient people. Fuller's stories compose not a political history, but a historical document of a time and a place.

Critics have praised ‘In Borrowed Houses.’ A judge in the 22nd Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards called 'In Borrowed Houses' “ . . a well written book full of compassion . . . a captivating story . . . ”. Another reviewer described the book as “Wise, honest, sensitive, funny, heart-wrenching . . .”. Colin Chapman, lecturer in Islamic Studies at the Near East School of Theology in Beirut said, “ . . . western Christians and Middle Eastern Christians need to read this story…full of remarkable perceptiveness and genuine hope.”

Frances Fuller is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at frances0516@att.net. The full text of her latest article is available at her website. Fuller's book is available at Amazon and other book retailers. A free ebook sample from 'In Borrowed Houses' is available at http://www.payhip.com/francesfuller. Frances Fuller also blogs on other issues relating to the Middle East on her website at http://www.inborrowedhouseslebanon.com.

About Frances Fuller:

Frances Fuller spent thirty years in the violent Middle East and for twenty-four of those years was the director of a Christian publishing program with offices in Lebanon. While leading the development of spiritual books in the Arabic language, she survived long years of civil war and invasions.

Assault And The Abuse Of Power - Award-Winning Author S. Jane Gari's 'Losing The Dollhouse' Gives Readers An Inside Look At The Aftermath Of Abuse

Gari's book about child emotional abuse has liberated her from the past and allowed her to finally "put it down". She demonstrates that it is possible to recover and thrive, even after the deepest of betrayals

The major news organizations are filled with stories of sexual abuse. Bill Cosby's accusers now number in the dozens. USA Today reported on an assault by Josh Duggar. CNN and many other news organizations have reported on the story of Donald Dennis who perpetrated abuse on Boy Scouts over a period of 12 years - upwards of 1,000 times with a single child. There are so many stories of abuse by Catholic priests they boggle the mind. A new film starring Michael Keaton, 'Spotlight', chronicles the investigation done by reporters at the Boston Globe who uncovered over 300 stories of abuse by priests in the Boston area alone.

Regardless of the form abuse takes, be it sexual or emotional abuse, regardless of victim or perpetrator, all involve an abuse of power and a violation of trust. In Gari's case, that violation of trust came on two fronts. Her latest book, 'Losing the Dollhouse', reveals the aftermath of her decision to expose her stepfather’s advances. Surprisingly, her mother chose to support the stepfather. The book is a powerful narrative of Gari's journey to healing.

“I wrote 'Losing the Dollhouse' because storytelling is the way I process my own experiences," Gari stated. "My hope for the book is that it helps others in their journey to heal from past traumas. Stories help us examine emotional and sexual abuse and then move toward forgiveness, peace and a solid sense of our own inner strength.”

Three adapted chapters from the book were nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Unlike other emotional abuse books, Gari's work helps readers take three steps toward real healing, all based on the theme "Put It Down":

* Achieve Forgiveness—
Just put down the anger and move from acceptance to peace.

* Achieve Healing—
Just put down the hurt and move from examination to empowerment.

* Overcome Fear—
Just put down the title of “victim” and move from challenger to champion.

In addition to writing books, Gari also teaches workshops, edits other people's work and tutors children. She is available as a speaker on writing and publishing. Gari also speaks about topics related to her memoir: sexual harassment, emotional abuse, children of divorce, OCD, anxiety, anorexia and forging a healthy sense of self in spite of these issues.

She is also available as a school workshop facilitator.  Gari has been working with students as a certified English teacher since 1996.

S. Jane Gari is available for media interviews and can be reached using the information below or by email at sjanegari@gmail.com. 'Losing The Dollhouse' is available at Amazon and other online book outlets. A portion of the proceeds benefit RAINN, a national network that provides support to victims of abuses. More information is available at Gari's website at http://www.sjanegari.com.

About Jane Gari:

S. Jane Gari is the author of a number of books.  In addition to 'Losing the Dollhouse' she has also  co-written a humor book titled 'Flush This Book: True Tales of Bodily Malfunctions'. She is currently revising her first novel, 'Shakespeare's Daughters'.

Dr. Laurie Pappas Offers A Practical Approach To Creating Peace On A Global Scale In 'The Loving Heart', Announces Teleseminar Schedule

Dr. Pappas believes all people wish for peace, but very few really understand how to create that state of peace. In her latest book, 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace', she offers practical instruction for both individuals and the larger world community

Combat in Afghanistan, war in Libya, fighting between Israelis and Arabs – all these occur under the guise of creating peace and freedom, but can true peace ever come about as the result of endless armed conflict? Of course not; yet many believe it can. Individuals often prefer to hand the responsibility for peace off to groups such as the military or a government. But what can we do personally - right where we stand now - to make a difference? Dr. Laurie Pappas, author of 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace' offers the only real path to creating peace, both on a personal level and on a global scale. Not only does she offer real answers, she also provides practical instruction on how to eliminate anxiety and fear, and to create hope, happiness and ultimately the state of peace.

"The conflict in our own minds," stated Dr. Pappas, "contributes to the conflict in our global world because we’re all connected by earth and spirit. Peace begins within. American democracy is the envy of many in the Middle East and elsewhere; understandably, for American democratic society is as good as is gets. But could we do better? True freedom is found within the mind when we learn to see each other through the eyes of forgiveness and compassion. This is the message of the Dalai Llama, whose voice has been desperately needed during his reign."

Dr. Pappas presents her approach in 'The Loving Heart: Navigating the Journey from Conflict to Peace'. The book is supplemented by a workbook entitled 'The Loving Heart Companion'. Dr. Pappas has included over 30 years of observation and wisdom gained from personal experiences, as well as working with students, clients, family members and colleagues.

“Peace,” continued Dr. Pappas, "is an elusive term. We talk about it, think about it and pray about it, but it often seems to escape us. I wrote these books to provide an understanding and a practical pathway to the 'peaceful living' enigma. Not only do these books offer user-friendly exercises to add practicality to the concepts described, but also personal stories, which demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing such exercises. When the reader is finished studying the books and doing the exercises, they will then possess a 'tool box' filled with effective instruments for peaceful, harmonious living. At any time of need, they can access their tool box and return to a state of peace."

Dr. Pappas offers phone and in-person spiritual and metaphysical counseling, in addition to life coaching, classes, workshops, speaking engagements and teleclasses. Her teleclass schedule for Spring 2011 is as follows (all times EST):

Wed. April 27 - All You Want to Know about Forgiveness -12:00-1:15 pm

Thurs. May 5 - Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, What Can I Learn From You? - 12:00-1:15 pm
