THERE IS MORE SAID IN THE PODCAST AUDIO THAN IN THE NOTES BELOW
Welcome to the How to Stay and Survive the Coronavirus Plague Briefing Podcast #54. My name is Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International.
Deuteronomy 28:59 says, “Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.”
John Gill said, “Then the Lord will make their plagues wonderful, meaning visible, remarkable, distinguishable, and astonishing to all that see them: for they were to continue, as they have done, With their posterity, age after age. The plagues were called great as to quality and quantity, and of long continuance, meaning firm, sure, lasting, and durable; sure by prophecy and in the event; and which when inflicted remained; all of this might be believed as certain, or what would certainly come to pass, and be depended on.”
REPENT!
2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and 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.”
Revelation 2:4-5 says, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”
Leonard Ravenhill said, “It has been well said that there are only three classes of people in the world today: those who are afraid, those who do not know enough to be afraid, and those who know their Bibles.”

PREPARATION
Here are some tips for getting through the coronavirus:
Focus on yourself and your loved ones first. The first rule of prepping is: Don’t tell anyone you’re a prepper. You could have a coworker that has a big supply of food… they don’t want you banging on their door saying “Hey, I need canned food. Can you help us?”
Stick to shelf-stable foods. In a collapse situation, getting frozen food is not a good idea because you have to assume you’re not going to have an electric system. We do shelf-stable foods, but we also grow food, we have gardening, we have plants, we have free-range chickens, we have cattle. We also will do a lot of hunting.
Don’t be complacent.
RV
Here are some benefits of living in an RV during the coronavirus:
You can continue staying inside and practicing social distancing while assisting an infected family member. Your travel trailer can be a family emergency vehicle for you to park outside of their home and maintain your distance while being able to provide them with medical supplies and food. Remember to disinfect accordingly when you return to the camper.
ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
You can buy off-grid housing from Farmflip.com. Farmflip was created and is managed by former land brokers and features one of the largest sources of land listings, land buyers, and land professionals from across the nation.
You can buy a mini house from Tiny House Finder.net. Tiny House Finder is the dedicated real estate site for Tiny Houses where you can find Tiny Houses for Sale or Rent. You can also find builders and lots to place your tiny house.

Brandon says his brother is going into business with their dad. His dad is concerned about leaving the business to his sons equally even though Brandon isn’t going into the business. Dave Ramsey explains how to handle it.
ANSWER: Family business experts teach a great way for you guys to look at this. You and your dad and your brother need to sit down and look at it this way. Take three circles and draw them overlapping to where all three of them have an intersection, and each of the other two have an intersection each—like a Venn diagram. One of those circles is the owner, one is the family, and one is the leaders in the business—management. You can be in the family and not be an owner or a leader. You could be in the leader circle and not be family or an owner. You hypothetically could be an owner but not be in the family or be a leader. In your case, you’re in two circles: the family and the owner circles. But you’re not in the leader circle. Your brother is in all three. He’s in the middle—the circle where they all three overlap. If we were to plot his point, it would land there.
When you separate that out, the owners get paid ownership rights only. The leaders get paid leader rights only. The way that works in the Ramsey family is the owners are the stockholders of the company, and the profits of the company are distributed to the owners. The people who work in the business are the leaders, and they get paid market rate for leading the business—not family rate, market rate. If they don’t lead the business, they’re family and if they just work in the business… I have a friend whose daughter is in graphic arts in his business. She gets paid for being a graphic artist just like any other graphic artist inside the business.
Your brother, let’s say he was a vice president or even the CEO of the business after it transitions later. He would be paid for being the president, whatever it’s worth to pay a president in the marketplace—not more because he happens to be a family member but market value. That would be my suggestion, and then he would also get paid because he happens to be a stockholder over there with you on the owner side. He’s getting more money out of the business, but by the way, he works over there every day, and you don’t. That’s fair. He gets paid his ownership share just like you do, but he also gets paid because he has a job there.

Now, if you are with us today and you do not know Jesus Christ as your Savior, allow me to show you how you can place your faith and trust in Him for Salvation from sin and Hell.
First, please understand that you are a sinner and that you have broken God’s laws. The Bible says in Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Please understand that because of your sins, you deserve punishment in hell. Romans 6:23 says “the wages of sin is death…” This is both physical death and spiritual death in hell.
But here is the good news. John 3:16 reads, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
The phrase “For God so loved the world” means that if you are in this world, God loves you no matter what you have done.
The next phrase, “that He gave His only begotten Son” refers to Jesus Christ. He is God’s son who suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins and for mine, and He was buried and rose again.
Our next phrase is “that whosoever believeth in Him”. The word “whosoever” means anybody at anytime. The phrase “believeth in Him” means to trust in Him, to depend upon Him, to rely on Him, or to have faith in Him for your salvation.
Our next phrase, “should not perish”, refers to eternal punishment in a place called hell.
And, lastly, the phrase “but have everlasting life” means to live eternally in Heaven with God.
The Bible also says in Romans 10:9 and 13: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved…. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Dear friend, if you are willing to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, please pray with me this simple prayer: Heavenly Father, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. For Jesus Christ sake, please forgive me of my sins. I now believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for me, was buried, and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen.
If you believed in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried, and rose again, allow me to say, congratulations on doing the most important thing in life and that is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour!

Jesus Christ said in John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
