Natural immunity better protects against the Delta strain of COVID-19 than a vaccine, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday.
Researchers examined COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations from May through November 2021 in California and New York. The research team examined case and hospitalization rates among four cohorts of people: the unvaccinated and previously uninfected, the vaccinated and previously infected, the unvaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, and the vaccinated with a previous COVID-19 diagnosis.
The study found that the natural immunity obtained through recovering from a bout of COVID-19 gave people a much greater degree of protection against the Delta strain of COVID-19 than receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. The study said:
By the week beginning October 3, compared with COVID-19 cases rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, case rates among vaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis were 6.2-fold (California) and 4.5-fold (New York) lower; rates were substantially lower among both groups with previous COVID-19 diagnoses, including 29.0-fold (California) and 14.7-fold lower (New York) among unvaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis, and 32.5-fold (California) and 19.8-fold lower (New York) among vaccinated persons with a previous diagnosis of COVID-19. During the same period, compared with hospitalization rates among unvaccinated persons without a previous COVID-19 diagnosis, hospitalization rates in California followed a similar pattern. These results demonstrate that vaccination protects against COVID-19 and related hospitalization, and that surviving a previous infection protects against a reinfection and related hospitalization. Importantly, infection-derived protection was higher after the Delta variant became predominant, a time when vaccine-induced immunity for many persons declined because of immune evasion and immunologic waning (2,5,6).
Hello, I’m going to share with you a video that a friend of mine shared on Facebook. The title of this blog post is my own; I do not think the Lord gave the man in the video a title for the word delivered to him. There is a theme of a river of separation within the word which is why I titled this post thus.
Before you watch the video, I want to take a moment to offer some confirmation to this word. I believe the Lord has been saying similar things to me over the last couple of years, both in words and dreams. I received a word on Sunday, January 16th, 2022, but was told not to share it just yet. Today, January 17th, is when I saw the video below. I believe I was supposed to wait until I saw this video so that it could offer confirmation.
Sometimes when listening to a video such as this all of the information can get kind of clumped together, so I have taken notes about the parts that I think the Lord has confirmed for me. Below are the notes that I took from the video in bold and my confirmation will be in italics.
First, let me share with you the complete word that I received on January 16th. I shared it with my dad as well as an older woman who has become a sort of mentor and my personal prayer warrior. We are all prayer warriors, but she has been called specifically for that purpose and I’ve never met anyone more devoted to it than she. Here is the January 16th word which I received in my spirit and I typed it as I heard it (bold is confirmation of the video):
The time to play church is over. No longer will He tolerate going through the motions of tradition and religion. The time has arrived, after much leading by the Holy Spirit, to step out in what we believe. No more shall we compromise with the enemy. No more shall we be conformed to the patterns of this world. The vaccine isn’t about whether or not it causes good or harm. It is about a substance created by the enemy of men’s souls meant to purchase their very souls. It is about manipulation and control, it is a spiritual warfare. No more will God pat us on the back for being ignorant. May those with ears to hear-hear, otherwise may their ears be shut up. No more capitulating with the enemy. If one is not walking in the Spirit and discerning things as they truly are, they will be shocked. There’s absolutely no excuse any longer. No excuse for the American Church. The Holy Spirit has been preparing a remnant army, for the world is about to feel His power rain down upon them. Many who are lost will be found. Many who think they were found, those who have been comfortable in their religion, may hear the words “I never knew you”. This is not a time to capitulate; this is not a time to lean on one’s own understanding, but it is a time to rise up and say I truly do believe that what I believe is really real. Our children are leaving the church because there is no power there. They see repetitive motion and they hear legalistic judgments but they do not experience the true love and power of God. A relationship with God has not been nurtured so the American Church has become a boring club rather than a place in which we can see Heaven.
This will be no more! God is about to spit out the lukewarm. He has no stomach for it any longer. If only the hurting world can see and feel and experience the true love and power of God through Jesus Christ! Time is almost up. He has been preparing a peculiar people, a remnant of warriors. This is not a battle against flesh and blood, but against powers of darkness and wickedness in high places. Only those being led by the power of the Holy Spirit can discern the matters of the Spirit. This is a message to the American Church. Do not lean on your own understanding, but submit yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up and He will guide you! Amen and Hallelujah, to God be all the glory, now and forever more! Maranatha!
Now, here is a word I received on November 3, 2020 (yes it talks about Trump winning and I absolutely believe that he did, so don’t be throwing around the word false prophet because the word did not say he will remain publicly the president it just said he would win):
“America was given as a blessing but you (American church) have made it an idol. Even though Trump will win, judgment will still come to the church. I will plug the flood of evil that is the Democratic party, but judgment will still come. The church has allowed the trickle of evil, even sipping from it, and declaring it refreshing. But I will not share my people! I will not be mocked. America was to be a light unto the nations but you have worshiped the reflection of light instead of the True Light- the Lord Jesus Christ. You hold on to a set of ideals which appear good, but you have confused them and made them an idol. Patriotism is fine, but not when it replaces Me in your heart. Do not confuse the blessing with He who blesses, for I shall surely curse as easily as I bless. So says the Lord.”
January 8, 2022 I sent the following text to someone: Food for thought: 12 spies went into the promised land. 10 came back and said the people are too large; we look like grasshoppers to them, and only 2 said God is bigger. The entire Israeli army coward at Goliath and only one little boy said God is bigger.
Okay, now for the notes on the video. Again, the word given in the video is in bold and my confirmation is in italics:
* The moment of judgement among my people (see November 3, 2020 word as well as January 16, 2022)
* This season will bring the paradox of flooding and dry land crossings (see November 3, 2020 “plug the flood of evil”…. plugging the flood is like a dam, holding back the water to reveal dry land. See also the dream posted below the video)
* A dividing river that separates the way of the 10 from the way of the two. (See January 8, 2022 above)
*Those who called themselves my people are not all my people.(See January 16, 2022 and naturally Matthew 7:21-23)
*The musicians are being gathered and the warriors that have been trained through the Holy fire that flows from my throne are about to meet.(See January 16, 2022)
* This shall be a sign for this generation: I will blast from my nostrils and the river will be open for my holy ones, no resistance is their anointing, favor shall flow from my throne. (See dream posted below the video)
*The light of my flames will become more dim for those who chose to stay in the comfort of their own desert. (See January 16, 2022)
*The sons of Joshua and daughters of Caleb are about to eat of the fruit of my land.( Observation: Joshua was a Jew and Caleb was a Gentilegrafted into God’s people)
Now, here’s the video. I’ve never listened to this man before, as far as I can recall. I know absolutely nothing about him.
In a couple of the notes above I mentioned a dream. Here it is:
February 5, 2021- I was in my grandfather’s backyard. The yard was full of people. I do not know why, nor did I see faces. The wind was very strong and it was a torrential rain. I knelt on my knees with my arms stretched to Heaven. An invisible shield enveloped me – like being enclosed inside a bubble. I began speaking with a feeling of power and courage flooding me. I said in a loud voice, “Repent! Jesus Christ is Lord!”
This dream was further confirmed on April 19th 2021. In my spirit I heard, ” My people have been going through the motions, but they do not know me. There will be a latter rain. A latter rain of my Holy Spirit upon the earth, upon the peoples, upon all flesh. Hosea 6.”
And that, my dear readers, is all for now. I may also add, though, that Kent Christmas has recently given similar words. As I was writing this post I went through my journal and was reminded of several interesting things the Lord has shown me, so I may share them in the very near future, Lord willing.
In the meantime, when you see these things begin to happen look up and be ready, for our redemption draws near! Maranatha!
This does not change my mind about the video or this post. Sometimes people get mixed up in things and have to pay the consequences. None of us are perfect, none of us are guiltless. I don’t know if he knew what he was messed up in back then. I just know that God can speak through whomever He pleases and if there are several people who love the Lord and are seeking His voice, who are hearing similar messages from the Lord, then we need to pay attention. This post is an endorsement of what I believe the Lord is saying, not an endorsement of myself or any other man.
The chief executives of major airlines in America Monday sent a letter to the White House warning of a potential “catastrophic” aviation crisis on Wednesday when AT&T and Verizon are scheduled to switch-on new 5G services.
The CEOs reportedly said the 5G deployment “could potentially strand tens of thousands of Americans overseas.”
“Unless our major hubs are cleared to fly, the vast majority of the traveling and shipping public will essentially be grounded,” the leaders of American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and others wrote in a letter, according to Reuters. “This means that on a day like yesterday, more than 1,100 flights and 100,000 passengers would be subjected to cancellations, diversions or delays.”
