Does The Bible Speak of “The Mask”?

To be quite frank, like many of you, I’ve been extremely disturbed by this topic from the very beginning. I have wondered what it is about these silly masks that The Lord won’t leave me alone about until I fully understand it?

Immediately when these mask mandates came out I had major checks in my spirit about them. But I set it aside as we are eagerly expecting a mighty move of God and an end time revival that will sweep the world. I chose not to wear them and we have been fasting, praying, and watching the Hand of The Lord move in a mighty way. Promises of His Glory and outpouring are being received regularly. But what is it about this masked culture that disturbs me I wondered? Could it be that these masks are in some way connected to or in some way opposing this coming end time revival or the outpouring of the GLORY of YHVH?

As I was praying into this I received a prophetic word from a trusted friend who hears very clearly from The Lord. The Lord spoke to her in a time of worship that there is a reason why I have been so opposed to the masks and that The Lord would reveal it.

So why am I opposed to healthy people being forced to wear these masks?

Is it because I don’t care about public health? No, I certainly do care very much about people and public health. Is it because I don’t love my neighbors? Of course not, I love my neighbors and I love people very much! So is it because I’m rebellious? After all, there are some pastors and leaders that have been quoting Romans 13 and other scriptures that tell us to obey worldly authorities... many of them have even stated that we will come under judgment if we do not obey the mask mandate. Some have stated that we should even ignore checks in our spirit because scripture is so clear about it. Hmm... really? No, that’s not it. I love and respect authority and always want to live in peace as I obey the laws of the land to the best of my ability.

The Changing Narrative

So what is it about these masks that so disturbs me and others to the point that it won’t leave us alone? Was it the alarming zombie like blind acceptance of this “new normal” that raised serious questions? Perhaps. Maybe it was the spirit of confusion that surrounded this topic?

Public experts like the head of the CDC, the US surgeon general and Fauci all said in the beginning that people should not wear a mask as they are not effective to stop C-vid. But then later they changed the narrative:

“They work, they don’t work, you should wear them, you shouldn’t wear them, only doctors should wear them, wait... NOW EVERYONE MUST WEAR THEM! Wear them or else you will get fined, also you can’t buy or sell without wearing your mask!" Wait, what?! Hold up.

James 1:8 says:

“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

Does this really sound like the spirit that God commands us to follow? Is this what He meant when he said that we should obey authority?

1 John 4:1-6 says this:

“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us.

This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”

The Masking Agenda

Are the head of the CDC, the Surgeon General, Fauci and other government leaders giving these orders operating under the Spirit of Antichrist? Perhaps it was this clear spirit of deception that was urging me so strongly that something is VERY WRONG with this masking agenda. Now don’t get me wrong - I don’t believe masks in themselves are bad - in fact I understand the science and that they can be effective in situations to help slow the spread. It’s the forced agenda of manipulation and confusion that so disturbs me. Whatever the case may be, I kept praying about it and asking The Lord:

Father, I want to obey your Word and I want to respect authority as you desire... so why is it that I am so disturbed about these masks? Why won’t this topic leave me alone?

Lord, why are so many spirit filled believers so opposed to this mask if it is for our “public health” and the greater good? There has to be something deeper here beyond the civil rights violations for so many to be so disturbed in the spirit. Please show me what is hidden and expose it in the light.
