To all the Saints
of God,
Grace and peace
be unto all the Saints of God around the World. As this Coronavirus
Pandemic continues, we are continually reminding the Saints of God that we are
obeying the magistrates and following the guideline of the health and
governmental authorities for the safety of all people.
Health authorities and
governmental officials continue to strongly encourage people to wear face
coverings in public and use social distancing, wash your hands, and get tested
to help stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus. In
some places wearing face mask is mandatory in all indoor and outdoor public
spaces.
At
this present time, the City of Atlanta, Georgia remains in Phase II of the
Reopening Plan.
Large gatherings of more than 50 people are banned in Georgia unless there is
at least six feet between each person. We are
continuing limited in-person gatherings to maintain the requested social
distancing and increasing our online service through Zoom, Facebook, and
YouTube. The medically fragile are advised to continue to shelter in place.
As we obey the Magistrates, we have complete faith that God will continue
to hear our prayers and provide a way for us through these uncertain times.
Romans 13:2-4 Let
every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be are ordained of God.
TITUS 3:1-2 Put
them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to
be ready to every good work, To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but
gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
This week’s
encouraging words of growth focuses on:
Beware of
False Prophets
Everyone
in the world must come to realize that we achieve salvation by believing and
obeying the commandments of Jesus Christ. We must hold all the
things that the Lord Jesus Christ said and did to be true, otherwise all of our
personal actions and motives to save ourselves are void and useless. Anyone
who speaks contrary words against the commandments of the Lord God Jesus Christ
and promotes salvation by another method not taught by the Lord Jesus Christ is
deceiving the people who follow them. No one can come to God
accept by Jesus Christ because he is God Almighty and there is no other God. From
this conclusive statement all should now see that anyone who proclaims any other
thing is false. When we speak of the one and only plan of
salvation, we are speaking of the narrow and only way to be saved. The
false prophets will proclaims other ways to salvation to please and gain a crowd
to follow them sometimes including traditions from pagan false idol worshipers.
Matthew 7:13 - 18 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and
narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit.
A false prophet is a person who makes false statements about what the biblical
Apostles said and did. The New Testament historical book of Acts
of the Apostles gives a clear historical account of the birthday of the
Apostolic Christian Church and spells out the way the Apostles taught and
baptized all believers.
Acts 11:25 - 28 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And
when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a
whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people.
And the disciples were called Christians first
in Antioch. And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. And
there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there
should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days
of Claudius Caesar.
1Peter 4:15 - 17 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as
an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet
if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be
ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that
judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall
the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
We can see and understand from these biblical records that New Testament
Prophets were in the Church and spoke true prophecy from God about future
events. Therefore, a false Prophet is anyone who says that there
are no new testament prophets, falsely claims to speak for God, or who makes
such claims to turn people from real prayer and communication with God Almighty. A
false prophet can be anyone who sets him or herself up as a source of
spirituality authority without a command or ordination from God Almighty, or a
preacher, or a teacher who promotes a teaching that is not what the biblical
Apostles taught. While it is true that some may do so in
ignorance, it does not change the fact that any teaching that is not according
to the bible is false doctrine.
Deuteronomy 18:20 - 22 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in
my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the
name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine
heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a
prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to
pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath
spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
False Prophets, false teachers, false brethren and sometimes biblically ignorant people will say that God does not gives visions and dreams anymore as proclaimed by the bible. But the Apostle Peter said that he does give vision and dreams when pouring out his Spirit on believers as spoken of by the Prophet Joel. Many will try to say that this outpouring of the Spirit will only happen during the Second coming of Jesus Christ in opposition to what the Apostle Peter taught. Do not believe them and continue stedfastly in the Apostle's Doctrine.
Acts 2:4 - 18 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And
there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under
heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude
came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in
his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every
man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and
Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in
Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of
Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and
Arabians, we do hear
them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all
amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. But Peter, standing
up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea,
and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my
words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
third hour of the day. ACT2:16 But
this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I
will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour
out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
This is the reason why we do not marry or join with unbelievers and the reason
why the Children of Israel, the Church in the wilderness was commanded to
destroy all false images and false gods….. not to display them in the museums
that you see today. Because false people and unbelievers will work to
deceive you and turn you from God, and turn you from the Apostle's Doctrine and
teach you the doctrine of devils.
Deuteronomy 7:3 - 6 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter
thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other
gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee
suddenly. But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars,
and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven
images with fire. For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the
LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all
people that are upon the face of the earth.
Even if a Prophet come to you with many dreams which come true
and works many miracles among you, if they proceed to turn you from the
Apostle’s Doctrines then you should not listen to them or follow them. Because
as there were false prophets among the Children of Israel, they are also among
the Apostolic Christian people today to test our belief and commitment to the
Apostle’s Doctrine. This is one of the reasons why I am suspicious of
unreasonable men who love to argue about the word of God in front of crowds to
gain recognition. No matter what biblical proof text you give to
them they will continue in disputing the truth. It reminds me of
some politicians who will continuously spread any lie necessary to get elected
to office. In the old testament they were commanded to put them to
death, but today we have no fellowship with their unfruitful ways and reject
their false teachings.
Deuteronomy 13:1 - 5 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,
and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to
pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou
hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the
words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth
you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all
your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep
his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto
him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death;
because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought
you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to
thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So
shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
The Apostle Paul and Apostle Barnabas came upon a certain
magician, a Jewish false prophet, named Elymas Bar-Jesus on the island of Cyprus
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence,
who summoned Barnabas and Saul to hear the word of God. But the
false prophet Elymas Bar- jesus the magician withstood them, seeking to turn
away the proconsul from the faith. Notice that this false
prophet’s focus was on turning Sergius Paulus from the faith not speaking of
unknown future events as most people expect prophets to do. This
is the type of false prophet that is more prevalent today among most so-called
Christian Churches when they tell people that baptism is not essential for
salvation, when the Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to go and teach all men
baptizing them with water in his name. The behavior of the false
prophet Bar-jesus is the same warning given to Israel in the old testament
period.
Acts 13:6 – 12 And when they had gone through the isle unto
Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: Which
was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called
for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. But
Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking
to turn away the deputy from the faith. Then Saul, (who
also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, And
said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou
enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the
Lord? And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt
be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a
mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. Then
the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the
doctrine of the Lord.
Most people are easily fooled when they see miracles of healing, foretelling of
personal wealth which brings them comfort and fail to recognize that all these
things are possible in prayer to those who believe but they will not save one
soul if you do not repent and turn away from your sin, and be baptized in water
in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and receive the Holy
Ghost with the sign following speaking with other tongues as the Spirit of God
gives you utterances. God will not resist the faith of anyone who
ask for blessings according to his will, believing in his name. This
is why there will come some who will speak of doing great things in the name of
God to whom he shall declare depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew
you.
Matthew 7:21 - 23 Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The point of false prophets making correct predictions about future events and
performing great signs and miracles is what the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
gives strong warnings about. The fact that false prophets can
counterfeit or duplicate some miracles and signs done by true Prophets of God is
not the way to assume that they are righteous. You must look at
their fruit to see if they live a holy lifestyle or lead you astray away from
the Apostle’s Doctrine condoning the sinful ways of evil men.
The rise of false prophets will continue during the period of
Grace and continue even after the rapture of the Church during the tribulation
period with false prophets trying to counterfeit the second coming of the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24:3 - 5 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto
him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be
the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered
and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come
in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
All people must be very vigilant or watchful and take their walk with God to be the most precious thing in their life. We must continuously examine all things that influences us because deception and we can even say extreme deception is apart of the Ending of the dispensation of Grace. As this world system comes to a close all kinds of personal promotion seminars, new age thinking, astral projections, demonic meditation or meditational prayers to devils, free love masquerading in promiscuities and illicit fornications with multiple sexual partners or same sex partners, witches calling themselves good witches who deal in demonic forces of darkness, unmarried people boosting of their sinful lifestyle living together and having children while claiming that they are saved which is a blatant absolute lie and the list goes on and on for all of this falseness with many claiming salvation in the name of the Lord. If you believe any of their falseness you will be deceived. These false teachers have led silly people out to fields waiting on a comet in the sky calling it the second coming of Jesus Christ. They have also started entire religious organizations by setting a date for the return of Christ which is not known my any man.
Matthew 24:24 - 27 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they
shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth:
behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning
cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming
of the Son of man be.
People usually speak well of these false prophets who deceive them and who
cater to their opinions and desires promoting selfish economic gain and social
influences.
Luke 6:24 - 26 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
consolation. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men
shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
We can see in the many book sales that promoted teachings that
did not save a single human being from their sins but became best sellers for
the companies and a great source of wealth for the writer. Once
people are misled to join a feel-good social wave, they will just about accept
anything. Some people can look into the sky and see the big round
moon and say the moon is flat if some writer presents them with a moving
well-articulated pack of lies. They will go to a flat moon
convention and join flat moon clubs so to speak and look at the sky each night
and believed the lie they are promoting. They will sell books that
are blatantly untrue based on somebody assumed theory.
The Second Epistle of Peter makes a comparison between false teachers and false
prophets and how the former will bring in false teachings, just like the false
prophets of the old testament.
2Peter 2:1 - 2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason
of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
True Apostolic Christians must measure everything by the word of God, test
every spirit and build their hope on the Holy Ghost. They must continue to seek
God until he fills them with the precious gift of the Holy Ghost. The
Holy Ghost within you will comfort you and teach you all things. Anyone
who do not believe and confess that Jesus Christ is God almighty who was
manifested in the flesh is not of God and do not know God.
1John 4:1 - 3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is
it in the world.
The end of the false prophet is to be cast in the lake of fire for all
eternity. It makes no different about the miracles that he did, or
the signs and wonders that he performed. Those who do not continue
in the Apostle’s Doctrine can look for the same end…
Revelations 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that
wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the
mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast
alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
We continue
with an edited message from Apostle Johnson on ………………False Prophets………...
FALSE PROPHETS
Greetings everyone! This is the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic
Faith. We believe, we preach, and we practice what the apostles believed,
preached, and practiced. Therefore, we are endeavoring to bring to
you, with God to help us, the One plan, the only plan, and no other plan. After
this plan, no other plan can follow that will be able to help you. Believe it or
not!
I know the time is here now and marvel not because the Holy
Ghost said so. Anytime the Holy Ghost says a thing, that is it.
. . the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine:
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall unto
fables." (11 Timothy 4:3, 4)
That time is here now. Whenever a lie is preached, the man that preaches it has
an easy go with the world: because in that there is something that pleases and
satisfies somebody’s lust, and they will go after it.
The Bible says, the way of truth shall evil spoken of….” they
with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
linegereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not." (II Peter 2:2, 3)
So, bear in mind the way of truth today and always was evil spoken of—all the time. Here is a good way to know when a thing is the truth. Hear what the word says about it. When the word speaks, you get it.
THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF.
They said this about Jesus:
. . away with him, crucify him. (John 19:15)
One that steps out for "truth" today must courageous. No
wonder God said to Joshua, “Be strong.” You are going to have many
things to come up against when you step out for the Truth. Many
things! Everything going against the tide, but His grace is
sufficient; your strength is made perfect, thank the Lord, in weakness. One
beautiful thing about it: There is always enough grace that becomes sufficient
in any trial for whatever you have to come up against. Here is
what we have to contend with. A whole lot people, because they
have to go up against hardships, get away from the Word of God. It
( the Word of God) is my “only hope.” One
thing—I fear God.
"But there were false prophets also among the people... (2
Peter 2:1)
That is what the people like. They like false prophets! If
they didn't, they would not feed them. They feed false prophets well: A plenty
to eat, plenty to wear, home to stay in, automobile to ride in, clothing—give
them a vacation. They rain money into them. They love false prophets. But the
Bible is warning us about them. The Bible is telling us what they consist of and
what their nature is. The Bible is telling us, and I am taking
heed to what the Word of says. By taking heed to the Word Of God, I know the
danger that is in them. If you would hearken to what the Word of
says, then you would know a false prophet, and you would shun them.
The people have a spirit in them that will agree and readily cooperate with the spirit of a false prophet. They cannot link up with what I am preaching just cannot do it. If you are not right, you just cannot do it! You will sit right here and look at me and hear me; but there will be a spirit in you that will be throwing it off just as fast as I speak the word. However, when I am through, it still has you captured.
The devil knows that the man of God will deliver you and
bring you out of darkness. He will turn you to the light and get you set right
for the kingdom of God. The devil is against that; therefore, there is a spirit
in the "false prophets," and in the people that do not want to be right" that
with all the truth that is preached, they will not take it.
It says here,..who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, . " (2 Peter 2:1) Now, the world is
full of it. Why is it full of it? Because it is full
of false prophets. Wherever
a false prophet is, there is damnable heresies. Why is that? It
is to destroy, and that devil will keep that damnable heresy alive. He will make
the people go after it, because in that stuff he preaches, there is something
that satisfies the lust of the people. That is the reason Paul
said, “…but
after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers…” (11 Timothy 4:3)
They
are lusting. It is something they want to do. It is a spirit of "wrong doings"
in them. They will take heed to it quickly; they will hear; they will wake
up.
They will sleep on the truth, but they will wake up when something starts
that has a spirit of "error" in it. They become greatly interested.
Nevertheless, the truth of God is going to hold its own regardless of who rise
up against it.
As God has purposed, it is going to stand. I am glad for that. It is very encouraging. If I did not have something to rest on, I would be very much discouraged. When I look at the world—after the toiling and after the labor and everything —the people still go after wickedness.
I would be very much discourage, but thank God, in the midst of it—with all of
the fight, with all of the rejecting, I am still encouraged. As
long as you are encouraged to do a thing, it shall be done. But,
when you lose your courage, then the thing is going to cease. It does not make
any difference what opposition you will confront; when you are courageous, you
will wipe that out of the way—at any cost. You will suffer the
cost, and you will still be encouraged.
When I look at the world and see how many are going after false doctrine, then I would say, "Well, God must not care." I would give up knowing that He is able to put an end to it, but He let it go on. I would give up, but I watch the Word. If I have to go along by myself, I am still patient.
Apostle Paul said, "At my first answer no
man stood with me, but all men forsook me…” "Notwithstanding the
Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might fully
known,…” (II Timothy 4:16, 17)
We have been warned here and I am taking this because God is warning. When I see many going after false prophets, I am being warned. I have been warned that they would do this:
“And many shall follow their pernicious ways;…” (II Peter 2:2) Many are going after this damnable religion that has come out by the devil and false prophets. MANY: millions upon millions. My God, but I thank God tonight that I am watching the Word, and in watching the Word it will bring me safely in. I know the others are going to have a shipwreck. They are headed out for it as a drunk man driving an automobile. When he steps on the gas making 80 miles per hour, you know what he is headed for.
I know what the world is out for, when the preachers tell you to bow your head,
raise your hand, be christened, make a decision for Christ —whatever you do,
accept Christ as your personal Saviour.
Why the world likes that. They can do that, and they do not have
to stop drinking alcohol in excess becoming drunkards. They do not have to stop
watching everything that is pictured on the television and other forms of media.
They can do that and they do not have to stop doing anything that they are doing
now.
"And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth
shall evil spoken Of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned
words make merchandise of you: judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and
their damnation slumbereth not." (II Peter 2, 3)
You know, the Apostle Paul was preaching, praise God, to the Jews and said to :
" whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent."
(Acts 13:26)
I have said so many times, if you are honest … God said, "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, . . (John 7:17) If you are honest, and in the jungles of Africa, God will either carry this Truth to you or bring you to it. If you are honest, you will adhere to the Word of God.
I want to tell you what you have to do now. In spite of all
the doctrine that you are hearing or have heard for many years, you have to
repent of your sins. You must baptized in water in the name of
Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins and you must receive the baptism of
the Holy Ghost.
To all people around the world—it will be worth your while to fly here and get baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ and get the Holy Ghost if there is no place teaching the truth where you live. Then you live a holy life so that you will ready when the Lord comes.
May the Lord
Bless you and Keep you and eternally hold you in the center of his will, may he
open your understanding that you will come to know that you must repent of your
sins and be baptized by immersion in water in the Name of Jesus Christ for the
remission of your sins, then continue in prayer, tarrying until you receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost with the sign following speaking with other tongues as
the spirit gives you utterances. Then you must leave the principles of the
doctrine and go on to perfection overcoming the love of the world, the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life and continue steadfastly
in the Apostle’s Doctrine remembering always that he that endures until the End,
the same shall be saved. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who is God
Almighty. Amen
With perfect love,
Apostle Dennis G. Smith
Coronavirus outbreak in Churches from health reports: September 27,
2020
· A
COVID-19 outbreak has been declared at Kelowna's Calvary Chapel Church. The
Church seemed to be following all of the guidelines laid out by government
health officials. Less than 50 people at a gathering, socially distanced, hand
sanitizer and other precautions. I do not think the church did anything wrong
here in meeting together. Even interior health said that "physical distancing
and other safety precautions were in place" at the church. Also, I'm pretty sure
that the church only rents out a room at the Kelowna Christian School on Sunday
mornings for their services and therefore it's not part of the Kelowna Christian
School or affiliated with them. On a side note, how did they determine exactly
that these people got Covid-19 from or at the church service and not from
somewhere else or from someone else earlier in the week or from the grocery
store that they may have went to later on in the day?
Present
Guidelines for Individuals and Businesses in Phase 2:
· Small private gatherings
of no more than 10 people, with social distancing.
· Large
Gatherings of
more than 50 people are banned in Georgia unless there is at least six feet
between each person.
Social
Distancing guidelines:
When to Wear a
Mask:
Those who are
staying home and have no close contact with people who are infected with
COIVID-19 do not need a mask most of the time. However, wearing a nonmedical or
homemade mask may be helpful in certain situations or for certain populations.
Wear a Mask when:
Because homemade
masks protect everyone else from the droplets created by the wearer, it is
important that as many people as possible wear these masks when leaving their
homes. This helps prevent those who may be infectious but are only mildly
symptomatic or not symptomatic from spreading the virus to others in the
community.
Everyone should remember the phrase: “My mask protects you; your mask protects me.” By increasing the overall number of people who are containing their coughs, sneezes, and other droplets, it will help us control the overall spread of the virus.
