My confidence might come off as cheesy, but my truth remains that I had no fear for COVID-19, and this is not because I live on a secluded Island where I can't be infected.  I live in the province of Lombardia in Italy. The first and most affected area by Coronavirus.

It's not that I am all strong and fearless; it's that God laid a project on my heart in November 2019. I obeyed, and with his guidance, I was able to secure my future (2020) without working in fear.

November 2019, the spirit of God laid it on my heart to do a 31-day prayer and praise session. From the 1st-31st of December. This program was to be done to pave and usher me into the new year (2020).

Of course, I was going to do it. I pray often, and it is no big deal. I had my mind all set until the spirit of God told me to record the program and publish it to the world.

No, no, I can't do this! I don't have the right tools to get this done. I am shy; I can't speak. I am not a preacher. Who would even care to listen?  I don't have anything to say to the people. I am not cut out for this. At a point,  I felt I was doing too much and overreacting.

Calm down, Gloria. You are just hearing voices. How are you sure it's God? Stop deceiving yourself. I tried convincing myself. But I felt no peace.  My restlessness caused me to push myself to gather what I could get and prepare for the program. It was hard for me. I wasn't feeling myself, but I was feeling God. With his help, I got confidence as the days went by.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint." -Isaiah 40:31

On day 20 of the podcast, the word of God came. Unable to process or contest what was going on at that moment, God spoke through me.

"2020 would not be as easy as you imagine; winds will blow, and if you are not solidly planted in the word of God or Jesus Christ, you will be blown away." These were the exact words God said through me.

This revelation was scary. After the recording, I played the recording over and over. Still, I could not bring myself to accept that I said what I said. This experience had me intensify my effort of praying for 2020. Because I was sure it was not me who said those things, and I knew better than to take God for granted.

Fast forward to 2020; the wind started; this was nothing like what the world has ever experienced.
