Christ is our healer

"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him" Acts 10:38. 

The verse clearly states that a disease is an oppression of the devil. God does not send them to people. They come as a result of the original sin, and by means of the oppressor - the devil. However, we have some good news. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. He has a much greater power and He can deliver us, and the entire world from any disease, illness, or infirmity. Another piece of good news is that He shared His power with His Church, the believers. Anyone who believes in Christ as His Savior can pray for healing, whether it is his/her own healing or anybody else's. And we can pray against any kind of disease, I repeat, including the most recent one - the coronavirus. Let's pray for the power of God to destroy it in Jesus name. Amen.

By His stripes we were healed

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed" 2 Peter 2:24. 

Jesus brought us peace with God by the means of His sacrifice. As He took all the sins of the world upon Himself, God's judgment fell not on us, but on Him. Most Christians know that. However, that is not all. He also took our infirmities, sicknesses, and all kinds of diseases upon Himself, so that we could be healed. The Scriptures give this fact in the past tense. We were healed. It takes faith to bring this promise into realization. Let's pray that God almighty would stop the current pandemic of the coronavirus, those that are infected would be healed, and the healthy ones would be protected from the disease. We have the right to pray like that because healing of our bodies is part of the redemption that Jesus gained for us on the cross.

God knows everything

"Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely" Psalms 139: 4.

Psalm 139 is one of the most amazing parts of the Scriptures for me. I enjoy reading it again and again. It shows that God knows every little detail about me, and He cares about me. He has a plan for me and you, He knows where you are now, all of your circumstances. He even knows what you are going to say before you have actually said it. Wow! Read for yourself, not just the 4th verse, but all of the psalm. It is a great encouragement. When things get out of control, just like things seem to be happening right now with the coronavirus (COVID 19), God knows what is happening, He cares, and is ready to help. Of course, the situation reminds us that nothing is stable in this world, and we have to go to God every day and pray to Him. Do not be afraid, because He is not going to leave you alone in hostile circumstances you maybe in. God bless. He knows every detail about you. Pray that His perfect will is established in your life.

"But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you" Romans 8:11. 

At times when we see the world being scared of the corona-virus we should raise our eyes towards God, as He is able to heal our bodies and protect them by the power of the Spirit that lives in us. Pray for the protection of the Holy Ghost at this time when panic is sweeping through the countries and trust in His mighty hand to protect you. If you believe in Christ, His Spirit is in you, and so you should believe His power to protect and to heal you. He wants to be your healer. Trust Him.

Nothing will separate you from the love of God

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Romans 8:38-39. 

In the time of the outbreak of the corona-virus, we need something stable to rely on. That something is the love of God. Nothing can separate us from it. A lot of things can threaten you. The world is full of bad news. You need to hear good news in the midst of the turmoil that is there. What is the good news? God loves you. He loves you very much. He gave himself, to be humiliated, beaten, spat on, to get you closer to the kingdom of heaven, where love, joy, peace, and righteousness live. In the middle of this mess the world is in, you should contemplate about God's love. He will always love you. Never forget about that. He will never forget you. He is always close to you. He always loves you. Praise God.
