The Spiritual “CURE” for Covid-19

“If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”…2 Chronicles 7:14

It is August 18, 2020 and Covid-19 is still an “unwelcome guest” in our nation. Many businesses have closed their doors, schools are in-session via virtual learning, masks are now considered an essential piece of clothing, and unfortunately, the fear of catching “Covid-19” is greater than the fear of The Lord. You ask yourself, how did America find itself in this predicament, the answer and the only answer lies in The Bible.

Yet, it is NOT The Bible that people are looking to for the answer to this “pandemic”. We are still a stiff-neck people, lovers of ourselves and of our puffed up knowledge, prideful in refusing to believe that this pestilence can only be cured by GOD! There, I said it, “God is the cure for Covid-19”. Yet, we say, “Let’s look to science, the doctors, the WHO, the CDC, and most famously, “the mask”. Yes, we have devolved into believing that a “mask” can keep us safe from Covid-19, the most deadliest virus of 2020. What is ironic is that THE deadliest virus of 2020 only requires three simple weapons of defense… a mask, frequent hand washing, and 6- feet social distancing. Don’t they sound so powerful and effective? <insert sarcasm> PLEASE do not answer this rhetorical question. I am afraid that too many people would probably say with confidence, a resounding YES! So now that I have stridently revealed my displeasure of Covid-19 for the interruption of my life, let’s look to the Word of God for its cure.

First, let’s establish the purpose of the Word of God. In 2 Timothy 3:16, it reads, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. God clearly left instructions for His people to follow in order to remain steadfast in faith, righteousness, and safe underneath His wings. It is our disobedience and sins that drive us away from Him which results in our defeat, bondage, and judgement. But God thru His agape love for us always provide a way of redemption. We just simply have to follow His directions thru His Word in the Bible.

Since God is bound by His Word, we can rest assure that He will perform it as long as His people are being obedient. 2 Chronicles 7:14 states that, “If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”. Here is the cure to Covid-19, God as Jehovah Rapha, will heal our land upon certain conditions that we must first do:

  1. Humble ourselves
  2. Pray
  3. Seek His Face
  4. Turn from our wicked ways

And then God will be bound by His Word to do the following:

  1. Hear from Heaven
  2. Forgive their sin
  3. HEAL their land.

Wow, the cure has been here for thousand of years way before Covid-19 reared its ugly head. It has nothing to do with the work of scientists and doctors, the WHO, or the CDC. It is a covenant promise made only by the One True Living God! This pestilence can not and will not be cured by man’s human ways or means. Only the hand of The Lord will bring about the healing of our land and the eradication of this pestilence…PRAISE THE LORD!!!!

As always, I pray that this message bless you, provide encouragement and faith in God’s Word. If you would like to partake in the promises of God and become saved, please say this scripture out loud and believe in your heart and you will be save.

Romans 10:9, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved”.

If you confessed this scripture and believed in your heart, then you are SAVED! And the angels of heaven are rejoicing! As a follow-up to your new salvation, please be sure to get into a Bible believing church and start reading your Bible starting with the Book of Matthew…I am excited for your new adventure with God!

Always sharing God’s Word in Love,

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, then you will be saved:…Romans 10:9

As I am writing this quick message, America, pardon my error… to be more exact, the ENTIRE world is still in the middle of a pandemic. There have been countless lives lost, lives recovered and everyone’s life have been turned upside down. This Covid-19 epidemic has caught many people off-guard and now living in a ball of confusion, fear, doubt, worry, and anxiety. Who would have thought that in the month of March 2020, that our normal everyday lives would be introduced to a “new normal”. This “new normal” of 2020 opened the eyes of many individuals to the fact that if they were to contract this virus and die, where would they spend eternity. On a side note, I can attest to the rise of this question, because my insurance agency has seen a tremendous surge in people purchasing life insurance.

God is omniscient, meaning that He is all-knowing. So we can rest assure that this DID NOT catch Him off-guard. For whatever reason why God allowed this pandemic during this time only He knows. But maybe in my small mind of thinking, it could be to allow more people to come to realization that they need to repent and accept the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, into their life. In the Bible in 2 Peter 3:9 it states, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” This is such a time for this awakening. We have been stripped of our everyday idols, our version of normalcy, and worst of all, stripped of our capability of attending church. You know God has His way of getting our attention solely back onto Him. It can be an easy way or the hard way…I guess we wanted it the hard way.

So now, I get back to the title of this message, “Are you SURE?”

Are you sure that if you were to die today, would you know where you would spend eternity? If you are not sure but would like to be able to say “Yes” then read and acknowledges these truths:

  1. You must acknowledge that you have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…Romans 3:23 We all sin and fall short of God’s glory everyday. By acknowledging that we have sin, we allow our hearts to be open to receive Jesus Christ as our Savior Who washed away all of our sins.
  2. Understand that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus…Romans 6:23 Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will have sanctification and the outcome will be eternal life.
  3. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…Romans 5:8 Our sins is what kept Jesus Christ upon that cross. He knew that the only way for us to be in right standing (righteousness) with God, we had to have our sins washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ being shed for our sins.
  4. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast…Ephesians 2:8 There is nothing that you did or could do physically to become saved. It was your faith in God thru His grace that you obtained salvation. If were able to “work” for our salvation, then we would get all of the credit and not God.
  5. That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation…Romans 10:9. Now confess this scripture aloud and believe in your heart and you will be saved and your name will be written in the Lambs Book of Life…HALLELUJAH!!!

So now, lastly I ask you again, “Are you Sure?” If you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior just now, you can answer in confidence with a “YES”!

But before I finish this message, it would be remiss for me not to provide the next two crucial steps in your life as a new believer:

  1. Please begin studying your Bible. You can study with your church members, Bible believing family members and most importantly by yourself in your daily life. The Book of John in the New Testament is a great place to start.
  2. Praying without ceasing. Prayer is THE KEY of communication with God. Just as you feed your physical body, you must feed your spiritual body with prayer and with God’s Word EVERYDAY!

I love sharing God’s Word and pray that this message was a blessing!

Go with Christ today!
