Viral Immunity
I believe the Holy Spirit’s presence within us offers us immunity from sickness and disease. The presence of Holy Spirit comes as a result of an increase in holiness. He is a gift. He is the power and presence of the GOD. We have seen the evidence of the healing power from GOD through the miracles of Jesus and miracles of GOD working through others. I also think the presence of the Holy Spirit within us will allow us to be immune from this Coronavirus.
How dare I say this?
A number of years ago I heard of a Christian invention which claimed (and in some cases succeeded) to cure cancer. It was a rod that held an electric sort of mechanism that felt similar to the experience of the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual electricity which is from the Holy Spirit — not this rod invention or of a natural electric current — is a supernatural power….. and also offers immunity, I believe.
We must not presume
Of course we cannot call upon the Holy Spirit to cure us on command, as though we were taking a pill or an electric shock treatment. No.
But as we genuinely seek GOD our Father, and abide with Him (John 14), as we worship and adore Yehovah GOD, we can know that He provides for us in every way. (Matthew 6:25-30)
Holy Spirit Comforter and much more…
When Jesus was leaving the earth, he promised to send the comforter (John 14:16, 26), his Holy Spirit. I believe we have not come anywhere near the intimacy and experience that the Holy Spirt of GOD wants to offer us.
Jesus began his ministry only after his Baptism, when the Holy Spirit came upon him. (Matthew 3) He needed the Holy Spirit and the leadership of GOD to perform the miracles he did. So why would not we?
Is the time we spend with GOD sufficient? As we dwell, as we abide, so we may be empowered, if it is GOD’s will for us. (John 15)
Viral Opportunity
Coronavirus is horrible but it also provides opportunity.
Families are together, children with their parents, marking a greater opportunity for love to blossom, and for those of us know walk with Jesus, it is an opportunity for more teaching to our children, of the things of GOD.
And we have the opportunity of time — not only with families but with our Creator and Saviour and Comforter.
Could it be also that it is an opportunity for GOD’s love, light and power to shine ever-brighter in and through us? Imagine if we, the children of GOD, are so surrendered to Him, so in love with Him, so abiding in Him, that we are filled to the brim with Him? What then can we do to draw others to Him, through His presence in us?
What if, when all this lockdown is done, we arose and went forth as Jesus calls us to do, and had the power of His presence in us to heal. That would be an outrageously fantastic victory against the virus and a tremendous testament of GOD’s love in action to the world.
Viral Judgment
I do not believe GOD has brought about Coronavirus. But He is sovereign and He has allowed it.
Coronavirus takes some and leaves others.
It will be that way too, when Yeshua returns to judge the nations and to open the Lamb’s Book of Life. Some names will appear, but not all.
Could this virus be an opportunity to reveal GOD’s power in such a way that more will come to Him, and confess Jesus as their Lord and Saviour? Could it be that Jewish people will finally recognise their Messiah has come?
GOD’s choice
It is not up to us to determine GOD’s will for these times. But if we are empty vessels, if we would give our time and attention to GOD, if we could allow ourselves to be filled with His Spirit to the measure He wants us to be, and used for His glory to heal and reveal Yeshua/Jesus, then would His will be done on earth as in heaven? (Luke 11:2)
End Times
We must all make it to the End. Hold on. Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself. And see how GOD transforms our world.
Come LORD JESUS, Come.
