What's Your Answer?

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2nd Timothy 1:7 NKJV

Everywhere you look, everything you listen to, chances are most people you speak with are talking about CoVid-19. First, let me say I pray for the comfort and peace for the families of those who have passed away from this disease. I pray for wisdom and guidance for all healthcare providers and the leaders making decisions. I pray for all the countries that are affected by it, but most of all - I come against it in the Name of Jesus Christ who is our Jehovah Raphe, our Healer. By whose stripes we are healed according to God's Word. Whose Name is above everything that is named, including Covid-19. 

There's a lot of misinformation and an overwhelming, disproportionate amount of fear-mongering. As Christians, I believe we are to stand against anything that raises its ugly head in fear because fear is the opposite of faith and without faith, it is impossible to please God. The Bible talks about times like this, in Luke 21, "...people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world", but it goes on to say, Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. That is cause for peace in the midst of the storm. So I would say, "Heads-up, people! Don't be in fear about what is going on around you." The answer to every crisis - no matter what, no matter how, no matter when - is always Jesus.

Search His Word. In it is where you will find your answers. 1st Peter 3:15b NIV tells us, Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. What's your hope? What's your answer?

Prayer:

Father,

          We come against the spirit of fear that is not of You, and we come against it the Name of Jesus Christ. We pray healing for all those who are ill, by the power of the stripes that Jesus took on His back to purchase our healing. We pray, Father, for a fresh anointing of Your peace, the kind of peace that only You can bring. We pray for the restoration of common sense and calm. We know that Your Word says when the enemy comes in like a flood that You will lift up a standard against him. Lift up the standard, Father. Stop the onslaught of the enemy and his diseases, in Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
