Part 2
Coronavirus--No
match for the Blood of Jesus
Since
my first message and prayer, the Coronavirus has now progressed
to the
category of “Pandemic”, as declared by the World Health Organization
(WHO). According
to the WHO, a pandemic is "an epidemic occurring worldwide,
or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually
affecting a large number of people." www.cnet.com
But now
we know we can fight this thing with our weapon of choice, the Blood of Jesus.
And the reason this sounds like fighting words is because they are. We’re in a fight
here and the sooner we realize that life is a battlefield, the sooner we can go
about winning the battle that is before us. Scripture says that the weapons of
our warfare are not carnal (physical) but spiritual…fight the good fight of
faith…put on the whole armor of God…for the word of God is sharper than any two
edged sword. That does not sound like the gentle strumming of a golden harp in
the clouds. Okay, so we have the Blood of Jesus, and there are others weapons
that are powerful and many come in the form of promises of protection,
safekeeping and maintaining peace, faith and a clear and sound mind in the
midst of crisis and deadly virus’ and economic chaos.
Maybe
you thought you’d never find yourself in this kind of predicament with thousands
of people dying of a mortal virus around the world, and then seeing this
Coronavirus pouring into the US and even into your own state. You go to the
supermarket and you see mostly empty shelves with only a few bottles of water
left, no toilet paper and only few paper towel rolls. And hand sanitizer,
sanitizing wipes or Clorox wipes---forget it. These are nowhere to be found. You
hear in the news that businesses are closing or asking their employees to take
a leave of absence. Many cities have declared a state of emergency and the
stock market goes into a nose dive every other day, with readings like: Dow
Jones drops 1,400 points and tumbles into a bear market…
Honestly,
at moments I feel like I’m going to come apart at the seams, but I know I can’t
lose it. I’ve got to stand firm and steady and the only way I can do that is to
stand on the solid rock of God’s word and promises. Of course there’s other
things too; my job, my house, my family, my car, my stocks---but again, if I
don’t have something solid and stable enough to sustain me through the
Coronavirus tsunami, none of the rest is going to help.
To end this part I’m going to give you a
few promises of protection from scripture (the Bible). And I’m addressing these
messages to everyone, Christians and non-Christians, believers and
non-believers. So there may be a few terms and things (such as scripture) that
you may not understand, but this is an emergency. I’m moving ahead and giving
it to you even if it’s not all crystal clear, these words are real and powerful
and they will help you. It might be like the movie Matrix where Trinity needs
to learn to operate and fly a military helicopter. On her communicator she
informs headquarters of the need gives them the make and model of the
helicopter and in seconds she’s programmed to fly the machine. So whatever you
don’t understand or need, let the heavenly headquarters know and they’ll beam
down all the knowledge and wisdom you need at the moment you need it.
-Promises
of Protection-
I give
you power to step on serpents and scorpions (and viruses), and over all the
power of the Enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)
God
shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. (Exodus 14:14)
Whoever
listens to me will dwell in safety, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
(Proverbs 1:33)
The
name of our God is a strong tower: the righteous run into it and are safe.
(Proverbs 18:10)
The
angels of God encamp around those that honor him and keeps them safe. (Psalms
34:7)
God bless and keep you safe,
Carlos A. Cedillo
