Why Is COVID-19 Still A Thing?
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 will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14
When COVID-19 first started to spread I read the above scripture and began to pray! After all I am one of God’s people, called by his name. So I prayed so that God will hear from heaven and heal the land. Notice all the other stuff I left out from this scripture? I am going to take the onus on myself for falling short in intercession because God gave me this revelation, so that means I have to be at least somewhat responsible. If that doesn’t make sense now, I hope that it will make sense soon.
First, I do not care to debate masks, vaccines or the validity of COVID-19. It’s a global pandemic, so we need the Lord to heal the land. So, if all of God’s people have been praying like I assume we were…then why hasn’t God healed the land yet? I believe it’s because we have FAILED MISERABLY at humbling ourselves, and seeking his face, and turning from our wicked ways!
People of God…
…WE SHOULD BE HUMBLE!
…WE SHOULD SEEK GOD’S FACE!
…WE SHOULD NOT BE WICKED!
But over the past year I have witnessed self-righteousness and a lack of care or consideration for others that are hurting, disenfranchised, and suffering from sickness and loss. At times I have failed to seek God’s face concerning the world. The world is in need of the Gospel and needs to be set free of satanic strongholds (this topic is reserved for an episode on the podcast). Satan is very conniving and can deceive even the very elect christians into wickedness. We need to examine ourselves and get back down on our knees before God.
While examining what’s going on and why COVID is still around I have learned to express greater compassion and care for the hurting and suffering. I have begun seeking God’s face concerning the needs of the world and am going full steam in sharing the Gospel and walking in Deliverance as a holy spirit-filled ambassador of Christ. I am now especially aware of any doors or weak points in my life that can give way to wickedness. 1 Corinthians 10:23 says, ‘“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.’ I realize that I walk in a different calling and anointing than others, so the things that some people can do…I can’t do. Those things may not necessarily be sinful, but they can open a door to wickedness because of who I am. I believe I’m not alone in that.
Ambassadors, intercessors…the true people of God. We need to rise up and do our kingdom work, because our effectual and fervent prayer should get the attention of God’s ear and heal the land!
