WHO WILL WEAR THE CROWN?

THE CORONAVIRUS OR THE KING OF KINGS

Part Three

THE PROPHETS ARE SPEAKING

In my previous post, I mentioned that seasoned prophet, Cindy Jacobs, in consultation and prayer with other prophetic people in America and around the world, had released a response to the current threat of the coronavirus, or otherwise known as COVID-19.

Because fear can cause us to make reactionary or unwise decisions, Cindy Jacobs says we need to pray for wisdom for our leaders to contain the spread of the virus while protecting their people effectively.

Two aspects of fear were identified in this present situation - the fear of the contagious disease itself and the fear of lack. The fear of lack can cause economies to collapse and people to move into individual survivalism.

This fear of lack has been seen markedly in my home nation of Australia in recent days, as supermarket shelves have been emptied of toilet paper, and other daily necessities. One Facebook friend here in Hobart said a supermarket he visited had sold out of long-life milk. He lightheartedly remarked: "I might have to buy a cow!"😄 There have been reports, sadly of customers fighting each other for toilet rolls, and supermarket staff being abused. There is certainly a lot of panic being displayed by many, who are being overcome by fear. 

As of writing, there is not one case of coronavirus having been registered where I live in southern Tasmania.

Across the world, people are being faced with the greatest fear known to mankind - the prospect of our own mortality. This, for the Church of Jesus Christ should be a time for Christians to display great courage to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with a world that is without hope and is panic-stricken. Jesus is the Prince of Peace.

Many prophetic voices across the world have been prophesying the coming of the next great awakening, and that it will happen on a worldwide scale. Forces of evil would like to use this to either delay or disrupt the coming awakenings and revivals. We need to pray that this will not happen, but rather that the moves of God will escalate worldwide. God wants this season to turn into a catalyst of revival instead of contagion.
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have  come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10 NKJV

Cindy Jacobs further stated that we should make a decree that the coronavirus will cease worldwide, and that God will heal all who are currently affected by it.
Finally, she says that, as Christians, we should re-consecrate ourselves, our families, and our nations to God through the taking of Communion. We are to 
remember the miracle of Passover. Plead and apply the Blood of the Lamb on the doorposts of our spheres.

(Words in italics above are from Cindy Jacobs' online post regarding how Christians and the Church should be praying at this time).

Here in Australia, the Australian Prophetic Council based in Brisbane, with input from prophetic voices from around the nation and other nations of the world - released a word headed: "It's Time To Stand Against Coronavirus: Release The Overcoming Victory Of The Spirit." Psalm 29
In this word, there is again a call for the Body of Christ worldwide to stand together as one against this attack of the enemy. It was stated that this coronavirus has come to taunt the armies of the Living God, firstly in China and now in the rest of the world. The word stated that this virus is wearing a crown. This virus is a ruling authority and as such is commanding an army of warriors. It is a false god standing against the Kingdom of the true and Living God.
The Australian Prophetic Council post says further that they saw this virus as a Goliath, taunting the armies of the living God, and our response must be like that of David's: "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whose armies you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take off your head.....1 Samuel 17:45,46

As with the word from Cindy Jacobs and the Global Prophetic Movement, the Australian Prophetic Council believes the LORD is saying this is a time for the  Body of Christ, the church to have a corporate response to this virus threat by warring against this evil invader that would see multitudes struck down by its effects. This is the time for God's worshipping warriors to arise with boldness and proclaim that this enemy is defeated in Jesus' Name! 

As I close this blog, let me encourage you with these verses from Isaiah 59,60
When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him

Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
   For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
   The Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

"Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
They all gather together, they come to you;
Your sons shall come from afar,
And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
   Then you shall see and become radiant,
And your heart shall swell with joy;
Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you,
The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. Isaiah 59:19; 60:1-5 NKJV

The Coronavirus will lose its crown shortly, and the King of Kings, the LORD Jesus Christ will march forth with His worshipping warriors to boldly proclaim the Hope of the World through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit when the Good News of the Gospel is received.
