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.

WHO WILL WEAR THE CROWN?

THE CORONAVIRUS OR THE KING OF KINGS!

THE PROPHETS ARE SPEAKING

As stated in the first part of this blog, a number of prophetic voices in the church have released words in recent days regarding the threat of the Coronavirus pandemic. Those that I have read are from trusted prophetic people, those with proven personal and ministry integrity.

Cindy Jacobs, a much-respected prophet from Texas, who heads up a ministry called "Generals International", and who speaks prophetically to the destiny of nations - in a post online yesterday headed: "Response to Coronavirus from the Global Prophetic Movement" said - "After seeking wisdom and prophetic counsel from prophets across the nation and around the world, we believe that since this is a worldwide issue, it's going to take the whole Church to cry out together for the mercy and healing power of God to contain it.

The renowned passage 2 Chronicles 7:14 promises us that if God's people pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, then He will heal our lands. Throughout the history of the United States, presidents have sought to align the nation with this sacred promise."

WHAT HAVE THE PROPHETS SAID THAT WE SHOULD DO AT THIS TIME - IN PRAYER?
1.  Pray Psalm 91 over your families and nations.
     He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Because you have made the LORD, 
who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; Ps. 91:1,9-10.

The prophets are concerned that fear is spreading in epidemic proportions in our nations. We need to pray at this time against fear and remind ourselves that God has not given us a spirit of fear. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind." 2 Tim.1:7

Another prophetic word on this issue I discovered on the Elijah List website was headed: "Coronavirus: The Pandemic Is To Be Faith, Not Fear." This was from a prophet named Danny Steyne from New England in the USA.
Quoting a section of this word, he says: I believe the pandemic that has been sparked by the media over this coronavirus has begun to run over into the homes and lives of the Church, but it will be faith and unity that will be the ultimate victory in defeating the most vicious virus that has been a pandemic much longer than this virus.
It's called "fear", and it stops believers from believing. It straddles them like a saddle to keep them in its control, it imprisons them in its clutches, and only a call to return to the "deeds you did at first" (Rev 2:5) will release the faith born from love that will deny all enemies of the Cross any further assault.

We must step towards faith instead of fear, now!
This same man says while the Lord was speaking to him, he heard the Lord say:
"And NOW, I'm going to unleash my superheroes in this hour. They will bring this virus to a full stop, and because of the way it will be suddenly stopped many will believe in Me. They will move by love accompanied by faith, unknown to men but known to God."

Another respected and trusted prophetic voice, Johnny Enlow published a word, again on the Elijah List site, headed: "Faith Will Decimate The Coronavirus."
He has this to say: I just heard the Lord regarding the coronavirus. He was there when the virus was being engineered and He did His own counter engineering.
In His tinkering, He has caused it to be the most "susceptible to be affected by faith" virus that ever existed. The virus is absolutely destroyed when exposed to faith. Prayers of faith. Actions of faith. Stands of faith. The virus can smell faith and it is decimated by it.
I heard the roar of the virus turn to a whimper. This is a built in recipe for an explosion of salvation and the miraculous and of every kind of spiritual encouragement.

Evil will pay a great price as fear and death will be swallowed up in victory. Haman will again hang on his own gallows and it will happen in more ways than  one.

We are in the days where God will always be "greater than." Whatever card the enemy plays, God will have the trump card to take the hand. Don't bow to fear; crush it instead. Courage is your friend. Jesus is your King!

WHO WILL WEAR THE CROWN?

THE CORONAVIRUS OR THE KING OF KINGS

As of writing, according to Wikipedia reports, more than 89,000 cases of the Coronavirus infection have been confirmed, of which 8,000 were classed as serious. More than 65 territories have been affected with the largest number of cases in mainland China, South Korea, Italy and Iran. Officially, more than 2,900 people in China have died with around 130 having died in other countries. More than 44,000 people have recovered. [We are, I believe to assume that the tens of thousands of people not recorded as having recovered are most likely in the process of doing so].

There is no doubt that this infection is posing a threat to public health around the world, with the greatest threat being the pneumonia type symptoms which may develop further complicating the initial viral infection.

The coronavirus is named as a derivation of the Latin corona, meaning "crown" or "halo", which refers to the characteristic appearance of the virus particles (virions): they have a fringe reminiscent of a crown or of a solar corona (Pictured above).

Authorities tell us that the coronavirus now circulating is related to other coronaviruses that have been around for decades, such as the various strains of the SARS virus which also produced a number of deaths in the early 2000's - but which was relatively short-lived in its distribution.

As well may be expected, secular media outlets have been beating up this story and, while providing factual information regarding this infection, have also been blowing it out of all proportion in some instances. About a week ago, I read a headline on the Internet Microsoft Edge news page which said words to the effect: "Every Australian Will Get Coronavirus". That kind of headline obviously is intended to instill fear and panic in the hearts and minds of the readers, as well as greatly increasing their readership. I do not believe this headline is a truth fact. There has probably not been any infection or disease epidemic or pandemic which has affected every person in a nation, although certainly there have been widespread pandemics such as the Black Death of the 14th century and the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which purportedly killed more people than all the casualties of war in World War One.

In the last two decades, there have been a number of viral infections which have caused alarm worldwide - such as the SARS virus, the H1N1 bird flu around 2009, and the Ebola scare which, I think from memory most affected several nations in West Africa. 

As a committed Christian, a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, what should my - and your response be to this threat from the Coronavirus now circulating through increasing numbers of nations?

Interestingly, a number of prophetic voices have arisen, addressing the present Coronavirus pandemic threat. 
The Bible says in Amos 3:7,8 Surely the Lord God does nothing
                                           without revealing His purpose
                                            to His servants the prophets.

                                           The lion has roared;
                                             who will not fear?
                                           The Lord God has spoken;
                                             who can but prophesy?

In the New Testament Book of Ephesians, in chapter 4, verse 11, the apostle Paul lists what are known as the Ascension Gift Ministries of Christ to the church. These are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. These leaders have been given to the church to equip the saints for the work of ministering effectively in the world and in the church.
There are people in the church today - both men and women who have been called and commissioned into the office of modern day prophets. 

That being said, there have been a number of prophetic words published in recent days relating to the coronavirus threat. I do not intend to reproduce all these words verbatim in this blog, but will provide some highlights of several of these words to provide some sense of encouragement, especially to those who have their trust in the Lord God fully.

I will publish the next part of this blog, but to whet your appetite for more to come (Hopefully), the title for one of these words is: "The Coronavirus: The Pandemic Is To Be Faith - Not Fear".
