Being sick is not a necessity for a Christian
There are Christians who have not been sick for many years and believe that they are not going to suffer from coronavirus - Yes. After all, they are Christian and know how to arm themselves against illness on the basis of God's Word. They simply do not accept disease in their bodies.
There is even someone who has not fallen ill for decades and raised many people from the dead in the Name of Jesus, including his own wife.(Whether she was happy with that does not tell the story, but he was happy with it).
I, too, am not afraid of getting the virus. I'm not going to be fooled by all the media reports. I'm not going to test myself on corona as a precaution, and I'm not gonna let anyone in this area cause me fear. Apart from the fact that when I had the flu - somewhere in 2007 - I didn't have to spend days in bed eitherto lie down.
The devil wants us to focus on that virus, get scared and take all sorts of precautions to prevent us from becoming infected. He wants to bind us in fear, so that we no longer focus on what is really important: knowing and serving Jesus Christ. Fear can cause disease in our bodies, and therefore even death. Nothing is more beautiful for him than that.
Prayer Healing and Our Disease
But we must keep our eye on Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. He died for us on the cross and rose from the dead. His stretch marks and blood have healed us.
We cannot say - and certainly not if we are Christians - that we cannot pray away from physical or mental illness because the facts prove otherwise. Millions of people around the world can testify to the fact that God has healed them from physical and mental complaints.
My husband and I also saw His power again, when we prayed for her on the phone with a friend. Not only did she heal physically, but a demon left her body. She felt this clearly, too, and it went in the same way as many other people.
He didn't leave her because we're superChristians, because we're not. He knew we had authority and had to obey. He fled from her way to hear the Name of Jesus. And we don't accept that demons remain seated when we have ordered them to leave someone's body. We have experienced this before and remain in our authority in that area. It may cost battle, but they will leave.
It is simply obedience to God's Word. God says we have to go out into the world, heal the sick, raise the dead and drive out demons.
I do not always see people healed, and I have never raised anyone from the dead in Jesus' name. But the few times I prayed to exorcise demons, they also left.

God is truly greater than our disease
Jesus said that we would do even greater things than He himself. That's almost impossible to comprehend, but what He said. We can believe the Bible from cover to cover. It is the Truth of the life-saving and changing gospel of the God of heaven and earth, Who created us.
“1-4 If you seek protection from the Supreme God, you are completely safe. I say to the Lord: “With You I am as safe as in a shelter, as safe as in a castle. You're my God. I trust you.” Because He saves you from the traps the devil sets for you.He saves you from deadly diseases.He protects you under his wings. With Him you are safe. His loyalty protects you like a shield, like an armor.
5-8You don't have to be afraid.Not for dangers that threaten you at night. Not for arrows that get shot at you during the day.Not for disease lurking on you in the dark. Not for the death that attacks you in the middle of the day. Even if the people around you die by thousands or tens of thousands, nothing will happen to you.You will only see how things end with the people who have not taken care of God.
9-13 With thee, Lord, I am safe. You, the Supreme God, are my Protector. No disaster will happen to you.No disease will penetrate your house.
Because he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will carry you on their hands, so that you will not knock your feet. Lions and vipers will trample you under your feet.”
The Bible says that God is immutable. He's still the same and does the same things he used to do. A wonderful thought full of Spirit and Truth. God heals and wants to free us from fear and sickness through the sacrifice of His Son.
@Ingrid Tips and more 💡 had a writing challenge last year. It was about the question ' What are you afraid of? '.
With all the worldwide fear surrounding the issue of coronavirus, this blog fits perfectly into that theme.
