Day 21—Prayer Siege Against the China Virus
October 21, 2021
As we enter our final day, I’m encouraged by the prayers that you have made for those battling the china virus and I’m encouraged that we have made progress to victory.
God did not start this hideous virus, BUT GOD has a plan. Our Father always has a plan of redemption and restoration through His son, Jesus Christ.
The Fight
I think the most important thing I’ve seen, for someone battling the virus is having someone who can fight for you. Someone who can prophesy, decree, pray for days without wavering. You need the warriors of prayer, in your corner.
Give Thanks
Two years ago, I had one of the generals of the faith, Gerald Derstine, speak at our church. Gerald was 90 when he was with us. He said to me in private, “Ken, I feel better now than I did 10 years ago.” I said, “What? Tell me about it.” Gerald said, “Ten years ago I had arthritis in my back so bad, it hurt to walk. I took this to the Lord in prayer.” Gerald said, “Lord why aren’t you healing me?” Our Lord said, “Because you’re not giving thanks. I said in my word, in everything give thanks.” Gerald said, “In everything-not for everything.” Gerald told his wife Beulah, “If you hear me praising and thanking the Lord, when it hurts to walk or at any other time, I’m just being obedient to His word.” Derstine then said, “When I gave thanks to our Lord, in two days, I walked out of the painful arthritis.” The Lord healed him by His obedience to the word.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NASB, 16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
The pattern of redemption in this verse of scripture is powerful and will change lives. Notice the weapons He has given us.
- Rejoice—Worship unlocks things and opens a pathway between heaven and earth. When you enter into throne-room worship, heaven invades.
- Pray—Remember the story of the widow, who continually came to the judge who did not regard God. Because of her persistence, she was granted her request.
- Luke 18:1-8 TPT, “One day Jesus taught the apostles to keep praying and never stop or lose hope. He shared with them this illustration: 2 “In a certain town there was a judge, a thick-skinned and godless man who had no fear of others’ opinions. 3 And in the same town there was a poor widow who kept pleading with the judge, ‘Grant me justice and protect me from my oppressor!’ 4–5 “He ignored her pleas for quite some time, but she kept asking. Eventually he said to himself, ‘This widow keeps annoying me, demanding her rights, and I’m tired of listening to her. Even though I’m not a religious man, and I don’t care about the opinions of others, I’ll get her off my back by answering her claims for justice and I’ll rule in her favor. Then she’ll leave me alone.” 6 Jesus continued, “Did you hear what the godless judge said—that he would answer her persistent request? 7 Don’t you know that God, the true judge, will grant justice to all his chosen ones who cry out to him night and day? He will pour out his Spirit upon them. He will not delay to answer you and give you what you ask for. 8 God will give swift justice to those who don’t give up. So be ever praying, ever expecting, in the same way as the widow. Even so, when the Son of Man comes back, will he find this kind of undying faith on earth?”
- Don’t stop Praying
- Thanks—Psalm 100:4 NASB, Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
Let’s Pray!
Father, today we rejoice in You, our Savior. Thank You for the gracious gift of eternal life, healing and deliverance, through Your son, Jesus Christ. Father, we thank you for delivering every person out of the grip of the china virus. I bring (put in their name,) before You. I decree, virus, leave (put in their name,) in Jesus name. I proclaim salvation, healing, wholeness and restoration over them in Jesus name. I break the stronghold of darkness and hope deferred out of their life. Lord, touch them in Jesus name. Today, I loose heaven’s resources over every sick person. Father, I praise You for healing and deliverance, in Jesus name.
