James 5:13-18 shows the prayer of faith (Mark 11:22, in the God whose word we believe), is essential for total healing (physical, mental, and spiritual), but first there must be an atmosphere of faith (believing God). In Mark 16:14-18, once we have the atmosphere of believing God’s word (true faith, John 4:22-24; not an emotional high); then people will get well simply by our clean hands laid on them, in the name of the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17), from our pure heart, because divine healing must have a faith-love atmosphere in which to work (Galatians 5:6).
Therefore, Jude 1:20-21 shows most holy faith has the perfect love of 1 John 4:7-8, 12-13, through which to work. Divine healing only works when we honestly believe God’s word and truly love the people for whom we pray.
God’s word is true both in peaceful and turbulent times; thus, God’s will (word) must supersede everything (Matthew 6:10; 26:42), for only God knows His perfect plan, purpose, and timing of life in general and in traumatic situations associated with the end time (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11); therefore, God expects His creation to live humble, unite in peace, and totally trust everything to His care (1 Peter 5:6-7), for God cares most about our spiritual needs—our relationship with Him and others; He knows choosing heaven or hell is our only choice.
God, in 1 Corinthians 10:13, tells us no temptation (adversity or discipline), which is common to humanity, will overtake us, because His faithfulness only allows what, in Him, is manageable, so we can escape the dread, fear, and worry of it, and peacefully trust it to Him.
Hebrews 2:14-15 assures us Christ Jesus gave His life to pay the FULL penalty for our healing, health, sin, guilt, and sin’s power over us (1 Corinthians 15:45-49, 55-58), totally freeing us from the satanic spirit—fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15—from COVID – 19)—because Psalm 23:4, tells us although we walk calmly, slowly, and completely through the valley (not OF death but the FEAR) OF death’s shadow, we are not afraid, for our faithful, protective Lord is guiding us in the sweet relationship we enjoy by Him being in us and us in Him (John 17:20-26).
Thus, in the name of the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17), give the evil satanic spirit behind COVID – 19 (Isaiah 26:3; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Peter 5:6-11), to God and let Him deal with the problem He already knew was coming, and has already overcome for us (John 16:33; Galatians 6:14-15), and we trust to Him, so we can enjoy the Holy Spirit’s power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:12-13, 18-21). The first three words of 1 Corinthians 13:8, are still, “Love never fails”; most holy faith working through God’s love always produces bountiful fruit.
God’s word, is telling us this is common to every Christian—every legal member of Christ’s body, the church worldwide (Colossians 1:18-20), which we experience by the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:9-13; John 16:12-15), so ask, believe, receive, and thoroughly enjoy God’s sweet presence.
First Corinthians 1:30-31 says God placed us in Christ, for Christ to become our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; thus, by us being in Christ, nothing in the outside world that John 16:33 and 1 John 5:5 say is already overcome, cannot touch or harm us (Galatians 6:14-15; 1 John 5:18-21; Psalm 91:7-13); so stay humble in Christ Jesus.
First John 4:7-8, 12-13, 18-19, tell us God’s love perfected in us, lets us love others to expel the satanic spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7), so we enjoy the Holy Spirit’s power, love, and sound mind; thus, as we keep loving God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Israel, and others, we can legally tell the satanic spirit of fear, “In the name of the Lord Jesus, flee from me”. And James 4:6-10 promises he will.
Believe God’s word, take a stand in the authority and power of His word, and put Satan (the devil, d evil 1; Revelation 12:9), on the run (1 John 3:8; James 4:6-8), but then thank God for it.
But if we refuse to live and walk in our God-given authority, someone will take it from us and use it against us, so use our legal, God-given authority in the name of the Lord Jesus (Colossians 3:17), for His glory and honor; be bold (Proverbs 28:1), but also humble (1 Peter 5:6).
