In the midst of this worldwide health crisis known as the Corona virus, it’s important that we recognize that we believers have a hope that the world does not know. It’s at times like these that we must hold onto our faith, and be a light in the midst of darkness.
Let’s consider some Biblical truths:
. . . according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. (Eph 3:11-12)
Our Father God accomplished His eternal purpose through Jesus Christ by giving mankind the gift of salvation. In Jesus, through Him and by Him, all who have accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, have been given access to our Father God; and as a result, we may have full confidence in our relationship with Him. Hallelujah!
Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. (Heb 10:35)
So do not abandon your assurance and faith in Jesus Christ and in His salvation. Hold onto your faith; take a firm grasp of your salvation and never let it go!
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (1 Joh 5:14-15)
This is a precious promise from God for us TODAY. We know that when we ask for something that agrees with the will of God, He hears us AND He gives us the specific answer for which we have asked.
You may ask, “How do I know if it’s God will for me to be healthy and well?” Here is how you may KNOW:
- Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3 Joh 2) This passage would not be in the Bible if God did not want us to be healthy.
- My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. (Pro 3:1-2) God shares His wisdom with us that as we hide His Word in our hearts, it will add long life and peace to us.
- It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones. (Pro 3:8) God is again telling us that His Word, sown into our hearts and minds, will give health to our physical bodies and strength to our very bones.
- For I am the Lord who heals you. (Ex 15:26c) The Lord declares that He is our Healer! If it was not His will for us to be healthy, He would not declare Himself to be the Mighty One who heals us.
Believe in and rely upon these supernatural words of power from God. Place your faith in Him and in His Word. Be unshakeable and stubborn in your faith in God, dear brothers and sisters! Hope in Christ who is our health, our strength, our life.
