Joshua 7:5 “…The people’s heart melted and became like water.”
Just like Joshua’s prayer to YHVH after the defeat by the people of Ai,
We should ask YHVH:
Alas, my Lord, YHVH Elohim. Why have You allowed this plague of Egypt to befall upon the nations? How have the nations erred and what is the truth of this matter?
Below are phrases or procedures that have come out during the COVID-19 crisis:
- Stay At Home: YHVHs purpose for us to stay at home is protection from his wrath; Isaiah 26:20-21 – Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the LORD comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain. (NKJV). We need to look to YHVH and stand in awe of His great works. Psalms 33:6-22.
- Social distancing – is a demonic attack on Echad, Gen 2:24. As believers we have strength in numbers. This attack is said to be done to stop the spread of the virus, but we can call in the name of Yeshua and bind and rebuke the spread of any illness, sickness or ailment. Matt 16:19. Yeshua healed Peter’s mother-in-law by taking her hand while she had a fever. (He was not afraid of her fever). He cast out the demon tied to the fever. Just like the demons tied to the virus and the disease can be cast out. Matt 8:14. Were called to Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons. We’ve received freely and we need to give freely. Matthew 10:8.
- Safer at home order – For many people it has felt like bondage to be at home. This is the opposite of Behold in the tent. Gen 18:9. YHVH establishes are boundary. When He establishes are boundary we have spiritual authority within our boundary to remove any evil from its midst. Abraham was given his boundary for him and his descendants forever. Gen 13:14.
- Food rationing – result of fear and hoarding. Lack of faith in YHVH to provide all of our needs. Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
- Closing schools, cancelled graduations, proms, schools sports and activities – we’ve relied on a system that has opened doors in our children, that go against the standards and teachings of YHVH. We are to train our children up in the understanding and instruction of His word. Deu 6:1-9. We were to talk of them when we sit in the house, walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up. The closing of schools has forced parents to teach the children and ensure that their studies are completed. Psalms 32:8 – I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
- Closing businesses – Business large, mediums and small alike have seen a drastic stop in business. Rev 18:11-18. The business are weeping for the lack of business. Many of these industries offer services which go against the teaching and instruction of YHVH. With unjust weights and measures Lev 19:36, they holding onto collateral even though its the only protection the borrower has. Gen 24:10-15, they have collateral that is pledged for more than 7 years. Deu 15:1-6. Many of these business go against what YHVH deems and spiritually righteous, clean and holy. Gen 18:16-33.
- Our health care system has been overwhelmed and doesn’t have enough supplies and ventilators for many of those afflicted with the Corona Virus – Matthew 10:5-10; If the body of believers was operating like the 12 disciples, the health care system would not be overwhelmed. We also would only have those with the affliction in quarantine along with the health care workers. The healthcare workers would also follow YHVH’s standard of clean and follow that instruction. YHVH breathed the breath of life into Adam directly into his nostrils. This attack on the respiratory system is attacking how YHVH caused us to come to life Gen 2:7.
- Medically compromised individuals – Ex 4:31 So the people believed; and when they heard that the L
ORD had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped. These medically compromised individual listed as those with cancer, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease and heart disease are afflicted. If these people believe in YHVH they can be healed just like anyone else. Those over 60/65. – The parable of the sower – Matthew 13:1-9; Parable of the sower explained Matthew 13:18-23; The number 60 means pride, age of intelligence.
- Wearing Masks in public places – Moses wore a veil because the Glory of YHVH shone from his face, Ex 34:33-35, and the people were afraid of him. Now those for those who are not wearing masks in public people look at them fearfully. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, in the image of YHVH. Psalms 139:14. We should go out in fear in public or be afraid of those in public with or without masks. Our protection is in HIM, not in the mask. He will not leave us or forsake us. Deu 4:30-31.
- 3 or 6 feet distancing – further attack on Echad; 3 means Divine of YHVH and 6 means man. But YHVH has called us where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there with them. Matt 18:20.
- This is the new normal. – Changes as a result of fear. A new type of bondage. Just like how after the 9-11 attacks, measures were put into place that are now the new normal. YHVH removed us from Egypt (World Systems of Bondage) and took us to a land flowing with Milk and Honey. Ex 6:1-13.
- First responders – Medical professionals at the front lines. But the front line is supposed to be those in intercessory prayer. Like the Ark of the Covenant going before the Children of Israel when they attacked Jericho. Josh 6:1-27.
- Hot spot – a city or town where the virus has erupted quickly. This is the place where spiritual prayer and spiritual warfare should be directed. 2 Corinthians 10:1-6.
- Death/fatality predictions – keeping the focus on the death and not life. Just like Lazarus who was dead in the grave 4 days, he was resurrected by Yeshua. Death doesn’t stand in the way of YHVH or Yeshua. John 11:1-44.
- PPE – Personal Protective Equipment – our PPE in Christ is the Armor of God. Ephesians 6:11
- Great Depression like unemployment – YHVH is our provider and our faith in Him will see us through any fire or tragedy. Psalms 119.
