The news is getting grimmer and fear is spreading throughout the world as word of new cases of the Coronavirus continues to increase. What is the difference between the Coronavirus and the regular flu virus?

Did you know that during the 2018-19 winter some 80,000 Americans died from complications of the common flu. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), some 45 million Americans came down with the flu. Between 14-21 million visited a medical doctor for treatment and 310,000 to 560,000 ended up in a hospital. To make it worse, the regular flu vaccine was not very effective during the 2018-19 flu season.

The mainstream media and the Democratic Party were not concerned with the flu in 2018-19. Matter of fact, life went on as usual and there were no daily reports of people dying from the flu like there is now.

THE CORONAVIRUS

Why is there an alarm for the Coronavirus? It is simply another variant of the flu virus. The answer may surprise you. The Coronavirus was created in a Chinese biological warfare laboratory. It was designed to be contagious and hard to detect, since the incubation period varies from 4 to 14 days. This means a person can be asymptomatic, signified by the fact that they are not coughing, exhibiting fever or having shortness of breath during the incubation period.

Even though the Coronavirus originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, the communist government took draconian measures to stop the virus from spreading. Some 80 million Chinese people were forced into quarantine and cities turned into ghost towns.

All governments of the world know the Coronavirus is a biological weapon, but unlike the regular flu, drastic measures have been taken to contain the spread of it. You have a greater chance of getting the regular flu but no one is concerned with that.

THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

God doesn’t want us to be afraid. The spirit of fear that is gripping the American people is from the Devil.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

Would you believe that I have never received a flu vaccine nor have I have ever been sick because of the flu. Vaccines are contaminated because the animal stocks used to make the antidote are infected with diseases from the breeding mills. I make it a point not to put myself at risk of being contaminated with a tainted vaccine. I have been walking with the Lord since 1965 and my mindset has been that God is able to protect me.

“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4)

I believe that the power of God is stronger than anything the Devil can come up with and I refuse to give in to fear. If a virus enters my body, it has to die, because it is trespassing on the Lord’s possession. I am the property of God. I was purchased at Calvary by Jesus and there is nothing the Devil can do about that. Jesus is watching over me. That does not mean that I can't get sick, but the moment I am attacked, I begin to fight back and claim that the power of God is surging in my body. At that point, the Devil has to back off. Germs and viruses have no choice but to die and be ejected from my body.

“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:16-18)

Christians should be standing upon the Word of God, particularly what Jesus spoke while He was walking on the earth. I have stood on the promises of Jesus for more than 55 years and He has never let me down. I can say with confidence that His Word is eternal.

People in the world are living in fear because the mainstream media is hyping up the situation. The Democrats are like Chicken Little, operating under the belief that disaster is imminent. But all is not lost. There is no crisis in heaven. God is still on His throne and He has a solution to every problem.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. (Mark 16:15-20)

GOD'S VACCINE

Let us apply the Word of God and allow it to do the work and then watch what God is going to do in your life.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

The Word of God is powerful. When you apply it to your life, it will bolster your soul and spirit and bring healing to your body. Read the Bible and develop the same attitude as Jesus.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

Instead of living in fear and anxiety, open up your Bible and read it until your soul is filled. The Word of God is our only offensive weapon mentioned in the armor of God.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints…” (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Go to war with the Devil and his minions in the same way Jesus did.

“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.” (Matthew 4:1-11)

Instead of living in fear and anxiety, read Psalm 91 over and over again until it permeates your soul and spirit.

Psalms 91:1-16

(1)  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

(2)  I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

(3)  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

(4)  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

(5)  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

(6)  Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

(7)  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

(8)  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

(9)  Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

(10)  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

(11)  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

(12)  They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

(13)  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

(14)  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

(15)  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

(16)  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Quote the Scriptures to Satan and let the power of God’s Word loose in your life. Start to live like a King's kid. Don’t be a fearful loser.
