The prayer below was sent to me by Ken and Sylvia Thornberg, and I want to pass it on to you. Prayer changes things. Let's come into agreement that this virus will be halted in its tracks.

PLEASE PRAY ALOUD:

“Heavenly Father, I worship You, knowing that You care about the circumstances surrounding the deadly Covid-19 virus that is attacking the people of the earth.  I believe that You have given people authority in Christ Jesus to stop this plague according to Your Word.  Jesus said: 

I received an email in the last 24 hours that my sister has been terribly sick for many days, with a fever of 102. Her doctor has had her tested for the coronavirus, but it will be ten days before the results come back so we are not 100% sure of the diagnosis. Either way, right now she is separated from her family, afraid and in pain.

Because of Covid-19, we have all been told to self-quarantine in our homes for a month. Wow! I am 68 and NEVER has our nation told us to do such a thing!

Some churches are not doing it. A church in Tampa last week held services, and the pastor was arrested.

I was sent the email below from Ken and Sylvia Thornberg. They head up Freedom Encounters which appears to be an outstanding ministry. I am looking forward to getting more acquainted with them and the counseling services they offer to all. You may want to check them out, as well. The prayer below is also available in Spanish, so please forward this to your Spanish-speaking friends so they can join with us in intercession too. Thank you!

Praying in tongues is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7-11). It is a gift from God, enabling us in our prayer lives. When we pray in tongues, we speak mysteries to God and build up our spirits. Sounds really good to me! Why wouldn't I want to do this?

The Lord has given me a specific spiritual project to complete during my weeks of quarantine. I am loving it and working diligently with His anointing to accomplish it. It is to re-write our book Prayers That Heal the Heart so it is much more user friendly.

I received this request to pass on - Global Day Of Prayer -  Christians Unite Against COVID-19.

A day of World Prayer is announced for THIS SUNDAY (TODAY) Sunday 22nd March 2020 at 12:00 local time. All Christians are invited to join FROM HOME from 12:00 - 13:00 hrs so the whole globe is covered for 24 hours. Obviously many of you will receive this on Monday, so make Monday your focused time of prayer. And praying continuously concerning this is wise for all of us.

Praying for:

1. An end to the spread of the virus

The amazing thing is that we DO have a Wonderful Counselor! Yes, it is true schools and colleges and sporting events have shut down. Businesses, stores, cruises, and theme parks have closed. Nations have sealed their borders. Fear is ready to surmount reason.

In the midst of this, the Bible says:

For a child will be born to us … the government will rest on His shoulders… His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6).
