In this age of Coronavirus, Ebola, HIV-1, and SARS - in which there is no known absolute cure for any of them - in science. There is one known cure for all of them in the Bible.
Psalm 91, I think, is one of the most important chapters in the Bible, especially in this age - this age of diseases. Twice in this Psalm it mentions a deadly pestilence. It mentions that GOD WILL DELIVER YOU FROM A DEADLY PESTILENCE, AND YOU WILL NOT FEAR THE DEADLY PESTILENCE. I do not think there is a better prayer in this age, or any other age, than Psalm 91.
Can you imagine living a life of not having to fear a deadly disease or the other major problems listed in this Psalm?
I have written before, I know mass prayer by many people will cure any disease, stop a war, take care of a bad situation, save lives, etc. But I know it's hard to get thousands or millions of people to pray en masse on a subject. So the next best thing is to protect yourself and your family from a bad situation.
To do this you have to make yourself right with God, you can't just come out of nowhere and pray "end the Coronavirus, Lord" and expect it to happen. First, turn your life over to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you of all of your sins, declare you want Jesus in your life, declare He is the Son of God. Go off in a corner someplace and recite this prayer:
"Jesus, forgive my sins, Come into my life and guide me, I know You are the Son of God, The only Son of God, And that You died for my sins, And that You rose again to life eternal And that through You, My sins are forgiven So that I too may have eternal life In the Kingdom of God In the Kingdom of Heaven Please come into my life And guide me, Jesus"
Now, forgive the sins of anyone who has sinned against you - obey the Ten Commandments - pray and read the Bible every day. When you feel you are right with God, then pray for the protection of you and your family, include Psalm 91 in your prayers.
If possible memorize Psalm 91 and recite it at least twice a day, in the Am and Pm. I know this sounds like a lot to do, but it’s really not that much, once you get into the swing of it. And believe me the payoff is worth it. When you pray Psalm 91, you are taking God’s Word that He will protect you from any deadly pestilence, snares, scourges, terrors, destruction, wild beasts, etc., there will be no fear of them. The last 3 verses (14,15, and 16) is God Himself talking to all of us.
If you do not have a Bible, get one soon. Until then, here is Psalm 91. Recite it, believe it, memorize it if you can.
1 You who live in the shelter
Of the Most High,
Who abide in the shadow
Of the Almighty,
2 will say to the Lord, “My
Refuge and my fortress;
My God , in whom I trust,”
3 For He will deliver you from
The snare of the fowler
And from the deadly
PESTILENCE;
4 He will cover you with His
Pinions
And under His wings you
Will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield
And buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror
Of the night,
Or the arrow that flies by
Day,
6 or the PESTILENCE that stalks
In darkness
Or the destruction that
Wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at your
Side,
Ten thousand at your right
Hand,
But it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your
Eyes
And see the punishment of
The wicked
9 Because you have made the
Lord your refuge,
The Most High your
Dwelling place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
No scourge come near your
Tent.
11 For He will command His
Angels concerning you
To guard you in all your
Ways.
12 On their hands they will bear
You up,
So that you will not dash
Your foot against a
Stone.
13 You will tread on the lion
And the adder,
The young lion and the
Serpent you will
Trample under foot.
14 Those who love Me, I will
Deliver;
I will protect those who
Know My Name
15 When they call to Me, I will
Answer them;
I will be with them in
Trouble,
I will rescue them and
Honor them,
16 With long life I will satisfy
Them,
And show them My
Salvation.
If this prayer seems a little too long to memorize, write it down on paper and carry it with you. When you pray this Psalm tell God you are praying it over your family, over the United States of America, and over Israel. (Always pray for Israel).
If your heart is right with God, you now have His Word He will protect you from the deadly pestilence.
One last thing, now that you are protected from pestilence, do not tempt God to prove it by putting yourself somewhere in a coronavirus environment without the usual protection. Remember what God did to those in the desert, when they tempted Him, in the books of Moses. Just live your normal life. Be safe, believe in God’s Word, and you will be OK.
God Bless You
