The year has been thrusted upon us with this crisis of this virus.
[9]
But God is always ahead of the devil.
[12]
In fact, 2 years ago, in one of my messages, I actually— sometimes when I preach, it
[17]
is in the Spirit of prophecy— I'll prophesy about the future.
[20]
And you know this virus happened towards the end of last year, which was still 2019.
[27]
That's why they call it COVID-19.
[28]
Alright?
[29]
But in 2018, I prophesied and talked about a new strain of virus that was coming.
[35]
Sit back, watch.
[36]
Amen?
[37]
So obviously, God has done something in the Spirit world.
[39]
God has released a healing anointing, a new strain of healing that would perform such
[48]
feats that we have never seen before.
[50]
The devil is afraid and he is playing catch up.
[52]
He's trying to create a new strain of virus that is like Ebola and a strain of flu that
[58]
is virulent against medical treatment.
[61]
But, I want you to know that we are in the best of generations.
[66]
The rapture can happen anytime.
[67]
We are a generation that believes that we don't have to depend on the ways of the world.
[73]
We are that generation that delights in God's word.
[76]
That is why you are all here!
[77]
You are here because you delight in God's word.
[80]
You delight in God's word.
[81]
That's why you are here, amen?
[83]
Amen?
[84]
That's why you are here.
[85]
And that's why we are all here.
[86]
We are here to listen to what God has to say about this and what is God's answer.
[90]
God never plays catch up.
[91]
The devil plays catch up.
[92]
So even 2 years ago when I prophesied— I prophesied about it in other sermons as well—
[99]
I mentioned that there would be a new strain of virus.
[101]
It is a flu-like virus which would be virulent against medical science and what they can
[109]
handle in the natural.
[111]
Something unseen can cause such devastation.
[114]
During this time, God wants us to look to Him.
[116]
And it is a time where even as believers, we have to ask ourselves this: "What do we
[119]
really believe?"
[120]
We can do all we can, but only God can protect us.
[123]
Do you know what I'm saying?
[125]
Be wise.
[126]
By all means, be wise.
[127]
You know the devil came to Jesus and said, why don’t you jump down?
[130]
You know the Bible says it’s the only time the Bible says that the devil quotes the Bible.
[137]
The only time he quoted the Bible, was in the testing, in the wilderness, where he told
[141]
Jesus to jump down, alright from the pinnacle of the temple, and he says that the Bible
[148]
says, “The angels will be bear you up in their hands lest you dash your foot against
[152]
the stone”.
[153]
There are two things about the devil when he quotes the Bible.
[155]
He never quotes accurately.
[156]
He left out the word, “to keep you in all your ways”.
[161]
God wants to keep you.
[162]
Number two is this, if you meditate on God’s Word, you know it says, “the angels will
[166]
bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against the stone”, it talks about
[170]
normal life.
[171]
When you walk normally, you don’t see the dangers around you, but you know something,
[175]
God will keep you from even hitting a stone.
[179]
But if you jump down, that is not walking.
[183]
That is stupid.
[184]
Amen.
[185]
When you jump down, you won’t hit your foot against a stone.
[188]
You will crack your head on the stone.
[191]
The revelation is so simple!
[194]
The Lord is telling us to not be afraid during this time.
[196]
There are dangers all around us all the time, not only during this virus attack!
[200]
There are all kinds of dangers around!
[203]
We are just more aware of it because it is more conspicuous.
[206]
It is a daily walk.
[207]
A daily walk, and if you don’t see a rock in front of you and you stub your toe against
[213]
it, the Bible says, the angels will bear you up.
[215]
It’s like if I have angel Gabriel, Amen, would you come real quick.
[222]
Pastor Joe, will you come, will you come real quick.
[225]
Alright, ok let’s get a light person, Brian, come, Brian come.
[231]
Brian is really light, look at his, no muscles at all.
[235]
By the way, this is called wings ok.
[237]
Now, watch this, alright.
[240]
Left and right, ok left and right, you are in the centre.
[244]
Ok?
[245]
So you are walking, the angels, and there is a big rock, ok, let’s pretend this is
[247]
a rock, you all both carry him right over ok.
[250]
Let’s say he is walking, he’s walking, he’s walking, he’s walking, he’s walking,
[253]
ok walk, walk, walk.
[254]
He don’t see the rock, ok, he doesn’t know what happens.
[257]
Amen?
[258]
This is what it means, they shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot
[262]
against a stone.
[263]
Amen.
[264]
This guy’s body is ripped, I am telling you, that’s why he is our security guy and
[269]
breathing hard?
[270]
You need to exercise more.
[273]
Ok.
[274]
Alright, so Jesus said in Luke 10:19, I love this verse, “Behold I give to you authority
[279]
to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy.”
[285]
God will always make sure the devil is at your feet.
[288]
Amen, and then you just trample him without realising.
[290]
In other words, go by your own way, walking with God and don’t worry about the devil.
[295]
Amen?
[296]
Some people are always conscience of the devil, don’t have to be conscience of him.
[300]
Just go your way and then if he is in your way, you will trample on him.
[304]
You will trample on the serpents and scorpions.
[308]
This reminds you of Psalms 91, right?
[311]
Am I right?
[312]
What does it say?
[313]
“You shall tread on the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample
[319]
underfoot”.
[320]
Amen.
[321]
And I love this verse, it says, notice that it says, I give you authority to trample on
[325]
serpents and scorpions.
[326]
Jesus is talking, and over “all”, over how much?
[330]
Over all the power of the enemy and nothing, no-thing, no thing, nothing, zero, no-thing,
[336]
nothing shall by any means hurt you.
[338]
In the Greek, by any means is a double negative, and very seldom we use double negative.
[343]
But when double negative is used, like for example, the Lord shall not, “blessed is
[347]
the man whom the Lord shall not,” (is double negative), “impute sin to him.”
[351]
The righteousness of faith that David described that all of us.
[354]
Now same thing, nothing shall by no means, in any way hurt you.
[361]
When are we going to believe that?
[362]
You know it does not happen automatically, it happens to those who believe, because faith
[366]
is the currency of heaven.
[367]
Amen.
[368]
You go to China, renminbi is the currency, you go to Singapore, it is dollars.
[372]
Amen.
[373]
You go to some place in the world, it is yen.
[375]
But you know what?
[376]
God’s currency is faith.
[380]
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
[382]
And the devil wants God’s people to be in fear.
[384]
All God’s people say this right now, for God has not given me the spirit of fear, say
[389]
it like you mean it.
[390]
For God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
[397]
Like I said before, you can't tell if you are protected from a virus because the virus
[405]
cannot be seen.
[409]
It is not palpable, it is not visible.
[412]
Right?
[414]
But guess what, we've got a testimony already from our church.
[418]
Listen to this.
[426]
In early February, I received a call from my sister-in-law, informing me that one of
[434]
our relatives tested positive for the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
[439]
My family was in contact with that relative during the Chinese New Year period.
[444]
During the celebration, this relative of ours was going around and chatting with us.
[451]
After he was diagnosed, my family and relatives (some of whom are believers) were informed
[459]
by the Ministry Of Health that we needed to be quarantined for 14 days since the time
[464]
of our first contact with him.
[466]
As it had already been 12 days since we met him, my family and I only had another 2 days
[473]
of quarantine order to serve.
[474]
During this period, the devil began playing mind games with me, making me feel condemned
[481]
for being out and about with my children, and possibly passing on the virus to others.
[486]
My husband encouraged me to trust the Lord, and not overthink.
[490]
During the 2 days, we partook of the holy Communion daily and declared Psalm 91 together.
[494]
The verses encouraged us greatly.
[496]
During one of the Sunday services, Pastor Prince shared on John G Lake’s testimony
[499]
during the bubonic plague, when the virus would die the moment it touched his body.
[503]
When my husband heard it, he started to claim the same for our family.
[507]
Last week, we were all released from the quarantine order without contracting the virus!
[513]
The infected relative got better and was recently discharged from the hospital after multiple
[519]
tests came back negative.
[520]
God is so good.
[521]
He protected us and kept all of us safe!
[522]
The battle is truly the Lord’s.
