🍞 Manna for Meditation 70

💞 Dear Royal Praying Priests, shalom!

💎 “‘You are My witnesses’—it is a declaration of Adonai— ‘and My Servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no God was formed, and there will none after Me.’” (Isa 43:9-10, TLV)

💎 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have shalom. In the world you will have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world!” (Jhn 16:33)

Due to the fast spread and more confirmed cases of the new coronavirus, it not only has been making headlines worldwide but also causes the prayerful concerns of our Indigenous Ministry Partners in Central Asia and Israel.

One of our Central Asian Ministry Partners said, “The whole world is now living in fear due to the coronavirus. In our ministry, we do not want to fear, but keep on praying!” Yes, the new coronavirus may be all over the news, and many people are worried and anxious. But, we can have the same trust and shalom that our Central Asian Ministry Partner demonstrates!

We are chosen by Adonai as His witnesses and servants. It is wise and appropriate to protect ourselves against the spread of the deadly new coronavirus, and at the same time, do not forget who we are in Messiah.

Yeshua told us that troubles and sufferings will always exist, but He has promised to give us shalom. We can take heart, we can put our trust in Him and we can witness His love, power and truth in light of this crisis. Amen.

Dear Father, as the outbreak of the new coronavirus becomes a global concern, we ask You to help us walk in faith and wisdom instead of walking in fear and anxiety. In the Name of Yeshua, we take up our priestly authority to stand in the gap. We pray for those who have the virus to be healed and we pray for the end of the virus. In the Name of Yeshua, we bless all governments with Your wisdom and God-given skills in decision-making. We pray for supernatural protection over the doctors and nurses, and we pray for scientists and biomedical engineers to find the cure. Empower us to witness effectively for any open doors to share Your love, truth, grace and power. In the Name of Yeshua we pray, Amen!
