Society has done a fantastic job focusing our attention on the coronavirus. The media covers cases of coronavirus throughout the day, our jobs send us health precaution emails, and we see what people on social media are saying about it. The more we hear about it, the more it dominates our thinking. It’s okay to have basic knowledge of it but hearing about the coronavirus in such high volume brings fear.
Some of us focus on the coronavirus so much until we forget about Christ. Galatians 3:13 says, Christ has redeemed or rescued us from the curse of the law. One of the curses we’ve been rescued from is the curse of sickness (Deut. 28:61). Since we’ve been rescued from every type of sickness, the coronavirus, Ebola, bird flu, or whatever else has no right to invade our bodies. In the words of Isaiah, no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isa. 54:17).
Whatever we focus our attention on will control our lives. By putting our faith in God and what Christ has redeemed us from, we can live a freeing fearless life. What will you focus on?
Deuteronomy 28:61 Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will the LORD bring upon you until you are destroyed.
Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
Confessions: Now, if you have a particular sickness, say, “This (name the sickness) is part of the curse of the law. But Galatians 3:13 says that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. Therefore, I have been redeemed from (name the sickness)!” Believe and confess that every day, and as surely as Jesus took every curse of sickness, your healing will break forth!
