Anti-Covid-19 Promises to Pray Over

Psalm 91 presents protection or obedience when in a relationship with God. These promises are transferred to the New Covenant. Bear in mind that it was Christ who was with the Jews leading Moses as he freed them from Egyptian slavery. 1 Corinthians 10:4

I have distilled the primary texts to pray over, which you can also do with your own Bible:

  1. He who DWELLS IN THE SHELTER of the Highest will abide in the presence of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord: “MY PLACE OF REFUGE – my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver me from the snare of the deadly pestilence. Ps 91:2-3
  2. You will not fear the terror of the pestilence though you can’t see it — the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand near you, but it will not come near you. Ps 91:5-7
  3. Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place — your refuge — no plague will come near you — for the Lord will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. Ps 91: 9-11
  4. Because you stay close to me in love, I will deliver and protect you because you know my name — Jesus. When you call to me, I will be with you to rescue you in trouble — and honour you with deliverance unto long life. Ps 91: 14-16

Balancing doctrine and the Christian experience

For in Christ Jesus the guidance of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law-alone doctrine of sin and death. Romans 6:22

Some Christians focus primarily on intellect and right doctrine and they forget about right living. Others focus primarily on mystical experiences concerning God and they forget about right doctrine. 1 

We need to get a clear connection between both right doctrine and right living. Firstly both need to inform our living – they can’t be separated. For example, doctrine should not be used to bash another’s beliefs. Jesus taught that Gospel, well understood, is “to open our eyes, so we may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then we will receive forgiveness for our sins and be given a place among God’s people, who are set apart by faith in me.” (Acts 26:18 My Personalized Version)

Any antithetical disgust for another Christian’s belief offers only divisional theological turmoil. It can lead to subconsciously priming oneself to hunt for more divisional differences distancing oneself from Christ himself who cautions/commands us to not despise others in the faith. In the home of Lazarus Judas scolded Mary for anointing the feet of Jesus with her hair, yet the Lord saw that her actions rose above the doctrine of the accuser. (John 12: 1-7) We are rather to love one another. Thus theological differences can deceive us to wander from the faith unto degeneracy.

Well understood biblical doctrine and right living,  both used wisely, motivate sanctification unto holiness. Learned doctrine without experiencing the blessings of our Lord is not sanctification. Doctrine is to help stimulate you to listen to God in his scripture, trust and obey. This way the two stimulate sanctification just as the sun and the rain stimulate the growth of a plant.

What’s that vibe agitating my peace?

The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honour to his name. (Psalms 23:1-3 NLT)

How the Lord uses our restlessness The uncomfortable places, the troubling questions about faith and scripture, life and humanity, may bring a sense of disturbing anxiety in your spirit. This is precisely where and when we need to assess our experience. Focus there, and pray to the Lord to reveal what he may be saying to you. Pray about what you may perceive is making you restless.

Prayerfully ask the Lord to give you guidance if a specific area of your life disturbs you, and see what He may be doing. He may be leading and reshaping you in the positive sense; or trying to get your attention to save you from danger or a mistake by showing you how to sidestep wrong paths, as his representative child. He may lead you to the answer by scripture, by his still small voice of conscience, by a sermon or a person.

If you feel out of control. If what it is troubling your spirit continues, stick with praying over the promises below asking the Holy Spirit lead you. Check your will, surrendering all to him. You’ll then honestly want to know what he may be trying to tell you about your current life opportunities or a present risk that you may be facing. If you feel overwhelmed, feeling like you are in over your head in some problematic area, or a lifestyle habit, remember that your God, Jesus, walked on water and will help you overcome if you ask Him.

Bible Promises to Encourage Your Faith

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5–6

Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Psalm 32:8

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

Seeing the Love of Jesus

Image

We love each other because he loved us first. 1 John 4:19

First, we must pray for ourselves that God would send us the Spirit to strengthen our inner man according to His glorious might and power. This is especially important because as you actively seek to know God more, you will become targets of Satan! Yes, here on earth we live in spiritual warfare, either allegiant to Christ or the dark side. We may watch the Game of Thrones, or be interested in the history of the Civil War of the USA, or of World War II, yet never realize that righteous leadership conquers in the end, despite admiring the intense struggles of allegiant men and women standing decisively for the right cause, against the evils and deceit of devilish minions – the cause of every conflict of this world.

Thus, it is paramount that you pray for strength to persevere through the attacks that Jesus promised will come our way as we follow Him.

Second, in order to know Him intimately, we must seek the Lord Himself—not just ideas about Him. Even for Christians, it is easy today to reduce our relationship with God to an abstract, an old ritualization, or an intellectual concept. This, however, will not lead to intimacy with God.

Third, we must see His love in the Gospels, for we love because he first loved us. Christ alone bridges the way to God’s favour. You must acknowledge his love when you read the Gospels. There we respond ourselves: We love each other because he loved us first. 1 John 4:19

Melchizedek: Divine Priest of Abraham

So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 5:5-6)

The Mysterious Melchizedek (Gen 14:17-24) Ps 110:4; Heb 5:6-10; 6:20–7:28 Melchizedek is a mysterious biblical personality whose name means “king of righteousness.” He was a Canaanite priest and king; there is no record of his family or of the beginning or end of his life. Abraham met Melchizedek after defeating four Mesopotamian kings. The Mesopotamians had raided Sodom and Gomorrah and captured Abraham’s nephew Lot (Gen 14:1-16). 

When Abraham returned from battle, Melchizedek, king of Salem (=Jerusalem; see Ps 76:2), was with the grateful kings of the Dead Sea confederacy. When Melchizedek gave Abraham bread, wine, and his blessing, he was acting as “a priest of God Most High” (Gen 14:18), the true God who created heaven and earth (see Ps 7:17; 47:2; 57:2; 78:56). 

Melchizedek correctly understood that Abraham worshipped the true God (Gen 14:22), and he praised God for giving victory to Abraham. Abraham received Melchizedek’s gifts and gave him his tithe, thus recognizing Melchizedek’s higher spiritual rank as a patriarchal priest (see Heb 7:4-7). 

Abraham is an important figure in the old testament because he was chosen by God, to be the father of the Hebrew race, a chosen peculiar people set apart to eventually bring redemption to mankind (Galatians 3:28, John 4:22). He was a man that was physically visited by God manifesting as men. (Genesis 18:1)

A Divine order of Priesthood Melchizedek is an unusual figure in Genesis — an old testament book which gives genealogies for its other characters. Yet Melchizedek appears without any such record. He shows up as a priest and then quickly disappears. Much later in Israel’s history, King David — who also had prophetic insights — was perhaps reflecting on this when he said that the Messiah is “a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek” (Ps 110:4; cp. Heb 7:15-25). 

The New Covenant Connection The book of Hebrews explains this statement, saying that Melchizedek is remembered as “resembling the Son of God” (Heb 7:3), but was not himself the Son of God. His priesthood lasts forever as an archetype that prefigures the Messiah’s priesthood. Like Melchizedek (but unlike the kings of Israel), Jesus is a king who also fulfils priestly functions, which began when he ascended into the presence of the Father. This was testified by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost 50 days after his Ascension to heaven. Melchizedek, a royal priest, was superior to Levi, the ancestor of Israel’s priests. In the same way, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, is a better priest than the descendants of Aaron. 

Your Assurance of Salvation Jesus provides permanent atonement for sins and direct access to his Father through his name (Heb 7:24-28). He guides his people by the Spirit rather than by law (Heb 8:7-13) and lives forever as priest and king for those who love him, spiritually listen to him, trust in him, and obey his Word bearing the fruits of a Spirit-led life.

The Promises of God encourage Trust in the Lord

“…because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” (2 Peter 1:4)

The promises are confidence-building directives relating to living with a good conscience before God obedient to the guidance found in scripture. A promise is uplifting: “a declaration of God’s will, wherein he signifies what particular good things he will freely bestow, and the evils that he will remove.” 1 Promises encourage –they reveal truths that are primarily beneficial to us. 

The promises of God are a storehouse of blessings and a chest of goodwill bequeathed to us by our heavenly Father…It reveals what the Lord our God will do on our behalf; not what He hopes to do or will attempt to perform, but what He has already committed and bound Himself to accomplish for us. 2

God’s promises are uniquely different from God’s threats of disobedience. A promise presents God’s desire for the believers’ good blessings rather than harm. Promises are words delivered to the faithful man or woman who then can earnestly pray over seeking the blessings noted. Over the 42 years since my conversion to Christ, I have used several versions of promise books and compiled my own in several personal documents, categorizing them for devotional life and business guidance. I can attest to you that they are the mainstay of my life. I rise daily before daybreak to see the Lord and pray over the promises, and to determine if he has a message of guidance particular to my circumstances — to my children, grandchildren or a word of encouragement for my Christian friends.

The promises of God are certified words to be believed. Why? Because God spoke them through his prophets and stands behind them. Any other ideas we have about the blessings of God are presumptuous, man-made ideas. (Heb. 11:11) Promises are valuable words which deliver power to the soul as conduit leverage in our prayer life. The Holy Spirit testifies to our spirit that we are the children of God who turn to their father in heaven for encouragement. (Romans 8:14) We can actually dialogue with the Lord, speaking his own word back as promissory notes he has made to us. David makes this evident when he prays, “For you, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you” (2 Samuel 7:27)

Through faith in Christ, we uphold the Words of God (Rom. 3:31; 8:1–4) attesting our promise as heirs of these promises (Gal. 3:14, 29).

NOAH’S WAY: Finding Favour with God

Trusting God When Others Don’t Because Noah was a righteous man who listened and trusted the Lord, God commanded him to build an ark (Gen. 6:14). This wasn’t a small project because the ark was to be 450 feet long, 50 feet wide, and three stories tall. Nothing like it had ever been built before, so Noah could have made excuses, but he trusted God and did exactly what he was told. 

Sometimes in our obedience to the Lord, we may not understand how it will all work out or even how we are to accomplish it. Our human nature wants a full explanation of all that’s required before we proceed, but the Lord wants us to believe Him and obey. If we’ll trust Him enough to take the first step, we can be sure that God will provide what we need to take the next step. And if we need further direction, we can ask Him earnest questions in prayer being confident that He will reveal what we need to know.

Noah’s Trust in God Although the Lord’s command to build an ark seemed absurd to his neighbours, Noah trusted God and carefully followed His instructions regarding how to build it. Every step of the way, Noah had to rely on the Lord to provide materials and guidance for the construction of the ark. It had no rudder because God was going to steer it. There were no sails since the Lord would power it, and there was no need for a compass because God would direct its course. All the instructions were clear so Noah would know exactly what to do. 

Trust is also essential in our lives as we walk with the Lord. Without it, we’d be like a car without wheels going nowhere in life. If God gives us a command, He assumes the responsibility for providing the means for us to follow it. If we always insist on having all our questions answered before we move forward, we never will. Like Noah, we can count on the Lord to provide whatever we need to accomplish His will. Whether it’s resources, finances, or specific directions about what to do next, all we need to do is ask God and wait for Him to provide in His time.

Noah’s Formula for Living The example Noah gives us could be called the ABCs for life—Listen to the Lord, Trust Him, and then Obey. Listen. Trust. Obey — beautifully easy to remember. This simple formula is God’s solution for living in a sinful world, and it can be applied to every area of our lives. Yet sometimes listening, trusting, and obeying God scares us because we fear that we won’t be understood by others or might lose out in some way. However, anytime we follow the Lord’s instructions we win, simply because we’ve obeyed Him. 

To live a godly life, we must listen to God by reading His Word and trusting what He says. Then we step out in obedience, knowing that He has all knowledge and all power in every circumstance in life. Nothing is beyond Him. Furthermore, blessings follow obedience. Because Noah listened, trusted, and obeyed God, one family was saved from the flood—and a new civilization began.

Promises: Old Testament

The following is probably the most thorough collection of Old Testament promises in the Bible. 1 May you be blessed – as Peter noted: …he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
