“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Luke 10:19
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Matthew 16:19
The Lord has given us the tools we need to defeat the enemy.
With regard to questions about the spread and severity of the chicom wukungflu I have my own opinion. I haven't posted this publicly because I know we vary in our faiths, religion, denominations here. But, I submit that prayers have been heard, are being acted upon and God is honoring our efforts to mitigate this attack.
I believe some of the reports we see that are causing questions about the reality/severity of the illness are the counterattacks of our spiritual enemy. I do not doubt that the media represents that enemy. It's important that we continue to apply critical thinking and live responsibly in these times. We must behave in our natural world with His love and compassion for our neighbors, doing all we can to not spread sicknss. But, for myself, I also want to apply the same critical thinking to my praise and thanksgiving to God.
I absolutely mean no correction or slight to anyone else's thoughts and opinions. Far from that, I see much evidence that many of the group and individual prayers are being answered and I celebrate!
