Swine Flu

Here is an email I just received from Pastor Bojan Jancic, City Light Church, New York.

In yesterday's service I ministered on the integrity of the Word of God and the ability of God's Word to shield you, protect you, work for you, and prosper you. The Word of God is God Himself, and when you speak it, the Holy Spirit moves over that Word to bring it to pass in your life. "Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it." Jeremiah 1:12 (Amplified Bible)

Today, we are hearing outbreaks of the deadly swine flu, which has more cases of it in New York than any other state. When SARS broke out in Asia back in 2003, many people panicked as the threat of this pandemic took many lives. However, there are several churches in Southeast Asia, some with memberships of over 17,000 people that DID NOT SEE ONE CASE of SARS break out in their church. Why?

Because they believed and confessed God's promises of protection found in His Word. David called God's Word "my shield and my buckler." I am writing you today to encourage you to fear not. I believe that not one person who believes God's promises will experience the swine flu. You can rest easy knowing that you are tucked away in the secret place of the most high, and no evil thing will come near you (Psalms 91).

I am including several scriptures on God's protection for you to memorize, meditate on, and speak over your life. Remember, the Word of God will literally WORK on your behalf, if you believe it and speak it. I am also including a prayer manual I compiled many years ago that is filled with various scriptures on many topics. It will be a great aid to you as you seek to put His Word first place in your life.
Be blessed and enjoy living in DIVINE HEALTH!

P.S. A great passage to commit to memory is Psalm 91. History tells of many believers citing this passage as the one that shielded them from the bubonic plague that devastated medieval Europe.

Is Pastor Bojan Overstating God’s Protection?
Not if you read God’s Word.
Read Psalm 91 and ask God what His will for you is.

Psalm 91 (The Message)
You who sit down in the High God's presence,
spend the night in Shaddai's shadow,
Say this: "God, you're my refuge.
I trust in you and I'm safe!"
That's right—he rescues you from hidden traps,
shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—
under them you're perfectly safe;
his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,
not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,
not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
drop like flies right and left,
no harm will even graze you.
You'll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,
watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God's your refuge,
the High God your very own home,
Evil can't get close to you,
harm can't get through the door.
He ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they'll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You'll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

"If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says God,
"I'll get you out of any trouble.
I'll give you the best of care
if you'll only get to know and trust me.
Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times;
I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I'll give you a long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!"
