If God Can Stop a Pandemic Why Doesn't He?

If God Can Stop a Pandemic Why Doesn't He?​

Let us consider that God may choose not to stop this pandemic, simply because He cares more about the disease in our hearts than disease in our bodies (Ezekiel 36:26, Jeremiah 17:9). My husband recently answered this question in his sermon titled, The Authority of Jesus:

“When disaster strikes, we experience suffering and evil - often we can ask - God how can you allow this? A common objection to the Christian faith is, “How can a good God allow so much evil in the world?” But I wonder if it’s not God’s goodness and grace that allow us to see, experience, and feel the brokenness in the world that is. How can a good God not allow suffering and brokenness in the world? To show humanity the true reality of what it is. It is broken. It seems to me, that God is gracious and kind to show us, and allow us to experience this present world in all of its brokenness, evil and darkness. This reveals not that something is wrong with God but something is wrong with His creation. It calls us to consider that there must be more.”

I am led to believe that God does not put a sudden stop to the COVID-19 pandemic because God is not done revealing the greatness of who He is. Suffering exposes the state of our broken humanity and our great need for a Savior. God allows disease to flood the earth to bring us to our knees—to see His majesty and share Him with others (Hebrews 1:3, Matthew 28:16-20, Philippians 2:9-11). May this season call us to repentance, to turn from our sin and selfishness, and put our faith in the one, true, everlasting God (2 Peter 3:9).

If God Can Stop This Pandemic Why Doesn't He?

The current state of our world is uneasy at best. It seems each one of us is choosing to handle the COVID-19 crisis differently. We see memes popping up all over social media making light of a dire situation. Friends and family in medical...

I believe that evil and suffering is there to test our faith in the Lord and to learn to accept evil as well as accept good!

Maybe one of the reasons for Covid-19 is that God is showing us that the world is so broken including millions of His children in the Body of Christ. Many Christians think outside of the Bible for solutions to their problems because they don’t read their Bible. We have got to live in God’s Word, live the Word, and pray for our Nation and the World.

I don't question God in this pandemic because He does give us freedom in it. He calls Himself our Dwelling Place, our Habitation, He calls Himself our Rock, the Living Water, He says He is Above Us as well as Through Us, His Word Became flesh and He Dwelt Among Us, He Redeemed Us, He died for Us, He says if we seek for Him that we will in fact find Him, His Word is Truth, something that can be depent on and He literally says that if we make Him our Habitation that no plague will come nigh us so why are we concerned about a pandemic that can't come near us? The things that are happening are told about in Scripture so why do we allow questions to consume us especially when we can protect ourselves by claiming the promises written for us? Who am I going to listen to? Jesus or man?

What did Jesus do when He saw someone sick or in need of Healing? Did He say put on a mask and social distance? No He most certainly did not! He embraced us, He made eyes for us, He Healed us and He commanded us to do the same. Granted at first fear has tried to consume me but fear is not allowed in me so I continue as if I'm immune to this virus and at times I don't even think about it because what is the point in thinking about something that can't harm me?

I know others depend on Jesus for Salvation but they don't know about Psalms 91 or other places to declare sickness leave me in Jesus so they instead worry about a vaccine that they don't even need. We at times roll over in defeat when we needed to Stand in Triumph in Jesus with Jesus All Around us as He is God Himself who Grants His Children, His Followers a Freedom that we can forget that we Have especially when we Have the Godhead Living in Us who made everything and we can declare all of His Promises for us to go out and ignore social distance, ignore wearing a mask Because we only Believe what Jesus said, what Jesus Did and what Jesus will Do and I Believe Jesus is about to Rapture us like never Before, Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus and I choose to Believe like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that my God can protect me from the fires of a pandemic and if He doesn't than it can Bless me to leave this place so I can take my seat in the Heavens and be with Jesus for evermore! Glory to You Lord Jesus!

Make fear leave us, open our eyes and ears unto You Lord Jesus and deliver us from anything that we can't see, Bless us to Depend upon You for everything that You have had written for us to Declare for ourselves and Bless us to be a Blessing unto others, leading them to You, Bless us with Your Strength through Joy in You and Bless us with the Peace that we don't understand, grant us victory to Do what You have said, take away our fear of a Hug that can't harm us, grant us victory in You to Proclaim the Name above names Jesus that nothing formed against us can prosper against us in Jesus, Prepare a table for us in the presence of our enemies and Prosper us with everything that we need to be Triumphant in You and Oh so very much more! All for Your Glory Lord Jesus! All in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus! Glory to You Lord Jesus!!!

Jesus is not stopping this desease because He is coming soon and this is a clear sign that our dear Lord is at the door and He will take you and me and those who love Him with all their heart, mind and soul. Up we shall go, in rapture divine to be with Him in glory. What a wonderful experience that will be. So, do not worry, do not fret, do not complain. Everything that is going on in the world was predicted by our dear heavenly Father and we must be vigilant and obedient to His word. Pray without ceasing. Love one another. Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no one shall see the Lord.

That is a practical explanation of the signs Jesus is giving us before His arrival to earth. Fear not, come to Jesus, love Him, praise Him, adore His holy name wherever you are. He delights in the praises of His people.

I don't think any Christian should accept evil. I feel we should pray against evil.
