Covid-19 & The Armor of God

 Our home-based church group is studying the armor of God and discovering the simple and relevant application of Ephesians 6 in this present distress when human solutions and interventions are limited.

The good news is that with God all things are possible and our Creator spoke of many things in his Word, including pandemics:


10: Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might Put on the whole armor of God that you may be powerful to stand against the methods and trickery [methodeia] of diabolos For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities [ἀρχάς archas] against powers [ἐξουσίας exousia] against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth [1]






[1] Belt on the Truth. 

The Truth is whatever God has to say about any given situation.

Sickness? Epidemic? Pandemic? …Psalm 91:1-7: “…He shall cover thee with his feathers and under his wings shalt thou trust HIS TRUTH shall be thy shield and buckler 5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night nor for the arrow that flieth by day 6: Nor for the pestilence that walks in darkness nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday 7: A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand but it shall not come nigh thee….(protection!)” 

Psalm 91:9-10 No plague shall come near thy dwelling….

Who will believe the report of the Lord?

Is there any sick among you? Let them call for the elders of the church...James 5:
