LET’S LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM A PREVIOUS PANDEMIC.
In 1910 in the midst of a worldwide pandemic known as the bubonic plague, the government was offering large sums of money for anyone who could help. So many were dying and there were not enough people to remove the bodies of the dead. Of the few that were well enough, most were too fearful to enter people’s homes.
John G Lake and the plague
John G Lake found himself in this highly contagious region and he offered to help, but asked for no payment. He would go into houses where the stench of sickness hung in the air, and carried out the bodies, often having to bury them in mass graves, there were so many. But he had no fear of catching the disease.
A doctor sent for Lake and asked, “What have you been doing to protect yourself? Lake replied, “I believe that as long as I keep my soul in contact with the living God so that His Spirit is flowing into my soul and body, that no germ will ever attach itself to me, for the Spirit of God will kill it”.
Amazingly, Lake asked the doctor to experiment by taking the foam from the lungs of a dead plague victim and putting it under a microscope. The doctor did that and found masses of living germs. At Lake’s insistence, the doctor spread the deadly foam on Lake’s hand and observing the results under the microscope, he was astonished to discover that all the germs died instantly. Lake told him, “That is the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus… When a man’s spirit and body are filled with the presence of God, it oozes out of the flesh and the pores and it kills the germs.”
Coronavirus and the power of God
One hundred years later and we find ourselves in a similar situation. Has God changed? Is His power any less today than Lake experienced? Now I’m not suggesting that we all go around putting deadly germs on our hands like in Lake’s experiment, but let’s really begin to believe the Word of God and live it out by faith, and let’s not forget that God is the God of the impossible. Do not come into agreement with the Spirit of fear but with the Spirit of Life as you co-exist with Christ Jesus.
“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” Romans 8:11
It’s time for us to see that lived out each day. And if you’d like help to really start living this way, please join us here on our portal where we are learning and growing together into the fulness of this wonderful LIFE through Jesus Christ!

Praise Report Concerning Robert the Cowboy:
Robert attends the Meetings in DeQiuncy, and Penny told us that Robert was in the hospital with Covid, so we prayed in agreement for Cowboy’s healing.
This afternoon we received this praise report from Penny Blackburn:
“A good report! Robert, the cowboy, was released from the hospital Tuesday. His son said that Robert was white when they took him in and that he took a strong turn for the better.
Robert said they called it Covid and they called it pneumonia and he didn’t know what it was, but he just felt a whole lot better and they sent him home.
A very good report – especially being 85!”
The name of Jesus is greater and more powerful than Covid.
I think a lot of us forget to ask when in need and then we forget to listen
Lake was a sign of the consecrated bride; leaning on Christ alone… Song of Songs 8v5
Our GOD is able to do more than we could ever even imagine. Lake was a Spirit filled believer!
Um, it was the plague, the bubonic plague that literally died in Lake’s hand.
The truth is the truth! Let’s keep it that way!
There has never been a”worldwide pandemic of Bubonic plague”.
There has never been an outbreak of bubonic plague in Africa.
“Black Water Fever” was the term used for malaria.
Lake did stop the malaria plague in South Africa in 1910.
The germs did die in his hand when he held it.
But it was not bubonic plague.
The confusion came from the term “Black Water Fever” being confused with the term, “Black Plague”.
Where are the people of faith now
There is one here Angela, I have never taken the vaccine, and at the start of this Covid situation the Spirit of Fear tried to get a foothold on my household- I could literally feel the sensation of fear around me, but knew in my heart I had nothing to fear. I spoke to the Spirit and rebuked it and commanded it to leave our household. Tge next day I knew something was different, the Spirit of Fear had departed and only the Peace of The Lord remained. The Lord specifically told me to tune out a lot of the news through the TV and to get outside into the fresh air. His Promises found in Psalm 91 were what I lived off and put my faith in. When the scripture said NO plague would come near my dwelling place I BELIEVED IT!! Not even a case of recovering from this virus, but NOT getting it at all!! One other scripture the Lord shared with me was the interesting reply He gave the centurion- when the centurion said that Jesus could speak but one word from where they were, and that the servant would be healed it was a act of true faith. But Jesus’s words made me think. He said let it be done as the centurion had spoken. Now I’m declaring Psalm 91 that NO plague would afflict my household, and tbh I expect what I have spoken, because they are not some random words, but the promises of Almighty God 🙏
They’re out there, some have just lost their mustard seed or misplaced it. But there are many men and women of God with faith as this.
