THE WAY OUT OF DARKNESS

The medical explanation and name for CORONAVIRUS is COVID-19 but it has a spiritual name- *IT IS A PLAGUE, IT IS A PESTILENCE, IT IS DARKNESS and it’s a fulfillment of prophecies. 

Peter’s expertise failed him at one time when he went fishing, he had toiled all night but caught nothing. He had to let go of what he thought he knew for a higher revelation/truth. when Jesus told him to let down his net. He did at the word of Jesus and experienced a turnaround.

There are lessons that must be learned during this CORONA VIRUS pandemic. If we don’t learn our lessons now, a worse than CORONAVIRUS will come after it.

CORONAVIRUS is a manifestation of the darkness.

Isaiah 60:1-3- the scope of the manifestation of the darkness is the entire earth. Darkness manifest in different dimensions. When the darkness is manifesting, it thrives on one’s ignorance and as long as your definition and interpretation of it is not correct, you are at a disadvantaged position. David stood in an advantaged position when he correctly redefined Goliath as an uncircumcised Philistine.

Events such as Ebola, terrorism, COVID-19 are manifestations of a root cause. When we take it from the root and understand what it really is, then we can bring it to an end. As long as we keep tying it to events, we will miss it. COVID-19 is part of the darkness we read about in the bible. The darkness usually has a physical appearance and manifestations upon the earth and the people.

A few things to note- The only answer to the darkness is light
In the beginning when the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, God called forth light. ( Genesis 1:1-3). Because the darkness is spiritual, the answer must be spiritual.
Isaiah 60:2. Gentiles should come to the brightness of our rising. we should lay emphasis on the saving power of God. The only thing that can bring people out of the darkness is light. The error in the church is much. Very few have an accurate picture of the mind of God in these times.

- This darkness is inferior to light, no matter the shape it takes. John 1:5. The darkness only remains when light is absent. The only reason you may be afraid of the darkness is that you do not have a revelation concerning light.

- This light will only find expression on earth through the church. Believers in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:18-20). God will not come and shine the light by Himself. All of creation is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

- The answer to this is not in the medical field or scientific world. We must not put our hope in man-made structures. It would appear as if we have become ignorant of the fact that life does not end here. We must come to the point whereby we know God is all in all.

- This light is Jesus.
God's desire concerning humanity is that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. If all we are doing does not ultimately translate to this, it is an exercise in futility, it is vanity, it has no count in eternity. No matter the state you meet anyone, your greatest concern, should be their salvation and spiritual state. We were left here to express Jesus. John 1:1- 4,14.1st John 1:5, John 8: 12.
- The light that the gentiles will come to, has to be conceived and given birth to. There is no conception by mistake. Romans 8: 18-28
There's a dimension of partnership and prayers we must come into-groanings and intercession by the help of the Holy Ghost. For us to have the same end result like Jesus, we must do what He did to arrive at the same result.

We must groan in intercession if we want to see Jesus and partner with Him. Groaning is the kind of prayer the Holy Ghost helps us make because of the burden we carry which we cannot birth on our own except by the help of the Spirit. Phil. 1:19. Romans 8: 26- 27.
If God can find men and women who will yield themselves to the Holy Spirit, it will turn to the salvation of souls thru the supply of the Spirit.

Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father, but He is not idle. He is interceding. Psalm 110:1-3, Hebrews 7:25.

The church is His body. Until the head and the body are in complete harmony, the job cannot be done. The real issue right now is for us to align with the head of the church, JESUS, then there will be an outburst of light and glory.

In Exodus 2:23, the children of Israel sighed due to the bondage and they cried - (agonizing prayers ) which reached out to God and He remembered His covenant. (Remember, Israel is a type of the church) Until He heard their groaning, He did not see nor respond to their afflictions. Right now, there is a sighing going on.

- Acts 7:34.When God heard their groaning -agonizing prayer, He sent a messiah - Moses a type of Christ. But the deliverance was not instant. He sent plagues against the Egyptians which eventually led to Israel's deliverance and entrance into the promised land.

Conversely, there is glory ahead of us and the end of it will be salvation, glory etc. But we need to labour in the Spirit to birth it. It will come when we give ourselves to groaning in the spirit. We must not be ignorant. Our focus now should not be self-preservation. You are lighted up to be a light, blessed to be a blessing.

Ezekiel 9:1-9, those that were spared bore the burden with the Lord. We will give an account for our day.

- God is calling us to participate.
-You cannot participate if there's no burden.
- You cannot have a burden when there's no concern and you are not in the know of what's happening.
-Your concern and burden is expressed in the place of intercession. A burden will lead you to travail.

The Holy Ghost is looking for men He can impregnate to bear the burden with Him. Don’t be unconcerned, do not be isolated and indifferent. You have been preserved to yield to the Holy Ghost so He can use you. You must be constantly engaged in the warfare.
