Weekly Watch Focus: Stop the Pandemic

FRIDAY, March 6, 2020—This week the World Health Organization categorized the coronavirus as a pandemic. The United States is taking measures to mitigate the spread of this virus and asking citizens to follow protocols to lower risk of spread in their communities. The coronavirus thus far has created major disruptions affecting thousands of people around the world. President Trump addressed the nation on Wednesday giving instructions on how to mitigate the spread of the virus.

Stand in the gap for your nation and all other affected nations around the world. Call on our High Priest, Jesus, to stand between the living and the dead and stop this plague (Numbers 16:48). Bind the power of infection and fear carried by this virus. Loose wisdom from heaven for those who are seeking vaccines and cures for this disease. Put a hedge of protection over your children, over your home, and all your loved ones. Especially pray for the elderly that are in your family or church because they seem to be more vulnerable from this virus. Pray over your city and nation, declaring “God is our shield. He is sending help from Zion to stay the spread of this plague.” Bind the voice of fear and manipulation emanating from ungodly media voices. Loose God’s peace over the nations.

At this time we also lift up the Lord’s banner of victory over our economy that those who wish harm to our nation and its economy would be defeated. Pray for jobs and manufacturing to abound in our nation and for restoration of our independence from other nations for critical supply chains. Rebuke the devourer and declare Joel chapter 2 blessing over America and our economy. Pray for God’s mercy to abound to those affected by this virus around the world. Plead the blood of Jesus. Thank the Lord in advance for His turnaround in the battle against the coronavirus.

Numbers 16: 46-48, “So Moses said to Aaron, ‘Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense on it, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the Lord. The plague has begun.’ Then Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and already the plague had begun among the people. So he put in the incense and made atonement for the people. And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague was stopped.:
