We wake up every day to the breaking news that the Coronavirus disease is escalating in the United States and around the world. More than 304,035 people are known to be infected and over 12,978 deaths have been recorded worldwide. The good news is that, out of all these people known to be affected worldwide, over 94,674 people have recovered. That being the case, about 80 percent of people recover from COVID-19 without needing hospitalization or special treatment.[1]
Whilst modern medical science is quickly searching for the cure during this rapidly growing pandemic, it is important to remember who is the true source of healing, Jesus Christ the Great Physician. Undoubtedly, sickness, suffering, and death are the work of an antagonistic power, Satan. The devil is the destroyer; God is the restorer. Remember that God is working day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment, to keep us all alive, to build up and restore us.
If you have been infected by this deadly virus or searching for ways to prevent this disease, we will share with you twelve powerful Bible healing promises that will help you go through this serious time.
A world-renowned author Ellen G. White wrote in her book, The Ministry of Healing, “So with all the promises of God’s word. In them He is speaking to us individually, speaking as directly as if we could listen to His voice. It is in these promises that Christ communicates to us His grace and power. They are leaves from that tree which is “for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:2. Received, assimilated, they are to be the strength of the character, the inspiration and sustenance of the life. Nothing else can have such healing power. Nothing besides can impart the courage and faith which give vital energy to the whole being.” [2]
To the one who is standing trembling with fear on the brink of the grave as a result of this virus, know that the greatest physician who ever walked this earth, Jesus Christ has never lost a case, and is aways available to heal. “The same power that Christ exercised when He walked visibly among men is in His word. It was by His word that Jesus healed disease and cast out demons; by His word He stilled the sea and raised the dead, and the people bore witness that His word was with power. He spoke the word of God, as He had spoken to all the prophets and teachers of the Old Testament. The whole Bible is a manifestation of Christ.” The Ministry of Healing [3]

There is a remedy for true healing in this world and there is a physician that is present to help us through these difficult times, His name is Jesus!
