The Redeemed

'Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, a descendant of Elam, said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God, for we have married these pagan women of the land. But in spite of this there is hope for Israel.' Ezra 10:2 (NLT)

Dear Father,
We have found ourselves in a sad way; the times are troubling but not desperate; the disease is threatening but not incurable. But in spite of all of this gloom and drama and despair that the world has to offer, there is hope for tomorrow; our demise may be prevented by repentance and reformation. 

There is hope for us for tomorrow because we are Your sons and daughters; every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation, we are the descendants of the great Elohim. Hallelujah! The guilty have been restored, because of Your son Jesus the spreading of the virus of sin has been stopped. We are the redeemed! By Your blood, Your judgment upon us has been prevented. By Your stripes, we have been made clean and are healed. Through You, sin and death have been defeated!

The diagnosis was inaccurate. Therefore, we shall not sit down in sorrow and defeat for even a second for there is hope. Yes! We shall arise. We shall be moved to take action; to amend our ways, to call out Your name, and speak this prayer out loud. For You are the Great Healer. You have told us that all we have to do is to ask and to believe. We are asking. We are believing. Your Word is Truth. We trust in You. 

There is hope when we pray and call upon Your great name. Thank you for Your mercy Lord. Thank you for Your forgiveness. We are nothing without You. We offer You our praise of thanksgiving. We love You. Even now, a great harvest of souls, as every cancer cell and coronavirus has to leave in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
