Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water…
KABOOM!
The Delta variant has now emerged as the new pernicious, predominant strain of the Covid virus. It is more contagious; causes more infections; leads to increased transmissions (in vaccinated individuals) and causes more severe illness.
People are tense in these apocalyptic times. What are we supposed to do about vaccinations, booster shots, mask mandates, children in schools, compulsory compliance, passports, and on and on and on?
Christians need to rely upon our Good Shepherd. Watch: “Stressful Times and the Most Popular Passage in Scripture,” remain fortified in faith and health, maintain hygiene, rebuff fear, research trustworthy medical information, and resist demonic attacks.
Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him firmly in the faith… (1Pet. 5:8)
In days of high anxiety, don’t dismiss the component of demonic attacks. May we not cavalierly declare “God’s Sovereign; I’ll just suffer for His glory, never complain, develop character, and trust Him in whatever comes my way. If it’s sickness or premature death, I’ll just give thanks” (and passively lie down on the inside). Jesus inquired of a longtime afflicted man, Do you want to be healed? (Jn.5.6)
Wait! Passivity, predestination, and poor theology can derail you from deliverance which is often for the desperate. The Bible teaches there are times when our physical bodies come under demonic attack, and we need to be alert and aggressive in not succumbing. During His earthly ministry Jesus was never passive!
“Satan Is My Daddy”
Doing my daily prayer walk and evangelizing at our mall a young woman strolled by with the above words emblazoned across her T-shirt. Did she realize what she was heralding?
We must take Satan seriously. When the apostle Paul was converted Jesus told him audibly to turn people from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God… (Acts 26:18) Subsequently he wrote: Satan hindered us, (1 Thess. 2:18) and that a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me…! (2 Cor.12:7)
Since Jesus Himself labeled Satan a ‘murderer from the beginning,‘ (Jn. 8:44) might our archenemy have some involvement in spawning this insidious pandemic even as he promotes the massive slaughter of babies through abortion?
We know the devil is defeated but through deception he is ruthless in destroying lives. This includes attacks on our physical bodies.
Satanic Schemes
When Covid was starting, Charisma founder Steve Strang warned from Eph. 6:10-14:
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to resist in the evil day and having done all, to stand. Stand…
Notice all the action verbs! May we not dismiss Satan’s role in the toxic current confusion and catastrophic events of our day.
“New Levels – New Devils”
When Paul began breaking spiritual ground in Ephesus (Acts 19:11-16), seven men were driven away by demons who said they knew Jesus and Paul, but these other guys were charlatans. Ask the question, “Am I known in hell because of the threat I pose to demons?”
This past year has been a significant time of battle for me with a mild bout of Covid and another episode with my eyesight (I lost sight in the left one years ago.) This coincides with my 50th year in ministry with new opportunities alongside a prophetic clarity in communication I haven’t previously experienced. I assure you I didn’t take this lying down!
For those thinking, “God is in control… Don’t give credit to the devil,” consider the caution of C.S. Lewis. He said that some dismiss the devil to their peril while others are preoccupied with him. Avoid both errors and extremes.
Mr. Lewis called us to biblical balance. “God is sovereign over Satan. The devil has no free hand in the world. He is on a leash and can do only what God permits.” Remember the accounts in the Bible of Job’s and Peter’s testing where permission had to be secured first in the Supreme Court of heaven before the attack?
Elements of Mystery and Sensitivity
There’s an element of mystery to God’s provision for healing and health. There are many reasons people experience sickness and disease, including violating biblical principles: For this reason many are weak and unhealthy amongst you, and many die. (I Cor. 11:30) Disobedience and carelessness bring consequences, although God is oftentimes merciful in redeeming our situation once we repent.
At the same time the Bible cautions us to display sensitivity to the Holy Spirit…lest Satan should take advantage of us. For we are not ignorant of his devices. (2 Cor. 2:11) While it is true that healing and health is God’s normative will for His obedient and believing children, people can suffer with a “spirit of infirmity” like the woman Jesus healed of whom He said, ‘Satan has bound her these 18 years.’ (Lk.13:10-16)
The whole Trinity is involved in combating the “thief” who Jesus said comes to steal and kill and destroy. (Jn.10:10) God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38) Christians can fail to engage in warfare and become what John Paul Jackson called “needless casualties of war.”
We Christians must stay on the offensive, resisting demonic attacks against our defeated foe! And having disarmed authorities and powers, He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them by the cross. (Col.2:15)
Our challenge is to resist him as we fight the good fight of faith. (1 Tim. 6:12)
The very passage directing us to be watchful and resistant to the devil’s devices then states, But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will restore, support, strengthen and establish you. (1 Pet. 5:10)
Scripture exhorts us not to be “lazy” but through faith and patience inherit the promises. (Heb. 6:12) Let’s follow God’s instructions to emerge victorious:
Is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.
Here’s the deal: With the Delta variant frightening the masses, watch the 10 min video on Ps. 23 (cited earlier), then read the following faith-building info on natural immunity.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, even as your soul is well. (3 Jn. 2)

I hear about this variant and personally still don’t know a single person with a confirmed case of Covid. God warns of wars and rumors of war for a reason. Thank you Father for your protection. Thank you for exposing truth and protecting whistleblowers that have come forward. If this is a man-made weapon we pray that You expose its origins and shut it down Lord
Thank you that you have raised up I wrapped it body of intercessors and given us authority through Jesus Christ to travel on snakes and scorpions scorpions. Thank you that your word says whatever we find on Earth will be bound in heaven so we find this covid and all of its variants in Jesus Name!
Dear Father,
Help us to “open their eyes and turn them from darkness to lght, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by You!
In Jesus’ Name,
send Your power to Your people, and Your salvation to the lost, and revival to Your weak ones, and Your understanding to the confused. May Your Truth reign in the world, as You reveal Your ways and Your Word to the world! In Jesus’ Name!
There definitely is a demonic element to this whole thing, and has been for years.Starting low to get people use to it, then title-by-little building up to this date with more planned. All the oligarchs, big businesses, judges and many in the Christian communities are agreeing with the agenda – whether they know what the agenda is or not. Do they know the plan is to depopulate the world down to 500 million people? Do they know where the 500 million number comes from: The Stones in Georgia. It’s the reverse of the 10 commandments. Do they know Anthony Fauci is a fraud, has never created a vaccine that has worked, has destroyed the careers of many young doctors who know he is a fraud? Has told lie after lie to Trump continuously? Does anyone know there is a monument built to Baal that stands on Manhattan Island in New York, and on and on.Big media is the worse as far as misinformation, yet people continue to use Facebook. religiously. That seem to be the new god. Twitter, Google, Instagram – – all run by communists. Is there a demonic element to this whole thing? Oh yes, and without spiritual warfare, repentance and God’s grace. It will get worse and worse until Jesus holds up his Hand, His mothers crushes the head of the serpent and the earth melts away. (yes, Margaret, Jesus does have a mother, and has given her awesome anointings – Wow!)
There are allegedly 30 more mutant COVID strains in the CCP bioweapon arsenal… each more deadly that the prior ones. Believe me when I say that the LORD of Glory has had enough! HE will Intervene in a miraculous way as He exposes ALL the evil that has been perpetrated against America AND the world of nations for literally hundreds of years- since the birth of the Illuminati in 1776! This may be difficult for people reading this to process, since many are saying that we are in the Tribulation Period, and will soon see the antichrist kingdom manifest in reality. NO! NOT SO!!
Is there a Temple in Jerusalem that the son of perdition will desecrate? Nope, not yet. Is there a One World totalitarian system in place today? No again, although the NWO Globalists [see weforum.org] are seeking to lay its foundation prematurely. AND since the true church is still here and has not been caught away, the Ezekiel 38 &39 WWIII which precedes the antichrist kingdom fully controlling the world also cannot happen yet. Besides that I am of the opinion that the ‘Psalm 83 War’ happens long before the genuine Rapture of the Body of Christ, and would be the precursor for the WWIII mentioned above.

The Greatest Awakening in the History of Mankind is on the near horizon! Rejoice in the LORD, and again I say REJOICE!
Never, in my lifetime, have I seen anything like the FEAR and CONFUSION, and DECEPTION, that is rampant, even in believers, across this country!! Covid is being used, by Satan, and his minions, to destroy and divide families, to lie, over and over about the “shot,” to bring confusion to everyone, to harm our children and grandchildren! Harming our children and grandchildren, on purpose, is what troubles me and angers me the most! There is a special kind of TWISTED, EVIL, that would cause anyone harm to children! We have doctors (and one, in particular) that LOVES to be on television, and changes his mind, hourly) and we should never believe a word he says!! That should speak volumes, to parents, about what is true and what is not true, regarding Covid!
“God has NOT given us a spirit of fear (or confusion) but power, love and a SOUND MIND!” Clearly the scripture tells us if you harm one of these little ones, it would be better for you if you had a millstone tied around your neck and be thrown into the sea and drowned! That’s our Lord, speaking!! He also told us, “watch out that no one deceives you.” Lots of deception going on now about a lot of things! Yes, even in the church!
Daystar ministry has had many doctors, PHD’s, lawyers, etc. on, who have outstanding degrees, written many papers and have successfully treated thousands of Covid patients. The information is there for all to see the truth! However, when anything goes political, and this sure has, you lose the truth, really fast! Do your own homework on this! “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free!”
Remember, as the body of Christ, we are to come against this fear, DAILY, and rebuke it, bind it, in Jesus powerful name, and loose a spirit of peace, calm, wholeness, over our families and our country!
It is being used for demonic or evil purposes. In itself, it is merely an engineered bit of viral RNA, essentially a bioweapon. It is actually not that dangerous, except when basic primary care is neglected, and people with initial symptoms are told to go home until they are sick enough to need hospitalization. According to informed medical opinion, the vast majority of deaths were unnecessary, if time-tested medicines had been used appropriately. The latest variant is apparently more contagious, but actually less lethal, as is the usual case with mutated forms. The hype is simply to keep people afraid and in bondage. We must all simply refuse to accept the lies about how dangerous this faux pandemic is.
There is definitely a demonic element to the Delta variant. The demonic has been obvious throughout the COVID experience. Nothing here is new or surprising. In the name of Jesus, we take authority over satan and his wicked schemes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus came that we may have life, and have it more abundantly.This is where our hope for today is.Satan will try his hardest to attack our faith, but there is no reason for faith-filled Christians to succumb to his counterfit schemes. We need to live life one day at a time, and to trust the Lord. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Not just delta. The original strain as well. All sickness is demonic.
This is a website that has some really good current events articles and cites studies/factual data along with biblical application. This one talks about the delta variant if anyone is interested
