Pulling back the curtain on humanity exposes a chronic disease that has plagued many for centuries, sin.  The Lord had me do this piece when the Corona Virus was beginning. Doctors were racing for a vaccine and rightly so because it had spread worldwide, and many had gotten sick and died.  But this deadly physical virus represented a spiritual problem, that has only gotten worse.  The Great Physician, Jesus the Messiah is the only one who can truly heal this spiritual affliction.   

I had a vision of three people with their hands lifted to the Lord.  Inside reads the words “repentance”, “surrender” and “worship”.  There is a heartbeat running through them.  As the body of believers this should be the outcry as seen in the verse from 2 Chron.7:14 .  The tears coming down from the world map is a cry for healing, help, and restoration.  The dotted lines represent the spread of the virus and the spread of much needed prayer. 

People needed to quarantine in the bible too. The priests in the book of Leviticus inspected the person who had a potential skin disease.  If it was considered contagious, the person needed to quarantine and leave the camp. (Lev.14:36). Although the priests themselves did the inspection and were close they did not become infected.   The purpose of this piece is repentance and an invitation to a restored relationship with the Lord.   

Jesus entered the “leper colony” of humanity to heal and restore those who cry out to Him for help.  He draws near and touches when others will not or cannot.  He desires us to be clean and whole.  No one is beyond recovery even those outside the camp because He is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Heb.13:8) 

Five things to remember: 

1. Let the LORD examine you

2. Not all new beginnings start off well.

3. The focus is not what is being done to you but what is being done for you.

4. Pain is an indicator that something is wrong.

5. We should follow the Lord’s example by purposely seeking out the “lepers” around us.
