The whole world is affected by the pandemic. Nobody wants this horrible disease taking over their lives. That is probably the one thing the whole world agrees on at present. Every country has its own particular battle as the virus gains ground or is pushed back. Every day the news is the same, how many more cases, how many more deaths, how many more serious infections.

We are all going crazy with dismay because of this virus. Why has it come to earth? Of course we can investigate all the sciences and discover its progeny or other particulars, but why has this come to visit us here? We cannot see it, we cannot feel it, we do not know where it is until it strikes!  From the beginning until now, the whole population is changing rapidly and everyone is worried to some extent.

What does God say about this virus? In Job 33, we read about a special visitor to Job when he was very ill and ready to expire. The name of the visitor or messenger is Elihu. This means (God Himself), which is extremely interesting and important.  As I was reading this chapter, I wondered if this was an angel or even Jesus Christ before his incarnation. Now I find that his name is compatible with that inspirational thought. Despite the fact that a Clan is associated with this messenger or visitor, it is possible God sent this man/angel to Job, with a familiar name and clan connection.

Why do I say this? Because of verses 23 - 30 (Job 33)  (New Living Translation, Tyndale House, Illinois, USA.)

"But if an angel from heaven appears - a special messenger to intercede for a person and declare he is upright - he will be gracious and say,

"Rescue him from the grave for I have found a ransome for his life."

Then his body will become as healthy as a child's, firm and youthful again. When he prays to God he will be accepted. And God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing.

He will declare to his friends, "I sinned and twisted the truth, but it was not worth it. God rescued me from the grave and now my life is filled with light.

"Yes, God does these things again and again for people. He rescues them from the grave so they may enjoy the light of life."

If you are feeling depressed, sad or lonely, or in despair, or even have the virus, think about these verses from God Himself (Eli hu) and remember that God has fulfilled this at Calvary by sending Jesus Christ to die for every sin you might have committed, or sins you will commit in the future. God has a good side and during this pandemic He is waiting for people to return to Him in faith, believing that only He can restore you into full health again.

What to do? Do everything right like Job, wash hands, distance, get tested, wear mask etc. Then, ask God to "Send a messenger" like Elihu (God Himself) to heal you.

We know that the Holy Spirit is within every believer, but this is another side of God, a visit from God Himself, to experience a full and immediate healing just like Job.

In Job's case,  after this visit from Eli hu, he is recorded as having another family and all his wealth restored. We know how his wealth is restored but we never hear how his health came back to his blackened bones that burned with fever.  Now, I know it was the messenger who brought healing to the sick man. Job lived for 140 years after that.

Call on God now in the name of His Messenger, His Son, Jesus Christ, and receive complete healing today. Remember to tell your friends and to praise God.
