COVID-19: Why Are Patients Not Allowed To Be Prayed For? by petra1(m): 8:27pm On May 12, 2020 |
I said earlier that it's not true that Christian's are afraid of praying for covid cases . But the issue is access I also went to a covid -19 hospital to pray for the "sick " but from the gate the security asked for my mission I told them, they made calls and said it's not allowed. I almost left but I went back to ask for opportunity again . They called another official who asked if I'm going to lay hands on them , I said yes if I'm allowed. He said I can't be allowed in . I asked what if i go in and just stretch my hand to pray for each one without touching. They made calls again And said it's not allowed. They said I should pray at the gate . I could not argue much because it's a military environment Finally I told them I came with packs of bottled water and asked to give them as contribution, they declined at first but later asked me to open the boot , I did they too pictures and asked if it's a prayer water I said "NO " but I can pray over it in the packs of water in their presence. That was what I eventually did . As I said before . It's not about the church going to pray but it's about permission by government. If you know a convid centre that will allow prayer for the sick I will still appreciate. 8 Likes |

petra1: Times and situations as the current global crisis are opportunities for us to practice what we preach and here is a very valid example. While the government and the medical team are doing their bits it spells no harm that a Christian or anyone in question can and should do their bit and here a brave and courageous Christian emphatically, based on the teachings of his faith and believe in Jesus Christ decided to identify with the plight of these supposed victims of the virus offering prayers and essential supplies. I think such efforts should be applauded because give or take it's a laudable gesture of love, concern and support. 5 Likes |

ademasta: Many have been doing that not everyone is just sitting back taking this whole lockdown as an holiday for self-gratification purposes. It's not enough to standby assuming a passive disposition waiting for someone to do something rather everyone should sort out what their own contributions should be in restoring joy, peace and hope to those who may have lost it. So for a Christian by virtue of his or her beliefs/faith it may be first prayer. If that is the case then there shouldn't be any restrictions whatsoever afterall it's assumed we all want the same thing. 3 Likes |

I think there's something they do not want the public to know. Else they won't prevent prayers from being administered to the sick, same way ''they are free'' to isolate them and administer drugs. There is a game playing on the matter. |

Good one sir! To heal the sick is a command given by the Master himself. In as much as I don't expect much from the government, one thing I know for sure is that the Word of God reigns supreme over this plague that's ravaging the world. I call on christian brothers and sisters around the world to take this example. Well done @Petra1 |

If word were to reach the patients themselves about this, I have a strong feeling that they'd have wanted something like this. |

The truth is they will never allow you in for obvious reasons 1. The people in there are very healthy people, who have been paid to pretend 2. Maybe there was no body inside 3. If you go in, you might have some information that will obviously expose there lies and wickedness. What a world we live in, Man is himself capable of destroying his fellow man jus to be in control |

You can pray for people without laying hands on them, and God will still heal them. You can pray for anybody anywhere by mentioning their names. If you don't know the names, refer to them somehow. Maybe based on their location or situation. God knows the person you're referring to and He answers prayers. Personally, I have had the grace of praying for people I don't know, and who don't know me. They didn't even know that I prayed for them. And God does wonders. Let's pray anywhere. Physical touch is not compulsory for to the healing to be ministered. If they allow everybody access to go and pray for them, many people will abuse it. Just imagine how mess that can be. |

Ephesians 6v12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers in the highest rhelm. Covid19 is not a spiritual thing but rather a physical that was created by man itself so it needs something physical to conquer it. Any man of God who prays for a covid19 patient is nothing but a fake man of God. |

xyzindustreet: And the Centurion's maid, who Jesus did not even see physically. And neither did he know her name. He just referred to ' her'. And she was healed. Remember that too. |

butterfly777: Well there are religious prayers and ministering to people. When you minister to people you need to connect with them and they need to connect with you . We can do intercession as well from other location .but different cases require different ministration. Primarily to lay hands on the sick secondarily to stretch hand and a last option is to bless other objects like handkerchiefs, water etc . But the results may differ . Mark 16:18 . . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover |

ademasta: Jesus reached out and touched lepers that were considered "unclean" by the Jews, the woman with the issue of blood who's not supposed to be seen outside her home summoned courage to touch the Master (That Jesus wasn't angry about her action show's that her healing is well deserved.). That faith has a voice, love has a touch were the blessed words of a beloved preacher. Christians are God's out-stretched arm to an ailing world that's why we show compassion to minister to the sick. We MUST reach out. It's not enough to pray at home, hoping that everything will be alright. 1 Like |
