Initiator of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua, tendered ‘virtual prayers’ of healing for those stricken with COVID-19 in an Isolation Centre in Honduras, Central America.
The gesture was in fulfilment of a promise the cleric made on July 8, 2020.
A video posted to Emmanuel TV’s YouTube Channel displayed the famous cleric praying for bedbound patients fastened up to oxygen tanks and bounded by hospital staff heavily laden with protective gear.
“Where can we go from God’s presence? Distance is not a barrier because He is Spirit,” Joshua declared in front of several huge screens relaying in real-time the footage from the several wards within the Honduran Isolation Centre.
“By the power of the Holy Spirit – that affliction, that COVID-19 – be flushed out,” he said, stretching his hands towards the dozens of patients on the multiple screens at the Emmanuel TV Studios in Lagos, during a programme tagged ‘Interactive Prayer Session’.
During the prayer – interpreted at the same time into Spanish – numerous patients started to involuntarily ‘vomit’ at the same time as others rose to their feet from their hospital beds, waved their hands happily and removed the oxygen apparatus fixed to their nose as a sign of “supernatural healing”.
“Jesus that has freed you will help you to maintain your miracle. Make the Word of God the standard for your life,” Joshua counselled after declaring dozens of COVID-19 patients “free”
“I sensed the healing and delivering power of God,” explained Aracely, one of the Honduran patients, after the prayer. “I felt my lungs fill up with air… I’m no longer using the oxygen mask,” she testified.
“I couldn’t go to the toilet before but immediately after the prayer, I felt like rushing to the toilet,” another patient immediately acknowledged. “I passed out a lot of foul substance – that was the power of the prayer.”
“I saw a white light that illuminated me and asked me to remove my oxygen mask,” another lady stated. “I’m not choking any longer,” she excitedly stated, with others testifying their sense of smell and taste was restored and their strength revitalized following the prayer.
Later, representatives of the medical staff at the hospital express thanks Joshua for his prayers and support.
The video concluded by emphasizing that it was not planned to “discourage anyone from seeking medical treatment” as “good Christians are good citizens”.
“If you don’t believe in God with medicine, you cannot believe in God without medicine,” Joshua said.
