Amid Coronavirus Pandemic, a Miraculous Sign of Hope in Brazil

By Julio Severo

While a war rages in Brazil that politicizes the coronavirus pandemic or COVID-19, with two sides polarizing the problem, there is a group that focuses on the spiritual solution. It is evangelicals who in crises seek God in prayer and fasting.

Translation: Holy Call from Our President Jair Bolsonaro for a National Fast. April 5 Next Sunday. “To all evangelical leaders of our Brazil and their ministries, we call on everyone to this national fast for our nation.”

Many evangelicals are praying and fasting for their families, churches and Brazil. And pastors had long been calling on the people and even asking Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to proclaim a national fast. Although he is a syncretic Catholic open to all kinds of spirituality, Christian and otherwise, Bolsonaro complied with the request, and issued a proclamation, in a video recorded with several evangelical pastors, especially calling on evangelical leaders for a national fast.

The date of the national fast was Sunday, April 5, 2020. Evangelicals from all over Brazil prayed and fasted. And an extraordinary miracle happened. Official data from Brazil’s Ministry of Health, in its Daily Epidemiological Report on Coronavirus published on April 10, 2020, show deaths from coronavirus decreasing shortly after April 5.

What does the report say about coronavirus deaths until April 5? That these deaths were going up. For example, on April 3, there were 58 deaths. On April 4, 65 deaths. On April 5, 69 deaths.

Yet, the rise not only stopped after that. It reversed itself. On April 6, there were 64 deaths. On April 7, 50 deaths. On April 8, 45 deaths. On April 9, 22 deaths.

While many could attribute this drastic change to coincidences, evangelicals who were called to prayer and fasting know very well that the author of these coincidences is God, who responded mercifully.

Yet, on April 14 the death toll spiked to 200. Did the miracle fail? No. The miracle was a sign that evangelicals need to continue praying and fasting.

The miracle was a sign that God gave that He has the answer to the pandemic. And He can not only heal Brazil of this plague, but also heal its economy that is seriously ill.

He can also heal Brazil of its spiritual illnesses, including witchcraft, idolatry and syncretism that harm a large part of the Brazilian population, bringing ignorance and misery. A nation can only grow and prosper when it follows what the Bible says.

Mercifully, God gave a miracle to Brazil and its president, showing that the solution is not in witchcraft, the occult, idolatry and syncretism. It is in Jesus Christ.

The path of hope that God has opened to solve the coronavirus pandemic and other problems that plague Brazil is to seek Him in prayer and fasting, and other miracles will come.
