The Three Spirits of Infirmity in Flu and Covid 19
by Les D. Crause
My Personal Experience
As a child I suffered most childhood sicknesses; if there was something going around like measles, mumps, etc I caught it. I still have childhood memories both of waiting in a doctor’s waiting room and also house visits by our family doctor, which was still in vogue during that era.
But the one thing that I suffered from the most was regular colds and flu. I seldom had just a cold, but it always turned into flu, and eventually even that was not enough, but I often ended up with Bronchitis and once Pneumonia. At one stage the doctors said that one of my lungs had collapsed and was no longer working.
I was diagnosed as having a weak chest, which meant that I could catch a cold very easily, and this often excused me from swimming activities because if the water was cold and I caught a chill, I was guaranteed to end up in bed with Flu and probably Bronchitis.
This continued to some degree into adulthood, and when I left school to work full time, I would often use up my sick leave to take off sick from work with the flu, usually at least twice a year.
Better But Not Gone
Later I was prayed for and the Lord touched me so that it did not happen as easily, but I still often came down with the flu and I learned to recognize how it worked in me. The first sign would be when I felt a burning sensation in the back of my nose, and when this happened I knew that a cold was imminent.
With experience, I began to recognize stages that I would go through with this. The first stage was a head cold, with my nasal passages blocked with phlegm, and sometimes a fever. This would last a few days, and then suddenly my head would clear and it looked like I had conquered it.
But then suddenly out of the blue, I would start to cough and splutter and I would start to feel a wheezing in my lungs when I tried to breathe. My voice would get croaky and I could not sing or speak loudly. As a preacher, I could no longer stand up the preach.
This would persist for a few days, and then if I did not recover, the infection would move down further into my chest and I would struggle to breathe while coughing up large amounts of phlegm. The rest of my body would be painful, with my joints hurting, and sometimes my kidneys hurt as my body tried to get rid of the toxins.
Eventually, the major effects would leave, but I would continue coughing and blowing my nose with a continual stream of phlegm and post nasal drip which would last weeks.
Getting a cold was something I dreaded because it would put me out of action for a month at a time.
The Three Spirits of Infirmity
Over time as the Lord began to teach me more about the spiritual realm and I began to see demons in the spirit, I eventually found that I could identify that there was a spirit of infirmity associated with each of these three clear phases or stages of the flu.
But even though I knew I had authority over demons, I found it hard to overcome these spirits once the cycle had begun. It seemed to me that once the first stage manifested, it was inevitable that I would follow through the next two stages.
But then as I began to move more into the supernatural and learn more about the ministry of healing, I realized that if I could overcome this during the first stage, I could stop it from proceeding further. And then I would escape the pain of the second stage and devastation of the third stage.
I read somewhere once an article by a doctor who said that if you could get rid of the infection in your sinuses at the beginning, you could prevent the flu from spreading further. He suggested using nasal sprays and ways of stopping the postnasal drip, which would cause the infection to go down into the lungs.
When the Covid pandemic manifested there were suddenly tons of articles on how this virus worked. And they explained that the virus first lodges itself in the sinus and the nasal cavity. When they test you for covid they usually push a swab up your nose until it reaches the place where the virus is located.
This is because the coronavirus is very similar to the flu virus and it works the same. Only it is a more deadly virus. But it follows the same pattern as the cold and flu virus. I read testimonials of people who survived who described the exact same three stages that I had identified for the flu.
The Deadly Third Stage
I realized that Covid, like the flu, only becomes devastating and deadly when it reaches the third stage. But it is not always as obvious at the beginning as normal flu. So often people only start to identify it after it reaches the second stage. And in fact, doctors will only recommend a confirmation test when these symptoms begin to show.
But if you could have dealt with this at the first stage, you could overcome it like a normal cold. They say that there is no cure or treatment for Covid, but in reality, there is no cure yet for the common cold either. You can only ease the symptoms until your body builds up enough resistance to overcome the virus.
Even so-called flu vaccines have to be continually updated because the flu virus keeps mutating and changing and they have to change the vaccine to suit the latest strain. That last time I had the flu I had many of the symptoms that are now attributed to Covid 19, including losing my sense of smell for nearly a month.
I had more severe effects than I had ever experienced before with flu and wondered if there was a new strain of flu in the air. But this was just before the pandemic manifested and covid was not yet identified or recognized.
With the threat of a virus that could kill, especially those who are older, and I fall right into that danger bracket, I realized that I need to learn more about this and seek the Lord.
Flu Is Not Easily Healed
From what I could see from history, even those who moved in great healing ministries of the past and were able to bring healing to people dying of serious diseases, there was little evidence that these great evangelists had much success with the flu.
One such evangelist who lived and ministered through one of the earliest flu pandemics was Amy Semple McPherson and although she performed many miraculous healings, there is no evidence that she was used to bring healing to those caught in the pandemic.
We only have evidence of someone who was immune to the virus and became famous by showing that the virus would die when it touched him. That was John G Lake who survived working with those infected while fellow ministers around him were dying of the plague.
Not Healing But Removal
So as the Lord began to lead me into a ministry of healing in the supernatural, I wanted to find out from the Lord how to deal with this from a supernatural approach. And the Lord gave me a unique healing gift that I did not fully understand at first.
It was an instrument He placed in my hands, which at first I thought would release a spark of power, like a taser to bring healing. But as I waited on Him he showed me that it had a very unique effect. It was to be used to extract the viruses and germs from a person’s body, almost like a spiritual vacuum.
Since I had not yet made contact with anyone having Covid, I had nobody to practice on but myself. And sure enough, it was not long before I began to experience the usual symptoms of the start of a cold. That characteristic burning in the back of my nose which I knew was going to end up in the flu.
But now it might not just be a normal flu – it could be the new coronavirus, which would lead to something far more serious than normal flu. And there was an urgency now for me to make this work.
So reached out to the Lord and held up this new weapon and pointed it at my head, and commanded the flu virus that was in my sinuses to come out and die. I continued this, using authority also against the spirit of infirmity that was involved in this first stage of the flu. And for the first time in my experience, something miraculous took place.
Instead of waking up the next day with full symptoms of a cold, the burning sensation went away and no cold manifested. I had won a victory over the three-stage virus and escaped my usual annual flu during the time when it was in the air.
It Is Not Just Physical
The enemy was not happy and tried to attack me again on more than one occasion. And I had found from past experience that he would first try to wear me down spiritually so that he could catch me by surprise. And while I was feeling spiritually down and weary, then he would attack and I would succumb to it.
But now I had learned his trick, and at the first sign of any of these symptoms, I immediately come into the presence of the Lord to build my spiritual power, and then I use my spiritual weapons against him and assert the authority that I have as a believer against the spirit of infirmity.
And by the grace of the Lord, I have now gone nearly two years without having the flu again. I have managed to stop it at the first stage before it progresses to the more serious stages.
Identifying The Different Viruses
Since the pandemic started I have prayed with a few people and the Lord also gave me a new gift of revelation associated with this new virus. He showed me how to identify both the normal flu and the Covid 19 viruses. And when I pray with someone I am able to get a revelation that shows me what kind of virus is involved.
I have been able to pray with someone who was afraid that they had caught the covid, and know that they did not have it. I could tell them that this was just the normal flu and they could deal with it without panicking.
But I have also prayed with someone who did have covid, and although I saw the Covid 19 virus, I also saw both the regular flu virus and other germs and things mixed together with it.
I am convinced that many folks who have succumbed to the covid have in fact been attacked by not only the new covid 19 virus, but also the normal flu virus at the same time. And this is why the attack is so devastating.
Once the virus has established itself in the lungs and moved to other parts of the body, the person is in a serious condition, and there is little that can be done medically. Even the gift of healing will not work effectively unless the spirit of infirmity behind it is dealt with first.
The Gift of Healing Is Not Enough
So it is possible that even the healing power of God can be ineffective when the person is under a spiritual curse or has an open door to the enemy. This could include both family generational curses and curses by association, in addition to curses that have come from our own personal sin and have given the enemy license in our lives.
So it is not enough to just pray for healing. We must deal with the demonic powers involved, and we must close all open doors to the enemy before these demons will leave. Then the body will be released to heal itself, and the gift of healing can function to release a power within the spirit of the person to rise up into their body and displace the disease.
All of these are principles that I have been sharing with the students in our School of the Supernatural. I am offering some of this now freely to the public to make you more aware of what you are facing when you contract the Covid 19 virus.
You can deal with this yourself by submitting afresh to the Lord and resisting the devil according to James 4:17. And from a medical point of view tackle the virus the moment it manifests while it is still in a weaker condition. Keep your sinus and nasal passages clear and do whatever you can in the natural to prevent it from moving down into your lungs.
Get someone to stand in agreement with you in prayer and stand on the promise of the Lord that where two agree together concerning anything that they ask, it shall be done.
By all means do all in your power to avoid contact with the virus by wearing a mask and sanitizing your hands, but also make sure that you do not pick up spiritual contamination from others by opening your heart to them and picking up their curse.
As you attack this from both a natural and spiritual point of view, you can conquer both the normal flu, which still continues to kill many each year, as well as the Covid 19. You can avoid becoming one of the statistics that are published each day.
