- Bishop Wellington Booneis a major Christian leader,

author, and pastor and apersonal friend of mine.

Bishop Boone, it's great to see you,

welcome to Prayer Link.

- Thank you Wendy, I'm glad to be here.

- You look a little bit dark right now.

I think the lighting has disappeared,

at least in my monitor so maybe, I don't,

your lighting guy canput some light on you

even as we're doin' the interview.

But bishop, you have been called fearless

by many who know you,

how do we, as Christians, be fearless

in the face of a worldwide pandemic

like the coronavirus?

- We have to ask ourselves,

in terms of this matter of fearlessness,

is the pandemic the thingthat God is focused on?

As a matter of fact, all the words

that he gave to his disciplesare still in effect.

When he gave the great commission mandate

to go into all the worldsto preach the gospel,

he never changed it.

He also said that these signs

will follow them that believe,

one of 'em was, Wendy,

lay hands on the sickand they shall recover.

Not, lay hands on the sick

and you'll get what they have.

- That's true.- We gotta stand

on the veracity of the scripture.

This matter of being saved,it's not being saved,

it's being sanctified.

We carry an anointing and a power from God

that changes circumstances.

So I see we're praying about the problem

rather than praying about the assignment.

- That's good.- The assignment that God has

for us is huge and we can'tget off message with that.

- That is so good.

Well, can you share some of your favorite

scriptures that we can useright now to combat fear?

- I have a boat load of 'em.(laughing)

I've written a book called "Dare To Hope"

and it comes out of Lamentations Three

and this particular phrase was actually,

you know, Jeremiah was whining,

really, about his circumstances

and finally one of the things he said

in Lamentations Three, he says,

"I forgot prosperity," and then after he

came to his senses, he says in verse 21,

"Yet I still dare to hope,"

and I want people to take the hope dare

because there abides faith, hope and love,

but the greatest of these is love.

But, hope is an eternal value.

So I want to put hopeback into the culture

by saying that God is still at hand,

that he's not intimidatedby any of the problems.

He's looking for faith in the Earth,

when I return will I find faith?

- Well bishop, before this virus struck,

I just found out you weretraveling a lot to Germany.

I didn't know you spoke German

and that you used to live in Germany.

Anyway, I'm sure you'renot able to go right now,

but you've been seeing many people

to come to Christ in Germany,

how do you think this pandemic

will affect the spiritualhunger of nations

like Germany, and Europe in general?

- This is what God made, Wendy, was this,

the two places, the two continents

where there was no revival

are Europe and America.

They have some moves of God

but we're called to move like God.

As he is so are we in this world.

So look, this is a challenge.

No revival in Germany and Europe,

then there's no revival in America.

So I'm at Billy Graham'sdoing a devotional

for their staff and oneof the vice presidents

said to me, "Germany's in a freefall.

"If you go there and preachwhat you're preaching there

"I believe you'll slow down the freefall

"and help restore the nation back."

I'm thinkin', "Who is this guy,

"telling me something like that.

"What does he know about me

"and my connection with Germany?"

Well here it is, I finishedhigh school in Germany,

in Bryn Mawr, and I tookGerman while I was in school,

I've done meetings with ChristFor The Nations in Germany,

with YWAM in Germany andI met my wife in Germany.

So we said, "Oh my God,this must be God speaking."

My wife and I went over there,

ended up at Kleinwelkawhere Ludwig van Zinzendorf

sent his first missionaries off

and boom it was on.

So we have a building we're looking at

and then I was goingback and forth, Wendy,

you know, I'm stayin' a month,

coming back two months, raisin' the funds,

stayin' a month, goin' back

and going all overGermany and from Germany

going to Europe and other places

to put the gospel out,to put a heart back.

One heart meaning having acompassion for their state

and two, a crunch time mentality.

I believe that what thiscoronavirus is doing

is allowing us to havea crunch time mentality

to say what God is sayingis what's gonna happen.

What we're praying is what's making

things move in the Earth.

I believe revival is coming

as the heart of Christiansreally go for God.

So I was on my way there,

I was on my way to Zambia

and I said, to New Life Church in Florida,

I said, "If you guys giveme the money I'm goin',

"I'm going to Zambia,then I'm going Cape Town,

"then I'm going to Germany."

Pandemic hit, I'm tellin' you,

I couldn't go, I couldn'tfly into Johannesburg

Germany closed us outfrom coming into Germany

but I was on the way because look,

I was thinking, "What if I get shut out?

"What if I can't come back to my home?"

And then the Lord burdened me, he said,

"Is heaven your home oris America your home?"

- Wow.- I said, "Oh my.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive me."

And then when that happened.

I'm waiting right now so I'm,

so this is a redemptive value,

me talkin' to you, I'mdoing Facebook Live,

things I've never did that.

This week I'm startingout with You Tube Live,

I have a You Tube channel,

I'm gonna go forward this way.

And one of my son's, Isaiah Saldivar,

which you maybe have never had him.

You gotta get him on this show.

He's that millennial, he's 28 years old,

reachin' millions, go to Isaiah Saldivar,

look him up, Wendy, he'skilling it right now.

Why, because--- I will, well listen,

we've only got a couple more minutes.

We really want you to take a moment

and pray for our audience and encourage,

you just carry so much hope

and so much of Jesus.

So, please pray for our audience right now

and whatever God is justputting on your heart

and we'll bow our heads.

- My father, I thank you and bless you,

so much that men ponder their ways

but you are their steps.

That before the foundation of the world

you knew that the devil would issue out

a sickness that would tryto slow down your work.

But all it's doing,Lord, is reinvigorating

Christians with a greater resolve

to rise up large inyour name in this hour.

So I pray for revival and healing

to every person underthe sound of my voice

and those right now thatmay have the corona,

receive your healing now.

Himself took your infirmaries

and bore your sicknessesand with his stripes

I declare healing over your life.

And in the name of the Lord,

I pray for faith to come alive

into every believers heart.

May you rise now, may you reach out

like you've never reached out.

May you have compassion

like you've never had compassion.

Faithful is he who calls you

who also will do it.

I bless Wendy and I bless that program,

I bless Pat and the wholenation of CBN people.

May your will be done in their lives,

may your name be glorified.

Is my prayer in Jesus name, amen.

- Amen.

All right, raisin' my hands here,

receivin' that word, Bishop Boone,

God bless you, you aresuch a spiritual father

to so many and to me.

And, God bless you.(kisses)

Thank you so much.
