Professional Support As we pray for the cancellation of the COVID-19 pandemic – and it shall come to pass! – and retreat to the most sterile lifestyle possible, I’m led to address a byproduct of quarantine and isolation: hopelessness. Hotlines are receiving innumerable suicidal calls as a result of isolation and anxiety. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides support for those who need help. The CDC's trained counselors provide free and confidential services. I encourage you to reach out to them for professional support. We thank God for the professionals that He often uses to answer our prayers.

Spiritual Guidance As your spiritual leader, I also strongly urge you to use this time of isolation to study the Word of God and know Him more intimately. And, in those communications, study Rev 1:9-11: “I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches,…’” (Rev 1:9-11). The Book of Revelation was revealed to the Apostle John on an island called Patmos.

“ Revelation ” in Greek is “apokalupsis” and it means to unveil or uncover . It implies the lifting up of a curtain so that all can see alike what is uncovered. When used of writing, it means to reveal or make clear (Eph 3:3; Gal 1:12). “ Patmos ” means “my killing”. It was a sterile island -- unable to produce offspring; infertile; free from living; not producing or bearing seeds or fruit; lacking inspiration or vitality; fruitless.

God used such a place – a volcanic, treeless, rocky island, that was intended to be a place of exile by the Romans for the lowest of criminals -- to bring to John the Revelation of Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!!! What can we learn from John? 1.  John was communicating with God. "Prayer moves God!" 2.  John went through a process. "Don't Fight the Process!" 3.  John wrote the vision-message. Journal your prayers! As you are retreated to a place of sterility, communicate with God, consider what He is revealing to you in the process, and write it in your journal (Hab 2:2-3)! Blessings be upon you, Archbishop N. Duncan-Williams
