Dr. Stella Immanuel, owner of the Rehoboth Medical Center in Houston, Texas, has shown the world in the past several days why she calls herself "God's battle ax." Despite the efforts of the cancel culture to shut her down, this prayer warrior, deliverance minister, pediatrician and emergency room physician has become a seemingly unstoppable spokesman for a protocol—hydroxychloroquine, zinc and Zithromax—she says is "a cure for COVID" that will "stop COVID in its tracks."

Immanuel says the fight to tell the world about this drug and gain acceptance for its more widespread approval and use has deep roots in Big Pharma—and even deeper ones in the spiritual realm. In a recent podcast interview with Steve Strang, founder and CEO of Charisma Media, this bold warrior opened up about what God has shown her prophetically.

Spiritual Battle

Of the COVID-19 pandemic, Immanuel says, "When these things started in March, I went to the Lord to pray. And I said, 'Lord, what is going on? What's going on?' And when the Lord showed me ... it was like there were missiles being released from the heavens, and they were being shot at people, and they were dying.

"So when I took it that it was a spiritual battle, I actually did a message to pray against COVID on YouTube, and I've been praying that message, praying over the nation, just praying and crying out that God will have mercy, will show us mercy. ... as a nation we have strayed away and gone some really crazy ways.

"But God shows mercy when He shows mercy," Immanuel says. "So we've been praying, and so I've been attacking this as a spiritual battle, praying, putting messages out for people to pray."

And Immanuel believes the battle extends even further. "At some point, I went to the Lord, and I just prayed. ... I said, 'Lord, is this it? Are You coming soon? Because the level of craziness that's going on right now, I don't see how we're going to come out of it. Is this it? Are You coming back soon? Should we just tell our families and get them right [with God]?'"

Prophetic Dream

"And that night, the Lord gave me a dream," Immanuel says. "And in that dream, I saw the president. The president had been beaten up. He had been beaten up and knocked down and laid out on the floor. In fact, I thought he was dead. I came running because I was crying. .... So when I came up, and I saw him, and I called one or two other people, and then we laid hands on him, and we started praying ... He rose up, and he stood tall. He stood tall and big, and he got back to work. And of course, those who were attacking, they were so irate.

"And I got that message. I said, 'OK Lord, thank You. You've given us a ray of hope. That means we have hope. You've had mercy on us.' ... it's only God's mercy that can turn the tide around."

And Immanuel believes that tide will turn. "We have given the devil—we're giving this thing—30 days, [until] Aug. 31, for everything to be turned around. If people get hydroxychloroquine, the schools will be open, people will get back to business, this disease will be stopped in its tracks.

"And we are praying, we're not taking any prisoners and ... any power, any spirit, any personality, any person that wants us to die, that wants Americans to die, death himself will die in our place. We will not die, we will live. ... This thing is a spiritual battle."

Immanuel says when she spoke out with a group called "Frontline Doctors" on the steps of the Supreme Court building, "It was like something broke in the Spirit. ... People have hope again that it's going to be OK. We will live; we will not be destroyed. We just have to pray."

Powerful Prayer

And as the podcast ended, Strang invited Immanuel to do just that. She offered a dynamic prayer of healing and deliverance that includes an appeal for God to "have mercy upon this nation," declaring, "Satan, we bind you in your activities over this nation. All your minions, all the principalities ... darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places that want to destroy America, we command you right now to be destroyed in the name of Jesus."

Later in her prayer, she declares, "We shall not die but we shall live to proclaim the name of the Lord in this nation. America will be alive again. America, you will stand again. America, you will serve God again. America, you will have revival. ... We wait for the manifestation of Your power, manifestation of Your presence over this nation in the name of Jesus, King of glory. I thank You, Lord, and I just pray for everyone who is in the hospital who is afflicted by this virus, I decree healing: healing over this nation right now. In the hospitals, I command that virus to get out of people's bodies and go to the pit. Let this healing balm of Gilead just flow through every hospital, every home, every part of this nation and bring healing to the people in the name of Jesus.

"Healing, oh God; healing in their soul; healing in their body; healing in their spirits in the name of Jesus," Immanuel cries out to the Lord. "Oh God, I pray for peace that surpasses all understanding, soaking every single one of us in the name of Jesus. Father, let Your kingdom come; it is Your counsel that will stand in this nation. Father, I give You praise. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Regardless of your thoughts about Immanuel's championing of hydroxychloroquine, we invite you to join your prayers with hers and those of the Charisma Media staff as we call on our heavenly Father to heal our land.
