Is it arrogant or wrong for a Christian to say they have healing and immunity from this virus?

Well let’s discuss this indirectly.

I’d say about 80% of preachers might never be able to use the John G. Lake story of him in Africa and his encounter with the plague, ever again.
Wouldn’t Lake be deemed arrogant here? He claimed and proved to have healing and immunity from the plague by the blood of Jesus, specifically citing Romans 8:2, ‘For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.’
I’ve heard way too many preachers say that Christians can’t claim immunity or healing over this, and all in the name of being socially accepted.
Does the Word always work? Yes, but not surprisingly to those who forcefully apply the Word in faith. So yes, Psalm 91 and Romans 8:2 still work, despite what you might hear some “theologians” say in this time.
We’ve got Romans 8:11, Matthew 8:17, Jeremiah 33:6, Psalm 103:20. And we’ve still got James 5:14-15, which sorry, requires a lack of social distancing.
Preachers cannot let corona take a higher value than the blood of Jesus. And if the people around you struggle in faith, then perhaps it’s because it’s not being preached to them. (If there’s a problem in the pew, there’s a problem in the pulpit.)
Preachers who have retreated in this time need to get back to Faith and the Word stronger than ever. It needs to be now, while people can still be helped. If you wait until this is over, your words might never carry much weight again.
Was John G. Lake arrogant for being immune to the plague?
