The life of God within us equips us to face every enemy of doubt, fear, shortage, sickness, disease and ALL of the evils of darkness, with the same calmness, confidence and presence of mind that Jesus demonstrated in the earth. Whatever came against Him, He released the supernatural in the same instant that He faced it!

Sickness, disease and all types of infirmity are rebellious to the truth that your body is the temple of God. But those infirmities can be dealt with, because there is an authority higher than they are—the name of Jesus! Sickness is an enemy every bit as much as the devil is, and as a Christ-filled believer who is one spirit with Him, you have the absolute authority to not just cast it out, but to live in divine health!

Should you and I be afraid of the works of the devil? No! Why? Jesus understood that He came from His Father and had access to legions of angels. If Jesus had access to that angelic host around Him—that caused every demonic entity to flee—how much more do WE have victory through Jesus who defeated him?

When Jesus ascended back to the Father, the devil thought he could continue to oppress and discourage the disciples to get them to quit. He didn’t realize that Jesus would be sending the Holy Spirit to fill these same weak people with a heavenly power equal to the power Jesus had over him!

When we submit to God’s Word and continue to claim it as who we are, no matter how messed up we may be in the now, we are allowing GOD to work His Word out in us, activating the power in it to renew our minds and transform our thinking. Then what? We begin to live, move and have our being in the real, transformed, Kingdom-life Jesus has given to us!

If you’re feeling like a captive on a boat that’s being upended because of someone else’s decisions or actions, don’t give in to anger and fear! Remember, if you’re born again then Jesus is not only with you on the boat, He lives in you! You possess His ability to remain in love, and in His name you can speak peace to those storms!

The name of the game is NO FEAR HERE! Allow God to breathe His life and whisper His wisdom into your heart. Commune with Him to pick up on His signals. He has direction for you in the midst of even the most difficult times!

Every time a leader in this world tries to play the role of God, it ends up in defeat. True greatness is NOT achieved by reducing other people to servitude, but in giving of yourself in selfless service to others!

There are hundreds of books out today talking about the power of the devil. Sure, they’re there, but why be so devil conscious? We don’t glorify a defeated liar! Devils and Jesus cannot cohabit in the same place. Jesus Christ lives in you! When you show up, they shouldn’t want to hang around!

The devil will know you if you take a stand. An ambassador doesn’t have to pray to act as an ambassador. He doesn’t need to pray to exercise his authority, all he needs to do is act like who his government says he is. An ambassador doesn’t need to pray to stamp your passport or approve your visit. No, he or she has the power to act, and they don’t hesitate to do it. Don’t wait on heaven anymore! It’s time to act on who you are in Christ!
