Jesus paid the price for our sin and sickness and disease on the cross. So it’s not, “I’m GOING to be healed,” but rather, “I AM healed already! Not because I feel healed or look healed, but because the Word of God is more powerful than the way I feel or look!”
You might have been born into a poor family, with a poor education and poor friends in a poor neighborhood, but you do NOT have to stay there! There is no one limiting you. You are not a prisoner of your past, your neighborhood, your status or lack of education. When Christ comes to live in you there is a new power in operation!
The average Christian has a hit or miss attitude towards prayer. For some it is an afterthought when all else has failed. Jesus Himself challenges us when He tells us we are to expect specific answers when we pray (Mark 11:24). Without answers our faith life will dry up, as will our excitement in following Christ. The only difference between us and just another religion is answered prayer!
We must never forget that not only is God for us, He is with us, and He is IN us! The Creator of the Universe lives in me, therefore I can NOT fail! This empowers us to believe, and is our unshakable confidence in difficult situations!
God has also raised us from the dead with Christ and seated us with Him at God’s right hand. We are far above all power, all authority and all rule, seated at the right hand of God. He put ALL things under Christ’s feet, and that means they’re under OUR feet!
The Spirit of God dwelling in us gives life to our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11), and we call on this life to arise and strengthen us. The power dwelling in us was sufficient to raise Christ from the dead! Surely this power can infuse our bodies with enough life to overcome every sickness and disease!
What is the fight of faith? It is continually directing my mind to think like scripture says, rather than focusing on the circumstances. It’s identifying with God’s ideas more than my own, and holding onto His Word when all else looks otherwise.
If you take a seed from a magnolia tree and plant it in an oak forest, you will still get a magnolia tree regardless of the environment of trees that surround it. The tree is hidden in the seed. God’s seed planted in the hearts of people, wherever they are, will produce God-people!
In the book of Genesis we read about Joseph who experienced the pit, then a prison, and finally the palace. If you can survive the pit and the prison that tries to steal your dreams, you will experience the palace!
Miracles are the result of preaching the truth. Truth is what God says on the subject. When that truth is carried on words of faith, it brings the supernatural results people are looking for!
