The Gospel is peace, wear it on your feet! Speak it aloud! Think about it! Pick up the shield of faith and believe that God will fulfill what He has promised!

“I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare you, that you may be justified” (Isaiah 43:25-26). In other words, God says, “Remind Me. Come to Me. Let’s talk. Let’s discuss it. Tell Me. Show Me what I have promised you, and I will do that very thing that I have told you I would do.”

Imagine your children asking you to buy them some ice cream. What happens when you give your child an ice cream treat? They are so happy and so grateful; they eat it with such great pleasure. They have ice cream on their face and hands and it is dripping on their shirt, but they are so happy because they are loving that ice cream. How do you as a parent feel then? “My babies are so happy and grateful. I will buy them something yummy again!” Isn’t that right?

Our heavenly Father is just as happy to answer our prayers! He tells His children, “Hitherto have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full” John 16:24). He tells us, “Ask that your joy may be full. I want to bless you. I want to help you. All you need to do is ask Me.” God wants us, His children, to rejoice in the same way a child rejoices when he receives something from his parents!

If you need God’s help, whether it is healing or any other need, then believe it’s already done.  He wants to touch and heal you. Just open your heart to God and pray these words in sincerity. Tell Him everything you want to say. He hears you and He loves you.

“Dear Jesus,You said in the Bible that You heal any sickness. You said that You save and heal everyone who calls upon Your name. I believe in Your Word and today I come to You. I believe that You are my healer. I believe that You are my Savior. I believe that You are healing my body right now. Thank You, Jesus, for this precious gift. Right now I receive what Jesus paid for with His own life. I receive my healing. I believe that I am healed! You are my healer, Jesus! Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Jesus! Amen.”

God has not abandoned us, but He has sent Jesus to every family, every home, and every person. God is our help. No matter what your problem is or what it is that you need, God sent His Son Jesus so that you and I could receive life.

1 Peter 1:23 says that you and I are born again of an incorruptible seed by the Word of God.  John 1:14 tells us that Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh. What does that mean for you and me? That means His Word is actually He Himself being released into the atmosphere around us. When we speak His words, He is present to heal in our midst. Luke 5:17 and many other scriptures let us know that as His words are being spoken, He is filling our midst with His presence!

According to Colossians 1:27, when you are born again Christ now lives in you. So, where is the presence of God? I’m not looking forward over here, or looking backward over there, or begging for it up there. I am relishing the abundance and living in the glory of His love and His life and His Spirit in me right now. I come boldly to His throne of grace and receive what I have need of from Him. I recognize that He lives in me, I live in Him, and His presence surrounds me.

When we receive Jesus in our hearts, He lives in us—His Spirit, His holiness, His righteousness lives in us. When we walk, He walks, when we talk, it’s like He’s talking through us. And when we lay our hands on someone, it’s like He is touching that person through us!

I am a miracle and I belong to a miracle. Jesus, born of a virgin; Jesus, who walked a sinless life; Jesus, who went to the cross and paid a price I could not pay; Jesus, who was raised from the dead on the third day.

I belong to a miracle because He calls me by His name. He calls me His child! I belong to a miracle and the miracle has made me, the miracle lives in me, and the miracle and I are one. We are one in Christ Jesus!

If in your life you have felt that it’s difficult to believe in miracles, or difficult to expect a miracle, I want to remind you that the greatest miracle that could ever happen is when someone is born again!
