We are God’s conduits of blessing. You can be a bathroom faucet or a huge industrial pipe, it’s up to you. God is pouring out His blessing from heaven 24 hours a day, but you decide the amount that will flow through you!

Right now, you and I can embrace the truth of God’s Word that says NO giant of sickness, lack, or oppression of any kind that comes against the living God can exist in the presence of the One who lives in us, who believes in us, and who goes about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil!

God’s Word is not a rulebook to limit humanity’s pleasure. He created your Bible as a power-filled guidebook and operations manual on how to live and experience life at a new level—a life of love and peace, free of guilt, fear, lack, sickness and all the other distresses of mankind!

During these days in which we’re living, it’s vitally important to understand that Satan has NO power! The only influence he has over us is what we give him when we believe his lies over the Word of the Living God!

At the heart of the New Covenant lies a deep confidence that God has ALREADY DONE everything for us. Our part is simply to respond—to allow Him to do for us and in us what His grace has already given to us. We enter into the rest of faith, believing what God has said and continuing to thank Him for it!

When you were born again, Jesus took your sin and gave you a clean start. He took your sicknesses and gave you a sound body. He took your pains and gave you relief. Don’t continue to carry things that don’t belong to you anymore!

It’s interesting that in the four Gospels the writers didn’t talk about Jesus’ appearance—His features, the color of His eyes or skin, His muscles, His height, His posture, or His hair. Modern writers focus on these things, but the Gospels are different. They are focused on His words and His wonders! Regardless of what we look like, Jesus is to be our model in love, compassion, response, action, authority, wisdom, purpose and power!

When doubt, fear and opposition come my way, I tune in to the one who lives on the inside of me and something begins to happen! I become bigger than life, because the Greater One lives on the inside of me. Scripture is clear, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)! That may sound unusual to you, but the imagination is a powerful tool that God has given us to bring His Word to life in us!

In the face of storms, Jesus spoke peace and all became calm. In the face of taxes, He said to go fishing and gold was found. In the face of lack, He spoke blessing over bread and multiplication occurred. In the face of devils, He spoke a word and they were cast out. In the face of corrupt governments, He remained steady while they trembled in His presence. We are called to walk in His likeness!

You can overcome the fear of rejection and saying the wrong thing (or the right thing wrong) when you remember that favor isn’t always a result of performance. Regardless of your speaking abilities, or lack thereof, God can give you influence and anoint your words to be powerful and effective to your hearers!
