Psalm 91:16 tells us, “with long life, will I satisfy him [or her], and show them My salvation.” With long life, God will satisfy us! We are new creations in Christ who have been redeemed from the curse and all that comes with it (Gal. 3:13). Genetics and family history no longer dictate our destiny—we have access to a different DNA, the NEW spiritual DNA that we have inherited from the bloodline of Jesus!
When your body or your circumstances are speaking to you and trying to tell you that they are superior and have the upper hand, you need a revelation of the God-power Paul speaks of in Ephesians 6:10 that dwells within you; a power whose purpose is to infuse you with an excessive dose of inward strength!
Faith is a force that operates apart from the reality of our circumstances. Your present reality may be saying you are out of money, you are sick, you are unemployed, your children are lost—but faith operates in the reality of what GOD says about the situation. Why? Because regardless of what we may be seeing or feeling, God’s Word is the TRUTH on the matter!
Truly selfless love toward others is only possible when you’re confidently trusting in God’s promises that you are already taken care of by your Lord. If you really believe you are totally provided for, then you will naturally switch your thoughts to others!
How much does God love you? Isaiah 49:16 says God loves you so much that He has engraved your name on the palm of His hand. Matthew 10:30 says He loves you so much that He knows how many hairs are on your head. Psalm 56:8 says He loves you so much that He saves your tears in a bottle. Jeremiah 31:3 says He loves you with an everlasting love—an undying, endless love!
“Lord Jesus, I see you upon that cross, crucified for me. My sicknesses, diseases and every infirmity were upon You on that cross. Therefore, right now I receive my new body and my recreated spirit. I receive a sound mind and every part and system of my body made completely whole. I reach out, Lord, and I take what belongs to me. I declare that by the stripes of Jesus I was healed 2,000 years ago, and because it was done for me then, I am healed NOW! I thank you Father God and I receive it in the name of Jesus!”
Jesus is still performing the miracles that He did 2,000 years ago on the shore of the Galilee. How, you may ask? Through believers who are bold enough to be His hands and feet in the earth! Jesus is not intimidated by demons, sickness, sin, lack, or even death, and is a master over every circumstance and situation. If He lives in you, then this should describe you too!
God does not condemn us! God gives us access to His righteousness, His freedom, His Zoe kind of life for our world and everyone in our world. He erased the certificate of debt which listed all the rules we failed to follow with its decrees that were against us—destroying it and nailing it to the cross! “The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies” (Zephaniah 3:15).
Why would Jesus Christ die on a cross and take my sin if He didn’t have a plan for my success? Everyone should be planning for success, because the One who lives in you by His Spirit defeated your enemy! “The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies” (Zephaniah 3:15).
Your tongue is the unseen part of your body that plants seeds for your future harvests. It is guiding you to either a safe harbor, or to destruction. What you say of yourself, your relationships, and your future is more prophetic of your life than anything even the greatest prophet could foretell!
