Jesus suffered for all your diseases instead of you. He has already crucified all your sicknesses and diseases. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you and I are completely healed from every sickness! The Bible says so in Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2:24. This IS the will of God for you!
Do you see yourself as a totally new creation, or are you still thinking and living like the old, sin dominated person that Jesus went to the cross and gave His life to destroy? Apostle Paul said, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). This is what celebrating Resurrection Day is all about!
In order for God to work with us we are going to have to cooperate with Him. If we want to receive total victory and deliverance, it’s not enough to simply KNOW that God knows and understands and cares. We must go on from there and DO what His Word says! Cast ALL of our anxieties, ALL of our worries and ALL of our concerns upon Him, for He cares for us! (1 Peter 5:7)
We should never be skeptical of realizing the great promises we see in God’s Word, but must respond to them with a YES, even if we haven’t seen them happen yet. We’re not trying to be confident in our own ability, but rather in HIS ability to move and work through us!
You are made in the image and likeness of God. What type of life does that produce? It’s a life full of adventure and expectation of new things every day. The resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s fearless and enthusiastic, greeting God with a childlike, “What’s next, Papa?”
Jesus has removed the judgements against us and has cleared away our enemies (Zeph. 3:15). Now our mission is to cooperate with Him in transforming us, by changing our old man thinking habits into new creation thinking! This is how we begin to live this new life He has purchased for us, and actively walk as agents of the authority we’ve been given!
Jesus doesn’t reign in some political system or church denomination, He is reigning in you and me! If you are born again, His peace, righteousness and joy are now a part of your life. There may be darkness all around you, but you are light because the light giver has His home within you. There may be curses all around you but you are blessed! There may be bondage all around you but you are free!
If you are born again in Christ, the ministry of healing is your job. It’s not an option, a movement, a special anointing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or a “special calling” for certain special saints. It is our JOB—a responsibility, an employment, assignment, profession, task, work—our duty. We are to look at healing with the expectation that we are doing our job when we speak, and Jesus is doing His job to bring healing to the hurting, because He paid for it!
As you begin this week, remember the wonderful things that God has done for you. Every one of us who are born again have “super” living in our natural! The supernatural is Christ indwelling our natural flesh, making ALL things possible!
Salvation means so much more than being heaven bound and saved from eternal judgment. Yes, salvation is deliverance from sin—but that deliverance doesn’t stop there! It brings with it healing for our bodies, peace for our minds, joy in our soul, and the confident awareness that we are loved, protected and cared for beyond any human ability. This is New Creation living!
