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 ALREADY healed! Not because I feel healed or look healed, but because the Word of God is absolutely true and more powerful than however I may feel or look!”
Jesus said that if He did not do the works of His Father, then not to believe in Him (John 10:37). That is strong language that must be backed up by the supernatural hand of God. But you too can boldly say the same thing, because as the Father was with Jesus, now Jesus is with you (1John 4:17). The mission that our Father sent Jesus on is the same mission that Jesus has sent you on!
When Jairus’ daughter died while Jesus was delayed, Jairus was told by Jesus to “only believe,” that his daughter will live. Death may be final, but NOTHING is “too late” when Jesus is with you! Keeping control of our emotions is important. I believe Jesus was saying to Jairus: “Just stay open to your miracle. Do not shut down. I am bigger than any bad report!”
Regardless of how uncertain things may appear around you, it is vital that you stay strong in the face of adversity, and know that the goodness of God rests upon you! Now more than ever, take the time to grow in intimacy with Him through His Word and prayer, and experience both His love for you and His reassuring hand upon you.
What do you do when the devil comes to offer you a reality that is not in God’s Word? You respond with the TRUTH of God’s Word and declare, “IT IS WRITTEN!” When Jesus spoke, sickness, disease, poverty and affliction would flee. You and I have the same authority as Jesus. When we speak, things happen!
How do we find peace in the midst of the chaos in our world today? Train your thoughts on JESUS! Change what you’re saying to what GOD says! Scripture is clear, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV).
Miracles are the result of preaching the TRUTH. People today ask, “what is truth?” Truth is GOD’S IDEA on the subject! And when that truth is carried on words of faith, it brings the supernatural result people are looking for!
The Bible says that Jesus took our diseases and infirmities upon Himself (Isaiah 53; 1Peter 2:24). So, when I look at Jesus, I can say, “Yes! You have ALREADY taken my diseases and sicknesses upon Yourself and bore them AWAY! And since you did this before I was ever born, it means I am already healed NOW—regardless of what my body may say—and I refuse to let the devil steal it from me!”
Jesus told us to go into all the world as His representatives. Where you go, He goes. Even as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). That doesn’t mean that you’re Jesus, it means you represent His power. If you can’t present His power, then all you’re giving the world is another philosophy!
If we don’t learn to look at our circumstances and situations through the eyes of faith, we will only see our need. Faith doesn’t look at the need, faith looks at the seed of God’s Word as the supply for every situation!
