You have the same faith that Jesus has. It is a faith that has confidence in the unseen and is not based on any evidence other than the Word of God. This faith moves mountains and brings answers to prayer!
When you believe in your heart and confess Christ as Savior, nothing can separate you from God. No sin can control you. No sickness can have authority over your life. God Himself lives in you!
What is the position we take when we have unanswered prayers? We stand firm and never quit! Elijah prayed 7 times for it to rain. He didn’t quit at the 6th time and start teaching his disciples why God doesn’t always answer. No! He persisted and received rain the 7th time! 1 Kings 18:42-44
I have walked the ‘be strong and of good courage’ path for many years with nothing more than the Word of GOD in my heart, a positive confession in my mouth, and a small band of committed partners. I have seen His miracles and I KNOW that GOD will never fail us! He is true to HIS Word!
Ephesians 1:6 says that we are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That’s not a future promise, it’s a present reality that will help you greatly as you navigate the tribulations on this earth. Our position in Christ is secure, and as we look at ourselves from His perspective we will rise above the mountains and the enemies before us!
Jesus is not only with the Christian but He is IN the Christian—yet many are full of fears and worries, gloom and doom, waiting for a bail out by something “bigger and better.” It’s only when you know Who is WITH you and IN you that you will rise to new levels of confidence!
It’s important for us to understand that there are no limitations or boundaries drawn where God “categorizes” a sickness as being simple or difficult. The power of the Lord is present to heal now, even as you are reading this. And that healing power covers EVERY manner of infirmity, and every manner of disease!
When I have a time of need, I march boldly into the throne room of God to obtain what I need. I turn the circumstances over to Him and say: “Father, no matter how I feel or how I look, no matter if sickness is knocking on my door, I know sickness is NOT the truth and will therefore not be my reality. I’m giving it to You, I thank You, and am here to boldly acknowledge and receive the healing You provided for me through what Your Son has done for me!”
It seems natural to me that if I have a living God who has revealed Himself to me, that I should expect Him to get involved with my life. It’s HIS idea to be among His people! He reveals Himself as a caring God who loves us, and we should expect to recognize signs of that in all that we do. Jesus hasn’t lost any power, love, or concern for people, so allow Him to be Himself in your life!
Do you see that when Jesus died on the cross He took all your sins and all your sicknesses? The Lord Jesus delivered you from the devil’s captivity and gave you freedom—freedom from any kind of bondage, sickness or disease!
