Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you so believe it! And don’t stop there—expect it, plan for it, dream it, speak it out loud!

Have you seen the cross of Jesus Christ? Have you recognized the fatal blow it delivered to the devil’s authority over you? Are you experiencing the resurrection power of God now available to you in forgiveness, deliverance, health and every area of your life?

You should never be too busy to say goodbye to your old self with its past habits, thought patterns, and mistakes of yesterday, and hello to all you have been given in your resurrected life in Christ. “You have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator” (Colossians 3:9-10 HCSB).

One of the names of God is Jehovah Jireh, translated “the Lord will provide.”  God is revealing Himself to us as the Lord Who will provide. In other words, He wants us to remember that He is our source, and that He provided the covenant sacrifice that paid the price for our sins. We have a hope, a future, and an expectation that God will work on our behalf!

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, because we’re not sitting next to Him, we are positioned IN Him, and He is IN us! When we understand this and look at ourselves from His perspective, we will rise above the mountains and the enemies before us!

Many people fail to receive what they pray for because of lack of understanding about confession. The word confession in the Greek language means “saying the same thing.” This means we are to believe and say only what God says in His Word about our sins, sicknesses and everything else included in our redemption. When we affirm what God says about it, He watches over it to make it good!

God tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that He gives seed to the sower. What seed from God do you have that you can sow? His Word is full of seeds, they are the truth of who you are in Christ, what you have, and what you can do. Find those seeds and start sowing them into your heart, speaking them over yourself each day. Water them with your faith and patience, and watch transformation begin to take place as you see the Word becoming alive in you!

Jesus gave Peter power to walk on water, but the devil stole it away by getting him to fix his attention on the wind (representing things we feel) and on the waves (representing things we see). Peter had the power and used it, but then lost it by doubting. If we will keep our focus continually on Jesus, we will walk in the miraculous!

We are now seated at the right hand of God, permanently in the presence of God! It’s NOT something that we have to atone for or “measure up” to be there! Our sins were wiped out permanently! We must believe what we see in the Word of God that says we are raised up above all sickness, disease, poverty, lack, fear, weakness, every diagnosis and anything that would come against us!

Never underestimate the importance of your personal testimony, no matter how small it may seem. The potential of your words in a heart that is ready to receive it is as explosive as one little match in a mountain of dry wood!
