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!”
You and I are created to be connected to the greatest factory of ideas that ever existed. We were created in the image of the One who has a supernatural reservoir of inspired possibilities!
God is FOR you! He gave you the gift of eternal life so you would have peace of mind about your future. He breathed into you part of Himself so you would have awareness of His presence. He gave you the name of Jesus so you would have authority over all evil spirits. He gave you His promises for every area of your life so you would know His best for you. God is not hard, He is benevolent and HE LOVES YOU!
God has given you a fail-proof tool to practice His presence. You have your own direct line of communication to God Almighty, and scripture tells us that as we pray in the spirit, the mysteries of God are being revealed for our lives!
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!
If we spend most of our time begging God to do what He’s already done, and the rest of the time asking Him to do what He’s told us to do, what have we just done? Nothing! Ask yourself today, are you a beggar or are you a believer?
Scripture says we are to “love others as we love ourselves” (Mark 12:33, author’s paraphrase). Maybe the reason there is so much harsh treatment of others is that people hate themselves. They don’t have an understanding of how deeply God loves and values them, and as a result feel less-than and condemned most of the time. They can’t give to others what they don’t have, so they project that same attitude toward those around them!
