It’s important to remember that God is happy to answer our prayers and wants to bless His children. And He wants us, His children, to rejoice in the same way a child rejoices when he receives something from his parents!
You did not choose to be born. You didn’t choose your family, your color or your looks, but you CAN choose your future. Jesus said, “I am the way.” He did NOT say, “I am one of the ways,” or, “In my opinion, I am the way.” He knows your design and exactly what you need. Your soul cannot find rest until it finds its Creator.
The kind of true and unselfish love that doesn’t think of itself is only possible when you see yourself already taken care of by your Lord. If you really believe you are totally provided for, then you can switch your thoughts off yourself and on to others!
God is not like some powerful dictator. He’s kind. He’s full of love and mercy. The Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:16)! He’s calling to each of us, “Come! Let’s sit together and talk! Remind Me. Tell Me what I have promised you. Remind Me and I will do it for you. Show Me by your own words that you are ready, that you are willing to believe Me. I want to bless you and I can do what I have promised” (Isaiah 43:26).
Many people believe God has a huge office where He is very busy with a lot of work to do, which means He has absolutely no time for them. They look at the sky wondering, “Would God do anything for me? He’s so powerful but so far away…” But God doesn’t say “no” to you! God’s answer to everyone is “YES!” and He’s reaching out to you today. “If you are hungry, come to Me, and I will feed you! If you are thirsty, come to Me and drink! If you are in need, come to Me, open up your heart and give Me your problems!” (John 7:37)
Hell trembles at the voice of faith! Why? Because it has no effective weapon against a person who acts like the Bible is true—who believes that it will surely work just as it is written, and is applicable to every situation they will ever face!
Right now you and I can embrace the reality that no giant of sickness and disease, NO giant that comes against THE LIVING GOD, can exist in the presence of the One who lives in us, who believes in us, and who goes about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil!
Every born-again believer is walking in this earth with the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwelling in them, quickening and giving life to their mortal body (Romans 8:11). We should be addressing sickness and disease with authority by commanding our bodies to line up with the Word of God and to be made whole!
You as a child of God have been given dominion over viruses, bacteria, fungi, germs, and micro-organisms! You can speak to that life, cursing it at its root and commanding it to die, because it is not of God. Sickness is from the devil, it’s an oppression that has come to destroy your life!
Faith is an act of your will. YOU must decide the Word of God is true. It doesn’t work just because God wants it to work, the Word of God works when you put it to work by making the firm decision to believe it is true!
