If you are born again, the abundant life in Christ has already been given to you. God has already done it! There’s nothing you have to “get” because you already have it—but if you don’t know what you have, the enemy will continue stealing the fruit of it from you. This is why it’s so important to read your Bible! Once you learn what belongs to you—you can believe it by faith, speak it out and stand strong in it. It WILL come!

The thing standing between God and humanity was sin, and God removed that sin by laying it all upon Jesus. Now the devil has nothing in you, just as he had nothing in Jesus. The sin problem is fixed and your enemies have been cleared away (Zeph. 3:15). Now Jesus’ life is your life, His purpose is your purpose, His redemption is your redemption, and His resurrection is your resurrection!

When you are in Christ, the devil and his minions have no authority or power over you. They can’t hurt you and must do as you say, because you’re acting in the place of Jesus when you speak in His name. Jesus put Satan under, judged him and cast him out, and demons know that they have to flee at His name!

You are made in the image and likeness of God. What type of life does that produce? It’s a life full of adventure and expectation of new things every day. The resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s fearless and enthusiastic, greeting God with a childlike, “What’s next, Papa?”

Jesus has removed the judgements against us and has cleared away our enemies (Zeph. 3:15). Now our mission is to cooperate with Him in transforming us, by changing our old man thinking habits into new creation thinking! This is how we begin to live this new life He has purchased for us, and actively walk as agents of the authority we’ve been given!

Jesus doesn’t reign in some political system or church denomination, He is reigning in you and me! If you are born again, His peace, righteousness and joy are now a part of your life. There may be darkness all around you, but you are light because the light giver has His home within you. There may be curses all around you but you are blessed! There may be bondage all around you but you are free!

You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!

If you are born again in Christ, the ministry of healing is your job. It’s not an option, a movement, a special anointing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or a “special calling” for certain special saints. It is our JOB—a responsibility, an employment, assignment, profession, task, work—our duty. We are to look at healing with the expectation that we are doing our job when we speak, and Jesus is doing His job to bring healing to the hurting, because He paid for it!

Jesus took our shame, guilt and inferiority and replaced it with His righteousness, position and power before God. Protect your self-esteem, because it will surely be tested and bruised. Preserve your value, for the empty crowd will try to trample it under the boots of their insecurities. Find your health and wholeness by enjoying the New Creation life of Christ that He has invited you to enjoy with Him!

As you begin this week, remember the wonderful things that God has done for you. Every one of us who are born again have “super” living in our natural! The supernatural is Christ indwelling our natural flesh, making ALL things possible!
