When we submit to God’s Word and continue to claim it as who we are, no matter how messed up we may be in the now, we are allowing GOD to work His Word out in us, activating the power in it to renew our minds and transform our thinking. Then what? We begin to live, move and have our being in the real, transformed, Kingdom-life Jesus has given to us!

People wonder, who IS God?? God is APPROACHABLE, PERSONABLE, FORGIVING, KIND, COMPASSIONATE, HEALING, LOVING, UNCHANGING, DEPENDABLE, JOYFUL, PATIENT—and this is just the tip of who our wonderful GOD is. He is in your corner and FOR you! Allow Him to be and do everything He desires to in your life!

If you’re feeling like a captive on a boat that’s being upended because of someone else’s decisions or actions, don’t give in to anger and fear! Remember, if you’re born again then Jesus is not only with you on the boat, He lives in you! You possess His ability to remain in love, and in His name you can speak peace to those storms!

I’m not afraid of the devil because God lives IN me! I’ve been delivered for all time from sin, and the devil has no claim on me and no part in me! That means I’m healed! I’ve been delivered! I’ve been set free to live in the same blessing and authority that Jesus had in the earth!

You don’t need to fight against what Jesus has already defeated for you—but you do have to learn from God’s Word everything that you’ve been given.  How will you ever receive and walk in what you don’t even know you have?

Your healing is already paid for! Jesus bore your sicknesses and carried your pains, and by His stripes you ARE healed (Isaiah 53:5; 1Peter 2:24). The work has ALREADY been done for you. The price has ALREADY been paid. And when the revelation and understanding of this truth becomes stronger and more real to us than the symptoms trying to defy it, we will walk in not just healing, but divine health!

God’s plan for people was a garden experience where He would walk with us and provide for us. We would live without shame and love would rule. In Christ, we have been returned to that relationship! He bore upon Himself our shame and who we had become because of sin, and gave us HIS life in exchange. Now, in Christ, we have been brought back into the Father and are one spirit with Him!

“Lord Jesus, THANK YOU that You went to the cross and took away all of my sin. You took every form of sickness and disease upon Yourself, and You died for me. Now I see every sin, failure, fear, and problem, every weakness, sickness, tumor, and autoimmune disease laid upon You 2,000 years ago. Lord Jesus, I know I am crucified with You, and now I live, yet not I, but You are alive in me!  Thank You that I have exchanged my old life and my old body for YOUR life and YOUR health!  I have come out of the grave and am now saved, healed and delivered! I am a child of the living God, and I thank You that I have no fear of tomorrow, I have no fear of any diagnosis, and I have no fear of failure or sin, because I am in You and You are in me!”

The great tragedy of this world is not the fall of mankind, but the realization that multiplied millions don’t know what Jesus has done for them. They don’t understand that they have been released and set totally free from slavery to the effects of sin and darkness—and all God is asking them to do is believe it and receive it!

To the religious leader of Jesus’ day healing was easier, even acceptable. To the religious in our day, forgiveness of sin is easier, acceptable. But we can read in God’s Word that Jesus bore away both our diseases AND our sin! The moment you were born again you entered the kingdom of God, where in His eyes, you are completely forgiven and healed. When you begin to say what God says, regardless of how you may be feeling, and allow the Holy Spirit to renew your mind to the truth of it, it will become your reality!
