If you are born again you are IN Christ and He is in you! He took away everything you had in Adam, and gave you everything that He had, including the dominion and authority Adam lost to Satan. This includes dominion over sickness, disease, lack and fear—Jesus has given you a brand new identity!

In God’s mind, time is always the present. Yesterday is gone. All your victories and defeats are in the past. You can learn from them and move on, or negatively dwell on them and remain stuck in the past, but God does not. He is interested in NOW!

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!

Scripture says in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say rejoice!” These are victory keys! Take any unbelief, expose it and bring it before God. It’s real and it’s attacking your mind. And then give glory to God, rejoicing in what belongs to us in the name of Jesus. And your faith shall be made strong!

The devil and his world system cannot hold back what God has promised for His children! Your part is to start each day with fresh expectation, believing and focusing on what God’s Word has promised to you as His dearly loved child!

The day you receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord, life takes on wonderful new meaning! You discover that you are an entirely new, unique being, because the living God now lives IN you, giving you the ability to know His love for you and all that this means. You now realize what a privilege life really is—each day, each breath is a privilege, and an opportunity to demonstrate the life and love of Jesus in the earth!

Jesus said in John 6:35, “I am the bread of life, and whoever comes to me will never hunger, and the one who believes on me will never thirst.” Have you pulled up to the table today and taken hold of the promises that God has for you?
