It is so important to remember that when we are born into the kingdom of God, our spirits are recreated and we no longer possess solely a human identity; we take on Christ’s identity, a GOD identity. He who is joined with the Lord is one spirit with Him! (1 Cor 6:17)

The world needs to know who God is—how much He loves them, what He has done and what He will do for them. Let it be a settled fact, it is God’s will to heal us. We are given healing as well as forgiveness when we believe!

Faith never judges according to sight or feelings, because faith is the evidence of things not seen but promised. Faith rests on far more solid ground than the evidence of the senses—the solid ground of the Word of God! The reality your senses are experiencing may disagree at first, but when you remain immovable on the truth of God’s Word, your experiences will change!

What will the future hold as you stand once again on the threshold of a new year? You can declare with confidence that you are more than a conqueror in every situation as Romans 8:37 declares. Why expect the worst when ALL things are possible to those who believe, as Jesus has spoken? Why believe it will be a time of fear and isolation, when Jesus said I will never leave you nor forsake you?

Jesus gave to us the gift of eternal life along with the gift of His Word. Every day of our lives we can choose to unwrap the exciting treasures that are contained within those gifts!

The turning point in the world for the future of mankind was when God revealed Himself through His Son, a baby born in a manger. God identified with us as His Son grew into a man and continually demonstrated the Father’s heart of love as He healed, delivered and set captives free. Your breakthrough is coming to you because of that breakthrough 2,000 years ago!

According to Colossians 1:27, Christ now lives in you. So, where is the presence of God? It’s not over there somewhere, or just up ahead, or waiting for you at church. The glory of His love, His life and His Spirit came to live INSIDE you the moment you were born again!

Jesus has purchased all humanity back from the enemy, from the broken and so-called “unusable” people who are considered worthless by society, to those perched upon high pedestals and revered throughout the ages. We are ALL redeemed by His precious blood. “And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices” (Hebrews 10:18). When our sins are paid for, they are no longer held against us. We are paid for in full!

During these days in which we’re living, it’s vitally important to understand that Satan has NO power! The only influence he has over us is what we give him when we believe his lies over the Word of the Living God!

The disciples saw a man hanging on a cross who had been judged guilty of a crime; they didn’t see the crimes of humanity put on that Man. They saw blood flowing from the head, side, and back of a man, but didn’t see the curse of sickness legally removed from humanity and put on that Man. They saw a man lifted off the ground on a wooden beam, they didn’t see themselves lifted from the control of this world’s system. They witnessed the flesh of one man being crucified, but didn’t realize that the sin nature of all men was being crucified on that day!
