How do we escape death, dying, lack, sickness and disease in this world? We put the Word of God in our mouths and present ourselves to Him with it, speaking only what He says about ourselves and our situations. This allows the Holy Spirit to work in us, renewing our minds to the place where we are locked into it and nothing can move us!
Psalm 91:16 tells us, “with long life, will I satisfy him [or her], and show them My salvation.” With long life, God will satisfy us! We are new creations in Christ who have been redeemed from the curse and all that comes with it (Gal. 3:13). Genetics and family history no longer dictate our destiny—we have access to a different DNA, the NEW spiritual DNA that we have inherited from the bloodline of Jesus!
We are given a truth that cries out to the ages for all who are broken, defeated, bound, weak, sad, lost, sick and fearful. What is that truth? It is the discovery of a NEW BEGINNING. God is not trying to repair what sin and satan have broken; He starts you off as a NEW CREATION—a brand new being!
Faith is a force that operates apart from the reality of our circumstances. Your present reality may be saying you are out of money, you are sick, you are unemployed, your children are lost—but faith operates in the reality of what GOD says about the situation. Why? Because regardless of what we may be seeing or feeling, God’s Word is the TRUTH on the matter!
The day you hear and receive Jesus as your Lord, life takes on a wonderful, new meaning! You discover that you are unique—deeply loved and of great value—and He lovingly works with you and in you to discover that uniqueness. As you enter this brand-new year, realize what a privilege life in Christ really is—each day an adventure, each breath a privilege!
“Lord Jesus, I see you upon that cross, crucified for me. My sicknesses, diseases and every infirmity were upon You on that cross. Therefore, right now I receive my new body and my recreated spirit. I receive a sound mind and every part and system of my body made completely whole. I reach out, Lord, and I take what belongs to me. I declare that by the stripes of Jesus I was healed 2,000 years ago, and because it was done for me then, I am healed NOW! I thank you Father God and I receive it in the name of Jesus!”
It’s an exciting time of year—a time of decorations, baking, lights, and of course, Christmas gifts! There is another very special aspect of this season—it’s when the angels said, “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord…Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men!” The greatest miracle gift of all is Jesus. May He be at the very center of your Christmas!
If Jesus lives in you, you have a miracle inside you! All His purpose and power is now able to grow and develop in you. This gives special meaning when we celebrate His birth at Christmas! “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
Why would Jesus Christ die on a cross and take my sin if He didn’t have a plan for my success? Everyone should be planning for success, because the One who lives in you by His Spirit defeated your enemy! “The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies” (Zephaniah 3:15).
Your tongue is the unseen part of your body that plants seeds for your future harvests. It is guiding you to either a safe harbor, or to destruction. What you say of yourself, your relationships, and your future is more prophetic of your life than anything even the greatest prophet could foretell!
