Faith is what allows us to see and be confident and happy about the answer to our prayers when we pray. We’re not waiting for a physical manifestation to be confident. We enjoy what we believe as if we had the things we believe for now in our possession!
What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see your weaknesses, your inadequacies, your imperfections? Or, do you see what God sees? He sees you IN CHRIST—holy, blameless, free from accusation and accepted as a dearly loved child! He sees you as complete and more than a conqueror, because the conqueror lives IN YOU!
At the cross Jesus disarmed the devil! He disarmed the power of sickness and disease! He disarmed the power of fear and the power of sin! He completely removed the judgments of sin that were against us and cleared away our enemies. We are free! (Zeph. 3:15)
What is the fight of faith? It is continually directing my mind to believe what scripture says rather than focusing on what I’m feeling, hearing or seeing around me. It’s identifying with New Creation reality instead of the law of sin and death, and holding onto God’s Word when all else looks otherwise!
Sickness tries to bring sorrow, circumstances try to weaken your spirit. But an overflowing, abundant fruit of the Spirit who lives within you is joy! It’s an attitude that brings confidence in what God has already done for us. Never overlook or underestimate the attitude of joy and its value in your life!
You are destined for success! But to get there, you have to put off your old thought life and put on the thought life of a new creation. Your old way of thinking is who you were in Adam, and is what most people are accustomed to because that has always been their reality. But you, as a New Creation in Christ, have a DIFFERENT reality that has is based on what GOD says, NOT what the world or past experience says. The world thinks, “this is the way it is, therefore this is the way it will always be.” No! You’re a NEW Creation! Get in the Word and bring your thinking up to KINGDOM reality!
Is there any sickness in the image of Jesus we see from His Word? Jesus took all of our sickness upon His body years ago, and then He rose from the dead. And when He rose from the dead, He was signifying that every form of sickness and disease had been dealt with and was taken care of. Now, you and I today can come into His presence. And in His presence there is no sickness, just fullness of joy!
When you made Jesus Lord of your life, He came to live inside you, taking away your sins, sicknesses and failures, and replaced it all with HIS life. What does that mean? You’re forgiven! You’re healed! He restored the dominion and authority to you in the earth that had been lost to the devil! Now you have the ability to live your life through Him—a powerful, victorious life that sets other captives free and brings glory to God!
If you’ve been in a situation that has been ongoing to the place where you’re finding it a challenge to keep believing and declaring God’s promises, remember this: the God of the universe, our FATHER, has given us His Word and declared to us, “THIS IS TRUTH.” That means that what He says is REAL. His Word, His truth, is REALITY. The enemy and the world continually come at us with the same, “has God really said?” lie used on Adam and Eve. “Can you really trust God? Are you seeing it in your life? It must not be real!” So ask yourself, whose “real” are you connecting with? When you take the promises of God and become fully persuaded that what HE says is truth, regardless of what you may be feeling or experiencing in the now—they will become your REALITY!
Those things that have limited you in your body, your background or your relationships may have made you believe that your future is limited. But I want you to know that God’s Word is absolutely true, so if Jesus is your Lord, the reality is that your future has NO LIMITS!
