Simply stating you believe something in God’s Word isn’t what produces results. Results are seen through being convinced of the reality that His Word is operating in your heart, your mind and your soul, along with the recognition that as you release your faith, this faith works by love. Not our ability to love God, but rather His amazing ability to love us!

Joy is an important part of life and is something God wants His children to experience and live in every day.  It’s a fruit of the Spirit and a strong feeling of the heart. In this very negative world where bad news is screamed at us from all sides, joy must be encouraged, protected, and cultivated. How do we find it? God’s Word is full of truths for you that produce joy! Believe them, meditate on them and speak them over yourself!

Your atmosphere is the mood, the influence, or the environment that you surround yourself with. An atmosphere without expectation will kill your dreams because it destroys the hope that is within you. An atmosphere of expectation, however, is conductive to the supernatural and divine intervention of God in your life!

When the twelve spies came back from the Promised Land, ten of them couldn’t conceive themselves winning in a battle with the giants, because they saw themselves as grasshoppers. God was for them, but they were against themselves. Start agreeing with God and see yourself achieving the impossible!

Read the Bible and find all the verses that talk about healing. You must take this medicine every day until your faith becomes so strong you can say, “Yes! By the wounds of Jesus, I am healed! I am healed, because Jesus took all my sicknesses upon Himself. Jesus died on the cross for me and gave me perfect health!”

Scripture tells us in Ephesians 1:6 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 challenges we face on this earth. Our position in Christ is secure, and if we will look at ourselves and the things around us from God’s true perspective, we will take our dominion over the mountains and the enemies against us and change things!

The world is constantly delivering its diagnoses, prognoses and projections of our future to us, so it is absolutely crucial that God’s Word be the louder voice and the unshakeable truth we’re continually living in and from. When it is, in faith we will rise up and roar, “My expectation is in the Lord God Almighty, the creator of the heavens and the earth, the one who lives within me, the one who believes in me and who is my provider, my healer and my covenant!”

The devil tries to rob us of our inheritance in Christ, trying to deceive us with lies and fears. He attempts to turn our attention to our failures, weaknesses and symptoms in areas such as our health—but remember, you are not “trying” to be healed. You are ALREADY healed, because God’s Word declares that Jesus already paid every penalty to set us free. By the stripes of Jesus you already ARE healed! (Isaiah 53:5, 1Peter 2:24)!

Romans 8:32 tells us: “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him [Jesus], graciously give us all things?” You don’t have to pay for it, you don’t have to crawl on your knees until they’re bloody to show God you’re willing to pay a price to receive His grace. No, the bloody knees were on Jesus. God has freely given us all things because of the blood of Jesus Christ!

“…when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe” (1 Thess. 2:13). It doesn’t say we and our own efforts are effectively working in us, it says the Word of God that we trust and believe is doing the work—regardless of what our senses or other people are saying!
