“Lord Jesus, I thank You and take by faith the healing and deliverance You have given to me. Thank You that ALL things are now possible to me, because I believe Your ‘power of the possible’ is effectually working in my life. Thank You that I’m healed, I’m delivered and I am FREE!”
There is only one way to overcome the pain and torment of your soul, the pain of your sickness and the fear and the torment that is in your mind, and that is to come to the Lord Jesus Christ and give it all to Him. And as you leave it all with Him—trusting Him as your caretaker—His peace will fill your mind and your spirit, soul and body, and raise you to a new level of life and health!
1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us that as new creations in Christ, we have been given the mind of Christ! When we cooperate with the Holy Spirit to renew our minds to God’s Word, we begin to think and respond as Jesus in the earth, instead of like the world does!
I want to encourage you today that in the midst of your battles with whatever you may be facing—mentally, physically or otherwise—you have a covenant of peace with the Father. You are now ONE SPIRIT with the Lord Jesus Christ and are complete in Him! Renewing your mind to your covenant will transform your life and put you into a position where your mind will be at peace, your soul will find comfort, and your body can be completely healed! (Colossians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 6:17)
I believe Elijah stood in front of the battles before him and was able to call down fire from heaven. He was able, when necessary, to stop the rain. He was able to speak the will of God over his situations and over an entire nation of people. Elijah’s prayers prevailed, and now, with the very life and power of God living within us, how much more so should ours!
As believers, faith is a lifestyle we are all called to embrace. Three times in the New Testament we are told “The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17; Gal. 3:11; Heb. 10:38). What does that mean? It means that our decisions are not solely based on our senses. It requires that some steps be made without having all the facts, resources, or people in place, but God will make the difference!
Paul had an interesting view of himself. He thought of himself as a man who had died and awakened to a new life in Christ. He considered himself a dead man, yet still breathing. Dead men do not get offended at people. Dead men do not scream back when they are screamed at. Dead men can be poked, kicked, mocked and spit upon, and they still do not respond. The devil and his followers have no weapons left when Christians do not respond in fear or anger to their evil threats and actions!
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!
