If Jesus walked into the room in person, would you do what He said? If so, then treat His Word in your hand just as you would Jesus in the flesh. When you do, the Bible will cease to be a history book and will instead become one of experiences to be discovered and lived!

Never forget that the miraculous seed of God put into a person by hearing and agreeing with words spoken by God in His Word is as powerful today in YOUR life as it was in Mary’s life, when she heard the word from an angel and agreed to let it be as it was spoken to her!

What picture are you forming your beliefs around—the picture of your past, or the picture of what God says about your possibilities and potential? Don’t allow your past experiences to determine what you believe. Instead, allow God’s Word to transform your mind and heart, and amazing experiences will follow!

It is amazing to think that we are no longer pawns in the hands of fate. We are no longer driven by winds of circumstance, people whims, or popular propaganda. We are at the fate of our own words. Jesus has voted YES for us. While we were sinners, He laid down His life and took the penalty of sin in our place. The devil has voted against us, and WE are casting the deciding vote by the words that are continually coming out of our mouths!

Romans 8:11 tells us that the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in our own spirits as believers was sufficient to raise Christ from the dead! Meditate on that truth, and make the conscious decision to allow that power to move into every part of your physical body with the life of God that overcomes every sickness and disease!

Until we are willing to give the kind of time and attention to God’s Word that produces change in our thinking, we’ll continue to be swayed by our feelings and the things we see and hear. All the devil heard from the lips of Jesus when tempting Him was “It is written,” and he was powerless against Him. Whose report are you going to believe, the devil’s lies or the report of the Lord?

When you have an encounter with Jesus Christ and surrender your life to receive Him as your Savior and Lord, it isn’t just an emotional experience. The seed of God is planted in you in the same miraculous way that the seed of God was planted in Mary to produce the Lord Jesus. You have a miracle in you, and now all His purpose and power is able to grow and develop in you!

The same Holy Spirit, with the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, also indwells you as a believer. What does that mean for you? It means the very light and life of God resides in you—giving His life to your spirit, soul and your body too (Romans 8:11). It means there is no longer anything in you that belongs to the devil. (Colossians 1:13) It means all the authority and power that Jesus walked in on the earth now dwells in you to do the works that He did (John 14:12). What is your part? Enter into the rest of faith and receive it all as a gift of His grace to you. Stay connected to the power source, and you’ll be a walking light bulb everywhere you go!

Don’t fall into the comparison trap! It restricts you and can hold you prisoner in a very small cell. When you stop comparing yourself to others you set yourself free to become truly exceptional!

Even if you received some faulty genes from your ancestors, the corrupted blood line of Adam ended when you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Now you are of the bloodline and DNA of your heavenly Father! Seeds of greatness now live inside you! He is always thinking of you—He sees you through your amazing potential!
