“For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God” (1 Cor. 1:20 AMP). Regardless of whether you or anyone else has experienced it—you are saying Amen to that promise and agreeing that it is yours!

There are two things essential to humankind’s sense of well-being. First, we must feel secure, and second, we need to feel significant. Our security is tied to our relationship with Jesus, while our significance is tied to our impact on our world. When we realize that there are people who God has prepared for us to speak to, and that every life is important to Him, then our value is enhanced. What we do has an eternal impact!

If you are born again, the abundant life in Christ has already been given to you. God has already done it! There’s nothing you have to “get” because you already have it—but if you don’t know what you have, the enemy will continue stealing the fruit of it from you. This is why it’s so important to read your Bible! Once you learn what belongs to you—you can believe it by faith, speak it out and stand strong in it. It WILL come!

In order for God to work with us we are going to have to cooperate with Him. If we want to receive total victory and deliverance, it’s not enough to simply KNOW that God knows and understands and cares. We must go on from there and DO what His Word says! Cast ALL of our anxieties, ALL of our worries and ALL of our concerns upon Him, for He cares for us! (1 Peter 5:7)

We should never be skeptical of realizing the great promises we see in God’s Word, but must respond to them with a YES, even if we haven’t seen them happen yet. We’re not trying to be confident in our own ability, but rather in HIS ability to move and work through us!

When you are in Christ, the devil and his minions have no authority or power over you. They can’t hurt you and must do as you say, because you’re acting in the place of Jesus when you speak in His name. Jesus put Satan under, judged him and cast him out, and demons know that they have to flee at His name!

You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!

If you are born again in Christ, the ministry of healing is your job. It’s not an option, a movement, a special anointing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or a “special calling” for certain special saints. It is our JOB—a responsibility, an employment, assignment, profession, task, work—our duty. We are to look at healing with the expectation that we are doing our job when we speak, and Jesus is doing His job to bring healing to the hurting, because He paid for it!

When you speak what God says, meditating on the verses and allowing the Lord to write them on your heart, the power of His Word works in you and through you to push out the wrong thinking habits of the old man. Eventually there’s no old man left, and you’re living and walking in the real, New Creation you!

If you are a follower of Christ, then you have His life in you and everything included with it. You have His model of supernatural life, His expectation of answered prayer, His righteous stand before God without shame, guilt, or sin, His heart for lost humanity, His call to give away His free life to others, His victory over the devil, sickness, inferiority and lack. Anything of the curse, you have dominion over!
