“Jesus, You went to the cross and took away all of my sin. You took every form of sickness and disease, and you died for me. Now I see every sin, failure, fear, and problem, every weakness, sickness, tumor, and autoimmune disease laid upon You 2,000 years ago. Lord Jesus, I know I am crucified with You, and now I live, yet not I but You are alive in me!   I exchange my old life and my old body for a new life and a new body.  I come out of the grave, I come forth from the tomb, and I declare I am saved, I am healed, I am delivered, and I am a child of the Living God! Thank you, Jesus, I have no fear of tomorrow, I have no fear of any diagnosis, I have no fear of failure or sin, because I am in You and You are in me!”

God has deposited a vision in every heart to reach the world. When Jesus enters your life, a compassion for the rest of the world enters with Him. If you’re not feeling it, then it’s time to renew your mind to who God’s Word says you are and how much He loves you. The feelings will follow!

When Jesus called Lazarus forth out of that tomb in John chapter 11, as soon as He called him forth He said, “unwrap him and let him go.” Why is this important? Because many of us are still wearing the garment of the old man and all that comes with it, instead of putting on the new! If you are in Christ you have not only been brought back to life, you have been unwrapped and transitioned into a new kingdom!

There is a place in Christ where you lack nothing. That place may surprise you—it may appear to be a lifeless, famine field! Your faith and actions make the difference in how your environment responds to you!

Jesus destroyed our spiritual enemy! Now our mission is to allow the Word of God to renew our minds and transform us, so we can effectively walk in this life He has purchased for us and be agents of the authority we have been given!

Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you so believe it! And don’t stop there—expect it, plan for it, dream it, speak it out loud!

It is only when you get a revelation of who Jesus is and who you have been made to be IN Him, that you can begin to understand how you are capable of living, and what you are capable of doing for God. Revelation—it is my motivation!

In God’s mind, time is always the present. Yesterday is gone. All your victories and defeats are in the past. You can learn from them and move on, or negatively dwell on them and remain stuck in the past, but God does not. He is interested in NOW!

Have you seen the cross of Jesus Christ? Have you recognized the fatal blow it delivered to the devil’s authority over you? Are you experiencing the resurrection power of God now available to you in forgiveness, deliverance, health and every area of your life?

You should never be too busy to say goodbye to your old self with its past habits, thought patterns, and mistakes of yesterday, and hello to all you have been given in your resurrected life in Christ. “You have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator” (Colossians 3:9-10 HCSB).
