Jesus suffered for all your diseases instead of you. He has already crucified all your sicknesses and diseases. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you and I are completely healed from every sickness! The Bible says so in Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2:24. This IS the will of God for you!
Do you see yourself as a totally new creation, or are you still thinking and living like the old, sin dominated person that Jesus went to the cross and gave His life to destroy? Apostle Paul said, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). This is what celebrating Resurrection Day is all about!
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!
Jesus doesn’t reign in some political system or church denomination, He is reigning in you and me! If you are born again, His peace, righteousness and joy are now a part of your life. There may be darkness all around you, but you are light because the light giver has His home within you. There may be curses all around you but you are blessed! There may be bondage all around you but you are free!
Salvation means so much more than being heaven bound and saved from eternal judgment. Yes, salvation is deliverance from sin—but that deliverance doesn’t stop there! It brings with it healing for our bodies, peace for our minds, joy in our soul, and the confident awareness that we are loved, protected and cared for beyond any human ability. This is New Creation living!
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!
Our New Creation life holds no more uncertainty about our future, or of any repercussions from our past. We live in the NOW, allowing GOD to work in us and transform us into the image of Christ. “And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image” (2 Cor 3:18 NLT).
You’ll never rise above the view you have of yourself. That little movie screen in your mind that keeps showing your mistakes and weaknesses of the past has to go, because that’s NOT who you are anymore! When you were born again and became a New Creation IN CHRIST, the old you in Adam ceased to be, and Jesus came to live in you with all His power and ability. Start finding yourself in the scriptures, then stand up and be who you really are!
When you put all the promises of God from His Word together, that is what salvation means. The blessing of God, being in Christ in the Father, living in and from Him—that’s what you have—every single one of His promises! You’ve been redeemed and restored!
In the New Testament it says, “With His stripes we are healed” (1 Peter 2:24). Must we wait for God’s good old time? No! Live all of God’s promises in the NOW! His grace has already been poured out to mankind in the new covenant, and is available to us the moment we are born again. Salvation, and everything contained in it, is waiting for us to receive it! When a sick man believes, he is healed—because it was already given to us 2,000 years ago, long before you or I were even here to need it!
