When you were born again, Jesus took your sin and gave you a clean start. He took your sicknesses and gave you a sound body. He took your pains and gave you relief. Don’t continue to carry things that don’t belong to you anymore!

It’s interesting that in the four Gospels the writers didn’t talk about Jesus’ appearance—His features, the color of His eyes or skin, His muscles, His height, His posture, or His hair. Modern writers focus on these things, but the Gospels are different. They are focused on His words and His wonders! Regardless of what we look like, Jesus is to be our model in love, compassion, response, action, authority, wisdom, purpose and power!

In the face of storms, Jesus spoke peace and all became calm. In the face of taxes, He said to go fishing and gold was found. In the face of lack, He spoke blessing over bread and multiplication occurred. In the face of devils, He spoke a word and they were cast out. In the face of corrupt governments, He remained steady while they trembled in His presence. We are called to walk in His likeness!

What is the world looking for? The world wants some hope. The world wants some dignity. They say, ”Recognize me! Believe in me! I am important! I am valuable to somebody!” Well, I have good news for the world—God loves and values you and believes you are important—so important that He has an amazing plan for your life!

Sense knowledge is not absolute truth, our senses are simply interpreters of what is happening in the natural. The Word of God has already issued judgment on the curse and everything that comes from it—sickness, lack, oppression, depression and the negativity that tries to steal our joy in life.  Our commitment must be to believe what God says instead of what our senses are telling us. Stop accepting those deliveries from the devil!

Matthew 7:11 says, “If you then being evil know how to give goods unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask Him?” Not only is God NOT using sickness, disease and lack as a tool to make us learn something, He clearly tells us that He has a great desire to answer our prayers and to meet our needs!

Believe that you have what you asked for when you prayed, thanking and praising God for it NOW, not waiting until you see it. Faith always blows the ram’s horn BEFORE, not after the walls come down!

If we would get God’s perspective on people then we could win the world. Without God’s perspective we look at people through eyes of judgement. We like to hold the books and keep records of who is a sinner and who is a saint. But how much did God pay for those sinners? The price of His Son Jesus! How much did He pay for the saints? The same! God places no difference in worth between the mafia boss and the evangelist. They are both called by God, one just doesn’t realize it. When we truly understand this, we will be motivated to tell them!

People wonder why God isn’t moving, and He’s wondering why people aren’t moving. Jesus’ part is done and His job complete. God has given us the power to do what He does. It is a power over sickness and over devils. It’s no longer a matter of what He is going to do, but rather, what are WE going to do?

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!
