The only way we can build our expectations upon something other than personal experiences is through exposing our hearts and minds to the “great and precious promises” of God, and believing them to be ours! (2 Peter 1:4)

Sickness, disease and all types of infirmity are rebellious to the truth that your body is the temple of God. But those infirmities can be dealt with, because there is an authority higher than they are—the name of Jesus! Sickness is an enemy every bit as much as the devil is, and as a Christ-filled believer who is one spirit with Him, you have the absolute authority to not just cast it out, but to live in divine health!

Are you a beggar or are you a believer? Have you grasped that 2,000 years ago at the cross there was a change in eternity? When Jesus said “it is finished,” the old was over and gone, and the NEW was made alive and active! The penalties for sin—for your healing and your freedom from every kind of infirmity and oppression, was paid for and removed for eternity!

Jesus walked the earth as a man, born of God without a sin nature. That meant the devil had absolutely no ability to touch Him, because sin was what was holding mankind under his slavery. When Jesus destroyed the works of the devil against us by paying the price for our sin, we became as He was in the earth—free from sin! Forgiven and made righteous! Healed, delivered and blameless in the Father’s sight! IT IS FINISHED!

People wonder, who IS God?? God is APPROACHABLE, PERSONABLE, FORGIVING, KIND, COMPASSIONATE, HEALING, LOVING, UNCHANGING, DEPENDABLE, JOYFUL, PATIENT—and this is just the tip of who our wonderful GOD is. He is in your corner and FOR you! Allow Him to be and do everything He desires to in your life!

If you’re feeling like a captive on a boat that’s being upended because of someone else’s decisions or actions, don’t give in to anger and fear! Remember, if you’re born again then Jesus is not only with you on the boat, He lives in you! You possess His ability to remain in love, and in His name you can speak peace to those storms!

“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him” (John 14:7). Jesus healed, Jesus delivered, Jesus taught, Jesus loved, because Jesus IS love. Hebrews 1:3 tells us that Jesus is the exact representation of the Father’s nature. When you see Jesus in the Word, you’re seeing the Father’s heart. And when you understand the nature and character of God, and His love for mankind, you will always have the right doctrine!

The name of the game is NO FEAR HERE! Allow God to breathe His life and whisper His wisdom into your heart. Commune with Him to pick up on His signals. He has direction for you in the midst of even the most difficult times!

It cost God the blood of His Son Jesus to redeem us. Jesus bought us back to God at the price of His own blood—so no devil, person or feeling can ever say we are not righteous! Our penalty was not ignored or winked at—it was completely paid for and totally removed—for eternity!

Every time a leader in this world tries to play the role of God, it ends up in defeat. True greatness is NOT achieved by reducing other people to servitude, but in giving of yourself in selfless service to others!
