Humanity alone was created in the image of God. Only humanity was given the right and the ability and the authority to walk with the living God, to speak words as He spoke, to create as He created, and to live as He lived on the earth. The desire of every human heart should be to manifest each day the reality of the blessing and privilege we walk in!

In Jeremiah 29:11 God says that He has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you. Expect it! Plan for it! Dream it! Say it! Believe it and it will unfold before you!

There is no special theological degree required to lay your hands on the sick and see them recover. You can trust God’s Word! Just take the opportunities the Lord gives you—the rest is up to Him!

Never underestimate the importance of your personal testimony, no matter how insignificant it may seem. The potential of your words in a heart that is ready to receive it is as explosive as one little match in a mountain of dry wood!

We should be speaking the Word of God out loud! Why? As we hear what we are saying we are increasing in faith and in strength, and can now resist whatever attack is trying to come against us!

If you haven’t yet developed the habit of taking the “medicine” of God’s Word for health, life, and resisting sickness and disease, you can start today! And when you do, you’ll discover that down the road you’ll be able to walk through the midst any epidemic with no fear!

A ship that remains tied to the dock will eventually be overrun with barnacles and dry rot, a plane that sits idle in the hangar will grow brittle, moldy and its engine will cease to function, and a person without a purpose greater than themselves will weaken in resolve and retire in heart. We must not shrink from the opportunities before us!

The devil doesn’t have any power! He only has the ability to try to focus our attention on a thought or some temporary situation or report, in an attempt to twist and pervert the truth of God’s Word that God has already given to us. Deception is powerless against those who make it their business to learn the truth!

There is a deep peace in knowing that your past is cleansed, forgiven, and redeemed; and an even greater peace knowing your future is secure. Then there’s a third peace in the promise of His presence in our daily lives. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to be with us. This is the many-faceted peace that is only found in Him!

Remember, the Bible does NOT say that we are to stand against the power or the strength of the devil. The Bible says in Ephesians 6:11 that we are to stand against the tricks and schemes of the devil. Why? Because deception is his only weapon against us!
