Don’t waste your precious gift of speech by declaring that you’re in agreement with evil, failure, depression, sickness, or fear. Regardless of how bad circumstances may look in the natural, you don’t need to go along with them, because you know and believe that you have a source that cannot be touched by man!
Each of us are alive for a period of time on this earth, but it does NOT have to be a life controlled by germs and viruses and filled with sickness and disease. It can be a life of victory, where we are living the abundant life of health and healing and peace that God has provided for us!
Jesus went about destroying all of the works of the devil, and has made us a royal priesthood, a new creation! Jesus has now given US authority over the devil…the only power he has is whatever we hand over to him.
It doesn’t matter how bad your past is. You might say your sins are as dark as mud, but even a glass of mud will become drinkable if you keep pouring clean, fresh water into it. A field of weeds will produce wheat if you start putting new seeds into the soil!
I believe one of the ways God shows us His desire to love us is through His creation. The stars twinkle and say “I love you!”…the birds singing every morning when we wake up are a song from our Father in heaven telling us, “I love you!” The rays of the moon shining out from behind the clouds on a cloudy night I believe are saying to us, God your Father in heaven loves you!
The apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:13, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” It is very important that we have our armor on, because now more than ever we must remember that we do not fight against each other; we stand against the devil—the one who has blinded people’s minds. “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
Jesus believes in us, so we should believe in ourselves. We should not be nervous, worried, or doubtful of His willingness to get to us all that He has already provided!
Scripture tells us in Luke 9:1-2 that “he called his twelve disciples together and he gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” That power and authority was never withdrawn! What an opportunity each one of us has been given!
The Apostle Paul made it clear when he said that we do not receive what God sows, or what others sow—we only receive what we sow, or say, about ourselves. What the Bible says is still true: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21). Our future is as far away as our tongue!
There is no reason for us to lay down and be afraid in these times in which we’re living! There is no reason for us to allow the devil to torment us with fear, because the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 1:7 that God has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind—and THAT is the truth!
