There are two things essential to humankind’s sense of well-being. First, we must feel secure, and second, we need to feel significant. Our security is tied to our relationship with Jesus, while our significance is tied to our impact on our world. When we realize that there are people who God has prepared for us to speak to, and that every life is important to Him, then our value is enhanced. What we do has an eternal impact!
The thing standing between God and humanity was sin, and God removed that sin by laying it all upon Jesus. Now the devil has nothing in you, just as he had nothing in Jesus. The sin problem is fixed and your enemies have been cleared away (Zeph. 3:15). Now Jesus’ life is your life, His purpose is your purpose, His redemption is your redemption, and His resurrection is your resurrection!
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!
We should never be skeptical of realizing the great promises we see in God’s Word, but must respond to them with a YES, even if we haven’t seen them happen yet. We’re not trying to be confident in our own ability, but rather in HIS ability to move and work through us!
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!
You are made in the image and likeness of God. What type of life does that produce? It’s a life full of adventure and expectation of new things every day. The resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s fearless and enthusiastic, greeting God with a childlike, “What’s next, Papa?”
Jesus has removed the judgements against us and has cleared away our enemies (Zeph. 3:15). Now our mission is to cooperate with Him in transforming us, by changing our old man thinking habits into new creation thinking! This is how we begin to live this new life He has purchased for us, and actively walk as agents of the authority we’ve been given!
You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!
If you are born again in Christ, the ministry of healing is your job. It’s not an option, a movement, a special anointing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or a “special calling” for certain special saints. It is our JOB—a responsibility, an employment, assignment, profession, task, work—our duty. We are to look at healing with the expectation that we are doing our job when we speak, and Jesus is doing His job to bring healing to the hurting, because He paid for it!
As you begin this week, remember the wonderful things that God has done for you. Every one of us who are born again have “super” living in our natural! The supernatural is Christ indwelling our natural flesh, making ALL things possible!
