When you made Jesus Lord of your life, He came to live inside you, taking away your sins, sicknesses and failures, and replaced it all with HIS life. What does that mean? You’re forgiven! You’re healed! He restored the dominion and authority to you in the earth that had been lost to the devil! Now you have the ability to live your life through Him—a powerful, victorious life that sets other captives free and brings glory to God!

What makes us unique in all of creation is our ability to speak. Words are the raw material of the universe. God created the world by speaking it into existence, and we continue His work in the earth by speaking His Words!

Those things that have limited you in your body, your background or your relationships may have made you believe that your future is limited. But I want you to know that God’s Word is absolutely true, so if Jesus is your Lord, the reality is that your future has NO LIMITS!

God has deposited a vision in every heart to reach the world. When Jesus enters your life, a compassion for the rest of the world enters with Him. If you’re not feeling it, then it’s time to renew your mind to who God’s Word says you are and how much He loves you. The feelings will follow!

Jesus destroyed our spiritual enemy! Now our mission is to allow the Word of God to renew our minds and transform us, so we can effectively walk in this life He has purchased for us and be agents of the authority we have been given!

It is only when you get a revelation of who Jesus is and who you have been made to be IN Him, that you can begin to understand how you are capable of living, and what you are capable of doing for God. Revelation—it is my motivation!

Have you seen the cross of Jesus Christ? Have you recognized the fatal blow it delivered to the devil’s authority over you? Are you experiencing the resurrection power of God now available to you in forgiveness, deliverance, health and every area of your life?

Ephesians 1:6 says that we are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That’s not a future promise, it’s a present reality that will help you greatly as you navigate the tribulations on this earth. Our position in Christ is secure, because we’re not sitting next to Him, we are positioned IN Him, and He is IN us! When we understand this and look at ourselves from His perspective, we will rise above the mountains and the enemies before us!

Never underestimate the importance of your personal testimony, no matter how small 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!

I want to encourage you today to expect God to answer you when you cry out for His mercy. He’s waiting on US—He’s already done everything that He could possibly ever do! Now it’s OUR opportunity to reach out and to grab by faith this mercy that has been provided for us by the Merciful One, who has made everything we will ever need available to us today!
