What are you expecting from God? If you’ve experienced a major financial setback, then you must, against hope, believe in God’s promise to supply all your needs (Phil. 4:19). Or if you’ve received a serious diagnosis, then you take the promise of God that say you were healed by the stripes of Jesus (Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:24) and other healing scriptures, and you meditate on them until they become more REAL to you than whatever the report says. You begin to hope—to expect—that you ARE healed and your symptoms are leaving, NOW. You expect that, because God sent His Word and healed you, and delivered you from every one of your destructions. These are is His promises to us TODAY!
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!
If you’ve been in a situation that has been ongoing to the place where you’re finding it a challenge to keep believing and declaring God’s promises, remember this: the God of the universe, our FATHER, has given us His Word and declared to us, “THIS IS TRUTH.” That means that what He says is REAL. His Word, His truth, is REALITY. The enemy and the world continually come at us with the same, “has God really said?” lie used on Adam and Eve. “Can you really trust God? Are you seeing it in your life? It must not be real!” So ask yourself, whose “real” are you connecting with? When you take the promises of God and become fully persuaded that what HE says is truth, regardless of what you may be feeling or experiencing in the now—they will become your REALITY!
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!
First Peter 1:23 tells us that the seed of God, His Word, is incorruptible. So we can have confidence and expectation that when we hear the Word of God and it lands in the soil of our heart, something good is going to come forth from it! Since God’s Word is incorruptible, it cannot be changed and is a force that has the ability to transform our lives!
“Jesus, You went to the cross and took away all of my sin. You took every form of sickness and disease, and you died for me. Now I see every sin, failure, fear, and problem, every weakness, sickness, tumor, and autoimmune disease laid upon You 2,000 years ago. Lord Jesus, I know I am crucified with You, and now I live, yet not I but You are alive in me! I exchange my old life and my old body for a new life and a new body. I come out of the grave, I come forth from the tomb, and I declare I am saved, I am healed, I am delivered, and I am a child of the Living God! Thank you, Jesus, I have no fear of tomorrow, I have no fear of any diagnosis, I have no fear of failure or sin, because I am in You and You are in me!”
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!
If you are born again you are IN Christ and He is in you! He took away everything you had in Adam, and gave you everything that He had, including the dominion and authority Adam lost to Satan. This includes dominion over sickness, disease, lack and fear—Jesus has given you a brand new identity!
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?
