One of the names of God is Jehovah Jireh, translated “the Lord will provide.” God is revealing Himself to us as the Lord Who will provide. In other words, He wants us to remember that He is our source, and that He provided the covenant sacrifice that paid the price for our sins. We have a hope, a future, and an expectation that God will work on our behalf!
Many people fail to receive what they pray for because of lack of understanding about confession. The word confession in the Greek language means “saying the same thing.” This means we are to believe and say only what God says in His Word about our sins, sicknesses and everything else included in our redemption. When we affirm what God says about it, He watches over it to make it good!
Jesus gave Peter power to walk on water, but the devil stole it away by getting him to fix his attention on the wind (representing things we feel) and on the waves (representing things we see). Peter had the power and used it, but then lost it by doubting. If we will keep our focus continually on Jesus, we will walk in the miraculous!
We are now seated at the right hand of God, permanently in the presence of God! It’s NOT something that we have to atone for or “measure up” to be there! Our sins were wiped out permanently! We must believe what we see in the Word of God that says we are raised up above all sickness, disease, poverty, lack, fear, weakness, every diagnosis and anything that would come against us!
Scripture says in Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say rejoice!” These are victory keys! Take any unbelief, expose it and bring it before God. It’s real and it’s attacking your mind. And then give glory to God, rejoicing in what belongs to us in the name of Jesus. And your faith shall be made strong!
The devil and his world system cannot hold back what God has promised for His children! Your part is to start each day with fresh expectation, believing and focusing on what God’s Word has promised to you as His dearly loved child!
Many times it’s not that we need more faith, it’s that we need to recognize when unbelief is standing between us and the promise of God. This is when we put the Word of God in our mouths and say, “All things are possible for the one who believes (Mark 9:23)! And I believe, so doubt, you move out of my way NOW in the name of Jesus!”
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!
Jesus is still performing the miracles that He did 2,000 years ago on the shore of the Galilee through faithful believers like you and me. And, both then and now, Jesus is NOT intimidated by demons, sickness, sin, lack, or even death! He was, and continues to be, a Master over every circumstance, bringing victory into every situation!
Moses sent twelve men to spy out the land. Ten of the spies saw themselves as mere grasshoppers in the sight of the giants that lived in the land. But two of the spies had a different perspective. They saw the giants through God’s eyes and declared, “these giants are bread for us!” (Numbers 14:9 KJV). When everyone around you is talking about giants, who are you going to believe—the grasshoppers, or GOD?
