When we truly learn who Jesus is and what He has done both for us and in us, we discover who we really are. And when we discover who we are, we learn what are to be doing here in the earth. Mountains, obstacles, troubles and anything else that tries to hinder us from carrying out God’s plans and purposes will then be removed when we speak!
Psalm 91:16 tells us, “with long life, will I satisfy him [or her], and show them My salvation.” With long life, God will satisfy us! We are new creations in Christ who have been redeemed from the curse and all that comes with it (Gal. 3:13). Genetics and family history no longer dictate our destiny—we have access to a different DNA, the NEW spiritual DNA that we have inherited from the bloodline of Jesus!
Is a life of faith a hard, troubling walk of sorrows? Are we to just hold on and wait for it to be better on the other side? NO! John wrote, “This is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith” (1 John 5:4 NKJV). We are to be walking in Kingdom life and demonstrating the power of God here on the earth!
If you are born again, the Spirit of God with His life-giving, regenerative power lives inside you to give life to your physical body, just as Jesus’ body was quickened by that same power and brought back from the dead! Turn up your level of expectation and start believing that the mighty power of God is flowing through you now!
If Jesus’ disciples went out healing diseases and casting out demons with the “dynamite” power of the Holy Spirit UPON them and not yet inside them as we do now, how much more do you and I now have that outworking of this dunamis, strengthening power on the inside of us to lay hands on the sick and set captives free from demons and every other influence of the enemy?
God tells us in 2 Corinthians 9 that He gives seed to the sower. What seed from God do you have that you can sow? God has given ideas and concepts to you about who He says you are, what you have been given in Christ, and what you can do. These are key seeds that you have the opportunity to sow to experience the results you want in your life!
When your body or your circumstances are speaking to you and trying to tell you that they are superior and have the upper hand, you need a revelation of the God-power Paul speaks of in Ephesians 6:10 that dwells within you; a power whose purpose is to infuse you with an excessive dose of inward strength!
“Lord Jesus, I see you upon that cross, crucified for me. My sicknesses, diseases and every infirmity were upon You on that cross. Therefore, right now I receive my new body and my recreated spirit. I receive a sound mind and every part and system of my body made completely whole. I reach out, Lord, and I take what belongs to me. I declare that by the stripes of Jesus I was healed 2,000 years ago, and because it was done for me then, I am healed NOW! I thank you Father God and I receive it in the name of Jesus!”
It’s an exciting time of year—a time of decorations, baking, lights, and of course, Christmas gifts! There is another very special aspect of this season—it’s when the angels said, “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord…Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men!” The greatest miracle gift of all is Jesus. May He be at the very center of your Christmas!
If Jesus lives in you, you have a miracle inside you! All His purpose and power is now able to grow and develop in you. This gives special meaning when we celebrate His birth at Christmas! “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
