There are times when prayer is sweet communion with the Father and Jesus. There are other times, such as the ones we’re currently experiencing, when we must bind and loose things on this earth. God is expecting US to address the mountain, not address Him about the mountain!
Part of your identification with Christ is understanding how much God loves you. Do you realize that the hairs of your head are counted (Luke 12:7)? That you are inscribed in the palms of God’s hands (Isaiah 49:16)? You’re the apple of His eye (Psalm 17:8)! Meditate on these and the many other scriptures that tell you how precious you, His masterpiece of creation, are to Him. God wants YOU to know that HE LOVES YOU!
As parents we shape the future of our children through our words. Why not shape our own future with the very words we speak? Today choose to speak words of life and healing over yourself!
When we know and understand our exalted position, seated in heavenly places in Christ, we will identify more with the Christ who walked out of the tomb than with the Christ who died on the Cross!
When we are aware of our position as seated with Christ in the heavenlies, we are no longer looking upward for help. We direct our words and authority downward toward those “mountains” on earth that are below us. A change of perspective can change our results!
Matthew 7:11 says, “If you then being evil know how to give goods unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask Him?” Not only is God NOT the author of sickness and disease, not only is God NOT using sickness as the tool in His hand, but He clearly tells us that He has a great desire to answer our prayers and to meet our needs!
Many people believe in Jesus but are scared of the devil. If you are born again, the devil should be afraid of you! Why? The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead NOW LIVES IN YOU! You are saved—you are healed—you have been delivered! You have been set free to walk in the same power and authority that Jesus did in the earth!
We’re living in a day when all we’re hearing from the world is talk of what we don’t have, used to have, would like to have or should have. In the midst of this “lack-speak,” It’s very important to take stock of what you DO have. If you are a child of God, then you know you have Jesus Christ living in you, which means ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
Jesus will walk with you and give you the hope you need. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”
The unsaved world is not interested in our sermons, but they ARE interested in a Christ who will get involved in their individual lives. Introduce them to that Jesus!
