Faith is a force that operates apart from the reality of our circumstances. Your present reality may be saying you are out of money, you are sick, you are unemployed, your children are lost—but faith operates in the reality of what GOD says about the situation!
Where do we find the power of God? It is NOT something outside of us that we have to cry and beg to receive; the power of God is living on the inside of us through His Son, Jesus Christ!
What does the world need? They need a revelation of the Father from John 3:16, “For God so loved the world.” Do you truly understand how powerful that is, or have you just skimmed over the surface of it? Has it simply been a recitation, or do you realize that this love broke the power of every demonic power that exists?
This is the Church’s finest hour! If Jesus is alive as we proclaim, then He has the power to change men and answer prayer. He has the power to establish nations and create peace. He has the power to produce wealth and heal the sick. Where is that power? IT IS IN US!
The Spirit and power dwelling in us raised Christ from the dead! What does that mean for us? “…if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODIES through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11)!
God believes in us and has entrusted us with His Gospel. He believes we can communicate to the world, and He believes we have the stuff to overcome all obstacles and devils! Do YOU believe it?
Every week most of you go to work believing your employers will honor their promise to pay you. You don’t question it, but rather plan what you are going to do with the promised income. Do the promises of God and what He says is already yours hold the same reality and expectation for you?
If we don’t learn to see through the eyes of our faith we will only see our need. Faith doesn’t look at the need, faith looks at the seed of God’s Word as the supply for every situation!
When you start comparing sicknesses saying, “Well, that’s just a runny nose, but THIS is cancer!” what you’re really saying is that Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t powerful enough to overcome ALL sickness and disease. Stop looking through your natural eyes and look through the eyes of faith! It is the same GRACE that covers us all!
It’s easy to forget the source of your water when all you see is the pipe. The key to a constant flow of healing is a focus on the presence of Jesus the Healer!
