Sense knowledge is not absolute truth, our senses are simply interpreters of what is happening in the natural. The Word of God has already issued judgment on the curse and everything that comes from it—sickness, lack, oppression, depression and the negativity that tries to steal our joy in life.  Our commitment must be to believe what God says instead of what our senses are telling us. Stop accepting those deliveries from the devil!

We may see the multitudes of people in the world in many ways. Some of those ways can make us want to condemn them, but Jesus always sees people as a beautiful, precious harvest, ready to be gathered. A harvest has several characteristics: it is valuable, it must be gathered or it will be lost, and it is URGENT. Time moves quickly and then the opportunity is gone.  “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4).

Persist in your God-given dreams and desires, because resistance to your dreams is as normal as gravity is to our atmosphere. It holds everything down, but it doesn’t stop us from flying!

Believe that you have what you asked for when you prayed, thanking and praising God for it NOW, not waiting until you see it. Faith always blows the ram’s horn BEFORE, not after the walls come down!

If we would get God’s perspective on people then we could win the world. Without God’s perspective we look at people through eyes of judgement. We like to hold the books and keep records of who is a sinner and who is a saint. But how much did God pay for those sinners? The price of His Son Jesus! How much did He pay for the saints? The same! God places no difference in worth between the mafia boss and the evangelist. They are both called by God, one just doesn’t realize it. When we truly understand this, we will be motivated to tell them!

Until we are willing to give the kind of time and attention to God’s Word that produces change in our thinking, we’ll continue to be swayed by our feelings and the things we see and hear. All the devil heard from the lips of Jesus when tempting Him was “It is written,” and he was powerless against Him. Whose report are you going to believe, the devil’s lies or the report of the Lord?

People wonder why God isn’t moving, and He’s wondering why people aren’t moving. Jesus’ part is done and His job complete. God has given us the power to do what He does. It is a power over sickness and over devils. It’s no longer a matter of what He is going to do, but rather, what are WE going to do?

The same Holy Spirit, with the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, also indwells you as a believer. What does that mean for you? It means the very light and life of God resides in you—giving His life to your spirit, soul and your body too (Romans 8:11). It means there is no longer anything in you that belongs to the devil. (Colossians 1:13) It means all the authority and power that Jesus walked in on the earth now dwells in you to do the works that He did (John 14:12). What is your part? Enter into the rest of faith and receive it all as a gift of His grace to you. Stay connected to the power source, and you’ll be a walking light bulb everywhere you go!

We are equipped with the indwelling Spirit of God to focus on solutions, not problems. We are equipped to speak what we want, not what might be currently happening. We are equipped to experience joy in the expectation of answers, rather than the stress of waiting for them!

Don’t fall into the comparison trap! It restricts you and can hold you prisoner in a very small cell. When you stop comparing yourself to others you set yourself free to become truly exceptional!
