If you are born again, the abundant life in Christ has already been given to you. God has already done it! There’s nothing you have to “get” because you already have it—but if you don’t know what you have, the enemy will continue stealing the fruit of it from you. This is why it’s so important to read your Bible! Once you learn what belongs to you—you can believe it by faith, speak it out and stand strong in it. It WILL come!
We should never be skeptical of realizing the great promises we see in God’s Word, but must respond to them with a YES, even if we haven’t seen them happen yet. We’re not trying to be confident in our own ability, but rather in HIS ability to move and work through us!
Jesus has removed the judgements against us and has cleared away our enemies (Zeph. 3:15). Now our mission is to cooperate with Him in transforming us, by changing our old man thinking habits into new creation thinking! This is how we begin to live this new life He has purchased for us, and actively walk as agents of the authority we’ve been given!
You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!
Jesus took our shame, guilt and inferiority and replaced it with His righteousness, position and power before God. Protect your self-esteem, because it will surely be tested and bruised. Preserve your value, for the empty crowd will try to trample it under the boots of their insecurities. Find your health and wholeness by enjoying the New Creation life of Christ that He has invited you to enjoy with Him!
As you begin this week, remember the wonderful things that God has done for you. Every one of us who are born again have “super” living in our natural! The supernatural is Christ indwelling our natural flesh, making ALL things possible!
When you speak what God says, meditating on the verses and allowing the Lord to write them on your heart, the power of His Word works in you and through you to push out the wrong thinking habits of the old man. Eventually there’s no old man left, and you’re living and walking in the real, New Creation you!
Jesus took ALL the punishment necessary to secure your peace. All your sin, the evil, the sickness, the disease, the mental anguish—it all went upon Him. That means there is NOTHING in this earth that comes from the devil—sickness, disease, evil, oppression, poverty, bondage—that Jesus hasn’t already borne upon Himself and taken care of for you. Don’t let the devil deceive you into paying a bill that’s already been paid!
You’ll never rise above the view you have of yourself. That little movie screen in your mind that keeps showing your mistakes and weaknesses of the past has to go, because that’s NOT who you are anymore! When you were born again and became a New Creation IN CHRIST, the old you in Adam ceased to be, and Jesus came to live in you with all His power and ability. Start finding yourself in the scriptures, then stand up and be who you really are!
The reason some fail to receive what God has already given to them is because they’re believing what they see, hear and feel, instead of believing what God has told them in His Word. The sense realm is where the devil operates. God’s Word is spirit and TRUTH! “So, we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Cor. 4:18 HCSB).
