If you’re a born again believer the devil can’t kill you, but he CAN keep you a spiritual baby. How? By keeping you distracted and preoccupied with non-essential things, thoughts, and entertainment, instead of focusing your attention on what God is saying and doing. And friend, with all that’s happening in the world right now, you can’t afford to be distracted!
What are your possibilities in life and ministry? God has set no limits! Some people spend half their life trying to find the will of God, while others are wondering if they accomplished it. Jesus has made you a success; now go out and show the world!
Jesus paid the price for our sin and sickness and disease on the cross. So it’s not, “I’m GOING to be healed,” but rather, “I am ALREADY healed! Not because I feel healed or look healed, but because the Word of God is absolutely true and more powerful than however I may feel or look!”
Jesus said that if He did not do the works of His Father, then not to believe in Him (John 10:37). That is strong language that must be backed up by the supernatural hand of God. But you too can boldly say the same thing, because as the Father was with Jesus, now Jesus is with you (1John 4:17). The mission that our Father sent Jesus on is the same mission that Jesus has sent you on!
When Jairus’ daughter died while Jesus was delayed, Jairus was told by Jesus to “only believe,” that his daughter will live. Death may be final, but NOTHING is “too late” when Jesus is with you! Keeping control of our emotions is important. I believe Jesus was saying to Jairus: “Just stay open to your miracle. Do not shut down. I am bigger than any bad report!”
Regardless of how uncertain things may appear around you, it is vital that you stay strong in the face of adversity, and know that the goodness of God rests upon you! Now more than ever, take the time to grow in intimacy with Him through His Word and prayer, and experience both His love for you and His reassuring hand upon you.
Remember that regardless of how difficult the crisis is that you may be facing, DON’T GIVE UP! God WILL guide you in your everyday affairs. He is committed to you more than you could ever commit to Him!
Throughout our lives as believers, a very important message we can “preach” to those around us is the example of our lifestyle. We don’t react or breakdown under pressure, we stand on the faithfulness of God’s Word in every situation and see the deliverance of the Lord!
We may think that our boss controls our fate and our income, but that is not the case in the Kingdom of God. The seed principle God initiated at the beginning of time is still in operation. Whatever we sow we will reap. Mix the seed of diligent work with the seed of your money sown, and you will have a powerful seed combination working in God’s soil!
When we cast our cares over to the Lord in a prayer of commitment, our faith must attach to that prayer. We have decided we will NOT carry that care, and we determine to ask God for what we want! This is where the power of your prayer and your relationship with God begins to operate!
