It is so important to remember that when we are born into the kingdom of God, our spirits are recreated and we no longer possess solely a human identity; we take on Christ’s identity, a GOD identity. He who is joined with the Lord is one spirit with Him! (1 Cor 6:17)

The life of God birthed in you when you accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord is the same life that Jesus received in the tomb when He rose from the dead! The seed that resurrected Him to a new beginning, now causes a new reality of power and purpose in you as well. His work is complete—now He lives in YOU and works through YOU on the earth with His miracle life!

The world needs to know who God is—how much He loves them, what He has done and what He will do for them. Let it be a settled fact, it is God’s will to heal us. We are given healing as well as forgiveness when we believe!

When you have an encounter with Jesus Christ and surrender your life to receive Him as your Savior and Lord, it is not just an emotional experience. It was you saying YES to God’s will in the same way that Jesus’ mother Mary did. Though she didn’t understand all of the “how,” her response to God was, “May it be done to me according to your word.” When we say “yes,” the miracle-life can begin!

There is no reason for us to cower in fear during these times we’re living in!  There is no reason for us to allow the devil to torment us with fear, because the Bible tells us in 1 Timothy 1:7 that God has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. God’s Word contains everything we need to not just survive, but thrive—and THAT is the TRUTH!

Faith never judges according to sight or feelings, because faith is the evidence of things not seen but promised. Faith rests on far more solid ground than the evidence of the senses—the solid ground of the Word of God! The reality your senses are experiencing may disagree at first, but when you remain immovable on the truth of God’s Word, your experiences will change!

In the darkness of this world, we need a North Star. We need a fixed point to guide us through the night. We need something that will not change. People change, denominations change, economies change, governments and religions change—but JESUS DOES NOT CHANGE! He must be our fixed point. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. We can anchor our lives to Him and He will carry us through the night and the stormy seas!

If you have confessed Christ as your Savior, God lives IN you and nothing can separate you from Him. No sin can control you and no sickness can have authority over your life unless you permit it to. How do you stand against these things? You come to the place where you declare that regardless of what you may see, hear or feel, the Word of God is the ONLY truth in the matter, and anything to the contrary is a lie. It is how you will live, the words you will speak and the only thing you will agree with, no matter what others may have to say about it. “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32).

God has given us the sacred right of choice about our future. He’s also given us His Word and the wonderful power of faith to make our choice a reality. We can choose to fear that the economy will go down and take us with it. We can choose to fear that the doctor’s reports of cancer, heart disease, or a thousand other diagnoses are the final word. We can choose to fear tomorrow and fold up, or we can spread our wings of faith, believing and declaring that God’s Word is true and our lives will demonstrate the fruit of it! The facts of our faith put us in the realm of God. Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23)!

The wonderful truths of Christianity raise us from nobody to somebody, from simple to wise, from weak to courageous. These unmatched truths become living realities in a person when that person hears and chooses to believe them. What makes us like God and not like robots is our ability to choose!
