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!”
Believe in yourself! You can’t be effective in the world until you can be good to yourself. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that you are precious and valuable to God. You can’t truly love others with God’s love until you love yourself!
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!
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.
Dead religion and sin consciousness have created an inferiority complex in people, but God loves you and has no intention of putting you down. His great plan is to lift you up out of condemnation and give you a purpose!
What do you do when the devil comes to offer you a reality that is not in God’s Word? You respond with the TRUTH of God’s Word and declare, “IT IS WRITTEN!” When Jesus spoke, sickness, disease, poverty and affliction would flee. You and I have the same authority as Jesus. When we speak, things happen!
The strongest voice in your life is the voice on the inside of you. It either tells you that you can do great things in life, or it whines that you’re a victim of circumstances that you can’t change. It speaks whatever has been fed into your life, which is why it’s so important to feed on God’s Word!
Miracles are the result of preaching the TRUTH. People today ask, “what is truth?” Truth is GOD’S IDEA on the subject! And when that truth is carried on words of faith, it brings the supernatural result people are looking for!
The Bible says that Jesus took our diseases and infirmities upon Himself (Isaiah 53; 1Peter 2:24). So, when I look at Jesus, I can say, “Yes! You have ALREADY taken my diseases and sicknesses upon Yourself and bore them AWAY! And since you did this before I was ever born, it means I am already healed NOW—regardless of what my body may say—and I refuse to let the devil steal it from me!”
Jesus told us to go into all the world as His representatives. Where you go, He goes. Even as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). That doesn’t mean that you’re Jesus, it means you represent His power. If you can’t present His power, then all you’re giving the world is another philosophy!
