What do you see when you look in the mirror? Do you see your weaknesses, your inadequacies, your imperfections? Or, do you see what God sees? He sees you IN CHRIST—holy, blameless, free from accusation and accepted as a dearly loved child! He sees you as complete and more than a conqueror, because the conqueror lives IN YOU!
“Father God, today is my day! I see my enemy defeated, decapitated and openly paraded. Father, Your army, Your Son, the host of angels, have defeated my enemy and I believe Your Word. Today I expect that the strength of Your healing power, Your promises, Your grace, Your love, Your might and your deliverance is being extended to me. Today I receive my healing and my deliverance! I say in the name of Jesus, I am free and I am made whole!”
Believe in yourself! You can’t be truly effective in the world until you gain an understanding of how much God loves and values you. Look in the mirror and tell the person you see that in God’s eyes you are a winner and an overcomer. Not because of any abilities or skills on your part, but because when you accepted Christ, He came to live in you and brought all of His love and ability with Him!
At the cross Jesus disarmed the devil! He disarmed the power of sickness and disease! He disarmed the power of fear and the power of sin! He completely removed the judgments of sin that were against us and cleared away our enemies. We are free! (Zeph. 3:15)
What is the fight of faith? It is continually directing my mind to believe what scripture says rather than focusing on what I’m feeling, hearing or seeing around me. It’s identifying with New Creation reality instead of the law of sin and death, and holding onto God’s Word when all else looks otherwise!
The power in the Word of God is the same power that God used when He spoke this world into existence! When we speak it, it is the power of God in our mouths and it changes everything around us and in us!
The most influential voice in your life is the one on the inside of you. It either affirms that you can do great things in life, or it whines that you’re in one way or another a victim of circumstance. It continually echoes whatever has been fed into your life, which is why it’s so important to feed on the truth of God’s Word!
Sickness tries to bring sorrow, circumstances try to weaken your spirit. But an overflowing, abundant fruit of the Spirit who lives within you is joy! It’s an attitude that brings confidence in what God has already done for us. Never overlook or underestimate the attitude of joy and its value in your life!
You are destined for success! But to get there, you have to put off your old thought life and put on the thought life of a new creation. Your old way of thinking is who you were in Adam, and is what most people are accustomed to because that has always been their reality. But you, as a New Creation in Christ, have a DIFFERENT reality that has is based on what GOD says, NOT what the world or past experience says. The world thinks, “this is the way it is, therefore this is the way it will always be.” No! You’re a NEW Creation! Get in the Word and bring your thinking up to KINGDOM reality!
Is there any sickness in the image of Jesus we see from His Word? Jesus took all of our sickness upon His body years ago, and then He rose from the dead. And when He rose from the dead, He was signifying that every form of sickness and disease had been dealt with and was taken care of. Now, you and I today can come into His presence. And in His presence there is no sickness, just fullness of joy!
