There is a place in Christ where you lack nothing. That place may surprise you—it may appear to be a lifeless, famine field! Your faith and actions make the difference in how your environment responds to you!
Jesus destroyed our spiritual enemy! Now our mission is to allow the Word of God to renew our minds and transform us, so we can effectively walk in this life He has purchased for us and be agents of the authority we have been given!
If you are born again you are IN Christ and He is in you! He took away everything you had in Adam, and gave you everything that He had, including the dominion and authority Adam lost to Satan. This includes dominion over sickness, disease, lack and fear—Jesus has given you a brand new identity!
Scripture tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that God has plans to prosper you. He has planned for your health and your future. There is a destiny that is before you so believe it! And don’t stop there—expect it, plan for it, dream it, speak it out loud!
Have you seen the cross of Jesus Christ? Have you recognized the fatal blow it delivered to the devil’s authority over you? Are you experiencing the resurrection power of God now available to you in forgiveness, deliverance, health and every area of your life?
You should never be too busy to say goodbye to your old self with its past habits, thought patterns, and mistakes of yesterday, and hello to all you have been given in your resurrected life in Christ. “You have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator” (Colossians 3:9-10 HCSB).
One of the names of God is Jehovah Jireh, translated “the Lord will provide.” God is revealing Himself to us as the Lord Who will provide. In other words, He wants us to remember that He is our source, and that He provided the covenant sacrifice that paid the price for our sins. We have a hope, a future, and an expectation that God will work on our behalf!
Ephesians 1:6 says that we are seated together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. That’s not a future promise, it’s a present reality that will help you greatly as you navigate the tribulations on this earth. Our position in Christ is secure, because we’re not sitting next to Him, we are positioned IN Him, and He is IN us! When we understand this and look at ourselves from His perspective, we will rise above the mountains and the enemies before us!
Satan told Eve that eating of the fruit of the tree would make them like God, knowing good and evil. When we read in the book of Genesis we discover that as God created, each act of creation was followed by His decreeing that “it was GOOD.” God never intended for us to know evil, He intended us to enjoy the blessing and the goodness of all that He had created for us. It was Satan who desired that we experience evil, but Jesus has restored the blessing and our dominion to us!
God wants to know you more than you have ever desired to know Him—He has given His all for you! You are a child of His great love, and there is nothing you can do to receive His blessing. He has done it all!
