In order for God to work with us we are going to have to cooperate with Him. If we want to receive total victory and deliverance, it’s not enough to simply KNOW that God knows and understands and cares. We must go on from there and DO what His Word says! Cast ALL of our anxieties, ALL of our worries and ALL of our concerns upon Him, for He cares for us! (1 Peter 5:7)
Jesus has removed the judgements against us and has cleared away our enemies (Zeph. 3:15). Now our mission is to cooperate with Him in transforming us, by changing our old man thinking habits into new creation thinking! This is how we begin to live this new life He has purchased for us, and actively walk as agents of the authority we’ve been given!
Jesus doesn’t reign in some political system or church denomination, He is reigning in you and me! If you are born again, His peace, righteousness and joy are now a part of your life. There may be darkness all around you, but you are light because the light giver has His home within you. There may be curses all around you but you are blessed! There may be bondage all around you but you are free!
You have the name of JESUS, and every demonic entity and work MUST bow to that name. Don’t get involved in dialogs and methods! When you get this clearly fixed in your thinking, these things will bow at your command because you’re not backing down. Every foe of the plans and purposes of God—sickness, demons, lack, oppression and fear, in all their forms—is under Jesus’ feet, and YOU are the one with the dominion!
If you are born again in Christ, the ministry of healing is your job. It’s not an option, a movement, a special anointing, a gift of the Holy Spirit or a “special calling” for certain special saints. It is our JOB—a responsibility, an employment, assignment, profession, task, work—our duty. We are to look at healing with the expectation that we are doing our job when we speak, and Jesus is doing His job to bring healing to the hurting, because He paid for it!
Jesus took our shame, guilt and inferiority and replaced it with His righteousness, position and power before God. Protect your self-esteem, because it will surely be tested and bruised. Preserve your value, for the empty crowd will try to trample it under the boots of their insecurities. Find your health and wholeness by enjoying the New Creation life of Christ that He has invited you to enjoy with Him!
Salvation means so much more than being heaven bound and saved from eternal judgment. Yes, salvation is deliverance from sin—but that deliverance doesn’t stop there! It brings with it healing for our bodies, peace for our minds, joy in our soul, and the confident awareness that we are loved, protected and cared for beyond any human ability. This is New Creation living!
When you speak what God says, meditating on the verses and allowing the Lord to write them on your heart, the power of His Word works in you and through you to push out the wrong thinking habits of the old man. Eventually there’s no old man left, and you’re living and walking in the real, New Creation you!
Our New Creation life holds no more uncertainty about our future, or of any repercussions from our past. We live in the NOW, allowing GOD to work in us and transform us into the image of Christ. “And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image” (2 Cor 3:18 NLT).
You’ll never rise above the view you have of yourself. That little movie screen in your mind that keeps showing your mistakes and weaknesses of the past has to go, because that’s NOT who you are anymore! When you were born again and became a New Creation IN CHRIST, the old you in Adam ceased to be, and Jesus came to live in you with all His power and ability. Start finding yourself in the scriptures, then stand up and be who you really are!
