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!
What are you expecting from God? If you’ve experienced a major financial setback, then you must, against hope, believe in God’s promise to supply all your needs (Phil. 4:19). Or if you’ve received a serious diagnosis, then you take the promise of God that say you were healed by the stripes of Jesus (Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:24) and other healing scriptures, and you meditate on them until they become more REAL to you than whatever the report says. You begin to hope—to expect—that you ARE healed and your symptoms are leaving, NOW. You expect that, because God sent His Word and healed you, and delivered you from every one of your destructions. These are is His promises to us TODAY!
What makes us unique in all of creation is our ability to speak. Words are the raw material of the universe. God created the world by speaking it into existence, and we continue His work in the earth by speaking His Words!
If you’ve been in a situation that has been ongoing to the place where you’re finding it a challenge to keep believing and declaring God’s promises, remember this: the God of the universe, our FATHER, has given us His Word and declared to us, “THIS IS TRUTH.” That means that what He says is REAL. His Word, His truth, is REALITY. The enemy and the world continually come at us with the same, “has God really said?” lie used on Adam and Eve. “Can you really trust God? Are you seeing it in your life? It must not be real!” So ask yourself, whose “real” are you connecting with? When you take the promises of God and become fully persuaded that what HE says is truth, regardless of what you may be feeling or experiencing in the now—they will become your REALITY!
Those things that have limited you in your body, your background or your relationships may have made you believe that your future is limited. But I want you to know that God’s Word is absolutely true, so if Jesus is your Lord, the reality is that your future has NO LIMITS!
