Jesus was God, but He put off His God rights and did nothing on earth that a human could not do. He clothed Himself in humanity to be our model. This limitless life is what He is encouraging you and me to experience now when He tells us, “All things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
If you make a habit of focusing on the physical evidence in your body or the appearance of the circumstances around you, more than on what the Word of God says, your life will reflect the reality and the results of that pattern of believing!
There is a place where sickness cannot stay, and you are equipped with more than enough to answer every need of every good work. There is a place where peace, dignity and love rule in your daily walk. When you call on Jesus He comes to live in you—and He makes YOU the place where all things are possible!
Many people believe in Jesus but are scared of the devil. I am not afraid of the devil because God lives in me! I am saved! I am healed! I have been delivered! I have been set free! The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead NOW LIVES IN ME!
What is the fight of faith? It is continually directing my mind to think and speak like scripture says, rather than focusing on the circumstances. It’s identifying with God’s ideas more than my own, and holding onto HIS Word when outward appearances look otherwise!
We need to put God’s Word in our hearts, because His Word is His will for us. Once you write His Word and His will on your heart it will be a joy for you to pray, because you’ll know when your petition is according to His will!
Jeremiah said to God, “I can’t because I’m too young.” Isaiah said, “I can’t because I am a man of unclean lips.” David said, “I can’t because what are humans before you?” Jesus was different. He said, I am and I can. “I am from my Father and as my Father works so I work” (John 5:17). He has given us a new way of thinking about ourselves!
John 1:14 tells us that Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh. What does that mean for you and me? That means His Word is actually He Himself being released into the atmosphere around us. When we speak His words, He is filling our midst with His presence!
God never changes but our perception of Him does. You can limit Him to the size of your religion, your problem, or your bank account—OR you can also allow Him to be Almighty God! He is the creator of the universe! Invite Him into your daily decisions. Proverbs 3:5 tells us that when we trust God and acknowledge Him in all our ways, He will direct our paths!
In 1 Peter 5 the devil is called the adversary and is compared to a roaring lion. The devil threatens, the devil growls and tries to scare you, but he has no power—he can only attempt to intimidate you and silence your voice in the world!
