Access Your Spiritual Title Deed
One of the foundational elements that we need to stand firm in faith is an understanding of our spiritual legal rights. Without this revelation knowledge it is difficult to take ownership of God’s promises and confidently believe.
Many people are suffering from broken marriages, financial difficulties and incurable sicknesses and disease. They desire a miraculous touch from God and do not understand why it is not happening. They have not been taught that they possess a title deed called “faith” that gives them covenant rights with the Father to make their hopes a reality.
One time, after ministering the Word of God at a faith and healing conference, I went to minister healing to the sick. I was presented to a woman who had been bound to a wheelchair for many years. She was bitter and angry with everyone, but mostly at God. Her marriage was in ruins. Her dream to be a mother was stolen from her. Her financial situation looked impossible. And she lost her desire to live.
As i went to lay my hand on her, she screamed out with all her might, “When God?” I knelt down and looked her in the eye and said, “God is not withholding your miracle from you. This tragedy in your life is not of God, but of satan. Right now, we are going to take our authority over satan and all of his wicked works and release God’s healing power into your body. Ten, we are going to put our faith in action, and you will walk again.
How could I be so sure that God was going to heal this woman? Because I know God, and His Word says in 1 John 3:8b about Jesus, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil,” and Hebrews 13:20 speaks of the everlasting covenant we have with the Father: “Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dad, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.”
This everlasting covenant we have with our heavenly Fater is our title deed that states in 1 John 5:14-15, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”
A title deed is a legal document that has been signed, sealed and delivered tat lawfully transfers property to a new owner and verifies that person’s legal right to possess it.
Hebrews 11:1, in the Amplified Bible, says, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” Faith is our title deed; we are the rightful owners of those things we are hoping for.
What is it that we are hoping for? Are we hoping for physical healing? our title deed states in Jeremiha 30:17a, “For I will restore health to you, and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord.” Are we hoping for a restored marriage? It is written in Matthew 19:26, “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Are we hoping for a better job that can support the needs of our family? Philippians 4:19 promises us, “And my God shall supply all tor need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
The woman who was bound to a wheelchair, whose marriage was in ruins, whose dream to have a child was lost, was in need of a title deed called “faith” in order to make her hopes a reality.
She received this free title deed and now walks; her marriage is restored: she has given birth to a child; and her financial situation is better than it was before.
We too need a title deed that gives us the legal right to possess our hopes; trust in God’s goodness and grace to honor His Word is our title deed of faith. Will you access your spiritual legal rights to possess you hopes and dreams?
