Walk in His Authority

One of the weapons of our spiritual warfare that God gives to us is His authority. But how can we walk in this authority if we do not know that He gives it to us? Jesus tells us in Luke 10:19, Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.And in Isaiah 54:17 we read, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” Why? Because He gives to us all spiritual rights to walk in His authority on this earth over satan and all of his wickedness, including sickness and disease.

But just like all of His promises we have a part to play. We have to put our faith into action, and as it says in Ephesians 6:14 in the Amplified Version of the Bible, “And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.” We have to put on our spiritual shoes and be ready in season and out-of-season. And we do this when we read, study, and do what God’s Word says to do.

  • He teaches us to speak to the mountains in our lives in Mark 11:23, For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” Perhaps, your mountain is sickness, He says to speak to it with authority and tell it to leave and it will.
  • And He uses the testimony of Abraham in Romans 4:17 to admonish us to use our authority and speak to the circumstances that confront us so that they will change, “(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;”
  • He instructs us to activate our authority and put our faith into action and do what we were not able to do before, like He did with the man with the withered hand in Luke 6:10. “And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.”

Again, we realize as we study His Word, that it is our choice to activate His spiritual weapon, such as His authority and walk in it.

His Righteousness Heals Us

Oftentimes, people struggle with supernatural healing because of their past. Whether they were the culprit or the victim they do not believe that they are good enough to receive God’s blessings, including healing. And yes, if we were to stand upon our own righteousness we would never be good enough to receive His gifts. But thankfully it is not our good deeds that we stand upon to receive healing, but upon the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 53:4-5 paints a clear picture what Jesus suffers so that we can take upon His righteousness. It says, “Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.”  AMP

His blood covers all sin that we have committed or has been done against us. We do need to activate the power of His blood by asking Him to forgive us or to forgive those that have wronged us. Then we are clean and free from guilt and shame.

1 John 1:9 promises us, “If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].” AMP

And because of what Jesus suffers for us we can freely put on the breastplate of His righteousness. (See Ephesians 6:14.) And rely on His good works and not upon ours to believe and receive His healing touch.

Are You Confused About Healing?

Do you feel confused about what to believe concerning healing? Many people are unsure these days about what to believe anymore. And rightly so. When we remove the standard of God’s word, and teach from human opinion and experience instead of what God says concerning healing then yes, people will be confused about healing.

But when we choose to make God’s word our standard we eliminate doubt and confusion and give people a spiritual foundation on which to base their faith upon, so that they can believe and receive their supernatural healing from the Lord.

We are instructed in Ephesians 6:14 to gird our waist with truth. It is always our responsibility to study the word of truth and to wrap our lives within it. This will keep the contamination of false doctrine out and the security of God’s truth in.

There are many Scriptures in both the Old Testament and the New Testament that support supernatural healing, but I will give you just 3 for now to start you on your journey of truth about healing.

  • “Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken,
    smitten by God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5 NKJV
  • Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”     3 John 1:2 NKJV
  • “And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.” Luke 5:12-13 NKJV

Never Give Up

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 6: 10-20.

Are you in the midst of a raging battle? Do you feel like its time to give up?

We all face battles in this life, but some are more difficult than others. And after time, one can be tempted to give up the fight and let the enemy win. DON’T!

God has given you everything you need to win this battle. And you have fought long and hard to get this far and have done everything you know to do. But even still the enemy is unrelenting. What do you do now?

After having done everything we are encouraged in Ephesians 6:13 to stand. That’s right, stand. Don’t sit down and give into the enemy, but stand strong. Dig in your heels, be unmovable, fight the enemy to the finish, and never give up.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:13

The Benefits of Living God’s Word

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 3

We live in an age that is driven by technology. And just about any bit of information that we want to know can be found instantly on the internet. But even with all of this knowledge people are unhappy, full of fear, with their needs unmet, and sick and dying before their appointed time. Why?

The answer to this can be found in Proverbs 3:1-2, “My son, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.”

There is man’s knowledge, and then there is God’s wisdom. Man who is created by Elohim “The Father, Son and Holy Spirit” makes discoveries about God’s creation, and how to use His creation for our good. But what many refuse to acknowledge is God’s Word. And some are knowledgeable of the Bible, but do not live what it says. And this is often why many are unhappy and hurting today.

Knowledge is facts about something, whereas, wisdom is implementing, or putting into practice what you have learned. With this definition in mind, let’s take another look at what Proverbs 3:1 has to say to us.

First of all, this verse starts out by addressing to whom it is written to, “My son”, meaning to God’s children, true believers in Jesus Christ. If you want the full blessings of living God’s Word, then you need to be part of His spiritual family.

Jesus says to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, in John 3:3, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Secondly, it says in Proverbs 3:1, “do not forget My teaching,”. Let’s face it, in this fast paced world where we can download scads of information within seconds, we forget to open up the book of true knowledge, the Bible.

And thirdly, we are to “let your heart keep My commandments”. We are to hide His Word in our hearts, because according to the Word we act out what we believe. It is so important to read, study and live out God’s Word.

Three Steps to Receiving the Benefits of Living God’s Word

  1. You must be born-again.
  2. Remember, to read and study God’s Word.
  3. Live His commandments.

And if we will activate these 3 steps in our everyday lives then the following benefits will be added to us.

  • Longer life
  • Peace

Choose Forgiveness

Everyday we have opportunities to choose forgiveness. Spouses, children, friends, neighbors, colleagues, even complete strangers can hurt us. Therefore, we are faced with daily decisions to forgive, or to ask for forgiveness, or to be bitter and full of vengeance.

Unforgiveness is a weapon of satan to  destroy the offended person from the inside to the outside.  And if it is not dealt with it will turn into bitterness. The Bible says that “bitterness dries up the bones”.  (See Proverbs 17:22.) It dehydrates the flow of life from deep within the spirit, soul, and body.

The only way to be free from this is to choose the path of forgiveness. God’s Word is very clear  concerning forgiveness. It says in Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” You must choose forgiveness.

3 Steps to Forgiveness:

1. Ask the Father to forgive you for the offense you have done, or for not being willing to forgive another person for what they have done to you.

2. Forgive yourself.

3. Ask the offended to forgive you.

 

The following is a beautiful testimony of forgiveness.

A divorced man with 7 daughters was given a chance to help his daughters start to heal emotionally from years of pain that he caused them. But he struggled within himself to make the right choice. Convinced they would never believe him, he was afraid that his daughters would not accept his apology.

He also struggled to forgive himself. We shared with him the power of Jesus Christ to forgive and to release us from all unrighteousness. We gave him the opportunity to make his life right with Jesus. He accepted the offer and prayed and asked the Father to forgive him, and asked Jesus to be his Savior.

We began to explain to the man that his girls need to hear him apologize too so that they can start to heal. And without his sincere words of sorrow for the pain he has caused they would have a very difficult life. We asked him if that is what he wants for them.

With tears he asks each one of his daughters to come to him and he looks each one in the eye and asks them to forgive him. Each one falls into his arms and cries from the depths of their hearts.

This man makes the right choice and asks for forgiveness, and you can too.

Faith Operates By Love

Without love we cannot effectively release faith for the miraculous. Throughout the gospels we see that love motivates every miracle Jesus performs. He loves people, and puts the needs of others before Himself. Even when they beat, mock and crucify Him, He still loves and forgives them. And because of His unconditional love His supernatural resurrection happens and the miraculous still takes place today.

Paul teaches us in Galatians 5:6, “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” (NIV) Faith is not activated by legalism or by religious acts, but by love alone. The Amplified version of the Bible puts it this way, For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.”

Love is defined in 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.”

The Characteristics of Love Checklist:

  • Patience
  • Kindness
  • Not jealous
  • Nor prideful
  • Does not behave rudely
  • Not selfish
  • Not easily provoked
  • Thinks no evil
  • Does not rejoice in iniquity
  • Rejoices in truth
  •  It bears, believes, hopes and endures all things.
  •  Love never fails.

Examine your heart. Is there any characteristic on love’s checklist above that you need to work on? These attributes of love activate, energize, express and workout faith for the miraculous. And when you lack in the area of love your faith is weak and ineffective. So, strengthen your love today, because faith operates by love.

Can I Minister Healing Too?

Yes, you can minister healing too. In fact, the Great Commission in Mark tells us that if we believe we will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. All believers in Jesus Christ, including you can minister healing to the sick.

Mark 16:14-18 — The Great Commission

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” NKJV

Healing the Whole Person

The whole person is spirit, soul and body. The spirit is the eternal being that will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. And this is our decision alone to make. God does not desire or send anyone to hell. We send ourselves there if we reject Jesus Christ as our Savior. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.The first step to become whole is to surrender to Jesus.

The soul is the second part of our being, and it includes the mind and the emotions. Often times the physical body is sick because the soul needs healing. The ungodliness of today’s society, the selfishness of others, and even our own bad decisions cause great injury to this part of our being. God shares His desire for us in Jeremiah 30:17, “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds’, says the Lord…” Emotional wounds and physical sickness go hand in hand with one another. But by God’s grace we can learn how to forgive, let go of the past, move forward, and allow the soul to heal.

The third part of our being is the physical body. This is the part that we see every day it houses our spirit and soul. And God appoints it a time to be born and a time to die, (see Ecclesiastes 3:2). But even though it is temporal, Jesus receives severe whippings so that it too can be healed and made whole. (See Isaiah 53:4-5.)

God cares about the whole person, spirit, soul and body. So much so, that He records a prayer for its well being in 3 John 1:2.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

How Do I Develop Faith For Healing?

Our faith for healing develops as we learn to trust in God’s faithfulness to keep His promise to heal. The Scriptures tell us in Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” As we spend time in God’s Word concerning healing, the Holy Spirit reveals to us the truth, and what was once challenging now becomes easy to believe. 1 Corinthians 2:14 puts it like this, “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Your faith to believe for healing will develop as you dig into God’s word.
