Think about it... in God's Word it says, "by Christ's stripes we ARE healed." It doesn't say maybe we are healed... it says we ARE (present tense). God sent Jesus so that we would have a fullness of life; to be restored to our original place of dominion over the earth. By the shed blood of Jesus we are MORE than conquers (Rom. 8). Do we really believe what God says in His Word is true? Do we take Him literally at His promises? He isn't a man who should lie and His promises do NOT return to us void. I believe it's time to take God at His Word and STAND on what He says... no matter what it looks like in the natural.
So many times Jesus said after healing someone, "Your faith has made you well." I want to have that faith that heals and casts out demons... that sets the captives free. I believe it's time to agree with God and what He says about us rather than what the enemy or even other people say. Agreement has so much power because what we agree with is what we will open ourselves up to what we will become; "as a man thinks so IS he."
God told me that this generation is to be one this is no longer on defense... always fighting sin, but rather a generation on the offense; a generation of warriors. Through love and intimacy with God (identity: knowing who we are in Christ) we will have the confidence, boldness, strength, wisdom, determination, and power to take back the ground that the enemy has stolen.
Think about it: all power, dominion, and authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus Christ by God... Christ dwells with in us... the same Jesus who cast out demons and healed the sick LIVE IN YOU AND ME... RIGHT NOW!! Right now we have the power and authority!! Each and everyone of us is a demon slayer, has the power of healing, and freedom. Jesus makes ALL things possible. Why do we settle for less than who we were made to be?
Jesus died that we would have life abundantly... His death was enough to pay for all our sin, guilt, and shame... pain, sickness, disease, and FREEDOM!! Lets receive it, ALL of it! Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!!
So come on church!!
Lets dare to believe, dare to receive
dare to hope, dare to pray
To stand in FAITH, stand on TRUTH
and let God have His way
No holding back, not anymore
it's time to jump, cry out, to shout
to run and to soar
God's people taking back the land
This generation's gonna make a stand
Jesus Christ gave us the victory
To kick the butt of the enemy
Amen!
