Heal(ed)

    Jesus' death on the cross purchased so many things for us besides salvation. He provided everything we would need right there on that cross. One thing that we forget is that it has already been done and we do not need to plead with God to do anything more, we just need to receive the gift that has already been given. An area that I believe is a particular struggle for the Christian community is in our healing.

    Do we really believe that God has done what He said He has done? If so, we should believe that we already have access to healing through Jesus. There is no need to beg God to heal you or to ask if it is "His will." All you need to do is accept and believe what He has promised. If it was His will for you to suffer through sickness and disease, would he have healed those around Him during His ministry? Would He have taken a beating for YOUR sickness if He didn't want your healing? We have authority over the evil in the world, including sickness. Exercise the authority you have in Jesus' name and the power of His Holy Spirit to speak to your body and others' around you.

     Do you believe that you HAVE been healed today? Do you recognize that you do not have to walk in sickness and pain? It is not the Lord's will that you do! It is His will that you speak life over yourself and claim what He has already done for you. By His stripes you ARE healed. Believe it in faith-- the currency of Heaven-- and receive.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. (ESV)
Psalm 103:2-4 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy (ESV)

James 5:15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. (ESV)
Matthew 10:1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. (ESV)

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. (HCSB)

How Firm a Foundation

Matthew 7:24-27 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.” Luke 6:46-49 “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against th...

Jealous Eyes to Thankful Hearts

    When you love someone you want the best for them. You don't think about all the things they have and you don't, but you think of what you want to give to them. Likewise, it is hard to love someone when you are focused on wanting all their blessings. Jealousy is blinding. We cannot love with envy standing in the way.     Envy takes our eyes off of Jesus and the things He is doing and onto what He is not  seeming to do for us, personally. It is a dangerous trap to be in because you are blind to what He has given to you. He blesses and uses us all differently. Amazingly, we are each completely unique in Him. Don't let the enemy distract you with what you don't seem to have, but let Jesus show you what you do.     When we don't see what is around us we begin to lose our thankfulness. We are supposed to be living a lifestyle of thankfulness to Jesus and all the wonderful things He has done for us. We thank Him and we praise Him and let Him use us ac...

Seeing by Faith

    When we are trying to live by faith, the things that inhibit us are the things that are right under our noses. We are trained to live based on the things around us. We don't believe anything if we don't see proof of it. The things around us are more our reality than what we say we believe in. But the Bible tells us that we are to walk by faith and not by sight. We are to live based on what we know is truth, not by what we see.     The things we see around us distract us from the reality we should be living in. What is unseen is eternal and more important than the things of this world. We need to fix our eyes on what is lasting and know the difference. We need to be filling ourselves with the word and not the world. When we are distracted by the world, we forget the truth. We become discouraged and doubt our faith. We need to draw strength from one another so that we may run the race with endurance.     What is determining your reality today? Is i...
