Are You Still Trying To Get Something From God?

Are you still trying to get healed? If you are then you don't believe that you are healed (1 Peter 2:24). If you are still trying to get, then you don't believe that you have. If you are striving for it you don't believe that you have it and you are still working to get it. If you believed that you had it (that you were healed) you would be resting in your faith rather than trying to obtain it (Heb 4:3).

The reason you are still striving to get healed is because you are looking at the wrong thing. When you look at the symptoms on or in your body, it will tell you that you are sick. If that is what you believe then you will continue to strive after healing. But if you will do what God says to do and that is to look at His Word (Prov 4:20-22)) and not at your body (Rom 4:19) , then that Word (Jesus is the Word made flesh) will tell you that "by His stripes you WERE healed", and if you believe that, then you'll no longer strive after healing, for you already have it.

Hebrews 11:1 says, "NOW faith is...........", faith is always right now. Whatever faith is believing, it believes it has it right now. So if you believe what God says over what your body is telling you, you will enter into the rest of God (Heb 3 & 4) and you'll no longer be going after something you already have, and when you are resting in the Promise of God, this is when the Word of God does it's greatest work, and you will then see the manifestation of what you have been believing for.

If you are resting in God, you know that you are in faith. If you are anxious and fretting, and still trying to get, you are in fear and fear does not receive anything from God but rather keeps you from it.

If you've never experienced peace in the middle of the storm (of life), you've never experienced the genuine place of faith. God has enabled His man to be at rest in the middle of the mess, if that man will do what God says rather then what the circumstances are saying.

What you listen to is a matter of life or death, peace or anxiety. God said His Word did not prosper His people because they did not mix faith with what they heard (Heb 4:2). What are you mixing with God's Word today? Faith or Fear? Jesus has one thing to say to you today, "according to YOUR faith, be it done unto you!" ( Matt 9:29)

Simply, whatever you believe in your heart and say with your mouth, that is exactly what you will have. I pray that God's Word abides in your heart and it's coming out of your mouth, for if it is, you are resting (in God) and not striving after something and this is the place God desires you to be. God says, "be still and know that I am God" (Ps 46:10). Be still and rest and let God be God in your life.

Here is my closing thought that I have taken from a man of faith that God used mightily upon this earth, his name is Smith Wigglesworth, and he said; "You will be strong if you believe this truth: faith is the victory--always!!!!!..........Glory to Jesus"

And with that I say, "Yes and Amen!!"...............Be Blessed!!

Dead Man Walking

Gal 2:20 declares that I am crucified with Christ. That means if you have received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are born again and that the old you and me is dead, and the person that is now living in my body is Jesus. I want you to understand this important fact, that unless your old man (your flesh, the old you) is crucified and hanging on the cross, you will be unable to do what God has commanded His Children to do and that is, "the just SHALL live by faith" (Heb 10:38). If you are struggling with living by faith, there is one reason for it. The old man has come down off that cross and chooses to reign and rule in your life instead of allowing Jesus to. To walk in faith, the old man must be crucified. Unless you understand this, you will struggle with faith. Faith is not only believing in something, but it's doing what you believe. And you'll never be able to live by faith in God's Word unless you are dead and hanging on the cross, and Jesus is living through you. Meditate on Gal 2:20 until God teaches you this Truth.

My faith in Him (Jesus) empowers me to live by the faith of Him. You will only see this Truth revealed in the King James version of Gal 2:20. I believe the original writers interrupted this verse more accurately than all the later versions. "I live by the faith of the Son of God" rather than "live by faith in the Son of God". There is a huge difference between the two. The first one leads to action, the second one doesn't.

To believe "in Him" leads me to "act just like Him". To many of God's people stop at believing "in Him", and don't take the next step of "living like Him." Believing "in Him" will change my heart and mind. "Living like Him" will change my circumstances. Believing "in Him" (only) won't calm the wind and the seas (the storms of life), but "living like Him" (living by faith) will.

I not only live by faith "in" the Son of God, I live "by" the faith of the Son of God. The Church has always focused on the "believing in" the Son of God, but it is rare to find the one who believes "in Him" enough to "act like Him" by living his life by the faith of the Son of God.

The devil has no problem with the one who believes "in Him", it's the one who lives by the faith of the Son of God (the one who lives just like Jesus lived--by faith) that is dangerous to him (satan and his kingdom).

Believe "in Him", so that you can act "just like Him". This is God's purpose for man and the kind of man that God desires to fellowship with and spend eternity with. Go beyond believing "in Him" to acting just "like Him" and be what the Church was always intended to be--God's presence on the Earth, reigning and ruling over all of God's creation.

Are you ready for that next step? Then you must be crucified with Christ and allow Jesus to live through you. It's the most exciting way a man could ever live, "Just like Jesus".

Be Blessed!!!

Saint or Sinner-- Which are you?

In 1 Cor 1:2 the Apostle Paul is writing to the Church of God, to those that are sanctified (set apart or separated unto God by being born again), and called to be saints. If you are a born again child of God, then you are called to be saints (you might have to look in a King James or New King James bible to see the correct word "saint" used in verse 2. The newer translations use words like holy (NIV) or his own holy people (NLT) instead of saint, choosing rather to describe the saint instead of calling him a saint.) Men get a little tense with that word because they think the title "saint" is reserved for someone special, so they disqualify themselves and use another word to identify themselves. But God wants you to know today, that because you are His child, you are someone special and the title of "saint" fits you perfectly, so I want you to understand right now at the beginning, that you have been called to be a saint.

Now if you are already feeling uncomfortable thinking of yourself as a saint, then this message is surely for you. May I suggest you take authority over the religious spirits that are coming against you with lies to keep you from this truth. If you are hearing in your ear, "you're just an old sinner saved by grace," you are being lied to and it's time for you to kick the devil out of your life and be the man/woman God has called you to be. What you are about to learn from the Holy Spirit concerning this subject will empower your walk as a Christian and enable you to walk at a level of faith that overflows with boldness and courage because you will see yourself as God sees you, called to be a saint.

Why does the child of God (the born again one) call himself a sinner when in fact he has been redeemed from sin and been made the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21) ? Why would he still call himself a sinner, one who must sin each and every day? Because he has been taught a man made doctrine instead of the Truth of God for Jesus said in Matt 15:6, "you have made the commandment (the Word) of God of no effect by your tradition." This man who calls himself a sinner (saved by grace) is listening to the wrong voice. The enemy of his soul (and of God), the devil, calls him a sinner and this child of God agrees with him.

But God, his Heavenly Father, calls him "saint" ( Greek word for saint is hagios---hag'-ee-os which means sacred, pure, blameless, consecrated (to set apart as sacred, to dedicate to God, devote), most holy one, saint). How could God call His child a saint when He found him in the pig- pen (the World)? One reason, and one reason only, "the Blood of Jesus". If you discount or disregard the Blood of Jesus, then you'll buy into the lie of the devil and you'll call yourself what the devil is calling you, "a sinner".

When a man receives Jesus as his Savior, the Blood of Jesus does away with his sin, totally obliterates it, and this man is now free from the sin that condemned him. He is born again, a brand new creature, pure and holy before God, made righteous which gives him every right to stand before God his Father with full access to the Kingdom of God, all because of the Blood of Jesus that was shed at the whipping post and on the Cross for him. Jesus paid an enormous price for this man, and God the Father now calls this man "saint", and how dare this man disagree with God by calling himself just an old sinner saved by grace.

I've got news for you, there are no sinners in Heaven. If you agree with the devil and call yourself a sinner and truly believe that, then Heaven is not your home and you will not reside there. Why would a born again child of God call himself a sinner? Because he has lost sight of God, being distracted by this world, and sees himself back at the pig-pen God delivered him from. So the devil convinces the man that he is a sinner, but it's a lie coming from the father of lies.

This man is not a sinner, but a saint that has sinned (this is a huge difference in mind set and if you will change your mind and call yourself what God calls you, you'll walk above sin and be victorious over it). All this man must do is be a doer of the Word of God and do 1 John 1:9 which says, " if (this is the condition set forth by God for His children) if we confess our sins, He (God) is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from ALL unrighteousness". As soon as the saint that sinned does the Word, he is forgiven and put back in his rightful place before God, pure and holy, a saint.

Once the child of God learns God's way for him concerning sin, then the devil comes and says, "you're no saint, for you sin each and every day and you aren't even conscious of your sin, you dirty old thing you and you are a sinner." And because this man, the saint, does not know the word (or doesn't agree with it if he does know it), he agrees with the devil and calls himself a sinner just saved by grace.

Here's the deal. You are either a sinner or you are saved by grace (a saint). You can't be both. You can't be a Christian schizophrenic. Saints are bound for heaven. Sinners are bound for Hell.

Why does this man call himself a sinner? Because he thinks he is being humble before the Lord God. But actually, he is being ignorant and foolish before his God for the Word of God clearly states in 1 John 1:7, " IF (condition) we walk in the light as He (Jesus) is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from ALL sin". All means all. Known sin as well as unknown sins.

Why does the born again child of God call himself a sinner? (Are you getting tired of this question? If you are then maybe you'll feel what God thinks about it. He's tired of it to!). Because he identifies himself with the wrong man. Man is a three part being. Spirit, soul, and body

( 1 Thess 5:23). The real you is your spirit man, not your flesh body. The real you is the man on the inside, not the outside. Instead of identifying yourself according to your spirit man on the inside that was born again, you rather identify yourself by the house your new spirit lives in, called your body. Your body was not born again, it's as ugly as ever and it wants to do ugly things (sin) because it's been trained that way. It's good at it and it doesn't want to change. But your new spirit filled with the life of God CAN NOT sin, but your body can if you are led by your flesh body instead of your spirit.

If you are born again, you are a saint on the inside. If you let that man (your spirit) direct your steps, then you'll look like on the outside what you are on the inside, a saint. But if you follow your flesh body, then you'll look like a sinner on the outside, but your still a saint on the inside that needs to confess the sin of allowing your body to rule over you instead of your spirit. The sin that truly needs to be confessed in this matter is that you allowed your body to rule and reign over you, under the influence of the enemy of God, the devil, therefore exalting the god of this World over the One True God, the God that owns your spirit man on the inside ( 1 Cor 3:16-17 &

1 Cor 6: 19-20). This is what needs to be confessed by the saint (the child of God) for God said in Ex 20:2, "you shall have NO other God's before Me." You confess exalting another god above Him, and restate your allegience to the One True Most Holy God, then the Blood of Jesus cleanses you from ALL sin and you are right back in the perfect place with God. (*Note: this may be the most important thing the Holy Spirit has said through me since I started this blog years ago. If you get this and believe it, it will change your Christian life forever!!)

So get this straight. If you are born again, you are not a sinner, you are a saint.A saint that might miss the mark at times, but a saint always, because of the Blood of Jesus. If you will identify yourself as a saint instead of a sinner, you will be bold and strong in the Lord, and walk on the devil's head like you are supposed to while at the same time putting a big smile on your Father's (God) face. Call yourself "saint". See how it fits. You'll grow into it if it seems a bit large for you.

God calls you saint, now, what are you going to call yourself? If you give the wrong answer, go back to the top of this message and begin again until you can say "saint". When that happens, you've stepped over into victory. Just the way God planned it all along.

Be Blessed!!!

Help God, I'm In A Bad Spot!!

Jesus said, "Now My soul is troubled and what shall I say? Father save Me from this hour? But for this purpose I came to this hour". (John 12:27)

Jesus said He was troubled because of where He found Himself and what stood before Him. He said, should I pray to God (the Father) to get me out of this situation? No, because for this purpose I came and that purpose was to reveal God the Father, to let His light so shine before the world so that men/women would be drawn to the light of God and enter the Kingdom of God through the Son.Jesus knew His purpose and why He was here, and He knew what He had to do to cross the finish line and complete the race that was set before Him for all humanity.

The Apostle Paul was learning this truth in 2 Cor 12:7-10 when satan sent one of his messengers to buffet or resist Paul in what he was doing. This messenger became a pain in the neck (better known as Paul's thorn in the flesh) to Paul and he pleaded with God to take this bad situation away from him.

Man always does this. We always want the easy way of least resistance. We don't want any hardship so we are always trying to pray our way out of it, while all the time, that was our very assignment from God to be in a situation that we could not control with our own abilities, but our only way out was through God working through us and through doing this God's glory is revealed to those in darkness, and they are drawn to the light of God.

Paul figured this out through revelation when God said to him, "My Grace IS SUFFICIENT for you". God's Grace is always sufficient in any situation you'll face, for the Holy Spirit declares (through Paul), "For by Grace are you have been saved (healed, set free, delivered, made whole--it's the Greek word sozo and this word saved is way deeper, wider and stronger then most Christians understand it to be), For by Grace you have been saved through Faith."

Everything you need in life God has provided for you ( 2 Pet 1:3). There is nothing that you need that is not included in God's Grace and that is why God said, "My Grace is sufficient for you". All you must do to receive the promise of His Grace is by believing what God has said to you, that His Grace is sufficient or "I've already provided for your need, now believe Me for it and you will receive it." Paul learned this and rejoiced and praised God for he knew the victory was his.

God is calling you and me to this same place of understanding. God says to His children, "don't be in such a hurry to get out of that difficult place you are in. For this is the very purpose I sent you there so that you could fight the good fight of faith and let your light shine before men, so that these men would be drawn unto Me.

Brothers and Sisters, if you are following the Spirit of God (the Word) with your life, then you are at the right place at the right time no matter how ugly or difficult it may seem. For this purpose were you called there to reveal the Living God to those around you. You can stand confidently in the middle of the situation you find yourself in knowing that God's Grace is sufficient and more than enough and He will save (deliver) you out of it when your mission is complete and your light has done it's work.

Are we willing to trust God to this extent with our lives? Well, Jesus did, and He is our perfect example. And whatever He did that is our calling as well for Jesus said, "those that believe in Me, the works that I do, they shall do also." (John 14:12)

So before you quickly call to God to bail you out of a situation, make sure your mission is complete. How will you know when it is complete? God will save (deliver) you from (or out of) it, and you'll be looking back at it.

If you understand what Jesus has told us today, then you'll know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isa 54:17). When you see adversity ahead, you'll run at it like King David did against the giant (1 Sam 17:48), because you'll also know what David knew, God's Grace was sufficient for him, and it surely was and it will surely be for you as well.

Father glorify your Name through me today!! ( John 12:28) That is what Jesus said when He saw the Cross before Him and He knew God's Grace was sufficient for Him to finish His mission and thanks be to God He did for because He lives, so do we, therefore we say what Jesus said, " Father glorify your Name (through me today)".

Be Blessed (Ps 40:4)

The Doctor's Report

God spoke the following truth to me today and said, "You do not have to be afraid of a doctor's report."



For the Believer (the born-again one), the doctor's report is only that which points to a need or to the lack of a need. When the need is revealed in the doctor's report, then you know exactly where to release your faith in the Word of God for that need to be met with the healing power of God. Without the doctor's report you wouldn't know the need, and not knowing leads to an opportunity for the enemy of your soul (the devil) to harm you or kill you.



The doctor's report is your friend.It points to needs and God has said in His Word that He will meet all of our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus (Phil 4:19). God has an answer for every need of man. Jesus, the Son of the Living God, is that answer because He bore every sickness and every disease under the curse(Isa 53:4-5, Matt 8:16-17). Healing has already been provided for any physical, mental, or spiritual need that stands before you by the stripes that were laid upon Jesus' back and the finished work of the Cross.



Now you will have to believe God's report (Isa 53:1) above the doctor's report and the only way you can do that is by looking at and meditating (thinking on) God's report instead of the doctor's report (I didn't say ignore the doctor's report, I said don't dwell on it). God's report needs to be coming out of your mouth instead of the doctor's report. When people ask you how you are doing, give them God's report instead of the doctor's report by saying, "I'm walking healed in the light of God's Word for His report says, " that by His stripes I WAS healed" (1 Pet 2:24). Now your flesh will want to agree with the doctor's report, but your born again spirit will want to agree with God's report. Be led by your spirit and not your flesh.



Instead of being fearful and dreading the doctor's report, use it to your advantage. Realize that your enemy's attack against you has been exposed in your body and now you can direct your faith at it according to what Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24. He said to speak to the mountain (that problem that has been revealed in the doctor's report), NOT to speak about it, for all this does is make the mountain bigger and your God smaller, so who do you think would be behind that kind of speaking? Yes, you are right, the devil. Jesus said we are to command that mountain to remove itself from us. You have the name of that mountain in your life because the doctor's report has identified it, now all that is required of the Believer to do is to speak to it by calling it's name and commanding it to leave (here is a good place to read Phil 2:9-11).



If that mountain acts as if it's not paying any attention to you, just keep your eyes on the Word of God's Promises and keep His Word coming out of your mouth, and then one day you will look up from the Word and somewhere along your stand of faith, it left you.



The devil will try to use the doctor's report against you by producing fear. The only answer to fear is Faith. Fear will kill you, faith will bring life (God's life, everlasting life). If you will make the doctor's report your friend instead of your enemy, you will obtain the victory that Jesus has already provided you, because you will be in faith instead of fear and when you are in faith you shall live and not die and declare the mighty works of God (Ps 118:17).

God's intent for that doctor's report is to work for you and not against you. If you will use it that way, you will be victorious (1 Cor 15:57) and you will be a witness (Acts 1:8) to God's goodness and faithfulness to all those around you.

Now, whose report are you going to believe? (Isa 53:1)

* I wrote a blog post on Oct 17, 2009 entitled "What Light Do You Read By? That posting will fit very nicely with what God has put on my heart that I am sharing with you in today's post.

The Just Shall Live By Faith--Have You Heard That Before?

God said in Heb 10:38 "Now the just shall live by faith". Who are the "just"? Are you? If you have received Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Savior, then you have been justified before God by and through the blood of His Son Jesus and therefore you have been placed in right standing with God (you have been made Righteous). You have been delivered from the power of darkness (this world's system and from the god of this World, the devil) and translated (to carry from one state to another) into the Kingdom of the Son of His love (the Kingdom of God).


Therefore the child of God, the Believer (the just one), has been commanded by God to live by faith. God said "shall", not should, so I'm not sure why the majority of the church feels as if they have an option. To not live by faith is to be in disobedience to God. Now Heb 10:38 is very clear. Then why is there so few of God's children living by faith? Why would they disregard God's command to them and live another way? If you aren't living by faith, then why aren't you? Heb 11:6 says it's impossible to please God without faith, so if you are trying to please God any other way (most likely by your works) you are not pleasing God. The only way to put a smile on God's face is by believing Him (that is faith). I didn't say by believing "in Him" for that is nothing more then mental assent (knowledge of Him), I said, "believing Him" by believing His Word or by believing what Jesus says for He is the Living Word of God made flesh. If you believe Him, you will be doing what He says. If you believe "in" Him only, then you'll be doing what everybody else thinks and says is the right thing to do.

God has said, "the just SHALL live by faith". Jesus said, "when I return, will I find faith on the earth"(Luke 18:8). Why is it so hard to find faith on the earth when 70% of the people in this country (U.S.) profess to be Christians. You know the term Christian means we are to be Christ like or just as Christ. When you look at Jesus, you see a man (the Son of Man) living by faith in God. Do you look like that? Why not? God has commanded us to live that way, then why can't I find anybody doing it?

Because faith comes from God and it is given to man, so that man can believe his God. It's the very thing God uses to enable fellowship between Himself and His children. God declares His Word, and the child of God believes it and receives from God. They have fellowship one with another. It's truly pleasing to God when His children believe Him.

Faith was designed by God to be used in the Spiritual Realm. Faith is a spiritual force that was to be used by a spiritual being (man) to interact with His God, but when Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden after being deceived by the devil, his spirit died, and he lost his spiritual contact with God and the Spirit Realm, and now had to survive without God in the Natural, Physical Realm and take care of himself. (Does this sound familiar?)

The Good News is that Jesus went to the Cross and paid the price for Adam's sin, and ever since the Cross, man has been given a way back to a right relationship with God by receiving the sacrifice of Jesus as his own payment for his sin by making Jesus the Lord and Savior of his life. This man is now born again with a brand new spirit that is free from sin, the Spirit of Jesus Himself. And now the ability to believe God is now residing in his heart once again and that is why God commands the man to live by faith, because God knows the man has the ability to do it, and it is that pleasing fellowship that God desires with him.

So what's the problem? Everything has been put back in it's proper place between God and man. However that same one (the devil) that deceived Adam in the Garden, is still doing the same thing today. Unfortunately, the born again man today (the church) is more willing to believe the lies of the devil rather than the promises of God. Why?

One reason and one reason only. They choose to walk according to their flesh and not according to the Spirit. (Rom 8:1) Faith operates in the unseen realm of the Spirit, but the majority of God's children try to live by faith in the natural realm and it just won't work there. They take the Word of God and set it up next to what they see and feel and the devil comes to confirm what they see and feel, and then speaks lies about the Word of God not being true for their situation, and the child of God becomes deceived and agrees with the devil instead of agreeing with God.

Rom 8:5-6 says, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death (separated from God's Word of truth by the devil's deception) but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (this is God's realm, the realm of the Spirit where faith from a man can hook into the life of God).

So there is your answer. I see the Church, but I don't see faith. 2 Cor 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith and not by sight", but the majority of the Church has another version of that scripture that reads, "for we walk by sight, and not by faith", because they say this is reasonable and faith is unreasonable. Here is why the Church persecutes the man among them that walks by faith. They side with the devil to do all they can to destroy this man of faith, because they want to hold fast to what they believe and are threatened by someone who would literally believe God at His Word.

The carnal man (Christian) says, "I just call it as I see it" (not as God sees it). If he is sick, he will say he is sick, and he will say that until he sees something else.

The spiritual man (Christian) says the same thing, "I just call it as I see it" (as God sees it). He is not looking at what the carnal man is looking at. He instead is looking at what the Word of God says about his situation and he believes the Word over what he sees with his natural eyes but rather declares what his spiritual eyes see by calling those things that be not as though they were (Rom 4:17). Do you know who else does that? God Himself!! And His kids should be acting just like Him?

When God looks at your house, will He find faith there? You have no excuse before God. If you are born again, He has placed the measure of faith in you (Rom 12:3). What have you done with it? God says you shall live by faith, what do you say?

Unbelief--That's A Dangerous Place To Be

It's not that I can't believe God and what He says, but rather I choose to believe something else because I choose to believe what I see, feel or think over what God has said. I choose to elevate what I see over what God says. I choose to be in control.

The underlying problem of why I can't believe God's word is PRIDE. I choose to exalt what I think, see, and feel, over what God says is true. I exalt my evidence (what I see) over God's evidence (His Word). Faith (believing God) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11:1) If I am believing God for healing, then the evidence of my healing is found in His Word. This is the evidence that works for me. If I look anywhere else, like my own body, or the doctor's report, this becomes evidence that works against me, for it will oppose the Word of God. God asks man a question in Isa 53:1. "Who has believed the report of the Lord?". What you choose to believe will determine your outcome.

To not believe God, is to believe something else. Unbelief is to choose to believe one thing over another. Unbelief is not non-belief. Non-belief means you don't believe anything and that is impossible (for you see, whatever you find yourself doing, that is what you believe, because you'll only do what you believe). Unbelief is to choose what you believe over what someone else believes. When Jesus marveled at their unbelief (Mark 6:6) , He was marveling at the fact the people chose to believe what they thought over what God said.

Where there is unbelief, there is no faith and where there is no faith, there is no access into the Grace of God to obtain help (salvation- deliverance, restoration, healing, being made whole) for whatever you have need of. (Rom 5:1-2).

Faith is always present. Faith has been deposited into a man to enable him to believe. God made man this way, for what a man believes, he will do. If a man believes what he thinks, feels, and sees over what God says, then he is believing himself over God. He is in belief towards himself and unbelief towards God.

Whatever a man believes, man will say out of his mouth, for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth will speak (Matt 12:34), and Jesus said you will have what you say (Mark 11:23),why? Because you believe it.

If you look at your body and it says to you, "I'm sick", and you agree with it, then you will be believing that you are a sick man. But if you look at your body and it says "I'm sick" and you say, "God said Jesus bore my sickness and carried my diseases (Matt 8:17) and by His stripes I was healed (1 Pet 2:24), therefore I choose to believe God over what you (my body) are saying to me", then you are agreeing with God and believing that you are a healed man because of what God says over what your body is saying. You are in belief towards God and unbelief towards your body. Does this seem extreme or fanatical to you? The reason for that is you are choosing to live your life in the natural realm, but God lives in the Spirit realm and that is where He is asking you to live your life for He said, "the just shall live by faith" (Heb 10:38) and faith only operates in the Spirit Realm and what I just shared with you in the above scenario does not look extreme or fanatical where God lives. The natural realm is subject to the spiritual realm and the spirit realm can change things in the natural realm (Heb 1:1-4).

I choose to believe God's Word to me over what I think, see, or feel. I exalt God to the highest place in my life, and I choose to bow my knee to Him and submit to Him and I do this by submitting to His Word for God and His Word are One (John1:1). Then I resist the devil (who brought the sickness) and I command that sickness to loose it's grip on my body and then I command it to flee. (James 4:7)

The devil roams about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet 5:8). He needs your permission to devour you and you give it to him when you don't resist him and run him off. He will devour the one who believes what he thinks, feels, and sees over what God says, because the devil knows that this man has done exactly what he (the devil) did, he (the devil) tried to exalt his throne above God's by doing what he thought over what God said (Isa 14:12-15). This is called PRIDE and it originated with the devil and pride defeated him and pride will defeat you also. The devil got kicked out of Heaven, and the man who doesn't believe God gets kicked out of the promises of Heaven.

Whatever part of God's Word a man can not believe, he will not have any access to. To not believe God is to believe something else and you'll have what you believe.

If sickness wants to live in your body and you don't want it to, then you will have to resist it, and run it out by saying what God says over what your body is saying. God has equipped you to do it, but you will have to believe Him over what you think, see, or feel.

It all boils down to, who is going to be God in this situation? Are you going to exalt yourself above God's throne by exalting what you think over what God thinks (Isa 55:8-9), or are you going to trust God and allow Him to rule and reign in your life (Prov 3:5-6), by you believing what God says over what you think, see, or feel.

It's not that you can't believe God, but rather you choose to believe something else. Bottom line, this is sin, and sin separates you from the blessing of God, and exposes you to the curse and the effects of the curse (Ex: sickness, poverty, lack, depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.).

God has revealed this truth to us today so that we would know how dangerous unbelief is. He has shown us the truth behind unbelief which is our choice to worship another God over the One True God. This is serious stuff. You and I are now armed with the truth, and if we choose to believe that truth, it will set us free from the curse. (John 8:32) God says, "I set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, choose life (God even gives us the right choice)" (Deut 30:19).

What choice do you make today?
