John 10:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10 (AMP) ¹⁰  The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).

Notice that the devil is the bad guy and Jesus is the good guy. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy everything you have and are but Jesus has come to give you the abundant life worth living! So, which camp are you in – the devil’s or the Lord Jesus’? Which one do you want to be in? This is not a trick question but yet so many sincere Christians are not living the life of victory that Jesus bought and paid for.

The phrase they might have means to have and to continually possess. It’s not a one time thing. God wants us to continually walk in His kind of abundant life of victory in every area of our lives.

Let’s look at the word life. It’s the Greek word zoe which is the God-kind of life, filled with vitality.

The word abundant  means to be above, beyond what is regular—extraordinary.

Putting it altogether, we see that the life that God has for us far exceeds what we can think, know, or imagine.

Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) ²⁰  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us…

As you can see, from Ephesians, God wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think but it’s according to the power that works in us. No power, no results! Yes, the Holy Spirit is in us if we’ve been born-again but if the Word of God is not in us, there’s nothing for our faith to work with. You can’t have the God-kind of faith beyond His Word because that’s where faith is—in God’s Word. No Word, no power! You can’t even pray effectively beyond your knowledge of God’s Word.

John 3:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Notice that when God gave Jesus, it was not only to forgive our sins and heal our bodies, but to give us everlasting life. He’s not talking about the length but rather the zoe kind of life –  the God-kind of life! And it doesn’t start when we get to Heaven. We’re in it now!!! But we have to partake of it in order to benefit from this awesome gift!

Remember, we’re talking about a life that’s worth living. This life doesn’t consist of the abundance of things. Even the unsaved can have an abundance of things.

Luke 12:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Matthew 16:26 (KJV) ²⁶  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

You don’t want to be as some who have outlived their lives. Yes, they’re physically alive but other than that, there’s no substance to them. What you do want is to live a life that’s worth living.

So, just what is a life worth living? It’s living the zoe life of God. And only those who are born-again can actually partake of the zoe life of God.

 

2 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV) ³  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
⁴  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

You see, it’s by walking in God’s divine promises to ust the we can partake of His divine nature – His zoe life!

That’s what happens when we live out of our spirit – our inner man – rather than walk by our flesh and emotions.

Galatians 5:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

If all we ever do is live our lives according to the dictates of our carnal flesh – our emotions, our five senses, what we think – we’re going to live a life so far below what God has ordained for us.

So, how do we walk in the spirit and not fulfil the lust of the flesh? We walk according to God’s Word. He’s already prepared a way for us to go. He’s already gone before us and provided everything we’ll ever need to live His zoe life on this earth.

But, and I say BUT, we have our part to do. God’s divine plans and purposes don’t just fall on us like ripe cherries off a tree. We need to do our part and that’s to pursue His ways by getting into the Word and finding out what He’s already given us.

In Eph 1:3 we see that we’ve already been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Heavenly places. All the promises of God are in the spirit realm. And the way we bring those promises into the physical realm is by using our faith. Faith accesses the spirit realm and bridges the gap. Faith brings what’s real in the spirit realm over into the physical realm where it manifests for our good.

What an awesome God we serve!

Romans 8:1 (KJV) ¹  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:5 (KJV) ⁵  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) ³  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Jeremiah 10:23 (KJV) ²³  O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Too many times when bad things happen, people wonder why it did because “they really loved” those people – family members, friends, etc.

But is love all it takes? Let’s look into this.

People who have cared for others, especially children and family members, wonder what went wrong when something does go wrong

They reason that they did so much to take care of those loved ones – school projects, after school activities, appointments, shopping, cooking, loving, etc. So, what happened? They poured their love into those people and yet, something bad happened.

First of all, we live in a fallen world and Satan is the god of this world. We also know that we have a free will and God will never override our free will. So, the real question ought to be: why weren’t our loved ones protected?

Let’s check in with God. If love was all it took, then we’d all have it made because there’s no one who loves us more than Almighty God. He gave His all – Jesus – to get us back in relationship with Him. But — we know that bad things still happen to the good, the bad, the saved, and the unsaved. So, there must be more to this situation than meets the ol’ proverbial eye.

As I said, if love is all it takes, we’d all have it made. But there’s more to living on planet earth than this. God has, in His divine agape love for us, provided everything we’ll ever need to be victorious on planet earth. But it is only accessed by faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

As we see, not only do we please God by faith, we must also believe that He is God and that He rewards us by answering our faith-filled prayers. We are never told to come to God as beggars. Heb. 4:16 tells us to come boldly to the throne of grace to find help in time of need.

We are the ones who must pray protection over our families: Isa. 54:17; Ps. 91:10-11; Luke 10:19; II Tim. 1:12; all of Ps. 91, pray in tongues, and plead the Blood. Coming to God as a beggar only reveals that you don’t know your rightful place in the Lord, that you don’t know His will for you, and that you don’t trust Him to hear and answer your prayers (I John 5:14-15). Case in point is when people solicit as many people as possible – prayer groups, prayer lists, etc. to pray for them or their loved ones. Just how many prayers do you need to get the job done?

Actually, all this says is you’re thinking that the more people praying for your case will change God and get Him to move on your behalf. Well, I have good news for you, God has already moved! Jesus’ atonement was complete and perfect, satisfying the claims of justice forever!

God doesn’t need changing! He’s on your side and has already provided everything you’ll ever need to overcome your problem or situation (II Pet. 1:3-4)! Praise the Lord of Glory for His exceeding grace that He’s poured out on you!

You need to get into God’s Word and find out what He’s provided and then stand on His promises in faith. Kick the devil out and confidently stand on what God has already given and walk out the victory that He’s provided for you. And the goodness of God that’s seen on you will draw the unsaved to want what you have! Glory to God!

John 3:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Galatians 5:6b (KJV) ⁶  … but faith which worketh by love.

 Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Psalm 91:10-11 (KJV) ¹⁰  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
¹¹  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Luke 10:19 (KJV) ¹⁹  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV) ³  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
⁴  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

It has come to my attention recently that many Christians are woefully ignorant of their inheritance in the Lord Jesus. What this means is that they are living far below their privileges in Christ. So, I ask you, in what do they believe? In what do you believe?

Let’s examine what God has to say in the Owner’s Manual – the Bible! And as some would say – has it come to that? Yes, it has come to that but it should have always been there. When you got saved, on what did you base your salvation—on how good you were or on how holy, righteous, gracious, and forgiving God was? Your salvation was based solely on what Jesus had already done – His Atonement. So, what happened? Life!

Yes, life happens but God already knew that and that’s why He so graciously provided everything we’ll ever need in this life to be victorious. Which brings me to faith.

As you see in Acts 10:34, Eph. 6:9, and Col. 2:25, God is no respecter of persons. Salvation is the great equalizer and everyone starts out the same. Rom. 12:3 tells us that we’re each given the measure of faith – not more to some and less to others. Unfortunately, some people think that way but it’s not true.

We’re each given the measure of faith and what we do with it to develop it, is our part to do. It’s now in our ball park. According to Rom. 10:17, the God-kind of faith comes by hearing God’s Word. Therefore, we can see that in order to have and walk in the God-kind of faith, we have to know God’s Word because that’s where faith is – in His Word.

We don’t even have to have a truckload of faith – just a mustard seed size will move a mountain and pluck up a tree! [Matt 17:20; Luke17:6] Wow – what a concept!

The point I’m endeavoring to make is that as we get into God’s Word and find out what He has already given us, and then walk in that revelation, our faith will grow exceedingly. [II Thes. 1:3; Philemon 6] You can’t have faith beyond your knowledge of the Word of God because that’s where faith is—in God’s Word. Let me give you some scriptures that will help.

Romans 12:3b (KJV) ³  … according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Since God has given each of us the measure of faith, just what is that measure? It’s the whole Word of God! But what you do with it will determine the results you get. Little word, little results. Much Word, much results. If you want to know how much faith you’re operating in, check your Word level! (Faith is also a fruit of your reborn spirit but I’ll get to that later.)

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) ⁶  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

God would be unjust to require us to please Him with faith if we all had different amounts. Remember, He’s no respecter of persons.

 Acts 10:34 (KJV) ³⁴  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Romans 2:11 (KJV) ¹¹  For there is no respect of persons with God.

2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV) ⁷  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Here we see that it’s God’s will that we walk by faith and not by sight. The way we do that is to walk by what God has said in His Word. But you can’t do that if you don’t know His Word.

John 1:1 (KJV) ¹  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 15:5 (KJV) ⁵  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

 Philippians 4:13 (KJV) ¹³  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

John 8:31-32 (KJV) ³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Since Jesus is the Word, we can say that without the Word (and walking in the Word) we can do nothing of ourselves. Without Jesus and His Word, we are nothing, can do nothing and have nothing. But with Him we can do all things because all things are possible to Him who believes (the Word). Jesus is the Word of God. To walk with Jesus is to walk in His Word.

Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) ²²  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²³  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

2 Thessalonians 1:3a (KJV) ³  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly…

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Galatians 2:20 (KJV) ²⁰  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Faith is a fruit of your reborn spirit and it needs to grow by feeding it the Word of God. We also see that the faith we have is actually the faith of Jesus. How awesome is that!

Philemon 1:6 (KJV) ⁶  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) ³  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

These awesome scriptures show us that in order for our faith to become effective, we have to acknowledge all the good things in us that have been given by God. That’s a mouthful in itself! But when you do acknowledge those good things, it will build your confidence and strengthen your faith, setting you up to do awesome things for God! Go for it!

The bottom line is that the God-kind of faith is your positive response to what God has already given you through His grace. It’s believing what He’s already done and acting on it.  Notice I John 5:14-15:

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Romans 1:17b (KJV) ¹⁷  … The just shall live by faith.

God’s will has always been and will always be His Word!

— Pamela

John 8:31-32 (KJV) ³¹  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
³²  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The truth shall make you free! What a statement—and how popular it is! Even on secular TV programs, people can be heard quoting this scripture with no clue as to its meaning.

But, is this really true? Does the truth really make you free? Not in itself. Hold on. I’m going to explain this and it’ll be good.

To really benefit from this verse, you have to read it in context. Jesus said that if you continue in His Word, then you shall know the truth and that truth that you know will make you free. That’s how you become a disciple of the Lord Jesus – by continuing in His Word. It’s more than a “nod to God” as you’re heading out the door in the morning. It’s a continual awareness of God’s Word that permeates every cell of your being!

Just quoting scripture doesn’t set anyone free. Jesus said He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We also know that God and His Word are One and that Jesus is the Word. Right?

So, putting it altogether, we can legitimately say that the Word you know and are intimately acquainted with, will indeed make you free as you act on it.

I know I’ve said a mouthful, so let me reiterate. Since Jesus is the Truth and the Word, we can say that knowing His Word will make you free.

Let’s look at the Word KNOW. This is not mental assent but rather a heart knowledge of the Word. According to Vine’s Expository dictionary of New Testament Words, the word know implies an active relation between the one who knows and the person or thing known.

In Sparkling Gems by Rick Renner, to know something means that it must be recognized, acknowledged, and understood. This is mandatory, not optional. So, when this word – know – is used, it means that we are to pay close attention and do it.

Jesus is telling us that in order to truly be His disciples, we must continue in His Word, having an active relationship between us and the Word. Then, as we continue in the Word that we know, having gotten it down into our hearts, that Word will make us free because we’ll be doers of the Word and not hearers only! You can only act on what you actually know.

Brothers and sisters, it’s imperative in these last days to fill ourselves with God’s Word – actively arm ourselves with the Word. That way we’ll be ready for anything that comes our way and we won’t fall apart like a $2 suitcase!

Our loving, gracious Father has so provided for us through His Word that we need not fear. We need to take our stand and fight the good fight of faith. We’re more than conquerors through Jesus – the Word – by using our faith!

John 14:6 (KJV) ⁶  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV) ⁷  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 Timothy 6:12 (KJV) ¹²  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Romans 8:37 (KJV) ³⁷  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
1 John 5:4 (KJV) ⁴  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) ¹²  Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

How many times do believers pray hoping that God will answer their prayers? Probably all the time. But is that what they really believe? Or do they think that their prayers will somehow change God causing Him to do what they want?

You see, prayer doesn’t change God. He doesn’t need changing. What He said is what He means and what He means is what He said. Too often we go to prayer and think that we’re informing God about our situation because He doesn’t really know what’s going on down here on earth. I know that sounds a bit silly but in reality that’s what many people think and do. I’ve heard lots of people pray and this that is how they pray, as if God doesn’t know the situation.

So what do we do and how should we pray? Of course the answer is much more involved than I can expound on in one blog but suffice it to say that God told us to remind Him of His Word. He has already made known to us His promises and our part is to stand fast by confessing them – speaking forth what He has already said.

We have to remember that God gave us His Word so that we would know His will and what He has already given us. He told us that if we pray according to His will He hears us and if we know that He hears us, then we have the petitions that we have asked. His will is His Word! You can’t get much clearer than that!

That’s why it behooves us to get into God’s Word and find out what He has already said. Then we can remind Him—not that He has forgotten but that we would be aware of what He has said. And the good part is that God watches over His word to perform it. Then as we speak it in prayer, it doesn’t return to Him without doing what He has sent it to do. What a life we have in the Lord!

Isaiah 43:26 (KJV) ²⁶  Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Jeremiah 1:12 (KJV) ¹²  Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV) ¹¹  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

As summer’s end draws closer, thoughts turn to the new school year and all the adventures it offers to each student, whether young or college age. And, yes, there are even adults who will be pursuing higher education this year.

However, along with the excitement of the new school year, comes the question on parents’ minds of how to ensure the safety of their children, given the tragedies of past decades. I hope to encourage you in this area.

Although I have prepared an extensive teaching on this matter, I have seriously tried to condense my message for this blog. So here goes.

First of all, God has so graciously provided all the protection we will ever need on planet earth and all His promises to us are YES! That puts us in good standing. But, then there’s our part. Even though God has provided, if we don’t do our part to partake of His provision, we won’t be any better off than unsaved people.

Every promise of God must be received by faith because faith is the way we access the power of God. And remember, faith doesn’t change God. He doesn’t need changing. Faith appropriates what God has already given. If He’s given it, then we can believe for it to manifest in our lives.

So, here’s what I suggest: pray the Word daily with your children and loved ones and even when they’re not home. Don’t just shoot up a prayer and hope it sticks. Pray with purpose!

Pray:

1 – Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

2 – Psalm 91:10-11 (KJV) ¹⁰  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. ¹¹  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

3 – Pray the entire Psalm 91.

4 – Declare your dominion over the devil and his evil works arrayed against you and your children in the Name of Jesus – the Name above all names!

Genesis 1:26 (KJV) ²⁶  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Philippians 2:9-11 (KJV) ⁹  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
¹⁰  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
¹¹  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

5 – Plead (apply) the Blood of Jesus over your loved ones daily.

6 – Pray in your prayer language (tongues) daily over your loved ones. We don’t know everything about every situation and praying in tongues gets right to the root of the situation. It’s praying the perfect prayer for every situation.

7 – Stand on  Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

8 – Don’t worry because worry is fear and fear will negate – cancel –  your faith-filled prayers.

One more thing. The promises of God are not automatic. Yes, they’ve been freely given to us but we must do the receiving. Use your faith and lock onto the promises of God and don’t let go. God is faithful, faithful, faithful and watches over His Word to perform it in your life!

Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP) ¹²  Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.
2 Chronicles 16:9a (KJV) ⁹  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV)
²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Releasing the Supernatural Power of God!

As born-again Christians, we desire to walk in the supernatural and manifest God’s power to a dying world. And rightly so. People need to see that we have something they don’t have but desperately need in their lives.

So, just what is it that we are to manifest that will cause the unsaved to sit up and take notice that we are different and serve a God who does exploits through us?

Do we have joy and peace in the midst of trials and tribulations or do we complain and bellyache the same way as our neighbors? Does our patience outlast the problems? Do we use our God-given authority and take dominion over the devil and his evil plans against us? Are we ready to lay hands on the sick and see recovery? Do we take our authority and use the power of God to overcome sickness and disease?

All of these questions should be answered “yes” if we’re in tune with the Holy Spirit and following His ways because He has come to manifest the Word of God and glorify Jesus. That’s what should be happening in our lives. However, many times we’re looking for the spectacular and miss the supernatural.

The Holy Spirit is constantly leading and guiding us into all TRUTH and magnifying Jesus. And isn’t that what we want – to magnify the Lord Jesus? When people get healed and set free, this glorifies the Lord and brings Him honor.

There’s a sick and dying world out there that needs to be introduce to Jesus and His Word. And just as He used signs, wonders, healing, and miracles to get the people’s attention, so should we (John 14:12). And once you have their attention, you have their ears. Tell them the Good News of the Gospel and give the glory to God! This is walking in the supernatural – doing the works of Jesus!

Romans 1:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
John 14:12 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John 16:13 (KJV) ¹³  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Mark 16:18 (KJV) ¹⁸  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Matthew 10:8 (KJV) ⁸  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

This question can provoke quite a controversy among certain groups of Christians. But I ask you, does God still heal today or is it all up to modern medicine?

I believe the answer is quite obvious according to God’s Word – YES! He still heals today! However, not all agree.

It has recently come to my attention, which I hadn’t really considered, that many Christians believe that the way God heals today is through the medical profession and only that way.

This is a sad and depressing way to live, relying on the medical profession, which is limited in what they can do. However, the Word is replete with scriptures declaring that it is indeed God’s will to heal – now and always. His answer is always yes – even though it might not look like it.

As I pondered this new information, I wondered why born-again Christians believe such nonsense about healing. I wondered just what it is that they don’t believe. As I continued thinking about this, I realized that many of those people believe God can heal but they just don’t know how to get it. So, they shoot up a prayer, hoping it sticks, and that they get their desired results. When that doesn’t happen quickly, they conclude that maybe it wasn’t God’s will in the first place. They automatically think it’s God’s fault, not even considering that they might have missed it somewhere. How utterly wrong that thinking is!

Remember, as I’ve said over and over, God’s Word always works and He always does His part. But, we also must do our part and that’s the receiving part. In Mark 16:17 Jesus tells us that as believers we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. That’s a given because those are the Words of the Master. Then in Mark 11:23-24 we see that we must believe that we receive when we pray.

One of the problems, however, is that many people quit before the manifestation of their healing. If they don’t get instant results, they doubt that healing is God’s will but then they go to the doctor to get help. If it’s not God’s will for them to be healed by God, why go to the doctor?

Healing for our entire body, emotions included, has been bought and paid for by the Lord Jesus in the atonement. It belongs to us. Don’t let the devil or the naysayers talk you out of it!

If you want God’s healing power working in your life, you need to study His Word and find out how to access it. It belongs to you!

Mark 16:17-18 (KJV) ¹⁷  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
¹⁸  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Mark 11:23-24 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Isaiah 53:5 (KJV) ⁵  But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) ²⁴  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Matthew 10:8 (KJV) ⁸  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Acts 10:38 (KJV)³⁸  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
John 14:12 (KJV) ¹²  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

I Peter 3:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
James 3:2 (KJV) ²  For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) ²¹  Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Wow! If we ever get hold of the importance of the words we speak, it would change our lives. Death and life are in the power of the tongue and we need to be aware of that constantly.

Peter tells us that if we want to love life and see good days, we need to watch the words we speak. We can’t speak negative words and expect positive results. And we certainly can’t speak contrary to God’s Word and expect His promises to manifest in our lives.

Then we see in James that the way we bridle and control our whole body is by the words we speak. In fact, we rarely do anything without first saying it. And if we want God’s promises to manifest in our lives, we have to speak His Word.

Words are the most powerful thing in the universe because everything God ever did or does is with Words. That’s how it was in the beginning and that’s how it is now. Remember, God and His Word are One and Jesus is the Word. Anywhere you look, you see God and His Word at work.

What you speak forth will get in your heart and what gets in your heart in abundance is what you will believe. Then when you speak, it will come forth with power and cause the desired results. This works not only in the positive but also in the negative.

You see, whatever words we speak, we are establishing in our lives. Our Words establish it because words are seeds that get planted in our hearts when we speak or confess them. That’s why it’s vitally important that we don’t go around stating or confessing what is already apparent in the natural realm because that doesn’t change things. It only establishes what already is!

Faith is the Law of Change. If we’re battling a sickness, we can’t continually confess or talk about how sick we are. That doesn’t change the circumstances. It establishes it in our hearts and lives. But if we confess God’s Word over the situation and speak to the sickness in Jesus’ Name, then we have God’s incorruptible Word working in our lives to change the circumstances to get us our desired results. (I Pet. 2:24; Isa 54:17; I Pet. 5:8-9)

Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to always back up His Word as we work it. What an awesome God we serve!

Romans 4:17b (KJV) ¹⁷  … even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Matthew 12:34b (KJV) ³⁴  … for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew 12:37 (KJV) ³⁷  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Genesis 1:3 (KJV) ³  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) ²⁴  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) ⁸  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
⁹  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

2 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV) ³  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
⁴  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (KJV) ²⁰  For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Oh the promises of God! How awesome that Almighty God would so graciously extend to us all that He has! What a life He intends for us! So, why aren’t we seeing His promises manifesting in our lives? Good question!

First of all, when God speaks, we should listen! He has said that all of His promises are for us and they’re always in the “yes” column! But, just because God has given, doesn’t mean we automatically receive. Receiving is not automatic.

Our problem is not with the Giver – God, but is with us – the receiver. Receiving anything from God is not automatic. Take salvation for example: God has given but not all receive because receiving is a choice and requires faith on our part. Faith activates the promises as we reach out and take hold on what God has already given.

Let’s use healing as another example. I Pet. 2:24 tells us that by the stripes of Jesus we were healed – past tense. This is a done deal. Healing has already been provided through the Lord Jesus but not everyone is healed – just look around!

It’s not God’s fault that people aren’t healed. He’s done His part so we’re the ones who have missed it somewhere on the receiving end.

Remember, faith activates the power of God and causes His promises to manifest in our lives: healing, deliverance, provision, protection, wholeness. etc. All of these have been provided for us but all are not walking in their inheritance.

We need to take God at His Word and take our places as sons and daughters of the Most High God. He loves us and wants us to partake of all He’s provided. That’s why He’s made every provision for us. He’s looking for those to whom He can show Himself strong (II Chronicles 16:9). Be one of those!

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) ²⁴  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

2 Chronicles 16:9 (KJV) ⁹  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
