According to Proverbs 4:20-23, God’s Words are LIFE! Jesus said, “…the words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are LIFE!” (John 6:63) He said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away!” (Mt. 24:35) The LIFE of God is in His Word! The LIFE of God is eternal, and His Word is eternal, liberating Truth! Every battle the devil brings to mankind is temporary, but the Word of God is eternal! That’s why Jesus said, “if you abide in My Words, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7)
The word ‘ask’ in that verse literally means to call forth! “Whatever you call forth in My Name shall be done for you!”That is exactly what Peter did at the gate beautiful when he said to the lame beggar, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6-7). Peter was abiding in the Words of Jesus, and those Words were abiding in him. He called forth healing and strength into the man’s feet and ankles and he rose up and walked for the first time in his life! Those were the words of life and those words were made flesh in the lame man!
Many have never experienced the Word of God being made flesh in their lives. Like this lame beggar, there’s always a first time! Many have never experienced divine healing before. Like the lame beggar, there’s always a first time! Many have not experienced the gifts of the Spirit. Like the lame beggar, there is always a first time! This lame man was the poster child for first time experiences in the Lord!
That same eternal Word of God declares that we are free from every sickness and disease, all pestilence and plagues, whether it be Covid-19 or any other demonic force! None of them have any legal right to be in our bodies or to lord over us!
LET THIS BE OUR CONFESSION TODAY (and every day):
Today, as I hear the Word of God, life is taking root in me! Light is pushing darkness out of me. I believe divine health, divine strength, divine protection and divine love are abiding in me because God’s Word abides in me. I speak His Words and they will not return to God empty, but they accomplish in me that which pleases God and the word of healing will prosper in me, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!!
With Love,
