God is so amazing! This morning, I awake feeling one step closer to recovering from whatever this stuff is that has been trying to attack my body. The reason? Two fold I believe, 1. Jesus is a healing God and 2. I took my rightful place and authority that God has given me through my relationship with Him and through His amazing living and active Word. Take a look at this acronym that God gave me for the word Miracle:
My
Initiative
Recalls
Authority
Causing
Life to
Exist
I guess I didn't really put together the fact that my initiative to confess the Word of God every day is what recalls the authority that Jesus has given me to cause life and not death in my body and in every area of my life! What an amazing revelation!
Luke 9:1-2, "When Jesus had called the Twelve together, He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick."
First of all we have to understand that Jesus gave us authority. Once we realize this we can walk with our heads high. I found myself yesterday as I do most days, not asking Jesus to heal me, because He already did that. Did you hear me? He already did that. He already did His part. He already died on the cross and gave us His Word and authority. I found myself speaking to the things that were going wrong in my body, telling them to line up with what Jesus already paid the price for. Silly? Not at all. I was telling my nerves and my nervous system and everything else going haywire to line up to the authority and the Word of God. I had to initiate my authority and it started to cause life to exist in my body and not death.
Proverbs 18:21, " The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."
Here we go again with what we SAY. We have to SAY and CONFESS the Word. That's where our authority lies and miracles happen! We find in Psalm 103:1-5 that we are having to make our souls bless the Lord. We are having to speak to our souls and remind our souls of God's amazing benefits. As we do that we are confessing and reminding our souls, our bodies, our minds and our spirits of all that God has already done. Again, us taking the initiative to recall authority causing life to exist in us!
One more scripture and then I will stop...for now! Psalm 107:19-20, " Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble (that's us, crying out, that would mean making some noise :), and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction."
I believe this is what God does for me everyday that I follow that acronym. He produces miracles in my life and delivers me from the destructive power of this world. And let me make this clear. I don't just have to spend 5 minutes in the morning doing this, most times, I have to keep at it all day. I have to keep confessing and reminding my body and the enemy where my authority lies. So don't give up if you don't see instant results. You can trust Him. Just take up your authority and watch God produce life in you!
