Exercise Your Authority

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed". Isaiah 53:5

I often hear Christian say that it is the will of God for them to be sick. God is probably teaching them a lesson when they get ill. You need to know this and act on it today. It is not the will of God for His children to be sick and poor but the devil's. He has convinced people into believing that God is putting them to a test. Jesus bore our sicknesses so we wouldn't have to be sick. There's authority in the word of God and we must act on it. Christians don't know that they must apply the word of God in their lives. The Bible is not for the early Christians only; it is as valid today as it was 2000 years ago. You have to apply the Word of God to your life.

When you get sick or facing a financial challenge you have to cast it out by speaking the word of God. You have to fight with the Word and that is why it is so important that you know the Word, People perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). Jesus didn't suffered sickness on earth until He received every disease that could affect mankind on the cross. "He took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses" (Matthew 8:17). We don't have to beg for Healing. We are children of the most High God, and He already provided the medicine to our diseases and it up to us to exercise the power and claim the victory and rebuke the devil for we have the authority in Jesus name. As Jesus hung on the cross, He said, "It is finished" (John 19:30), it meant that God's plan for redemption was done. Jesus was the sacrifice. The work is done. You can have your miracles financial and physical and emotional; it is the will of God for you. The word of God is the will of God.

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick."(Luke 9:1-2)

"And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." (Matt. 10:1)

Praise the Lord!
