Hello dear ones!
During Jesus’ earthly ministry, Jesus gave His followers the same authority that He had. He said in Matthew 10:1, 7-8,
- And when Jesus had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness, and all kinds of disease…And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
He charged them with the responsibility to use His power correctly. This authority covered everything in the earthly realm, and when He was resurrected, it was expanded to include everything in heaven as well as under the earth. This power hasn’t diminished one bit over time, and God has now made it available to everyone on earth. Most people are unaware of this, but it doesn’t change the fact that we are responsible for ENFORCING GOD’S SPIRITUAL LAWS. The devil tries to limit us by keeping us ignorant of what has been given to us, but when we as believers realize how powerful we are in the Lord Jesus Christ, Satan will no longer be able to hold us down.
In Jesus, we have the power to take care of any disease or medical issue, just like the disciplies did. God has put this power under our control. This means we can command into existence in our lives whatever the Word says we can have. The commandment carries with it a promise, but it only operates by faith in what the Lord Jesus has already accomplished for us.
When we seek God’s kingdom first, everything we need will be added to us, according to Matthew 6:33. See, God’s kingdom operates according to His spiritual laws. It’s imperative that we delve into the Word to learn what those laws say about what our lives should be like and then enforce those laws.
Remember this: Whatever blessings we see in the physical realm originate from the spirit realm. Jesus provided all the power, but we have to “flip the switch” for the manifestation to take place.
Enforcing God’s spiritual laws today,
