I have had this word so strong for someone the last 2 days.
I kept having a vision of a woman at the back of a crowd and she had a great need.
Well we all know the story of the woman with the issue of blood, don’t we? I thought about this woman. She must have been at least middle aged I would think, as she had had this problem for a long time. She had several things against her before she even started. One, she was a woman. She shouldn’t be up front with the men, so being at the back was “ok” to a lot of people. Two, the issue of blood would have made her weak I would think. Three, there was a crowd in between her and Jesus.
Let me say something here. She was seeking a healing, so there was a specific need.
When she saw Jesus she saw the source of her healing.
Whatever your need is today, He (Jesus) is the Source. It’s not a CD. It’s not a meeting. It’s not a ministry. It’s Him, Jesus. He is your Source. Whatever it is (your need) He is the One. If you need a word for direction or if you need healing or you need provision or maybe you need deliverance; He is the Provider, the Healer, the Deliverer, the Good Shepherd, the Savior, the Fount Of All Blessing. He is able to save to the uttermost (“From the gutter most to the uttermost,” a famous hymn writer once said).
When they needed more wine at the wedding (because they didn’t want to be ashamed) Mary said, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
So today my friend, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” He may tell you to get a certain CD, He may tell you to go to a certain meeting or read a particular book (He does use the body of Christ). He may tell you to sit, He may tell you to go, He may tell you to pray, He may tell you to sing, He may tell you to dance, but one thing I know; He is the Source, He is your Source.
Jesus was crucified on the cross naked and nakedness speaks of need. He crucified your need so that you can live in His provision. God doesn’t get glory in your need, although He loves you and is wild about you; but He does get glory when your needs are met and you share in His life with Him.
Whether you like it or not you are His advertisement. And guess what? He is a very good God and a very gracious and loving and generous and extravagant God. And He is your Daddy. He is mighty God but He is also “Abba” (Daddy).
Well this little lady at the back of the crowd got a revelation about Jesus and when she saw the source of her healing, do you know what she did? The Bible said, “She pushed through the crowd.”
For a lady to push (or a man for that matter); that’s not very polite is it? “The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.”
Some people sit at the back of the crowd and have an attitude, “Well if Jesus wants to heal me, He knows where I am.”
Well yes He does, but you also have to receive something that He has already provided. And do you know there is most always a crowd in the way between you and your receiving?
So what are you gonna do with your crowd? Be intimidated? Say, “Well He knows where I live if He wants to fill me with the Holy Spirit.”
No. No. Sometimes you have to push! “Excuse me! I need to get through here!”
And the lady pushed people out of the way!
How rude! There isn’t time to let your little politeness keep you out of the way. Sometimes they are not in the truth anyway. You can please men and miss God. You can submit to men and not do what God is telling you to do.
Some sweet Christians have a spirit of rebellion because they please men and don’t obey God. If you obey God sometimes you are like the salmon swimming upstream.
“Get out of the way!” And she touched the hem of His garment and “Wow!” She got blasted and got healed. She touched Jesus with a violence because He felt virtue go out of Him.
“Who touched Me?”
Sounds very Jewish.
What do you mean, “Who touched you? Look at this big crowd.”
You have to be determined to touch Him. What is your crowd? Your family? Your busy lifestyle? Your church perhaps, their opinions? But you need to push through the crowd, your crowd.
What do you want? It’s ok to ask.
There is no point in God making every provision for us and we don’t receive it. It sounds spiritual to say, “We are just seeking Him?” There is a certain truth to that but on the other hand, He provided for you everything you could possibly ask or even think of in your entire life.
He wants people to say, “Look at those Christians. What do they have that they are so radiant and so blessed?”
I have heard people get upset when they have been prayed for. “He pushed me!”
Sometimes you need to be pushed.
When Peter and John offered prayer for healing for the crippled man at the gate “Beautiful”, it says “They pulled him up.”
Suppose He had said, “Well I don’t know if I will receive this healing because they pulled me? Maybe it wasn’t God.”
How ridiculous. We are so religious sometimes.
Like the man who was drowning and someone threw him a life raft. He said, “No, I am waiting for God to save me.”
Well go ahead and drown then. God mostly uses people.
I believe we are going to face some days ahead where human options will dwindle but we are not alone in this world for we can partner with angels and must partner with the angels in this time.
Now more than ever it is mandatory for you to learn how to partner with the angels who are standing by ready to help, guide, protect and deliver blessings to you.
I want to share with you important information on how to activate angels I received from Sid Roth’s website, “It’s Supernatural!”. You can view the program where Sid interviewed Ron Phillips and they discuss how angels operate with us. Here’s the link: http://www.sidroth.org/site/News2?abbr=tv_&page=NewsArticle&id=8913.
Activate angels:
1) Angels are activated by faith. The angel of God went before the children of Israel to lead the way when they left Egypt because they believed they were going somewhere.
2) Angels are activated by the Word of God. Jesus said, “Say to this mountain,…” When you speak to the difficulties in your life by faith, angels immediately respond to the believer who speaks forth the promises and the Word of God. There is nothing stronger than that.
On the contrary don’t speak wrong words contrary to the Word of God. “Don’t tell the angel you didn’t mean to say it.” (Ecclesiastes 5:6) It also says in that same scripture because of your wrong words the angels destroy the works of your hands. You need to be careful what comes out of your mouth. Let the promises of God and the Word of God and right words come out of your mouth.
3) Angels are activated by prayer. Revelation 5, 8 the altar of incense where the angels are, it represents in the ancient temple tabernacle the prayers of the saints. The angels convey our prayers in their hands to the Father. We don’t pray to angels. We pray to the Lord Jesus our Messiah, to Yahweh our God and our heavenly Father by the power of the Holy Spirit. And since our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, when the Word and the worship and the prayer begin to roll out of our spirit angels are activated and begin to move just like they did when Isaiah was in the Holy of Holy because there is no veil between us and God and heaven now. And they are activated that way in your life.
4) They move on miracle ground where Kingdom operation is going on. When we begin to believe in the supernatural they show up.
Pray and declare these words to activate the angels in your life:
Father God, I ask that your supernatural presence come into this room right now. I pray that the angelic activity will begin around about me now. I sense your powerful presence. I pray you fill me with the Holy Spirit of the Living God. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I declare there are angels operating in the temple of my life. Lord, I ask that you command these angels to bring in my harvest, to help me in my healing and receive miracles for my body, to give me direction, to protect the resources that are behind me and before me and help them to walk before me in all the ways of my life. Give me your supernatural heavenly language that will build me up and strengthen me. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving me utterance as I move my lips for I believe the utterance will come out of my spirit as you, Holy Spirit, give me utterance. I yield my tongue to you now so you can speak through me. I allow the flow to begin. The fruit of the spirit is joy, Father, let the joy angels begin to come around and let the music of heaven begin in my heart. Let me know the Holy Spirit is with me but also the heavenly angels are with me and I am not alone, in Jesus’ name.
Allow the heavenly language to flow to bring you true rest in your spirit. “With trembling lips and stammering tongue God will speak to his people,” the prophesy of Isaiah and quoted in 1 Corinthians 14. And He says, “This is the rest with which I will rest you.” Angels want us to rest and they bring us strength and rest and tongues brings rest to our spirit.
Angels are sent to serve you and to help make your work easy and make you work smarter. Angels take the weariness out of your life and add joy to it. You can have joy all of the time no matter where you are because you are not alone. Angels will turn your life around with favor.
Father God wants, desires the angels to be activated in your life to supernaturally serve you, the heir of salvation, in these end time days when you must take hold of your spiritual, heavenly inheritance out of the heavenly realm.

What if Jesus had never been born? What difference would it make in the world and in our own individual lives?
As Christians we know Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and ascension has made an eternal difference in our lives but what other answers could we give to this most important question, “What if Jesus never was born?”
I want to give you some answers to that most important question in this blog, but I am hoping after reading this blog that you pause and consider this question yourself. I know you will find, as I did, you will appreciate the Lord’s coming into this earth and want to worship Him and give Him thanks. So here are some of the answers I want to give you for that very important question, “What if Jesus never was born?”
- Obviously we would not have Christmas to celebrate Jesus’ birth and His life.
- There would be no celebration of Easter for Christ’s resurrection.
- Obviously there would be no New Testament in our Bibles (Pause and think about that and give God praise for this New Testament written with Jesus’ blood!).
- Obviously there would be no dispensation of the grace of God, no forgiveness of all sins of all mankind but instead all of mankind would be facing the wrath of God for their sins and eternal punishment.
- There would be no revelation of Father God and His great love for all of mankind through His Son Jesus Christ.
- There would be no beatitudes and all the rest of the teachings of Christ that have impacted mankind for over 2,000 years.
- There would be no Holy Spirit (the Comforter, Helper, Strengthener, Standby and Advocate) living in believers and impacting this world.
- There would be no presence of the Kingdom of God and its influences on this earth.
- There would be no all powerful name of Jesus.
- There would be no stripes laid on Jesus’ body for the divine healing and divine health for all mankind.
- There would be no defeat of sin, spiritual death and physical death.
- There would be no defeat of Satan and all other spiritual enemies.
- There would be no covenant with God through Jesus Christ.
- There would be no peace of God in believer’s lives that passes all understanding.
- There would be no joy of the Lord that gives believers strength.
- There would be no presence of the unconditional love of God.
- There would be no unlimited miracles, signs and wonders to follow believers.
- There would be no Church, no followers of Christ to impact this world with the Gospel of the Kingdom and all they have done as ambassadors for Christ to change this world for good:
There would be none of their inventions, discoveries and their writings; there would be no birth of a formal system of education and Christian institutions of learning; there would be no teachings of the Kingdom that makes for a moral, godly world; there would be no hospitals and proper health care and no Red Cross; there would be no revolutionary idea of the equality of man, the need to abolish slavery and the liberation of women from a second-class status; there would be no Mothers & Fathers Day; there would be no “Gabriel Project” for crisis pregnancy counseling service and thus there would be no one to stand up for the rights of unborn children; there would be no one to stand up for the institution of marriage between a man & a woman; there would be no Salvation Army and lack of humanitarian aid going on throughout the world; there would be no discovery of America in 1492 and no pilgrims coming to America for religious freedom that impacted the forming of this nation of America; there would be no godly men writing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America filled with godly principles; there would be no Christian programming on TV, no Christian movies and no Christian influence in the arts; there would be no Christian literature and Christian books; there would be no Christian influence in the media (Paul Harvey and multitudes of others); there would be no Christian influence in the government to put this nation, America, back on course for a better nation for all (Abraham Lincoln and numerous others); there would be no Christian influence in education (teaching of morality and the teaching of Creation to prove the falsity of Evolution); there would be no Christian influence in the religious community; there would be no Christian influence in the family; there would be no Christian influence in the military where men and women face death every single day and their families face uncertainties and untold grief; there would be no Christian influence in the financial institutions; there would be no godly counselors; there would be no intercessors to bring God’s will to a hurting world; and last but not least there would be no pastors, teachers, apostles, prophets, and evangelists who have tremendously changed the lives of multitudes (Billy Graham and others faithful to their calling in Christ).
I could list more and more of the influence the body of Christ has had in this world by the Christ who lives in them and they allow to flow through them.
I could make a list of my own, as I am sure you could as well, of the Christians who have impacted your life by the Christ who lives in them; of which we are eternally grateful.
To further impact your thinking of why Jesus came I want to include what Jesus Himself told us why He came:
Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. KJV
Luke 9:56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them [from the penalty of eternal death]. AMP
John 10:10 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). AMP
John 12:46 I have come as a Light into the world, so that whoever believes in Me [whoever cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me] may not continue to live in darkness. AMP
Here are some other scriptures showing us why Jesus was born,
John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me. KJV
1 John 3:8 The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. AMP
Heb 2:9-3:1 But we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God [to us sinners] He might experience death for every individual person. 10 For it was an act worthy [of God] and fitting [to the divine nature] that He, for Whose sake and by Whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons into glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect [should bring to maturity the human experience necessary to be perfectly equipped for His office as High Priest] through suffering. 11 For both He Who sanctifies [making men holy] and those who are sanctified all have one [Father]. For this reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren; 12 For He says, I will declare Your [the Father's] name to My brethren; in the midst of the [worshiping] congregation I will sing hymns of praise to You. 13 And again He says, My trust and assured reliance and confident hope shall be fixed in Him. And yet again, Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me. 14 Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death — that is, the devil — 15 And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives. 16 For, as we all know, He [Christ] did not take hold of angels [the fallen angels, to give them a helping and delivering hand], but He did take hold of [the fallen] descendants of Abraham [to reach out to them a helping and delivering hand]. 17 So it is evident that it was essential that He be made like His brethren in every respect, in order that He might become a merciful (sympathetic) and faithful High Priest in the things related to God, to make atonement and propitiation for the people’s sins. 18 For because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering]. AMP
Let’s be thankful we know JESUS and know why He came and let’s celebrate every single day His life, His anointing, His presence, His power and His glory in our lives.
To truly understand personally the importance of the birth of Jesus, His life, His death and His resurrection, I offer an book/e book on my website, http://www.godswordalive.com/package_page.html entitled “In Him We Live, Move & Have Our Being”. Here is a description of the book/e book:
In Him We Live, Move & Have Our Being let’s you know you don’t have to carry around another day that old dead, stinking, carnal man. Through over 186 In Him scriptures and powerful revealing scripture confessions this book/e-book reveals the new life in Christ Jesus. As you read The Liberty Jesus Secured for You by His Death, Burial & Resurrection, you will receive revelation of the liberty you now possess as a result of Christ’s finished work and realize you no longer have to rely on your own works to secure the Father’s unconditional love, divine healing and divine health, your eternal security, justification, and more. The book/e-book contains Heaven’s Death Certificate for the Old Man so you can fill it out and know for sure the old man was buried with Christ and you’re truly a new man alive in Christ Jesus. Scriptures and faith confessions of your new man in Christ will empower you to think, speak and act out of this new man in Christ.
Here in America we observe Thanksgiving Day. This is a time to reflect back and give thanks to God for all He has done for us and the promise of His presence in our future.
Thanksgiving is a part of our action in faith. Giving thanks in our faith walk with Him we are actually declaring we already have it, we already possess it, we already are living in that prayer, dream, desire, etc.
Rom 4:19-22 And because his faith was strong, he didn’t worry about the fact that he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred, and that Sarah his wife, at ninety, was also much too old to have a baby. 20 But Abraham never doubted. He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even before it happened. 21 He was completely sure that God was well able to do anything he promised. TLB
Have you remembered and given thanks to God for all He has done for you just this year or how about last week? Give Him thanks right now before you forget it!
Have you ever felt His unconditional love when you didn’t deserve it? Then stop and give Him thanks right now!
Have you given the Lord thanks for the times He spoke to you and gave you direction when you were at the end of your rope and didn’t know what to do or say? Give Him thanks right now before you forget it!
Have you given Him thanks lately for coming through for you in those hard times of financial difficulties, health problems, and difficult relationships, etc.? He deserves it so give Him thanks right now before you forget it!
Have you given God praise and thanks for working things out when you were afraid, afraid of losing your job, afraid for your children, and afraid of the loss of your home, etc. and He worked it all out? Don’t delay; give Him praise and thanks for He deserves it right now!
Have you thanked Him lately because He is love, He is good, He is merciful, He is righteous, He is holy, His Word is always good so you can stand in faith on it? Stop right now and give Him praise for there’s nobody else like that in your life!
Have you given God thanks and praise lately for all He has promised you in the bible and by His spirit because He had you on His mind and thanked Him because He has already planned out your life in victory? It’s time to give Him thanks for it all!
Have you given Him thanks for all the prayers He has answered and all the dreams and desires fulfilled? There’s no better time than to do it right now!
Have you given Him thanks for meeting you in that quiet, secret place where He talks with you and you talk with Him in a love and peaceful atmosphere His presence creates every time when you get alone with Him? Give Him praise and thanks right now for this is awesome to encountering the Living God.
We need to give thanks every single day we know God personally and that we know He knows us and loves us unconditionally. Give thanks for your personal relationship with Him right now.
I couldn’t begin to list for you all the reasons why you need to give God thanks but I hope this will cause you to see that you do have many reasons to give Him thanks and praise and that you will take the time to do it.
Ps 42:5 Why am I so sad? Why am I so troubled? I will put my hope in God, and once again I will praise him, my savior and my God. TEV
If we don’t give thanks then we will be complaining, remain frustrated, worried, stressed out and defeated.
It really does something to your soul when you praise and give thanks to God for who He is and what He has done for you. It gives a sense of peace and expectation. It brings the true security you are looking for in this world. Thanksgiving is not for God alone but really the benefits of thanksgiving will make a lasting, glorious affect on your life as well. See God doesn’t need your thanks as much as you need to be thankful. Anything you do to give honor and glory to God will benefit you as well.
When the bible tells us to give thanks unto the Lord, it is because He is worthy of all praise and thanksgiving. There is no one worthy of praise and thanksgiving like our God.
Get in practice for eternity now! Don’t allow another hour, day, month or year go by without giving God the praise and thanksgiving He deserves for all He has done in you, for you and through you.
Let’s not remain ungrateful another day, hour, month or year. Let’s not allow the problems of life crowed out our faith and praise and thanksgiving to our God. I am telling you today when you remember and give thanks and praise to Him that is when you will find yourself relaxing in His presence and power and then fear and worry will flee away in the presence of Peace Himself, answers and wisdom will come and drown out confusion and despair in His presence, scriptures of comfort and words of the Spirit will come to refresh you, and loneliness will be a thing of your past.
We don’t need a day declared “Thanksgiving Day” to give thanks; for every single day we live we have good reason to give thanks to the Most High God.
Take some time right now and every day to give God praise and thanks.
Ps 136:1-15 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever. 4 to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. 5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. 6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. 7 who made the great lights — His love endures forever. 8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever. 9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever. 10 to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt His love endures forever. 11 and brought Israel out from among them His love endures forever. 12 with a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever. 13 to him who divided the Red Sea asunder His love endures forever. 14 and brought Israel through the midst of it, His love endures forever. 15 but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea; His love endures forever. 16 to him who led his people through the desert, His love endures forever. 17 who struck down great kings, His love endures forever. 18 and killed mighty kings — His love endures forever. 19 Sihon king of the Amorites His love endures forever. 20 and Og king of Bashan — His love endures forever. 21 and gave their land as an inheritance, His love endures forever. 22 an inheritance to his servant Israel; His love endures forever. 23 to the One who remembered us in our low estate, His love endures forever. 24 and freed us from our enemies, His love endures forever. 25 and who gives food to every creature. His love endures forever. 26 Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever. NIV
It is wrong for you to say, “All I need is a little more money. Money is the answer to all my problems. I would be happy if I had a little more money. If I had more money I wouldn’t be so stressed.”
Saying things like that means you have made money your source and the answer to all of your problems.
Check yourself out, when you have a need what is the first thing that you think?
Most would answer, “If I only had more money. I just need more money.”
Whether you realize it or not saying things like that you are looking to money as your source and not God.
That is what Jesus was teaching in Luke, trusting in unrighteous mammon versus trusting God.
Here’s what happens with lots of Christians. They say what they need is more money, making money their source. Then they hear biblical principles of tithing and sowing and reaping. They think what they need is more money, making money their source. So they look to God and apply the biblical principles of tithing and sowing and reaping, expecting God to supply them with more of what they want which is more money. They don’t realize what they are doing is making money their source and making God their servant to get the money.
The devil and his world system works overtime to make us believe money is our source so that when we apply the Kingdom principles of tithing, sowing and reaping we make God our servant instead of our Source.
We must repent and start believing what the bible tells us that God is our Source and money is our servant.
To activate the power of the anointing working on your behalf it would be to your advantage if you would declare continually, every day, “God is my Source and money is my servant.”
You must believe God gives you the power to get wealth and it is God and not money who supplies all of your needs. You must come to realize it is the anointing, the power of the Kingdom of God, that you need more of to bring increase to you rather than money which is the lesser power, the power of this world.
This is the revelation you must have and act on to activate the power of the anointing in your behalf right now. So trust in the anointing to be your source no matter how bad things look and declare again, “God is my Source and money is my servant.”
Looking to money as your source, things are only going to get worse because God’s hands are tied since you are leaning on the arm of flesh.
Jesus goes on further into this contest of mammon against God in your everyday life.
Luke 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” NKJV
The one you serve with your life is the one who you will look to as your source. When you serve money you spend your whole life working, trying to earn more money. That’s when money becomes your master. That’s when you don’t ask God for your assignment he has given you in the earth and doing it because you have to work a job to make more money because you are looking to money and believe money is the answer to all your problems and money is your source. When money is your source you then become a servant to money and you have to spend all of your days trying to make a living.
When you make God your Source then you will be serving God, operating in your God given assignment, operating in the principles of God and operating out of His Kingdom. God then provides every need whether it be money or other necessary things you need, want and desire because money is not your source.
God is your Source and the answer to all things in your life.
Here’s a powerful confession to declare the power of the anointing over your life:
What I need is more of the anointing of God in my life to see continual increase financially and in every way. The anointing goes far beyond what money can do for me. The anointing empowers me for financial increase and wealth and pays my bills. The anointing eliminates debt from my life since Jesus, the Anointed One, is my Jubilee. The anointing brings me favor, promotions and creative ideas and witty inventions for wealth. The anointing makes me an invaluable employee. The anointing creates incredible prosperity for my business even when there are ups and downs in the economy. The anointing heals my body and releases divine health. The anointing delivers me from all fear, all stress, all worry, all insecurities and gives me value and worth.

What’s up with all the fine print?
Most of the advertisements you find in sales inserts in the newspaper there’s fine print. You see them in the magazines and even when you’re watching TV, here comes the commercial with, yes, again the fine print.
Maybe like myself you see a big sale going on at a particular store and you see what you have been looking for on sale and they are promising even a big bonus but then, yes, again there is the fine print and when you check out the fine print the bonus was only on a few listed items and not the one you wanted to purchase. It’s all just a gimmick to get you and me to the sale.
You find it also with the advertisements they do on TV about a certain drug. They tell you how wonderful this drug is and what it can do for you and, yes, again there is that fine print telling all the bad side effects that come with that drug that could cause you to have a heart attack or cause liver damage, etc.. The side effects are sometimes worse than the symptoms or illness for which you are taking the drug in the first place.
I laughed the other day, here was a commercial promising you this life insurance coverage that seemed really fantastic for the elderly but, yes, there it was again the fine print. I said, “There it is again, the fine print that says everything they just said in the commercial doesn’t apply.”
To me the fine print cancels out what they just promised you. They just lied to you in some way or another in the fine print attached.
To me the “fine print” in commercials, legal documents, etc. is another way of saying, “Well I said this but this is what I really meant and so I can get out of anything I have just said in this commercial or this legal document.”
My response is, “Where’s the character and honesty in this society today? Where’s the hand shake that makes everything final? Doesn’t anyone want to tell the truth anymore instead of hiding what they really meant in fine print?”
Well, I found one reliable source and that’s the Word of God that gives me over 700 promises. If you look at these 700 promises I guarantee you won’t find the find print because there is no fine print! THAT MAKES IT ALL BELIEVEABLE!!! There are even promises made to a thousand generations. There are promises even made in the Old Covenant that are still good for me living in the New Covenant without the fine print! SOME ONE NEEDS TO SHOUT, “HALLELUJAH BESIDES ME!”
Have you looked at the salvation promises, the healing promises or the eternal security promises in Christ lately? There is no fine print to be found. It’s a guarantee to anyone who will receive the promise as their own. That means you now can securely base your life on them and even your eternal security.
NOW THAT’S PRETTY FANTASTIC!!!! I DON’T HAVE TO QUESTION ANYONE OF THOSE PROMISES IF THEY WILL HOLD UP IN THE COURTS OF HEAVEN WHEN I MAKE MY CONFESSION OF FAITH IN THEM AND I CAN PUT MY FULL TRUST IN THEM FULFILLING IN MY LIFE WHAT WAS PROMISED!!!! GLORY HALLELUJAH! I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING ON THIS EARTH I CAN TRUST IN, RELY ON AND DEPEND ON WHILE I AM IN THIS EARTH FOR IT CONTAINS NO FINE PRINT!!! THANK YOU FATHER! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!
I have even found the divine healing and divine health scripture promises do not have the fine print you find with most drugs sold today. THERE JUST ISN’T ANY FINE PRINT! THAT MEANS IT’S ALL TRUE! I CAN TRUST THESE PROMISES FOR DIVINE HEALING AND DIVINE HEALTH THE REST OF MY DAYS ON THIS EARTH!! NO FINE PRINT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! GET EXCITED!
That is why for over thirty years my family and I could depend on divine healing and divine health and not have to go to the system that has all the fine print on their drugs, sign all those legal documents at the hospital or be bothered with going to a doctor that practiced medicine on me and sign even more documents with, yes again, the fine print.
It’s all a system of fine prints so who if anybody can trust it? That’s why we have to switch to the Kingdom of God system where there is 700 promises made to us with no fine print since Jesus’ blood guarantees it all.
Do you see why you can now trust every Word God has promised you in this New Covenant in Christ? All 700 promises God made in the bible? THERE IS NO FINE PRINT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, JUST NO FINE PRINT TO HAVE TO READ AND SEE IF YOU HAVE FULL COVERAGE! HALLELUJAH, FATHER, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT!
Num 23:19 19 God is not like men, who lie; He is not a human who changes his mind. Whatever he promises, he does; He speaks, and it is done. TEV
Numbers 23:19 God is no mere human! He doesn’t tell lies or change his mind. God always keeps his promises. CEV
Did you see any fine print in those scriptures? NONE WHATSOEVER!
That’s why we can speak the Word of God only, contrary to what circumstances tell us, the Word must come to pass because it is what God has spoken about us through Jesus Christ!
Not one Word of God is void of power. Why? Because it is the TRUTH. It is the truth about you in Christ Jesus. There is not one lie contained in it.
It is the truth about you 24/7 and for the rest of your life because God, who cannot lie, promised it and Jesus’ blood purchased it and guarantees it. So hold on to your faith in every Word of God until you see the promises manifested!
Heb 4:12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; AMP
Why is God’s Word full of power; but it is truth, there is not one part of it that is a lie or has the fine print! GLORY BE TO JESUS, THE GUARANTEE OF IT ALL!
The Word of God is the truth about you so you should start believing it instead of all the fine print documents of this world and all your lying symptoms and circumstances that speak against the promises of God to you.
Here are some more of God’s promises you need to check out and see for yourself they contain no fine print:
1 Peter 2:24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree[as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. AMP
2 Cor 8:9 For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied). AMP
Heb 13:5-6 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not,[I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down ( relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!] 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me? AMP
1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. KJV
John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] AMP
Heb 6:11-20 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.KJV
Gal 3:13-14 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); 14 To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit. 29 And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham's Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise. AMP
Rom 3:19-31 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.KJV
It really makes me angry to see how the body of Christ is being taken advantage of by the health care of this world’s system. The devil has used this system to take control of their health as well as their finances.
I pray for a revelation of the healing that was provided for all of them by the broken body of our precious Lord Jesus, which can remove any and every sickness, disease, and infirmity.
The Word of God has given us an alternative to this world’s system of health care and we need to make the switch.
Jesus told us to remember what He did for us so that we can make the switch,
1 Cor 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. KJV
Jesus told us to remember. When we remember, we are to see ourselves at that whipping post with Jesus and see ourselves receiving the healing that is flowing to us. It’s like the children of Israel when they looked at the snake that was placed on the post they were healed of the plague. Jesus was placed on that cross so He could purchase our total salvation package that includes healing and wholeness for our bodies no matter what the infirmity. So every day we need to bring to our remembrance Jesus’ sacrifice so we can every day receive the divine healing and health care that comes with no cost to us. Just be sure and thank Jesus for paying the cost, the cost of laying His precious body on that whipping post. I am telling you, if you are a Christian, you need to see Jesus lying on that post to pay the price for your divine healing and health. If you don’t, you won’t ever receive the benefits of Jesus’ health care package that far exceeds anything this world has to offer you.
Here are some scriptures to help you go to that place and receive right now, today divine healing and health. Go there with the eye of faith and see yourself receiving the healing that freely flows to you and heals your body now. There is enough power in each of these scriptures to heal you and make you whole today, right now. These scriptures can be your medicine and can also be taken with prescribed medicine and you will see much better results. Here’s some medicine for you to take, so open your mouth and speak these powerful healing scriptures over your body and receive the power contained in these scriptures to heal you now.
1 Peter 2:24 He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree[as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed. AMP
Gal 3:13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); AMP (The curse is anything that kills, steals and destroys.)
These are not just scriptures; this is your divine health care from heaven! We can’t leave them on the coffee table any longer. These scriptures are the very Word from God and they have enough power in them to heal and deliver from any sickness and disease and infirmity.
Heb 4:12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective] AMP
I’m telling you there is enough power in that scripture alone to heal you. I have used this Word as my medicine so many times you couldn’t tell me there is no power in that Word. I took this scripture as medicine, opening up my mouth and declaring it over my body like this: The Word that God speaks is alive and full of power in this body. The Word of God is operating in this body. The Word of God is energizing this body. The Word of God is effective in this body now; bringing divine healing and divine health to this body now.
Here’s another scripture to encourage you to partake of this divine health care package from heaven:
Prov 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. KJV
KJV “Footnote: Health = Medicine“
I want to speak out for Christ! He laid His precious body on that whipping post to be whipped with numerous stripes in order that we could have an alternative to that world’s system. This world’s system is practicing medicine and gives you no real guarantee that you will fully recover but just continues to prescribe more and more medicine that results in side affects and results in medications working against each other.
I am so tired of seeing people, God’s people, relying on a system that has no guarantees!
I personally have no faith in this system for myself for I have learned there is another alternative and that is the divine health care of God, heaven’s health care. My family and I have not had a doctor bill, hospital bill nor taken medicine for over 30 years, for we have taken God’s Word as our medicine. We have saved lots of money, saved time and we have been saved from a lot of heartache. Thank you, my precious Lord Jesus!
A lot of Christians don’t know this but the precious Holy Spirit can be your Physician. Isn’t that what the bible calls Him, the “Great Physician.” So many Christians quickly pop a pill, run to the doctor or to the hospital when they are sick or have any pain. And there inside of them is the best Physician there is in this world. I know what I am talking about. I have had some symptoms come on my body and instead of running off to this world’s system to get healed I just wait. I wait for the Holy Spirit and He has told me what was wrong and how to handle it. He knows what can bring things on. He made the body so He knows what you should eat and not eat. Every person is different and He is an Expert with expert diagnosis and solutions for each individual. I am telling you, I just couldn’t go back to that world’s system ever again. I am so secure in my health care package Jesus purchased for me. I plan to use it till Jesus comes or I go to be with Him. It is so wonderful to get up each morning without pain and sickness and disease and know my health care is in Him.
I am so passionate about reaching Christians with this message of God’s health care. The Lord told me to publish a book/e book, “God’s Health Care,” so that others can take God’s Word as their medicine. I have included with the scriptures declarations you can speak over your body. See you take God’s Word, God’s medicine, by the mouth just as you do prescription drugs. You open your mouth and you declare the Word of God over your body. You are simply declaring what God has already declared about your health through Christ and it carries with it the power of God, which you will feel working if you stick with it. This is not something that you are going to just try and see if it works. It’s like prescription drugs; you continue to declare the Word until you get the results it guarantees. Christ is the guarantee. One word from God can change your health forever.
There are many advantages to using this medicine; it simply costs nothing, Jesus paid the price; you can’t overdose; and you won’t have any side affects. You can take it right along with the prescription drugs and see a marked difference right away.
Let me know of your healing testimonies. I can’t wait to hear what the Lord has done for I know He will be faithful to bring divine healing and health to you just as He promised.

Here is a description of my book/e book, “God’s Health Care“:

“God’s Health Care” is a book/e-book you need to have and refer back to again and again so you become more aware of God’s health care plan that is available to you and start receiving its benefits and stop worrying about other programs and avoid their unreasonable costs.

In Him We Live, Move & Have Our Being let’s you know you don’t have to carry around another day that old dead, stinking, carnal man. Through over 186 In Him scriptures and powerful revealing scripture confessions this book/e-book reveals the new life in Christ Jesus. As you read The Liberty Jesus Secured for You by His Death, Burial & Resurrection, you will receive revelation of the liberty you now possess as a result of Christ’s finished work and realize you no longer have to rely on your own works to secure the Father’s unconditional love, divine healing and divine health, your eternal security, justification, and more. The book/e-book contains Heaven’s Death Certificate for the Old Man so you can fill it out and know for sure the old man was buried with Christ and you’re truly a new man alive in Christ Jesus. Scriptures and faith confessions of your new man in Christ will empower you to think, speak and act out of this new man in Christ.

What have you ever deserved from the Lord? NOTHING!
How much of the kingdom of God have you purchased? NONE OF IT!
How much of God’s goodness have you merited? NOT A BIT OF IT!
How much of God’s kingdom are you freely & entitled to? ALL OF IT!
Let us stay mindful of the reality that everything that we receive(d) from God & His kingdom is entirely & eternally a gift!
As a gift, God’s blessing in our life is from Him, by Him, because of Him!
We deserved nothing, earned nothing, merited nothing from God, and yet He provided salvation & everything that goes with it, out of the ‘graceness’ (a play on the word, greatness) of His heart & will!
The Holy Trinity worked in tandem to provide everything that pertains to life & godliness for every person that calls upon Jesus as Lord!
As the ‘Redemption Team’, they all contributed to our salvation that shall never fail nor fade!
The Heavenly Father thought it, Jesus wrought it, & the Holy Spirit brought it!
All of salvation is totally a gift!
Eternal life is a gift: righteousness is a gift: holiness is a gift: being sealed by the Spirit is a gift: the divine nature within us is a gift: the love of God is a gift: the anointing of God upon us is a gift: being seated in Heavenly places is a gift: healing is a gift of Calvary: the presence of God in us is a gift: and on & on….
The more we recognize & realize the ‘giftiness’ of God that we’ve been blessed with, the more we appreciate it, & the freer we become in it!
We are born-again, because Abba, Father, wanted His children restored to Him!
We’re cleansed from sin by the blood of Jesus because the Holy Trinity yearned to be in fellowship & relationship with each of us!
The Holy Spirit dwells within us to seal us as God’s children & servants, so that Heaven can manifest in the Earth, in us, among us, & through us!
God freely, fully, & forever justified the ungodly, changing our status with Him forever, & we had nothing to do with it!
Everything that we possess from God is a total & eternal gift!
God made the unacceptable acceptable, not through what we did, but through what He Himself did, via the sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary, & by the indwelling of the Spirit of Holiness in every Christian!
I am freely, fully, & forever-ly a child of my daddy, the Heavenly Father!
I am born-again of Him, not by the works or will of man, but by the works & will of God!
Am I free to sin? NO! I am free from sin, by being a partaker of the divine nature!
If & when I sin in the natural, I may be challenging people’s perception of my ‘conditional righteousness’ in their eyes & opinions, but I cannot tamper with my positional righteousness, which is who & what I am in God!
Who & what I am in God has nothing to do with what I do or don’t do, but is anchored in what Jesus did for me legally at Calvary, & what the Holy Spirit does literally in through the new-birth!
As the Scripture above asks, the work & fruit of salvation that the Holy Spirit implemented within our spirit & life, can we maintain it by works of the flesh? NO!
As the Scripture says in the New Testament & Gospels of Jesus that which is done by the flesh amounts to fleshliness, & that which is done by the Spirit is spiritual!
We have spiritual perfection dwelling in us! We can’t add anything to it, nor take away from it, but we can yield to it, & allow it to lead us in righteousness!
Because I know that all of my salvation is a gift provided to me willingly & joyfully by Daddy, my big brother Jesus, & by my keeper, the Holy Spirit, I am convinced that they are consumed by love for me, & as I feed on fellowship with Them, I am in turn consumed by love for them!
As a result, their gifts to me are causing my life to become a dedicated gift to them!
Nope, I earned nothing from God, & have settled that issue in my mind & heart.
Therefore, I am a gift from them, in them, for them, & to them!
Thank you Daddy, you sure make nice gifts!
Faith is the lifestyle of God and must be your lifestyle as a Christian so that you live on a higher level than just a carnal, natural life lifestyle, which is subject to trial and error and has no guarantee of success.
Rom 1:16-17 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. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. KJV
Faith is your way of life and is not to be used just as a parachute for emergencies. Without faith you will be surviving like those without Christ, depending on your own abilities and human resources.
Faith is always now and so when you speak in faith you can never speak of things happening in the future tense. Speak of things as already done because faith has no time because faith is of God and God has no time. You are healed now. You are prosperous now. You govern time now and you control time now by faith. Things that would take time, like a broken bone to heal, will take no more time because faith is shortening the time now for you.
Faith is a spiritual law that is a higher law than any natural law on the earth. The law of faith can take time forwards or backwards. Have you been behind on your bills? Then declare, “My bills are all paid in full now,” so that the law of faith can make you current.
You need faith because you need faith when you pray (Mark 11:24), when you need wisdom (James 1:5-7), receive divine healing, dominate in the financial realm rather than being dominated by this world system, to operate out of the Kingdom of God system and to receive victory after victory and on and on.
You need to learn about faith, study faith, meditate faith and act in faith so that you can live by faith.
You need faith to pray any prayer (Mark 11:24). You must understand your prayer doesn’t make faith work but faith makes your prayer work.
The truth is you can’t even think right in this world without faith because of all that is going on. Faith is truly a commodity sent from heaven to you. Give God praise right now for faith!
OPERATING IN FAITH YOU BELIEVE WITH YOUR HEART & NOT YOUR HEAD
You have to remember that you can believe things with your heart that you can’t believe with your head because Romans 10:10 says, “with the heart man believeth”. So to “believe with the heart” means that you are able to believe independent of sense evidence and intellect. This means you can believe the Word of God independent of what is going on around you. So you believe first with your heart and then you act on what you believe. You must have faith on one side of the coin and believe on the other side of the coin in order for it to spend.
If you are going to walk by faith you have to realize that faith is not something that you intellectually understand. Faith goes beyond your mind and is a matter of your heart. You must realize if you are ever going to walk by faith, you can’t believe with your head. Faith is a heart thing. The things of faith will never agree with your head for the God kind of faith is of the spirit and not of the mind or the intellect.
Believing with your heart is how you got born again.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. KJV
You believed with your heart and that’s when the new birth of your spirit happened.
This is a powerful truth you must never forget that belief is of the heart and not the head, for the heart was designed by God to believe the Word of God. That’s really its purpose. It is designed so that if you continually put the Word of God in your heart on a regular basis through meditation, then you will become like Abraham, fully persuaded it is yours right now. Faith comes from your heart.
Yes, others will think you are crazy when you are fully persuaded and your circumstances have not changed one bit. They can’t see how you could be that persuaded but you have come to the place where you see it because it’s in your heart.
This is exciting to me that you can believe things with your heart that your head will never be able to comprehend. So fill your heart with the Word so that it explodes in you and you can see manifestations of your faith.
The Bible tells you to doubt not in your heart. You are able to do this by filling your heart with the Word of God through meditation and then you will begin to see yourself as the Word declares you are. Doubt not in your heart is possible because your heart was designed to believe the Word of God. It is easy for your heart to believe the Word of God. But again at the same time your head will still be full of doubt but you must act in faith any way. So don’t be confused if thoughts of doubt enter your mind and think that doubt is of your heart. No, your heart never doubts the Word of God for it was designed to believe.

FAITH MEANS NO PLAN B
Faith means to move on with an unqualified committal to the promise, selling out to it and making no plan B if things don’t work out. You have to make an unqualified committal with no plan B even after you prayed a prayer of faith. There is no plan B when you are walking in faith. Plan B is doubt because you are saying; “This may not work out so I will make this preparation just in case.”
You need to allow believing and faith to work together. Believing is an “unqualified committal”. That means you don’t have any backup plan and that means that if this thing you believe for doesn’t work out, then you are going to sink and look pretty goofy. But remember Jesus is with you all the way and He is merciful and will never leave you nor forsake you while you are in faith. So when you don’t make it is when you can call on Jesus and get back up and start walking once again in faith.
The bible says a righteous man falls seven times but he gets back up again. (Prov 24:16)
Jesus, your Example, made no plan B when He went to the graveside of Lazarus. He showed He was in faith when He spoke so that everyone could hear what He said, even if it meant that if this didn’t work then His ministry was ended.
It would be good for you to study people’s testimonies where they made an unqualified commitment and it worked out for them, because then you know it has to work out for you as well. Abraham is a
good example for you to study. The bible tells you Abraham became fully persuaded he had this son of promise, so he quit looking at his body at the age of one hundred and would not even
consider that Sara could never have children. He knew God would perform the miracle he needed and that God had promised him.
Peter, Jesus’ disciple, was another example of unqualified committal when he walked on the water to Jesus. Peter stepped out of the boat and had no other alternative but to walk to Jesus.
David who was just a shepherd boy in his father’s field and not a trained soldier went to the front of Israel’s army, confronted the giant, Goliath, who defied the army of Israel for days and killed him.
Your faith will work for you when you make an unqualified committal to trust God clear to the end when you see the reality of His promise to you.
FAITH IS YOUR SERVANT
Luke 17:5-6 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. KJV
Jesus is talking about faith is your servant. Faith has to obey you and go to work on whatever you use it on. Your circumstances have to obey faith when you put faith to work and faith has to obey you and go to work on whatever you use your faith for.
Luke 17:7-8 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? 8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? KJV
Jesus in this scripture is talking about faith obeying you like a servant. Faith is your servant.
Faith wants to obey you for that is what faith is for. Don’t take away the dignity of your faith by not allowing it to work for you. Faith is your servant for you to put to work every single day to heal your body, get your bills paid, get you out of debt, heal your marriage, etc. You put faith to work for you by believing, speaking and putting action to your faith.
Faith is your servant to do the impossible for you.
FAITH OVERRIDES TIME
Maybe you have messed up in life but God has made it so that you can go back and recover all kinds of things and speed things up in your life like healing, deliverance, and debt cancellations; and He does all of that through your cooperation of staying in faith.
Faith works just like when you put the key into the ignition and turn the car on.
Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. KJV
This scripture tells you that faith is a law and so it is predictable. God established faith for your benefit in this earth.
Time was created in Creation.
Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: KJV
So now time exists in the earth and even though time exists in the earth, when you use faith there is no time in faith. Faith is always now. Time was made to serve mankind and not mankind designed to serve time. Those who live outside of the God kind of faith have to wait on time, but in the Kingdom of God you use faith that is a higher law than time and it will govern time. This is really important to know, especially when you need to catch up because you are behind time.
Here is a fantastic scripture where time was over ridden.
Num 17:1-8 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod. 3 And thou shalt write Aaron’s name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 5 And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 6 And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers’ houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. KJV
God told Moses He was going to choose leaders for Israel and would choose them by making a rod from each tribe begin to bud. So Moses took the sticks from each tribe. Imagine, they were just sticks.
This scripture tells us the rod budded, blossomed and even yielded ripe fruit. You would call that a miracle because you are looking at it from earth to heaven but looking at it from heaven to earth it is just God at work.
Notice, the rod is not even in the ground and it brought forth leaves and ripe fruit over night.
You see the same thing happened when Jesus cursed the fig tree, it happened over night.
Let me ask you, “How long can your problem take?” Overnight.
The only reason you are waiting on time in circumstances is because you have been programmed in time, to wait on time. So now you have to deprogram yourself out of thinking in time and program yourself with faith where there is no time. Then when you say it, you can have it the very next morning.
You don’t need to have to wait a long time for problems to be taken care of. God can fix them over night. He has a track record of fixing things over night. He delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt over night. So He can bring you out over night. In order for Him to do that you have to line up with Him and His Word about you and work on your subconscious mind with the Word of God. An excellent scripture to use is found in Amos 9:13.
Amos 9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed;…KJV
You are out of time. Where it took a long time to get out of debt, get healed, grow the ministry, it’s not going to take you that long if you will believe. You can use our faith and override time and God will do overnight what took days, months and years to do. You must believe that.
According to your faith be it unto you. If you believe you have to wait then you will wait. If you believe that you can have it now then you can have it now.
Reprogram your mind with Amos 9:13.
Amos 9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed;…KJV
Another translation says, “The harvest follows directly after plowing and the treader of grapes soon after sowing.”
What you need to do is program your mind outside of time by meditating the Word of God and it will change the way you see things. When it says that you are already healed by the stripes of Jesus, then meditate that scripture seeing yourself healed and whole right now.
When you realize that you can override time, then you will begin to see it all over the bible. You see it when Jesus changed the water into wine. He didn’t have to plant a seed, tend to it, pick them, press them, and put them in a bottle. No, there it was from water to wine. His mother also overrode time when she asked Him to do something about the wine because He had told her it was not His time for miracles. You will begin to see where God dominated time and took time either backwards or forwards and even stopped time. What He did then He is still able and willing to do for you.
Remember these important truths, faith is your lifestyle. Faith is a spiritual law you can use to change anything in your life contrary to God’s will for you. Faith is of your heart and not of your head, so you can doubt not because faith was designed to believe the Word of God. You don’t have to have a PLAN B because faith will not fail you when you put it to work. Faith is your servant to put to work every day and do the impossible for you. Faith is a spiritual law that is a higher law then time and it will override time and you don’t have to wait on time.
