Use What You Have
And this is the record, that God hath given to us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son
(1 John 5:11)
In our wonderful, journey of faith, God expects us
to have a life of continual victory and prosperity;
and all that’s required is for you to use what you
have.
“So, what do I have in me?” You might ask. If
you’re born again, you have eternal life in you. Jesus
said, “…He that believeth on me hath everlasting
life” (John 6:47). Eternal life is the God-life, which is
incorruptible. Use this life in you against the migraine
headache, diabetes, or cancer that may be trying to
find habitation in your body. Declare, “I refuse to
accommodate any sickness, disease or pain in my
body, because I have the life of God in me!”
Another thing you have is righteousness from
the Lord. Philippians 3:9 says, “And be found in him,
not having mine own righteousness, which is of the
law, but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith.” When
the devil tries to weaken your faith by making you
feel unrighteous, you ought to say to him: “I’m the
righteousness of God in Christ Jesus! Get out, in Jesus’
Name!”
If he tries to make you feel you have a problem
loving others, declare, “...the love of God is shed
abroad in my heart by the Holy Ghost which is given
unto me” (Romans 5:5). This means you have love
in your spirit. You’re a manifestation of the love of
God. Love radiates through you. Think this way about
yourself and speak and live accordingly.
It’s so important to know what you have in Christ,
and the way to know is from the Word of God. Learn
more about what you have in Christ and confess it.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for depositing within me your
very life and nature. I walk in boldness and confidence,
knowing that the incorruptible life within me can’t be defiled by
sickness, disease, failure, death or the devil. I’m unblameable
and unreproveable in your sight, because you love me and have
made me your righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
