The apostle Paul writes this like he is the race of his life or like he is climbing a mountain that most people would give up on. We must also understand that there are more that don’t want you to make, it compared to those who do.
It is like the old TV game shows called “It’s a Knockout” & “Wipeout” where contestants would try to make it past obstacles and the opposition were there trying to distract them and knock them of course so that they would have to go back to the start again. There was the slowly rotating log above the water which may seem a challenge to many but when you add in the opposing team waiting to release their swinging “knock them off the pole” bags, only the contestants who could keep their cool and an eye on what the enemy was trying to do, would make it through. In real life it is exactly what our enemy the devil is always trying to do, and he does this by distracting us and knocking us of the course when we least expect it by hitting us with bags of sickness and disease, depression and discouragement. The more knocks we receive, the more discouraged and weaker we become and the more focus on yourself and less on Jesus, but Heb 12:2 says, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
The deep is not what you know, the deep is whatever is not operational in your life. The deep is letting go of the rope that has you safely tied up to the shore where all the other boats are. We have to develop a trust relationship with the Holy Spirit, then things will begin to happen.
Your faith has the ability to carry people to their place of healing. Your faith filled words can bring hope to someone who is hurting and cause them to believe that it’s their time now.
This miracle doesn’t happen without these four men taking the time out of their busy schedules to come and meet at the house of the paralytic man. They would have…
God the Father has highly exalted Jesus and has given Him a name that more powerful than any other name. We have been given His name to use so we should use it against anything that has a name which the devil has worked against you.
Sickness has a name, Oppression has a name, poverty has a name and every knee must bow to that name. There is nothing higher on the earth than that name and Jesus was anointed and so is His name. His name is anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus then exalted one thing higher than His name. His name and His word He has exalted far above any other thing and because of that they are anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power.
At His name every knee must bow and His word has the magnified power of the Holy Spirit on it to break every chain. So, use the name of Jesus to stop the enemy in his tracks and then use the word of God to release the captive.
There is power in the name of Jesus and the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, dwells in you.
1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (NLT) 18 The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power…
Infirmity is weakness.
What Jesus won He did for us, what He conquered He did for us and it is interesting that we have same faith that Jesus had, so we need to look at how He used faith and what He used faith on.So how much faith did Jesus have? Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. KJV as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.It’s time that we realized that we have been given the measure of faith that is more than enough to complete our assignments here on earth and that it is more than enough to meet our every need and everything that our enemy Satan can through at us.Faith makes you unstoppable.
It is important to understand that everything we do in the supernatural is because we are anointed. I should also add that like everything in the Kingdom of God can only be accessed by faith. Nothing happens without the anointing power of God and you are anointed by God when you received the Holy Spirit. 1 John 2:27 (NKJV) 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
