Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So
Yesterday, we talked about healing and prosperity and all the rest of the package being ours already because of what Jesus has done for us. Today, let’s get our Word sword out and back up what we say. Never do anything without the Word as your foundation.
I know almost all of us have heard teaching after teaching after teaching on faith and on the Word of God and on healing and on prosperity, but if we are not walking in it, then we need more teaching after teaching after teaching. I know that I do. I need a continual inflow of God’s Word into my life to stay healed and whole in every area. The key word here is “stay.” We want to stay victorious and not go from one crisis to another. Tests will come as a result of living in this world which is run by satan and the flesh. But those tests do not have to sway us or distract us or sidetrack us.
Jesus told us in John 10:10 that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Anything that steals from you or destroys you or kills you is from the devil. Jesus said that He Himself has come that we might have and enjoy life, have in abundance, to the full, until it overflows. That is God’s design for our lives. In 1 John 3:8b we are told that the reason the Son of God (Jesus) was manifest was to loosen, undo, dissolve, destroy the works of the devil. In Galatians 3:13,14 we are told by Paul that Christ has redeemed us, released us, ransomed us, loosened us from the curse of the law that the blessing of Abraham might come on us. The Anointed One, with His anointing has set us free from the curse. And what is the curse of the law? We see that in Deuteronomy 28. There is quite a list in those verses of various diseases and poverty and other things contrary to the Lord’s best. We are redeemed from all of that. Psalm 107:2 says: Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
Are you redeemed? Then say so. Our mouth is connected with our victory. Jesus has already purchased our freedom from sickness and disease and poverty and separation from God. What we have to do is to enforce those facts in our lives. And since we have an enemy, he does everything possible to interfere with the enforcement, the reality of health and prosperity in our lives. But he is a defeated enemy. That is what we must constantly remind ourselves. Satan and all of his demonic forces are defeated in our lives.
We have already spoken about Jesus destroying the works of the devil. In Hebrews 2:14,15 we see that Christ has rendered powerless him who had the power of death, that is the devil and delivered us from bondage. In Colossians 2:15 we are reminded that Christ has spoiled, stripped of their authority principalities and powers and triumphed over them. Who do you think Christ Jesus did all these things for? You have got it right---you and me. But we must be the ones who personally accept what He has done for us. In the face of apparent defeat and failure, in the face of horrendous pain, in the face of a death report from the doctor, in the face of what seems like financial disaster, we stand up and say: I AM REDEEMED from every sickness and disease, from poverty and failure and defeat and death. I am redeemed from the curse of the law. I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus Who loves me. Greater is He who is in me with His might and His power than he that is in the world. Through Jesus Christ I have already defeated and overcome satan and all his works. You and I have to become aggressive. We cannot be passive. We must assert what is ours and refuse to let go of it. Stand firm, and stand strong on the basis of what the word of God says.
When we are hit is not the time to back down, back up or quit. Like David with Goliath we say: who are you, you uncircumcised Jew to come against a covenant child of God.
Jesus has already made the sacrifice. The work has already been done, but what we say about it affects what we experience of it. He is able to work in our lives according to what we say about it. What should we say? We should say what He says. He says we are forgiven, healed, delivered. We should say the same. We must give the Lord something to work with in our lives. We are going to say what He says and give Him as our High Priest something to work with in our lives. Heb. 3:1 and 4:14
