The Solution For Spiritual Anemia

In the physical body, anemia is a condition of the blood in which one becomes weak because there is not enough iron in the blood. There is much spiritual anemia in the body of Christ, and the solution is the blood of Jesus. There is life in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the life of God Himself. It is life without weakness or death. The blood of Jesus brings life to the Word of God. And, thus, there is life in the Word. The Word is our iron pill to be taken as needed until one is strong again.

Let the weak say I am strong. Do you hear that? When you are weak, say: “I am strong.” The Word of God tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Joy comes from the Word of God; it comes from God Himself. He is joy. Ephesians 6:10 tells us that we are strong in the Lord. We are empowered through our union with Him. We draw our strength from Him. Our strength is in the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is called the Word of God in John 1:1.

Weakness was never to be a condition for a healthy Christian. We allow ourselves to become weak when something hits us to bring us down. That is the time when we must press in more than ever to the Presence of God through prayer, through His Word and through the power of the Holy Spirit. We must surround ourselves with His Presence. When we feel weak, that is the time we must stand up and praise God for Who He Is, praise Him for what He has done for us, and worship Him for His great love for us.

Acts 1:8 tells us that we shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. Do you believe God’s Word? What does this verse say? You, yes you, shall receive power. Receive what? POWER. Let’s look at that again. What shall you receive? POWER. When? When the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Is He any respecter of persons? No! So, He comes upon you like He comes upon me or any other member of the Body of Christ. How do you know if He comes upon you? You don’t wait for feelings that He is there. You accept and receive what God’s Word says. His Word says that you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Accept that Word for you personally.

No more spiritual anemia. The blood of Jesus has been shed for all times. It is forever good. His blood was shed for you and me, that we might be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
