Dovada ca porcul zboara
Daca porcul a ajuns sa zboare atunci probabil dupa principiul dominoului se vor intampla multe lucruri bizare, care toate tineau de performanta porcului de a zbura. Acum ca porcul zboara, si a fost suprins in mai multe fotografii, mai mult ca sigur ca:
- fericirea va cobora brusc pe pamant
- cei mintiti vor avea dintr-o data, din nou incredere in cei care i-au mintit
- oamenii nu se vor mai trage unii pe altii pe sfoara
- Romania isi va reveni din criza
- iubirea pt aproape va invinge egoismul (iubirea de sine)
- vom putea avea incredere unii in altii fara teama
Si……… multe altele!
Ai nevoie de un miracol?
Matei 7
7. Cereti, si vi se va da; cautati si veti gasi; bateti, si vi se va deschide.
8. Caci oricine cere capata; cine cauta gaseste; si celui ce bate i se deschide.
9. Cine este omul acela dintre voi care, daca-i cere fiul sau o paine, sa-i dea o piatra?
10. Sau, daca-i cere un peste, sa-i dea un sarpe?
11. Deci, daca voi, care sunteti rai, stiti sa dati daruri bune copiilor vostri, cu cat mai mult Tatal vostru care este in ceruri va da lucruri bune celor ce I le cer!
Aceste cuvinte sunt adevarate. Multi crestini le cunosc dar putini cred in ele, sau cred in ele incearca sa le puna in practica si daca experienta nu se potriveste cu ceea ce spun aceste versete trag concluzii gresite. Gasesc tot felul de scuze pentru a anula ceea ce spune mai sus.
Adevarul este ca ceea ce spune cuvantul lui Dumnezeu este adevarat. Ce se intampla atunci? De ce crestinii nu experimenteaza aceste lucruri?
continuarea articolului pe UceniculuiHristos
Alegerea ucenicilor
Cred ca Isus putea sa-si faca ucenici din orice om pe care l-a intalnit pe drum, care ar fi fost disponibil sa Il urmeze. Imi imaginez ca Isus a mers pe strada si la “nimereala” a ales din multime 12 indivizi. Nu s-a facut nici un preselectie, in care sa fie analizate calitatile, caracterul, pregatirea si potentialul celor care urmau sa Ii fie ucenici, iar primii sa fie alesi. Cei pe care i-a ales nu au avut nimic special, decat faptul ca atunci cand au fost chemati au lasat totul si au mers dupa El. Isus a ales un grup de oameni care intr-un final L-au parasit si tradat in grup. Multi dintre voi daca ar fi sa va compar cu cei 12 ucenici sunteti mult superiori lor atat in ce priveste caracterul cat si coeficientul de inteligenta.
Oamenii astia nu au avut nimic special, sansa lor a fost ca au primit invatatura direct de la Isus si au avut parte de revarsarea Duhului Sfant peste ei, au avut acces la informatia de prima mana cu privire la Imparatia lui Dumnezeu si asta a facut ca la ei sa functioneze lucrurile asa cum au functionat, nu pentru ca ar fi fost mai grozavi, mai sfinti, mai nu stiu cum ca noi. Au invatat si au pus in aplicare o invatatura pura, nealterata, si asta le-a adus succesul pe care noi putem sa il citim in Faptele Apostolilor si nu numai, spre deosebire de noi care suntem imbibati cu minciuni religioase
Isus nu i-a ales pe cei mai grozavi, pe cei cu caracterul cel mai bun si moralitatea cea mai radicala, ci dimpotriva, a ales un grup de oameni care mai de care mai lasi, besmetici, orgoliosi, mandrii, centrati pe sine, pe care la urma urmei nu s-a putut baza. Putem spune ca Isus a fost urmat de un grup de tradatori, lasi si oameni firesti. Pe astia i-a ales Isus si i-a bagat in scoala Lui timp de 3 ani, scoala care in momentul crucificarii lui Isus parea sa fi fost o scoala fara roade, inutila, doar ca dupa revarsarea Duhului Sfant lucrurile s-au schimbat radical, in loc de mandrie si orgoliu a aparut smerenia, in loc de ravnirea unui loc de frunte a aparut dorinta de slujire, in loc de tradare a aparut sacrificiul pana la moarte.
Tradarea
Tradarea – un aspect al vietii general acceptat, dar cu consecinte devastatoare de ambele parti, atat pentru tradator cat si pentru cel tradat. Pentru tradator perioada imediat tradarii este una relativ buna, pe moment e mai bine sa dai tzeapa decat sa primesti tzeapa, pe cand cel tradat este supus mortii, tocmai a fost impuscat in cap sau in inima si se decide ce anume moare si ce nu, cat moare din el si cat nu, ce parte a creierului sau al inimii va fi ingropat, si ce anume va ramane in viata si se va regenera dupa un timp indelungat in care chinul va fi caracteristica vietii de zi cu zi.
Tradarea cred ca e cea mai aiurea chestie pe care o fiinta umana o poate face, si de mai multe ori m-am intrebat de unde atata curaj sa poti trada, m-as teme sa nu fiu traznita in secunda urmatoare tradarii, mi-ar fi frica ca s-ar deschide pamantul si m-ar inghiti pentru ca am calcat in picioare ceva sfant din viata celui pe care l-am tradat. Cred ca tradarea din punct de vedere omenesc nu poate fi iertata, nu exista nici o scuza pentru tradare, nici macar una, desi tradatorul isi creaza un munte de scuze ca sa se simta bine, si sa nu isi asume responsabilitatea, de aceea cei care tradeaza se simt bine, ba chiar se simt importanti cand vad ca cel pe care l-au tradat sufera din cauza lor, e un sentiment de bine malefic, care nu va dura la infinit, e doar o senzatie de moment.
L-am intrebat odata pe Dumnezeu daca ne putem comporta oricum, din moment ce tradatorii se simt bine si cei tradati isi chinuie zilele, L-am intrebat daca putem sa tradam fara sa avem parte de nici macar un strop de consecinta, ba dimpotriva sa ne simtim bine, L-am intrebat daca putem sa ne jucam cu inima oamenilor si sa gasim justificare si pentru asta, in felul asta calmandu-ne constiinta, L-am intrebat daca putem sa calcam pe inima oamenilor, pe sinceritatea lor, pe deschiderea lor, si sa fie ca si cum nu am fi facut asta. Si mi-a raspuns prin : Ce seamana omul aceea va culege.
Tradarea este o chestie care nu cred ca poate fi iertata vreodata de vreun om daca nu intervine ideea ca daca Dumnezeu ne-a iertat pe noi, trebuie sa iertam si noi. Si mai cred ca daca esti tradat odata si cel care te-a tradat nu se pocaieste in sac si cenusa, iar tu il ierti si refaci relatia, te va trada cu aceeasi usurinta si data viitoare, si vei cadea de fraier inca odata.
Care sunt caracteristicile care te fac sa fi victima sigura in fata celor care au facut un sport din a trada? Bunul simt exagerat, bunatatea exagerata, naivitatea exagerata, increderea in vorbele oamenilor, in linguselile lor, in laudele lor.
Tradarea doare cumplit, poate ar fi bine ca cel tradat chiar sa moara iar cel care a tradat sa traiasca cu povara uciderii toata viata, poate asta ar fi cea mai buna pedeapsa, pentru ca tradarea e ucidere. Stiu ca suna dur ceea ce spun, dar specia umana s-a obisnuit asa de mult cu tradarea ca si cu alte pacate incat nu le mai vad gravitatea, cel putin pentru pocaiti tradarea e floare la ureche, tradam si trecem mai departe fara probleme, cel tradat sa se descurce. Tradarea e ucidere, fratilor, uciderea a ceva pur si frumos, ai primit poate ce avea mai sfant cel pe care l-ai tradat si i-ai calcat in picioare ce avea mai bun in el, e cumplit. Si de ce ai facut asta? Pentru ati hrani orgoliul, firea.
Tradarea care nu duce la pocainta din aia in sac si cenusa, il va transforma pe cel care tradeaza intr-o epava, pentru ca orice pacat duce la moarte, iar tradarea e cel mai aiurea lucru pe care il poate face fiinta umana. Isus a primit cea mai grea lovitura inaintea mortii, a fost tradat, ucenicii s-au lepadat de El, doar moartea a fost mai cumplita decat tradarea. Tradarea generata de slabiciunea omului, tradarea neintentionata e urmata urgent de o pocainta din aia crancena, cand omul realizeaza ce a facut, nu mai are liniste pana nu pune lucrurile la punct, pana nu restaureaza ceea ce a stricat, pe cand tradarea care nu duce la pocainta in sac si cenusa, probabil e una gandita, planuita, cantarita, iar asta aduce o stare de bine pe moment.
Am un mesaj pentru cei tradati, dupa tradare urmeaza moartea, pe care stiu ca ati experimentat-o si poate inca o mai experimentati, dar dupa moarte vine invierea si revarsarea Duhului.

DRAGOSTEA DINTAI
Stiu ca ai rabdare, ca ai suferit din pricina Numelui Meu si ca n-ai obosit. Dar ce am impotriva ta este ca ti-ai parasit dragostea dintai. Adu-ti, dar, aminte de unde ai cazut; pocaieste-te si intoarce-te la faptele tale dintai. Altfel, voi veni la tine si-ti voi lua sfesnicul din locul lui, daca nu te pocaiesti. (Apocalipsa 2:3-5)
“Am ceva impotriva voastra, chiar daca va straduiti, chiar daca ati suferit din pricina Mea, chiar daca ati perseverat, chiar daca faceti diverse activitati, pt ca va dicteaza constiinta, pe Mine astea nu ma multumesc, Eu vreau dragostea dintai, orice altceva e insuficient, imi produce suferinta si durere. Dragostea dintai e singurul lucru care ma face fericit, pentru ca asta e nivelul la care Eu lucrez, la care Eu functionez, dragostea dintai e bucuria si linistea Mea. Oricat de mult mi-ati spune ca Ma iubiti, Eu stiu, simt ca v-ati pierdut dragostea dintai, unii nici nu ati avut-o vreodata. Daca vreti sa ma vedeti fericit, reveniti la dragostea dintai, faceti ce trebuie facut sa aveti dragostea dintai, e singurul lucru pe care Il cer de la voi. Nu ma incalziti cu nimic ca Imi cantati cantari de dragoste, ca imi spuneti cuvinte de iubire, daca inima voastra a plecat de langa Mine, doar revenirea voastra la dragostea dintai poate aduce bucuria inapoi, nimic altceva.
Nu ma intereseaza starea de caldicel, in care va straduiti sa Imi demonstrati ca inca mai aveti ceva pentru Mine, asta ma infurie cel mai tare, vreau lucrurile clare, ori aveti inima cu mine ori nu, in Imparatia Mea lucrurile nu se fac cu jumatati de masura, ori ma iubiti in clocot, ori nu, iubirea voastra cu jumatate de inima Ma face sa vreau sa va vars din gura Mea. Stiu faptele tale: ca nu esti nici rece, nici in clocot. O, daca ai fi rece sau in clocot! Dar, fiindca esti caldicel, nici rece, nici in clocot, am sa te vars din gura Mea. (Apocalipsa 3:15-16)
Inca nu ati inteles? Eu am dat totul, si vreau totul, Mi-am dat viata pentru voi, si vreau si voi sa va dati viata pentru Mine. Inca nu ati inteles? Orice mai putin decat dragostea dintai, decat dragostea in cloclot, nu conteaza, nu va mai prefaceti ca nu intelegeti nu e greu de inteles, ori totul ori nimic. Va iubesc cu o iubire vesnica, si nu va oblig la nimic, dar daca vreti o relatie cu Mine, vreau sa stiti ca Eu vreau totul, ca la inceput, ca atunci cand M-ati iubit din toata inima, cand vorbeati cu Mine zi si noapte, cand va gandeati la Mine tot timpul. Daca nu ati cunoscut dragostea dintai, cereti si vi se va da”
Isaia 53
1. Cine a crezut in ceea ce ni se vestise? Cine a cunoscut bratul Domnului?
2. El a crescut inaintea Lui ca o odrasla slaba, ca un lastar care iese dintr-un pamant uscat. N-avea nici frumusete, nici stralucire ca sa ne atraga privirile, si infatisarea Lui n-avea nimic care sa ne placa.
3. Dispretuit si parasit de oameni, Om al durerii si obisnuit cu suferinta, era asa de dispretuit, ca iti intorceai fata de la El, si noi nu L-am bagat in seama.
4. Totusi El suferintele noastre le-a purtat, si durerile noastre le-a luat asupra Lui, si noi am crezut ca este pedepsit, lovit de Dumnezeu si smerit.
5. Dar El era strapuns pentru pacatele noastre, zdrobit pentru faradelegile noastre. Pedeapsa care ne da pacea a cazut peste El, si prin ranile Lui suntem tamaduiti.
6. Noi rataceam cu totii ca niste oi, fiecare isi vedea de drumul lui, dar Domnul a facut sa cada asupra Lui nelegiuirea noastra a tuturor.
7. Cand a fost chinuit si asuprit, n-a deschis gura deloc, ca un miel pe care-l duci la macelarie si ca o oaie muta inaintea celor ce o tund: n-a deschis gura.
8. El a fost luat prin apasare si judecata. Dar cine din cei de pe vremea Lui a crezut ca El fusese sters de pe pamantul celor vii si lovit de moarte pentru pacatele poporului meu?
9. Groapa Lui a fost pusa intre cei rai, si mormantul Lui, la un loc cu cel bogat, macar ca nu savarsise nicio nelegiuire si nu se gasise niciun viclesug in gura Lui.
10. Domnul a gasit cu cale sa-L zdrobeasca prin suferinta… Dar, dupa ce Isi va da viata ca jertfa pentru pacat, va vedea o samanta de urmasi, va trai multe zile, si lucrarea Domnului va propasi in mainile Lui.
11. Va vedea rodul muncii sufletului Lui si Se va inviora. Prin cunostinta Lui, Robul Meu cel neprihanit va pune pe multi oameni intr-o stare dupa voia lui Dumnezeu si va lua asupra Lui povara nelegiuirilor lor.
12. De aceea, Ii voi da partea Lui la un loc cu cei mari, si va imparti prada cu cei puternici, pentru ca S-a dat pe Sine insusi la moarte si a fost pus in numarul celor faradelege, pentru ca a purtat pacatele multora si S-a rugat pentru cei vinovati.

De ce nu se implinesc unele proorocii, revelatii….
Cred ca una din principalele cauze pentru care proorociile nu se implinesc este prostia omului. Exista multe proorocii false, prooroci care abereaza in ultimul hal, dar multe proorocii de la Dumnezeu nu mai ajung sa se implineasca pentru ca omul zadarniceste planul lui Dumnezeu. Si nu poti sa spui ca proorocul a mintit, sau ca vedenia a fost falsa, sau ca visul a fost eronat, si s-a intamplat exact pe dos, poti sa spui ca nu ai fost atent, ca ai facut exact ce nu trebuia. Voia lui Dumnezeu nu intra in functiune automat, voia lui Dumnezeu exprimata printr-o proorocie sau descoperire, nu intra automat in functiune, daca omul lasa totul la voia intamplarii fara sa se incadreze pe traseul care sa duca la implinirea profetiei.
Curajul de a asculta de Duhul Sfant
Intotdeauna cand am iesit dintr-o conceptie religioasa si am inceput sa actionez dupa revelatia pe care Duhul Sfant mi-a dat-o, religia a fost atat de puternic impregnata in fiecare celula din mine incat mi s-a parut ca schimbarea pe care o fac este o erezie, sau o blasfemie. Din cauza asta au fost situatii in care am dat inapoi, crezand ca fac ceva gresit, dar bine ca Duhul Sfant s-a tinut de capul meu si mi-a repetat care este voia lui Dumnezeu si intr-un final mi-am luat inima in dinti si m-am luptat cu balaurul religiozitatii care m-a tinut paralizata prin frica si intimidare.
Va spun asta pentru ca probabil unii va confruntati cu asa ceva, e doar o intimidare ordinara a celui rau, daca Biblia spune clar un lucru, nu mai conteaza ce spun toate denominatiunile pamantului, nici macar toti popii si pastorii din lume, conteaza un singur lucru, voia lui Dumnezeu exprimata negru pe alb in Cuvant.
Iti trebuie curaj sa asculti de Duhul Sfant.
Isus, suferinta si ucenicii
Dupa 3 ani in care a ingrijit de ei, in care a dat tot ce a avut mai bun ca sa Ii invete, in care le-a salvat viata potolind furtuna, ucenicii au sansa sa isi arate recunostinta pentru ca au avut parte de un asemenea har. Daca ei ar fi stiut ca Isus urma sa moara pentru ei, probabil ca altfel ar fi tratat momentul, daca ar fi stiut ca Isus urma sa le ia toate pacatele si sa le daruiasca TOTUL cine stie daca nu macar din interes ar fi avut alta atitudine, dar nu au stiut, nu au vazut decat ce le statea sub nas, au fost impinsi doar de impulsul de moment, fara sa aiba o viziune care sa ii conduca.
Isus confruntat cu momentul Ghetimani ii duce pe Petru, Iacov si Ioan ca sa fie cu El in acele momente grele. Avea nevoie de prieteni carora sa le pese, simtea nevoia sa stie ca e cineva cu El caruia ii pasa. Nu ma mir de Iacov, poate nici de Petru de care erau doar vorbele, dar ma mir de Ioan, ucenicul pe care Isus il iubea, nu ca nu i-ar fi iubit si pe ceilalti, dar cu Ioan avusese o relatie speciala. Isus ii duce cu El in gradina Ghetimani ca sa fie alaturi de El la greu, iar ei se culca, le cerseste odata sprijinul, si apoi ii lasa in pace.
Cand se trezesc cei trei, probabil invocand toate scuzele de pe pamant ca sa se scoata basma curata in fata lui Isus, cred ca si-au inghitit vorbele de frica cand au vazut gloata mare cu sabii si ciomege venind sa Il prinda pe Isus, avandu-l in frunte pe un alt ucenic a lui Isus, care isi consimteste tradarea printr-un sarut. “Atunci toti ucenicii L-au parasit si au fugit” Petru ca sa nu existe nici o indoiala asupra loialitatii si credinciosiei lui fata de Isus, se leapada pe fatza de El, ca sa fie lucrurile si mai clare.
Asta a fost raspunsul ucenicilor, de atat au fost in stare atunci cand umblau in fire, dar cand au fost schimbati de Duhul Sfant, au ajuns sa moara pt Isus. Asa a fost atunci, la fel e si acum.
Jesus Christ – The True Bridegroom
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. That is why He calls Himself Bridegroom in the Scriptures. His great love desires a bride, a bridal soul. He longs fervently for her love. He looks for her to see whether she is about to come to Him, to see whether she longs and yearns for Him, to see whether she really wants Him alone.
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. He wants to give us His love; but He is also waiting for us to return His love. Jesus is a true Bridegroom. His love is a jealous love. He wants you, your soul, completely. He is jealous when you give your love to other people and to other things. He is jealous when pay more attention to them, when you give them more time, more of yourself, than you give Him. Then He stands beside you, grieved. Then He is hurt and wounded, because He loves you so much.
Jesus is a true Bridegroom. He does not force you to love Him. He asks: “Will you give Me your love?”, and He gets what He wants when you do this. Only one thing will satisfy Him – your love. All else is too small for Him: that you believe in Him, that you obey Him, that you come to Him for forgiveness. He is not only your Physician who heals you. He is not only your Redeemer who delivers you from your bonds. He wants to be your Bridegroom, and as Bridegroom He gives you His great, His tender, His most intimate love. Now He is waiting for you to give Him your love. He who loves wants to be loved in return.
Because Jesus is the Bridegroom, He can be wounded if you take up self-chosen crosses, choosing the way of poverty and resolving to make sacrifices simply for ascetic reasons. Certainly He wants you to follow Him on the way of the cross. But His heart is filled with grief and sorrow if it is not love that impels you. You should not take the way of the cross for your own sanctification, but rather – as He repeatedly said while He was on earth – “For My sake you should lose your life, for My sake you should forsake houses, brethren . . .” Out of love for Him, out of love alone you should choose obedience, lowliness, humility and disgrace. Only the dedication which springs from love will make Him happy. Indeed, this is the only dedication which He will accept. Nothing else. All else is insufficient. Anything else would be more likely to wound Him, because it is simply pious deceit; we seem to be going His way, but it is really for our own sake.
Jesus, the Bridegroom, is the Man of Sorrows. He suffers to this present day. He is seeking a bride who will share with Him what is in His heart. His heart is filled not only with love, but also with suffering – past and present. He is seeking a bride who will really live out the bridal state, whose heart will beat with His, who will bear things with Him, who not only suffers through her own afflictions, but also suffers His afflictions with Him, who in reality enters into the fellowship of suffering with Him. Only she is a true bride who is concerned about His concerns – about the needs of His people and His Church and the things which hinder His dominion among the peoples.
For Him the bride is the soul who suffers with Him and who is prepared to do everything to alleviate His sufferings. She seeks ways through sacrifice and prayer and does her utmost to ensure that the things which trouble Him may be changed. She labors so that He may be honored where He is not now honored, that He may be feared where He is not now feared. She strives to lead back to God the people who are not living according to His commandments and statutes, and so she comforts His heart and makes Him happy. She spends her life for Him and suffers until she has loved souls home to Him by whom they can be saved, until people set themselves under His dominion and begin to love Him. Not until her Bridegroom is comforted will she be satisfied. The bride keeps asking Him: “How can I comfort You?”, and in the quietness the Bridegroom will tell her what grieves Him. She will go with Him to comfort Him.
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. That is why He is not satisfied when we simply set ourselves under His dominion and give Him slavish obedience. He wants more – He wants our heart, our very hearts blood. As the Bridegroom, He asks: “How much am I worth to you? How much can you sacrifice for Me? Can you give Me your beloved children? Can you give Me father and mother and friends? Can you give Me your home and your native land out of love if I ask for these? Will you go anywhere I call you to serve, and lead to Me the souls for which I hunger? Can you sacrifice your honor, your strength, your longing to be loved, your deepest secret wishes for Me?”
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. He waits for His bride. He does not seek to force love; it must be spontaneous. He knocks softly on the door. He waits until someone opens it. He stands behind the door and looks to see whether His bride will open up and come out to Him (Song of Solomon 5:2). His eyes follow her sadly if all day long she is busy and in a hurry, if she goes about everything quickly and vigorously and yet spiritually is becoming estranged from Him, because she is completely engrossed with her work and earthly business.
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. His ardent concern is to impart His likeness to His bride so that she too may radiate divine beauty and be adorned with many virtues. He works with specials care, loving care for His bride. He guides her and leads her along paths of chastisement, for this will bring her to where His is. He dreams of the full beauty that shall be hers. He loves her too much to suffer her to have any “spots” or “wrinkles”, because she is His bride. Full of pride and joy, His loving eyes beholds her as though she were perfect. Through the power of His blood He, the Almighty, can bring her to the perfection of divine beauty.
Jesus is a true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. So He stands as a Protector besides His bride. He is intent upon protecting her from all who may want to harm her. He strives on her behalf. To be a bride means that one is no longer alone. It means that one has an intimate partner who lives for his bride, and to do everything that he can for her. So, Jesus, the Bridegroom, lives to do everything for Him bride, to help her in every situation, in every need, in every impossibility. She is no longer alone. Jesus is true Bridegroom; this is His very nature. He is waiting in heaven for the day when His bride will come to Him so that He can be united with her for ever. He seeks her in unending love.
I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In steadfast love, and in mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness; And you shall know the Lord. (Hosea 2:19-20).
Atentie la vise
Iov 33
14. Dumnezeu vorbeste insa, cand intr-un fel, cand intr-altul, dar omul nu ia seama.
15. El vorbeste prin vise, prin vedenii de noapte, cand oamenii sunt cufundati intr-un somn adanc, cand dorm in patul lor.
16. Atunci El le da instiintari si le intipareste invataturile Lui,
17. ca sa abata pe om de la rau si sa-l fereasca de mandrie,
18. ca sa-i pazeasca sufletul de groapa si viata de loviturile sabiei.
Step into divine healing – John Paul Jackson
Hosea wrote, “‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’” (Hosea 4:6). If we do not understand all of what God has done for us, can we partake and receive the full benefit of it? Will we be healed if we don’t believe that God can or will do it? I would say probably not, because stepping into what God has done for us requires faith. Healing is often like salvation; Christ died for us, but until we ask for His salvation, we aren’t saved. It is there, but it isn’t ours yet. We have to ask for it, and it comes only by faith.
Jesus came to destroy the works of the evil one (1 John 3:8) — not just the evil of demonization, illness, disease and infirmity, but the work of everything that is contrary to His Kingdom. What are you facing today that is contrary to His Kingdom? He has already cleared the way for you to walk out of the prison you find yourself in. This is true each and every time.
The provision has been made for us, but understanding this truth takes an intense change of mindset, because the prison is not a physical place: It is the mind. As long as we are convinced that God’s healing is limited, we are never going to walk in the full power of His glory. It will sit there waiting for us, right outside the door.
