Behold, I
give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power
of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). As a child
of God, your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19), which
means your body isn't yours; it's owned by God. However, you're the one to keep
watch over your body and keep it in health. You're the one to exercise
authority over your body, keeping it free of sickness, disease and infirmity.
The words
of Jesus in our opening verse should let you know that you're not ordinary; you
have the right to tell your body how it should feel. Tell your body what to do,
and it'll respond. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that you shall have what you say.
If you've been struggling with an addiction, declare with boldness, "I'm
not going to let anything dominate me. I keep my body in subjection to the Word
of God!" Don't permit in your body anything that's not consistent with the
Word of God for your life; take charge and rule over your body with the Word of
God. When you
perceive the symptoms of sickness in your body, reject them for they only
become real when you say they are. Your words aren't empty; what you say comes
to pass; therefore, talk to your body always, and keep it in health. Don't say,
"I have a growth in my stomach and it's hurting so bad. The doctor says
it's cancer". Don't talk about the growth; talk to it instead! Tell it to
die and pass out from your body. Tell the pain to cease, and tell your body to
function rightly in line with the life of Christ that's in your spirit. Christ
literally lives in you! He dwells in your spirit and expresses Himself through
your physical body. Your consciousness of this reality makes it easier for you
to exercise dominion over your body against sickness, disease, and infirmity.
CONFESSION:
The Spirit of God vitalizes every fibre of my being! The God-life in me
destroys sickness, disease and infirmities! I'm healthy and strong! Only the
life and nature of Christ - His beauty and glory - are manifested in my
physical body, because He perambulates in me, through the Holy Spirit.
Halleluiah!
Further
Study: Romans 8:10-13 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him
that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after
the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through
the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
