RHAPSODY OF REALITIES: TUESDAY,AUGUST 12TH,2014. *GET THE POWER WORKING...* And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils...they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover (Mark 16:17-18). The Lord Jesus never exaggerated; He spoke absolute reality. What He said in our opening verse is something you should consciously demonstrate or prove, knowing that the one who said it, never lied to anyone. Youre to lay hands on the sick to receive healing; you have the ability in the Name of Jesus. The Lord Jesus will be remiss to ask you to do something you couldnt do, or for which He hasnt enabled you. He said in Matthew 10:8, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils.... This is for every believer in Christ; step out in faith and take healing and health to the people in your world, and in the regions beyond. Someone might however lament, When I pray for people, they get healed, but when I get sick Im not able to help myself. Many have found themselves in this dilemma. Its similar to what happened to Elisha who was so anointed of God, but died sick. In 2 Kings 13:20-21, some men were about to bury a man when they spotted some raiders. Hastily, they tossed the corpse into the sepulcher that contained the remains of Elisha. As soon as the dead body came in contact with Elishas bones, the dead man came back to life (2 Kings 13:21). This happened long after Elisha was dead; his bones retained the anointing! Though Elisha died sick, Gods power in him didnt fail. We can conclude that it was Elisha that didnt apply that power to his health. Youre supposed to apply the same authority Jesus gave you to heal the sick in your personal life. Christ the Healer lives in you; acknowledge this reality, and function with this consciousness every day. When you do, everything thats not of God: sickness, poverty, death, lack, failure, depression, etc., will have no hold over you. PRAYER: Dear Father, as I study the Word and meditate on the Spirit, your power is activated in me, causing your glory in my spirit to impact my physical body, producing health, strength, and vitality. I walk in victory today, and experience success in all I do, in Jesus Name. Amen.
