Acts 10:38 (NKJV) …how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
As we continue to look at the heart of God, we see in this verse that God was working, through Jesus, to bring healing and good to humanity. Jesus was anointed by God, with the powerful Holy Spirit, to go and heal. He also showed us that healing is good. I do not know about you, but when sickness comes against me or someone I love, I never see it as a good thing. I never say, “God must be trying to teach me something through this.”
No! We have an enemy of God who is coming against us, and God has given us His Word and the blood of Jesus to fight him and defeat him. In Revelation 12:11 it says, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” We overcome the enemy by the blood of our Savior, and by His Word being in our mouth, and spoken by faith. According to Hebrews 4:12, God’s Word is as sharp as a two-edged sword!
We need to sharpen His Word, speak it through our lips, and put the enemy to flight in our lives. Do not ever underestimate the power of the Word of God on a believer’s lips. You have the power of God within you. Use it today!
Confession: God’s Word resides big within me, and today I make a quality decision to use it and to speak it. As I speak His Word, mountains have to move. God’s Word is powerful as I speak it by faith.
