<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><strong>John 6:63 - "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh gains nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life."</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Word of God and its power to heal your body is more than just good information. It actually has LIFE in it!

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Word of God and its power to heal your body is more than just good information. It actually has LIFE in it! Jesus said so in <strong>John 6:63.</strong> That's because the Word is like a seed. <em><strong>Hebrews 4:12 (Amp) says it is "alive and full of power -- making it active, operative, energizing and effective..."</strong></em></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">It actually carries within it the power to fulfill itself. When you planted the Word about the new birth in your heart, then believed and acted on it, that Word released within you the power to be born again.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">By the same token, when you plant the Word about healing in your heart, believe and act on it, that Word will release God's healing power in you. Speak its life-giving force aloud over your body in faith...and receive your healing! Receive His LIFE!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Many people have been in transition; they have been healing and they have been birthing. Many Believers are going to walk into the long-awaited inheritance of things that the Lord promised them – things that belong to them but they've been unable to obtain.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Even in the place of rest, refreshing, and refueling, the Lord is doing more in you to bring you into one of the greatest seasons of your life. He is bringing you into a place of greater freedom, liberty, strength, and wholeness in Him. He Is bringing renewed strength.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Where things have been heavy and you haven't been able to go further or see straight, suddenly the Lord will come like a mighty wind and empower you to go further than you have ever been.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He was describing a lifestyle with the Father -- even though He was standing on earth He had ascended into heavenly realms in His relationship with God.

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We are as raised from the dead as Jesus because it is actually His resurrection. Considering that biblical truth, the Lord invites us into an encounter where we start thinking and seeking according to the biblical reality. It comes from the fact that when Jesus was raised from the dead (as you) He defeated every enemy of humanity -- His victory is your victory. His purpose is your purpose -- to advance God's Kingdom throughout the earth regardless of the adversity you may encounter. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As Believers in Jesus, we have been issued an invitation to live a life of holiness before God – to be set apart like He is. To be totally and radically different than the world. The power of the Spirit enables us to live "set apart" to God.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">God has not called us to dry religion but the living waters of His presence – where we can come and drink at any time and learn to <strong>walk in His purpose for our life.</strong> <em><strong>"They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures." (Psalm 36:8)</strong></em> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Eat of His Words and drink of His Spirit! In doing this you cannot help but discover life-changing transformation into His very image!</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">As we speak the tender mercies of the Word over a problem, our faith begins to rise up within us. We then release words of faith and plant seeds of power. These seeds then begin to grow up and become greater than the problems.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">They begin to bear fruit -- fruit of deliverance, healing, miracles, love, joy, and peace. Souls are drawn into the Kingdom as Jesus is lifted up by the words of our mouth.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>James 3:17</strong> says that the Word is without hypocrisy. That means when we call things that be not as though they were, we're not lying or being hypocrites. We are not speaking lies or deceptions. We are speaking seeds of faith -- the seeds that start the process of God's operations in our lives will change our entire surroundings.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Answer: When I realize that God has made me a king and a priest unto Him. When I realize He has given me the Kingdom, the power, and the authority to operate as His under-ruler in the earth. Since we are reborn in Christ there is nothing in Jesus’ ministry that we do not have the power and authority to do.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood and made us a line of kings, priests to serve his God and father." - Revelation 1:5,6</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. - Romans 5:17</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession..." - 1 Peter 2:9</em></strong></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What is the spiritual sacrifice that we can offer unto God?</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> </strong> Answer: Praise, carrying out our Christ calling, and discipling others.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name." - Hebrews 13:15</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"O Lord surely I am Your servant, to You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving." - Psalm 116:16,17</em></strong></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>How do we acknowledge Satan's defeat?</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> </strong> Answer: By praising God and by binding and loosing anything in the earthly realm that does not match up with Heaven.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"And said to Him, 'Do You hear what these are saying?' And Jesus said to them, 'Yes, have you never read,: Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise?'" - Matthew 21:16</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Having disarmed principalities and powers He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it." - Colossians 2:15</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." - Matthew 18:18</em></strong></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>When a believer is praising and worshipping God it stops satan. Why?</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> </strong> Answer: The love of God and our praise produce an unseen force. This force is the power of God. God's very presence inhabits the praises of His people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Yet thou art holy, who dwell in the praises of Israel." - Psalm 22:3</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Let the high praises of God be in their throats and a two-edged sword in their hands." - Psalm 149:6</em></strong></span></p>

<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What is the spiritual mortar that binds the spiritual living stones which build the body of Christ?</strong></span></li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> </strong> Answer: Love. We appropriate the love of Jesus into our heart and minister it freely.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God's people." - Ephesians 6:18</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Come as living stones and let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple, where you will serve as holy priests to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices to God through Jesus Christ." - 1 Peter 2:5</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em>"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God." - 1 John 4:7</em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em> </em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><u>INTO ACTION:</u></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Affirm and meditate on the indicated scriptures 4 times daily until the renewing of your mind is made real to your spirit.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong> </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><u>AFFIRMATIONS:</u></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>God inhabits my praises.</strong> (Psalm 22:3)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>I am part of a royal priesthood and have been given the ministry of reconciliation.</strong> (See notes - 1) (1 Peter 2:9 & 2 Corinthians 5:19)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>As a lively stone that makes up the House of God, I hunger for the sincere milk of the Word.</strong> (1 Peter 2:2,5)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>I am bold as a lion since I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.</strong> (See notes - 2) (Proverbs 28:1 & 2 Corinthians 5:21)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>NOTES:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">1 The Ministry of Reconciliation has 2 parts:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">We lead people to salvation and we also disciple Believers into their Christ identity, right standing with God, and Walking in The Spirit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2. Righteousness means “Right Standing With God.” I am free from guilt and condemnation (<strong>Romans 8:1,2</strong>) since all my sins (past, present, and future) have been forgiven through Jesus’ finished work of the Cross. Since I am one with Christ I live through His righteousness, not my own.</span></p>
