Something as insignificant as the common cold can put a damper on your whole day, can't it?
Maybe you had plans to get together with friends or take the family out shopping. When those sniffles show up—and you feel like hauling a trashcan around for all the tissues you're going through—it makes the fun and games a little harder to enjoy.
Never mind if you're facing something a lot more serious than a cold.
Whether you caught a bug or you're facing a tough diagnosis, God declares you're healed.
Yet from where you're standing today, it could be that all the evidence is pointing to the contrary. The symptoms say you're sick. The doctors say you're sick. So what then?
If this is you, it's time to gather evidence from God's Word.
It's not about living in denial of your situation, but about choosing to declare what's more true than your situation: God's promises. Because Jesus qualified you for every single one in the book.
As you go into the Word and discover the verses that say you're healed, healthy and whole—speak them out loud. Romans 4:17 (AMP) says that God "gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist." If He can do that—and if He created the entire universe with the words He spoke—then our own words have power too.
So, what are you speaking? Instead of complaining about what you can't do or focusing on the fear, begin to make a habit of declaring words of faith! Meditate on what God has to say about you. Let His Word go to work on the beliefs of your heart. As you do, Holy Spirit will bring those promises to mind when you need them.
When the future is uncertain, you can say, "I'm not afraid or discouraged, because God personally goes ahead of me. He is with me and will never fail me" (Deuteronomy 31:8).
When you get up in the morning, declare 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and say, "God's salvation gives me everything I need for my whole spirit, soul and body. I am healthy and whole in Jesus' name."
If the symptoms are speaking loud and clear today, stand on Romans 8:11 and say, "The same Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead lives in me! He's giving life to every cell in my body."
To help you begin speaking what GOD says about your situation, we've put together a collection of personal declarations called Walk in the Word. Click here to download the PDF.
You can save it on your device or print it out, then use it to kickstart every day with words that give LIFE to your body and mind! Every time you do, you're sowing seeds of faith in your heart.
Curing cancer is no harder for God than curing the common cold. He's already sent out His Word to heal you (Psalm 107:20), and it's Jesus who qualified you to walk in health—so healing is yours RIGHT now in Jesus' name!
P.S. Life sometimes throws us a few curveballs... and not just in the area of health. But for everything you're up against, God has promises you can depend on! He helps you bat those curveballs right outta the park.
