Fear No Fear

(All scripture from Lexham English Bible, Copyright 2012 Logos Bible Software)

The thief comes only so that he can steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

John 10:10

The devil wants to have everything Adonai has, and if he can’t have that he’ll kill it. He wants to keep you from getting anything purely good – he prefers things that look and feel good, but ultimately hurt and cost you something you don’t want to pay. He wants to take everything about you that is positive and turn it into a negative or into an increasingly diminishing thing that will eventually hurt you more than it helps you. Adonai, however, wants to take every negative thing about you and turn it into Jesus. It is a simple question of which one we want to obey. That which brings death or that which brings life (Romans 6:16). Life is a binary system. We only have two choices: Adonai or not-Adonai.

Death is poverty of life. Death is effective and active because of sin. Sin is disobedience. It is choosing ourselves as our source and being independent from Adonai. If we restore obedience, there is no sin. If there is no sin, death is ineffective and inactive. Obedience generates life. If you want to remove all the effects of death like sickness, disease, deterioration, ailments, mental conditions, negative emotions, shame, toil, unproductiveness, unfruitfulness (not just procreation but in all areas of life and work), uncontrolled environments and the like; REPLACE them with all the effects of life. Be obedient. Don’t listen to other people or look to other sources. Let Adonai be your Source and stand on His Word no matter what. To do that, we need to remain in Jesus. Resting in Jesus is what empowers us to obey. In Jesus there is life. Outside of Jesus there is death (John 15:5). Period.

Sickness is not an issue of wellness. Sickness is not an issue of sin in and of itself. This is not an issue of physical conditions or functions. Sin CAN lead to sickness (John 5:8-9, 14). Sin can also have NOTHING to do with sickness (John 9:2-3). Natural things can lead to sickness. Supernatural things can be the cause of sickness (Luke 13:10-17). In every way sickness is a thief of health. It all comes down to OBEDIENCE. If we are perfectly obedient we will have none of the effects of death (like Jesus when He walked the Earth). But we ALL fall short, don’t we (Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8)? Not in JESUS, though (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus is THE WAY to LIFE, which is TRUTH – objective truth that does not rely on human opinion, knowledge, experience, world-view, feelings, policies, or ANYTHING else. If we love Him, we WILL obey Him (cause and effect). If we obey Him, we will find ourselves abiding in Him. If we abide in Him, we experience the GRACE that brings us LIFE. Not US DOING IT, Adonai GIFTING IT. Not by WORKS, by JESUS. By our trust in our love of Adonai. Through Jesus’ perfect obedience, in Jesus death is no longer active – not death and not ANY of its children. In HIM we have VICTORY. In HIM we have ABUNDANCE. In HIM we have LIFE.

This is not wishing symptoms away. This is choosing to align with Adonai’s Word. This is choosing to listen to Ruach HaKodesh who is CONSTANTLY reminding us of what Jesus has said. This is us to go to where Jesus is. HIS GREEN PASTURE (John 6:10) where His abundance is. When JESUS was tempted, He responded with the Word. Every time. Jesus stood on the Word and what was the result? Victory (James 4:7). The Resurrection to Life isn’t an EVENT. It is a PERSON. The PERSON of JESUS whom Ruach HaKodesh ALWAYS points us toward. This PERSON is the CURE FOR SICKNESS. In JESUS is Abundant Life. If you join Him, you will by Grace through your Trust in His Words about it, experience what He did and LIFE will flood your flesh from your DNA on up as you are FREE from death and INSIDE OF life. Will you age? Yes. Will you deteriorate? NO! No matter how long you hang around, you WILL be in your prime because of Jesus’ abundant life inside of you. It was enough to take a decomposing body and make it alive again. How much MORE will it effect you who are still living? “And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also make alive your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you” (Romans 8:11).

We are slaves to something. We are slaved to obedience or we are slaved to disobedience. Either we have a SOURCE or we are INDEPENDENT. Which one we operate in depends on our love for Jesus. If we love Him by accepting what He did out of love for us, we can change masters. In HIM we can be slaved to obedience. The more we love, the more we double-down on that DECISION. We need to deepen our love of Him and all the rest will follow. The issue of obedience – upon which all else rests – is solved by our love of Jesus who is the ONLY one who ever was or ever will be perfectly obedient. Love Him enough to LISTEN to Ruach HaKodesh. Active listening. Trust Him enough to obey what you have heard. Trust the love in and of Adonai. THAT is our Source. THAT is our victory. And THAT knowledge of His love activates the power that rises up out of us from Him to accomplish everything He has said that YOU have trusted in and believed Him about (Ephesians 3:14-21).

Daily Affirmation of the Goodness of Elohim: Matthew 21:22

“And whatever you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive.” This is SIMPLE. IF we believe, we WILL receive. If we have NOT received, we did NOT believe. We have been empowered by Adonai (Acts 1:8). We have been armoured by Adonai (Ephesians 6:13-18). We have been given His character (Galatians 5:22-23). We have been removed from darkness and ignorance and sin (Colossians 1:13). We are dead to the desires that we once had in FULL. “Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires” (Galatians 5:24). If you believe that, and you ask according to the Will of Adonai (1 John 5:14), you WILL receive it. STAND ON THAT WORD-BASED PROMISE! We have CONFIDENCE. We have ASSURANCE. Is it taking time? It might. Sin is STUPID. It can take some time to get the message. It takes time for electricity to get from point A to point B, but get there it will and it will turn on the LIGHTS! Ask for things the Word says you can have! Stand on those promises and if there is a ‘but’ or a ‘therefore’ which creates a condition? DO THE THING AND QUALIFY! Listen to Ruach HaKodesh who helps us, guides us, and CORRECTS us. If we’re asking wrong, He WILL tell us if we converse with Him with the intent to submit and obey. We are NOT LEFT ALONE. We are NOT LEFT WITHOUT POWER. We are NOT LEFT WITHOUT EQUIPMENT. He has given us ALL WE NEED to have the victories HE SAID WE CAN HAVE and to do the works HE CALLS US TO DO. PERIOD. He’s DONE IT. Believe it. He loves TOO MUCH TO EVER LIE. What a GOOD God!

Your Daily Confession of Elohim’s Goodness:

I taste and see that Yahweh is good; I am blessed because I take refuge in Him.
