Confess, Believe, Receive

If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. -Romans 10:9

It’s so easy to receive from God. God made it easy. He purchased everything we could ever need and then told us, “Just take it.”

Someone may say, “But believing God for healing is so hard” Do you know you’re saved? Isn’t becoming a new creation in Christ the biggest miracle there is?

Well, notice that you don’t hope you’re saved—you know you are. One day you said, “Lord, I believe in my heart Jesus was raised from the dead for me. I receive Him as my Lord and Savior. I’m a new creature in Christ!”

You didn’t have to labor and strain and stand on the Word of God for years to get saved. Neither do you have to get up every morning to see if you still feel saved. You know you’re saved because the Bible tells you so!

Well, if getting saved is the biggest miracle and yet the easiest thing you ever did, would a lesser miracle, such as healing, be more difficult to receive?

No, we receive salvation and healing the same way. They are both part of God’s redemption plan.

You’d be amazed at your results if you simply received healing by faith the same way you once received your salvation. Just say, “Lord, I know in my heart that by Jesus’ stripes I was healed. I receive You as my healer now. Thank God, it’s done!”

Now, don’t check to see if you feel healed. You aren’t healed because you feel better. You’re healed because the Bible says you’re healed. And if you hold fast to your faith, your healing will come to pass!

CONFESSION:

I confess from a believing heart that Jesus is my Savior. I also confess from a believing heart that Jesus is my healer Thank God, I receive my healing now!
