Miracle Healing Service – October 4, 2018
By Faith We Stand in Victory!

Smith Wigglesworth said, “Never look back if you want the power of God in your life.

“Life in Christ is not a natural life; it is a supernatural life.

“It is impossible to overestimate the importance of being filled with the Holy Spirit.”

 

  1. Power is released in our lives when we know how to fight our enemy, Satan.

Revelation 12:10,11
10
Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

11 “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 (NKJV).

 

  1. “Accuser” = a complainant at law
  2. “The Blood of the Lamb” = our lawful access to the power of God
  3. “The word of our testimony” = the declaration of our innocence in Christ

 

  1. The weapon of sickness shall have no effect on the believer.

Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD (NKJV).

  1. We condemn the voices of judgment.

 

  1. Our position in Christ is well-explained in the Mirror Bible. This is our defense.

1:3 Let’s celebrate God! He lavished every blessing heaven has upon us in Christ!

1:4 He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world! Jesus is God’s mind made up about us! He always knew in his love that he would present us again face-to-face before him in blameless innocence. (The implications of the fall are completely cancelled. We are presented in blameless innocence before him!)

1:7 Since we are (fully represented) in him, his blood is the ransom that secures our redemption. His forgiving our sins measures the wealth of his grace.

1:8 This grace shown towards us communicates a wisdom and discernment of our worth that completely surpasses any definition.

1:9 The secret is out! His cherished love dream now unfolds in front of our very eyes.

1:10 In the economy of the fullness of time, everything culminates in Christ. All that is in heaven and all that is on earth is reconciled in him. (“All human history shall be consummated in Christ, everything that exists in heaven or earth shall find its perfection and fulfillment in him.” — Phillips. “All that is in heaven, all that is on earth, summed up in him!” — Knox)

1:14 The Holy Spirit is our tangible link to the inheritance that was ransomed and preserved for us. God’s glorious plan for mankind is the theme of our celebration.

1:19 I pray that you will understand beyond all comparison the magnitude of his mighty power at work in us who believe. Faith reveals how enormously advantaged we are in Christ.

1:20 It is the same dynamic energy that he unleashed in Christ when he raised him from the dead and forever established him in the power of his own right hand in the realm of the heavens.

1:21 Infinitely above all the combined forces of rule, authority, dominion or governments; he is ranked superior to any name that could ever be given to anyone of this age or any age still to come in the eternal future.

1:22 I want you to see this: he subjected all these powers under his feet. He towers head and shoulders above everything. He is the head…

2:5 This is how grace rescued us: sin left us dead towards God, like spiritual corpses; yet in that state of deadness and indifference, God co-quickened us together with Christ. Sin proved how dead we were (the law confirmed it!) Grace reveals how alive we now are (the gospel announces it!) Before anyone but God believed it, he made us alive together with him and raised us up together with him. (We had no contribution to our salvation! God’s master-plan unfolded in the mystery of the gospel declaring our joint inclusion in Christ’s death and resurrection; God found us in Christ before he lost us in Adam! [Eph 1:4] In the economy of God, when Jesus died we died. God saw us in Christ, in his death and resurrection before we saw ourselves there! He declared our co-resurrection with Christ 800 BC [Hos 6:2]!)

2:6 (As much as we were co-included in his death) we are co-included in his resurrection. We are also elevated in his ascension to be equally present in the throne room of the heavenly realm where we are co-seated with him in his executive authority. We are fully represented in Christ Jesus. (Our joint position in Christ defines us; this can never again be a distant goal to reach through religious devotion or striving, but our immediate reference. Col 3:1-3)
