For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
When you are in Christ it is a very different relationship with Me than those who are not in Christ. When you are in Christ you are holy, blameless and beyond reproach before Me. He made peace through the blood of His cross, thus reconciling all the lost to Me. In Him you are cleansed of all unrighteousness, that is, of all sin, by His blood and totally released from judgment and condemnation.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:25.
He came to undo the works of the devil, which Jesus defines for you, the devil’s work is to steal, kill and destroy. The devil brings confusion, fear, lack, sickness, torment, and a host of other problems. But it all comes down to keeping you captive to do his Will by not knowing who you are or what you have when you are IN CHRIST JESUS. Because the work of Jesus is to bring you abundant life, life that overflows with goodness. He came to give you back eternal life and that life is IN Him.
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:11-12.
It is My doing that you are IN Christ Jesus. I have put you in Him and sealed you with the Holy Spirit as a pledge of the redemption of your bodies to glorified bodies as well. And with the sin gone, the party is on—the wedding feast of the Lamb. And all My magnificent promises, as many as they be, are all “YES” to you IN Christ Jesus. My blessings rest upon the head of the righteous and in Christ you are made righteous with My own righteousness, which is the highest righteousness.
Let us start with Psalm 103 and the benefits promised to those in Covenant with Me, and when you are in Christ you are in Covenant with Me.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who surrounds and crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who fills your days with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Psalm 103:1-5.
These are all promises and all promises of Mine are “YES” to you in Christ Jesus. These are things you have, and you do not beg for things to which I already have said “YES.” You receive them with gratitude and say “Amen.” In other words, you agree with Me, which is walking in the truth in love.
The first promise here is “who pardons all your iniquities.” And I mean just what I say, “ALL.” Instead of begging to be forgiven or hiding your sins in shame trying to say others were the fault, why not step up and get it all cleared up with Me right now? If you have a sin, past or present, that is causing you to retreat in shame, confess it to Me now, go ahead. And receive My forgiveness in Christ and believe you receive as I have promised. Now thank Me and rejoice. Say with Me: “Thank you, Father, for forgiving me in Christ and cleansing me of all unrighteousness so that I am holy and blameless in your sight.” Then smile at Me and give a joyful shout and know it is taken care of and out of the way forever. In Christ I remember your sins no more for He took them and took care of them. And should you sin, then do this same routine and know the sin is gone. But you should find, as you walk with Me that we become more and more alike until you do not have any desire to sin and are aware of the devil’s activities so that you resist him and then he has to flee from you.
The next promise is “who heals all your diseases.” I am the LORD you healer and this promise is definitely “Yes” to you in Jesus. Too many people are accepting sickness and pain as if it is from Me and pleases Me if you keep it. It does not please Me even a little bit. You have no business permitting sickness to abide in you any more than sin. Sickness is part to the curse and I never put a curse on anyone, just on the ground. I have already healed you of all ailments in Christ, just open wide your mouth so I can fill it with the Word for I sent My Word to heal you.
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.
You will notice I tell you to come to Me with CONFIDENCE and to RECEIVE mercy and FIND grace. None of these are in any way expressing that you may not receive the help you are coming to obtain in your time of need. They are speaking of supply that is available to you at all times. Why? Because in Jesus, I already said “yes.” So you already have your answer you just need to receive the promise from the storehouse of goodness I have for you.
You come and take your healing mercy, forgiveness mercy, provision mercy, and find all the grace to overcome any problem, challenge, trial, or hinderance to your total shalom (well being).
The next promise is “who redeems your life from the pit.” Thank Me for this. This means no fear, lack of provision, depression, accident, or any other trap you get yourself into can keep you down. I have redeemed you. This is a very great promise. When you feel you have slipped into a pit, whether by your own mistakes or the abuse of others, know I will redeem you out of that pit as soon as you have faith to look up at Me and let Me pull you out. Just thank Me that I have already answered you “yes” as to your deliverance. Just grab hold of My hand.
Next comes: “who surrounds and crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion.” I am with you always to surround you with My lovingkindness, care, compassion, fellowship, and partnership but I know it is not good for you to be without human companionship as well. Adam was with Me but he needed one by his side to share his life with who would be a help to him and a partner to encourage and exhort him. So I send you those who are of the family of faith to support and love you through the good times and the times you need someone to stand with you. That is why I give you the Church. Do not absent yourself from assembling with the faithful to support and encourage one another. And I join with you those to help with your assignments who have the skill to do the things you cannot. Like Bezalel for Moses. I gave Moses the plan but Bezalel I gave the skill to understand and make the plan become reality with his artistry. You are all members of the Body of Christ and every part has an important work to do that helps maintain the proper functioning of the body.
And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-13.
Never feel at a loss and like you have no one to reach out to help. Just smile up at Me and watch to see your help pour in.
Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you. Isaiah 60:4-5.
The next promise is, “who fills your days with good things.” This too is “YES” to you in Christ Jesus, from the time you arise to the time you lie down to sleep you can be expecting good things. Every good thing given and every perfect gift comes down from Me, your Father of lights. I will refuse you no good thing. I shower My people with blessings. Ezekiel 34:26. In Christ, they are yours. I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST and you can come with confidence to receive them anytime you have need. Watch your days and you will see every prayer answered and every desire met when you are in Christ Jesus. Thank Me for that now.
And then comes a great promise for you who know the effects of the aging that Adam released by sin into the earth, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. I renew you. I restore you. I keep you. I carry you. I am with you. With Me is the fountain of life and in My light you see light.
If there is an angel at his side, a messenger, one out of a thousand, to tell a person what is right for him, to be gracious to him and say, “Spare him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom for him”– let his flesh be renewed like a child’s; let him be restored to the days of his youth. Then he can pray to God and find favor with him, he will see God’s face and shout for joy; he will restore them to their integrity. He will sing before others and say, ‘I have sinned, and perverted what was right, but I did not get what I deserved. He redeemed me from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.’ God does all these things to a person— twice, even three times— to turn them back from the pit, that the light of life may shine on them. Job 33:23-30.
Do not hesitate to take any promise you find because it is yours IN CHRIST JESUS your Lord but it all starts with repentance for sin. Do not take sin lightly it has caused all the desolation and evil you see so prevalent in the world today. But the answer is simple—take Jesus as your Lord and let Me seal you IN CHRIST and all is new.
Declare this prayer for it is the truth about you:
“Thank you, Father, that you have given me Jesus and put me in Him and given Me His Name, His Blood, and Your Word to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead, feed the hungry, and have full sufficiency for myself in everything pertaining to life and godliness and an overflow for every good work. Thank you that I am your beloved, I am forgiven in Jesus as if I had never sinned, blessed beyond measure, and favored in Your sight. Thank you that Your good plans for my life outnumber the sand because they are now and forever. Thank you for creating me, saving and redeeming me, and taking care of me in every way now and forever. Thank you for your gift of the Holy Spirit to be my helper, guide, and leader who teaches me all things and by whom you have poured your love into my heart so I can know you and be with you forever. I am looking forward to spending eternity with you for You are the love and light of my life. Amen.”
I love you and that is why I put you in Christ.
