Effectiveness in Christ have immediate results

Every person can decide right now to have the effectiveness of Christ in his/her life . It will have immediate results if it is done in faith .

God's desire is to be effective in you . In fact He has already fulfilled every requirement for it to happen in your life . He opened the way to His effectiveness in your life by giving you the faith that is necessary for it to happen . You can answer to His call to you to be effective in everything you do , by believing Him and confessing what you believe with your mouth .

Now many people confess positively ,but it doesn't work for them . They confess “God will heal me ,but they don't get healed . They confess “ God will give me a job “ , but they don't get work .

The reason is that they don't make enough room for Jesus Christ in their heart .

You can never be effective in anything you ask for or do ,if you make room in your heart for Christ ,but also for worldly things that can fail .

If you want to be healed by doctors then make room for them to help you . Do what they say you must do . Take the medicine they prescribe for you . They may fail ,but that is your decision to go the route of trusting in doctors . Don't misunderstand me , I am not against doctors and medical intervention and treatment. They can be effective , they can help you in most circumstances . They are part of the gifts of grace to the world . Without them many people will perish and die .

What I am saying is that there is a more perfect way , a more effective way for you to get healed

That is the way of the effectiveness of Christ . It is within your reach . It is very close to you . You can decide to pursue His perfect way or not . You can decide to make room for Him only .

In fact His way is so effective it can help you not to get sick in the first place . Something went wrong when you are sick . I don't say it in a judgemental or degrading way . I say it because the Word of God says it . I say it to help you , not to make you feel bad because you have a disease .

Before I understood the power and effectiveness of Christ in me , I also got sick on a regular basis

Now it does not happen anymore . Not because I am so good or faithful , no , no, absolutely not ,but because God is effective in me . He does everything . He even helps me to make room for Him in my heart . I believe His Word and confess it while I have room for Him only in my heart .

I do what He shows me to do . I say what He says I must say . I go where He says I must go .

I don't look at bad circumstances and doubt whether He could really help me . I only look at Him . He has never let let me down . No not even once .

If He says to me that He will heal me ,then I don't run to the doctors as well . I don't give room in my heart to other options as well . If He says to me “you better go to a doctor to help you ,then I will go . If they fail to heal me ,then I can't blame God . I made the decision to consider a alternative resource for my healing . His offer to heal me stood firm ,but I doubt it , that is why He said to me to make use of some other resource . It is there by His grace for people to use .

It is never too difficult for you to believe Him . He will never allow you to be tempted above what you can do . 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJVCNT

(13) There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above that you are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

When I am healthy It is very easy to train my mind to make room for Him only . I don't wait till I am in agonizing pain and then try to have faith in Him only . It is not the best time to do it . No ,build your house before the storm comes . You will find that you can prevent the sickness to settle in your body . The point is , you are redeemed from all manner of sickness and disease by His offer on the Cross on your behalve . He took all the sickness and disease that can ever take hold of your body on Him . He redeemed us from it . There is no purpose in it if you get sick . God is not honoured by your sickness . God definitely don't make any person sick to achieve some spiritual goal . His goal for you is to be in perfect health all the time . Sickness will knock at your door for sure . Satan will try to make you sick . It depends on God to prevent the sickness from developing further in your body . His answer is “ I don't want it to happen , I have redeemed you from all sickness , let's get rid of the sickness “ . You are the only one that can prevent Him from healing you by not believing Him , by starting to compromise , to convince yourself and the people close to you that there is a better alternative than Him .

If you make an error like that ,God is always ready to heal you as He promised you in the first place . It is never too late . If you continue in your own ineffective ways ,you may perish and die .

Psalms 103:1-6 BBE

(1) Of David. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let everything in me give praise to his holy name.

(2) Give praise to the Lord, O my soul; let not all his blessings go from your memory.

(3) He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

(4) He keeps back your life from destruction, crowning you with mercy and grace.

(5) He makes your mouth full of good things, so that your strength is made new again like the eagle's.

(6) The Lord gives decisions in righteousness for all who are in trouble.

Matthew 8:14-17 BBE

(14) And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

(15) And he put his hand on hers and the disease went from her, and she got up and took care of his needs.

(16) And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

(17) So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

Make room for Him only . Confess His promises to you . Believe what God shows you in the spirit ,it is always possible , it is always stronger than anything that can come against you . It is also valid ,not only for sickness but also for poverty , depression , lack of peace etc. in your life .

Walk in the spirit . Walk in His Light only . Don't let your senses and other people's advice and remarks make it difficult for you to stay on His perfect way and be blessed by it .

I thank God for your heart to receive His promises and act on it .

You will be blessed by His presence and power in you .

What a wonderful experience it is when His power burn away sickness and disease ,poverty and depression in you .
