Jesus Destroyed the Works of the Devil

For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. ---1 John 3:8

Where does sickness, poverty and depression come from? We have to find the source of the problem before we can get rid of it. So, let’s look at the reason Jesus came to the earth. Isaiah 9:6 tells us that Jesus was going to be born and the government (of heaven) would be on His shoulder. He came to bring God’s kingdom and its government back to this earth. Then, as a result of Jesus’ life and carrying out the will of the Father, Jesus demonstrated the vastness and depth of God’s love for mankind. The cross was the completion of Jesus’ task and that was to take ALL of our sin, sickness and depression upon Himself and destroy the works of the devil once and for all. Jesus defeated Satan and the grave of death so we can live God’s kind of life (zoe) on this earth now and when we pass over into eternity, to live with God and Jesus. Now, that is Good News!!!!

There are people who are just beginning to walk by faith. But even though they are learning to believe and confess the truth of God’s Word, they still have that old doubt-filled thinking dogging them. They are thinking, “God may want me sick for a purpose. This poverty may be sent from God to teach me something.” Or, “God will restore my friend, but I can’t imagine God wanting to restore me!”

If that’s what you’re thinking; you won’t be healed or restored. Your faith will never operate beyond your knowledge of God’s will. You have to know a sound mind, health and prosperity is God’s will before you can believe for it. By the way, the original meaning of prosperity is to move ahead, push forward, to be prosperous.

So feed your spirit on healing Scriptures that tell you God wants you healthy, to have a sound mind (without confusion or depression) and to always be moving ahead in your life, your soul and your body. Fill your mind with the Word so those old, doubt-filled thoughts can’t even find a way to get in! Scripture tells us that “without faith, it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6) Your faith can make you whole—if you know what you believe and that will please God!

Confession: It’s God’s will for me to be healed, live in health, and be whole in mind and body. Sickness, poverty and depression don’t come from God and He doesn’t use negativity to teach me. Jesus destroyed the works of the devil, so I can live free of the torments of the devil!
