Identity and Authority
(These principles are universal and apply to divine healing or anything God puts in your hand to overcome.)
Yes. Christian Kids are healing the sick in Jesus Name.
Be certain of your identity in Christ since your recognition of who you are will have a direct effect on your authority. It will affect every aspect of your life. It will impact your ability to walk in righteousness, wisdom, knowledge, love, and power over sin, sickness, and death.
Scripture says you are spirit, mind, and body. If you have never thought about this, you may have to take the time needed to understand it.
You have a fleshly nature of your body, but that’s not who you are. Your flesh can’t do right and can’t be reformed. It may not seem like it may be possible to improve your fleshly nature, but Scripture says your flesh was crucified with Christ. It’s already dead.
Your ministry is who you are, but it has nothing to do with your flesh. Every member of Christ’s body has and is a ministry. Your ministry is Christ in you. Christ in you can’t sin.
Your spirit has been joined to the Holy Spirit.
The Bible uses the terms mind, soul, heart, and life as the same thing or very closely related in most cases. Your mind/soul is divided. You have a carnal mind that follows the sin nature of your body. If you have been born again, you also have the mind of Christ. Your will is your own. In every instance, you must decide which of these two minds you will follow. The one you feed is the one that will grow. The battle is for the mind.
Identify with Christ in your spirit and your mind. The carnal is not who you are. If you identify with Christ, you have the authority of Christ in all you do. In healing, you are allowing Christ in you (your true identity) to take authority over your body and correct some problem in the body.
Life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21) Be very careful what you say about yourself when you talk to yourself. Don’t allow your carnal mind to curse you. Let Christ in you speak to you about who you are in Christ and listen and affirm what He says.
The next step will be to stand in God’s Presence listening to His voice so He can lead you.
The final step will be to allow the power of God’s Grace to work healing through you. Let His glory (His Presence or Anointing) to flow through you.
Ask God to answer these questions:
What does it mean to have your identity in Christ?
How can you be spirit, mind, and body at the same time?
Why can’t your flesh do anything right?
How was your flesh crucified with Christ if you weren’t alive back then?
What does it mean that Christ in you can’t sin?
