You are not normal! – Saturday, 21 October

“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God…”
1 John 5:1 ESV
 
If you’re a believer, you’ve been born of God.
 
“For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world–our faith.  Who is it that overcomes the 

world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”
1 John 5:4-5 ESV
 
If you’re born of God, you’re a world-overcomer with world-overcoming faith! You’re not struggling for faith. You’re not striving to overcome. You have world-overcoming faith and you have overcome the world. You have overcome the elements of the world (including sin and sickness)!
 
Everything reproduces after its own kind. Plants reproduce plant life. Animals reproduce animal life. Humans reproduce humans. But if you’re a believer, you’re born of God. That means that you have God’s life inside of you. You are not “normal.”
 
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
Romans 8:11 ESV
 
That’s supernatural! The same power that raised Jesus from the dead – the resurrection life and power of God – has taken residence in you (lives in you) and is giving life (and healing) to your mortal body. You are not like everyone else in the world. You are in the same class as God: you are a world-overcomer! You are not subject to sin or sickness – you’re born again avictor over sin and sickness! Hallelujah!
 
“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”
1 John 4:4 ESV 
 
Greater is He in you than he that is in the world! You have the Healer living in you. How can sickness triumph over you? You’re bigger than sickness, disease and every work of the devil!
