Abundant Life

John 10:10 I have come that they might have life …

Did you know that you can pray the word of God over situations in your life and they will change. The word of God is living and powerful (Hebrews 4:12) and has the power to change circumstances. I remember a time when I was very sick and the doctors did not know what was wrong. I could keep not food down for several weeks. I was losing weight rapidly and was dehydrated. I had read about using scriptures for healing and decided to try it. I looked up every scripture I could find in the Bible that had anything to do with health and healing. I found scriptures such as:

Isaiah 53: 5 – … with his stripes we are healed.

Exodus 15:26 – I am the Lord who heals you.

Jeremiah 30:17 – I will restore your health and heal your wounds.

I made a list of these scriptures and began to read them like a prayer several times every day. I can’t say exactly when it happened, but the word of God began to strengthen me. Eventually the doctors realized that my gallbladder was not working and I had surgery. However, even before the surgery I was well. God had touched me as I prayed through his word.

Is there a situation in your life that you need God to touch? Maybe you need a financial blessing? Perhaps a loved one is sick in body or suffering from depression? No matter the ailment, God’s word has the answer. Here is a scripture for you to pray over your life.

John 10:10- The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Begin to thank God for abundant life today. Speak life into your body and ask him to reverse sickness. Speak life into your finances and ask him to break the cycle of poverty. Ask God to restore anything that the enemy may have stolen from your life. Praise him for abundant life and expect to see things change. The word of God is powerful and will act as a medicine when applied to the situations of our lives in faith. Thank God for abundant life today and watch things change!

Living Abundantly,
