You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
Most of us at one time have been to a circus or at least seen one on television. So, we’re familiar with the act of a lion and its trainer. But have you ever wondered why, besides holding a whip, the trainer would arm himself with a stool and point its legs toward the lion?
The whole idea is to distract the lion. You see, as powerful as the lion is, it can be immobilized by distractions. If this man-eating beast is not distracted, it might just decide to maul the trainer to death.
The devil is like the trainer. He knows that you have God’s power inside you because the Lion of Judah is in you, and “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” So, what the devil tries to do is immobilize you with distractions.
For example, he may bring to your attention a pain in your body to distract you. And you find yourself going to a few medical journals or the Internet to find out more about the symptoms. You also decide to consult more than one doctor. And because you know of someone who has the same condition, you talk to them about it.
In the end, you are distracted by the pain, the symptoms, your findings, the doctor’s reports, and your friend’s experience. And you find it hard to believe and focus on God’s Word about your healing. You have become immobilized, powerless, and fearful.
So, the devil's trick is to get you to focus on your condition. When you are conscious of the symptoms in your body and your findings, you will see sickness manifest. But God wants you to focus on who you are and what you have IN CHRIST. When you are conscious that you are the healed IN CHRIST, you will see healing manifest.
Friends, in short, what you are conscious of will manifest. So be conscious of Christ, who is all the power of God inside you, and you will see that power manifest. PTL
