I don’t want to be identified as a person who lives in despair or poverty or sickness or even as a survivor of these things. I will however share things about trials I have faced when I’m led to; though they are not who I am anymore. For many years, I lived my life at the bottom; taking pity from anyone because of where I was, instead of rising above my circumstances.

As a believer my identity is supposed to be in Christ. Jesus boldly confessed HIS identity and purposes throughout the Gospels and NOT his enemies. Therefore, I should not give any glory or even any attention to sickness or tribulations or trials. I am to shift my attention from them to who my identity in Christ is and His purposes for me, using the Sword of the Spirit. When I do this my faith rises and I overcome. I don’t live expecting bad things to happen or anticipate them happening. Therefore, because of the shift in my thought life I do not experience half of the battles I used to.

We are to use all things we’ve overcome as pads to launch us further into greater things; enlightening the eyes of our hearts in the riches available to us in Christ Jesus (Eph 1).

The Bible says we are to keep our eyes fixed on Him not on the devil or his tactics. There’s a miracle in our mouths and minds. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).

I challenge you to test this in your own life. I can tell you that I began noticing that when I changed what was coming out of my mouth from the cares and worries of my life to the expectations of the Promises of God being fulfilled that my life radically changed.

2 Cor 13:5 says examine yourself to see if you’re in the faith. Build yourself up in your most holy faith; not the enemy.

Think about this: If you’re in the same boat as other people around you, there’s a good chance you’re in the same the boat battling just as they are too. Get out of the boat and walk on water just like Jesus. He’s our example we’re to follow.

I am glad that no one pitied me when I was lagging behind because of my lifestyle choices. More than twenty years ago my brain continued healing over a period of years, with lots of tears and angst; I was pushed by family to keep going. No one in my circle felt sorry for me but they just kept pushing me to keep moving forward. It was not easy. NO, IT WAS NOT.

Even after that time when my brain would lapse in memory, I’d experience fogginess that I couldn’t escape. I did have seizures at different times both day and night for many years but I was encouraged to keep pushing forward.

When I was sick of being sick the Holy Spirit gave me revelation knowledge of what rightfully belonged to me, despite my previously bad decisions that led me to where I was. He said in John 19:30 the debt was paid in full. He helped me to see that God is a restorer of the breach (Is 58:12). And that it was His will to heal me (Is 53). That He does not steal, kill or destroy but gives life and life abundantly (John 10:10).

I certainly don’t know what my life would look like today had I not come to understand what is mine in the Spiritual realm through Christ Jesus. The enemy tried to squash me way too many times; physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually. I experienced near-death experiences in my waking after seizures, or after taking bad seizure medication that my Doctor prescribed. Even being put in a mental institution two times after taking medicine my Dr prescribed me.

God always spared my life and helped me to pull through as I knew there was still more for me to accomplish here on earth with His help. And pushing through with the help of the Holy Spirit I got up in faith and pressed through. Using God’s Word I strengthened myself mentally, physically, emotionally and most importantly Spiritually. I became the new creation He was crafting me to be.

I know who I’m not in my strength but I also know who I am in Christ. His strength is made perfect in my weakness and His grace sufficient for each day (2Cor 12:9). His mercies are new every morning and He is FAITHFUL to the end; His love is unending, and immeasurable (Lam 3:22-24, Eph 3:19).

“Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.” Then he added,“Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them” (Mark 4:23-25).

“My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them.
Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body. Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life (Proverbs 4:20-23).

Isaiah 45:3 TPT
[3] I will give you hidden treasures of darkness and wealth waiting in secret sites so that you recognize me, for it is I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name!

I don’t want to be identified by any sickness or disease; even as a survivor. Because my identity is in Christ.

Jesus bodly confessed His identity and purpose throughout the Gospels not his enemies. I don’t give any glory or even any attention to sickness. I shift my attention from sickness to my identity in Christ and His purposes for me. 

Yes I will share things regarding healing when led to but I need to shift my focus from those things which are behind and press into the better things in Christ Jesus.

Use those overcomings in health as a pad to launch further into greater things by Christ Jesus.

The Bible says to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus not on the devil or his tactics. There’s a miracle in your mouth. Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21).
