Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired

This morning in worship, the room was half empty.  A stomach virus has been making its way through our community, rendering many of us ill - unable to get out of bed.  And this morning we decided that enough is enough.  We are sick and tired of our community being sick and tired!  We are the children of the King if Heaven.  He has purchased us with His blood and by the stripes of Yeshua, we ARE healed!  Sickness is not our portion from the Father today.  This is not a "name it and claim it" mentality, it is renewing our minds with a right understanding of who we are (children of the Divine Healer) and who God is (The Almighty One).  Nothing is impossible for Him.  We are aligning our minds with the kingdom of God.  If the Kingdom is at hand (what Jesus said), then we are going to reach out and grab it!  In the kingdom there is NO sickness, or disease, or pain.  We won't accept it any longer.  Believing that people just get sick and that's life is exactly what the enemy wants, not to mention completely contrary to scripture!  Yeshua prayed "Our Father, who is in Heaven, hallowed be Your name.  Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."  God is a good Father and no good father likes to see his child ill.  We say, "Come Abba Father and let Your good, perfect and pleasing will be done!"  The realities of heaven are available on earth.  As believers we are to live in the reality.  That means telling sickness to take a hike.  This may sound strange or a little too aggressive for you, but in case you haven't realized...we're in a war.  We realized that this morning in worship.  We are putting on the armor of light and saying "Sickness, you have no place in our lives!"  End of story.  It's amazing what can happen when we take God at His word.

This was our battlecry:

I have decided, I'm gonna take a stand.

I have decided, I'm taking back my land.

I have decided, this far and no more.

I'm gonna take up the sword and fight in the name of the LORD.
