BE ENCOURAGED!
"I will give you strength and bless you with peace... I will preserve you and keep you alive... I will strengthen you upon the bed of languishing; I will turn all your bed in your sickness." (Psalm 29:11, 41:2, 41:3)

As far as Heaven is concerned, the devil has been stripped of all power! Jesus solved the sin problem, failure problem, fear problem, depression problem, sickness problem, poverty problem and every problem that will ever be named. Glory! It's your responsibility not to give the devil any of that power back.
Jesse Duplantis Ministries Having Jesus' peace doesn't mean you stick your head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong. That's foolishness. The world calls it denial.
No, you don't deny - you defy! You defy that problem by facing it head-on with the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and the words of your mouth. Then, until the manifestation of your miracle appears, hook your faith into the peace of God and refuse to be troubled. Jesse Duplantis Ministries "I have found a ransom for you, your flesh shall be fresher than a child’s and you shall return to the days of your youth... I have healed you and brought up your soul from the grave; I have kept you alive from going down into the pit." (Job 33:24, 25, Psalm 30:1, 2)
BE ENCOURAGED! ☼ Remain Steadfast In The Faith
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9Resist him, steadfast in the faith…" (1 Peter 5:8–9) When I was a teenager, I was taught that if I wanted to resist the devil, I had to rebuke him. So whenever an evil thought came to my mind or I was tempted, I found myself saying, “I resist you, devil, in Jesus’ name! I bind you, devil! Go away from me, devil! I rebuke you in Jesus’ name!” This went on until God showed me one day that though I had “resisted” the devil, I had spent more time talking to him than to God! I was more conscious of the devil than of God throughout the day. I checked the Word of God and realized that we resist the devil not by focusing on resisting him, but by being established in the faith that we are made right with God through Jesus’ blood, that we are the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) Yes, the devil will continue to remind you of your mistakes, failures and sins. And he will tell you that because of these things, you cannot receive your healing, that you will have to pay for your mistakes or that something bad will happen to your family. He will accuse you, condemn you and try to persuade your heart to believe that he can do bad things to you. But the truth is that the devil cannot enforce anything in your life if he cannot persuade your heart. And your heart cannot be persuaded if it is “steadfast in the faith”, if it is established in righteousness. God says that once you are established in righteousness, “You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you”. (Isaiah 54:14) So now that my heart is established in righteousness, I can boldly declare, “Yes, I may have these problems in my life, but I am not guilty in God’s eyes. I am justified in God’s eyes by faith because of what Christ has done. I am righteous by Jesus’ blood!” My friend, that is how you resist the devil and become undevourable! > Thought For The Day We resist the devil not by focusing on resisting him, but by being established in the faith that we are the righteousness of God in Christ.

BE ENCOURAGED! Never, ever, ever give up believing that the Lord will perform a miracle in your life—He is not a respecter of persons. So why not for you and through you?
Jesse Duplantis Ministries "It will be well with you and your days shall be multiplied and prolonged as the days of heaven upon the earth... I turned the curse into a blessing unto you, because I loved you." (Deuteronomy 11:9, 21, 23:5 and Nehemiah 13:2)
BE ENCOURAGED! ☼ Speak Blessings Over Your Family
"For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12) What do you believe and say to your loved ones every day? For orthodox Jews, on Friday evenings in their homes, the father lays his hands on his children and pronounces God’s blessings over them. No wonder Jewish children grow up to be winners in the fight of life! They become some of the world’s greatest inventors, bankers, musicians and entertainers. Although a minority race, the Jews have produced the most number of Nobel Prize winners. I believe that it is because they bless their children in the same way the patriarchs of the Old Testament did. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob released God’s blessings upon their children by laying hands on them and speaking forth the blessings. (Genesis 27:27–29, 38–40; 48:14–16) In the New Testament, the apostles pronounced blessings over the churches they were preaching to. To the church in Philippi, Paul declared, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) John released a powerful blessing upon Gaius when he said, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2) Even Jesus pronounced a blessing of deliverance on the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman — “go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter”. (Mark 7:29) This was a blessing of deliverance by proxy. The woman took it by faith and found that her daughter was well when she reached home. (Mark 7:30) Likewise, the centurion took the blessing by faith and healing came upon his servant back home. (Matthew 8:8–13) The parents of a little girl did the same thing while worshiping in our church. Their daughter was in hospital in the final stages of cancer. When I pronounced the blessing of healing that Sunday, they received it and pronounced it over their daughter. She was soon discharged from the hospital healed! My friend, bless your loved ones. Declare over them, “The Lord blesses you and surrounds you with His favor as with a shield.” Speak forth your own blessings by declaring, “Thank You Lord, You prosper me and I am in excellent health!” > Thought For The Day Pronounce God’s blessings over your children and they will grow up to be winners in the fight of life. Joseph Prince "I will take sickness away from the midst of you and the number of your days I will fulfill... I will not put any of the diseases you are afraid of on you, but I will take all sickness away from you." (Exodus 23: 25, 26, Deuteronomy 7:15)
