Gloria Copeland — Confession Of God’s Word

When I made a decision to live my life based on my place
in Jesus Christ, I had to take that place by faith. I couldn’t
earn it. Jesus of Nazareth hung on a cross and paid for
it so I could receive it freely. So when I say, “By His
stripes I am healed,” I am not just quoting a verse of
scripture. It is a statement of where I stand in Him.

If someone were to ask me, “How are you?” I would
say, “Great!” even though physically I may feel very
sick. I am not talking to you from my place in the natural
realm. I am speaking to you based on my position in Jesus
Christ. The Word is absolutely true, and I am speaking and
acting accordingly. Therefore, I believe what I say comes
to pass. I am speaking by faith to exercise that faith and
change my physical condition.

I speak to you based on the Word of God, not my
physical body. His Word is a higher authority than my
body. In doing this, I am putting pressure on the scripture
that says, “By His stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). I
am putting my faith in the Word of God by obeying what
Jesus said: “He shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23).
These scriptures are strong and they will uphold us.

Christians have often misunderstood the confession
of faith because it is hard for them to call things that are
not as though they were. But the Bible says this is what
God does.

One lady I know was rolled up in a ball with muscular
dystrophy when her family took her back to the hospital to
die. They had to carry her in a sheet because she could not
move, but she would not leave the house unless someone
would get her shoes. She said, “Go get my shoes or I am not
going! When Jesus raises me up, I don’t want to walk on
those cold hospital floors in my bare feet.”

They got her shoes and took her to the hospital.
Jesus appeared to that woman in the middle of the night
and raised her up. They said when her bones and body
straightened out it sounded like somebody shooting a gun
in that room.
