| According to Bible studies from Kenneth Copeland, | | | | strength and perfect balance, which is our true and |
| we have authority over this realm and with prayer | | | | divine nature. With that precept as he spoke, |
| we exercise our authority, not by begging, but by an | | | | touched, or prayed perfect balance, and even the |
| authoritative command to our situation, sickness, | | | | life, was restored. Jesus also said that all that he was |
| weakness, to angels, fear etc. For example, instead | | | | able to do; we were not only able and capable of |
| of saying "please God heal her." You instead speak | | | | doing but that we could do more. Many times Jesus |
| directly to the sickness and you say with authority | | | | reflected back to the person her/his own wants. |
| "Sickness, you get off her now!! Her body is made | | | | "What do you want me to do?" "What do you want |
| well and you can't have her." " I take authority over | | | | done?" He made her/him speak out loud exactly |
| this situation right now in the name of Jesus." | | | | what she/he wanted. Then most times in doing what |
| To angels we might say, "Angels, move now on her | | | | was asked he would say, "Then according to your |
| behalf for whatever she needs right now." The | | | | words it is done." "Your faith has made you well." |
| Christians speak in the name of Jesus because in his | | | | If you want more from your prayer life --start by |
| life he was a being of light that acted with supreme | | | | taking authority. Declare the outcome!! Don't believe |
| authority over sickness, imbalance, and even death. | | | | in the sickness, or the real life picture that you may |
| He was not moved by what he saw. He was moved | | | | see. Dismiss it. Instead stand by what you know and |
| by what he knew. He knew that he was completely | | | | the authority that you are given when you inherited |
| divine and that the divine essence was in everything, | | | | by Jesus' examples of many moments that came |
| therefore when he spoke he would directly activate | | | | before that seemed hopeless. He did something |
| the power and authority of that divine essence, and | | | | about and you can too. Keep that image of wellness |
| what he spoke would come into existence. (Read the | | | | in your mind and don't be swayed from it. Remember |
| Course in Miracles for more insight.) | | | | God is always willing!! |
| He only held the picture in his mind of wellness, | | | | |
