You’re a Special Breed

The above scripture is extraordinary; it reveals something striking about you—the Christian. You’re superior to sickness, disease, and infirmity. You have a life that can’t be infected by any disease pathogen. You can’t be poisoned or destroyed. It makes no difference that you were told that a certain poison or virus has gotten into your system; it shall have no power over you. In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” This is either true or false, but thank God it’s true!

Live with the consciousness that you’re a partaker of the divine nature. Don’t join the bandwagon of those who are flustered and rattled by the spread of infectious diseases. The life in you is divine; it’s not sustained by blood but by the Spirit of God who lives in you. That’s what Romans 8:11 declares: “…If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

This verse has become your vital reality; now that the Holy Spirit lives in you, He is the life of your physical body. Christians are people who have come from death and the grave through Christ Jesus. They’re a different breed. That’s why the Bible says, “But you are a chosen generation…” (1 Peter 2:9). The word translated “generation” here is the same word for “breed.” You’re a special breed, superior to anything that’s of the devil.

Maybe you’ve even been diagnosed with an incurable disease; as you read this, declare the Word until the divine life in you gains the ascendancy. Take charge from the realm of the spirit, and subdue your body and environment. Declare that you live above sickness, disease, and death!
