The Word of God talks much about ownership. What belongs to us. Those things of which we are to have possession.
Until we come to a full realization of what God intends for us to own in our life, it can be withheld from us or taken from us once we do get it. We have to understand what it means to possess what God has ordained.
To possess means that we hold it. We enjoy it. It’s ours and it’s a gift from God. We have no problem in taking ownership of our house or taking ownership of our car. But what about taking ownership of being healed and having a healthy body. Owning your calling. Taking ownership of your skills and abilities and the success you can have through those. You also take ownership of souls being saved and people coming to God. You own the responsibility of a good relationship or good family and friends.
It’s time for us to act as a person who is the owner of everything God has planned for us and we’re going to keep it.
Eyesight healed.
This is what a woman did who was losing ownership of her eyesight. She was having trouble with her eyes. Now when something such as that happens, you have to remember God promised you good health in His Word. So don’t relinquish what belongs to you. And she didn’t!
She made contact with us right away, and we began to do spiritual warfare with her against what a disease was taking from her. We decided to take it back. So after prayer and standing in faith and believing God’s Word, she has now given us a praise report. Her eyes are so much better. The one eye that she couldn’t see out of is now clear and she can see.
Since then, we have received a second update from her that the process continues to get even better. Her healing is being completed.
Now that’s huge! If you’ve ever had your sight messed with you know it’s a big deal to get it back. But that’s what God is saying. “Remember I made you the owner! I have promised you this. So when the enemy attempts to take it from you, regain it. It belongs to you.”
You must refuse to be shortchanged! Shortchanged means that something is taken from you, something of value. Your name is on it. It’s given to you by God, but something or someone has tried to take it. So as the owner you have a responsibility to have faith for what is yours.
For instance, when something comes against your health, you know that God promises that good health is yours, and you have that as a gift from Him. So when something attempts to take it from you, you take ownership of your health and your well-being. You refuse to allow that to be withheld. You won’t be shortchanged. You believe you will be given what is rightfully yours in spite of what you see happening.
The devil tries to convince us we can’t have ownership of the blessings and promises and position God has planned for us. When he reaches in and tries to snatch those from us, we say, “Hey, wait a minute. I own that.” We won’t relinquish those to him. We stand in faith for what is ours.
So God is coming to you now, and in the face of what’s missing or what’s on the borderline of being taken from you, He’s saying to regain what belongs to you! You can get it back. Recoup it. Whatever the enemy has tried to capture, go in and recapture.
When the man David had just been named the new King of Israel, his perpetual enemy, the Philistines, decided to take him out. They were going to take away from him the calling and anointing God had for his life. He was the new kid on the block so they would be able to defeat him before he got started.
The Bible describes how the Philistines spread themselves in the valley where David could see them. They were trying to cause fear and intimidation in him. Don’t ever allow the devil to make you back away from what you know God has given you because of fear or intimidation.
When David asked the Lord if he should go up against the Philistines, the response he received was, Go up! I will surely deliver them into your hand. (Ref. II Samuel 5:19.) David and his army went out against the enemy and had a great victory. That’s because he wasn’t willing to give up the responsibility and position that God had given him.
Recognize what God has given you and don’t allow it to be taken from you. You own it!
Spiritual Powerline to say out loud:
“I OWN THAT AND I’M NOT GIVING IT UP!”
Here is a powerful prayer to say out loud:
Lord, I know You have put very special people and responsibilities and blessings in my life. I’m not going to give them up. So I believe You will help me regain what has tried to be taken from me. In the name of Jesus, I will have a great victory. Amen and amen.
