April Night of Healing

Tonight, the call is to let faith arise in our hearts and to step into the fullness of what God has already accomplished for us. We are not a defeated people, but a victorious one, called to live out the reality of our new identity in Christ. When we are born again, everything changes—our old life passes away, and we are made new by the Holy Spirit. This newness is not just a spiritual concept but a lived reality, meant to be reflected in our daily lives, our attitudes, and our actions. We are joined to Christ, rooted in Him, and called to walk in a way that is distinct from the world, not swayed by empty philosophies or the noise of our culture.

Our completeness is found in Christ alone—not in our achievements, titles, or religious activity. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, empowering us to live victoriously even in the midst of hardship. Life is not without pain or disappointment, but nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Even in our suffering, we are more than conquerors, and our victory is overwhelming because it is secured by Jesus Himself.

God sees our pain and is near to the brokenhearted. Jesus, our High Priest, understands our weaknesses and intercedes for us at the right hand of the Father. He knows what it is to be anguished and distressed, yet He submitted to the will of God. We are called to do the same, trusting that our healing and restoration are not just for ourselves but for the sake of others. Our breakthrough is part of a larger story—one that stretches back to the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and forward to the generations that will come after us.

We are living in a significant moment in history, on the edge of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God is preparing us for a harvest, and every member of the body is needed. Our healing equips us to minister to others, to comfort those who are suffering, and to be witnesses of God’s power and faithfulness. It’s time to stop running, to receive what God has for us, and to be ready to serve in the coming revival.

Key Takeaways

• 1. Identity Rooted in Christ: When we are united with Jesus, our entire identity is transformed. We are no longer defined by our past, our failures, or the world’s standards, but by the new life given to us through the Holy Spirit. This new identity should be evident in how we live, think, and interact with others, setting us apart as people of God. [37:43]
• 2. Victory in the Midst of Hardship: True victory is not the absence of trouble, but the assurance that nothing can separate us from Christ’s love. Even when life is painful and unpredictable, we are more than conquerors because of what Jesus has done. Our victory is not just sufficient—it is overwhelming and surpassing, rooted in the finished work of the cross. [42:45]
• 3. Jesus Understands Our Suffering: Christ is not distant from our pain; He has experienced anguish, distress, and grief. He intercedes for us, understanding our weaknesses and standing with us in our struggles. This gives us confidence to approach God honestly, knowing that He is both compassionate and powerful to help. [44:32]
• 4. Our Healing is for Others: The restoration God brings to our lives is not just for our own benefit, but so we can comfort and minister to others. We are part of a larger story, called to pass on faith and hope to the next generation and to those around us. Our testimony of healing becomes a source of encouragement and strength for others who are suffering. [49:21]
• 5. Preparation for Revival: God is preparing His people for a significant move of His Spirit, and every believer has a role to play. Our readiness to receive healing and wholeness positions us to serve in the coming harvest, ministering to those who will come seeking hope and restoration. It’s time to stop running from God’s call and step into the fullness of what He has for us. [48:28]
