You Give Me Fever (Luke 4:38-39)
We were blessed with divine intelligence at
the time of our creation. Our bodies are designed with defense mechanisms
against infections, viruses, and diseases. Frequently, when the body is battling
an unwelcome foreign element, you will be aware that warfare is taking place
because you will be experiencing a fever. The fever was brought on by
something. What's the reason behind your fever? What's keeping your health from
being at its best?
What's keeping your relationships from working
well together? Are medications preventing your wealth from
overflowing? What's causing your fever? Is alcohol the cause of your fever? Are
smokes the cause of your fever? What's causing your fever, sexual activity,
pornography, or both? What aspect of your life is out of control,
gambling-wise? Who is the source of your fever? Are you infatuated with
someone? Are you addicted to a drug or behavior that prevents you from living
life to the fullest and being the best version of yourself that is causing you
fever?
Knowing
the cause will help me fight it, as our weapons are not karma but powerful
through God to bring down strongholds. We fight principalities and powers, not
flesh and blood, but against the rulers of darkness in this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places in your mind, casting down imaginations and
everything exalted that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing it
into captivity, into the obedience of God. What's the cause of your fever? What are
you fighting for? You must put on the whole armor of God, including the
breastplate of righteousness, the sword of the spirit, the shield of faith, the
belt of what you are fighting against, the gospel of peace evaporating
beneath your feet, and the armor of salvation. After all, there is a fight.
A battle is taking place, but it's not outside of you; instead, it's within you,
much like when your body fights an infection, a virus, or bacteria. Regarding spiritual battle, it's all about what's happening inside you rather than the devil, satan, or demon. You are engaged in internal warfare, but
it is waged in the same manner that we identify and treat the illness's source. You are battling against those antiquated modes of being, seeing,
thinking, speaking, and doing. The temperature can subside.
Jesus
left the synagogue and went to Peter's mother-in-law's house. She was sick and
could not serve them because she was in bed. When they arrived at her house,
there was no fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, string beans,
homemade biscuits, or sweet potato pie. She was also unable to feed them
because she was ill in bed. She could not serve because of a fever, and I
know how near the synagogue is to Peter's mother-in-law's home because I have
been to Israel. What prevents you from getting out of bed and using the abilities, talents, skills, calling, anointing, and sensitivities God has
given you?
However,
when Jesus entered the home, he demonstrated that miracles don't only happen in
the synagogue and sanctuary he also made a house call. She was healed by Jesus
when He arrived at the house; her fever broke, and she got up to serve them,
exercise her gift of hospitality, and start working in the ministry of health
because she had a task to complete for God that she would be better able to do
after her fever subsided. There are greater works inside of you, but the fever must break. I am telling you when the fever breaks, I see you standing fast in a liberated way with Christ, who set you free and not getting
entangled with yoga once more.
There
is a message that you must preach; there is a song that you must write and
sing; there is a poem that is yet to be completed; the fever must break. I
see the object that is tying you up; the noose is loose around your neck, and
the shackles are gone. Just as the fever came, it can go and break so that you
can be your greatest self and live your best life. I see the fever breaking and
you being free. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
