I learned about claiming my birthright several years ago. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ paid for all my sin, sickness, poverty, and release from captivity of the devil. I am no longer bound by the curse of the law, but I am free and a child of God. I have a positional standing of righteousness being covered by the blood of Jesus.
I was very sick. I had an inoperable tumor at the base of my brain. I had been to several doctors and oncologists that tried the usual regimens of chemotherapy and radiation, with little result. Because of the location of the tumor, surgery was ruled out. Nine times I was told there was nothing more they could do. I would live until I died and it probably wouldn't be a long time. There was an experimental treatment that they could try, something called "proton acceleration". Because I was young enough and had good insurance, I was a candidate for the treatment. I went to Madison University Hospital and had the treatment.
During that time, I cried out, "God, heal me or kill me because I can't live like this anymore." It was then that John 10:10 came to life for me. The verse says, "the thief comes not but to kill, steal, and destroy; but I have come that you might have life and life abundant." This verse changed my life. It suddenly struck me that if I didn't have abundant life, then I didn't have everything that Christ bought and paid for with his own life. I was being robbed by a thief. The thief was killing my body, stealing my mind, and destroying my life. So I got angry. I got madder than I've ever been.
In the Spirit, I marched right up to the courtroom of Heaven. Before me stood the judgment seat, and God was sitting on it. I knew it was God, but all I could see was light so bright that it was blinding. On my right were angels, on my left were demons. The demons were shouting out every rotten thing I'd ever done in my life. The angels were silent. I heard someone say, "what do you have to say for yourself?"
I said, "I'm bringing Your own Word to you today, God. I didn't write it, You did. I didn't make it up, You did. Now either You're God, or You're not, and I believe You are. Either Your Word is everlasting and true, or it's not and I believe it is. You said that the thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy and that's exactly what he's done to me. But You also said that Jesus came to give me abundant life and I don't have it. You said I have a covenant with you now, because I have believed in Your Son. You said I was transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. And You said that when a thief is found out, he must restore seven-fold what he was taken. I'm here to remind You of Your Word and to claim what You said is mine. I will no longer accept death! I refuse to settle for anything less than ALL that You promised me, God. I am guilty of many sins, but Your Word says I am not condemned because there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and I put my trust in Jesus and my life in Your hands. I cry for justice! Perform Your Word on my behalf and You be the judge."
From that day forward, I got better and better, healthier and healthier. The doctors are amazed that not only am I cancer-free, but I have full brain function again. I have maintained perfect, divine health for over 8 years now.
God's Word is true and He is faithful. No one can ever convince me that He doesn't mean what He says. My faith is rock-solid because His Word is proven true in my life and I am a living witness of that. I intend to live the rest of my life in thanks to God and continue to claim the right of my re-birth in Christ. One thing I know - there is life abundant in the Lord and His Word is more than sufficient for every need, no matter how great.
