Spiritual Maturity: It’s Time to Grow Up – Stephanie Ike Okafor
Many Christians ask, “If the Bible says, ‘By His stripes we are healed,’ why do we still experience sickness?” The answer lies in the authority we’ve been given through Christ. Even in the midst of sickness, we have the power to speak God’s Word and declare healing. As believers, we are not powerless—we are called to stand firm in our spiritual authority.
Let’s go to the Word of God and begin in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your presence in this place. Right now, we cast off every lie, every form of shame, and every intimidation from the enemy. Whatever is trying to hinder Your people—whatever is holding them back—we break it in the name of Jesus. Do what only You can do. Glorify Jesus in this house. In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.
You may be seated. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Lord. Have Your way.
Now, I know we’ve been here for a while, but trust that the Lord is working. The message I’m sharing today is something God placed on my heart for this house. If you’re taking notes, you can title this message: “It’s Time to Grow Up.”
