The Lord Jesus displayed unusual authority during His earthly ministry; He always expected miracles according to His declarations. He once said boldly, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). In fact, the people who heard Him speak testified to the fact that He spoke with so much authority (Luke 4:36) that the devils had to check out whenever He was around. Jesus was so bold because He knew He was the righteousness of God.
That’s why He was called ‘The Righteous One’ in Acts 7:52 (NIV). The devils recognized Him as the Son of the Most High God (Mark 5:7). This is the reason demons, diseases and death bowed before Him; they had to bow before the Righteous One. Whenever He commanded a demon to come out, they couldn’t disobey and had no right to because they were facing the righteousness of God. Every demon that came in contact with Jesus came in contact with the righteousness of God. The righteousness of God is light; the righteousness of God is power, Hallelujah!
Now the Bible says that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). Every demon that comes face to face with us today comes in contact with the righteousness of God.
This is why we command deaf spirits to come out of deaf ears and the ears are unstopped. This is why we pray for the sick and they are immediately made whole. These things are bound to happen because those unclean spirits, diseases and the spirit of death can’t bear to stand in the presence of the righteousness of God.
When you know you’re the righteousness of God and the full import of this dawns on you, your life will be changed forever; you’d never pray for faith again because Jesus never prayed for more faith. No sickness will be able to stay in your mind or body. You’ll no longer complain of the devil, as he’s not the problem. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Nothing could be better!
