Your Great Escape

Creflo A. Dollar

There is a way out of every negative situation you face in life. There is someone who can help you no matter what you may be going through. There is a means of escaping times of despair, failure and darkness. That way is Jesus Christ! Jesus is your Great Escape from bondage, sickness and financial hardship. He is your means to bypass the snares of the devil and dance your way to victory every time. By trusting Him and His Word in every situation, you will pass each test with flying colors, and move to the next level of success in life.

For those who may question whether Jesus is truly the only way to achieve success and overcome failure in life, look at John 14:6 (The Amplified Bible). It says, "Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me." This scripture reveals a lot about Jesus' role in your life.

First, Jesus says that He is the Way! You can apply this truth to your life by looking at areas where you need help. If you are facing debt and need deliverance, Jesus is the way! If you need healing in your physical body, He is the way to achieve that healing. If you are believing God for an impossible situation to turn around, He is the great escape from that situation. All you have to do is trust that His Word is true. Believe it in your heart and speak what you believe.

Jesus also describes Himself as being the Truth. John 1:14 says that Jesus is the Word of God made flesh. He is the living Word of God! That means no matter what the facts of your circumstances may be, the Word of God presents the truth about the situation and what God can and will do for you if you have faith in Him. So if your baby needs a new pair of shoes, you have a light bill due, your telephone is disconnected and you don't have enough money in your bank account, trust the truth that God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory through and by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Jesus is also the Life. He is the power that can resurrect any dead situation in your life. From your finances to your marital relationships, He holds the key to instilling life no matter where it is needed. What is that life? It is the eternal life that resides in Him; the life God infused Him with when He raised Him from the dead. It is the same life that comes inside your spirit when you accept Him into your heart. It is the life that saves you from eternal separation from God and the authority of the kingdom of darkness.

Finally, Jesus is your gateway to the heavenly Father. Without Him, access is denied. That is why it is so important that you receive Him as your Lord and Savior. The Word says when you pray to the Father, in Jesus' name, your prayers will be answered (John 16:23). Acts 17:28 says it is in Him that we live, move and have our being. Jesus is the bridge to the Father's love and when you connect with Him, you have access to every blessing promised in His Word.

Don't allow the voice of the enemy to drown out the truth of God's Word. Things may look bleak, but rest assured that your hope and trust in Jesus as your great escape guarantees you a way out. Even if you aren't experiencing challenging times right now, rejoice that when the storms of life come, you have an escape hatch. You can continue to experience victory knowing that Jesus is always your way out. All you have to do is open the Bible and believe what God says.
