1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,760 Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,160 from St. Augustine, FL. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:17,120 Now enjoy this message. Well, as I was praying today, 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,760 you know, obviously there's so many directions you can go when 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,560 you've been ministering the word of God for, you know, 3 decades 6 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,640 now and. You know, sometimes it's just 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,159 good to say what do you want to do. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,520 I mean, I when I say that, I'm always saying that. 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,160 But sometimes you get a heading and you're already moving. 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Sometimes you have no heading and you're just like, where are 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,760 we going? And you know, so it is my 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,320 custom, you know, to pray and then also just read the word. 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,520 I like to read the word before I get into study, just because I 14 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,800 like to feed myself. And I'm not looking for a 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,280 message when I'm reading, but it doesn't mean they don't 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,400 sometimes show up. Today, though, the Lord was 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,880 pretty specific with me, you know, because I was kind of 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,120 getting some unction that, you know, I don't really need to 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000 study. I just need to go pray because, 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,120 you know, God's going to do something. 21 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,240 And now that doesn't mean I'm not praying. 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,600 It's just that sometimes you put yourself a little bit more in 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,760 prayer because. His direction is coming out of 24 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,600 prayer more so than it's coming out of just reading the word in 25 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,480 it. All of a sudden something comes 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,800 to light. But I got an impression of my 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,640 spirit because, you know, it's obvious when the need is around, 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,440 God wants to meet that need. So you know, unfortunately, as 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,520 believers, we like to keep God in the spooky category. 30 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,120 Now what do I mean by that? You know the mystery side. 31 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,560 We don't want nobody to know about nothing that's going on. 32 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,480 And then all of a sudden, God uses somebody to tell you 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,880 everything going on in your life. 34 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,040 And you're like, nobody could have known that but God. 35 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,600 And we like, elevate that to, like, the highest level, OK. 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,240 Those times come. God does use those times again 37 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,920 to gain our attention or to communicate to you that he is 38 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,120 very much aware of what's going on in your life as far as even 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,480 to the point of how much hair is on your head. 40 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,520 OK. But you understand, God doesn't 41 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:28,520 doesn't have to keep himself in that position, nor do we need to 42 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,400 keep him in that position to receive. 43 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,080 Because sometimes Jesus is asking what do you want? 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,600 He wants to know naturally before he does something. 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,840 That means you're telling me, OK, I now I'm going to meet what 46 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,840 you told me. Because again, we put God in 47 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120 these boxes where, you know, if God's going to do something for 48 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,440 me, then it's got to be kind of out of nowhere. 49 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Nobody knows. It's super mysterious as opposed 50 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720 to. Here's what's going on and God's 51 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,200 like, fine, I'll meet. That are you. 52 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:07,000 Hearing what I'm saying, so the Lord obviously put an impression 53 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,960 in my spirit, he said. Lot of symptoms going around, so 54 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,120 I just want you to lay hands on the sick tonight and that's what 55 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,800 we're going to do. Now, as sound as simple as that 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:24,160 sounds, I expect expectation. And so I'm going to minister the 57 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,920 word and then I mix. I don't care what symptom you 58 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,880 have. God wants to demonstrate. 59 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840 Remember Paul said this. He said I didn't come with you 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,840 with persuasive words, but with demonstrations of the Spirit. 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,120 And so the Lord wants to completely heal you tonight. 62 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,960 OK. And you know, say, well, you 63 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,120 know, lots going on. I mean, obviously anybody could 64 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,800 see that. Well, but God's the only one 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760 who's the healer at the end of the day. 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280 And God, you know, has no problem with the things you're 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360 doing in the natural to continue to keep yourself moving in the 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,120 right direction. But you know, we can administer 69 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,160 healing tonight and get it all off you once and for all. 70 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 And if that's what the Lord's directed, then I would have that 71 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,480 expectation in my coming. Are you hearing me? 72 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,720 So I want to remind you of something that's included, say 73 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,160 included. It's included a lot of times. 74 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,720 You know, in the Scripture, you know, we can get, and that's why 75 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,880 we wrote the book. The force is we can get focused 76 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520 on a tree that we lose context. And sometimes our focus is on 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,160 the wrong thing because when we focus on the right thing, then 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,720 there's what we call byproduct or it's included. 79 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,200 It's part of the package, right. So again, Jesus's death, burial, 80 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080 and resurrection has. Nothing to do with getting you 81 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,800 to heaven, although it will get you to heaven. 82 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,120 That's not the emphasis. It is included. 83 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,280 I said it's included. All right. 84 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,240 So let's look at some things to understand what's included in 85 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,600 Matthew chapter 6, verse 9 and 10. 86 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,840 It says this Our Father. Whose Father? 87 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,520 Come on, Who's Father? Is he your daddy? 88 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,920 Does he care for you? Is he a perfect father? 89 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,200 He is 'cause he's not a man, that he should lie. 90 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,960 Your heavenly Father has never lied to you, ever. 91 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,400 Say Amen. He's never lied to you. 92 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,760 Now you may have misinterpreted something you heard in your head 93 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,040 that you thought was God and it wasn't. 94 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Because God always does what he says. 95 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,240 And the only reason why what he says doesn't come to pass is if 96 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,440 you stop believing or never believe in the 1st place, you 97 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,120 can void it. You can't. 98 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,360 Even though the power's there for God to perform his word. 99 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,880 OK, so our father say our father say my daddy, That's your daddy. 100 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000 He's your father. Amen, I said. 101 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,280 He's your father. OK. 102 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,640 Who is in heaven? Hallowed be your name. 103 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,040 Your Kingdom come, Your will be on as it is. 104 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,200 How many people are sick in heaven? 105 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,720 How many are sick in heaven? Do they have a hospital up 106 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,800 there? No, there's not. 107 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,880 No one is sick in heaven. So it must be the father's will 108 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,760 in his realm that sickness should not be is not a part of 109 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,520 his realm. And if he wants that to manifest 110 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,960 here, then sickness doesn't have to be a part of your life. 111 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,360 Are you hearing me? Or let's put it this way, it 112 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,960 doesn't have to stay with you. Now when I say it can't be a 113 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,320 part of your life, I'm not saying it's not on the earth 114 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,480 because it is on the earth because sin's on the earth. 115 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,480 Because the enemy's still functioning on the planet and he 116 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040 has weapons that he forms against the church. 117 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,000 One of his weapons is sickness and disease. 118 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760 Are you hearing me? So he does that. 119 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,240 And the fact that man has fallen in there and we are susceptible 120 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,920 to certain things, symptoms can manifest, but we don't have to 121 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,440 keep them. That's my point. 122 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,120 We can say, you know what, we're going to stop right here. 123 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,800 Amen. Because I'm going to believe the 124 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,000 report of the Lord. Because there were days that we 125 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 felt great, perfect. No problem. 126 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,480 Then all of a sudden we started feeling something different. 127 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,760 Well, guess what? Then we get whole again. 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,360 Even if you did it in the natural, my point is, it's 129 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,160 temporary. So you might as well believe 130 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,720 God's word that's eternal. Quit looking at what's temporary 131 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,200 and stay with what's eternal. So he wants his Kingdom to 132 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800 manifest on the earth as it is in heaven. 133 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,920 In Matthew 417 you know this. It says from that time Jesus 134 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,560 began to preach and say repent, change your thinking, for the 135 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,600 Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Is it at hand? 136 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,840 Is it in our midst? Is it in our midst? 137 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,720 It has to be able to be in our midst, because how could God's 138 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,280 Kingdom come and his will be done on earth like it is in 139 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,600 heaven, if it couldn't be in our midst now? 140 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,640 So it's in our midst, OK? I said. 141 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,120 It's in our midst. And what did Jesus preach? 142 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,840 Repent. For the Kingdom of heaven has at 143 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,920 hand. So what did he preach? 144 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040 He preached the Kingdom. But in order for you to get the 145 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Kingdom, you got to change your thinking, right? 146 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600 So he preaches the Kingdom, but he's letting them know you're 147 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,280 not going to get this if you're going to hold on to your 148 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,200 thoughts. Because if you keep living like 149 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,520 you're thinking, which is based upon your sight and how you 150 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,880 feel, well, then you're going to have what you see and have what 151 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,680 you feel your subject. But if you'll change your 152 00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:16,880 thinking and believe my word. Then you can have what my word 153 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,320 says, and it can change what's going on here. 154 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,800 So I don't live by what I see. I live by the word of God, and 155 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,960 it changes what I see and what I feel. 156 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,200 OK, so we go on a few verses later in the same chapter, verse 157 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,040 23, look what it says. Jesus was going around going. 158 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Throughout all Galilee, What's he doing? 159 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,960 He's teaching in their synagogue and proclaiming. 160 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,560 What's he proclaiming? The gospel. 161 00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,520 But what is the gospel? It's the gospel of the Kingdom, 162 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,880 'cause that's what he preaches. He's preaching about this 163 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:07,200 government that he is the king of and all of his benefits 164 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120 associated with it. OK, he's proclaiming the gospel 165 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,320 of the Kingdom. Now look what's taking place. 166 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,960 Because he's talking about the Kingdom and healing. 167 00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,040 How many kinds of disease? How many kinds? 168 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,640 How many kinds? How many kinds except cancer. 169 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,800 Except lymphoma. Except tuberculosis. 170 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:42,800 Except type 2 diabetes. Except bipolar depression. 171 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,120 Except is that in there? Now I love this verse 'cause 172 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,360 it's every kind of disease. This is what I call the 173 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,080 algebraic equation. The guy was like, I don't care 174 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:04,160 what man's going to name anything, I heal every kind at 175 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:13,840 every stage. Every kind at every stage, every 176 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:20,360 kind at every stage, I said. Every kind at every stage and 177 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,080 healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness 178 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,720 because you understand some symptoms are not something that 179 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,360 technically can take us out physically. 180 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,280 It's not the it's not really taking us out physically anyway. 181 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,560 And here's the thing about sickness is that a lot of times 182 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:44,440 we'll put up with sickness 'cause we ourselves know it's 183 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,280 temporary. Well, this ain't going to kill 184 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,120 me. I'm sniffling a little bit. 185 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,640 This ain't going to kill me and we don't even bother God yet. 186 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,480 That's in his every category. I said that's in his every 187 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,920 category. And every kind of sickness among 188 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,720 the people. Look at Matthew Chapter 9, verse 189 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,880 35. Matthew chapter 935 says Jesus 190 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,320 was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in the 191 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,080 synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom. 192 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,760 And what was he doing? Just in case you didn't get it 193 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,480 in the 4th chapter, we getting it in the 9th chapter. 194 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,400 Every kind of disease and every kind of sickness. 195 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,560 I said every. Every kind. 196 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,040 Now the last thing you want to conclude is that there's no 197 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,880 other option but just to believe God only. 198 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,760 You are to believe God only and do what his word says. 199 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:48,360 Because some diseases and sicknesses you can't actually 200 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240 stand in faith for 'cause you don't have enough information. 201 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,000 My people perish due to what? So the scripture is not saying 202 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,400 don't ever go to a doctor. Now how do we know? 203 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,760 God has no problem with a doctor because he was going to a a guy, 204 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,000 a religious guy's house, to heal his daughter. 205 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,760 One day he had come to him and said, my daughter, she's about 206 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,360 to die, she's at the point of death. 207 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,840 Will you come lay hands on her and heal her? 208 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,200 He says. OK, I'm go to the house. 209 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,400 So he's moving. Towards the house, right. 210 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,240 But it's a big crowd and it's taking some time to get there. 211 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,680 It just so happens that another woman. 212 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,880 Who's. Quite a bit older is, you know, 213 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,640 in the vicinity and here's Jesus is walking through the streets 214 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:37,360 now she's got a problem. She's had a sickness or disease 215 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,480 for 12 years. She is bleeding. 216 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,320 And so as a result of that, she's gone to the doctors. 217 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,000 The Bible tells us this historical count of her, you 218 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000 know, diagnosis, and they have treated her with everything 219 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,520 known to medical science at the time. 220 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,480 She has not gotten better, she's only gotten worse. 221 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,040 So she's all of her money has gone into her trying to get her 222 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,160 healing. Well. 223 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,200 When she hears Jesus is here, she's obviously heard that he's 224 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,920 been able to heal because she concludes if I just touched a 225 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,280 man's helm. So she's heard something about 226 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,720 his touch. So she's like, well, if I can 227 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,360 just touch him now, she's already concluded. 228 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,200 I'm so weak. I'm probably not going to walk 229 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,080 up to the guy by the time I get through the crowd. 230 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,920 If I get through the crowd, although that's she's like, I'm 231 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,360 going to get through the crowd because I'm going to get mine is 232 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,800 I'm going to, I'll be at the place that I'm going to be on 233 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,680 the ground and I'm just going to be able to reach out and touch 234 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,880 the man. It's him of which she did. 235 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,200 OK, it says when she touches his hem, immediately say 236 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,600 immediately, immediately she's healed and she knows it. 237 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,640 But at the same time, immediately God knows power 238 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,000 leaves him and he's like, who touched me, y'all remember this? 239 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120 And he says who touched me? And Peter's like, seriously, 240 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,520 Jesus, all these people, I mean you got so many people touching 241 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:05,600 you right now, how can you say that? 242 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,960 He said no, no, no, no. Power. 243 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,960 Has left me. When the woman realized that she 244 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760 has not escaped notice, she testifies. 245 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,480 So guess what? She tells him. 246 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,560 This is what I had for 12 years. I've gone to the doctor. 247 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,040 You know what he doesn't say to her? 248 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Why'd you waste all your money on doctors? 249 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,320 He never said that to her. He didn't rebuke her for going 250 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,680 to the doctor. So if a believer ever rebukes 251 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,240 you for going to the doctor, that's not God, 'cause God 252 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:46,240 didn't do that. The healer himself didn't do 253 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,360 that. In fact, the healer himself, 254 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,600 when he healed the lepers, 'cause they then came to him and 255 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,080 says, Lord, if you're willing, he said, you know I am and he 256 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,160 heals as they go, he said. Now go show yourself to the 257 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:05,080 priest that was which, and by all rights that was a physician. 258 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,960 According to the law to determine that leprosy was no 259 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,960 longer on the IT wasn't a medical doctor like we think 260 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,960 today. The priest's responsibility was 261 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,480 to determine whether leprosy was cured or not on a human being. 262 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,360 So when he says go show yourself to the priest, Jesus is saying 263 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:34,240 go back to the doctor to get your clean bill of health. 264 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,880 So again, when people's like, oh, the Lord's healed me, I'm 265 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,000 not going back to the doctor. Why? 266 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,280 Jesus made the lepers go to the doctor to get their clean bill 267 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,360 of health. And if you're healed, why are 268 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,080 you afraid to go to the doctor anyway? 269 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200 Surely he's going to conclude the same thing you're believing, 270 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,600 and then we get to testify in front of them and the nursing 271 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,120 staff and anyone else that God healed. 272 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:06,319 Me say Hallelujah. So when we read those 273 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:10,960 scriptures, what this tells us is that the Lord may have 274 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:15,880 methods by which He needs you to understand how He is. 275 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,480 Now when I say that I'm not saying that God's answer is 276 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,560 medical. I'm not concluding that, but 277 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,720 some for some medical helps because it has not manifested 278 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,560 just in the Spirit. In your body. 279 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,040 And until then, you need to do whatever you need to do to keep 280 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,120 your process moving. Now you don't do anything to 281 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,040 violate what the Holy Spirit's telling you to do. 282 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,760 I'm not telling you just, 'cause you go to a doctor and they say, 283 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,440 hey, we're going to do this. And the Holy Ghost says don't do 284 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,680 that treatment, then you shouldn't do that treatment 285 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,920 because God knows your body better than they do. 286 00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:01,400 They're practicing, and He knows you. 287 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,520 He created you. But if he says you can go ahead 288 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,280 and do this, well guess what? Then you need to do it, because 289 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,000 now you're following the will of the Father. 290 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,280 But my point is, is when the kingdom's preached, guess what 291 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,640 is included healing. Healing is included. 292 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,720 When Jesus has gone around all these areas, he's gone to 293 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,000 Galilee. It says he goes to cities and 294 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,840 villages, Matthew 9 tells us. All these locations that he's 295 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,440 going to, and he's just preaching on the Kingdom. 296 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,640 Guess what's included with that message? 297 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:48,480 Healing, healing, healing, healing, healing, healing. 298 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,680 Every kind. Every kind. 299 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,560 Every kind at every stage. Every kind at every stage. 300 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,080 And you know what the worst stage is? 301 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,680 In case you want to know is when it kills you. 302 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,720 That's the worst stage. But it's still not out of God's 303 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,320 reach because he can raise resurrect even the dead and get 304 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,120 off you. What killed you so that you live 305 00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:20,120 and not die? Now that doesn't mean live and 306 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:24,680 not die naturally, because we're all going to die. 307 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,400 The Bible says it was appointed. For all men to die once. 308 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,360 Now the cool thing is apparently for us, 'cause I'm trying to 309 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,880 include myself into into this generation of the ones who will 310 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,520 put on immorality. That'd be so fast of a death. 311 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,000 Now it is death, because death just means separation. 312 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,200 I'll separate from my mortal and put on immortality, and that'd 313 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,000 be in the moment. In the twinkling of an eye, it'd 314 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,080 be the fastest death resurrection you've ever seen in 315 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,720 your life. Hallelujah. 316 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,000 I have to assume it doesn't hurt. 317 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,200 Dude, we just died and we're alive again. 318 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,640 Wow. I mean, I couldn't even think of 319 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,960 fast enough. It was so quick. 320 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,960 All right. Anyway, so here's the thing. 321 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Jesus healed primarily 4 ways when Jesus did heal. 322 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,120 He healed by touch. He'd lay hands. 323 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:35,640 And they'd be healed. He touched the leopard, he 324 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,440 touched blind eyes, and they were healed. 325 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,320 Another way he healed was through the gifts of the Spirit. 326 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,320 Now there are healings that function through the gifts of 327 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,680 the Spirit. And this is the problem with 328 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,760 Christianity. You know again with us 329 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,720 fantasizing about God instead of seeing God for who he is. 330 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,640 The way that we hear God heals everything. 331 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:05,200 Then we conclude that one method does it all. 332 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200 And that's not true 'cause if one method did it all, then God 333 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:14,640 would have only done one method. But God did not do one method. 334 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:19,040 God did some based upon the gifts of the Spirit. 335 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:23,400 There are 9 gifts, of which one of the gifts is the gifts of 336 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,160 healing. If the laying on of hands of 337 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,560 which we can do lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. 338 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:38,120 There are conditions by which man can be healed that way, and 339 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:42,360 it doesn't have to be any other way, but there are conditions 340 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,920 that it requires the Holy Ghost to move. 341 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,200 For that to happen, which means the laying on of hands will not 342 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,640 get the results, because the gifts of the Spirit are not as 343 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:02,440 man wills, but as the spirit wills and he moves upon man. 344 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,200 And we know Jesus operated like a man. 345 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,800 He was all God, but he functioned as a man full of the 346 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,080 Holy Ghost. So when we get to the pool of 347 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:16,400 Bethesda, that is the gifts of the Spirit in operation. 348 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,160 Because here's a guy laying at the pool, paralyzed. 349 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,240 Can't get in, which means we got muscle. 350 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,200 What's that called? Thank you. 351 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,520 You know, the stuff's not working at all. 352 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,280 And guess what? In this? 353 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,120 Now that doesn't have to happen in every case, because the gifts 354 00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:38,960 didn't function like that. When the guys ripped the roof 355 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,280 off and the other paralyzed came down because the gifts weren't 356 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,840 functioning, their faith was functioning. 357 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,040 And he healed that guy at his word. 358 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:54,000 He didn't even touch him. He said, pick up your mat and 359 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,120 walk. And what did he say? 360 00:22:56,120 --> 00:23:02,440 Seeing their faith. So their faith prompted his 361 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,480 declaration. And when Jesus said get up and 362 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,960 walk, the only thing that stops you from walking is you're 363 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,320 yielding to that word. Because if the guy would have 364 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,880 said I can, I'm paralyzed, he would have nullified the power 365 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,560 of that word. But did he do that? 366 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:30,360 No, because he was in faith. And when Jesus said get up, take 367 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,560 up your mat and walk, he acted on that word and he was 368 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,760 strengthened in his legs and his muscles and his bones and 369 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,320 feeling came back and he picked up Walt, that thing right out 370 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,760 the house. Yet enough strength to be able 371 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,440 to pick the thing up. He was on, right? 372 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,160 But at the pool of Bethesda, there were a lot of sick people, 373 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:55,480 not just this one guy. And yet the Holy Ghost picked 374 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,000 the guy out. Now again, you can say, why did 375 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,120 God do that? I can't answer that question. 376 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,160 I can't answer. You can ask him one day. 377 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,560 All I know is he knows what's going on in everybody's life. 378 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,240 He knows what's taken and occurring. 379 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,360 For whatever reason the Holy Ghost that day wanted that guy 380 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,520 who had been that way for like 38 years and through the gifts 381 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,200 because he says what do you want? 382 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680 The guy's like man, I can't get to the water. 383 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,000 He don't even know Jesus. No faith. 384 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:35,320 He has no faith in Jesus at all. But because of the gifts, Jesus 385 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,840 was able to function in a way. That and the Holy Ghost got 386 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,200 involved. And outside of that man's faith 387 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,240 he got healed. So you can do it by touch. 388 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,600 You can do it through the gifts of the Spirit. 389 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,400 You can do it at his word. But then you can also be healed 390 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,880 by their faith. Jesus healed people by their 391 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,880 faith. The woman again with the issue 392 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,320 of blood that was flowing touched his him. 393 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,880 She kept saying if I just touches him, I'll be healed. 394 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Power left him. He wasn't even aware she was 395 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,800 near. He wasn't even conscious of her 396 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:15,280 faith. He didn't know she existed. 397 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:19,000 You said God. Jesus didn't know she, Jesus was 398 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,160 in a earth suit. If he's not getting the 399 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,760 instruction from the Holy Ghost, he don't know. 400 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:35,240 He did not know she was coming. He was not informed that she was 401 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:41,200 coming. He had no our king had no idea 402 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:49,160 that this woman was about to touch him, but when she did, he 403 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,400 knew power left and he didn't know who done it. 404 00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:56,360 Our Jesus didn't know who did it. 405 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,280 This shows his humanity and his dependency on the Holy Spirit. 406 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,480 And that he himself had limitations in the context that 407 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,840 he was dependent upon being led by the Spirit. 408 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,920 And he's like, well, somebody touched me, powers left me. 409 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,080 In essence, you're not going to come get some without 410 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,920 testifying, right? And here's the thing. 411 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,040 A lot of times people want to get from God and don't want 412 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:33,400 nobody to know about it. And God wouldn't let that 413 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,560 happen, 'cause like, you going to testify, somebody's going to 414 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,760 testify. I'm not even moving now. 415 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,080 I mean, Jesus stops, so I'm not even moving. 416 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:49,440 And you understand the religious leaders, like my daughter's 417 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,440 about to die. Can we get to the house? 418 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,640 He's like, I can't go nowhere. I mean, somebody's touched me. 419 00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:01,000 I I mean, who did this, right? And so she tells him so And he 420 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000 says, he says, daughter, your faith has healed you. 421 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,720 Amen. Now tonight, three of these for 422 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,080 sure are going to be in operation. 423 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,360 I can't guarantee the 4th one, which is the gifts of the 424 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:18,640 Spirit, but I can't guarantee the three that is at a word, 425 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,640 we're declaring that it's included with the Kingdom. 426 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,000 So at a word you're healed. You can bring your faith when 427 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,240 you come. And then we'll lay hands on you. 428 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,520 And through touch, you can receive your total manifestation 429 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,600 of healing. Amen. 430 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,960 And you know what I've realized? Because again, I've gone back 431 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,080 into all my sermons back to 2005. 432 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,120 And when I type in healing, I don't have a whole lot. 433 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,400 I don't minister on the subject of healing a whole lot here. 434 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,840 Now that doesn't mean we shouldn't. 435 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,480 Because again, faith comes by hearing, but the reality is, is 436 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:04,840 we've been a extremely healthy church that we've had a included 437 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,800 process because we've been seeking first the Kingdom for so 438 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,160 long. The byproduct is that we've been 439 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280 functioning in some really good health. 440 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,360 It's kind of what happens because the word does good like 441 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:21,840 a. Medicine. 442 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,760 So in essence, because we've been diligent every year to go 443 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,120 for the Bible cover, to cover what I've been giving you is the 444 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:35,720 vitamins and nutrition necessary for your body. 445 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:38,720 I'm not talking about just your spirit and your soul. 446 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,880 I'm talking about your body. We've been giving you a. 447 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,800 Diet that actually helps feed you physically. 448 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,880 It quickens your mortal body. And because of that, it's been 449 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,200 by products, so to speak. Now that doesn't mean there's 450 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,240 times that we don't need to focus on it and that we don't 451 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,280 need to bring it back up. Obviously in this moment some 452 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,960 things are kind of going around and we're just going to go ahead 453 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,200 and remind ourselves so that we can walk on into something 454 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:14,080 because what we do tonight who's not here and you see them on 455 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:18,400 Sunday and you hear them with a symptom. 456 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,560 They may be coughing, blowing their nose or something else. 457 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,440 Don't wait for them to come into service. 458 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,920 What you're going to do is you're going to say, you know 459 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,880 what Pastor prayed, did this on Wednesday night? 460 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,280 Laid hands on us. We received our heel. 461 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,280 I'm going to lay hands on you. Going to get rid of this today. 462 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,680 You're going to do it in the lobby. 463 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,920 You're going to do it in the parking lot. 464 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,880 You're going to do it with a chill. 465 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,200 I don't care where you're at. Because again, healing is not 466 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,440 just for this time is for the believer. 467 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:55,000 To do so you need to do. Which is another reason why we 468 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000 don't preach on healing a whole lot here is because we do know 469 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,160 how to pray for one another. And let me just say this. 470 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,520 Don't get spiritually prideful to get your healing on your own. 471 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Now believe God on your own. But when I came in a week ago 472 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,920 and I, you know, sounded deeper than Barry White. 473 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120 You know, but again, what we're just pushing on. 474 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,440 We going to preach anyway, right? 475 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,320 And we're all gargly and sounded. 476 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:30,840 But you know what? I had three people lay hands on 477 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,040 me before I ever got to the platform. 478 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,840 They heard me pass her. I said, yeah, I said, well, I 479 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,200 got some symptoms, you know. Well, you're the heal the Lord. 480 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,160 Yes, I am. And then they and then they pray 481 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,760 for me. I didn't say don't touch me, 482 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,600 man. I got my healing. 483 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,600 I didn't do that. I'm like, bring it on. 484 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,520 Give me another witness. Give me somebody else in 485 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,640 agreement. Because you don't feel what I 486 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,520 feel, and at the end of the day, you're confident that you can 487 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,080 lay hands on me. According to scripture, I'll 488 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,800 receive the dose from you. I'll take another dose. 489 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,880 I'll get another infusion of faith, of healing in my body. 490 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,760 I'll do it. Pastor Mark, text me on Sunday 491 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,360 and said how you doing? I said good. 492 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,120 I said, yeah man, I'm like 9098 percent, 95%, you know, I'm, 493 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,480 I'm, I'm rocking. He said, well I sound like you 494 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:38,400 like you did Wednesday. I said, uh, I said wow, that's 495 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:43,520 not good. He said yeah, I said, well he 496 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,440 said pray for my voice. So I prayed right there as the 497 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,480 text. I said in the name of Jesus, 498 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,480 your voice is going to get stronger. 499 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,640 Well, later on that afternoon I said, how does service go? 500 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800 He said. My voice got stronger. 501 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,440 Amen. What I loved about that is he 502 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,840 didn't act like I get on my own, though he can't get it on his 503 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,160 own. He knows healing, He knows the 504 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640 scripture, He knows where to go. But again, it's about this 505 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,120 connection. It's about community. 506 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,320 It's about believers coming together in unity. 507 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,680 Amen. You know, because sometimes we 508 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,560 get into these situations about healing and they're like, well, 509 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,200 I already got mine. I'm not going to go. 510 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,880 I I don't need nobody to lay hands on mine. 511 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,720 I already believed I received well. 512 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,320 Did you receive breakfast this morning? 513 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,640 Did you eat lunch? I bet you ate dinner. 514 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,920 So you don't quit receiving because you ate once. 515 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,880 I mean, it's not a lack of faith for you to come up and say give 516 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,040 me another dose. Now it's different. 517 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680 If you're like, I didn't get it, now that's a whole another ball 518 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,280 game. Because if you don't think you 519 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,960 got it and you don't think the laying on the hands is going to 520 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,480 get it to you, then you're not going to get it anyway because 521 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,400 your doubts, what's keeping your symptoms from changing? 522 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,800 Are you hearing me? So you might as well come get 523 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,880 more, because here's the thing I've concluded. 524 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,760 If it's not off. Then I'm doing everything to 525 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,480 continue to apply, 'cause it ain't over till it's over. 526 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:30,440 So why get complacent? And too often we do this with 527 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,080 the sickness. Well, it'd be a couple days to 528 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,040 be all right. I mean, we sound like Pharaoh. 529 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,400 Think about that. Moses says he's like Moses. 530 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,760 Get rid of these frogs, he said. OK, just tell me when you want 531 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:43,680 it. Tomorrow. 532 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,920 He said that tomorrow, not like now, right? 533 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,560 And we're like, well, we'll be better tomorrow. 534 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,160 Amen. I mean, when I had this, when we 535 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,080 came back from the trip, you know, 'cause I didn't sleep 536 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,200 super great on the flight back over. 537 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,000 And so the very next day I took something, my wife's like you, 538 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,120 Guinea, take something to help you go to sleep, and that says 539 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,280 knock you out. So you're not staying awake 540 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,040 'cause you're coughing. And so she gave me some of that, 541 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,199 like Alka Seltzer nighttime stuff, right? 542 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,199 It knocked me out, bro. I was out for like 24 hours. 543 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,400 My wife says I was out for 12. I got up while she was asleep, 544 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,800 got some water, and then I went back to bed, saw her the next 545 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,600 morning. So it was 212 hour. 546 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,679 Shifts is what it was. Anyway, she did. 547 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:42,920 And I called her back in the in the room and I said lay hands on 548 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:48,480 me and pray over me. I mean, don't just assume I got 549 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,239 something now, she wouldn't assume, but that's where I'm at. 550 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,480 Like, I'm not just here to assume that just 'cause I'm a 551 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:58,120 man of God and believe God and a child of God, that my wife get 552 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,440 in agreement, get up in here, put your hands on me, touch me 553 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,480 and pray over me, 'cause I want somebody anointed on your life 554 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,720 in this situation so that I can come up out of this quicker. 555 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,720 Are you hearing me? OK, so then, did it? 556 00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:19,840 Does it stay with Jesus? Obviously not. 557 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,480 Matthew. Chapter 10, verse seven and 558 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,320 eight. It says this. 559 00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:27,360 And as you go, say me go. As you go, say me go. 560 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,320 That's not amigo, That's you. Go. 561 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,280 All right, as you go, preach, saying the Kingdom of heaven is 562 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,480 at hand, guess what's included? Heal the sick. 563 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:45,320 Now he gets a little deeper here because Jesus, when he's 564 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,040 preaching, we know he's healing every kind of disease and every 565 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,520 kind of sickness. But we understand it goes beyond 566 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,920 that because there's more included with the Kingdom than 567 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,760 that. And Jesus goes ahead and lets 568 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,800 his lets his disciples have this kind of access. 569 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:04,120 He said go ahead and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse 570 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,080 the lepers. That means cure the incurable 571 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:12,800 disease, cast out demons, get rid of the source. 572 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,920 Right. Get rid of the source. 573 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,960 Because again, sometimes we can lay hands on people. 574 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:25,160 Now I'm talking more common, you know, workplace than it should 575 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,520 be in here. Obviously it can happen in here. 576 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,920 I mean, someone could come in and this could happen, you know, 577 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,560 because again, Jesus dealt with one woman that was bent over and 578 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,840 he rebuked a spirit of infirmity. 579 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,320 Sometimes if you pray for healing and they start symptoms 580 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,440 aside, but then it comes back and it seems like there's this 581 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,840 long period, you might want to take in consideration that a 582 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,760 spirit of infirmity keeps trying to show up with a little 583 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,440 symptom. So you might want to go a little 584 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,800 deeper and say I rebuke you spirit of infirmity. 585 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:59,360 Don't come to me no more with your symptom because there are 586 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,000 spirits out there that carry symptoms. 587 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,040 And you can get a reprieve, but you haven't gotten rid of the 588 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,920 source. So if you're a person that's 589 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:16,320 always having a nagging at something, it's like you can't 590 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,920 ever get past. You go from one thing to the 591 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,600 next thing to the next thing to the next thing. 592 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,280 We going to talk about this more next year? 593 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,520 In 2024 you might want to stop and say I bond the spirit of 594 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:35,200 infirmity. Because I should not have all 595 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,520 these conditions keep showing up in my life over this type of 596 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,320 period. Amen. 597 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,840 Because again, the devil again, if he's trying to kill you, he 598 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,640 can't do it abruptly, that's true. 599 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,360 But majority of time he's like spoon feeding you stuff. 600 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,920 You know, it's like the people who's killed their spouses 601 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,640 because they gave them a little bit of something in their 602 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,360 coffee. It was hard to trace. 603 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,520 Well, you laugh, but I mean, that's how the devil does. 604 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,640 He puts a little bit in your head, puts a little bit in your 605 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,760 head, puts a little bit in your head, puts a little bit in your 606 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,280 head, and you eventually find yourself and then he can feed 607 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,760 more in your head because now you've developed a tolerance to 608 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,600 that one, right? OK, Well, same thing can happen 609 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,440 with the spirit of infirmity. And give you a little symptom 610 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,720 here that comes off, gives you different symptom here he ain't 611 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:27,200 left. He likes sitting in the room. 612 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:36,080 All right, so again, it's included with the Kingdom, even 613 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:41,760 if Jesus himself isn't doing it. Because he says as you go and 614 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,040 you minister the Kingdom, you talk about the Kingdom. 615 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,240 You represent the Kingdom well. He'll the sick raise the dead, 616 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,360 cleanse the lepers, cast out demons freely you receive what? 617 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,320 Freely what? Freely what? 618 00:38:54,920 --> 00:39:01,360 Luke 10, nine says this and heal those in it who are sick and say 619 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,120 to them now this is when he's talking about going into cities. 620 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,200 He said, I want you to go into cities, right? 621 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,000 And you're going to go into these people. 622 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,160 And now if there happens to be anybody at the house you're 623 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,480 staying at that's sick, you're going to heal them and then say 624 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,640 this, tell them why they're being healed. 625 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,000 The Kingdom of God has come near. 626 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,680 It's included with the Kingdom. I said it's included with the 627 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,040 Kingdom. Now I the best example I can 628 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,760 give to you is modern day right now because at this point 629 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:36,760 there's a whole humanitarian aid showing up in Gaza and what are 630 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,680 they doing? They're showing up representing 631 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:47,440 the United nation or a nation and saying we're it's included 632 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:55,040 with us coming so. Because we're Kingdom citizens, 633 00:39:55,040 --> 00:40:01,680 guess what's included with us? Healing. 634 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,560 Healing is included with us now. It's not. 635 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,800 We're not the doctors. We are really the the, the, the 636 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,760 RNS. We come, we get to come in, do 637 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,000 all the diagnosis, and you know, they do all anyway. 638 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,840 And then the doctor comes in and signs the name. 639 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,240 He authorizes it. So that's when we the RN, we get 640 00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:28,040 to take all the vitals, say in the name of Jesus and he 641 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,720 authorizes it. They heal. 642 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,000 Amen. I'll be an RN for the Lord 643 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,880 because he's authorizing it. He's the one who paid the price 644 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,040 for it. Luke Chapter 9, verse two. 645 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,520 Then we'll jump down to 11 and it says this. 646 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,360 And he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to what? 647 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,320 It's included. Are we a Kingdom? 648 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,920 Church? Do we believe in the Kingdom? 649 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,960 So then the healthcare system of the Kingdom, and let me just say 650 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:06,480 it is healthcare because if he's curing you then you're not in 651 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,880 health. In order for curing to take 652 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,880 place, you can't have health cure cause health is health. 653 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,600 You're sick. That's why it's health care is 654 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:30,440 to continue to care for your health so that you can stay 655 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,000 healthy. Unfortunately, our healthcare 656 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,880 system is a broken system and it does not. 657 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,200 It doesn't help your health. It actually gives you more 658 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,080 symptoms cuz just check your prescriptions. 659 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,920 We're going to, I'll, I'll eliminate this symptom only to 660 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,880 give you these symptoms. But that's all right. 661 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,240 We got a pill for that. And now you're compete. 662 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:06,160 You are a repeat customer. It's called capitalism in the 663 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,760 medical system. That's why our cars don't last 664 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,920 as long as they do. Our phones don't last as long. 665 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:20,560 It's it our refrigerator. I mean, I ain't going to lie. 666 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,280 I spent some money on my refrigerator a year ago 667 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:26,080 thinking, you know, the Lord's blessed me. 668 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,280 I don't have to go cheaper. I'm going to get something 669 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,160 that's going to last. Ha, what a lie. 670 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,960 Yeah, I mean, got to. I mean, I'm paying for a 671 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,000 warranty. That why if you just make it 672 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:44,600 right, I don't have this problem. 673 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,560 Right. This is why some of y'all went 674 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,960 and bought those ones that are 20 year old washing machines 675 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:58,680 because they're still running. I'm not talking about these, but 676 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,840 it's not fashionable right? Man, forget fashion for I just 677 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,120 wash my clothes just keep my I mean we bought in a we bought an 678 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,560 apartment size refrigerator and I got in the garage because I 679 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,560 don't have one. My big fancy one is. 680 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,480 DO dead on arrival. You know, it's. 681 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,160 I can't get it to resuscitate. I mean, it only lives for three 682 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:24,240 days and then it dies every day. So, you know, praise the Lord 683 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,680 the Lord's vindicating us for us all over with. 684 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,360 And then at that point, once I get it fixed, I may just get rid 685 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:40,880 of it anyway and find an old one that actually runs. 686 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,480 And I'll paint it and make it look new. 687 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,920 I'm done with the stainless steel. 688 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:55,000 I'm bringing a new style back, painted, whatever. 689 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,000 No, I'll get the media team to do a wrap for me. 690 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,760 I'll just wrap it and I'll say this is a Kingdom. 691 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:08,560 House or something, OK. So the Kingdom of God and and to 692 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,560 perform healings. It's included verse 11. 693 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:18,240 But the crowds were aware of this and followed him, welcoming 694 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:19,880 them. He began speaking to them about 695 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:28,400 what Kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing. 696 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,160 It just is included, guys. I said it's included. 697 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,680 Now Jesus has died and raised from the dead just so you know 698 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,280 that it's still functioning though he's seated in heaven. 699 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,720 In Acts chapter one, we know Jesus is alive and he tells them 700 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:47,040 to tarry until the Holy Ghost comes. 701 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,480 They'll be in do with power from all high and then they can be a 702 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,600 witness for him and they watch him go. 703 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,520 In chapter 2, the Holy Ghost falls and they receive the power 704 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,520 of the Holy Spirit. And he preaches and people get 705 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,280 born again. It's pretty amazing time. 706 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,160 But Jesus is not on the planet anymore. 707 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:13,000 In chapter 3 they're going to pray and the guy's begging who 708 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:19,760 is sick and Peter through the gifts fixes his eyes on him and 709 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,600 snatches the man up out the off the ground who's paralyzed and 710 00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:30,160 through the gifts heals the guy. Then the name of Jesus Raise up 711 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,800 and walk and he snatches him. If you study it from the 712 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,160 original Greek, he pulls him when he makes that statement. 713 00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:40,400 And the guy's healed. Verse chapter 4. 714 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,200 He's on trial. Here it is, verse 9. 715 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:43,760 We'll pick it up. Chapter 4, verse 9. 716 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,120 So Jesus not on the planet in the flesh. 717 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,960 And he says, if we are on trial today for the benefit done to a 718 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,760 sick man as to how this man has been made, well, let it be known 719 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,440 to all of you. And to all the people of Israel, 720 00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:03,320 that by the name I said, by the name of Jesus Christ the 721 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:07,720 Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead by 722 00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:16,960 this name, this man stands here before you, in, in, in, in good 723 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,840 health. So Jesus does not have to be 724 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,080 personally present on the planet for you to be healed. 725 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,960 We just have to use the name. I said just have to use the 726 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,480 name. Just have to use the name. 727 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,120 Why are we authorized? Because of the payment. 728 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,560 First Peter chapter 2, verse four says for he bore our sins 729 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,360 in his body on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to 730 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,200 righteousness. For by His wounds you were 731 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,880 healed. His physical wounds did not 732 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:50,200 bring you spiritual salvation. His blood paid the price for 733 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,920 your wrongdoing, but the physical wounds is what opened 734 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,520 the door for your physical body to be able to have manifestation 735 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,400 of this alive person in Christ and the Holy Ghost living on the 736 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,640 inside of you. For you to be in the covenant of 737 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,840 a person who can have a healthy body as long as you continue to 738 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,720 do the purpose, God is a sign for you in the planet to bear 739 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:20,480 fruit for Him. You have a legal right as a 740 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,160 citizen of the Kingdom of God to walk in health and healing. 741 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,640 Amen. Because he's paid the price, he 742 00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:35,160 bore it, Isaiah 53 five says. For he was pierced through for 743 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,000 our transgression, he was crushed for our iniquities, The 744 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,800 chastisement of our well-being fell upon him, and by his 745 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,680 scourging we are healed. Obviously Peter says you were 746 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,200 healed. Isaiah spoke before it took 747 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,600 place, right? Peter speaks after it's taken 748 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,200 place. So this is already settled. 749 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,440 Jesus does not go to the cross again for somebody getting born 750 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,560 again, nor is he taking the stripes on his back anymore. 751 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,360 For someone who needs to be healed, it is by faith. 752 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,000 I said It is by faith that you receive three ways. 753 00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,520 By faith, if the gifts need to be in play, then the gifts will 754 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,800 get in play and the gifts will do what the gifts can do. 755 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,800 And your faith doesn't have to be included. 756 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:30,160 It will require your faith to keep because what the gifts give 757 00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:37,160 don't mean you get for eternity you yourself again. 758 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,960 Jesus healed a guy who he said pick up your mat and go 759 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,720 somewhere. I don't know if it was the same 760 00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:44,760 guy. So y'all can help me because he 761 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:45,840 obviously healed a lot of people. 762 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,600 But remember he walked around the Pharisees were like, why are 763 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,600 you walking with your mat bro? Because he healed him all the 764 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,360 Sabbath, right? And he's like, well, God told me 765 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,560 who was he? I have no idea, don't even know 766 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,680 his name. OK, so he finds him again, 767 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:06,040 right? And he says to him, go and sin 768 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,240 no more. So nothing worse will come on 769 00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:13,320 you. So the gifts are not a 770 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:18,880 guarantee. You keep the healing you 771 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:24,800 received. You still have the 772 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,080 responsibility to know your rights and to continue in Bill 773 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,480 and make a demand on that what God did for you, independent of 774 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,920 you, you're not going to lose now. 775 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,080 And the devil has no right to 'cause there's many believers 776 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:48,440 that have had a have received healing only for symptoms to 777 00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,800 come back at another time and then conclude, well, I guess God 778 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,360 didn't want me to have it after all. 779 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:58,800 That's a lie. God doesn't tease us. 780 00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,200 He doesn't do that. He's not malicious like that. 781 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,280 Going to heal you supernaturally of something that only the gifts 782 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,560 could do, and then put it back on you. 783 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,960 He does not do that. That is not the character of 784 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,840 God, but the devil. He sure wants to put it on you, 785 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,600 so don't give him an opportunity. 786 00:50:25,240 --> 00:50:28,520 Are you ready to be healed? I said, you ready to be healed? 787 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,320 Are you ready to receive it? Because you are healed as far as 788 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,200 eternity is concerned. As far as Jesus concerned, your 789 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:45,720 body is already whole. Thank you so much for listening 790 00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:48,160 to this message.
