Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. Well, as I was praying today,
you know, obviously there's so many directions you can go when
you've been ministering the word of God for, you know, 3 decades
now and. You know, sometimes it's just
good to say what do you want to do.
I mean, I when I say that, I'm always saying that.
But sometimes you get a heading and you're already moving.
Sometimes you have no heading and you're just like, where are
we going? And you know, so it is my
custom, you know, to pray and then also just read the word.
I like to read the word before I get into study, just because I
like to feed myself. And I'm not looking for a
message when I'm reading, but it doesn't mean they don't
sometimes show up. Today, though, the Lord was
pretty specific with me, you know, because I was kind of
getting some unction that, you know, I don't really need to
study. I just need to go pray because,
you know, God's going to do something.
And now that doesn't mean I'm not praying.
It's just that sometimes you put yourself a little bit more in
prayer because. His direction is coming out of
prayer more so than it's coming out of just reading the word in
it. All of a sudden something comes
to light. But I got an impression of my
spirit because, you know, it's obvious when the need is around,
God wants to meet that need. So you know, unfortunately, as
believers, we like to keep God in the spooky category.
Now what do I mean by that? You know the mystery side.
We don't want nobody to know about nothing that's going on.
And then all of a sudden, God uses somebody to tell you
everything going on in your life.
And you're like, nobody could have known that but God.
And we like, elevate that to, like, the highest level, OK.
Those times come. God does use those times again
to gain our attention or to communicate to you that he is
very much aware of what's going on in your life as far as even
to the point of how much hair is on your head.
OK. But you understand, God doesn't
doesn't have to keep himself in that position, nor do we need to
keep him in that position to receive.
Because sometimes Jesus is asking what do you want?
He wants to know naturally before he does something.
That means you're telling me, OK, I now I'm going to meet what
you told me. Because again, we put God in
these boxes where, you know, if God's going to do something for
me, then it's got to be kind of out of nowhere.
Nobody knows. It's super mysterious as opposed
to. Here's what's going on and God's
like, fine, I'll meet. That are you.
Hearing what I'm saying, so the Lord obviously put an impression
in my spirit, he said. Lot of symptoms going around, so
I just want you to lay hands on the sick tonight and that's what
we're going to do. Now, as sound as simple as that
sounds, I expect expectation. And so I'm going to minister the
word and then I mix. I don't care what symptom you
have. God wants to demonstrate.
Remember Paul said this. He said I didn't come with you
with persuasive words, but with demonstrations of the Spirit.
And so the Lord wants to completely heal you tonight.
OK. And you know, say, well, you
know, lots going on. I mean, obviously anybody could
see that. Well, but God's the only one
who's the healer at the end of the day.
And God, you know, has no problem with the things you're
doing in the natural to continue to keep yourself moving in the
right direction. But you know, we can administer
healing tonight and get it all off you once and for all.
And if that's what the Lord's directed, then I would have that
expectation in my coming. Are you hearing me?
So I want to remind you of something that's included, say
included. It's included a lot of times.
You know, in the Scripture, you know, we can get, and that's why
we wrote the book. The force is we can get focused
on a tree that we lose context. And sometimes our focus is on
the wrong thing because when we focus on the right thing, then
there's what we call byproduct or it's included.
It's part of the package, right. So again, Jesus's death, burial,
and resurrection has. Nothing to do with getting you
to heaven, although it will get you to heaven.
That's not the emphasis. It is included.
I said it's included. All right.
So let's look at some things to understand what's included in
Matthew chapter 6, verse 9 and 10.
It says this Our Father. Whose Father?
Come on, Who's Father? Is he your daddy?
Does he care for you? Is he a perfect father?
He is 'cause he's not a man, that he should lie.
Your heavenly Father has never lied to you, ever.
Say Amen. He's never lied to you.
Now you may have misinterpreted something you heard in your head
that you thought was God and it wasn't.
Because God always does what he says.
And the only reason why what he says doesn't come to pass is if
you stop believing or never believe in the 1st place, you
can void it. You can't.
Even though the power's there for God to perform his word.
OK, so our father say our father say my daddy, That's your daddy.
He's your father. Amen, I said.
He's your father. OK.
Who is in heaven? Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come, Your will be on as it is.
How many people are sick in heaven?
How many are sick in heaven? Do they have a hospital up
there? No, there's not.
No one is sick in heaven. So it must be the father's will
in his realm that sickness should not be is not a part of
his realm. And if he wants that to manifest
here, then sickness doesn't have to be a part of your life.
Are you hearing me? Or let's put it this way, it
doesn't have to stay with you. Now when I say it can't be a
part of your life, I'm not saying it's not on the earth
because it is on the earth because sin's on the earth.
Because the enemy's still functioning on the planet and he
has weapons that he forms against the church.
One of his weapons is sickness and disease.
Are you hearing me? So he does that.
And the fact that man has fallen in there and we are susceptible
to certain things, symptoms can manifest, but we don't have to
keep them. That's my point.
We can say, you know what, we're going to stop right here.
Amen. Because I'm going to believe the
report of the Lord. Because there were days that we
felt great, perfect. No problem.
Then all of a sudden we started feeling something different.
Well, guess what? Then we get whole again.
Even if you did it in the natural, my point is, it's
temporary. So you might as well believe
God's word that's eternal. Quit looking at what's temporary
and stay with what's eternal. So he wants his Kingdom to
manifest on the earth as it is in heaven.
In Matthew 417 you know this. It says from that time Jesus
began to preach and say repent, change your thinking, for the
Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Is it at hand?
Is it in our midst? Is it in our midst?
It has to be able to be in our midst, because how could God's
Kingdom come and his will be done on earth like it is in
heaven, if it couldn't be in our midst now?
So it's in our midst, OK? I said.
It's in our midst. And what did Jesus preach?
Repent. For the Kingdom of heaven has at
hand. So what did he preach?
He preached the Kingdom. But in order for you to get the
Kingdom, you got to change your thinking, right?
So he preaches the Kingdom, but he's letting them know you're
not going to get this if you're going to hold on to your
thoughts. Because if you keep living like
you're thinking, which is based upon your sight and how you
feel, well, then you're going to have what you see and have what
you feel your subject. But if you'll change your
thinking and believe my word. Then you can have what my word
says, and it can change what's going on here.
So I don't live by what I see. I live by the word of God, and
it changes what I see and what I feel.
OK, so we go on a few verses later in the same chapter, verse
23, look what it says. Jesus was going around going.
Throughout all Galilee, What's he doing?
He's teaching in their synagogue and proclaiming.
What's he proclaiming? The gospel.
But what is the gospel? It's the gospel of the Kingdom,
'cause that's what he preaches. He's preaching about this
government that he is the king of and all of his benefits
associated with it. OK, he's proclaiming the gospel
of the Kingdom. Now look what's taking place.
Because he's talking about the Kingdom and healing.
How many kinds of disease? How many kinds?
How many kinds except cancer.
Except lymphoma. Except tuberculosis.
Except type 2 diabetes. Except bipolar depression.
Except is that in there? Now I love this verse 'cause
it's every kind of disease. This is what I call the
algebraic equation. The guy was like, I don't care
what man's going to name anything, I heal every kind at
every stage. Every kind at every stage, every
kind at every stage, I said. Every kind at every stage and
healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness
because you understand some symptoms are not something that
technically can take us out physically.
It's not the it's not really taking us out physically anyway.
And here's the thing about sickness is that a lot of times
we'll put up with sickness 'cause we ourselves know it's
temporary. Well, this ain't going to kill
me. I'm sniffling a little bit.
This ain't going to kill me and we don't even bother God yet.
That's in his every category. I said that's in his every
category. And every kind of sickness among
the people. Look at Matthew Chapter 9, verse
35. Matthew chapter 935 says Jesus
was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in the
synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom.
And what was he doing? Just in case you didn't get it
in the 4th chapter, we getting it in the 9th chapter.
Every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
I said every. Every kind.
Now the last thing you want to conclude is that there's no
other option but just to believe God only.
You are to believe God only and do what his word says.
Because some diseases and sicknesses you can't actually
stand in faith for 'cause you don't have enough information.
My people perish due to what? So the scripture is not saying
don't ever go to a doctor. Now how do we know?
God has no problem with a doctor because he was going to a a guy,
a religious guy's house, to heal his daughter.
One day he had come to him and said, my daughter, she's about
to die, she's at the point of death.
Will you come lay hands on her and heal her?
He says. OK, I'm go to the house.
So he's moving. Towards the house, right.
But it's a big crowd and it's taking some time to get there.
It just so happens that another woman.
Who's. Quite a bit older is, you know,
in the vicinity and here's Jesus is walking through the streets
now she's got a problem. She's had a sickness or disease
for 12 years. She is bleeding.
And so as a result of that, she's gone to the doctors.
The Bible tells us this historical count of her, you
know, diagnosis, and they have treated her with everything
known to medical science at the time.
She has not gotten better, she's only gotten worse.
So she's all of her money has gone into her trying to get her
healing. Well.
When she hears Jesus is here, she's obviously heard that he's
been able to heal because she concludes if I just touched a
man's helm. So she's heard something about
his touch. So she's like, well, if I can
just touch him now, she's already concluded.
I'm so weak. I'm probably not going to walk
up to the guy by the time I get through the crowd.
If I get through the crowd, although that's she's like, I'm
going to get through the crowd because I'm going to get mine is
I'm going to, I'll be at the place that I'm going to be on
the ground and I'm just going to be able to reach out and touch
the man. It's him of which she did.
OK, it says when she touches his hem, immediately say
immediately, immediately she's healed and she knows it.
But at the same time, immediately God knows power
leaves him and he's like, who touched me, y'all remember this?
And he says who touched me? And Peter's like, seriously,
Jesus, all these people, I mean you got so many people touching
you right now, how can you say that?
He said no, no, no, no. Power.
Has left me. When the woman realized that she
has not escaped notice, she testifies.
So guess what? She tells him.
This is what I had for 12 years. I've gone to the doctor.
You know what he doesn't say to her?
Why'd you waste all your money on doctors?
He never said that to her. He didn't rebuke her for going
to the doctor. So if a believer ever rebukes
you for going to the doctor, that's not God, 'cause God
didn't do that. The healer himself didn't do
that. In fact, the healer himself,
when he healed the lepers, 'cause they then came to him and
says, Lord, if you're willing, he said, you know I am and he
heals as they go, he said. Now go show yourself to the
priest that was which, and by all rights that was a physician.
According to the law to determine that leprosy was no
longer on the IT wasn't a medical doctor like we think
today. The priest's responsibility was
to determine whether leprosy was cured or not on a human being.
So when he says go show yourself to the priest, Jesus is saying
go back to the doctor to get your clean bill of health.
So again, when people's like, oh, the Lord's healed me, I'm
not going back to the doctor. Why?
Jesus made the lepers go to the doctor to get their clean bill
of health. And if you're healed, why are
you afraid to go to the doctor anyway?
Surely he's going to conclude the same thing you're believing,
and then we get to testify in front of them and the nursing
staff and anyone else that God healed.
Me say Hallelujah. So when we read those
scriptures, what this tells us is that the Lord may have
methods by which He needs you to understand how He is.
Now when I say that I'm not saying that God's answer is
medical. I'm not concluding that, but
some for some medical helps because it has not manifested
just in the Spirit. In your body.
And until then, you need to do whatever you need to do to keep
your process moving. Now you don't do anything to
violate what the Holy Spirit's telling you to do.
I'm not telling you just, 'cause you go to a doctor and they say,
hey, we're going to do this. And the Holy Ghost says don't do
that treatment, then you shouldn't do that treatment
because God knows your body better than they do.
They're practicing, and He knows you.
He created you. But if he says you can go ahead
and do this, well guess what? Then you need to do it, because
now you're following the will of the Father.
But my point is, is when the kingdom's preached, guess what
is included healing. Healing is included.
When Jesus has gone around all these areas, he's gone to
Galilee. It says he goes to cities and
villages, Matthew 9 tells us. All these locations that he's
going to, and he's just preaching on the Kingdom.
Guess what's included with that message?
Healing, healing, healing, healing, healing, healing.
Every kind. Every kind.
Every kind at every stage. Every kind at every stage.
And you know what the worst stage is?
In case you want to know is when it kills you.
That's the worst stage. But it's still not out of God's
reach because he can raise resurrect even the dead and get
off you. What killed you so that you live
and not die? Now that doesn't mean live and
not die naturally, because we're all going to die.
The Bible says it was appointed. For all men to die once.
Now the cool thing is apparently for us, 'cause I'm trying to
include myself into into this generation of the ones who will
put on immorality. That'd be so fast of a death.
Now it is death, because death just means separation.
I'll separate from my mortal and put on immortality, and that'd
be in the moment. In the twinkling of an eye, it'd
be the fastest death resurrection you've ever seen in
your life. Hallelujah.
I have to assume it doesn't hurt.
Dude, we just died and we're alive again.
Wow. I mean, I couldn't even think of
fast enough. It was so quick.
All right. Anyway, so here's the thing.
Jesus healed primarily 4 ways when Jesus did heal.
He healed by touch. He'd lay hands.
And they'd be healed. He touched the leopard, he
touched blind eyes, and they were healed.
Another way he healed was through the gifts of the Spirit.
Now there are healings that function through the gifts of
the Spirit. And this is the problem with
Christianity. You know again with us
fantasizing about God instead of seeing God for who he is.
The way that we hear God heals everything.
Then we conclude that one method does it all.
And that's not true 'cause if one method did it all, then God
would have only done one method. But God did not do one method.
God did some based upon the gifts of the Spirit.
There are 9 gifts, of which one of the gifts is the gifts of
healing. If the laying on of hands of
which we can do lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
There are conditions by which man can be healed that way, and
it doesn't have to be any other way, but there are conditions
that it requires the Holy Ghost to move.
For that to happen, which means the laying on of hands will not
get the results, because the gifts of the Spirit are not as
man wills, but as the spirit wills and he moves upon man.
And we know Jesus operated like a man.
He was all God, but he functioned as a man full of the
Holy Ghost. So when we get to the pool of
Bethesda, that is the gifts of the Spirit in operation.
Because here's a guy laying at the pool, paralyzed.
Can't get in, which means we got muscle.
What's that called? Thank you.
You know, the stuff's not working at all.
And guess what? In this?
Now that doesn't have to happen in every case, because the gifts
didn't function like that. When the guys ripped the roof
off and the other paralyzed came down because the gifts weren't
functioning, their faith was functioning.
And he healed that guy at his word.
He didn't even touch him. He said, pick up your mat and
walk. And what did he say?
Seeing their faith. So their faith prompted his
declaration. And when Jesus said get up and
walk, the only thing that stops you from walking is you're
yielding to that word. Because if the guy would have
said I can, I'm paralyzed, he would have nullified the power
of that word. But did he do that?
No, because he was in faith. And when Jesus said get up, take
up your mat and walk, he acted on that word and he was
strengthened in his legs and his muscles and his bones and
feeling came back and he picked up Walt, that thing right out
the house. Yet enough strength to be able
to pick the thing up. He was on, right?
But at the pool of Bethesda, there were a lot of sick people,
not just this one guy. And yet the Holy Ghost picked
the guy out. Now again, you can say, why did
God do that? I can't answer that question.
I can't answer. You can ask him one day.
All I know is he knows what's going on in everybody's life.
He knows what's taken and occurring.
For whatever reason the Holy Ghost that day wanted that guy
who had been that way for like 38 years and through the gifts
because he says what do you want?
The guy's like man, I can't get to the water.
He don't even know Jesus. No faith.
He has no faith in Jesus at all. But because of the gifts, Jesus
was able to function in a way. That and the Holy Ghost got
involved. And outside of that man's faith
he got healed. So you can do it by touch.
You can do it through the gifts of the Spirit.
You can do it at his word. But then you can also be healed
by their faith. Jesus healed people by their
faith. The woman again with the issue
of blood that was flowing touched his him.
She kept saying if I just touches him, I'll be healed.
Power left him. He wasn't even aware she was
near. He wasn't even conscious of her
faith. He didn't know she existed.
You said God. Jesus didn't know she, Jesus was
in a earth suit. If he's not getting the
instruction from the Holy Ghost, he don't know.
He did not know she was coming. He was not informed that she was
coming. He had no our king had no idea
that this woman was about to touch him, but when she did, he
knew power left and he didn't know who done it.
Our Jesus didn't know who did it.
This shows his humanity and his dependency on the Holy Spirit.
And that he himself had limitations in the context that
he was dependent upon being led by the Spirit.
And he's like, well, somebody touched me, powers left me.
In essence, you're not going to come get some without
testifying, right? And here's the thing.
A lot of times people want to get from God and don't want
nobody to know about it. And God wouldn't let that
happen, 'cause like, you going to testify, somebody's going to
testify. I'm not even moving now.
I mean, Jesus stops, so I'm not even moving.
And you understand the religious leaders, like my daughter's
about to die. Can we get to the house?
He's like, I can't go nowhere. I mean, somebody's touched me.
I I mean, who did this, right? And so she tells him so And he
says, he says, daughter, your faith has healed you.
Amen. Now tonight, three of these for
sure are going to be in operation.
I can't guarantee the 4th one, which is the gifts of the
Spirit, but I can't guarantee the three that is at a word,
we're declaring that it's included with the Kingdom.
So at a word you're healed. You can bring your faith when
you come. And then we'll lay hands on you.
And through touch, you can receive your total manifestation
of healing. Amen.
And you know what I've realized? Because again, I've gone back
into all my sermons back to 2005.
And when I type in healing, I don't have a whole lot.
I don't minister on the subject of healing a whole lot here.
Now that doesn't mean we shouldn't.
Because again, faith comes by hearing, but the reality is, is
we've been a extremely healthy church that we've had a included
process because we've been seeking first the Kingdom for so
long. The byproduct is that we've been
functioning in some really good health.
It's kind of what happens because the word does good like
a. Medicine.
So in essence, because we've been diligent every year to go
for the Bible cover, to cover what I've been giving you is the
vitamins and nutrition necessary for your body.
I'm not talking about just your spirit and your soul.
I'm talking about your body. We've been giving you a.
Diet that actually helps feed you physically.
It quickens your mortal body. And because of that, it's been
by products, so to speak. Now that doesn't mean there's
times that we don't need to focus on it and that we don't
need to bring it back up. Obviously in this moment some
things are kind of going around and we're just going to go ahead
and remind ourselves so that we can walk on into something
because what we do tonight who's not here and you see them on
Sunday and you hear them with a symptom.
They may be coughing, blowing their nose or something else.
Don't wait for them to come into service.
What you're going to do is you're going to say, you know
what Pastor prayed, did this on Wednesday night?
Laid hands on us. We received our heel.
I'm going to lay hands on you. Going to get rid of this today.
You're going to do it in the lobby.
You're going to do it in the parking lot.
You're going to do it with a chill.
I don't care where you're at. Because again, healing is not
just for this time is for the believer.
To do so you need to do. Which is another reason why we
don't preach on healing a whole lot here is because we do know
how to pray for one another. And let me just say this.
Don't get spiritually prideful to get your healing on your own.
Now believe God on your own. But when I came in a week ago
and I, you know, sounded deeper than Barry White.
You know, but again, what we're just pushing on.
We going to preach anyway, right?
And we're all gargly and sounded.
But you know what? I had three people lay hands on
me before I ever got to the platform.
They heard me pass her. I said, yeah, I said, well, I
got some symptoms, you know. Well, you're the heal the Lord.
Yes, I am. And then they and then they pray
for me. I didn't say don't touch me,
man. I got my healing.
I didn't do that. I'm like, bring it on.
Give me another witness. Give me somebody else in
agreement. Because you don't feel what I
feel, and at the end of the day, you're confident that you can
lay hands on me. According to scripture, I'll
receive the dose from you. I'll take another dose.
I'll get another infusion of faith, of healing in my body.
I'll do it. Pastor Mark, text me on Sunday
and said how you doing? I said good.
I said, yeah man, I'm like 9098 percent, 95%, you know, I'm,
I'm, I'm rocking. He said, well I sound like you
like you did Wednesday. I said, uh, I said wow, that's
not good. He said yeah, I said, well he
said pray for my voice. So I prayed right there as the
text. I said in the name of Jesus,
your voice is going to get stronger.
Well, later on that afternoon I said, how does service go?
He said. My voice got stronger.
Amen. What I loved about that is he
didn't act like I get on my own, though he can't get it on his
own. He knows healing, He knows the
scripture, He knows where to go. But again, it's about this
connection. It's about community.
It's about believers coming together in unity.
Amen. You know, because sometimes we
get into these situations about healing and they're like, well,
I already got mine. I'm not going to go.
I I don't need nobody to lay hands on mine.
I already believed I received well.
Did you receive breakfast this morning?
Did you eat lunch? I bet you ate dinner.
So you don't quit receiving because you ate once.
I mean, it's not a lack of faith for you to come up and say give
me another dose. Now it's different.
If you're like, I didn't get it, now that's a whole another ball
game. Because if you don't think you
got it and you don't think the laying on the hands is going to
get it to you, then you're not going to get it anyway because
your doubts, what's keeping your symptoms from changing?
Are you hearing me? So you might as well come get
more, because here's the thing I've concluded.
If it's not off. Then I'm doing everything to
continue to apply, 'cause it ain't over till it's over.
So why get complacent? And too often we do this with
the sickness. Well, it'd be a couple days to
be all right. I mean, we sound like Pharaoh.
Think about that. Moses says he's like Moses.
Get rid of these frogs, he said. OK, just tell me when you want
it. Tomorrow.
He said that tomorrow, not like now, right?
And we're like, well, we'll be better tomorrow.
Amen. I mean, when I had this, when we
came back from the trip, you know, 'cause I didn't sleep
super great on the flight back over.
And so the very next day I took something, my wife's like you,
Guinea, take something to help you go to sleep, and that says
knock you out. So you're not staying awake
'cause you're coughing. And so she gave me some of that,
like Alka Seltzer nighttime stuff, right?
It knocked me out, bro. I was out for like 24 hours.
My wife says I was out for 12. I got up while she was asleep,
got some water, and then I went back to bed, saw her the next
morning. So it was 212 hour.
Shifts is what it was. Anyway, she did.
And I called her back in the in the room and I said lay hands on
me and pray over me. I mean, don't just assume I got
something now, she wouldn't assume, but that's where I'm at.
Like, I'm not just here to assume that just 'cause I'm a
man of God and believe God and a child of God, that my wife get
in agreement, get up in here, put your hands on me, touch me
and pray over me, 'cause I want somebody anointed on your life
in this situation so that I can come up out of this quicker.
Are you hearing me? OK, so then, did it?
Does it stay with Jesus? Obviously not.
Matthew. Chapter 10, verse seven and
eight. It says this.
And as you go, say me go. As you go, say me go.
That's not amigo, That's you. Go.
All right, as you go, preach, saying the Kingdom of heaven is
at hand, guess what's included? Heal the sick.
Now he gets a little deeper here because Jesus, when he's
preaching, we know he's healing every kind of disease and every
kind of sickness. But we understand it goes beyond
that because there's more included with the Kingdom than
that. And Jesus goes ahead and lets
his lets his disciples have this kind of access.
He said go ahead and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
the lepers. That means cure the incurable
disease, cast out demons, get rid of the source.
Right. Get rid of the source.
Because again, sometimes we can lay hands on people.
Now I'm talking more common, you know, workplace than it should
be in here. Obviously it can happen in here.
I mean, someone could come in and this could happen, you know,
because again, Jesus dealt with one woman that was bent over and
he rebuked a spirit of infirmity.
Sometimes if you pray for healing and they start symptoms
aside, but then it comes back and it seems like there's this
long period, you might want to take in consideration that a
spirit of infirmity keeps trying to show up with a little
symptom. So you might want to go a little
deeper and say I rebuke you spirit of infirmity.
Don't come to me no more with your symptom because there are
spirits out there that carry symptoms.
And you can get a reprieve, but you haven't gotten rid of the
source. So if you're a person that's
always having a nagging at something, it's like you can't
ever get past. You go from one thing to the
next thing to the next thing to the next thing.
We going to talk about this more next year?
In 2024 you might want to stop and say I bond the spirit of
infirmity. Because I should not have all
these conditions keep showing up in my life over this type of
period. Amen.
Because again, the devil again, if he's trying to kill you, he
can't do it abruptly, that's true.
But majority of time he's like spoon feeding you stuff.
You know, it's like the people who's killed their spouses
because they gave them a little bit of something in their
coffee. It was hard to trace.
Well, you laugh, but I mean, that's how the devil does.
He puts a little bit in your head, puts a little bit in your
head, puts a little bit in your
head, and you eventually find yourself and then he can feed
more in your head because now you've developed a tolerance to
that one, right? OK, Well, same thing can happen
with the spirit of infirmity. And give you a little symptom
here that comes off, gives you different symptom here he ain't
left. He likes sitting in the room.
All right, so again, it's included with the Kingdom, even
if Jesus himself isn't doing it. Because he says as you go and
you minister the Kingdom, you talk about the Kingdom.
You represent the Kingdom well. He'll the sick raise the dead,
cleanse the lepers, cast out demons freely you receive what?
Freely what? Freely what?
Luke 10, nine says this and heal those in it who are sick and say
to them now this is when he's talking about going into cities.
He said, I want you to go into cities, right?
And you're going to go into these people.
And now if there happens to be anybody at the house you're
staying at that's sick, you're going to heal them and then say
this, tell them why they're being healed.
The Kingdom of God has come near.
It's included with the Kingdom. I said it's included with the
Kingdom. Now I the best example I can
give to you is modern day right now because at this point
there's a whole humanitarian aid showing up in Gaza and what are
they doing? They're showing up representing
the United nation or a nation and saying we're it's included
with us coming so. Because we're Kingdom citizens,
guess what's included with us? Healing.
Healing is included with us now. It's not.
We're not the doctors. We are really the the, the, the
RNS. We come, we get to come in, do
all the diagnosis, and you know, they do all anyway.
And then the doctor comes in and signs the name.
He authorizes it. So that's when we the RN, we get
to take all the vitals, say in the name of Jesus and he
authorizes it. They heal.
Amen. I'll be an RN for the Lord
because he's authorizing it. He's the one who paid the price
for it. Luke Chapter 9, verse two.
Then we'll jump down to 11 and it says this.
And he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to what?
It's included. Are we a Kingdom?
Church? Do we believe in the Kingdom?
So then the healthcare system of the Kingdom, and let me just say
it is healthcare because if he's curing you then you're not in
health. In order for curing to take
place, you can't have health cure cause health is health.
You're sick. That's why it's health care is
to continue to care for your health so that you can stay
healthy. Unfortunately, our healthcare
system is a broken system and it does not.
It doesn't help your health. It actually gives you more
symptoms cuz just check your prescriptions.
We're going to, I'll, I'll eliminate this symptom only to
give you these symptoms. But that's all right.
We got a pill for that. And now you're compete.
You are a repeat customer. It's called capitalism in the
medical system. That's why our cars don't last
as long as they do. Our phones don't last as long.
It's it our refrigerator. I mean, I ain't going to lie.
I spent some money on my refrigerator a year ago
thinking, you know, the Lord's blessed me.
I don't have to go cheaper. I'm going to get something
that's going to last. Ha, what a lie.
Yeah, I mean, got to. I mean, I'm paying for a
warranty. That why if you just make it
right, I don't have this problem.
Right. This is why some of y'all went
and bought those ones that are 20 year old washing machines
because they're still running. I'm not talking about these, but
it's not fashionable right? Man, forget fashion for I just
wash my clothes just keep my I mean we bought in a we bought an
apartment size refrigerator and I got in the garage because I
don't have one. My big fancy one is.
DO dead on arrival. You know, it's.
I can't get it to resuscitate. I mean, it only lives for three
days and then it dies every day. So, you know, praise the Lord
the Lord's vindicating us for us all over with.
And then at that point, once I get it fixed, I may just get rid
of it anyway and find an old one that actually runs.
And I'll paint it and make it look new.
I'm done with the stainless steel.
I'm bringing a new style back, painted, whatever.
No, I'll get the media team to do a wrap for me.
I'll just wrap it and I'll say this is a Kingdom.
House or something, OK. So the Kingdom of God and and to
perform healings. It's included verse 11.
But the crowds were aware of this and followed him, welcoming
them. He began speaking to them about
what Kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.
It just is included, guys. I said it's included.
Now Jesus has died and raised from the dead just so you know
that it's still functioning though he's seated in heaven.
In Acts chapter one, we know Jesus is alive and he tells them
to tarry until the Holy Ghost comes.
They'll be in do with power from all high and then they can be a
witness for him and they watch him go.
In chapter 2, the Holy Ghost falls and they receive the power
of the Holy Spirit. And he preaches and people get
born again. It's pretty amazing time.
But Jesus is not on the planet anymore.
In chapter 3 they're going to pray and the guy's begging who
is sick and Peter through the gifts fixes his eyes on him and
snatches the man up out the off the ground who's paralyzed and
through the gifts heals the guy. Then the name of Jesus Raise up
and walk and he snatches him. If you study it from the
original Greek, he pulls him when he makes that statement.
And the guy's healed. Verse chapter 4.
He's on trial. Here it is, verse 9.
We'll pick it up. Chapter 4, verse 9.
So Jesus not on the planet in the flesh.
And he says, if we are on trial today for the benefit done to a
sick man as to how this man has been made, well, let it be known
to all of you. And to all the people of Israel,
that by the name I said, by the name of Jesus Christ the
Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead by
this name, this man stands here before you, in, in, in, in good
health. So Jesus does not have to be
personally present on the planet for you to be healed.
We just have to use the name. I said just have to use the
name. Just have to use the name.
Why are we authorized? Because of the payment.
First Peter chapter 2, verse four says for he bore our sins
in his body on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness. For by His wounds you were
healed. His physical wounds did not
bring you spiritual salvation. His blood paid the price for
your wrongdoing, but the physical wounds is what opened
the door for your physical body to be able to have manifestation
of this alive person in Christ and the Holy Ghost living on the
inside of you. For you to be in the covenant of
a person who can have a healthy body as long as you continue to
do the purpose, God is a sign for you in the planet to bear
fruit for Him. You have a legal right as a
citizen of the Kingdom of God to walk in health and healing.
Amen. Because he's paid the price, he
bore it, Isaiah 53 five says. For he was pierced through for
our transgression, he was crushed for our iniquities, The
chastisement of our well-being fell upon him, and by his
scourging we are healed. Obviously Peter says you were
healed. Isaiah spoke before it took
place, right? Peter speaks after it's taken
place. So this is already settled.
Jesus does not go to the cross again for somebody getting born
again, nor is he taking the stripes on his back anymore.
For someone who needs to be healed, it is by faith.
I said It is by faith that you receive three ways.
By faith, if the gifts need to be in play, then the gifts will
get in play and the gifts will do what the gifts can do.
And your faith doesn't have to be included.
It will require your faith to keep because what the gifts give
don't mean you get for eternity you yourself again.
Jesus healed a guy who he said pick up your mat and go
somewhere. I don't know if it was the same
guy. So y'all can help me because he
obviously healed a lot of people.
But remember he walked around the Pharisees were like, why are
you walking with your mat bro? Because he healed him all the
Sabbath, right? And he's like, well, God told me
who was he? I have no idea, don't even know
his name. OK, so he finds him again,
right? And he says to him, go and sin
no more. So nothing worse will come on
you. So the gifts are not a
guarantee. You keep the healing you
received. You still have the
responsibility to know your rights and to continue in Bill
and make a demand on that what God did for you, independent of
you, you're not going to lose now.
And the devil has no right to 'cause there's many believers
that have had a have received healing only for symptoms to
come back at another time and then conclude, well, I guess God
didn't want me to have it after all.
That's a lie. God doesn't tease us.
He doesn't do that. He's not malicious like that.
Going to heal you supernaturally of something that only the gifts
could do, and then put it back on you.
He does not do that. That is not the character of
God, but the devil. He sure wants to put it on you,
so don't give him an opportunity.
Are you ready to be healed? I said, you ready to be healed?
Are you ready to receive it? Because you are healed as far as
eternity is concerned. As far as Jesus concerned, your
body is already whole. Thank you so much for listening
