Thanks for checking out the anger Faith Message podcast from
st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. Okay.
Are y'all ready for night? Two of healing.
Amen. So so did I hope you came
expecting and hooked up because as you, you know, you have as
big of a part to play, which I said that last week you have to
come drawing and expecting but healing is for us.
We are in a covenant of healing and God is the Healer, he's
Jehovah Rapha. And if you missed Last week you
need to go back and listen to it because it is it is the word of
God and how God has delivered you and set you free and
redeemed, you from the curse, he's redeemed you from that.
So everything that's in the curse every sickness, every
disease, every every in bodily harm.
Anything, any of those things are all included in the curse
and you're redeemed from that. But, but you have to know in
life. Sure resisting and what your
yielding to because if you don't know to resist those things are
you think I'm gonna God's going to get Glory out of something?
Then you're not going to resist it.
You have to have a clear understanding that God sets, you
free, and he's desired that you have a long life on the earth
and that you glorify him in Body Mind, Spirit Soul every kind of
way. And so that's the goal in us.
And US ministering, I have a lot of want to cover tonight, but
hook up with me because this will set you free, not only in
the area of healing, but in every area of your life, to
check to do a hard Shack to go, am I actually in faith and what
do I do? And what does it look like when
I am in faith? So so healing is the children's
bread but you have to actually eat the bread.
It's for you but you have to actually learn how to Sieve it
learn how to meditate on it, learn how to believe it.
Receive it and act upon it. So we're going to talk about
that first Peter 2:24. I just want to say this, as
weird as we're starting, it says, who his own self bare our
sins in his body on the tree that we being dead to sins
should live unto righteousness and by whose Stripes you were
healed, does it say you're going to be healed?
No, you were healed, which means you are healed right now.
You are Hill today. It's already done so we're not
trying to get it. We're not trying to obtain it.
We're not trying to be good enough before God so that we can
just be approved and get this thing.
No, you got it, you got it, you are the righteousness of God in
Christ Jesus. It was done on that day.
He bore it on the cross and it's yours.
But you have to know how to say it is.
Mine. And what that looks like.
So last week I started with third John 1:2 and it says
beloved friend. I pray that your prospering in
every way and that you continually enjoy good health.
Just as your soul is prospered during and the new King James,
it says that you prosper in all things and be in health, just as
your soul prospers. So a quick review, does your
soul have anything to do with your health?
Absolutely? Whatever.
And see you internally affects your body at affects you.
Externally it affects you and your health and your body.
And you have to understand that we talked about Ephesians where
it says, do not give the devil a foothold, or a stronghold or an
open door. We looked at what those open
doors were I'll just recap them for you, you know, just
Disobedience, disobeying the word of God and we understand
and Deuteronomy it says if if you will obey All these
blessings will come on you, and, and if you don't, then all these
curses will come on. You is the blessing and The
Curse still alive in the Earth today.
Yes. But are we redeemed from the
curse? Yes we are.
So open doors, Disobedience and forgiveness, prolonged.
Emotional, traumas, one. But I like to say prolonged
because, you know, almost all of us have gone through some kind
of emotional dysfunction and Trauma in our childhood.
But if you Don't actually let God heal that then it affects
the way. You think what you do, how you
respond, how you act in every way?
And so God says, that's why he said in Psalms.
I came to heal the brokenhearted and to bind up every wound.
So, so if you just never deal with those things, you've had
all kinds of trauma growing up and you just never deal with it.
Never open your heart to heal then.
It's going to affect your body, it's going to affect your
healing. Another thing was generational
curses or, or patterns strongholds, that have not been
overcome things can pass down from generation to generation
again, if you have not released it, if you have not forgiven and
let go, which leads me to the next one, which was inner vows.
And these are just a few open doors, but inner vows are those
things? Where, you know, growing up,
maybe your dad was an alcoholic. Our or some other thing, and you
say I hate that I'll never be that, I'll never do that.
And what you do when you make that internal vowel, is that you
build up these walls and you build up this resentment in your
heart and it, and it hinders you from moving forward, in Christ
and receiving everything that he has for you.
And so that's why you become the very thing that you hated.
And that's why you see generational things go from from
family to family. Because they end up doing the
very thing that they hated because they never released it.
So we understand that the open doors could cause sickness in
your body, even in Proverbs, 26 2 as says.
So the curse causeless should not come.
What does that mean? It means the curse is only going
to come if there's a reason Okay, so the curse is not going
to come to your life in any kind of way, unless there's an open
door for that. Now besides open doors.
We also said that cygnus can just be at and attack, you know,
it can, there can be a virus going around your you.
Everything's good with you, you're living by faith but but
cold symptoms came or or an attack of, you know, something
else even bigger came to you and you know, it's just demonic.
It's all of its demonic. Check.
But you just understand that this is an attack from the
enemy. So this is why last week I had
two different altar calls and said if if you know it's an
attack and you're dealing with symptoms in your body, then come
up here. And we're going to, according to
James chapter 5, we're going to lay hands on you and anoint you
with oil, and you're going to be healed.
And there is testimonies from that of healing.
So so that is we're praying for the sick and they're healed, but
then, I gave another call. All that if you knew that you
had opened a door, you know, and that's not anything to have
Shame about but it's something to deal with.
If you have unforgiveness, if you've opened a door in any kind
of way then just come to the Altar and close that door and
release that thing and let's get you healed.
And so, we had people respond to both now.
Either way sickness disease, those things are not from God.
Okay, you have to be super clear about that.
That the Devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy, but God came
to give us life and give us life more abundantly, when was
sickness life abundantly never never.
Cygnus is not from God and you have to be very clear about
that. So we deal with these
differently and you have to have enough discernment to know, have
I opened a door? Is there anything I need to deal
with? Or is this just an attack?
So now, I want to move forward tonight on.
How do we know that we received our healing?
This is a big deal. Thank you.
Holy, ghost, that you're going to give me the unction to get
this across so that we get it as a body because this will bring
us victory in every area of Our Lives.
You know, he is Jehovah, Nissi. The Lord, our Victory.
And so we should have Victory. We should have victory in every
area of our lives. So, how do we know that we were?
Received our healing, if lingering symptoms are still
there. What do we do?
How do we know that? Okay, and now we're going to
make this real clear. But first, I want to say first,
you have to hearken diligently. If you're dealing with symptoms
in your body, whether it was before last week or even now you
have to hear and be healed. There's multiple scriptures that
talk about how they came to Jesus.
They heard and they were healed. They first had to hear And they
were healed. You can't just come, I just want
healing, but I don't want to embrace everything that God has
in the word because you're just wanting what he can do for you.
And he wants to heal you in every way inside and out.
And there may be something that you say I need healing in my
body and he says, I need you to change this about your eating.
Or I need you to deal with this issue that you have in your
heart and that's what the Holy Ghost does and the Holy Ghost,
that's what his job is here on the earth.
This is his time. This is his dispensation so that
he can lead you and guide you in the truth.
And he can show you things that are to come.
He can. He can minister to you.
And say, if you don't deal with this, this is what's going to
take place. If you don't change this
pattern, if you don't start doing this, he talks to you
about those kind of things. He knows everything that you're
doing and he can talk to you about every Dynamic of it.
So let's go to Exodus 15:26. This is where we first talked
about. He is Jehovah Rapha the Lord,
who heals us. It says, and said, if you will
diligently hearken or diligently?
Listen. To the voice of the Lord thy
God, and you'll do everything that is right in his sight and
will give ear to his Commandments and keep all his
statutes. I will put none of these
diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians for.
I am the Lord that healeth thee. So it's saying if you will
hearken diligently, if you will do what it says, in the word of
God to do, if you'll listen, if you'll pay attention, if you'll
meditate on it, you know, the meditation of your heart is a
big You'll what's your meditating on?
Remember, I talked about your brain and those trees.
Last week, what's your meditating on is what keeps
everything in alignment in your body.
So you're either meditating done Joshua's a meditate day and
night What are you meditating on?
What are you thinking on all day?
Because you can be saying one thing and really thinking
another and and what does the bible call?
That double minded. So we got to make sure we get
our meditation in line and hearken to what he's saying and
then speak that out of our mouths because that's where
there's life and that's where there's healing.
So he's Jehovah Rapha the Lord. Our healer or another word is
the Lord. With our physician, he's your
doctor, he is that for you. Now, let's go to Luke chapter 5
verses 15 and 17. Luke chapter 5 verses 15 through
17. It says, however, the report
went around concerning him, all the more concerning Jesus and
great multitudes came together to hear and to be healed by him
of their infirmities. So he himself often withdrew
Into the Wilderness and prayed. Now, it happened on a certain
day as he was teaching that there were Pharisees and
teachers of the law sitting by who had come out of every town
in Galilee Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was
present to heal them. Do you think they got healed?
The Pharisees, the teachers of the law, but was the power of
God present for them to get healed.
So can the power of God be present for you to get healed
and you not get healed? Sure.
Can it you could have walked away.
A last week and gone. Well, I don't even know why they
laid hands on me. I didn't get nothing, you'll
have nothing. Then the way that you respond
has to be by faith and we're going to look at that.
What do you do? When someone lays hands on you
and you hook up and you go, this is my healing.
This Is My Line in the Sand. I got it.
And what does that look like? When you when you got it?
And we're going to we're going to look at that what it looks
like when you got it. Romans 10:17.
When teen says, so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by
the word of God. So we've got a hearken hearken
to this, you know, the Sadducees and the Pharisees.
Did they come to here? Do they come to criticize?
Did they come to judge if you cut?
If you came in here in any kind of selfish way, you may not have
got your healing. If you came in here at any kind
of other way and just said, well maybe I'll just go up here and
see what happens, then you probably didn't get anything.
But if you came up here expecting, there's an anointing.
And when she and brother, Barry lay hands on me, I'm getting,
he'll die. It'll be done, I won't have to
think about it again. And even if I walk out of here
in a symptom hits me, I just say, oh, hallelujah, thank you
father. I'm the heel to the Lord.
Listen. This, the world does not do
this. The world does not do this.
Are you operating like people in the world when a symptom comes
when a trial? Comes to you, you just go.
Oh, what am I going to do? This is horrible.
May I didn't get healed. I'm still having symptoms.
Or are you going to believe that you got it?
Because this is your Victory, or it's, your defeat, and it's your
choice. It's not my choice.
It wasn't brother, berries Choice.
It's your choice. There can be power.
And there was power available to heal.
But you either chose to receive it or not?
Okay, so we have to choose to embrace the word, receive it and
be healed. We cannot be stressed about
getting healed. You know.
Frustration is not Faith. You know, if I could share a
quick testimony I got covid whenever all that was going on
and and I got a pretty serious case of it.
And in fact, I was like, I think almost died but I never went to
the hospital. Or anything.
But but I just thought I'm a, I'm a woman of faith.
I know the word I got this. No big deal.
So, when when you know stuff came on me, you know, I was like
I'll be done with this and a day or two but but I did not jump on
it by faith. I just assumed because I knew
the word you can know the word, but not be believing the word
and receiving the word and standing on the word.
So I got pretty sick. Nick and then I got really
frustrated and I was so frustrated that things just kind
of went downhill from there. And so I was frustrated, I
wasn't getting healing, I was just frustrated and I realized
because the Holy Ghost, prompted me, you're frustrated and you
cannot be frustrated and be in faith.
You cannot. So if you're frustrated and
you're dealing with symptoms in your body, then you're not in
faith. Okay, so you got to deal with
that. You got to deal with that
frustration and get yourself in faith and get in the word of
God. Proverbs 4 verse 10 says here,
my son and receive my sayings and the years of that, your life
will be many here and receive his words are medicine their
life to you. And, and that's not just healing
scriptures. You know, you can be meditating
on other scriptures and healing come to your body, you know?
No, you can be in a church service about some totally
different and you get healed in your body.
You the word of God washes, you, it washes, you it cleanses you
and it heals you in reference to open doors.
This is why sometimes we don't get healed because there's a
deeper issue and and God wants to minister to you by the word
of God to that deeper issue so that you can walk and physical
healing. So huge de listen to the Holy
Ghost and To open your heart Sam.
And if you if you think that you struggle in any kind of way here
in God, then your confession needs to be, I hear his voice
and another I will not follow, I know him I'm his sheep and he's
my shepherd and I know his voice and that doesn't always mean
that you're going to hear an audible voice because most of
the time you won't. But but that that still small
inward, witness that inward leading is the number one way
that That he leads you. So every time you go to eat
peanut butter and it doesn't feel right.
I like to use peanut butter because I like peanut butter,
but it doesn't feel right. It just feels like I should
chill a little bit. Take a break from that listen to
that, listen to that in. Don't don't justify it, don't
just go. Oh, that's just me.
It's not a big deal. You know, we do that a lot.
The Holy Ghost is prompting you. He's leading you by the end.
Word peace. The Bible says let peace.
Be your guide, Let It Be Your umpire.
And so he'll speak to us. A minister to us about
adjustments. We need to make and we justify
it and we ignore it. And you know what happens?
We grieve the Holy Ghost, we quench him.
And then we're still dealing with symptoms in our body and we
don't know why. When he's told you to stop doing
something a month ago and you still haven't done it and you're
still dealing. With symptoms.
Oh man, we got to listen. We got to yield to him on the
inside the word and the Holy Ghost.
So you choose to be healed. You choose to receive it by
faith. You cannot just say it's all in
the minister. It's all in.
I just have to have hands laid on me.
It's you it's you choosing that I'm going to receive it by
faith. So what do we do now?
Now, how do we know that we're We're in faith.
This is what I really want to get to some some people received
it instantly, got it. I got a testimony the next
morning of one that got it. Some people got it right away
and some people may have, I don't know, because everybody
didn't tell me but some people may have walked out of here and
gone, man. I'm still dealing with that.
What did you do in that moment? That's the key to your Victory
or not. So, what do we do in that
moment? Let's go to Isaiah 53.
This is so huge in life and healing in Victory.
And every way this principle is is, is your Victory.
It is that Isaiah 53. This is Isaiah prophesying about
what Jesus would do. It says, who has believed our
report and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed for,
he shall grow up before him as a tender plant.
And as a root out of the dry ground, he has no form or
comeliness. And when we see him, there's no
beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised. And another word for that is
disdained. He is despised and rejected by
Men. A Man of Sorrows that word
sorrow means, physical and mental pain.
Physical and mental pain. A Man of Sorrows and acquainted,
or he knew grief. And that word grief actually
means sickness, okay? And, and we hid as it were our
faces from him. He was despised, and we did not
esteem him. Surely verse 4, he has borne our
griefs. That means he's born every
sickness. Every sorrow which is, says, in
the next verse, he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows.
He has born every. You could say it this way, he's
born, every sickness, every disease, and every physical, and
mental pain that you have ever experienced.
He bore all of it, all of it. Yet we esteemed him stricken
Smitten by God and Afflicted, but he was wounded for our
transgressions, and he was bruised for our iniquities and
the chastisement for our Or our peace was upon him.
This is a big deal. And by his stripes, we are
healed. Say, I am healed.
I was healed and I am healed in Jesus name.
So what does healing have to do with peace?
Everything. Everything, the chastisement for
our peace was upon him. The punishment required for our
peace, our broken. Peace was upon him and by his
stripes we are healed. Now let's go to Isaiah 57, 19,
Isaiah 57, 19. I have several scriptures for us
tonight about this. It says, I create the fruit of
the lips, peace, peace to him, who is a far-off and to him, who
is Our says the Lord and I will heal him.
What is peace have to do with healing?
Everything. Jeremiah 33:6 says, behold I
will bring it health and healing and I will heal them and reveal
to them. The abundance of peace and
Truth. What does peace have to do with
healing? Everything?
It says, I will bring health and healing.
I'll heal them, I'll heal them and I'll reveal to them the
abundance. Abundance of peace and Truth,
Luke 848, Luke 848. And he said to her daughter, be
of good cheer. Your faith has made you well
now, go in peace. If I could, if I could title
this anything it would it would have to be go in peace because
what she healed. And what did he tell her to do?
Go in peace? Don't you worry about it?
You think about it again? Don't you go?
Make sure that it's done, don't you?
Don't you fret about it? Don't you try to get it, don't
you do anything other than believe the word of God and that
it was done and believe that I healed.
You go in peace, You Got It. Go in peace, Luke. 848 in the
Amplified says and he said to her daughter, your faith, your
confidence and trust in me as made you.
Well, go and enter into peace untroubled.
Old undisturbed and, and well-being, or at peace.
Go in peace. Once you got it, you should have
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, peace and joy.
And, you know, your heart. The Bible says you do.
It says, you know, that yet the Holy Ghost searches, the Deep
things of God and, you know, your heart, so, you know, if
you're at peace, you know, if your arrest You know, if you're
trusting, you know, if you're worried, you know, if you're
stressed, you know, if you think you don't got it, you know, if
you're in faith, you know that. Okay.
So let's go to Romans 14:17. After healing, you have to have
peace because if not you're in fear and you know there's no
reason for you to be in fear number one because God didn't
give you a spirit of fear. But also, what are you afraid
of? Because you got a first deal
with, I'm not afraid to die. I mean, there should be no fear
of death in you at all none. Yeah.
And if you're, if you're struggling, any kind of way, are
you afraid that to die? Are you just afraid to die
early? Well, once you conquer that, I'm
not afraid to die because I know the Lord Jesus, I know and what
a day of rejoicing that's going to be, then I can jump over into
all with long life then it will satisfy me and show me a Action.
I'm not afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of.
What? How come when we get symptoms on
us? We get afraid.
How come we go Google and stuff. Because you Google your little
symptom and next thing you know your dad you might as well, you
might as well just go ahead and die because you're gonna get the
worst thing on the top of the list when you Google it.
For sure. Jeremiah 33:6 says, no, I
already read that Romans 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not
eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy
in the Holy Ghost, the kingdom of God, it is this
righteousness, which you are in Christ, he's made you that it's
not anything, you did by any kind of work.
It's the gift of God, okay? You have to first settle that
that you are the righteousness of God in Christ.
You are that. So, the kingdom of God is
righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So, if you don't have peace and joy, you don't understand your
righteousness. First of all, that's a big deal,
but you don't have peace and joy.
Then then something's not right? You ought to be having peace and
joy all the time every day, no matter what comes to.
You no matter what feeling or emotion hits you, no matter what
symptom comes to you, that, you're able to laugh that you're
able to say, oh Gods my healer, I'm not moved.
Thank you Father. God healing is the children's
bread. Thank you.
Father, that I'm the heel to the Lord by your stripes.
You got to get on it, take your Dominion right.
Then you got to conquer, you got to get on top of those thoughts.
I remember when Miss Chelsea was was teaching Abby.
Notes and singing notes and she was talking about getting on top
of a note. And I remember when she said
that I was like I like that because in your thought life you
got to get on top of those things when you have a thought
opposite, what the scripture says to to take captive, every
thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
the the word of God says you're healed.
So anything that tries to get on top of that, you got to say you
get up underneath Neath, my feet.
I know and whom I believed and I know what he says that I am.
And that's it, that settles it glory to God and you got to
start giving him praise and worshiping him.
We're going to look at it. Hebrews chapter 4, Hebrews
chapter 4, joy, and peace in the Holy Ghost.
It says, therefore, since a promise remains of entering his
rest, let us fear, lest any of you of you seem to have come
short of it. It's saying if you're Not
learning how to rest. That's the thing.
You ought to be concerned about. Okay, for indeed, the gospel was
preached to us as well as to them but the word, which they
heard did not profit them because it was not mixed with
faith in those who heard it. So, can you hear the word and it
not benefits you and in not profits you because you didn't
mix Faith with it? Absolutely.
It says, for we who have believed do, enter into that
rest, The rest of God, if you're resting.
Are you at peace? Yeah.
So the only the only work that you're trying to do.
You're trying to get your healing.
You're not trying to to get yourself in a better position to
get heal. The work that you're doing is to
enter into this rest. That's the labor.
That the scripture says that you need to be doing is that I'm
going to do everything I can to get myself at peace and at rest
and that's your goal. That is your goal.
No matter what comes Financial physical healing, no matter what
it is. That is your goal is that I'm
going to rest? I'm going to do everything I can
to get myself in a position of peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
And if you don't have it, you gotta get it.
You got to get in the Word of God and get peace, and get
settled and be arrest. So I says we who have believed
do enter that rest, they did not enter because of unbelief but we
believe. So we enter into that rest.
Rest in peace. Do you believe that he did that?
He bore every sickness for you. Do you believe that the moment
that we laid hands on you last week that you were healed?
That it was done. All right, we're not done.
Now, you have to ask yourself. If you are, if you do believe
in, if you are a rest Romans 15:13, it says now may the God
of all hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that
you may abound in, Hope by the power of the holy spirit.
This is such a great gauge on your faith.
It says may the God of all hope fill.
You with all joy and peace in believing.
So you're not believing unless you have joy and peace.
You're not on faith unless you have joy and peace.
What is Joy look like? What is peace?
Look like, Joey is a spiritual force.
It is not an emotion. Yes pieces.
Also it's from God, it surpasses, your understanding.
It's not just a good feeling, it's not just, I had my coffee,
and I feel kind of good right now.
This is a, this is an eternal inward, peace.
That only God can give you. It's a choice.
I'm telling you. It's a choice.
Is such a great gauge on your face.
Are you believing? That's a choice.
Us, are you choosing to have joy, are you choosing to rest?
Are you choosing to Rejoice? You have to choose those things.
The feelings and the emotions of a sickness or a trial are going
to push you straight into fear. Always, they're always going to
demand and push you in that direction.
But the word of God is what brings you the peace and the joy
that you need. Let's go to 1st Peter, chapter 1
verses 7 and 8. First Peter chapter 1 verses 7
and 8. Eight.
The choice to Rejoice, a choice to enter into rest.
This is what gives you access to the anointing on the inside of
you too, healing to Victory to everything that you need.
When you choose to Rejoice, the more you choose to rejoice and
believe and act upon joy, and those things, the more access
you have to everything God has for you First Peter, chapter 1
verses 7 and 8 says that the genuineness of your faith being
much more, more precious than gold, that perishes though it is
tested by fire, may be found to praise honor and Glory at the
revelation of Jesus Christ whom having not seen you love though.
Now, you do not see him. Now, listen to this part though.
Now you do not see him yet. Believing you rejoice yet
believing you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of Glory
yet, believing you rejoice. Is it asking you or is it
telling you that in believing you should be rejoicing that in
believing you should have joy and peace on the inside.
Okay. Psalms 103 says, bless the Lord
O my soul and all that is within me.
Bless His holy name, bless the Lord O my soul and forget, not
all his benefits. Do not forget his benefits, who
forgives all your iniquities who heals?
All Oh. Oh, your diseases.
Who redeems are we redeemed? Who redeems your life from
destruction. Who crowns you with
loving-kindness and Tender Mercies, and who satisfies your
mouth with good things? So that your youth is renewed,
like the eagles. It says, bless the Lord O My
Soul, do not forget. It says, forget not all of his
benefits. He's healed all your diseases.
Has he's redeemed, your life from destruction, bless him, you
ought to bless him. You ought to thank him.
You are to give him all the glory, all the time, Rejoice,
always always. And again, I say rejoice, you
have to choose that nobody's gonna do it for you.
I've shared the story more than once this was years ago because
I've definitely grown a lot since since this moment, I can't
remember when it was But we were laying in bed, one night and and
dealing with something. This is probably after we first
moved here. I think a, my husband laying in
bed. We were walking through some
stuff and he said, ha ha ha. And I was like, what are you
doing? Like Scott, that's weird, stop
and and it wasn't weird. It wasn't weird.
Took me a little bit to be like, okay he's operating by faith.
You're not always going to feel like doing it.
You're not always going to feel like laughing, you're not always
going to feel like taking a step of Faith, man.
You got to be like a child. You got to be like a kid.
They just, they just dance when they hear the music, they just
sing, they don't care. They'll take off running,
doesn't matter. The Bible says, if you want to
be received, you got to come like that.
Oh, but we're so sophisticated. We're so locked up sometimes.
We got to get you got to get free if you are you free.
Are you free indeed? Okay.
James chapter 1 verses 2 & 3. James chapter 1, man.
That's some of the strongest faith.
When you get a bad report and you can immediately say, oh God,
you're faithful. I'm not moved.
Ha, ha ha. Thank you.
Lord, I'm rejoicing in this trial.
That's some of the strongest Faith right there. there's no
matter what comes to you, you can choose Life.
Choose to Rejoice James chapter 1, verses two, and three my
brethren count, it all joy. When you fall into various
trials, knowing that the testing of your faith, produces
patience. If you felt like doing it, it
wouldn't say, count it. You're not going to feel like
doing it. Oh man, we have to get this,
this is not just for physical healing.
This is for everything in your life.
If if you're heavy with depression, if you're dealing
with with poverty in any kind of way, no matter what you're
dealing with, you need to get on top of it by rejoicing.
By blessing him because he's redeemed, you from all of that.
Every bit of it, Faith, like a child, you know, I thought of
when I was talking thinking about dancing, I thought about
Brian Wilson because I'm not saying you're like a child.
I love. I love, we all have.
There are people in here that will like a child come up here
and worship and do stuff. I love he gets up there and he
just like it's his Aston when he's worse but I'm like, I love
that. I absolutely.
That is so good. Nobody does that.
Now, I might start doing that. I just love it because it's just
him. And and when, when the Holy
Ghost moves on him and he knows he needs to come up front, he
comes up and he's like a gorilla and he's beating his chest and
he's getting a victory when he does that.
I love, I love out of the way I thought of you in that moment
but he's making a A choice to come up here by faith.
You're not always going to feel like doing that.
I remember when I was dealing with some symptoms, we went to a
conference this is years ago and and Marty Blackwelder was
ministering and and I just knew I got to get out.
I was dealing with some with my knee.
That's what it was and I was like, I gotta run and I couldn't
run in that moment but I stepped out took off running and got
healed and that And that's your those are your moments when God
is moving. You think your hearts beating
out of your chest because you're just excited.
You think you think when the Holy Ghost is moving on you and
you just know your, your hands are shaking or your, your
sweaty, or your hearts doing something.
I'm not talking about being weird.
I'm not talking about being flaky because Wilshire tell you,
if you're doing that, but I'm talking about responding by
faith. I'm talking about if you have
something, if you have a function on the inside my
victories, in my run right now, I better run my victories in my
dance. I better dance.
My victories in me. Going to the altar.
I better go. Oh, don't stay locked up.
That's how you get, you get free, you get free.
Those freedom is in those. Holy Ghost movements.
Those Holy Ghost moments where he says move go obey do it.
It yield you got to yield to those things because that's your
freedom and that's your Victory. Luke 18 17, Luke 18, 17 who I
need a drink if anybody wants to bring me one.
Thank you, Ricky. Okay, Faith like a child, man.
Luke, 18, 17 assuredly I say to you.
Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child. Well bomb, what Bob well by no
means, enter it like a child. Okay so I'm going to bust
through Deuteronomy for a minute.
You know we've already done Deuteronomy 28 and you already
should be very clear that if I'm in verses 1 through, you know,
14. I'm Good.
But I don't mean I'm good and I'm just going to sit on the
couch. It means I'm good, and I'm
blessed of the Lord and I'm redeemed.
But you start 15 verse 15 and down.
You're in the curses because you're not doing what you're
supposed to be doing. Okay?
So I'm going to just hit a couple of Deuteronomy chapters
and tell you what God tells them to do.
And remember this is old Covenant, okay, so it should be
way more for us, way different for us.
Let's go to Deuteronomy. Chapter 12 verse seven.
We're just going to look real quick at some of the
requirements of the people. Every time they came together
every time they came together, not not just every once in a
while, but every time they came together, Deuteronomy chapter
12, I'm going to start at the beginning, but then I'm going to
jump to verse 5. It says, these are the statutes
and judgments which you shall be careful to observe in the land,
which the Lord your God, and your father's is giving you to
possess all the days that you live on the earth, verse 5.
But you Y'all seek the place where the Lord your God chooses
out of all your tribes to put his name for his dwelling place
and there you shall go there. You shall take your burnt
offerings or sacrifices your ties, the heave offerings of
your hand, your vowed offerings, your Freewill offerings and the
firstborn of your herds and flocks and there you shall eat
before the Lord your God. Okay.
This is when he's selling to do as they're going to their place
of worship, okay? And there you shall eat before
the Lord your God and you you shall rejoice in all to which
you have put your hand to and your households in which the
Lord your God has blessed you, you shall rejoice.
And that word Rejoice means to be glad or to cheer up some of
us need to cheer up. Okay, be glad or cheering.
This was a requirement Okay, this was not something.
He suggested, it's not something that he just said, well, you
know, if you if you're feeling like it go ahead and give me
praise and rejoice. No, he said this is what you're
going to do. This is how it's going to
happen, and then you're going to Rejoice, this is where you going
to do. Deuteronomy chapter 16, this is
he's laying out and explaining some of the feasts.
But if you go to verse 9, we're going to read nine through 12.
It says you shall count seven weeks for Begin to count the
seven weeks from the time, you begin to put the sickle to the
Grain and then you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord.
Your God, with a tribute of a free-will offering from your
hand, which you shall give as the Lord your God.
Blesses you now verse 11, you shall rejoice before the Lord
your God. You and your son and your
daughter, listen? Who he's son, he's not, nobody
gets out of this deal. Okay, you shall rejoice before
the Lord. Your God, you and your son and
your daughter. Daughter your male servant and
your female servant, the levite who is within your Gates, The
Stranger and the fatherless and the Widow who are among you at
the place where the Lord your God chooses to make his name
abide, and you will remember that you were a slave in Egypt
and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
There was no exemption was, a was a moody teenager, like,
exempt from this. I don't think so.
I mean, I think it included everybody.
You are not to let your teenagers be moody.
Can I just say that? Can I just have a quick
parenting moment? That's not okay, it's not okay
for a pet for teenagers to have an attitude for a teenager to
even do what I'm doing. Like this for a teenager.
Stephen to be like Firm to roll their eyes at you.
Oh no. No.
That should not be happening. You got to get on top of that
stuff because it's about the heart and if you have parents
that have young kiddos, if I could encourage you deal with
these things, when they are little bitty when they're
little, when they're little bitty, say no ma'am, SWAT them
on the hand and then give me a spanking.
When they're old enough, give him a spanking.
Ian and and you'll have teenagers, and you'll have kids,
that'll be a blessing. And there's supposed to be a
blessing. Your, you know, the Bible says
you're supposed to enjoy your children, I won't ask for a show
of hands, Deuteronomy chapter 26, Deuteronomy twenty six, this
is about tithing, are we still talking about healing?
We are and we're talking about how you're going to get it and
keep it and know that you have it and know that you're in
faith, okay? With anything Deuteronomy 26,
verse 9. He has brought us to this place
and has given us this land. A land flowing with milk and
honey. And now, behold I have brought
the first fruits of the land which You O, Lord, have given me
then you shall see At it before the Lord your God and worship
before the Lord your God verse 11.
So you shall rejoice and every good thing which the Lord your
God has given to you and to your house and to you and the levite
and the stranger who is among you.
So he again he's telling you you shall rejoice.
This is a commandment every time you come together.
You should Rejoice. Now verse Deuteronomy 28.
Remember we read the blessings in the cursor but let's look at
verse 45 to 47 It says, moreover all these curses will come upon
you and pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed.
Because you did not obey the voice of the Lord, your God, to
keep his Commandments and his statutes, which he commanded you
and they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder.
I we don't want those kind of signs and wonders and on your
descendants forever verse 47. Because you did not serve the
Lord, your God with joy and gladness of heart.
Let me read it again because all these curses are going to come
on you because you did not serve the Lord with joy and with
gladness of heart for the abundance of everything.
Therefore, you shall serve your enemies because you did not
serve him with joy and with gladness of heart.
And remember, I referenced this last Wednesday, remember in
Romans chapter 1, it says they knew Use the Lord.
But they did not honor him as God nor were they thankful.
And so God gave them over to a debased mind and that's why they
become deceived and they start, you know, women with women, men,
with men, all those things happening, but why?
Because they didn't honor him as God, nor were, they thankful
having a thankful heart is such a big deal.
Having joy and peace in the Holy Ghost is such a big deal.
Philippians 4:4, if you don't Rejoice, if you don't have joy,
you wind up getting tricked, you wind up being deceived and
yielding to the voice of the enemy.
But if you stay thankful in a thankful heart position, your
heart is open to hear God to yield to God, like a little kid,
the closer you are to God the quicker.
I'm going to Pond the quicker. I'm going to dance the quicker.
I'm going to yield to him the quicker.
I'm going to cry or laugh because I'm close to the Lord.
I'm close to his heart. But when you start moving away
cuz you're not yielding, you're not thankful, you complain, you
murmur member, we looked at that a little bit, the murmuring and
complaining, then then all this stuff comes upon you all this
heaviness comes upon you. Your things just continue to get
worse and worse because we're not thankful Philippians 4,
verse, 4, Rejoice. We know this one rejoice in the
lord. Always, again, I say rejoice,
Sighs. Why does he have to say it
again? Oh Rejoice, you ought to
Rejoice, you ought to be thankful.
You ought to give voice to something in your own life.
Not just here, not just like Deuteronomy when we all come
together, but every day in your life, Psalm 24 says he who sits
in the heavens shall laugh, you know, he does it, he sees the
plot of the devil, he sees all the things that are going on in
the earth. And the Bible says he sits in
the Heavens and he, laughs. So you should be doing that
because the Bible says you're seated in Heavenly places with
him, he's laughing, you might ought to laugh.
You might ought to get with him and just get some joy and get
some peace Nehemiah 8:10. Nehemiah 8:10.
We know, says, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
In the Amplified. It says, do not have sorrow or
do not be worried. Do not be fretful for the joy of
the Lord is your strength and your stronghold.
The joy of the Lord is your strength and your stronghold.
This is your temple. This is your Tipping Point if I
could say that a fear or frustration.
So, What we're about to do is we're about to to to yield and
step out in faith. If you came down for the healing
line, pastor Marcus, you can come up like explain this now
hook up with me so I can explain to you what we're doing.
This is so critical in your healing.
It's so critical in your life and everything that you're
doing, you've got to be able to yield and take a step of faith
and rejoice and bless the Lord. So when You left out of here.
This is what I want. I want when you left out of
here, you had a moment when you left where you either said I got
it or I didn't you had a moment where things started hittin you,
the fiery Dart started hitting you and you had a moment where
you said, maybe I didn't get it. Maybe that didn't work, you have
got to learn like a child to start rejoicing in whatever
trial that comes Rejoice Brethren when You Face Trials of
many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith
develops perseverance and perseverance must finish its
work so that you're mature so that your complete not lacking
anything, you have to step. Out in faith and rejoice.
You have to have, make sure that you've got peace and joy in the
Holy Ghost. Remember when he healed that
woman? He said, woman be healed.
Now go in peace, Go In Peace. So what I want you to do is I
want you to examine your heart and go.
Did I or have I or a my doubting?
Am I going? Maybe I didn't get it.
Did I leave out of here and go? Maybe I don't have it.
Am I dealing with Any other kind of struggle, financially,
mentally, physically, in any kind of way, what do you need to
do? Do you need to just sit there
and just here, or do you need to step out in faith?
Some of us, need to take a step of faith that we've not taken
before. Because sometimes we get too
comfortable and we sit in the same spots we are creatures of
habit. We sit in the same spot, we do
the same things. We don't want to get out of our
comfort zone. but I'm telling you tonight, if you want to know
that you're in faith, you should have peace and joy in believing
So if we laid hands on you last week and you walked out of here
with one single moment of going, maybe I didn't get it, then you
better do something different, you better get out of your seat
and go. I got it.
I'm the healed of the Lord. Thank you.
Father. God, you meet every single one
of my needs thank you. Lord, that I'm free.
Indeed in every kind of way whatever it is.
You better move, you better move my face.
This is not something that we're trying to.
Just stir up for no reason. I'm trying to teach you how to
be like a child. I'm trying to teach you how to
get out of your comfort zone and go, I got this.
