So turn over to Second Timothy chapter 2, verses 11 to 13.
Say not denied. Come on, say not denied.
We're going to talk about the word of the king today.
Second Timothy 211 to 13 says this and there's a lot we can
mine out just in this verse. I'm going to focus on the 13th
verse, but it says it is a trustworthy statement for if we
died with him, we will also live with him.
Verse 12. Now let me just let me back up
one minute. There's a 2 letter word in here
called if, if it's a conditional statement, all right, that means
you must meet the condition in order for the latter to happen.
So when it says if that's a condition and that condition is
predicated on us. So if we died with him, then
what's the result? We will also live with him.
But if you've not died with him, then you're not living with him.
Verse 12, if we endure. So endurance is necessary.
That tells us that just asking Jesus to be Lord of our lives,
or as it's typically portrayed, to come into our heart and save
us is not an enduring event. That is a one time confession.
So something else takes place once you're born again, there's
an endurance you must endure. So if we endure, then what will
take place? We will also reign with Him,
which tells us you can die with Him and live but not reign.
In order to reign in life, you're going to have to endure.
I'm going to say that again. In order to reign in this life,
you must endure. Unfortunately, most people are
dying with Him, acknowledging their sin state that they need a
Savior and they confess Jesus as Lord so that they come alive,
but yet they do not endure in this earth with the Word in
order for the word to reign with them in this life.
We always see this as a future, but you understand, you can
reign now, all right. It says if condition we deny
Him, He also will deny us. So if we don't deny Him, then
guess what? He's not going to deny us.
If we do not deny Him, He is not going to deny us.
Now, most of the time, this particular passage of Scripture,
this one statement is set solely with the lost, that if the lost
deny him, he'll deny. But it's not just in the lost
because a believer can deny him. And I'm going to show you why
here in a minute, because we have taken Jesus and only placed
him in one late, one particular category.
Although his name is Jesus, he is something else prior to the
name Jesus. Jesus is his name because God
had to send His Son in the form of a man to regain the dominion
that Adam lost. Yet he's always been a son and
he also serves another purpose within the Godhead, that if you
deny that it will be denied you. Y'all right?
I know I'm speaking a little, you know, in mystery, but it'll
be revealed here in a second verse 13.
If we are faith less, if we are faith, He remains what?
Faithful. Why?
For he cannot deny himself, He cannot deny himself.
I said he cannot deny himself, he cannot deny himself.
So if we are faithless, he remains faithful.
Now, a lot of times this particular Scripture is kind of
kicked off in this type of interpretation.
I'm probably going to question that a little bit, But it says,
you know, if we are faithless, like if we aren't believing God,
God will still be faithful and do it for us to spite us.
So at this point, then why even live by faith?
Why is there a requirement to live by faith?
Because he'll do it anyway, whether we're in faith or not,
based upon our lives. Well, you know, if God, because
this is where sovereignty kicks in, in air.
Well, God's sovereign, he's going to do what he wants to do,
how he wants to do it. And so you understand, whether
you believe or not, God's going to do it for you anyway.
So even if we're faithless, God's faithful to do it for you
anyway. And you'll get the result of it,
period. But that's not what that
Scripture means. I said it's not what it means.
And so let's look at a couple of the translations of 13 before we
break this verse down. The Young's little translation
says it this way. If we are not steadfast, he
remains steadfast to deny himself.
He is not able to deny himself. He is what He's not able.
He cannot deny himself. The word cannot means this.
No power or ability to be unable or incapable of.
So we are finding one of the things God cannot do.
Oh wow, I thought I'd have had a better response here.
OK, I expect that on YouTube this is one of the things God
cannot do. See this is the problem with the
the air of sovereignty is that we don't understand sovereignty
from a Kingdom perspective. We only understand sovereignty
from a religious perspective. Religion teaches us sovereignty
is God's in control of everything.
This is why so many people stay lost because they are perplexed
how in the world if he is a God of love and he's sovereign and
in control of everything, why is there raping, murdering and all
these things? Because now we have associated
that God is controlling those things.
And that's not true. God is not controlling, nor is
he allowing. There is an enemy that does
these things, and because men are separated from God, this is
the result of their behavior and their actions that are contrary
to the behavior and nature of God.
God is not controlling that, nor is He authorizing that, nor is
He condoning that, nor is He in control of that.
So religious sovereignty has it where God is controlling
everything. This is why Christians take up
this banter that, you know, well, you know, whatever God
wants to do, it'll do because you know, he's sovereign.
Well, why pray you understand some of these thinkings?
Because we have lost critical thinking.
We have really. And when we say critical
thinking, that's really a word, word term.
Let me give you a biblical term. Because we quit seeking first
the Kingdom and His righteousness.
See, when you begin to seek God, you can't help but ask questions
and say, now Lord, do you mean that?
What does this mean? And you're not questioning God.
You are seeking God and His way of doing, processing and
thinking. His ways are higher than our
ways. His thoughts are higher than our
thoughts, but they're not unobtainable.
They can be found. God wants us to seek Him to be
found. He wants us to not so He can
open. He wants us to ask so He can
give, so we can receive, not so that He can keep dangling A
revelation that you can never come to a truth.
God is not withholding truth. He is revealing truth to the
seeker. Because God does not violate His
own word, He would never cast His pearls before the swan.
God is not casting revelation to you for you to chew it up and
eat it for your own personal pleasures.
All right, Amen. This is really a great good
stuff we're talking here. So he cannot.
God does not have this power. This is one of the things God
cannot do. The next word is deny.
Deny means to contradict, to reject, to abnegate, to refuse.
So God has no ability to reject himself.
God is powerless to refuse himself.
So Jameson Fawcett Brown biblical scholars and their
commentary said this. Three things are impossible to
God, and I don't think you're going to disagree with this.
Number one, it's impossible for God to die.
God cannot die, Amen. He's eternal.
He's not going to die. He cannot be separated from
himself #2HE cannot lie, can't do it.
And the last thing is he cannot be deceived.
God cannot be deceived. We have been deceived.
We have walked in a life of deception, but God has never
been deceived, and I don't know why.
Why the lost think they can deceive God?
Nor do I understand why a born again believer thinks they can
deceive God as well. God knows it all.
He knows the heart. He knows the secrets of man.
There is nothing that's hidden, but he cannot be deceived.
You can pray the most eloquent prayer and be over and praying
in the Spirit all the while. God knows what's going on in
your heart. You can say the most eloquent
scriptural things and God can say I would love to do for you.
However, I need you to do this. There are many scriptures that
talk about how prayers are hindered, yet we think just
because we pray God's obligated to answer.
Yet the Bible has a lot to say about God not listening.
But we've a lot of us have been religiously taught that if we
say any prayer, God is listening.
Yet there are many accounts where God doesn't hear the
prayers and does not answer them.
And This is why corporate prayer services are as small as they
are because we have a religious sovereignty mentality that then
we take into our prayer life with God and when the answer
doesn't come, we humanize the Lord.
I'm hoping this week is going to allow me to launch into God is
not a man. They go on to say the
impossibility is not one of infirmity, but of infinite power
and majesty. Also indirectly, comfort is
suggested to the believer that he is faithful to his promise to
them. At the same time that apostates
are shaken out of their self deceiving fancy fancy that
because they change, this is their thinking.
Christ similarly may change, but he warns Timothy to be steadfast
in faith. In essence he's saying God is
not the change we are. God is not wishy washy with his
words. We are because John come on 1/1
we call him Jesus. But long before he was given the
human name Jesus, Jesus in Spanish John 11 says in the
beginning was the was the what was the word and the word was
with God and the word was God verse 14 and the word became
what's his name? Come on, what's his name?
So before he was given the name Jesus through the Virgin Mary
who was married to Joseph the Son of God is known as the word.
This is why he cannot deny himself, because God cannot deny
a word he has spoken. It is impossible for God to
refuse his own word. It is impossible for God to say
a word and then say, oh not you know what?
I'm not going to keep that. It's impossible.
God keeps his word. I said God keeps his word.
God never fails to keep His word.
Look what it says here in Isaiah 4610 to 11.
It says declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient
times things which have not been done.
Saying My purpose will be established and I will
accomplish all my good pleasure. Calling a bird of prey from the
East, the man of my purpose from a far country.
Truly I have what spoken. Truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it. Surely I'll do it now.
This scripture does not mean that what he intends for you,
you will do. What it does mean is God did his
part so that you are at. You have no excuse not to do
your part. You're without excuse not to do
your part. Again, if we can't continue to
keep this religious mindset of sovereignty that God's in
control, do whatever he wants to do, then it would be very
difficult for us to be able to believe that anyone could be
cast into the lake of fire. However they will be.
So the Bible's very clear. There is a God side, but there
is also His creation side and of His creation side that has been
given free will. They have the responsibility to
yield and submit their will to the One who cannot lie, to the
one that is life. Are you hearing me now?
We know that there's an at some point the angelic realm rebelled
against that word, and God did not deny himself, meaning what
He said would occur. If someone goes against His
word, the action would happen. And we do not have the back
story of that whole thing. We just know rebellion happened,
that this one anointed cherub convinced others that we're
going to take over the throne, we're going to overthrow the
Creator. However, the Creator has spoken
and he cannot be overthrown. Man, I should get you.
Like just running. I mean that one statement of law
should make a Pentecostal church shout that King Jesus King the
Father can never ever be overthrown.
Wow, never overthrown and what God says He does so when He
creates the heavens and the earth and then we get over into
this earth, He's created in a way so that he places a man in
his likeness in his image to have the dominion on the earth
as he has in heaven. He speaks it into existence.
He said let us make man in our image according to our likeness
and let them rule, have dominion like we do here in heaven.
He'll have on earth. I'm authorizing him to function
that way as long as he is hearing my words and obeying
them. And he said, this Son, you can
eat from any tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil you shall. Now this lets us know that God's
Word reigns supreme in every part of His creation.
Although He gave Him rule, man, rulership to administrate,
dominion or rule on the earth, it was still at the
authorization of God the Father who resided in heaven.
Adam as a ruler could not just eat any tree he wants to.
He's eating what has been authorized from heaven's will.
This is why Jesus said, Now when you pray, pray this way, our
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your
Kingdom, your will be on as it is.
Earth's Kingdom cannot reflect heaven's Kingdom without the
will of heaven. That's right.
So Adam cannot function or have heaven's will or God's Kingdom
in the earth unless he has the will of heaven, because the will
of heaven is the will of the king.
And as the will of the king is, so goes the Kingdom.
That's right. So he says, Son, you can eat
from any tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil you shall not eat, for the day you eat you will.
Surely. I have spoken.
I have spoken now is it, is it God's will that man would die?
No, God didn't say let us make man in our image according to
our likeness. Let them rule Adam.
You can eat from any tree of the garden, but if the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, I will for some of you to die.
No, don't eat it. And again, we've said this
before, if Adam is created out of the love of God and is of the
nature of God. Adam had to do more than just
say I love you. His love is demonstrated through
his obedience and he obeyed. As long as he obeys, there's a
connection. But the minute he disobeys, now
what did the enemy do? He came in and says, what has
God said? Because he knows this.
He knows this better than Adam and Eve.
He cannot deny himself. He will not deny his word.
What he has said, what he has spoken, he'll bring.
It'll come to pass. So he says, what does he said?
She recounts it. And then he says you're not
going to die. There's the deception, there's
the lie. Now a lying and deception are
hand in hand. In order for you to be deceived,
you have or to walk in deception, you have to accept a
lie. And there are many believers
that are born again that live under deception because they
accept lies. They're hand in hand.
I said they're hand in hand. They're hand in hand.
The men, you accept a lie, you're going to walk over in
deception. So he he gives them a deceptive
plan. That sounds better, but this
root is just a lie. And why is a lie?
Because he now has truth. Truth is do not do this or this
will occur. And he says God's not going to
do what he said he would do. God will not do what he says he
will do. Now if this is how we in our
modern day Christianity are living a relationship with the
Lord, we're in trouble and we hear it all the time.
Well, you know, the Lord may heal you, but he may not.
Now that's not coming from heaven, you know, because sister
so and so, aunt such and such, you know, Uncle so and so, my
Mama, love God and believe. But she received something
contrary to what God said. And now God isn't who he says he
is. God is who you say he is.
So when God in the beginning said let's make man in our
image, He is obligated to not to deny that opportunity.
Even after Adam eats the fruit. And all now are subject to
eternal separation, for all have sinned and fallen short of the
glory of God. Even if the Lord knew no one
will ever receive the forgiveness I have given them
through my Son Jesus, I still must send him because I cannot
deny my word concerning that opportunity.
Hallelujah. Now talking about love, God so
passionate to see his word fulfilled by every T cross and
every I dotted that he is willing to send himself before
he even speaks man into existence because he said the
lamb was slain before the foundations of the world.
So he already knows Adam's going to eat.
Keeping a tree out doesn't save men.
That's right. Come on.
This is why, because God's life, when it's all said and done
everything we'll know I keep my word.
Now the problem with today's religion is that when you say
keep the word, they think of legalism, you know, and works
and all that kind of stuff. Well that's just religious
garbage that we've been taught. The reality is it's always about
your free will acknowledgement, but that's not without something
you're doing yourself, meaning you're involved in the process.
I don't earn God, I receive him based upon his instruction.
So when I do what God says, He can't deny me because He cannot
deny Himself. This is why I can boldly go
before the throne of grace and have confidence when approaching
Him, knowing that if I ask anything according to His will,
He hears me because He always hears His own word.
So He's not doing for me based upon me, He's doing for me based
upon what He said about me. And why am I arguing with the
father saying I don't deserve to be who you say I am?
He's like, that's not the issue, I said.
And I just cannot deny myself, can't do it.
This is what I desire is to have man in my image according to my
likeness, to have dominion, to rule and reign with me.
And that's what I want. Say it about you, but if you'll
meet it, if you'll do what I say, if you'll get up in faith,
if you'll believe me at my word, if you'll recognize that I
always keep my word. So by faith you're really just
receiving all that He has already accomplished.
Wow. And He never fails to keep His
word. Hebrews 617 and 18 says this in
the same way. God desiring more, even more, to
show to the heirs of the promise of the unchangeableness of His
purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two
unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we
who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take
hold of the hopes set before us. Man, Hallelujah, thank you
Jesus, Hallelujah, God is unchangeable.
Now I know there are passages in Scripture, and again, the
religious mind runs through those to try to justify things
that that happen because we, for whatever reason, do not want a
person to feel bad because they're not firmly persuaded of
His word. And so we act like God to
change, and then we'll invoke Scripture like, well, the Lord
went to Hezekiah the king through the prophet and says,
get your house in order, you're going to die, right?
What did Hezekiah do? Hezekiah then as a king took and
threw out stuff all over the bed.
The word that God has spoken concerning things, His own word
is what he did and he began to entreat the Lord based upon
legislative amendments. I'm going to use it that term
because when God, because Hezekiah is in the law of Moses
and the law of Moses reads like this.
Just read Deuteronomy if that's how it reads.
If you obey me, if you'll do this, that and the other, I'll
do all these things. Then it drops down and says, but
if you don't, then all these things are incur will occur.
But then he goes on. He has writings like this.
If my people rebel against me, yet at some point turn, repent,
cry out to me with their heart out here and I'll I'll invoke an
amendment. There's another.
I'll pull them off that path and put them on another path.
They will determine which path will develop in their lives.
Now here's the thing. God plays pays the price for
both paths. I just want you to know that God
has paid the path of death because Jesus took on our sin.
He died for us. He took on our transgressions.
So everything ever wrong ever done, every wrong thing King
Hezekiah ever did that required the payment of death, Jesus is
going to pay the price. It's not going away.
It's not under a rug. It's going to be paid for and
that word concerning it has to be met.
Jesus met that because God cannot deny that word, cannot
deny it. So he'll make the payment and
it's the blood of Jesus, glory to God.
So during that dispensation, you could come off that line and be
back on a line of blessing. But he also said, if you're
blessed, but then you go away from me, you begin to worship
the gods of the land and you begin to forget, then it drops
down. So you understand in the nation
of Israel, they were like up and down on this.
Now God's long-suffering as well.
But that doesn't mean, because eventually we know when Jeremiah
shows up, he says nobody's going to repent, Tell them they should
repent, but no one's going to. And they're going to Babylon,
period. The rest of these prophets that
are saying they're not going to be, it's going to be OK.
They're a bunch of liars. They're listening to deceiving
spirits. They are going, they are going
to be conquered. Did they get conquered?
But didn't God say they would be conquered if they kept those
actions absent? Because God always keeps his
word. So when Hezekiah threw out his
appeal, he invoked God's word of what I will do to one who will
repent. But here's the thing, God
actually did not change his mind concerning Hezekiah.
He just delayed. When he would leave, he said,
I'll give you 15 more years. OK, Same thing.
Moses Lord, I know you want to kill everybody out here because
they're stubborn, stiff neck. They saw all the miracles you
did in Egypt. My gosh.
And here we are in the wilderness there wine bag
complaining. I understand this is horrible.
I just move out of the way. I'll start a whole nother nation
with you no problem. And why does he know this?
Because he knows the end from the beginning.
He already knows their heart and He's righteous and He's already
displayed His goodness to them by delivering out of a whole
name. They have had enough evidence to
act this way is punishable. But Moses throws up this
thought. It's really ain't about them.
It's about these other nations. Because we sure don't want the
testimony that you brought them out just to kill them.
Well, now obviously the Lord wouldn't want that testimony
either, right? Because what testimony he is
leaving with those nations. And we know there's a testimony
because Rahab the harlot knew to testimony 40 years later.
We have been afraid of you because we know what you, what
your God did in Egypt. So the Lord didn't change his
mind. The Lord delayed or says I'll do
what I said. I'll just take 40 years
according to your request instead of ending it now.
Now Moses looking back may have thought probably should let him
do that. Now you say why that?
Because that congregation for 40 years was such a thorn in his
flesh that one day God said go speak to the rock.
And Moses was so just like I am fed up with them man, that what
once worked as a word of the Lord hit the rock and it
remained blessed. He hit the rock twice.
Water still flowed, but it was against God's word and it cost
him the promised land. And let me tell you, God keeps
what he says because Moses begged him and he shows him the
whole land on a mountain one day and he says, see this, this is
where they're going. I'm giving you permission to
see, he said, but don't you ever talk to me again about going in.
I'm not changing my mind. You dishonored me and did not
treat me wholly in front of the congregation.
But what we do now in grace is we let God be a mind changer.
Because of the grace of God, we act like God could say one thing
to us. And believers do it all the
time. The Lord called me to this
church. Well, then he calls you out of
the church. I mean, six months later.
Wow, that's interesting. Wow, right.
I mean, there's all kinds of things, you know, you believe
God till the first trial comes. So I love what Pastor Darryl
Huffman says. He said when I made Jesus Lord,
it was for life forever, forever.
The first offense, the first issue, the first conflict, the
first run in with someone, the first time you get corrected by
your spiritual overseers. I can't tell you how many people
have come up to me through the years and talk about how
anointed the services are only to blast me on Instagram, you
know, years later, this craziest thing you've ever seen in your
life. Why?
Because they say they're hearing from God, yet they're acting
like God could change his mind concerning things all the time.
God is not that God. First of all, God is not bipolar
because God is not a man. He's not bipolar.
Yeah, it's a T-shirt. Yeah, my King's not bipolar.
He does what he says. Hallelujah.
You understand.
You have to let this get seared in your mind, because when you
have the firm persuasion, my God will do what he says, you
understand, Then nothing will ever take you off your faith.
Nothing. No one can pull you from your
purpose. No one can stop you from your
destiny because you know what God has said concerning me and
His church is going to come to pass Hallelujah.
Titus 1-2 says this in the hope of eternal life, which God, who
cannot lie, promised long ago. Here's 2 scriptures that led us.
So he doesn't lie. So he doesn't lie.
If he says you're healed, if he says you're, you're, you have
favor. If he says you prosper.
I mean, if he says that you can have the mind of Christ, and I'm
just throwing out general out of general, yes, general statements
right now. If he says that the fruits of
the Spirit are in you, then you can't tell me that your family
has a long line of having a short temper, 'cause my family
does not. That's the problem.
You keep associating yourself with a natural family and then
you put it on a God that's supernatural and you try to make
him natural, but God's not a man.
God raise you up out of just the natural.
He says you got a new bloodline and your Father in heaven has
never lost his temper unrighteously.
Your Father in heaven has never had in his DNA cancer.
He's never had depression. I, I mean, I'm blown away at
believers talking about their depression and their anxiety
while you're doing this, identifying with your flesh.
God has stripped it, whipped it, taking it off.
He has pulled it away. He said, I've conquered it.
I've conquered a grave, I've conquered death, hell in the
grave. I've conquered sin, I've
conquered depression, anxiety. Why are you letting it on you?
Why would you let it on you, 'cause God said the joy of the
Lord is your stream. That's joy every morning, every
morning. Don't live another day
depressed. You don't have to 'cause when
you know that God can't lie concerning that, all you have to
do is believe you didn't earn the joy.
He paid the price. So you could have the joy just
by faith you but you have to receive it by faith.
You have to exercise it. You have to say, no, I'm not
going to be depressed today. No, I'm going to rejoice in the
Lord. I mean, what did Paul say?
Rejoice in the Lord. And again, I say always rejoice.
Hallelujah. But what is the modern day
church doing? The modern day church is, yeah.
But the truth is, I know people are going through things and we
don't want to see. You're supposed to raise them up
to the culture of the Kingdom, not try to bring God down to
identify with them. Jesus did not come to identify
with you. Jesus has been tempted on
accounts like you so he can sympathize with your weaknesses,
but the only reason he came that way is because Adam lost the
dominion as a man so it requires man to get it back and God did
it through Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah Jesus. I never heard Jesus say to his
disciples. I'm really depressed right now.
Now, that doesn't mean he wasn't weighed down.
He said. He was tempted on all accounts.
He was tempted to have anxiety. He was tempted to have fear.
He was tempted to be depressed. He was tempted to worry.
But he didn't. He cast it down.
He obeyed his father. He stayed in the nature of God.
Although he lived in a skin suit, he overcame.
And you know what we're called? We're called.
Oh, they're preaching that little God.
Your bet we are. We are sons of.
Yeah, I'm a child of. I was created by.
Yeah, I'm not God, but I am his child.
I do have his nature and his nature's are overcoming,
conquering. And my God said that I would
conquer. He said that I was more than a
conqueror. He said that I would triumph in
all things. God said that about me.
And by the grace of God, I'm going to conquer and win.
I'm not a loser. No more else.
Yeah, no more else. We ain't taking no else in this
house. Yeah, we ain't taking no else in
this house, people. No way.
God never said, you loser,
aren't you glad? You just in the house, you
maggot of a man. Now he said, son, you have no
idea what it was that I ordained you for.
Get up out of that dark mess and get over here in the Kingdom.
I'll show you your work. I'll show you your power.
I'll show you who you are as a child of God.
Whoa. Glory to God.
Yeah, see, This is why we stand up and shout because that's like
getting a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
And when in a game you can't stay, as you see, when you know
who you are and you know the victory that he has gotten for
you, My goodness, Hallelujah. And let me give you a speed
round and we'll close First Samuel chapter 15, verse 29 just
to concrete the thoughts. And also the glory of Israel
will not lie nor repent, for he is not a man that he should
repent. The glory of Israel is God.
He will not lie nor repent. He doesn't have to change his
thinking because He thought before He spoke, because when he
speaks it comes to pass. Numbers 2319 says God is not a
man. Are we going to preach this
soon? I hope Sunday God is not a man
that he shall lie nor the Son of man that he should repent.
Has he said and will he not do it?
That is a rhetorical question. That is not like, yeah, I don't
know if he will. That's that's a rhetorical
question. It is absolutely he will do what
he said or has he spoken and will he not make it good?
The problem is, is that we are speaking things God's saying
without God's saying and and you cannot speak on behalf of God
and be outside of His word because God's will is His word.
You cannot listen to modern day Christian music and some of the
modern day praise songs. You cannot listen to it and it
and and and recite it and expect God to move because God's in
some instances aren't moving at all.
You have to be in the word. All right, speed round.
I said, let's go to the next one.
Want to get you out of here. Isaiah 40 and verse 8.
The grass Withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God
what for the word of our God, what man?
I'm trying to get this in your spirit because in the last days
were great deceptions coming in the last days where the the love
of many will wax cold that people will fall away from the
faith. Why?
Because they are actually not really believing that God does
what he says. They know he can.
Knowing he can do something is not firmly persuaded He will
only do what he says because the many of you are saying well God
can. You are setting it on a
condition and thinking it's not. It may not be applicable to you.
Healing is applicable to everyone, definitely the
believer, because even the laws can get access to it through
mercy so that God can show his compassion and to draw them, but
they cannot have it habitually. But a believer can walk in it.
Now you just can't slingshot and go up in there and grab
scripture and begin to not meditate on it and say, I'm
going to use this one. You got to say now, Lord, what
is it that I because if you'll go to the Lord, Lord, I know
your scripture says this and I know it says this and I know I
can be healed and I know that the healing God is mine and it's
mine now and it's for me today and it's what I need to have.
And it's this, that and the other.
And you keep saying it and then you're saying, is there anything
I need to do so that these things are alive and come to
pass? And the end results is what you
say. And the Lord may say, change
this in your diet, quit drinking this, let go of that.
There could be a multiplicity of things that God could say in
your hearing that the minute you act on it, then you receive it.
For some, the reason why they do not have healing is because they
have unforgiveness. And you can go read all the diet
books you want to and quote all the healing scriptures you want
to. But the Lord knows your heart
and he's not deceiving. He says you got unforgiveness.
You need to go ask Him to forgive you.
If you don't do that, healing won't be yours because you're
not doing the word of the King. It's a hindrance.
He knows what hinders His word. Unbelief, ignorance, and your
failure to act on another word to release a word.
Are you hearing me? Last scripture Is this, Luke
2133, Heaven and earth. Now that doesn't mean it will
cease to exist. That means the sin that's
contained within the 1st and 2nd heavens and the earth, that'll
pass away because we'll have new heavens and a new earth.
But my words will not pass away. His word concerning the church
will not pass away, and His word concerning you will not pass
away, and His word concerning you individually is for the
church. It's for the church, Hallelujah.
So he cannot deny himself. Every time I go to Scripture, I
said, now Lord, you have to do what you said.
You said you're making a demand on God.
I'm making a demand on his word because he tells me to do so.
And it pleases our Father that you come and bring his word back
to him. It pleases him.
He's like, that's it right there.
Now you talk in my language. Now you talk in my life.
Now you talk in my nature. Now you talking how we supposed
to function. That's right, that's right,
that's right, that's right. And then he says, let it be
according to your faith, Let it be according to your faith.
And all of a sudden that which once bound you was loose from
you, free from you, and you're walking in the fullness of God.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. He will always keep His word
concerning you and the Church.
