All right, all right, all right, okay, so some testimonies, Okay, testimonies.
-
Yesterday Shiloh gob had a eight thousand pound vehicle fall. Uh.
-
He was underneath it and it fell off of the
-
jack stands or whatever and hit him in the head.
-
So we got a notification quickly from the elders. You know, Uh,
-
this is in North Idaho, you know, Shiloh and Megan, Megan,
-
Joe and Sandy's daughter and uh so uh he scrambled
-
kind of underneath uh, but then he uh went unconscious
-
and had a seizure, and so they called and they
-
had him, uh helicopter transported to so can Or to
-
a hospital there. And so a bunch of us started praying,
-
and we're praying and declaring the restoration of the Lord
-
over him. You ever get challenged when you're praying because
-
we're getting the report, you know, like text message. Sandy
-
and Jeri are giving us this text message and like,
-
you know, all this trauma, and you know, I want
-
to call him restored. And then you know, the enemy's like, yeah,
-
but his head's bashed in. How's he going to be restored?
-
You know kind of a thing.
-
It's like, but you don't really know what's going on.
-
You just you know, you're just all of us are
-
just you know, shouting over the airwaves that God's mercy
-
prevails over him and that he'll be restored and nothing
-
will be lost.
-
Right.
-
So they get him to the hospital and he goes
-
through full examination and he's okay, he's completely okay. They
-
can't find anything wrong, and he's released. Come on, somebody,
-
we got a church member. Their daughter has been in
-
the hospital three or four weeks something like that, Michael,
-
how long? Four weeks, three weeks, five weeks been in
-
the hospital. They sent her lung shut down like a
-
terrible infection. They've had her on up to three East
-
CMO machines. She's been intbated, she's been just living on machines.
-
And so a bunch of us have been going up there,
-
Michael included. Emily's been up there. Some of the prayer
-
team been up there, commanding health to come, commanding her
-
to be restored, breaking death off of her, declaring the
-
mercies of God over her, breaking the plans of the
-
enemy to destroy her off of her. And like four
-
or five days ago, she woke up, she woke up.
-
She woke up.
-
Remember when Jesus cursed the fig tree. When he cursed
-
the fig tree, it says it dried up from the roots.
-
In other words, when we're praying and declaring things, stuff's
-
happening in the spirit realm that we can't see, and
-
then stuff's happening in the physic grail we can't see.
-
But it's happening. Nonetheless, whether you can see it or not,
-
it's happening. And so that's why you've got to be
-
so steady in your faith. Like you cannot transgress with
-
your faith. You've got to keep a steady mind and
-
don't take another thought, don't listen to another thought. So
-
like four or five days ago, she wokes up, woke up,
-
and then next thing, you know, like they're pulling her
-
off the machines and she does some physical therapy and
-
then they're turning off these ecy emotions. I mean, when
-
when you know jewels in are in, you know Pastor
-
Joel's and are in. So she's in the bactory giving
-
a resuscitation to a child right now. But anyway, so
-
when she when she hears this report, she's like ecmo machines,
-
Like she worked in the hospital for years. She knows
-
what this is all about. She's like, oh my word,
-
this is like terrible. But with God, all things are possible.
-
With God, all things are possible. With God, all things
-
are possible.
-
You know.
-
Then she heard, oh, it's not one ECMO machine, it's two,
-
you know. Then she said it's three, and she's in debated.
-
This woman's going to die. She's been kept alive by machines.
-
But with God, all things are possible.
-
Just telling you.
-
So the prison team, Frank Nangel and the prison team,
-
they've been going down. So they were ministering to a
-
guy with an incurable skin disease, and the guy was
-
completely healed. His skin's cleared up. He came back. He's
-
shown him in his skin. He's like, his skin is
-
completely healed. I told you about Vonnie Diddy. Bonnie's been
-
in the church for years. I told you about Vonnie Diddy.
-
She was teasing me about ears last week and we
-
were conversing about coming down with healings and she said, yeah,
-
you know, when I was ten years old. This is
-
Ronnie Diddy, ten years old. She had been death since
-
she was five, deaths since she was five. She was
-
ten years old, but a minister who believed in the
-
healing said, let me pray for you. He put his
-
fingers in her ears. Now, generally you don't want to
-
do that unless you got a leading from the Holy Spirit.
-
There could be earwax in there. You don't know what
-
you're going to run into. There could be bugs in
-
their ear. Wigs live in those things, you know. But
-
he put his fingers in here, and then he commanded
-
healing to come right, and she said she felt immediately.
-
She was ten years old. She remembers it vividly to
-
this day. She said she immediately felt heat in her feet,
-
and the heat started coming up her body. And as
-
the heat came up, when the heat hit her head,
-
there was a pop in her ears. And her ears
-
were restored. And she turned eighty one two weeks ago.
-
She was here for service.
-
She's had perfect hearing for seventy one years. But if
-
somebody wouldn't have believed that God still heals, she would
-
have lived eighty one years death. And then I got
-
these this morning. I got two this morning. So we've
-
got a testimony this morning of a woman who hurt
-
her knee and she had been in serious pain. She
-
called all the churches in the area, and she called
-
and they wouldn't even answer their phones. Then she called
-
New Horizon and rox Sanna picked up the phone in
-
the office. How many of you think churches should answer
-
their phone.
-
We're on the web right now.
-
Churches of Pierce County answer the phone. Roxannah answered the phone,
-
and so she prayed for her and immediately her knee
-
felt better. Then Deborah Morris from the prayer team reached
-
out and prayed for her again, and her knee was
-
completely healed. She's now testifying about her knee being completely healed.
-
And then we're gonna read Mark chapter five in a moment.
-
But another woman with minstrel complications. Uh, and the doctors
-
couldn't help. Told someone at Knew Horizon about her situation.
-
They prayed for her, and now she is completely made well,
-
completely home. How many do you think that's good? We're
-
here to tell you that the Lord still heals. Now
-
I am going to uh, this is my whiteboard today
-
and so I'm going to be activating something different. Watch watch, watch,
-
watch the magic. I'm going to steal this away from
-
Johnny and Johnny is at you. I'm gonna steal huh
-
is that Derek? Derek thatsinnarik. I'm going to steal this
-
away from Derek right now, and I'm going to Okay,
-
but but nonetheless, he's steal the boss. Derek is the boss.
-
He's going to steal it back whenever he wants to
-
steal it back. If you want to try it, hy
-
dare you see there? Okay, so he's steal the boss.
-
But nonetheless we're going to try that. But I want
-
you to mark chapter five real quick. Go to mark
-
chapter five with me, and I want to read with
-
you this story because we're going to talk about activating
-
the promises this morning, and I want to just tune
-
in on a couple of things that are super important
-
about activating the promises of God. How may you know
-
that there's a myriad of promises. There's a myriad of promises. Now,
-
maybe before we go there, we should read let's go
-
to second Corinthens one twenty. There's a myriad of promises.
-
So the promise of salvation is just the promised to
-
get you into the kingdom, to get you in through
-
the door. And we learned a couple of weeks ago
-
from Frank. We learned that the door that Jesus is
-
the door, and the door you're going into is the
-
door of Eden. And he broke out the word Eden
-
in the Hebrew, and it's actually the word Eden is
-
the door. Then we learned out of John ten, verse ten.
-
I've come to give you abundant life, life more abundantly.
-
He said that all have come before me, they've been
-
thieves and robbers.
-
I am the door.
-
I'm the door, and if you come in through him,
-
you can go in and out into the glories of
-
heaven and find safe pasture. So he said, others have
-
been thief and robbers. These are robbers. So in other words,
-
utters lay on you burdens and bondages. But I'm the
-
true door to the sheep. I'm the true door, and
-
if you come in through me, you can hold of heaven.
-
You can go into the realm of heaven, and you
-
can come and bring heaven here. Because he's the true door,
-
and the door is the door to Eden. The door
-
is the door to garden. We're being restored to heaven on,
-
thank you very much. We're being restored to heaven on. Okay,
-
So this is this is what we're doing, right, and
-
so the access of heaven is really it's it's it's
-
understanding the like the riches, the it's like he's he's
-
filled Fort Knox with the gold of the promises of God.
-
And the Bible is replete with promises all the way
-
from Genesis to Revelation. There's this host of these crazy promises.
-
Second Peter Chapter one, Second Peter Chapter one. I've got
-
you already confused. Second Peter Chapter one. We won't go there.
-
We're going to go to Second Corinthians one twenty. But
-
Second Peter Chapter one says that this is how bear
-
with me, bear with me, rabbit trails everywhere. Second Peter
-
Chapter one says, this is how we actually partake of
-
the divine nature. Any any divine nature partakers in the
-
building this morning. We are partakers of the divine nature. Now,
-
the level, the level, Oh I'm gonna steal, I'm gonna steal.
-
I feel a steal coming. The level to which we partake.
-
Some of you are like level ten partakers, some of
-
you are level five partakers, some of you are level
-
one partakers.
-
The level that.
-
We partake of the divine nature is dependent on the
-
level to which we lay hold of the promises. Now
-
it's promises pluralle not prom us. It's promises. The first
-
is the promise of salvation. The promise to salvation brings
-
you in through the door, and then you begin to
-
run after Holy Spirit. Roman talked about it a couple
-
of weeks ago that we don't frame our world by
-
what we see circumstantially, or what we see about our humanity,
-
or what we see about our history or our past.
-
But we go up the ladder because he took us
-
to John one, and he showed us that Jesus is
-
not only the door, but he is Jacob's ladder at
-
a Genesis twenty eight, that Jesus is the ladder, that
-
it's in him we can go up. And when we
-
get in him and we find intimacy in him and
-
we pursue him, we run after him. We look at
-
him in the word, but we look at him in
-
worship and adoration. We look at him in who he is.
-
We understand that we're looking at who we've become. There
-
we look at that, and we understand that's who we've become.
-
First John four seventeen. As he is, so also are
-
we in this world John seventeen make them one with us, Father,
-
and share the glory with them, the glory that you have.
-
Share that glory with them, so that we will all
-
be one. We become one with him, and so as
-
we go up the ladder into him. That means spending
-
time with him is essential because we're trying to get
-
these downloads of the promises, the promises of God.
-
Oh did you see it back? Oh?
-
Shame, shame, shame. The promises of God are are? Yes,
-
their promises right? But a promise is ladened with seeds.
-
It's the seeds which are the word of God. So
-
these promises are filled with seeds, the word of God.
-
It what happened? What happened? What happened? I'm so new
-
with this. What happened? None of us showed up on
-
your screen? Or do you steal it back already?
-
Is it there?
-
Now? I'm failing greatly, but I cannot fail. Jesus take
-
the wheel. This is when you pray that prayer. Jesus
-
take the wheel. ANGELA help me. Quinn in doubt turned
-
to somebody smarter, Go girl, go, May God bless you
-
as you go forth. Let's go to Second Corinthians one
-
twenty four.
-
No, yeah, you were there. That was good? Yeah, I was.
-
She trying to steal it? Okay, all right? For no
-
matter how many promises God, what.
-
Do you think? What do you think?
-
Breathing heavy, breathing heavy, help us, Jesus.
-
But it's not there. It's not it's there, it's not there.
-
What it is? Am? I just not seen it? What glory?
-
There's a God in heaven helping us. Thank you. Lord.
-
Promises are actually described and understood by words. And these
-
words are actually seeds. They are the seeds of God's word.
-
God's word is seed. And so when these promises are
-
sown in you, it gives you the ability to sow
-
them into the spirit realm, to bring forth a future harvest.
-
Don't shout me down because I'm preaching good all right?
-
Are you with me? Wherever they're going? So all right,
-
steal it back? Oh, this is a great game for them.
-
The only place I can steal is in church.
-
Look at this. This is great? Oh? And in baseball
-
all right.
-
So no matter how many promises God has made, read
-
that with me. For no matter how many promises God
-
has made, they are yes.
-
And did you hear that? Did you see that? What
-
in the world.
-
So this means, this means that that Christ is the
-
end of every promise. He was the beginning, but he's
-
the end. He's the fulfillment of every promise. It's like
-
in Deuteronomy twenty eight. Deuteronomy twenty eight, they say you
-
can't claim that one. I say hogwash. Look at the
-
twenty Deuteronomy twenty eight. If you keep the word, If
-
you keep this word, then all these blessings will come
-
on you. When you'll be blessed in the city, you'll
-
be blessed in the country. You'll be blessed in your womb.
-
You'll be blessed in your needing basket. You'll be blessed
-
going out, you'll be blessed coming in. You be the
-
head and not the tail. Deuteronomy twenty eight. If you
-
keep the word, do you know anybody that kept the word?
-
Who might have kept the word? Who might have kept
-
the word? Go back to Tewo Corinthians one twenty Who
-
kept the word? Who's keeping the word? Who's never failed
-
in the word, who's obeyed every commandment? Who fulfilled the commandments?
-
On our behalf? Who are you hidden in? Who are
-
you dwelling in? Who are you saved through who are
-
you abiding in? That means if you're keeping him, you're
-
keeping the word. You're keeping him who kept the word.
-
That means that Deuteronomy twenty eight is yours. That means
-
that Deuteronomy eight is yours. That means that every promise
-
is yours, no matter how many promises, because because Him
-
who measured up, him who fulfilled him, who was the
-
law and the prophets, him who was super in every
-
way in his humanity on our behalf, he represents us
-
before the Father, and we're hidden in him. So no
-
matter how many promises they are, they are yes and Amen.
-
In Him, they are a S and Amen. In Christ,
-
they are yes and so the amen. So be it
-
is spoken by us. The amen is spoken by us.
-
The amen is spoken by us. That means, when you
-
see a promise, Amen means so be it, so be
-
it under me. Amen means that's mine. Amen means I'll
-
claim that I'll take that. All of this, all of
-
this is him him trying to bring heaven to us.
-
He's trying to bring heaven to us because him who
-
broke the back of sin hell, the curse, the demonic realm,
-
has now come to dwell in us and given us
-
his righteousness and his authority. You have the righteousness and
-
the authority of Christ, whether you feel like it, whether
-
you look like it, Come on, you have it.
-
You have it.
-
Mark five. Let's go to mark five. Mark Mark five
-
twenty five. And a certain woman which had an issue
-
of blood twelve years and had suffered many things of
-
many physicians. Now, if you had an issue of blood
-
in those days, hello, somebody, there's no hope. And so
-
she was unclean. She was unclean, wasn't supposed to leave
-
her home because she was unclean. So this is this
-
is the refuge, right, this is county dump. Dumb sight,
-
she's fit for the dump. She's the lowest of culture,
-
lowest of society. Wow, unclean, and they would assume that
-
it was spiritual. So nobody wants to touch this woman,
-
come near this woman. We don't even know how she
-
was getting food, but relatives or friends would probably you know,
-
bring some food by and leave it outside the door.
-
They don't want to touch this woman because they don't
-
know why in the world she's so unclean. She's been
-
suffering this way for twelve years. She'd spent all over
-
all that she had, and she was none better, but
-
grew worse when she heard of Jesus. Now she starts
-
hearing about Jesus. And this is not just an ordinary words.
-
She's hearing about Jesus.
-
This is like a.
-
Romans ten seventeen. Faith cometh by and ring by the
-
word of Christ. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by
-
the Word of Christ. I'm gonna steal it, Okay, now
-
I'm gonna give it right back. But i just got
-
to play and have fun. We're gonna try it. Hearing
-
and hearing Romans tin seventeen and hearing. I know I've
-
been through this before, but we're getting good at it, okay,
-
by the word of Christ, by the Word of Christ.
-
The word word there is not logos. The word is Rayma.
-
Yeah, Faith, that's beautiful.
-
I can Isn't that beautiful? That thing is so beautiful.
-
We're gonna smile at it. Go ahead, we got to
-
preach on now.
-
This is we got to ring. This is.
-
This is a preach. We got a real preach on.
-
What she heard when she was hearing about Jesus. Holy
-
Spirit was quickening what she was hearing. People are touching him,
-
people are getting near him.
-
He's healing.
-
All the sick demons are getting cast out. She didn't
-
know if she was demand demonized or what in the
-
world's going on why, And she's probably been, you know,
-
under a curse of like being cursed, she's the cursed
-
of society. She didn't know what in the world's going on.
-
She just knows she's hearing people are getting set free,
-
people are getting delivered, people are getting healed. All they
-
got to do is get around this guy. He just
-
delivers the word. This happens, that happens. They're hearing it.
-
And when she hears it, Holy Spirit, visit you took
-
it back.
-
Good jobs. Wow, you're quick, Oh Darik, give him a hand.
-
Come up.
-
She hears this stuff and it's becoming a rama to her, right,
-
it's becoming a raima to her. You'll only say what
-
becomes a rama to you. I guarantee you today, you're
-
gonna be talking out of your heart and you're gonna
-
be talking out of I'm gonna take it back. You're
-
gonna be talking out of You're gonna be talking out
-
of your heart, and you're gonna be talking out of
-
your understanding of the promises are you a ten, Are
-
you a five?
-
Are you a two?
-
You're gonna be talking out of the treasure of the
-
rama within your heart. Wherever you lack rame, you're gonna
-
be talking out of that lack. Wherever you have rame,
-
you're gonna be talking out of the revelation of that rama.
-
She couldn't have talked faith if she didn't have the
-
rama within her heart. You can't talk faith if you
-
don't have the rama within your heart. That's why it's
-
so important that you go up that ladder. That's why
-
it's so important that you go through that door.
-
That's why it's so.
-
Important you spend time with him, because the only way
-
to have rama is through time spent. Through time spent,
-
You yield yourself, You pursue him, You run after him.
-
He says, draw near to me, and I will draw
-
near to you. When you run after him, he runs
-
after you. You and then these downloads come. She got a download.
-
You can take it back. Isn't this fun?
-
All right?
-
When she heard of Jesus, she came in the press
-
behind I'm reading at the King, James. If you didn't
-
realize that, and so forgive me because it's the it's
-
the proper translation for the moment. H yeah, because the
-
inner translations they don't do it. So I looked it up.
-
I got an estword, I got an esword, got an esword,
-
I got me an esword. You can get an essord too.
-
And if you go to the East Sword, I looked
-
it up. Come on, somebody, I got smart. Smartification came
-
upon me. I looked this up in the East Sword,
-
right here. And if you look at the under translations,
-
it's not good because for because it says right here,
-
for she said.
-
Everybody says for.
-
She said, if I may touch but his clothes, I
-
shall be made well. She said something, She said something,
-
Now the NIV, some of these letters, come on, bless
-
their darling. Hurts these other translations they are going to
-
say for she thought, no, no, no, no no no.
-
She already did the thinking. She wouldn't have been risking
-
her life, leaving her home, risking prison, and risking everything
-
about her entire existence if she didn't have a raima.
-
She left her little shinty and she came out in
-
a crowd where she could be seen identified. And she's
-
pressing through that crowd, not because she doesn't have faith,
-
because she does have faith, and she's manifesting the faith.
-
She's believing in her heart.
-
She's manifesting that faith now with the declaration of her tongue.
-
And she says, if I may touch but his clothes,
-
I shall be made whole. Now I look up in
-
the Greek, and the word therefore said, this word said
-
in the Greek. It's not thought. She wasn't having a
-
happy thought. He wasn't And a happy thought could just
-
be a happy hope. Well, I hope, I hope I
-
can get to him, and I hope if I do
-
something happens for me. I mean all these other folks,
-
I mean, I hope. Now this was more than a
-
happy hope. She had a quickened raim word and she
-
was willing to risk her entire life on it. But
-
what brought the faith forward out of the word because
-
you have to have an alignment in your heart. You
-
have to conquer every contradiction in your heart. Conquer the
-
contradictions of your heart, drive them out, dismiss him, overthrow him,
-
rebuke him, do what you gotta do. You got to conquer,
-
because once the Word comes alive to you, that's the
-
potential for faith. And if you don't act on it
-
with an agreement, you can't come into the fullness of
-
what God has for you. So she was rewarded. Her
-
faith was rewarded because she acted on what became rama
-
to her heart. And then she began to confess it.
-
She began to declare it, she began to agree with it,
-
she began to release it into the spirit realm. If
-
I can touch his clothes, I shall be made whole.
-
And straightway.
-
The fountain of her blood was dried up, and she
-
felt in her body that she was healed of that plague,
-
and Jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone
-
out of him. Every time you're touching Jesus, virtue is
-
being released out of him every time you touch him
-
with faith. Every time you touch him with faith, faith
-
is responding to the rama of a quickened word in
-
your heart and then coming with declaration with agreement, Not
-
with a hope so but with a declaration and agreement.
-
The Lord's touch me right now, God's moving in me
-
right now. Sickness is going right now, disease is under
-
my feet right now, Virtue is mine right now, I'm
-
receiving the goodness of God.
-
Right now.
-
This is how we activate the promises. You can't activate
-
the promises by reading about him, staring at him, wishing
-
and hope. And so you activate a promise as it
-
becomes alive to you. You activate that promise by coming
-
into agreement with it and declaring it over your situation.
-
You declare it over your situation. This is how you
-
activate the seed of the Word of God. The seed
-
it's sown in you. Then you sow the seed. It's
-
the seed of the Word of God. The promises are
-
made up of seeds, many fold seeds. They're for healing,
-
they're for restoration. Therefore your family.
-
Come on.
-
There for your financial well being, there for your household.
-
Therefore every facet of your life. God has promises for
-
every facet of your life. Look at Psalm one O three.
-
Look at that I'm in the Psalm one O three.
-
It even says your youth will be restored. Hello, somebody,
-
any young folk in the building, Come on, come on,
-
come on these promises Psalm ninety two. In your old
-
age you will be green and you'll bear fruit Psalm
-
one that you'll prosper in season. All of these promises,
-
they are yours. They are yes and amen to those
-
who are in Christ Jesus. But you can't stare at
-
him alone, and you can't wish him into existence. You
-
have to claim them by coming into agreement with them
-
over your life. This is how you activate the promises.
-
And so look what happens. Jesus immediately, knowing in himself
-
virtue has gone out of him, he looks around in
-
the press, and he said, who touched my clothes? My garments?
-
And the disciples said to him, come on, what in
-
the world are you talking about? You see the multitude
-
wronging around you, and you say, who touched me? In
-
other words, he had been in the crowd a little while,
-
and others had touched him, and others had bumped him,
-
and others had moved him, and others had and others
-
even came by, maybe hoping for something, and others even thought,
-
you know, I wonder if something would happen. But they
-
didn't have a rama, and they didn't confess the rama.
-
So others were touching, and others were around him, But
-
there was one that made a demand on his power.
-
There's only one that in that crowd, only one made
-
a demand on his power. It's the one who's said,
-
if I can touch his garments, I shall be whole,
-
acting on the rama within and declaring the rama aloud.
-
Isn't that good? So the disciples said, you see the crowd,
-
And he looked around to see who had done this thing.
-
But the woman, hearing, fearing and trembling, knowing what was
-
done in her, came and fell down before him and
-
told him all the truth. And he said under her, daughter,
-
your hope has made you well. Daughter, your happy thoughts
-
made you well. Daughter, You are an unworthy slop. But wow, no, no, no,
-
no no. He honors her expression of faith. He honors
-
her expression of faith. He identifies for our sake, it
-
was written, by the way, this is written for our sake.
-
This is not this wasn't this was written for our sake.
-
The Bible said, there's so many miracles that took place
-
in three and a half years that all of them
-
would fill books like couldn't be contained.
-
You remember that. But there's certain stories.
-
There's the events that the Holy Spirit earmarked for our
-
benefit so that we would see something here that was transpiring.
-
He says, daughter, your faith made you well. He honors
-
her faith. He says, daughter, your faith, you acting on
-
the rama, you receive something from the Holy Spirit. It's
-
like it's like when Peter declares you are the Christ,
-
the son of the Living God. He says, oh, flesh
-
and blood didn't reveal that to you. Oh no, no, no,
-
only the Holy Spirit could have revealed that to you.
-
And yes, it's true. And on this rock I will
-
build my ecclusa. Something happened to this little daughter of God.
-
It's like when Mary got the download and Mary says, Okay,
-
I'm gonna bear that sun.
-
So be it unto me.
-
So be it as amen, So be it unto me,
-
according to your according to that rama, not logos. It
-
wasn't according to something written beforehand. According to this rama.
-
This living word is now being said over me, so.
-
Be it unto me.
-
And boom, the power of God comes upon Mary and
-
she has the ability to bring forth the Son of God. Boom,
-
the power of God comes on this little daughter who'd
-
been sick for twelve years, and suddenly her body is
-
restored and she's healed. She comes into agreement every promise
-
of God. This is how we receive every promise of God.
-
But yet his believers Listen, you're in the room today
-
as believers. The enemy does not want you to live
-
this way. The enemy does not want you talking this
-
way like you're some kind of a victorious one, like
-
you deserve something, like you're an overcomer, like you're already healed,
-
like you've received the power of God, like you already
-
can tap into the things of God. The enemy doesn't
-
want you living like that. There's gonna be arguments and
-
arguments and arguments against you that you're gonna quench, and
-
you're gonna dismiss, and then you're gonna come into agree
-
with the word of God. Let's go to Isaiah fifty
-
three and look at that real quick, Okay, Isaiah fifty three.
-
I want you to I want to just establish some
-
thoughts about healing. In Christ, God was lifting off of
-
us not only the punishment we deserve due to sin
-
and our unrighteousness imputed to us through fallen Adam, but
-
in doing so, he was giving us authority oversickness and disease.
-
It's interesting almost every single scripture in the New Testament
-
that talks about healing or the Lord healing, or Philip
-
going down to Samaria in Act chapter eight or any
-
of these passages you find over and over again, is
-
you find that synonymous with the healing was deliverance because
-
our unrighteousness, our unrighteousness gives and gave an open door
-
to the curse and to the demonic realm to bring
-
affliction against our bodies. When Jesus became a curse for
-
us Galatians three thirteen and bore our curse, then not
-
only did he pay the penalty that opened up the
-
realm of healing, but he gave us the authority to
-
resist sickness and disease. No longer can sickness and disease
-
and the curse lord over me. I can stand up
-
against that, I can rise up against that. I don't
-
deserve that, not because of my perfection, but because of
-
his He paid my bill, Why would I pay it again?
-
When you get the power bill for March from Puget
-
Sound Energy or to Comba Power or whatever. You get
-
the power bill and you pay it once and then
-
they send you another one. How many of you think
-
you ought to pay it again? How many of you
-
think you ought to call the headquarters and say, hey,
-
this bill was paid. This is what God has done
-
in Christ He's given you the authority to stand up
-
against sickness and disease, because God was in Christ, putting
-
what we deserve on him, that we would be free
-
from not only sin, but from the curse, and from
-
the power of the demonic realm working through the curse
-
insidiously to bring sickness and disease into our lives. Let's
-
go to Isaiah fifty three. He was despised and rejected
-
by man, a man of suffering, familiar with pays, like
-
one whom people hide their faces. He was despised, and
-
we held him in low esteem. This is Isaiah looking
-
forward several hundred years before the Lord came. This is
-
a passage about the Lord, about the anointed, about the Christ,
-
about him who would come. Isaiah's looking forward prophetically by
-
the Holy Spirit, and he's identifying the Christ. Surely he
-
took up our pain and bore our suffering. Yet we
-
considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted.
-
But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed
-
for our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was
-
on him, and by his stripes, by his wounds, we
-
are now you're gonna run into a lot of theologians.
-
They're going to say that that was spiritual healing. It's
-
not physical. Physical healing is not a part of the
-
body of Christ, not a part of what we should
-
believe for, not a benefit that we should have.
-
But in the first service, forty hands.
-
Went up and they said, they've been healed by divine
-
touch of the Holy Spirit. Anybody in this building ever
-
been healed by God? You know it was God that
-
healed you. Probably eighty hens right there. I read five
-
testimonies before we started the message of God moving in
-
people's lives. Right now, some are going to come along
-
and say that isn't physical healing we're supposed to believe for.
-
But how can you have a dispensing of heaven? Jesus said,
-
if I cast out demons by the finger of God them,
-
the Kingdom of Heaven has come under you. Jesus said,
-
pray this way thy Kingdom come.
-
Thy will be done on earth as it is.
-
And Jesus came bringing the Kingdom of Heaven. He wants
-
us to believe not just for the saving of our
-
soul and eternal life. He wants us to bleed for
-
heaven on Earth, that God is rearranging the whole planet.
-
God is rescuing the planet. God is restoring the planet.
-
God is reforming and transforming the planet. That progressively the
-
Kingdom of God is growing. He wants us to belied
-
for that, pray for that, agree for that, yearn for that.
-
That's the hope that we have. That Satan and the
-
unclean realm, sickness and disease which is part of that,
-
is being put under our feet and we are being
-
made to triumph over it. So to clarify that it
-
was truly what Jesus meant, Matthew records something Matthew eight seventeen.
-
Go to that if you wouldn't, dear, Matthew records something.
-
It says here that Jesus was healing those who came
-
to him. I'm not giving you the full context. You
-
can look it up. Jesus is healing those who came
-
to him. And then it says this was to fulfill Oh,
-
this is the fulfill what Isaiah the prophet spoke. Matthew says, Oh,
-
my goodness, what Jesus was doing was actually a full fulfillment.
-
Healing the sick was actually a fulfillment of what Isaiah
-
foresaw about him. And it's not just the healing of
-
our hearts, the healing of our souls, taking out the
-
heart of stone, putting in a soft heart of flesh.
-
But it's also the healing of our bodies that we
-
can believe for. And Jesus was ministering that to prove
-
that what Isaiah saw was actually coming to pass, that
-
he himself carried away, took our infirmities and carried away
-
our disease. Jesus Rome chapter ten, eight, nine, and ten.
-
Let's go there real quick, and then we're going to
-
close first closing plus ten. We got to get serious
-
about the closing. We'll never get out of here if
-
we don't get serious about the closing. I'm going to
-
start at verse six, and I apologize I started it
-
verse eight. I'm going to go here and just give
-
you the context.
-
Is that all right? You still here? Okay?
-
The righteousness that is by faith. Now, righteousness means having
-
a right relationship with God or having a right relationship
-
with a promise, having a right relationship with a word
-
from God. You can have a salvation relationship with God
-
and have a wrong relationship with healing, have a wrong
-
relationship with prosperity, blessing, and his kindness. You can have
-
a wrong relationship because somebody came along and told you
-
that's not for today, or don't believe for that, or
-
that isn't what God wants to do in your life,
-
or that passed away, or the God doesn't do that anymore.
-
Then you'll end up with a wrong RelA relationship with
-
the Word, and a wrong relationship with the promise. Every word,
-
every promise, you have to have a right relationship with it.
-
This says.
-
Verse six, is where I'm at. But the righteousness that
-
is by faith says, do not say in your heart
-
who will ascend into heaven that is to bring Christ down,
-
or who will descend into the abyss, that is to
-
bring Christ up from the dead. But what does this
-
righteousness say? It says, the Word is near you, in
-
your mouth and in your heart. That is the word
-
of faith which we are preaching. Or the Word is
-
near you, the power of Christ, the power of the Promise,
-
the power of the breakthrough. It's not in the heavens
-
beyond you, it's not in the abyss beneath you. It's
-
actually in your heart and in your mouth. That if
-
you will agree with this word of faith that's being
-
preached to you, that you will receive the salvation, and
-
not just saving faith, but the deliverance from your problem
-
and the deliverance into the promise that God wants to
-
give you. So if you will confess with your mouth
-
Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God
-
raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For
-
with the heart a person believes. The daughter in Mark
-
five believed in her heart what she heard about the
-
healing of Jesus, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting
-
in salvation. The word there is soso in the Greek
-
resulting in the fulfillment of the promise. This is what
-
God has for us today. And God wants to do
-
some healing this morning. I want to invite you to
-
receive even this morning. I don't want you to be thinking, well,
-
I hope God will do something for me. I want
-
you to know God has qualified you for healing in
-
Christ Jesus. And then if you will believe in your
-
heart and agree with your mouth that you will receive
-
from Him. I'm going to ask the Destiny team to
-
come and we're going to close with some prayer and
-
just allow you to come and be ministered to. It
-
could be an elbow somebody's got an elbow hurting. It
-
could be attendant, It could be a ligament.
-
First service.
-
I believe that there were some heart issues going on
-
and lung issues.
-
Some of us still the.
-
Vaccine, and we've been worried ever since we took the
-
vaccine because of all the bad news about the vaccine.
-
And I want you to know God wants to deliver
-
you of the influence of that vaccine on your body.
-
And God wants to heal your immune system completely. And
-
there's no condemnation to any of you that took that
-
silly vaccine. And if you've been feeling condemnation over it,
-
or weighed down by it, or burdened by it, or
-
afraid about it or nervous about it, the Holy Spirit's
-
lifting that off of you right now, and he wants
-
to minister healing to you. And if you'll come just
-
agreeing that you've touched him and he's touching you because
-
you've been brought into Him, then there's going to be
-
a restoration in your body this morning, and your immune
-
system and your blood is going to be restored your
-
heart's going to be restored and any unclean thing is
-
going to be delivered off of your body. Let's come
-
as we be into worship. Some of you troubles, some
-
of you hearing impairments, some of you it's need troubles.
-
Some of you you know what's happening in your body.
-
But just come and share with somebody on the team
-
what's happening. And the power isn't in them, but the
-
power is in the Holy Spirit, who will minister to
-
you as you share what you're believing for and what
-
you believe God will do for you. Today. Father, we
-
thank you for this today, and we thank you for
-
your word of encouragement that we partner with. We receive,
-
we partake of the divine nature through the promises of God.
-
We bless their people today.
-
We bless those online today that we stand firm in
-
the word. We give you the praise for it in
-
Jesus' name. And everybody said
