  1. Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast

  2. from St. Augustine, FL.

  3. Now enjoy this message. Well, as I was praying today,

  4. you know, obviously there's so many directions you can go when

  5. you've been ministering the word of God for, you know, 3 decades

  6. now and. You know, sometimes it's just

  7. good to say what do you want to do.

  8. I mean, I when I say that, I'm always saying that.

  9. But sometimes you get a heading and you're already moving.

  10. Sometimes you have no heading and you're just like, where are

  11. we going? And you know, so it is my

  12. custom, you know, to pray and then also just read the word.

  13. I like to read the word before I get into study, just because I

  14. like to feed myself. And I'm not looking for a

  15. message when I'm reading, but it doesn't mean they don't

  16. sometimes show up. Today, though, the Lord was

  17. pretty specific with me, you know, because I was kind of

  18. getting some unction that, you know, I don't really need to

  19. study. I just need to go pray because,

  20. you know, God's going to do something.

  21. And now that doesn't mean I'm not praying.

  22. It's just that sometimes you put yourself a little bit more in

  23. prayer because. His direction is coming out of

  24. prayer more so than it's coming out of just reading the word in

  25. it. All of a sudden something comes

  26. to light. But I got an impression of my

  27. spirit because, you know, it's obvious when the need is around,

  28. God wants to meet that need. So you know, unfortunately, as

  29. believers, we like to keep God in the spooky category.

  30. Now what do I mean by that? You know the mystery side.

  31. We don't want nobody to know about nothing that's going on.

  32. And then all of a sudden, God uses somebody to tell you

  33. everything going on in your life.

  34. And you're like, nobody could have known that but God.

  35. And we like, elevate that to, like, the highest level, OK.

  36. Those times come. God does use those times again

  37. to gain our attention or to communicate to you that he is

  38. very much aware of what's going on in your life as far as even

  39. to the point of how much hair is on your head.

  40. OK. But you understand, God doesn't

  41. doesn't have to keep himself in that position, nor do we need to

  42. keep him in that position to receive.

  43. Because sometimes Jesus is asking what do you want?

  44. He wants to know naturally before he does something.

  45. That means you're telling me, OK, I now I'm going to meet what

  46. you told me. Because again, we put God in

  47. these boxes where, you know, if God's going to do something for

  48. me, then it's got to be kind of out of nowhere.

  49. Nobody knows. It's super mysterious as opposed

  50. to. Here's what's going on and God's

  51. like, fine, I'll meet. That are you.

  52. Hearing what I'm saying, so the Lord obviously put an impression

  53. in my spirit, he said. Lot of symptoms going around, so

  54. I just want you to lay hands on the sick tonight and that's what

  55. we're going to do. Now, as sound as simple as that

  56. sounds, I expect expectation. And so I'm going to minister the

  57. word and then I mix. I don't care what symptom you

  58. have. God wants to demonstrate.

  59. Remember Paul said this. He said I didn't come with you

  60. with persuasive words, but with demonstrations of the Spirit.

  61. And so the Lord wants to completely heal you tonight.

  62. OK. And you know, say, well, you

  63. know, lots going on. I mean, obviously anybody could

  64. see that. Well, but God's the only one

  65. who's the healer at the end of the day.

  66. And God, you know, has no problem with the things you're

  67. doing in the natural to continue to keep yourself moving in the

  68. right direction. But you know, we can administer

  69. healing tonight and get it all off you once and for all.

  70. And if that's what the Lord's directed, then I would have that

  71. expectation in my coming. Are you hearing me?

  72. So I want to remind you of something that's included, say

  73. included. It's included a lot of times.

  74. You know, in the Scripture, you know, we can get, and that's why

  75. we wrote the book. The force is we can get focused

  76. on a tree that we lose context. And sometimes our focus is on

  77. the wrong thing because when we focus on the right thing, then

  78. there's what we call byproduct or it's included.

  79. It's part of the package, right. So again, Jesus's death, burial,

  80. and resurrection has. Nothing to do with getting you

  81. to heaven, although it will get you to heaven.

  82. That's not the emphasis. It is included.

  83. I said it's included. All right.

  84. So let's look at some things to understand what's included in

  85. Matthew chapter 6, verse 9 and 10.

    Matthew 6:9

  86. It says this Our Father. Whose Father?

  87. Come on, Who's Father? Is he your daddy?

  88. Does he care for you? Is he a perfect father?

  89. He is 'cause he's not a man, that he should lie.

  90. Your heavenly Father has never lied to you, ever.

  91. Say Amen. He's never lied to you.

  92. Now you may have misinterpreted something you heard in your head

  93. that you thought was God and it wasn't.

  94. Because God always does what he says.

  95. And the only reason why what he says doesn't come to pass is if

  96. you stop believing or never believe in the 1st place, you

  97. can void it. You can't.

  98. Even though the power's there for God to perform his word.

  99. OK, so our father say our father say my daddy, That's your daddy.

  100. He's your father. Amen, I said.

  101. He's your father. OK.

  102. Who is in heaven? Hallowed be your name.

  103. Your Kingdom come, Your will be on as it is.

  104. How many people are sick in heaven?

  105. How many are sick in heaven? Do they have a hospital up

  106. there? No, there's not.

  107. No one is sick in heaven. So it must be the father's will

  108. in his realm that sickness should not be is not a part of

  109. his realm. And if he wants that to manifest

  110. here, then sickness doesn't have to be a part of your life.

  111. Are you hearing me? Or let's put it this way, it

  112. doesn't have to stay with you. Now when I say it can't be a

  113. part of your life, I'm not saying it's not on the earth

  114. because it is on the earth because sin's on the earth.

  115. Because the enemy's still functioning on the planet and he

  116. has weapons that he forms against the church.

  117. One of his weapons is sickness and disease.

  118. Are you hearing me? So he does that.

  119. And the fact that man has fallen in there and we are susceptible

  120. to certain things, symptoms can manifest, but we don't have to

  121. keep them. That's my point.

  122. We can say, you know what, we're going to stop right here.

  123. Amen. Because I'm going to believe the

  124. report of the Lord. Because there were days that we

  125. felt great, perfect. No problem.

  126. Then all of a sudden we started feeling something different.

  127. Well, guess what? Then we get whole again.

  128. Even if you did it in the natural, my point is, it's

  129. temporary. So you might as well believe

  130. God's word that's eternal. Quit looking at what's temporary

  131. and stay with what's eternal. So he wants his Kingdom to

  132. manifest on the earth as it is in heaven.

  133. In Matthew 417 you know this. It says from that time Jesus

  134. began to preach and say repent, change your thinking, for the

  135. Kingdom of heaven is at hand. Is it at hand?

  136. Is it in our midst? Is it in our midst?

  137. It has to be able to be in our midst, because how could God's

  138. Kingdom come and his will be done on earth like it is in

  139. heaven, if it couldn't be in our midst now?

  140. So it's in our midst, OK? I said.

  141. It's in our midst. And what did Jesus preach?

  142. Repent. For the Kingdom of heaven has at

  143. hand. So what did he preach?

  144. He preached the Kingdom. But in order for you to get the

  145. Kingdom, you got to change your thinking, right?

  146. So he preaches the Kingdom, but he's letting them know you're

  147. not going to get this if you're going to hold on to your

  148. thoughts. Because if you keep living like

  149. you're thinking, which is based upon your sight and how you

  150. feel, well, then you're going to have what you see and have what

  151. you feel your subject. But if you'll change your

  152. thinking and believe my word. Then you can have what my word

  153. says, and it can change what's going on here.

  154. So I don't live by what I see. I live by the word of God, and

  155. it changes what I see and what I feel.

  156. OK, so we go on a few verses later in the same chapter, verse

  157. 23, look what it says. Jesus was going around going.

  158. Throughout all Galilee, What's he doing?

  159. He's teaching in their synagogue and proclaiming.

  160. What's he proclaiming? The gospel.

  161. But what is the gospel? It's the gospel of the Kingdom,

  162. 'cause that's what he preaches. He's preaching about this

  163. government that he is the king of and all of his benefits

  164. associated with it. OK, he's proclaiming the gospel

  165. of the Kingdom. Now look what's taking place.

  166. Because he's talking about the Kingdom and healing.

  167. How many kinds of disease? How many kinds?

  168. How many kinds? How many kinds except cancer.

  169. Except lymphoma. Except tuberculosis.

  170. Except type 2 diabetes. Except bipolar depression.

  171. Except is that in there? Now I love this verse 'cause

  172. it's every kind of disease. This is what I call the

  173. algebraic equation. The guy was like, I don't care

  174. what man's going to name anything, I heal every kind at

  175. every stage. Every kind at every stage, every

  176. kind at every stage, I said. Every kind at every stage and

  177. healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness

  178. because you understand some symptoms are not something that

  179. technically can take us out physically.

  180. It's not the it's not really taking us out physically anyway.

  181. And here's the thing about sickness is that a lot of times

  182. we'll put up with sickness 'cause we ourselves know it's

  183. temporary. Well, this ain't going to kill

  184. me. I'm sniffling a little bit.

  185. This ain't going to kill me and we don't even bother God yet.

  186. That's in his every category. I said that's in his every

  187. category. And every kind of sickness among

  188. the people. Look at Matthew Chapter 9, verse

    Matthew 9:35

  189. 35. Matthew chapter 935 says Jesus

  190. was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in the

  191. synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom.

  192. And what was he doing? Just in case you didn't get it

  193. in the 4th chapter, we getting it in the 9th chapter.

  194. Every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

  195. I said every. Every kind.

  196. Now the last thing you want to conclude is that there's no

  197. other option but just to believe God only.

  198. You are to believe God only and do what his word says.

  199. Because some diseases and sicknesses you can't actually

  200. stand in faith for 'cause you don't have enough information.

  201. My people perish due to what? So the scripture is not saying

  202. don't ever go to a doctor. Now how do we know?

  203. God has no problem with a doctor because he was going to a a guy,

  204. a religious guy's house, to heal his daughter.

  205. One day he had come to him and said, my daughter, she's about

  206. to die, she's at the point of death.

  207. Will you come lay hands on her and heal her?

  208. He says. OK, I'm go to the house.

  209. So he's moving. Towards the house, right.

  210. But it's a big crowd and it's taking some time to get there.

  211. It just so happens that another woman.

  212. Who's. Quite a bit older is, you know,

  213. in the vicinity and here's Jesus is walking through the streets

  214. now she's got a problem. She's had a sickness or disease

  215. for 12 years. She is bleeding.

  216. And so as a result of that, she's gone to the doctors.

  217. The Bible tells us this historical count of her, you

  218. know, diagnosis, and they have treated her with everything

  219. known to medical science at the time.

  220. She has not gotten better, she's only gotten worse.

  221. So she's all of her money has gone into her trying to get her

  222. healing. Well.

  223. When she hears Jesus is here, she's obviously heard that he's

  224. been able to heal because she concludes if I just touched a

  225. man's helm. So she's heard something about

  226. his touch. So she's like, well, if I can

  227. just touch him now, she's already concluded.

  228. I'm so weak. I'm probably not going to walk

  229. up to the guy by the time I get through the crowd.

  230. If I get through the crowd, although that's she's like, I'm

  231. going to get through the crowd because I'm going to get mine is

  232. I'm going to, I'll be at the place that I'm going to be on

  233. the ground and I'm just going to be able to reach out and touch

  234. the man. It's him of which she did.

  235. OK, it says when she touches his hem, immediately say

  236. immediately, immediately she's healed and she knows it.

  237. But at the same time, immediately God knows power

  238. leaves him and he's like, who touched me, y'all remember this?

  239. And he says who touched me? And Peter's like, seriously,

  240. Jesus, all these people, I mean you got so many people touching

  241. you right now, how can you say that?

  242. He said no, no, no, no. Power.

  243. Has left me. When the woman realized that she

  244. has not escaped notice, she testifies.

  245. So guess what? She tells him.

  246. This is what I had for 12 years. I've gone to the doctor.

  247. You know what he doesn't say to her?

  248. Why'd you waste all your money on doctors?

  249. He never said that to her. He didn't rebuke her for going

  250. to the doctor. So if a believer ever rebukes

  251. you for going to the doctor, that's not God, 'cause God

  252. didn't do that. The healer himself didn't do

  253. that. In fact, the healer himself,

  254. when he healed the lepers, 'cause they then came to him and

  255. says, Lord, if you're willing, he said, you know I am and he

  256. heals as they go, he said. Now go show yourself to the

  257. priest that was which, and by all rights that was a physician.

  258. According to the law to determine that leprosy was no

  259. longer on the IT wasn't a medical doctor like we think

  260. today. The priest's responsibility was

  261. to determine whether leprosy was cured or not on a human being.

  262. So when he says go show yourself to the priest, Jesus is saying

  263. go back to the doctor to get your clean bill of health.

  264. So again, when people's like, oh, the Lord's healed me, I'm

  265. not going back to the doctor. Why?

  266. Jesus made the lepers go to the doctor to get their clean bill

  267. of health. And if you're healed, why are

  268. you afraid to go to the doctor anyway?

  269. Surely he's going to conclude the same thing you're believing,

  270. and then we get to testify in front of them and the nursing

  271. staff and anyone else that God healed.

  272. Me say Hallelujah. So when we read those

  273. scriptures, what this tells us is that the Lord may have

  274. methods by which He needs you to understand how He is.

  275. Now when I say that I'm not saying that God's answer is

  276. medical. I'm not concluding that, but

  277. some for some medical helps because it has not manifested

  278. just in the Spirit. In your body.

  279. And until then, you need to do whatever you need to do to keep

  280. your process moving. Now you don't do anything to

  281. violate what the Holy Spirit's telling you to do.

  282. I'm not telling you just, 'cause you go to a doctor and they say,

  283. hey, we're going to do this. And the Holy Ghost says don't do

  284. that treatment, then you shouldn't do that treatment

  285. because God knows your body better than they do.

  286. They're practicing, and He knows you.

  287. He created you. But if he says you can go ahead

  288. and do this, well guess what? Then you need to do it, because

  289. now you're following the will of the Father.

  290. But my point is, is when the kingdom's preached, guess what

  291. is included healing. Healing is included.

  292. When Jesus has gone around all these areas, he's gone to

  293. Galilee. It says he goes to cities and

  294. villages, Matthew 9 tells us. All these locations that he's

  295. going to, and he's just preaching on the Kingdom.

  296. Guess what's included with that message?

  297. Healing, healing, healing, healing, healing, healing.

  298. Every kind. Every kind.

  299. Every kind at every stage. Every kind at every stage.

  300. And you know what the worst stage is?

  301. In case you want to know is when it kills you.

  302. That's the worst stage. But it's still not out of God's

  303. reach because he can raise resurrect even the dead and get

  304. off you. What killed you so that you live

  305. and not die? Now that doesn't mean live and

  306. not die naturally, because we're all going to die.

  307. The Bible says it was appointed. For all men to die once.

  308. Now the cool thing is apparently for us, 'cause I'm trying to

  309. include myself into into this generation of the ones who will

  310. put on immorality. That'd be so fast of a death.

  311. Now it is death, because death just means separation.

  312. I'll separate from my mortal and put on immortality, and that'd

  313. be in the moment. In the twinkling of an eye, it'd

  314. be the fastest death resurrection you've ever seen in

  315. your life. Hallelujah.

  316. I have to assume it doesn't hurt.

  317. Dude, we just died and we're alive again.

  318. Wow. I mean, I couldn't even think of

  319. fast enough. It was so quick.

  320. All right. Anyway, so here's the thing.

  321. Jesus healed primarily 4 ways when Jesus did heal.

  322. He healed by touch. He'd lay hands.

  323. And they'd be healed. He touched the leopard, he

  324. touched blind eyes, and they were healed.

  325. Another way he healed was through the gifts of the Spirit.

  326. Now there are healings that function through the gifts of

  327. the Spirit. And this is the problem with

  328. Christianity. You know again with us

  329. fantasizing about God instead of seeing God for who he is.

  330. The way that we hear God heals everything.

  331. Then we conclude that one method does it all.

  332. And that's not true 'cause if one method did it all, then God

  333. would have only done one method. But God did not do one method.

  334. God did some based upon the gifts of the Spirit.

  335. There are 9 gifts, of which one of the gifts is the gifts of

  336. healing. If the laying on of hands of

  337. which we can do lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.

  338. There are conditions by which man can be healed that way, and

  339. it doesn't have to be any other way, but there are conditions

  340. that it requires the Holy Ghost to move.

  341. For that to happen, which means the laying on of hands will not

  342. get the results, because the gifts of the Spirit are not as

  343. man wills, but as the spirit wills and he moves upon man.

  344. And we know Jesus operated like a man.

  345. He was all God, but he functioned as a man full of the

  346. Holy Ghost. So when we get to the pool of

  347. Bethesda, that is the gifts of the Spirit in operation.

  348. Because here's a guy laying at the pool, paralyzed.

  349. Can't get in, which means we got muscle.

  350. What's that called? Thank you.

  351. You know, the stuff's not working at all.

  352. And guess what? In this?

  353. Now that doesn't have to happen in every case, because the gifts

  354. didn't function like that. When the guys ripped the roof

  355. off and the other paralyzed came down because the gifts weren't

  356. functioning, their faith was functioning.

  357. And he healed that guy at his word.

  358. He didn't even touch him. He said, pick up your mat and

  359. walk. And what did he say?

  360. Seeing their faith. So their faith prompted his

  361. declaration. And when Jesus said get up and

  362. walk, the only thing that stops you from walking is you're

  363. yielding to that word. Because if the guy would have

  364. said I can, I'm paralyzed, he would have nullified the power

  365. of that word. But did he do that?

  366. No, because he was in faith. And when Jesus said get up, take

  367. up your mat and walk, he acted on that word and he was

  368. strengthened in his legs and his muscles and his bones and

  369. feeling came back and he picked up Walt, that thing right out

  370. the house. Yet enough strength to be able

  371. to pick the thing up. He was on, right?

  372. But at the pool of Bethesda, there were a lot of sick people,

  373. not just this one guy. And yet the Holy Ghost picked

  374. the guy out. Now again, you can say, why did

  375. God do that? I can't answer that question.

  376. I can't answer. You can ask him one day.

  377. All I know is he knows what's going on in everybody's life.

  378. He knows what's taken and occurring.

  379. For whatever reason the Holy Ghost that day wanted that guy

  380. who had been that way for like 38 years and through the gifts

  381. because he says what do you want?

  382. The guy's like man, I can't get to the water.

  383. He don't even know Jesus. No faith.

  384. He has no faith in Jesus at all. But because of the gifts, Jesus

  385. was able to function in a way. That and the Holy Ghost got

  386. involved. And outside of that man's faith

  387. he got healed. So you can do it by touch.

  388. You can do it through the gifts of the Spirit.

  389. You can do it at his word. But then you can also be healed

  390. by their faith. Jesus healed people by their

  391. faith. The woman again with the issue

  392. of blood that was flowing touched his him.

  393. She kept saying if I just touches him, I'll be healed.

  394. Power left him. He wasn't even aware she was

  395. near. He wasn't even conscious of her

  396. faith. He didn't know she existed.

  397. You said God. Jesus didn't know she, Jesus was

  398. in a earth suit. If he's not getting the

  399. instruction from the Holy Ghost, he don't know.

  400. He did not know she was coming. He was not informed that she was

  401. coming. He had no our king had no idea

  402. that this woman was about to touch him, but when she did, he

  403. knew power left and he didn't know who done it.

  404. Our Jesus didn't know who did it.

  405. This shows his humanity and his dependency on the Holy Spirit.

  406. And that he himself had limitations in the context that

  407. he was dependent upon being led by the Spirit.

  408. And he's like, well, somebody touched me, powers left me.

  409. In essence, you're not going to come get some without

  410. testifying, right? And here's the thing.

  411. A lot of times people want to get from God and don't want

  412. nobody to know about it. And God wouldn't let that

  413. happen, 'cause like, you going to testify, somebody's going to

  414. testify. I'm not even moving now.

  415. I mean, Jesus stops, so I'm not even moving.

  416. And you understand the religious leaders, like my daughter's

  417. about to die. Can we get to the house?

  418. He's like, I can't go nowhere. I mean, somebody's touched me.

  419. I I mean, who did this, right? And so she tells him so And he

  420. says, he says, daughter, your faith has healed you.

  421. Amen. Now tonight, three of these for

  422. sure are going to be in operation.

  423. I can't guarantee the 4th one, which is the gifts of the

  424. Spirit, but I can't guarantee the three that is at a word,

  425. we're declaring that it's included with the Kingdom.

  426. So at a word you're healed. You can bring your faith when

  427. you come. And then we'll lay hands on you.

  428. And through touch, you can receive your total manifestation

  429. of healing. Amen.

  430. And you know what I've realized? Because again, I've gone back

  431. into all my sermons back to 2005.

  432. And when I type in healing, I don't have a whole lot.

  433. I don't minister on the subject of healing a whole lot here.

  434. Now that doesn't mean we shouldn't.

  435. Because again, faith comes by hearing, but the reality is, is

  436. we've been a extremely healthy church that we've had a included

  437. process because we've been seeking first the Kingdom for so

  438. long. The byproduct is that we've been

  439. functioning in some really good health.

  440. It's kind of what happens because the word does good like

  441. a. Medicine.

  442. So in essence, because we've been diligent every year to go

  443. for the Bible cover, to cover what I've been giving you is the

  444. vitamins and nutrition necessary for your body.

  445. I'm not talking about just your spirit and your soul.

  446. I'm talking about your body. We've been giving you a.

  447. Diet that actually helps feed you physically.

  448. It quickens your mortal body. And because of that, it's been

  449. by products, so to speak. Now that doesn't mean there's

  450. times that we don't need to focus on it and that we don't

  451. need to bring it back up. Obviously in this moment some

  452. things are kind of going around and we're just going to go ahead

  453. and remind ourselves so that we can walk on into something

  454. because what we do tonight who's not here and you see them on

  455. Sunday and you hear them with a symptom.

  456. They may be coughing, blowing their nose or something else.

  457. Don't wait for them to come into service.

  458. What you're going to do is you're going to say, you know

  459. what Pastor prayed, did this on Wednesday night?

  460. Laid hands on us. We received our heel.

  461. I'm going to lay hands on you. Going to get rid of this today.

  462. You're going to do it in the lobby.

  463. You're going to do it in the parking lot.

  464. You're going to do it with a chill.

  465. I don't care where you're at. Because again, healing is not

  466. just for this time is for the believer.

  467. To do so you need to do. Which is another reason why we

  468. don't preach on healing a whole lot here is because we do know

  469. how to pray for one another. And let me just say this.

  470. Don't get spiritually prideful to get your healing on your own.

  471. Now believe God on your own. But when I came in a week ago

  472. and I, you know, sounded deeper than Barry White.

  473. You know, but again, what we're just pushing on.

  474. We going to preach anyway, right?

  475. And we're all gargly and sounded.

  476. But you know what? I had three people lay hands on

  477. me before I ever got to the platform.

  478. They heard me pass her. I said, yeah, I said, well, I

  479. got some symptoms, you know. Well, you're the heal the Lord.

  480. Yes, I am. And then they and then they pray

  481. for me. I didn't say don't touch me,

  482. man. I got my healing.

  483. I didn't do that. I'm like, bring it on.

  484. Give me another witness. Give me somebody else in

  485. agreement. Because you don't feel what I

  486. feel, and at the end of the day, you're confident that you can

  487. lay hands on me. According to scripture, I'll

  488. receive the dose from you. I'll take another dose.

  489. I'll get another infusion of faith, of healing in my body.

  490. I'll do it. Pastor Mark, text me on Sunday

  491. and said how you doing? I said good.

  492. I said, yeah man, I'm like 9098 percent, 95%, you know, I'm,

  493. I'm, I'm rocking. He said, well I sound like you

  494. like you did Wednesday. I said, uh, I said wow, that's

  495. not good. He said yeah, I said, well he

  496. said pray for my voice. So I prayed right there as the

  497. text. I said in the name of Jesus,

  498. your voice is going to get stronger.

  499. Well, later on that afternoon I said, how does service go?

  500. He said. My voice got stronger.

  501. Amen. What I loved about that is he

  502. didn't act like I get on my own, though he can't get it on his

  503. own. He knows healing, He knows the

  504. scripture, He knows where to go. But again, it's about this

  505. connection. It's about community.

  506. It's about believers coming together in unity.

  507. Amen. You know, because sometimes we

  508. get into these situations about healing and they're like, well,

  509. I already got mine. I'm not going to go.

  510. I I don't need nobody to lay hands on mine.

  511. I already believed I received well.

  512. Did you receive breakfast this morning?

  513. Did you eat lunch? I bet you ate dinner.

  514. So you don't quit receiving because you ate once.

  515. I mean, it's not a lack of faith for you to come up and say give

  516. me another dose. Now it's different.

  517. If you're like, I didn't get it, now that's a whole another ball

  518. game. Because if you don't think you

  519. got it and you don't think the laying on the hands is going to

  520. get it to you, then you're not going to get it anyway because

  521. your doubts, what's keeping your symptoms from changing?

  522. Are you hearing me? So you might as well come get

  523. more, because here's the thing I've concluded.

  524. If it's not off. Then I'm doing everything to

  525. continue to apply, 'cause it ain't over till it's over.

  526. So why get complacent? And too often we do this with

  527. the sickness. Well, it'd be a couple days to

  528. be all right. I mean, we sound like Pharaoh.

  529. Think about that. Moses says he's like Moses.

  530. Get rid of these frogs, he said. OK, just tell me when you want

  531. it. Tomorrow.

  532. He said that tomorrow, not like now, right?

  533. And we're like, well, we'll be better tomorrow.

  534. Amen. I mean, when I had this, when we

  535. came back from the trip, you know, 'cause I didn't sleep

  536. super great on the flight back over.

  537. And so the very next day I took something, my wife's like you,

  538. Guinea, take something to help you go to sleep, and that says

  539. knock you out. So you're not staying awake

  540. 'cause you're coughing. And so she gave me some of that,

  541. like Alka Seltzer nighttime stuff, right?

  542. It knocked me out, bro. I was out for like 24 hours.

  543. My wife says I was out for 12. I got up while she was asleep,

  544. got some water, and then I went back to bed, saw her the next

  545. morning. So it was 212 hour.

  546. Shifts is what it was. Anyway, she did.

  547. And I called her back in the in the room and I said lay hands on

  548. me and pray over me. I mean, don't just assume I got

  549. something now, she wouldn't assume, but that's where I'm at.

  550. Like, I'm not just here to assume that just 'cause I'm a

  551. man of God and believe God and a child of God, that my wife get

  552. in agreement, get up in here, put your hands on me, touch me

  553. and pray over me, 'cause I want somebody anointed on your life

  554. in this situation so that I can come up out of this quicker.

  555. Are you hearing me? OK, so then, did it?

  556. Does it stay with Jesus? Obviously not.

  557. Matthew. Chapter 10, verse seven and

    Matthew 10 chapter mention

  558. eight. It says this.

  559. And as you go, say me go. As you go, say me go.

  560. That's not amigo, That's you. Go.

  561. All right, as you go, preach, saying the Kingdom of heaven is

  562. at hand, guess what's included? Heal the sick.

  563. Now he gets a little deeper here because Jesus, when he's

  564. preaching, we know he's healing every kind of disease and every

  565. kind of sickness. But we understand it goes beyond

  566. that because there's more included with the Kingdom than

  567. that. And Jesus goes ahead and lets

  568. his lets his disciples have this kind of access.

  569. He said go ahead and heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse

  570. the lepers. That means cure the incurable

  571. disease, cast out demons, get rid of the source.

  572. Right. Get rid of the source.

  573. Because again, sometimes we can lay hands on people.

  574. Now I'm talking more common, you know, workplace than it should

  575. be in here. Obviously it can happen in here.

  576. I mean, someone could come in and this could happen, you know,

  577. because again, Jesus dealt with one woman that was bent over and

  578. he rebuked a spirit of infirmity.

  579. Sometimes if you pray for healing and they start symptoms

  580. aside, but then it comes back and it seems like there's this

  581. long period, you might want to take in consideration that a

  582. spirit of infirmity keeps trying to show up with a little

  583. symptom. So you might want to go a little

  584. deeper and say I rebuke you spirit of infirmity.

  585. Don't come to me no more with your symptom because there are

  586. spirits out there that carry symptoms.

  587. And you can get a reprieve, but you haven't gotten rid of the

  588. source. So if you're a person that's

  589. always having a nagging at something, it's like you can't

  590. ever get past. You go from one thing to the

  591. next thing to the next thing to the next thing.

  592. We going to talk about this more next year?

  593. In 2024 you might want to stop and say I bond the spirit of

  594. infirmity. Because I should not have all

  595. these conditions keep showing up in my life over this type of

  596. period. Amen.

  597. Because again, the devil again, if he's trying to kill you, he

  598. can't do it abruptly, that's true.

  599. But majority of time he's like spoon feeding you stuff.

  600. You know, it's like the people who's killed their spouses

  601. because they gave them a little bit of something in their

  602. coffee. It was hard to trace.

  603. Well, you laugh, but I mean, that's how the devil does.

  604. He puts a little bit in your head, puts a little bit in your

  605. head, puts a little bit in your head, puts a little bit in your

  606. head, and you eventually find yourself and then he can feed

  607. more in your head because now you've developed a tolerance to

  608. that one, right? OK, Well, same thing can happen

  609. with the spirit of infirmity. And give you a little symptom

  610. here that comes off, gives you different symptom here he ain't

  611. left. He likes sitting in the room.

  612. All right, so again, it's included with the Kingdom, even

  613. if Jesus himself isn't doing it. Because he says as you go and

  614. you minister the Kingdom, you talk about the Kingdom.

  615. You represent the Kingdom well. He'll the sick raise the dead,

  616. cleanse the lepers, cast out demons freely you receive what?

  617. Freely what? Freely what?

  618. Luke 10, nine says this and heal those in it who are sick and say

  619. to them now this is when he's talking about going into cities.

  620. He said, I want you to go into cities, right?

  621. And you're going to go into these people.

  622. And now if there happens to be anybody at the house you're

  623. staying at that's sick, you're going to heal them and then say

  624. this, tell them why they're being healed.

  625. The Kingdom of God has come near.

  626. It's included with the Kingdom. I said it's included with the

  627. Kingdom. Now I the best example I can

  628. give to you is modern day right now because at this point

  629. there's a whole humanitarian aid showing up in Gaza and what are

  630. they doing? They're showing up representing

  631. the United nation or a nation and saying we're it's included

  632. with us coming so. Because we're Kingdom citizens,

  633. guess what's included with us? Healing.

  634. Healing is included with us now. It's not.

  635. We're not the doctors. We are really the the, the, the

  636. RNS. We come, we get to come in, do

  637. all the diagnosis, and you know, they do all anyway.

  638. And then the doctor comes in and signs the name.

  639. He authorizes it. So that's when we the RN, we get

  640. to take all the vitals, say in the name of Jesus and he

  641. authorizes it. They heal.

  642. Amen. I'll be an RN for the Lord

  643. because he's authorizing it. He's the one who paid the price

  644. for it. Luke Chapter 9, verse two.

    Luke 9 chapter mention

  645. Then we'll jump down to 11 and it says this.

  646. And he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to what?

  647. It's included. Are we a Kingdom?

  648. Church? Do we believe in the Kingdom?

  649. So then the healthcare system of the Kingdom, and let me just say

  650. it is healthcare because if he's curing you then you're not in

  651. health. In order for curing to take

  652. place, you can't have health cure cause health is health.

  653. You're sick. That's why it's health care is

  654. to continue to care for your health so that you can stay

  655. healthy. Unfortunately, our healthcare

  656. system is a broken system and it does not.

  657. It doesn't help your health. It actually gives you more

  658. symptoms cuz just check your prescriptions.

  659. We're going to, I'll, I'll eliminate this symptom only to

  660. give you these symptoms. But that's all right.

  661. We got a pill for that. And now you're compete.

  662. You are a repeat customer. It's called capitalism in the

  663. medical system. That's why our cars don't last

  664. as long as they do. Our phones don't last as long.

  665. It's it our refrigerator. I mean, I ain't going to lie.

  666. I spent some money on my refrigerator a year ago

  667. thinking, you know, the Lord's blessed me.

  668. I don't have to go cheaper. I'm going to get something

  669. that's going to last. Ha, what a lie.

  670. Yeah, I mean, got to. I mean, I'm paying for a

  671. warranty. That why if you just make it

  672. right, I don't have this problem.

  673. Right. This is why some of y'all went

  674. and bought those ones that are 20 year old washing machines

  675. because they're still running. I'm not talking about these, but

  676. it's not fashionable right? Man, forget fashion for I just

  677. wash my clothes just keep my I mean we bought in a we bought an

  678. apartment size refrigerator and I got in the garage because I

  679. don't have one. My big fancy one is.

  680. DO dead on arrival. You know, it's.

  681. I can't get it to resuscitate. I mean, it only lives for three

  682. days and then it dies every day. So, you know, praise the Lord

  683. the Lord's vindicating us for us all over with.

  684. And then at that point, once I get it fixed, I may just get rid

  685. of it anyway and find an old one that actually runs.

  686. And I'll paint it and make it look new.

  687. I'm done with the stainless steel.

  688. I'm bringing a new style back, painted, whatever.

  689. No, I'll get the media team to do a wrap for me.

  690. I'll just wrap it and I'll say this is a Kingdom.

  691. House or something, OK. So the Kingdom of God and and to

  692. perform healings. It's included verse 11.

  693. But the crowds were aware of this and followed him, welcoming

  694. them. He began speaking to them about

  695. what Kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.

  696. It just is included, guys. I said it's included.

  697. Now Jesus has died and raised from the dead just so you know

  698. that it's still functioning though he's seated in heaven.

  699. In Acts chapter one, we know Jesus is alive and he tells them

  700. to tarry until the Holy Ghost comes.

  701. They'll be in do with power from all high and then they can be a

  702. witness for him and they watch him go.

  703. In chapter 2, the Holy Ghost falls and they receive the power

  704. of the Holy Spirit. And he preaches and people get

  705. born again. It's pretty amazing time.

  706. But Jesus is not on the planet anymore.

  707. In chapter 3 they're going to pray and the guy's begging who

  708. is sick and Peter through the gifts fixes his eyes on him and

  709. snatches the man up out the off the ground who's paralyzed and

  710. through the gifts heals the guy. Then the name of Jesus Raise up

  711. and walk and he snatches him. If you study it from the

  712. original Greek, he pulls him when he makes that statement.

  713. And the guy's healed. Verse chapter 4.

  714. He's on trial. Here it is, verse 9.

  715. We'll pick it up. Chapter 4, verse 9.

  716. So Jesus not on the planet in the flesh.

  717. And he says, if we are on trial today for the benefit done to a

  718. sick man as to how this man has been made, well, let it be known

  719. to all of you. And to all the people of Israel,

  720. that by the name I said, by the name of Jesus Christ the

  721. Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead by

  722. this name, this man stands here before you, in, in, in, in good

  723. health. So Jesus does not have to be

  724. personally present on the planet for you to be healed.

  725. We just have to use the name. I said just have to use the

  726. name. Just have to use the name.

  727. Why are we authorized? Because of the payment.

  728. First Peter chapter 2, verse four says for he bore our sins

    1 Peter 2 chapter mention

  729. in his body on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to

  730. righteousness. For by His wounds you were

  731. healed. His physical wounds did not

  732. bring you spiritual salvation. His blood paid the price for

  733. your wrongdoing, but the physical wounds is what opened

  734. the door for your physical body to be able to have manifestation

  735. of this alive person in Christ and the Holy Ghost living on the

  736. inside of you. For you to be in the covenant of

  737. a person who can have a healthy body as long as you continue to

  738. do the purpose, God is a sign for you in the planet to bear

  739. fruit for Him. You have a legal right as a

  740. citizen of the Kingdom of God to walk in health and healing.

  741. Amen. Because he's paid the price, he

  742. bore it, Isaiah 53 five says. For he was pierced through for

  743. our transgression, he was crushed for our iniquities, The

  744. chastisement of our well-being fell upon him, and by his

  745. scourging we are healed. Obviously Peter says you were

  746. healed. Isaiah spoke before it took

  747. place, right? Peter speaks after it's taken

  748. place. So this is already settled.

  749. Jesus does not go to the cross again for somebody getting born

  750. again, nor is he taking the stripes on his back anymore.

  751. For someone who needs to be healed, it is by faith.

  752. I said It is by faith that you receive three ways.

  753. By faith, if the gifts need to be in play, then the gifts will

  754. get in play and the gifts will do what the gifts can do.

  755. And your faith doesn't have to be included.

  756. It will require your faith to keep because what the gifts give

  757. don't mean you get for eternity you yourself again.

  758. Jesus healed a guy who he said pick up your mat and go

  759. somewhere. I don't know if it was the same

  760. guy. So y'all can help me because he

  761. obviously healed a lot of people.

  762. But remember he walked around the Pharisees were like, why are

  763. you walking with your mat bro? Because he healed him all the

  764. Sabbath, right? And he's like, well, God told me

  765. who was he? I have no idea, don't even know

  766. his name. OK, so he finds him again,

  767. right? And he says to him, go and sin

  768. no more. So nothing worse will come on

  769. you. So the gifts are not a

  770. guarantee. You keep the healing you

  771. received. You still have the

  772. responsibility to know your rights and to continue in Bill

  773. and make a demand on that what God did for you, independent of

  774. you, you're not going to lose now.

  775. And the devil has no right to 'cause there's many believers

  776. that have had a have received healing only for symptoms to

  777. come back at another time and then conclude, well, I guess God

  778. didn't want me to have it after all.

  779. That's a lie. God doesn't tease us.

  780. He doesn't do that. He's not malicious like that.

  781. Going to heal you supernaturally of something that only the gifts

  782. could do, and then put it back on you.

  783. He does not do that. That is not the character of

  784. God, but the devil. He sure wants to put it on you,

  785. so don't give him an opportunity.

  786. Are you ready to be healed? I said, you ready to be healed?

  787. Are you ready to receive it? Because you are healed as far as

  788. eternity is concerned. As far as Jesus concerned, your

  789. body is already whole. Thank you so much for listening
