  1. Well, I'm Pastor Eng and it is always an honor to minister.

  2. I'm so thankful, we Pastor Mike and I are associate pastors and

  3. we started coming here about last week.

  4. Now I'm just kidding. We've been here for a while and

  5. and I can truly say, you know, that our pastors are senior

  6. pastors, are they are Shepherds after his heart and we are

  7. grateful for that and we thank God.

  8. God for them. They're in India right now, with

  9. a team and, and I got a text last night from Pastor Marcy,

  10. that 15 women got born again and that there are miracles happen

  11. now, I'm sure. There's more than that that's

  12. even happened. She just happened to put that on

  13. our thread. We haven't stayed totally in

  14. touch with what's happening other than through Facebook, but

  15. there are Mighty things happening while they're there.

  16. And, and, and that is our mandate is to take the the

  17. kingdom of God. The word of God.

  18. Bind to other nations to the Caribbean and Beyond.

  19. And so I we're thankful that they can go and they have, you

  20. know, trained and built us up. You know, as staff and that

  21. there's an anointing in all of our Lives.

  22. All of our Lives, you know, to have a place in the body and to

  23. step into our fit in the body. So this morning, I'm going to

  24. minister to you on healing the Brokenhearted and that's

  25. something that That I knew when I was going to minister that God

  26. wanted me to go in that direction and been meditating on

  27. that, from that point until today.

  28. And so, I believe not only will it set you free and, and help

  29. you unlock some things in your heart, but also puts you in a

  30. position to help others, you know, the body of Christ.

  31. We're supposed to Bear one another's burdens.

  32. That's what we're supposed to do.

  33. And if we as a church body, can be whole ourselves and be

  34. complete ourselves. Then then we can have the right

  35. discernment when we're ministering others to to others

  36. to say they're broken. Hearted, there's an issue there.

  37. And and I have words of life, I am, I am that tree that bears

  38. fruit. That's planted By the Waters, I

  39. can give them life. We can all do that.

  40. We don't always have to stem them here to the church for

  41. Council and that's necessary sometimes but it's in you it's

  42. in us but we want to First make sure that we're allowing God to

  43. penetrate and to deal with every part of us.

  44. So so let's talk about him this morning.

  45. We're going to start in Exodus chapter 15, if you want to turn

    Exodus 15 chapter mention

  46. there and in Exodus, chapter 15 is the first place where God

    Exodus 15 chapter mention

  47. introduces Deuces himself as Jehovah Rapha.

  48. Jehovah, Rapha and Jehovah, Rapha means, I am the Lord, who

  49. heals, I'm the Lord, who cures, I'm the Lord, Who restores and

  50. the Lord who completes and makes you whole that's Jehovah-jireh.

  51. That's note. He is Jehovah Jireh to, that's

  52. Jehovah Rapha. He can provide your needs to

  53. trust me, but but in Exodus, 15:26, this is R.

  54. He says that not only does he say for an isolated incident

  55. that that I'll heal you. You know, if you come against

  56. sickness or if you come against anything in your life that I'll

  57. heal you. But no, he's saying I am

  58. healing. I am your health, I am your

  59. wholeness, I am your cure, he is that for us.

  60. So let's go to Exodus chapter 15, listen, this Jehovah Rapha,

    Exodus 15 chapter mention

  61. when we think of this automatically, if you've been in

  62. the church for any length of time, you you think of you

  63. relate, Jehovah Rapha to physical healing and he is that,

  64. and he does do that. But but even in In this, this

  65. writing here he's addressing the issue of their hearts and he's

  66. not just the Healer of your physical man.

  67. But the Bible tells us that he's the Healer of your heart that he

  68. wants to, mend and heal those broken places on the inside of

  69. you. So, when we're emotionally

  70. overwhelmed, depressed, anxious grieving hurt or bitter.

  71. God is the one who heals that. And only he can do it only he

  72. can bring healing for a broken heart.

  73. Only, he can give you Joy for mourning only, he can do that.

  74. A Garment of Praise for a spirit of heaviness only God can do

  75. that. So Exodus chapter 15, it says,

    Exodus 15 chapter mention

  76. now, the setting here is that Moses had just LED them out of

  77. Egypt and they had just crossed the Red Sea.

  78. Now, Egypt is a type of the world, and the Red Sea is a type

  79. of us being born again. And so he had I'd just LED them

  80. out and now they were in slavery, complete bondage and he

  81. had just LED them out now, they began to rejoice in to sing in

  82. Exodus 15. It says in Moses and the

  83. children of Israel sang, this song to the Lord and spoke

  84. saying I will sing to the Lord. For he has, triumphed gloriously

  85. the horse, and it's Rider. He has thrown into the sea, the

  86. Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

  87. He is my God. And I will praise him, my

  88. father's God and I will exalt him.

  89. And if you continue to read and go down, it is consistent

  90. praising and thanking him for that.

  91. But now jump down to verse 20. It says then Miriam the

  92. prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand and

  93. all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances

  94. and Miriam answered them seem to the Lord for he has triumphed

  95. gloriously. A ously the horse and it's

  96. Rider. He has thrown into the sea.

  97. So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea.

  98. Then they went out into the Wilderness of shur and they went

  99. three days in the wilderness and found no water, three days in

  100. the desert, in the wilderness and found no water.

  101. Now we're going to see what's in these people began to come out.

  102. Now when they came Tamara, they could not drink the Waters of

  103. marah for they were bitter. This is, this is a picture.

  104. Sure of their hearts therefore the name of it was called Maria.

  105. Now, Mara means bitter, angry, discontented and heavy, bitter,

  106. angry, discontented, and heavy verse 24 says, and the people

  107. complained against Moses saying, what shall we drink?

  108. So he cried out to the Lord and the Lord showed him a tree,

  109. y'all are trees telling you when he cast it into the water, the

  110. water. Waters were made sweet.

  111. There were made made a statue there.

  112. He made a statute and an ordinance for them.

  113. And their, he tested them and said, if you diligently heed the

  114. voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight.

  115. Give ear to his Commandments and keep all his statutes.

  116. I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on

  117. the Egyptians for. I am the Lord who heals you,

  118. Jehovah Rapha the first time. He's mentioned it right there.

  119. Then they came to elim were there were 12 Wells of water and

  120. 70 palm trees so they camped there by the waters.

  121. Now, this Wilderness is a place of Mara where there was Bitter

  122. Water, this Wilderness at time, you know, they're their Trek to

  123. the promised land was an eleven-day journey, and it took

  124. them 40 years and and many, many, many Believers are in this

  125. position. I'm, I'm born again.

  126. I'm going to heaven. Jesus lives in my heart, but

  127. then, when God wants to touch him.

  128. When, when, when we've got two right here, where it says, if

  129. if, if you'll diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God,

  130. and you'll do all his statutes. If you will, when it's time for

  131. us to, if you will, when it's time for us to allow him to

  132. touch, When it's time for him to allow us, you know, allow him to

  133. deal with those those things that are uncomfortable,

  134. sometimes, then it is easier for us to keep our Wilderness

  135. thinking and and go ahead and take us 40 years around the same

  136. mountains that we've been going around year after year, after

  137. year. After year, the same

  138. strongholds, the same ways of thinking God wants us free, he

  139. wants us whole. He is your healer.

  140. Listen, he didn't set you free and get you born again and then

  141. say, now, I need you to go see a psychologist because you got

  142. issues. Know, the scripture actually

  143. says, out of the heart out of the heart are the issues of

  144. life. Out of the hearts.

  145. So now that you're born again. Now, that that you're in the

  146. kingdom of God, he says, now, let me mend, you Now that me

  147. touch you. Now let me heal and form this

  148. morning, I was looking back you know really on his faithfulness

  149. in my own life and looking back where, you know, I wasn't

  150. married to Pastor Mike at the time.

  151. I did not know anybody when I went to Rhema.

  152. I did not have anybody, that was, you know, like right there

  153. a pastor, Right By My Side to say, girl, you got issues you

  154. need to deal with this. You need to let go.

  155. I touched it. I didn't have that, but God led

  156. me. He led me through the desert.

  157. He led me through the Wilderness and that's why I say you guys

  158. wear your, we're so blessed. You get the, the fullness of the

  159. word, the teaching of God, the move of the Holy Ghost here, and

  160. there's no reason that we ought not to be coming out of the

  161. wilderness. There's no reason that we ought

  162. not to be transformed in our, in our minds and be free.

  163. Does he care about your emotions?

  164. He does if he didn't, he wouldn't promise to give you Joy

  165. and promise to give you peace. Now, those are not just merely

  166. emotions. We know that they are a

  167. spiritual force, their thus, the fruits of the spirit that are

  168. within you, but if you've got issues and in your heart, you're

  169. going to reject them. You're going to be hardened,

  170. you're going to be calloused. And when God's trying to get you

  171. in the joy of the Lord and the peace that surpasses all

  172. understanding, you're not ready for it.

  173. And you don't want it because you want to hold on to the that

  174. hurt and that pain, and that somebody did me wrong.

  175. And and someone that broke my heart.

  176. Listen, your parents. And your upbringing is the the

  177. number. One reason why people have

  178. issues in the heart and that was the devil's tactic from the

  179. beginning is to destroy the family.

  180. And that's why in Malachi says, why did I make them one?

  181. Why did I make marriage one for Godly offspring?

  182. So, if he can keep the marriages from being one, if he can keep

  183. the husbands and wives broken themselves, even if they stay

  184. together, then then The Godly Offspring is greatly affected

  185. and the end their, their, their love tanks are not full and

  186. they're, they're not confident in who they are in Christ.

  187. And so God wants us to be whole us to be complete.

  188. He's Jehovah Rapha the Lord. That heals the law.

  189. Lord that restores. Okay, Hallelujah.

  190. So the bitter water. Here was a reflection of their

  191. hearts. I didn't know what to title this

  192. but I said from bitter too, sweet.

  193. Because we're going to not only go from bitter too sweet but we

  194. need to help other people go from bitter too.

  195. Sweet and their lives. So first Peter 3, let me just

  196. mention this. It says, it says I About your

  197. hardest. What is the heart?

  198. It's the hidden man that it's a very center of your being.

  199. It is your spirit. It is if you look it up in many

  200. places that says the very seat of your emotions in your

  201. passions and your desires, it's different from the soul realm.

  202. The scripture says, the Bible separates Soul and Spirit joints

  203. and Marrow, but it does encompass your soul.

  204. Everything that happens in your spirit is affecting your the The

  205. way you think and your soul round.

  206. So when we're talking about the heart, when God's talking about

  207. the heart, this is the very core of you.

  208. This is the real, you the real, the real man, you are a spirit.

  209. You have a soul and you live in a body.

  210. And so God wants to deal, you know, the Bible talks about men,

  211. having a strong Spirit or or when a spirit is weak, it will

  212. fail them in cygnus God wants you to be strong in your heart.

  213. Strong in your spirit, man. Strong From the Inside Out.

  214. Not just coming here and being in a position to to why do I go

  215. to church? I'm here.

  216. I'm right. Listen, before you go ahead and

  217. say I'm good before you do that. I'm just asking you to please be

  218. like David. Because the Bible says that

  219. David was a man after God's heart and the scripture

  220. continually in Psalms he is constantly saying God search me

  221. God, no, my anxieties and know my thoughts and know my heart

  222. and lured. See if there is any offensive

  223. way in me and Lead Me in the way Everlasting, David was always

  224. doing that. Now, we have a, this life of

  225. faith. Earth where we stand and we

  226. believe and we speak. And we do that.

  227. But it does not mean that you can't cry out to God.

  228. You can he is your father He's your father, his mercies are new

  229. Every Morning. The scripture says and like

  230. David we can say God you see My Heart Lord you know that that my

  231. heart is hurting in that area. Father I'm opening my heart to

  232. you, touch it, mended I forgive. I release my faith now I'm

  233. trusting you to heal. I'm trusting you to men many

  234. times we as Believers will. Yeah, I forgave, I did.

  235. I forgave and that's good. You spoke it and you forgave by

  236. faith. Most likely because your

  237. emotions were I forgive your emotions.

  238. May not have been there at all, but your job is to forgive by

  239. faith and then stay God. Now, you heal, you meant, you

  240. restore my heart. You know what's going on in my

  241. heart? Because it's only going to hurt

  242. you. It's only going to eventually

  243. kill you and affect your body. Okay, I'm getting ahead of

  244. myself so because because the heart is the root of the

  245. problem. The scripture says in Jeremiah,

  246. we're going to read it in a minute that the heart is

  247. deceitful above all things and desperately wicked.

  248. You know, it says that about the heart, but then he says, but I

  249. the Lord, don't worry, I the Lord search the heart.

  250. No worries. He'll help you, he's the one who

  251. will guide you, he's the one I look back.

  252. Back on my path of healing. And it was just the Holy Ghost

  253. when I when I you know, put the joint down and said here I am

  254. then then he said for me to go to, I knew there was a Bible

  255. bookstore in our town. I went there, I found a, it was

  256. a Kenneth Copeland who I didn't even know who that was at

  257. Kenneth, Copeland devotional that was called from Faith to

  258. Faith and he said, get that one. I just knew I just knew and I

  259. was just learning how to hear him.

  260. You know, it just seemed right. It just what you know and when

  261. we were at Rhema he called it your seamer just seems right,

  262. just seems right. So I seemed right for me to get

  263. that. I went home, I found my Bible

  264. and I pulled out this Faith to Faith devotional and just day by

  265. day, day by day, day by day, just read it.

  266. And just just let the word wash me and that's what it'll do.

  267. It'll wash you. And to think let me go back

  268. because I was saying, if you think you're good, please be

  269. like David this this process will never end and you can

  270. rejoice in it because it's not laborious.

  271. The scripture says his yoke is easy and his burden is light, so

  272. I'll allow him. You know, is once you've been

  273. delivered and once you, you know, he's set you free and

  274. you've tasted. I'm telling you, once you Have

  275. been delivered from some things that that was was not good at

  276. once you've been delivered and he set your feet on Solid Ground

  277. and you've tasted and you've seen that the Lord is good.

  278. You don't want to go back. So I would say to you if you

  279. haven't tasted and there's not something in you.

  280. That knows he's my only thing. He's My All In.

  281. All I can't live without him. I can't breathe without him.

  282. I can't do anything without it, if you're not in that.

  283. A position then. I asked you to search your

  284. heart, because maybe there's a little area of Pride there,

  285. because the scripture says, the man who trusts in his own heart,

  286. as a fool. It's a fool, so don't trust in

  287. your own heart. But trust your God.

  288. Who knows your heart? To minister to heal and to mend,

  289. amen. So your heart is a field.

  290. It's a field where the seed is, sown the seed of the word, you

  291. know, he says I'm going to write the law in their hearts.

  292. I'm going to put it in their hearts.

  293. Let me go to you at Matthew Chapter 13 real quick.

    Matthew 13 chapter mention

  294. This, the parable of the sower it says on the same day Jesus

  295. went out of the house and sat by the Sea and the great multitudes

  296. were gathered together to him so that he got into a boat and sat

  297. and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

  298. Then he spoke many things to them in Parables saying, behold

  299. A sower went out to sow and as he sowed some seeds fell by the

  300. wayside and the birds came and devoured them devoured.

  301. Them some fell on Stony places. This is, these are pictures of

  302. our hearts where they did not have much Earth and they emit

  303. immediately sprang up because they had no depth of Earth.

  304. But when the sun was up and they were scorched they and because

  305. they had no root, they withered away and some fell among thorns

  306. and the Thorns sprung up and choked them.

  307. But others fell on, good ground and yielded, a crop, some

  308. hundredfold, some sixty, some Thirty, he who has ears, let him

  309. hear. And the disciples came and said

  310. to him, why do you speak to them in Parables and he answered and

  311. he said to them because it has been given to you to know the

  312. mysteries of the Kingdom. Mm of heaven, but to them, it

  313. has not been given for whoever has to him, it more will be

  314. given and he will have an abundance, but whoever does not

  315. have to him more, will be get, whoever does not have even what

  316. he has will be taken from him. Therefore, I speak to them in

  317. Parables because seeing they do not.

  318. Now, listen to this, I speak to them in Parables Parables,

  319. because seeing they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear,

  320. nor do they understand and And in them, the prophecy of Isaiah

  321. is to fill, which says hearing you will hear and shall not

  322. understand and seeing you will see and not perceive listen to

  323. verse 15 for the hearts of his people have grown dull.

  324. The hearts of his people have grown dull, their ears are hard

  325. of hearing and their eyes, they have closed.

  326. This is his people, the hearts of his people have grown dull,

  327. the ears are hard to are hard of hearing and the eyes they have

  328. closed lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their

  329. ears lest they should understand with their hearts turn so that I

  330. should heal them. M.

  331. And with their hearts turn so that I should heal them many

  332. times we as Believers have learned to cope.

  333. We have learned to suppress. Our emotions we've learned to

  334. cover over our hearts in ways that we don't want God to touch.

  335. And to, to, to minister to does he understand, does he see,

  336. does? He know, he does.

  337. And thank God, he went through it, so that you could be free

  338. from it, Isaiah 53, Verses 4, and 5.

    Isaiah 53:4

  339. It says he was despised. That means he was counted as

  340. worthless. He was despised and rejected a

  341. Man of Sorrows acquainted with deepest grief, deepest grief,

  342. There's no grief that he can't touch.

  343. We turned our backs on him and look the other way.

  344. He was despised and we didn't care.

  345. Yet, it was our weaknesses. He carried it was our

  346. weaknesses. He carried, he's Jehovah Rapha.

  347. It was our weaknesses. He carried, he carried your

  348. weaknesses. It was our sorrows, our sorrows

  349. that weighed him down our sicknesses and our sorrows in

  350. our sadness. And we thought his troubles were

  351. a punishment from God a punishment for his own sins but

  352. he was pierced for our Rebellion crushed for our Our sins.

  353. He was beaten so that we could be whole.

  354. Remember, Jehovah? Rapha is wholeness completeness.

  355. He was beaten so that we could be whole he was whipped so that

  356. we could be healed. Spiritually, physically, and

  357. emotionally in every Arena of your lives.

  358. So then why are there so many Believers why?

  359. Why are there so many Believers that steal?

  360. You see them going around the same the same mountains.

  361. They can come in here and and it's easy to come in here in

  362. this atmosphere. For all of us.

  363. I love the corporate anointing and you need the corporate

  364. anointing. You need to be up underneath

  365. this anointing and, and in this anointing bondages are broken.

  366. It happens, and it's real. And there's a joy here and

  367. there's a piece here, but we Hard not to be like Saul who had

  368. David come and and play for him, because it caused the demons to

  369. go away. But then when David left you

  370. there, he was still in that same spot.

  371. We can't come in here and be like saw and glory to God glory

  372. glorious. Hallelujah.

  373. You know, we're like song and I feel good and its presence and

  374. he is mighty and he is awesome. Hallelujah, Glory Glory and then

  375. you walk out of here and husband, I told you, you know,

  376. or whatever. You know I mean there there's

  377. anger in you. There's bitterness in, you

  378. there's there's hurt and you there's Brokenness and you

  379. there's there's things in you that God wants to touch.

  380. He didn't want you to be Snappy and have ugly looks on your

  381. faces. He doesn't want that.

  382. We ought to have joy at home. We are to have peace at home.

  383. I got sickles really tickled at my husband last night because we

  384. were watching what he got. Tickled at me about something

  385. too. But I don't tell mine all the

  386. time we were watching, Remember the Titans.

  387. And and at the at the end of a walk Amber what part it was.

  388. But it They're going to state championship.

  389. So, it wasn't when, you know, there was a sad part at all, it

  390. was just a, you know, a motivational moment and I, he

  391. was trying to talk. He was doing role play for the

  392. girls while we were watching it. And so he was doing a roleplay,

  393. no sun is low voice cracked and he and he was teary, he's guilty

  394. right now, but he's he's so passionate about winning, you

  395. know, it was a winning in the king.

  396. Love God and he could coach a football team.

  397. I'm telling you to and winning on the football field and it's

  398. just seeing them, you know, it's just animate just you know, it's

  399. just there and I just died because I love him.

  400. I love that about him because I need that passion because

  401. sometimes I'll be like, I'm not doing that today and, you know,

  402. working out or whatever. And he helps me, he helps

  403. strengthen me. And ants.

  404. Come on, baby. You got this and he'll speak the

  405. word to me and encouraged me as a coach.

  406. He A good one, but but we need to have be able to laugh if I'm

  407. locked up with him, then I wouldn't be laughing with him.

  408. If he and I weren't. Okay.

  409. Then I'd be like, what is wrong with you?

  410. You know? But but you want to be right at

  411. home and this is really relevant to whether you're married or

  412. not. This is, are you right with God?

  413. Are you right in your heart? Have you allowed him in those

  414. secret places in the shower, when you washing your armpits,

  415. have you allowed him to to wash you?

  416. To touch you to minister to you. Because that you are, you are

  417. told to be naked and not ashamed before him.

  418. And that's not physically. But that is spiritually that we

  419. are completely bare. He sees it all anyway, you can't

  420. hide it from him. Psalms 147 3, Psalms 147. 3 says

  421. he healeth the broken and heart. And bind us up their wounds or

  422. he heals the Brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

  423. That word broken means broken down, crushed maimed, and it

  424. means a shattered. Heart wounds means you've been

  425. pained, hurt injured, you have sorrow.

  426. You've got, you've been grieved. You're worried displeased hurt

  427. along the lines, and some Ashen God desires to touch those

  428. things. True, true change happens in the

  429. heart. So how do we do this?

  430. Psalms 139 verses, 23 and 24 again.

  431. Search me thoroughly o God and know.

  432. My heart. Try me and know, my thoughts and

  433. see if there's any wicked or hurtful way in me and Lead Me in

  434. the way Everlasting. Psalms 26 to says, examine Me O.

  435. Lord and prove me test my Heart and my mind test my heart and my

  436. mind, Psalms 51 6. It says behold you desire truth

  437. in the inward parts and in the hidden part you'll make me to

  438. know wisdom. You desire truth in the inward

  439. Parts. Listen, if you allow the if you

  440. allow God to touch you and Mandy I'm telling you only he can do

  441. it and the whole that's why the Holy Ghost is here, that's why

  442. he's here. He is the spirit of truth.

  443. And the scripture says he searches And he knows the heart

  444. of man and in 1st Corinthians it to a says, who knows that the

  445. spirit of the man except the man, you know your heart.

  446. You know what's in there and and allow God and I'm telling you it

  447. is not always easy but as you grow with him you know that if I

  448. don't deal with that, it is not good for me.

  449. I will. I know I will shrink back.

  450. I know, I will lose my joy. I know I will lose my peace.

  451. I know that God's always wanting to deal right now.

  452. God's ministering to administering to me about

  453. something. I know, he's just tweaking, some

  454. on the inside of it. I told my husband, there's

  455. something here with this. I need to die.

  456. Need to deal with that, and I want to deal with it.

  457. I want him to I know where he's brought me from, and I had

  458. nothing in me. Wants to go back and there's

  459. nothing for you there. He has given you greatness and

  460. and and provision and everything that he is Jehovah.

  461. Jireh Jehovah, Nissi Jehovah, sick, canoe, Jehovah Rapha.

  462. He's although he is everything that you need, everything that

  463. you need. There is nothing that you need,

  464. that he hasn't provided. The scripture says, he'll give

  465. you everything you need for life and for godliness.

  466. He'll give you everything you need.

  467. So all you need is him. That's all we need is him.

  468. Hallelujah. Okay.

  469. Did I read Psalms 51 6? Yes, you desire.

  470. Truth in the inward Parts. Jeremiah 17 verses 5 through 10.

    Jeremiah 17:5–10

  471. It says thus says the Lord cursed is the man who trusts in

  472. man and makes flesh his strength.

  473. We just mentioned that whose heart departs from the Lord for

  474. he shall be like a shrub in the desert and shall not see you

  475. when good comes but shall inhabit.

  476. The parts places in the wilderness and assault land

  477. which is not inhabited. Blessed is the man though.

  478. Hallelujah. Who trusts in the Lord and whose

  479. hope is the Lord for he shall be you here you are this tree for

  480. he shall be like a tree planted. Planted By the Waters which

  481. spreads out its roots by the river and will not fear when

  482. heat comes. Listen if you're if God is on

  483. your side and and you're trusting in Him, truly from your

  484. heart, there's no fear. God said he didn't give you a

  485. spirit of fear and if you're made perfect in love, then you

  486. won't have fear if you're made perfect in his love.

  487. So it says this Is tree planted By the Waters which spreads its

  488. roots out by the river and will not fear when he comes.

  489. But it's Leaf will be green and will not be anxious in the year

  490. of drought nor will cease nor will cease from yielding fruit.

  491. We should never cease from yielding fruit.

  492. The the scripture says, even in old age that will bear much

  493. fruit, verse 9. The heart is deceitful above all

  494. things, and desperately wicked, who can know it.

  495. I The Lord search the heart. I test the mind even to give

  496. every man, according to his ways, according to the fruit of

  497. his doings, eventually, what's in your heart, out of the

  498. abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and out of the

  499. treasure your heart. You're going to bear that fruit

  500. eventually. What's in your heart will come

  501. out? So, I'm 34 verse 17 and 18, says

  502. the righteous cry out in the Lord hears.

  503. And delivers them out of all their troubles.

  504. He's Jehovah rough. It's not just physical healing.

  505. He delivers you out of all of your troubles.

  506. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and he saved

  507. such that have a contrite spirit, he brings healing to the

  508. bitter Waters, amen. Now, let me say this many

  509. physical ailments are issues that we have physically are a

  510. result of a broken heart. Many times, not always, there

  511. are, there are two ways that the Devil comes to you and in one of

  512. them is just by intrusion, you know, he's Diablo.

  513. He just, he lb Z, lb Z lb, Z lb until he can get in.

  514. And you, you could be dealing with sickness because it's an

  515. attack and he's just trying to put cygnus on you or he's just

  516. brought an attack of something. He's just trying to get into

  517. your life, but your heart. Is good and right and you're

  518. allowing God to deal with you, but the other way that he comes

  519. is through legal grounds legal access, it's either intrusion,

  520. he has no right. And we take dominion over him

  521. and he has no place in. If you're sick, will lay hands

  522. on you and you'll be healed and you can get in faith and get

  523. healed yourself. If it's an attack, then get that

  524. thing off of you. But if there's legal grounds,

  525. that you've given him, then you better be like David and say,

  526. God searched me. Now legal grounds can be there.

  527. There's multiple things, it can be because you're living in sin.

  528. That is an open door. It's an open door, it's legal

  529. access for the devil to come in, and get a foothold, and he will,

  530. and he'll take every opportunity.

  531. He can so-so. You're living in sin and

  532. Disobedience, you've given him legal access and that's why

  533. things are consistently happening wrong.

  534. Another way, that that he has legal access is through

  535. unforgiveness. If there's unforgiveness in your

  536. heart, you know, the scripture says forgive so that your father

  537. in Heaven can forgive you. In Mark chapter 11, right?

    Mark 11 chapter mention

  538. Above that is where it says speak to the mountain, you know.

  539. And command the This mountain to move and if you believe in your

  540. heart and you say it with your mouth and you tell that mountain

  541. to move that it has to move. And then right under it says,

  542. now if you have unforgiveness I mean there's a reason that

  543. scriptures there because some people like to just that I'm

  544. going to speak to this mountain, has to move.

  545. Hallelujah! And and they've got

  546. unforgiveness in their heart and and many sicknesses are a result

  547. of legal access. So sin and forgiveness,

  548. emotional trauma, broken heartedness pain that has

  549. happened, you know, from your childhood or, or something

  550. that's happened along the way that they, that you have not

  551. been healed of, and you continue to rehearse that thing and

  552. rehearse, that thing, and rehearse that thing and you're

  553. giving him legal access to continue to pour on the

  554. depression. And Pour on the Brokenness and

  555. pour on the hurt and he will, he will, he is constantly shooting

  556. fiery darts, but if you're in right position, the Bible says,

  557. you can extinguish all of them, every one of them.

  558. So, Saint and forgiveness, emotional, trauma that God wants

  559. to heal, I'm telling you and divorce is one.

  560. Divorce, brings emotional hurt, and pain and Trauma to not only

  561. the husband and wife, but the children, the the parents of the

  562. the spouses, the the people that are friends around it brings

  563. trauma, God wants to heal those things.

  564. He desires to feel those things, another way that you could give

  565. him legal access is through inner vows or judgments.

  566. You know, the scripture says not to judge and not to We're but

  567. let your yes. Be yes and your no be no but

  568. what is that? I'll explain I'll give you a

  569. personal example, an inner vow down a judgment, many of us do

  570. this and and we don't realize until it's been enlightened to

  571. us at. Wow, I've done that when I was

  572. young and and my parents went through a divorce and I watched

  573. my mom, you know, she really suffered daily with depression

  574. and and different things. And, and in my heart I said

  575. that'll never happen to me. No man will ever hurt me and

  576. what that did was it built these huge walls up in my heart and it

  577. caused me to respond fleshly from then on because I'll keep

  578. my little distance. And any boy, I dated I dumped

  579. them before they dumped me, that was for sure.

  580. Because no, you don't think you're going to trim.

  581. Upon my little achy breaky heart, I'll dump you.

  582. I'll let you go before it happens.

  583. So we build up these these fortresses, man, we build them

  584. up because we've made an inner judgment that my, you know, I my

  585. dad was an alcoholic, but my dad who, you know, if your dad was

  586. alcoholic, I'll never do that. I hate him for that.

  587. And then why do you see the same things happening?

  588. Generationally Because not only is there unforgiveness but

  589. they've made an inner judgment towards their father that they

  590. haven't released and they haven't forgiven and it's huge.

  591. And you you listen, this is not a, this is not a.

  592. Let me go, you know, home and just get in sackcloth and Ashes

  593. and is Wailing weep and God, I'm horrible but it is like David.

  594. Just Trust the Holy Ghost and just always be in a position to

  595. say, God, you see my heart. You'll show me.

  596. I'm trusting you to heal and to mend, this is you God, I'm naked

  597. before you. I do what you need to do.

  598. I received the word I received the correction.

  599. I receive those things that I know it's life to me.

  600. So, so, sin and forgiveness, emotional trauma.

  601. Broken heartedness inner vows and judgments and then

  602. generational curses there are real thing and and and I'm not

  603. trying to be super spiritual. But we we ought to know and be

  604. aware not be ignorant of the devil's devices and the things

  605. that he does. And there are generational

  606. things that are that are passed down from the father's to the

  607. children. And, and that's why we as

  608. believers Believers need to be passing down the spiritual

  609. Heritage to our kids because if not, you're passing something to

  610. them, what is it? And if there's if the you have

  611. any leading or any sense that there are, there has been a

  612. generational curse that's that's happened, throughout your

  613. family. And, and you see it happening

  614. and your cousins and aunts. And, you know, all these people,

  615. you see the same cycle, the same thing begin to buy.

  616. That thing up for them but you the blood of Jesus, stop that

  617. thing. It cut that thing off.

  618. So don't continue to yield to those mindsets.

  619. Don't continue to yield to those things on the inside.

  620. So we either have allowed him to come in or it's just an attack

  621. by the enemy. And that's why why are believers

  622. sick and why when we're dealing with people with sickness or,

  623. you know, when cancer comes, or when things come we have to

  624. First examine, we just don't go running lay hands on them and

  625. and you know, right it's first. What is the Holy Ghost saying

  626. What is the Lord saying? Because he knows, he knows the

  627. hearts of man. He knows what's in there.

  628. And so I tell you don't just because you're you're a

  629. born-again spirit filled believer and you're in a great

  630. church. Don't just think I got this.

  631. I'm good. You always always, always be in

  632. a position to say, God, I trust you and I'm yielded to you and

  633. he'll always lead. You always he'll always guide

  634. you Proverbs 14. 30 says. As sound, heart is life to the

  635. body. Hallelujah.

  636. A sound. Heart is life to the body, but

  637. Envy is rottenness to the bones. Let me read it into other

  638. translations and New Living says, a peaceful heart leads to

  639. a healthy body peaceful heart. Let me read it to you in the

  640. Amplified a calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and

  641. health of the body. But Envy jealousy and wrath are

  642. like rottenness of the bones. He's Jehovah Rapha.

  643. We've got allow him to set us free and Deliver us in our

  644. hearts. That word sound, a sound heart

  645. means a healthy, heart, a cured heart, as sound and complete

  646. heart. I read, I quoted this to you.

  647. I just have a couple of scriptures to and I quote of

  648. this to you, but let me read it. Corinthians chapter 2 verses 9

  649. through 12 says but as it is written Eye Has Not Seen Nor Ear

  650. heard nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which

  651. God has prepared for those who love him.

  652. But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit.

  653. Listen for the spirit searches all things.

  654. Yes, the Deep things of God for what man knows the things of the

  655. man, except the spirit of the man.

  656. Man that is in him even so no one knows the things of God,

  657. except the spirit of God. Now we have received not the

  658. spirit of the world but the spirit who is from God that we

  659. might know the things that have been freely given to us by the

  660. Lord. You know, the scripture says

  661. where the spirit of the Lord is there's liberty, there's

  662. Freedom. So I say to you and I'm going to

  663. I'm going to close with Isaiah 61 Chelsea if you want to come

  664. and maybe a couple more after that.

  665. I say this to you if you will not be like the scripture that

  666. says they have a form of godliness but denying the power

  667. thereof. There are many, many, many to

  668. many that have a form of godliness.

  669. And and think more about their Ministry or their how spiritual

  670. they are, then allowing the power.

  671. The same power that raised Christ from the dead to heal and

  672. to minister and to touch their hearts.

  673. Isaiah 61 says The spirit of the Lord God is upon me.

  674. Now, this is talking about Jesus, but it also is for us.

  675. And for us in ministering to others, the spirit of the Lord

  676. God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to preach Good,

  677. Tidings to the poor. He has sent me.

  678. Listen to this. He has sent me to heal, the

  679. brokenhearted to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and the

  680. open opening of the prison to those who are bound to Proclaim.

  681. I'm the acceptable year of the Lord, the day of Vengeance of

  682. our God, to comfort all who mourn to comfort, all who mourn

  683. to console those who mourn in Zion to give them Beauty for

  684. Ashes. The oil of joy, for mourning,

  685. the Garment of Praise for a spirit of heaviness.

  686. Man, I implore you today, if you have heaviness He wants to give

  687. you a spirit of praise for that that they may be called Trees of

  688. Righteousness. The planting of the Lord, that

  689. he may be glorified. Let me read in the Amplified,

  690. the spirit of the Lord, God is upon me because the Lord has

  691. anointed and qualified me to preach the gospel of Good

  692. Tidings to the meek, the poor, the afflict.

  693. He sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted.

  694. He did this for you. He always does this for you and

  695. then he's anointed you to go help others.

  696. Get free to bind up and heal. The brokenhearted to Proclaim

  697. Liberty to the physical and spiritual captives, and the

  698. opening of the prison, and the eyes to those who are bound to

  699. proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, the year of his favor,

  700. and the day of Vengeance of our God to comfort all who mourn to

  701. Grant. Consolation, and joy, to those

  702. who, Mourn in Zion to give them an ornament, a Garland, a diadem

  703. of beauty instead of Ashes. Hallelujah, thank you Father.

  704. Thank you, Lord Beauty instead of Ashes.

  705. Glory Beauty and said of Ashes. Thank you, Father, Beauty and

  706. said of Ashes, the oil of Joy. Instead of mourning, a Garment

  707. of Praise instead of a heavy and burdened and failing spirit that

  708. they may be called Oaks of righteousness, lofty and strong

  709. and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness and Justice and

  710. right standing with God, the planting of the Lord, that he

  711. would be glorified. That he would be glorified that

  712. he would be glorified. Thank you.

  713. Lord. Psalm 62. 8 says, just trust in

  714. and lean on and rely on and have confidence in him at all times.

  715. You people pour out your hearts before him.

  716. God is a refuge for us, a fortress and a high tower and

  717. let me end with Psalms 18. It says I will love You O Lord

  718. my Drink with the Lord is my rock, he's my Fortress and my

  719. deliverer, my God, my strength in whom, I trust my shield, and

  720. the Horn of my salvation, my stronghold he wants you to let

  721. go of the the other strongholds. He wants to be your stronghold.

  722. He is your stronghold. He wants you to hold strongly.

  723. To him. Hold on, hold on to him, hold

  724. strong to him. In Jesus name, I'll call upon

  725. the Lord, who is worthy to be praised and I'll be safe for my

  726. enemies. You know, an accident says that

  727. the body was of one, heart, one heart and one soul for us to be

  728. able to do the, the Autumn and mighty things that he has in

  729. store for us. He's already doing.

  730. It but for us to do the the full capacity of what he's called us

  731. to do, we need to be in one heart.

  732. We need to be in one Soul. We need to allow God to deal in

  733. to touch and to minister to you and those heavy places, those

  734. places that need to be touched. And I'm going to tell you just

  735. like surgery and just like it says in John 15.

  736. It says he wants to cut those things off.

  737. Off. But it's so that you can bear

  738. more fruit. Off.

  739. But it's so that you can bear more fruit.
