-
You're listening to a message to go from acts Church.
-
We hope this message will light up your tea.
-
I want to share with you two keys. Two keys,
-
Believe and confess. Now you can imagine as I'm waiting
-
for God to heal me, as I'm sitting at home praying,
-
my quiet time has gone up quite significantly. I find
-
myself spending two and a half three hours with the
-
Lord every morning. This morning, I knew that I had
-
to come here earlier, so I woke at it four
-
and finish at six. And the Lord has been just
-
so good to me. I don't have the strength to
-
do this, you know, if it's not for the Lord. So,
-
but the grace of God is very very wonderful to
-
spend time in his presence, because in his presence there
-
is fullness of joy, there is peace, there is.
-
Yeah, there is a joy. The joy of the Lord
-
is our strength.
-
And so you can imagine the Lord dropping me any
-
messages in my spirit.
-
But the messages are not just for you.
-
No, is for me first, So my own heart, it's
-
for my own mind, it's for my own health, not
-
just physical health, but spiritual health, emotional health, mental health.
-
Amen.
-
So let's read the Word of God is found in
-
Romans ten, and we're gonna read eight to thirteen. First, okay,
-
Romans ten, eight to thirteen. Let's read the Word of God.
-
But what does it say? The Word is near you
-
in your mouth and in your heart. That is the
-
word of faith which we preach. Please remember is the
-
word of faith that if you confess with your mouth
-
the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God
-
has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
-
You will be saved, for with the heart one believes
-
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
-
Let's read on, for the scripture says whoever believes on
-
Him will not be put to shame.
-
Can I hear? Good?
-
Amen?
-
You will not be put to shame.
-
I will not be put to shame if we will
-
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. For there is no
-
distinction between jew and greed. So there's no favoritism, no favoritism.
-
Anyone here who believes and confesses will see the redemptive
-
power of God at work. For the same Lord overall
-
is rich to all who call upon him. For whoever
-
calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
-
Can I hear good Amen? Believe and confess, believe and call.
-
Now I have discovered that these two keys doesn't just
-
work for salvation and righteousness. It works for anything that
-
you desire in the Lord, including healing. And sometimes some
-
things don't become, don't manifest, don't get answered because of
-
the lack of these two things in our lives. A belief,
-
a real true belief in your heart that this will
-
happen what you're praying for. And number two a confession,
-
a confession, believe and confess. These are keys to experiencing
-
the more of God.
-
Can I hear a good Amen?
-
Now, let's talk about this word redemptive for a while,
-
because some of you may understand it, some of you
-
may not. I'm sure you understand the word redeem. I'm
-
sure you've gone to the supermarket and the department store
-
and redeem a voucher, all right.
-
It is actually an exchange.
-
You've got to take that voucher or whatever it is
-
that someone gave you, and they will tell you go
-
to that counter, fourth floor, whatever, customer service, and you
-
got to show, however, you have gone to that counter
-
before without the voucher, and the person said, sorry, sir,
-
I cannot.
-
Have you heard that before? I left it in my
-
mother's handbag.
-
Sir, you have to go to your mother, get it
-
from a handbag, show me the voucher, and then there
-
will be an exchange.
-
Did you hear that before? You say, but my mother
-
is in Shanghai.
-
You say, sorry, sorry, I cannot unless you show me
-
the come on voucher. My father actually has got part
-
ownership of Is it done?
-
I am so sorry, sir.
-
The rule is voucher now redeem Now everything that Jesus
-
ever did for us is called redemption, and every promise
-
or even power of that redemption has been given to us.
-
There was an exchange. Listen when you look at the
-
cross and you see Jesus hanging there.
-
He hung there for who you and me.
-
He took our sins, He took our sickness, he took
-
our disease, He took our curse. The Bible says, curse
-
it is he who hangs on the cross. So Jesus
-
became a curse. Ladies and gentlemen, good news is there
-
is a great exchange. You are no longer yourself, You
-
are now Christ in you the hope of glory. You
-
are no longer sick because he took your sickness.
-
Oh, thank you so much. Suddenly there's a voice.
-
Yeah, this guy's no up says that I get passionate,
-
and I start preaching and the volume is not strong enough.
-
I start losing my voice, and then the second service
-
doesn't get anything.
-
Halley, and if you asked that to watch the video Halleliah,
-
praise God everything.
-
I'm no longer say, come on, turn your neighbors said,
-
I'm no longer curse. So don't go around saying I
-
think I'm cursed. I think I'm cursed. No, Jesus took
-
your curse. Do you understand there was an exchange. You
-
don't go away with a voucher. You know, the voucher
-
is kept by the guy that took it, and then
-
he gives you the gift. The free gift of eternal
-
life is found in Jesus Christ. I'm no longer disease.
-
You know this one that I have right now in
-
the boot is temporary. Permanently I have been healed. So
-
let's look at this other scripture Galatians two twenty.
-
I have been crucified with Christ. This is the word
-
of God.
-
It is no longer I who live, Come on people,
-
no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
-
This is called the redemptive power. You have been redeemed
-
and the life which I now live. See I underline
-
what I underline now, the life that you now live.
-
Maybe you're sad now. Maybe you are in a boot now.
-
Maybe you are in a crutch now, maybe you are
-
you are having a sore throat now, maybe you are
-
sad because something happened in your family.
-
Now.
-
The life that I now live in the flesh I
-
live by faith. The now doesn't dictate the truth that
-
I am healed. The now doesn't dictate the truth I
-
have already been blessed.
-
Are you asked you with me?
-
That's why the Bible tells us to believe and confess,
-
because if you just use your own naked eye, you
-
only see your own present situation.
-
Are you asked you with me?
-
You only see the I don't have money in my pocket,
-
but the Lord has. The Bible says that he became
-
poor that we might become rich. That is called the
-
redemptive power of God. So don't just look into your
-
wallet don't just look into the mirror. Now look into
-
if you want to look into any mirror, look into
-
the mirror of God's word, because.
-
This word will tell you who you really are.
-
In Christ, There's been an exchange, a divine exchange. He
-
didn't go to the cross for no reason. He went
-
in across to take your sin and mind, your sickness
-
and mind.
-
Can I hear good? Amen? I feel like I'm preaching
-
the gospel. This is the gospel.
-
This is good news every day and you wake up,
-
but doesn't have to be bad news. You and I
-
don't have to live bad news. We live the good news.
-
You say, pasta, how can you still be in a
-
boot and a cutch on your side here? And you
-
know you can't even stand how guse is good news?
-
No matter what people say. I have a reason to
-
smile because Jesus took my place. He took my place.
-
There is no reason. Listen, ladies and gentlemen, there's no
-
reason to be said today. There is no reason to
-
be said today. You gotta just understand the gospel, receive
-
the gospel, believe in the gospel. It is the good news.
-
So now I live. I live by faith and if
-
it's faith, then you have to believe and confess. You
-
know why a lot of people don't believe and confess,
-
especially confess, because how can I confess when I feel said?
-
You see, that's that's the problem. How can I confess
-
that I'm rich but I have no money?
-
You know?
-
How can I confess that my leg is you know,
-
I'm going to be running soon, I'm going to be
-
serving the Lord. I'm going to be traveling and maybe
-
in Venice is next year. You know how when when
-
we know? When, when it's painful every time I walk?
-
Are you with me?
-
The now that I live, and now that I live,
-
I live by faith. You must have faith. We are
-
called to live by faith, to walk by faith and
-
not by side Second Corinthians five seventeen or seven. Second
-
Corinthians five seven. We are to walk by faith, everybody
-
here with me in who the Son of God? Not
-
just faith in anything, not faith in what Oprah infrees it,
-
not faith in what doctor Phil said, faith in Christ alone, everybody. Okay,
-
let's not talk about righteousness and salvation, because the Bible says,
-
if you believe, it is untrue righteousness.
-
And if you confess this unto salvation.
-
Are you ready at least these two things you can
-
claim today?
-
What is righteousness?
-
Righteousness is right standing before God. Righteousness is the right
-
relationship with God. Righteousness is to be aligned with God's
-
will and God's plan.
-
This is righteousness. Now.
-
The Bible says that our righteousness our own righteousness. It
-
says few fee rags. Have you heard it before? Have
-
you actually held a filthy rag? It's so smelly, you know, right, not,
-
it's so smelly you take the rag, you know. And
-
I see some people wiping the table with a filter rag.
-
And after wiping the table, the table is fel fear.
-
Yeah.
-
One time, No, not one time, maybe about five times
-
I went on an airline. I wouldn't mention which one.
-
And I, you.
-
Know, so like opened the table in front of me,
-
you know, and it's so so mainly is unbelievable, and uh,
-
I you know, you won't want to put your food
-
on it, even my hand I won't touch it. But
-
they must have been wiping because I said, uh, miss,
-
you know, so the flight attendant comes and says, yes,
-
I said, the table release males, Oh but we just
-
wiped it.
-
We just wiped it.
-
I said, yeah, you must have wiped it with a
-
cloth that itself needs help. Your cloth needs salvation, you know,
-
and also sorry sir. Then she goes and gets a
-
wet wipe because she probably knows that our own cloth
-
or the cloth, I mean, it's not the flight attendant
-
that wipes the it is you know, the people that
-
come up to the plane.
-
And that's all.
-
The cleaning, Yeah, the cleaning services. So she wipes and
-
after she wires it because the wet wipe has some
-
perfume on it or some fragrance. Okay, but you know,
-
our righteousness is as filthy rex. No matter how hard
-
you try to be righteous, it's still going to smell.
-
God is gonna go like, wow, you do good works. Wow,
-
you give one million ringitter to build a templar. But
-
it still smells. Because we will never be able to
-
be righteous enough. Are You're to you me?
-
So this righteousness comes from believing.
-
Jes believe, and when you believe with your heart, somebody say, heart,
-
you believe and to righteousness. This is a promise from God.
-
Someone has asked me before, how do you know, pastor
-
that you are safe? You read Romans ten nine to ten.
-
You read Romans ten, nine to ten. You will tell
-
you how to be saved. This is God's word, and
-
he says already, if you believe in your heart, there
-
will be a results.
-
What's the result? Righteousness?
-
Immediately, even if you are a murderer, you are no
-
longer a murderer by what you did. You are now
-
made righteous, not by your own words. Is a gift
-
of God. Remember the voucher, change gift. A lot of
-
you are still going back with the voucher. You still
-
want to live by the law on live by law,
-
live by grace, because salvation is by grace through faith
-
Christ alone, grace alone, faith alone. All right, I want
-
to say it in Latin, but you know I can't
-
remember all sola fide solar something christo, christ.
-
Alone, grace alone, faith alone.
-
Righteousness has come to me and to you as a
-
gift from God. Somebody say, amen, none of you had
-
to work for it. WHOA, we can't work for it.
-
So now, immediately, just because you believe, just because you
-
believe in your heart, you and I have become righteous.
-
And we have a right standing, we have a right relationship.
-
We are aligned with God.
-
We have with God.
-
Now the Bible says, this righteousness has been imputed to us.
-
Have you ever seen this word imputed to us? Do
-
you know what that means? Imputed to us? Okay, so
-
when you go home and read this scripture, I'm showing
-
you now Romans four twenty to twenty four.
-
Romans four twenty to twenty four. Let's read the word
-
of God.
-
He that is, Abraham did not waiver at the promise
-
of God through unbelief.
-
Ah, there you go again, belief, but.
-
Was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God and being
-
fully convinced that what he God had promised, he was
-
also able to perform. And therefore it was accounted. Somebody's
-
accountant accounted to Abraham for righteousness. So Abraham didn't have
-
his own righteousness. God gave it to him free gift, free.
-
Why just because Abraham believe?
-
That's it.
-
That's all it takes. Believe in your heart and you
-
get this free gift.
-
Some of you don't even understand. Huh.
-
I only gave a cheap voucher, no to this lady
-
and the counter and then she gave me, you know,
-
a tesla. You don't understand. I don't understand. Write a
-
cheap voucher. But an exchange happened. Are you alsoing me?
-
And exchange happened? You and I will never understand the
-
grace of God. But we gave nothing to God for everything.
-
Come on, we gave nothing to God for everything.
-
Amen.
-
Now he goes on to say, now it was not
-
written for his sake alone, Abraham's sake alone, that he
-
was imputed to him alone, but also imputed to us.
-
It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him
-
who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. Okay,
-
now let's look at what it means in the Greek.
-
Wow, now we're going to Greek. Now, in the Greek,
-
imputed means.
-
In the Greek, the word for imputed is loggie or
-
logi or logy somi, not lor my guy, but logic, logy,
-
som logy.
-
I say, my guy, you are hungry.
-
Logies on my logis on my means the word imputed
-
is in English logis on my is in Greek, that's
-
the original word.
-
The original word means to count or to credit.
-
You know why I love it is because to count
-
or to credit is the same family with to account.
-
So it was accounted to Abraham as righteousness. So suddenly
-
you realize the writer of Romans that we're reading from,
-
which most people believe, is the apostle Paul. The writer
-
has gone into accounting words. And he said number one,
-
because you believe it has been a counter to you.
-
If you look at your accounts, look at some of
-
your accountants here. When you look at your accounts, suddenly
-
something was credited to you that you didn't earn. Suddenly
-
you look at your accounts, it was accounted to you
-
as righteous as it was imputed, meaning her it was
-
now counted when he shouldn't be counted.
-
Have you have you played sports?
-
And then someone said, you know, they won't counted her,
-
and then the judges counted.
-
Hey, no, dear, But he said, where I can, where
-
I can.
-
And then now you have that uh what I some
-
some some some bird's eye view or whatever I write.
-
Tennis, they have it badminton. Now they have it right.
-
And then just by a whisker it was in.
-
And then even the crowd goes because it was the
-
winning point, right, and it was a birth eye view.
-
It was count count. No cannot count.
-
Count.
-
The devil says, don't count, you count means this guy's
-
gonna go to heaven.
-
But you know, not God, how many wrong things he's done.
-
And Jesus says, it doesn't matter how many wrong things
-
he's done before. It doesn't matter how many mistakes he's
-
made before. No matter doesn't matter how law he or
-
she thinks of himself.
-
I count.
-
The judge himself, the one that you and I were
-
standing in. Frant says, I count, so what? And the
-
devil says not fair? And God says, yes, I'm not fair.
-
I'm not fair.
-
I'm just don't ever think that God is fair.
-
No, there are many things He's not fair, because we
-
try to relate to fairness as if human human being fairness,
-
and the human being fairness.
-
Is not fair.
-
We have our own prejudices, our own biass. God doesn't
-
need to be fair.
-
He's just. He's just a big difference. He's just.
-
He is who he is, and he would do what
-
he wants to do right. How God is good and
-
is good all the time. He says, I counted, Devil
-
says not fair. He belongs with me in hell. And
-
God says, I've given my son Jesus Christ, and I
-
give the account I credit you know how wonderful it is.
-
You know, like you want to apply for university and
-
Salia just missed by. I don't know, just one point
-
one point right, And then you stell in front of
-
the principle who can make the decision.
-
He says, never mind, I give you that one point.
-
Never mind. I credit to you what you don't deserve.
-
I credit to you what you don't deserve.
-
How many of you in this room you have gone
-
in life knowing that you didn't deserve it, but someone
-
give you a chance. That's what you call I credit
-
to your account even though you don't deserve it. How
-
many of you know and understand? I'm certain in front
-
of you, I can tell you for sure there are
-
many things in my life. I don't deserve my salvation.
-
I don't deserve my righteousness. I don't deserve. But it's
-
being credited to you. Somebody say amen. And that's why
-
one more word, one more scripture, one more scripture, and
-
with this maybe you understand it more.
-
All have sinned, and what.
-
Fall short? Fall short? Now you understand it because your
-
accounts didn't have it. If nobody credited to you or
-
counted to you what you didn't deserve. All of us
-
will fall short. There is also an accounting term. There
-
is a financial term after this.
-
This man, I'm a.
-
Little bit shot. Don't you say that I can't sign
-
up for CAM because I'm a little bit short. They're
-
not talking about the height. No, they're not talking about
-
their height, So please do.
-
Good answer to them. But you okay with your height?
-
Is okay with are you with me?
-
No, they're not talking about their height. They're not talking
-
about anything else. They're not They're talking about I don't
-
have enough. And anyway, somebody says I will sponsor you.
-
Do you know that it's an act of grace. They
-
have Lord Jesus my you, No, Lord, I care you.
-
They have the Lord Jesus my you. They have credited
-
to your account and something you say, how come my
-
bet account? Right, that's what happens. And so yes, before
-
Jesus came, we all fell short. Oh couldn't afford heaven.
-
We all couldn't afford heaven. But then Jesus Jesus came
-
and says, hey, can you put some money into my
-
son's bad account? And then suddenly you open your account
-
book and you go to hey, didn't I you know why,
-
how come who did this for me? Suddenly you made it?
-
Suddenly you made it, Suddenly I made it, and not
-
because of our own righteousness, but because of him. Now
-
let's look at salvation. So righteousness we dealt with. I
-
hope you all understand it. It comes through believing and
-
believing with your heart. Next, light, let's deal with salvation.
-
If you confess, you will be safe, ladies in German presidence.
-
This is the Bible doesn't say you might be saved.
-
The Bible says you will be saved. Now Salvation. A
-
lot of you sometimes forget that's not just being saved
-
and getting to Heaven. Salvation actually includes three blessings in it.
-
Number one, you are part then totally forgiven. I think
-
the servant in the Bible who was forgiven a lot
-
didn't understand that he was forgiven totally because he went
-
and found another servant who owed him like zero point
-
zero zero zero zero one percent of what he was.
-
He's been pardoned, and he took the server he said,
-
pay me now, couldn't pay him, put him to prison.
-
And then the Master said, you wicked servant, I forgave
-
you so much.
-
So there are a lot of people going around not
-
understanding how much the Lord has forgiven you. I think
-
about Annoy brought him and yeah, you know, we usually
-
tell people speakers don't speak about politicians uh in in
-
our services, but I want to speak about An. I
-
brought him just for a second, because he was pardoned.
-
Do you remember this, An I brought him. Uh went
-
to prison twice, our prime minister p MX not BMX PMX, Yeah,
-
twice went to prison and would have gone again, but
-
the King then pardoned him. And when he pardoned him,
-
you know what the pardon actually uh entail. It was
-
so powerful. The pardon was as if an never ever
-
committed any crime. And that is a kind of pardon
-
God gives to us. That's why justified can be broken
-
into three words. Just as if I forwards, just as
-
if I'd never sin, just as if I'd never done
-
any wrong, just stify, just as if I never said
-
a bad word, just as if I never you know, sin,
-
just stified, just as if Kenneth has never done any wrong.
-
The pardon that God gives to us is total wipe
-
out of every past that you've ever had.
-
Can I hear a good amen? Hey, guys, you.
-
Should be getting excited because this is you and this
-
is me, and not only are you pardon totally and completely,
-
you and I are healed.
-
Can I hear good? Amen?
-
So now i might still be in a boot, but
-
I'm already healed. That's the way Christians must live. I
-
might not be able to afford whatever I need to
-
afford now, but the now life I live, I live
-
by faith in the Son of God.
-
Amen.
-
I know I'm going back to that again again because
-
I want you to understand. You must not just live
-
by your feelings. Don't just live by your feelings, live
-
by faith. Faith is the currency of heaven. If you
-
go to Japan now and you use Malaysia ring it,
-
they will not accept it. You gotta use Japanese yen.
-
Every country, every kingdom has got his own currency. And
-
when you come into the Kingdom of Heaven, the currency
-
that Heaven works by is called faith. He doesn't go
-
by pity, it doesn't go by sympathy. It doesn't go
-
by oh many tears you cry, or prayers that you
-
pray like God was not listening.
-
No good Jesus Is.
-
Don't pray repetitive prayers because repetitive prayers are not by faith.
-
So you're heal, I'm heal, and we are delivered.
-
The reason why I use pardon and not forgiveness is
-
because this PhD is something that you can remember. Salvation
-
is PhD, all right, and it comes from a doctor
-
called doctor Jesus.
-
He's our physician. Amen.
-
Now first Peter two twenty four. Let's read it very quickly,
-
who himself bought our sins in his own body on
-
the tree that we haven't died to since might live
-
for righteousness? By who stripes you are heal? Do you
-
see that in one scripture? Sins and heal is in
-
the one scripture he not only took a all our sins,
-
but by his stripes we are healed. You can also
-
see righteousness there mentioned. So that's he bore our sins.
-
He died for our sins. We die to our sins.
-
We have righteousness just by believing. And when you believe,
-
you are also here. But let me show you another
-
one Psalms one hundred and three versus one to two.
-
Bless the Lord, oh my soul. I use this almost
-
every morning. The Lord taught me recently, he says Kenneth blessed,
-
don't curse, because it's power when you bless. And so
-
bless the Lord is the first thing I do in
-
the morning. I said, Bless the Lord, oh my soul,
-
and all that is within me. Bless his holy name.
-
Bless the Lord all my soul, and forget not his benefits.
-
And what are his benefits?
-
Three? Three? Number one? Is it here? Okay? I'm not sure?
-
Better, Uh, okay, the slide is not there, all right,
-
never mind take it from me. Otherwise you can read
-
the Bible yourself from this slide. The other parts slided away.
-
Three things, Three things, all right, it's not written here,
-
but three things. Bless a lot, oh my soul, and
-
forgetting all his benefits. The first thing, the first benefit
-
is who forgives all your iniquities.
-
Forgive.
-
The second one is who heals all your diseases healing.
-
And number three is who redeems your life from destruction, deliverance, deliverance,
-
pardon or forgiveness. Healing and deliverance is part of his benefits.
-
Can I hear?
-
Good?
-
Amen?
-
Everybody, praise the Lord, hallelujah. Okay, so believe in your
-
heart is the next slide, And I'm gonna draw to
-
a close. Now. I don't want to take more than
-
ten minutes. I'm gonna speak the word, and I'm gonna
-
pray so every single day, believing for my healing. Believing
-
for my healing. The Lord said to me, Kenneth, do
-
you believe.
-
In your heart?
-
Do you really believe in your heart? You know a
-
lot of us are when we hear a message like this.
-
I find that we try to believe with our mind.
-
But the Bible doesn't say believe in your mind, So
-
sometimes we find ourselves doing this.
-
Come on, come on, believe, believe, Come on believe.
-
Come on, Pastor you said believe, you're my other personal sources,
-
I believe. You know what I turn on YouTube? You
-
know a right heart bonekay say believe you know, Billy
-
GRAHAMSA believe? Come on, believe, I you know you are.
-
Come on, No, you're you're hitting your head. Had you
-
tried that before? Come on now, you so silly? No
-
faith that you, no faith that you We're all trying
-
to get our mind convinced. And that's why Pastor YONGI Choh,
-
the late past the young Gee Cho, who was pastoring
-
the biggest church in the world eight hundred thousand people.
-
I think it was one millionairey by the time he
-
passed on. He said, I won't try the Korean accent,
-
but he said, I call this bell ly faith, bell
-
le faith, barely, barely, barely. I thought to myself. He said,
-
Korean actually is bally belly starm up faith. A lot
-
of us have to learn to have stum up faith
-
barely because too many of us. I just going in mind, Oh,
-
I heard the message again. I heard, Oh, how do
-
I do it again? And we are wanting formuless because
-
this whole world is running on formless and sometimes even principles.
-
Principle is not bad, but the principle has got to
-
go from the head to the heart. It's got to.
-
It's got to. And so I realized, even in my life,
-
there are many things that I've done by faith. It
-
was from here. And those of you are hearing on
-
the audio and don't know where I'm pointing. I'm pointing
-
to my belly. I'm pointing to my spirit man, my
-
inner man. And you know the way I started this
-
church escort to the morning, he was in my belly,
-
he was in my mind. That's why a lot of us.
-
The way we move in the mind, we don't see
-
results because he's gotta move by the Holy Spirit, and
-
the Holy Spirit.
-
Is not in your mind. The Bible doesn't say he's
-
in your mind.
-
He says, out of your belly or out of your
-
heart will flow rivers of living water, never set out
-
of your intellect. And too many of us are going intellectual.
-
And that's why God says, don't touch the tree of
-
the knowledge, knowledge of good and evil. Don't because people
-
keep going for knowledge. And knowledge is not wrong. Knowledge
-
is not wrong. But we go for knowledge first, and
-
then we try to do miracles through knowledge. Who said
-
that miracles come to knowledge. Yes, it might start there,
-
it might start there. But even if it's knowledge, let
-
the knowledge be hard knowledge.
-
I know, and I know, and I know, and I know,
-
and I know that.
-
Even if my friends no longer follow Christ, I know
-
Christ is real. I can't forsake him. I know that
-
even if God doesn't answer my prayer, even though I
-
praying for three months, Lord a miracle healing. Even if
-
he doesn't answer, he's still good, He's still my healer.
-
Barely faith you with me. And so that's why on
-
the last day that great day of the feast, Jesus
-
stood and cried out, saying, if anyone thirsts, let him
-
come to me and drink. He who believes in me,
-
come on. The word is belief in me. As the
-
scripture said, out of his heart. Another translation will say
-
out of his belly, out of his inmost being will
-
flow rivers of living water. And the next verse says,
-
he's talking about the Holy Spirit. Are you asked you
-
with me? So don't go around thinking that you will
-
have victory just because of your brain. Don't go around
-
just reading books and studying and say, oh, I've been
-
to Bible school three years and it's just brain. This
-
church was not started out of brain. And that's why
-
eight fifteen was not start up of brain. And that's
-
why now it's filling up. Because if it's of the
-
Holy Spirit, it will work. You will see results.
-
Amen.
-
So when you're prayer, you know, Passandra was asking the
-
speakers aller to try to do three kinds of message.
-
If you can, one you can touch on disciple ship,
-
two you can you gotta touch on missions, all right,
-
and three touch on prayer. That's a high colleague, you know.
-
But today I'm gonna try to do all three. I'm
-
discipling you, and I'm also teaching you how to pray.
-
Stop praying with your brains. Only pray from your inmost being. Amen,
-
Praise the Lord. Now barely faith. It's gotta come from
-
the spirit. And you know and you know when it happens.
-
Everything that's ever been done in ex Church that we
-
saw results because of barely faith, all right, because of
-
belly faith. Now I know the time is ticking and
-
we are coming close to ten. Confess with your mouth.
-
So not only believe in your heart belly face, you
-
got to confess with your mouth. Open your mouth wide open,
-
and speak it. There is a student I'm trying to
-
Minister two. He's only twelve. He told me recently that
-
all his bad habits are is because he has autism ADHD.
-
I say, who told you you had adhd? He says
-
the doctor. I say, have you seen doctor Hale, because
-
he will tell you. And sure enough I found out
-
that the parents came to see doctor Hall and doctor
-
Hole after asses saying, say that he doesn't have And
-
so I said to him, I said, trap your old
-
boy from today I always. I want you to confess.
-
I don't have ADHD. He says, no, pasecna, you don't
-
understand I'm not normal. I said, who said you're not normal?
-
And he says the doctor said. And now my mam
-
also says it ain't mine.
-
I tell you what.
-
There's so much negative confession around you. Then you become
-
what you're not. You become what you're not. So I said, okay, listen,
-
young man, travy old boy. From today onwards, you confess
-
the word of God. What does the word say you are?
-
The word says you're blessed. The word says you're heal.
-
The word says you're loved by God. The word says
-
that Jesus loved you, God's soul loved the world, that
-
he gave his only because that you confess the word.
-
Amen.
-
And he says, okay, face again, I will do that.
-
I said, don't let me hear it again. I'm gonna
-
come on Tuesday. I'm gonna watch you. You know I
-
want you because you don't understand. Change happens, even impossible.
-
Change happens when you first believe and then you confess.
-
Let me show you the next slight and see better
-
you can you can understand this if believing is the electricity,
-
confession is the switch. Do you understand, my, my dear friends,
-
when you pray, you got to understand there's something.
-
Men and women of God call the contact point.
-
All A Roberts, who who prayed for the blind to
-
see death to hear, pray for people to walk out
-
the wheel chairs.
-
Allo Roberts. He told his son, Richard Roberts this.
-
One day, Richard Roberts had got ten warts on his hand,
-
ten watts because he was playing baseball and I think
-
the glove was dirty and had virus. So he had
-
ten warts on his hands and he was very hard
-
to play baseball. And he went to his father, who
-
is a healing evangelist. He said, Dad, can you pray
-
for me?
-
The dead? Says I only need one thing from you. Faith.
-
He says, what what is faith? Papa?
-
He says, faith is a contact point, meaning to say,
-
all these lights were always here, and the electricity behind
-
those walls have always been moving.
-
But all you and I really need is to flip
-
the switch. Flip the switch, you got move fog? How
-
come no light? The light has always been here, always
-
been here.
-
Electricity no letricy, no electricy is moving behind the walls
-
like nobody's business. But why Christians don't get it on
-
is because we don't flick the switch.
-
You got.
-
It's called faith. It's called believing with your heart and
-
confessing with your mouth. So if believing is electricity, you
-
just have to turn on the switch. Confession your mouth
-
and my mouth is switched. God loves me. Switch on,
-
God cares for me.
-
Switch it on. I am victorious in Christ. Switch it on.
-
I can do all things through Christ strengthens me. Switch
-
it on.
-
The devil wants to keep you silent. That's why there's
-
a scripture. I give it to you right now. Let
-
me see why from memory some for the three verse five?
-
Why are you cast down all my soul? And why
-
are you disquieted?
-
Within me?
-
You know when your soul is cast down and you
-
are sad and you are depressed, immediately your mouth shuts up.
-
So why are you cast out on my soul? And
-
why are you disquieted?
-
With?
-
Why are you quiet? Church?
-
Hope in God? For I shall yet praise him. Praise
-
is what your mouth open up. But too many Cristians,
-
when you're down depressed, said open The devil wants to
-
keep you quiet. You open your mouth and you say,
-
I don't care how I feel. I declare I am healed,
-
and declare it every day. When you look into the mirror,
-
the devilces you are ugly, says I have been made beautiful,
-
Oh beautyfully and wonderfully made. Confess and switch on that light.
-
Don't just believe. Confess, don't just believe and have belly faith.
-
All my friends, some of you have belly faith, but
-
have missed the opportunity. Some of you knew that you
-
had to take that contract, but you didn't. Some of
-
you knew that you had to do this and that,
-
but you didn't. Some of you knew that you had
-
to serve, but you didn't.
-
You just knew.
-
Your heart said come on, come on, and you just
-
kept quiet. Don't stop at belly faith. Start to speak
-
that faith. I think I had to close because it's
-
already nine fifty six. I've got four or five more slices,
-
but I won't go there.
-
Let me just end by this.
-
I've been advised coming back to my injury. Now, of
-
the four people advice me, pastor, can Earth take more
-
calcium passica and Earth take more vitamin D take more
-
K two, take more cake. You know I'm doing this
-
because I bought a K to spray. I just pray
-
to my mouth, take more protein protein.
-
Huh.
-
So as I close, I've been advised to double my
-
intake of supplements. But as I study God's words, I've
-
also decided to cord upon my output of confession. Do
-
you understand that a lot of us are very good
-
at doubling our supplements on you? I need this, so
-
double up on fish oil double or vitamin C. But
-
I don't know why you put so much faith in
-
medicine and supplements. You got to put more faith in.
-
Jesus.
-
Jesus and to be obedient to my wife. I give
-
you one la scripture as I close is discipleship, pray
-
and missions. How then shall they call on Him in
-
whom they have not believed? Following Romans ten, verse thirteen,
-
the last verse we read, Let's go to fourteen, and
-
I read the verse and our pray? And how shall
-
they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
-
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how
-
shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written?
-
How beautiful are the feet of those oh feet, Hallelijah,
-
Come on, did you hear that you're supposed to beautiful
-
because you preach the gospel? Come on, left foot, listen,
-
you just preached the gospel. You didn't, but you are
-
recipient and you shall be beautiful. Somebody say, Amen, who
-
bring that tidings of good things? That's close. But they
-
have not all obeyed the gospel. Somebody say the gospel
-
the good news. For Isaiah says Lord, who has believed
-
our report? So then faith comes by hearing and hearing
-
by the word of God, ladies and gentlemen, brothers, he says,
-
let me close.
-
Do you know why you and I have to go
-
out for missions?
-
Go outside these on the walls and outside these doors,
-
and just preach the word. Preach to your family, Preach
-
to your friends, Tell them the word of God, tell
-
them the good news. Tell them because you know why,
-
because it is the word of God that gives them faith.
-
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
-
Every day I preach to myself, I imagine myself sitting
-
in front of you and preaching. Now, God is good.
-
Come on, no God, he will never fail us, He
-
will never forsake us. Every day in my house, I
-
preach to myself.
-
Come on, Kenneth.
-
God is good, he's your healer. He's a good God.
-
He will never leave you know for saying I'm preaching.
-
I'm preaching the word because when you hear the word
-
faith aris.
-
And then you will have belly faith. Keep on preaching.
-
If you you say pass, I still have it all
-
in my mind, Nila, I'm still struggling in my mind.
-
No, then you keep you keep on.
-
Either you hear the word, turn on you know YouTube
-
to hear the word, or you preach to yourself. Come on,
-
God is faithful. God is my savior, he is my healer. PhD.
-
I've been forgiven, I've been healed. I've been delivered. You
-
preach the word, preach the word until the head faith
-
becomes belly faith. And then when you feel it in
-
your belly stirring, you begin to open your mouth. Don't
-
let the devil close your mouth. You open your mouth.
-
I am blessed, i am healed, I'm saved. You open
-
your mouth and you speak, and you would turn your depression.
-
Into joy. You would turn your sickness into health.
-
Hallelujah. Let's get ready to pray. The Holy Spirit is here.
-
Belly faith, Believe with your heart and you will have righteousness.
-
Confess with your mouth and you will be saved. There
-
is nothing impossible for God. Can somebody say amen? Nothing,
-
no miracle, no healing, nor deliverance. Nothing is impossible. God
-
would do it here. Is there anyone in this room
-
you know you need this message to move from your
-
mind to your heart? Stand up, you say, God, I
-
don't just want this message to be in my mind
-
just in my ear. I want it to be in
-
my belly. Come on, stand up, I want it to
-
be in my heart. I want to have belly faith,
-
heart faith. If that's you you're saying, God, give me
-
that kind of faith that can move mountains. Give me
-
the kind of faith that will bring results to my prayer.
-
I don't just want to pray prayers that hit the
-
ceiling and come back. I want to pray prayers that
-
can move mountains. Come on, believe with your heart and
-
confess with your mouth. Is anyone here who needs a miracle?
-
Anyone here who needs you know, a breakthrough in your life,
-
maybe in your family, maybe in your finances. Is there
-
anyone want to trust God and even prove that God
-
is real and his true to his word, is faithful
-
to his promises. For they are yes and they are amen.
-
If that's you, lift up both hands right now.
-
Don't be shy. Don't look to your neighbor. Don't look left,
-
don't look right, don't look front, don't look back, Look
-
to Jesus. Lift up hands, holy hands, shodobo saib beyond beyond.
-
Arramaso bo bah dahiya, take carryandorobo shan da la bay
-
sailboa blah blah bay dah. I pray that that door
-
that's closed shall be open for you. If God wants
-
it to be open, it shall be open. It shall
-
not be shut anymore. In the mighty name of Jesus.
-
There's that one person who has a back ache. That
-
back ache is such a nagging back egche, it refuses
-
to leave you. Right now, in the Mighty name of Jesus.

-
and you confess with your mouth, I am healed. I
-
joined together with you, and I say in Jesus name,
-
you are healed from your back pain from this very hour.
-
In the mighty name of Jesus. There's someone here with asthma.
-
I command asthma to be broken from you in the
-
mighty name of Jesus Christ. Somebody here who have ezema
-
and you are feeling really, you know, not only uncomfortable
-
but sometimes even embarrassed about a skin problem. Well right
-
now you believe with me, believe with belly faith, and
-
confess with your mouth that you are healed and by
-
His stripes you are healed. I join my faith with
-
your faith, and I say the Mighty name of Jesus,
-
be healed from eczema.
-
In Jesus's mighty name. We thank you God.
-
Shut up blah blah blah blah bayadaaa, lift up your
-
hands and begin to praise the Lord.
-
Thank you Jesus.
-
