  1. You know, we know from the scriptures

  2. that as long as the earth remains, there

  3. will be

  4. >> Oh, you got three steps ahead of me.

  5. There will be summer, winter, day and

  6. night.

  7. >> Thank you. Now you Now you can jump in

  8. with seed time and harvest. And if you

  9. if you you know you know you're going to

  10. get day and night, you know you're going

  11. to get heat and cold. Um we've gotten

  12. past the heat. Now we're headed toward

  13. the cold. But we know all that. But at

  14. the same time, if you're going to have

  15. all that, which you will, then you can

  16. know you're going to have seed time and

  17. harvest. It's just an absolutely sure

  18. thing. And um you know, as long as

  19. there's seed time, there will be

  20. harvest. And uh you know, we've talked

  21. about that a lot. It's a phrase we've

  22. used a lot that uh I I'm so thankful um

  23. that you know among lots of places in

  24. the body of Christ. The one thing about

  25. uh WC here is you can count on the fact

  26. if you're a if you're a swer, if you're

  27. a giver, the sun will never set on your

  28. seed. You know, if it goes down in one

  29. continent, it'll come up in another. If

  30. it goes down in Europe, it'll come up in

  31. Asia. If it comes If it goes down in

  32. Australia, it'll come up in South

  33. America. Somewhere along the way, if

  34. you're a giver, the sun will never set

  35. on your seed. If it stops on one area,

  36. it'll come up on another one. As long as

  37. the sun's coming up on that and the

  38. rain's falling on it, you are going to

  39. have a harvest.

  40. >> You know, when we talk about and and of

  41. course, it's another another facet. But

  42. when we talk about um you know faith

  43. promises and all that and talk about how

  44. we if we can just if we'll just take

  45. take a a minute couple minutes whatever

  46. it takes to pray and say Lord what would

  47. you have me to do okay it's not just

  48. what do you want to do what do you want

  49. me to do because my faith in God's

  50. what's going to make the difference it

  51. starts it starts with me okay it's not

  52. God what do you want to do it's no Lord

  53. what do you want me to do because if you

  54. tell me what you want me to do I'll put

  55. my faith on that but But uh don't let

  56. that stop you though. Say, "What do you

  57. mean by that?" Because the bottom line

  58. is if if there is a law of seed time,

  59. there's going to be a law of harvest. So

  60. in other words, it's not just how much

  61. can you give. It's not just what's your

  62. faith promise. It's what are you willing

  63. to believe God for? If you'll invest it,

  64. God will multiply it. And you cannot

  65. outgive Almighty God. Pastor Janet and I

  66. have been we've been at this for a lot

  67. of long time 47 years, something like

  68. that. And uh when we started out

  69. uh I remember we we we had a car. Wasn't

  70. paid for, but we had a car. Didn't have

  71. money, didn't have invitations, but we

  72. had a call and we started traveling. And

  73. I still remember um goodness I'm

  74. thinking it was like near Buffalo or

  75. somewhere we ended up with we had enough

  76. money that we could go and we went to a

  77. a store somewhere and we each bought a

  78. new pair of jeans. I think in those days

  79. it was either $10 or $12 a pair and that

  80. just that that killed our savings. But

  81. anyway, um but it was like we have man

  82. we we have come a long ways. We've gone

  83. from nothing to something and we've

  84. watched God just do amazing things and

  85. take care of us and and never seen the

  86. righteous forsaken nor seed begging

  87. bread. And we I think we can all say

  88. that there there are countries in the

  89. world where you you can't people can't

  90. say that. It's it doesn't work that way.

  91. They they haven't learned how to trust

  92. God. But we're grateful for what he's

  93. put on the inside of us. And and if if

  94. God's for us, he's going to do things

  95. for us. And if he is, he he doesn't

  96. withhold any good thing from those that

  97. love him. So, and I better get going

  98. because that's not my subject. But

  99. anyway, anyway, let's open our Bibles

  100. or whatever you're using for your

  101. reference. We'll we'll have it. Usually,

  102. we have it on the uh screens up here.

  103. But, uh, you know, I just, you know, I

  104. recommend everybody have a Bible.

  105. >> That's going slowly through the crowd.

  106. It's I recommend everybody have a Bible.

  107. I started out with a King James and

  108. couldn't figure it out, so I just zipped

  109. it back up and left it. And somebody

  110. talked me into getting a green hard

  111. coverver living Bible. Changed my life.

  112. First time I found something I could

  113. read and to some degree understand it.

  114. And uh you know, going back through and

  115. and over the years, I've got I've got so

  116. many Bibles in my in my library. I've

  117. got old Bibles. I've got covers worn

  118. off.

  119. I've got copies of Christ the Healer, FF

  120. Bosworth. You can't get past the cover.

  121. I've got the covers taped on there, duct

  122. taped on, all that. But I'm just so

  123. thankful for for the word of God. You

  124. can't out out give God. And I'll tell

  125. you what, you'll never find a problem in

  126. life that God hasn't given you the

  127. answer to in the covers of his book.

  128. >> So, I haven't found it so far. Keep

  129. looking. Keep looking. It might come out

  130. a little bit different. I've got I have

  131. run across things in the Bible. I I

  132. said, "God, there is no answer for this

  133. one." Well, don't you don't want to

  134. challenge God.

  135. >> He doesn't get aggravated, but he'll

  136. take you to his word and he'll I told

  137. him a couple times, Lord, there's just

  138. no answer for this that I was dealing

  139. with years and years ago now. Just w

  140. just starting to walk with God. You

  141. didn't cover this in your word. Well, I

  142. went back into I didn't even know how I

  143. found my way into the Bible. I wasn't

  144. sure how to do that, but I got to

  145. looking and it wasn't but about a couple

  146. days and I had didn't have a verse to

  147. cover my problem. I had about four of

  148. them. found out God anything you'll run

  149. into, God will take care of you. Amen.

  150. So anyway, have you found Luke the

  151. fourth chapter?

  152. So I want to take just a few minutes and

  153. talk about the progression of Jesus

  154. ministry. Jesus is not what he's viewed

  155. to be in many parts of the earth where

  156. they've got all these paintings and

  157. portraits and all this. I'm not saying

  158. those are bad, but a lot of things are

  159. pictures of Jesus tiptoeing down the

  160. pathway anemic.

  161. and looks like he just hasn't had a meal

  162. in like three or four weeks. And you

  163. know, I I don't know about you, but

  164. we've seen all of those. And uh not

  165. criticizing those things, but you know,

  166. Jesus, there's no way an anemic, beat

  167. up, beat down, sick, poor, sorry guy, no

  168. way he went into the temple and drove

  169. out an entire flea market, put together

  170. a whip, and drove the whole bunch of

  171. them out of there. He's a man's man.

  172. Okay. But going back through

  173. um in in the ministry of Jesus, um there

  174. was a he he wasn't just

  175. tiptoeing down the pathway, you know,

  176. just reach out and you know, tap

  177. somebody on the head and the blind would

  178. see and tap somebody else on the head

  179. and the deaf would hear. Well, he did

  180. things to get healings and miracles and

  181. blessings into people's lives. But there

  182. was more to it than Jesus just tiptoeing

  183. along going, "Oh, this is great. I think

  184. I'll do something here. Okay. Some of

  185. his miracles were uh he was he a lot of

  186. his miracles took place while he was

  187. interrupted on his way to somebody to he

  188. heal the sick, cleanse the leper, and

  189. raise the dead. He'd stop and go, "Oh,

  190. okay. Stop and heal a blind guy there."

  191. Different things would happen. But in

  192. going through this, Jesus had a real

  193. progression to his ministry. He knew

  194. what he was doing. And it's important

  195. for us to know that because if it worked

  196. for him in the ministry on planet Earth,

  197. then if it'll work through the head,

  198. it'll work through the body.

  199. >> If we find out how he did things, if we

  200. found out how he maneuvered his way

  201. through the things of God, okay, he

  202. Well, he was the son of God. Well, who

  203. are you?

  204. >> Well, he did that as the son of God. If

  205. it worked because he was the son, it'll

  206. work for you because you're a son.

  207. If we just get hold of this thing, we we

  208. somehow somehow we we find ways to throw

  209. this off on him and say, "Well, it only

  210. worked because you we need to get rid of

  211. the because

  212. it'll just work for the it'll work for

  213. the church. It'll work for the body the

  214. same as it did for the head." Jesus

  215. said, "The works that I do, verily,

  216. verily,"

  217. when he uses two verilies, that's a good

  218. thing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,

  219. he that believeth on me,

  220. >> he made that pretty straight. He that

  221. believeth on me, the

  222. the works. Now, we could stay there for

  223. a month. He that believeth on me, the

  224. works that I do shall he do also, and

  225. greater works than these shall he do,

  226. because I go unto my father. In other

  227. words, if you see me doing it, don't

  228. say, "Oh, isn't it wonderful what Jesus

  229. did?" You ought to look at it and say,

  230. "Isn't it wonderful what I can do?"

  231. >> The church ought to be doing what the

  232. head we ought to be doing what the head

  233. did.

  234. >> He He did this as an example, not as a a

  235. cheap substitute, not as here's what I

  236. can do. And when you get to heaven,

  237. you'll get to see all the pictures of

  238. what? No, no, no. If we get hold of the

  239. fact, if we understand who Jesus was

  240. when he walked on this earth, let this

  241. mind be in you which also was in Christ

  242. Jesus, who being in the form of God,

  243. thought robbery, not robbery to be equal

  244. with God, but made himself of no

  245. reputation, stripped himself of his

  246. mighty power and glory, laid aside his

  247. mighty anointing, became a man

  248. until he's about 30 years old, baptized

  249. in the Jordan, heavens open, the spirit

  250. of God descended in bodily form upon

  251. him, and spirit of God came on him and

  252. at that point Jesus stepped into the

  253. call of on his life but he didn't do it

  254. to show us how it should be but it's

  255. never going to be that way. He He did it

  256. to show us what he could do to let us

  257. know what we can do.

  258. >> Okay. Well, he did that because he was

  259. the son of God. I get that. I get that.

  260. He always was and always will be the the

  261. the son of God. The only one with nail

  262. prints in his hands. The only one with

  263. nail prints in his feet. the only one

  264. with a spirit print in his side, the

  265. only one that shed his blood, the only

  266. one that redeemed us. We don't take

  267. anything away from him. But in his

  268. earthly ministry, he said, "I've got to

  269. have this happen when I leave so that it

  270. goes around the globe." And the only

  271. place that the only way it's going to go

  272. around the globe is for the church.

  273. >> I tell you, if we really understood who

  274. we are, not who we made ourselves to be,

  275. if it was us making ourselves, we'd have

  276. messed it up really bad. In fact, most

  277. of us did quite a while. But it it's not

  278. just what we made ourselves to be. What

  279. did he make us to be? How did he equip

  280. us? What did he turn us over into? What

  281. what does he want us to do? So anyway,

  282. Luke the uh 4th chapter, we'll start

  283. with uh let's just start with verse 14.

  284. I'm not sure how far we'll get here.

  285. We'll see. says and Jesus read now this

  286. of course after he's in the wilderness

  287. he's he's gone through the temptations

  288. and so on and the devil you walked him

  289. through the temptations and then

  290. departed for a season and now verse 14

  291. Luke chapter 4 and Jesus returned in the

    Luke 4 chapter mention

  292. power of the spirit to Galilee and went

  293. and there went out of fame of him

  294. through all the region roundabout now

  295. verse 15 here's the beginning of

  296. everything he's just finished his

  297. preparation he's just finished going

  298. through the temptations he's just

  299. finished getting himself prepared to

  300. step into the fullness of his ministry.

  301. In verse uh 15 says, "And he what?"

  302. >> He did what?

  303. >> He taught. See, if we understand Jesus

  304. wasn't just tiptoeing down the pathway

  305. getting people raised up. There was a

  306. method to what he did. And it says here,

  307. how did he start his ministry? And he

  308. taught in their synagogues being

  309. glorified of all. That's how he launched

  310. everything. I'll back up for just a

  311. minute. If you go back to the fourth

  312. chapter of uh Matthew's gospel, verse

  313. 23, Jesus went round about their cities

  314. and villages teaching in the synagogue

  315. preaching the gospel of the kingdom and

  316. healing every manner of sickness and

  317. every manner of disease among the

  318. people. And just to make sure we get it,

  319. he didn't stop with Matthew the 4th

  320. chapter. He went to Matthew the 9th

  321. chapter, verse 35. And Jesus went round

  322. about their cities and villages,

  323. teaching in their synagogue, preaching

  324. the gospel of the kingdom, and healing

  325. every manner of sickness and every

  326. manner of disease among the people. And

  327. we could go on from there, just do a

  328. whole message on how he saw the people

  329. scattered as sheep without a shepherd,

  330. had compassion on them, so on. But

  331. anyway,

  332. um verse 15, Jesus taught in their

  333. synagogues, being glorified of all. They

  334. didn't know who Jesus was. Okay, some of

  335. them got it figured out. He's the

  336. carpenter's son, but he's gone through

  337. the temptations. He's come out and uh he

  338. taught in their synagogues being

  339. glorified of all. Now the 16th verse,

  340. and he came to Nazareth where he'd been

  341. brought up. And as his custom was, he

  342. went into the synagogue. [snorts]

  343. Do you know it's a good custom to go to

  344. church?

  345. >> I know I'm preaching to the choir here,

  346. but you know, it says here, "And his as

  347. his custom was, he went into the

  348. synagogue on the Sabbath day. It was his

  349. custom to go into church." And there was

  350. and he stood up for to read. And it was

  351. a it was a a tradition back there that

  352. they'd have could have like seven

  353. different people that would give up

  354. stand up and give an exhortation, read

  355. something, whatever. So this was normal.

  356. Yeah. It says here uh and he stood up

  357. for to read verse 17. And there was

  358. delivered unto him the book of the

  359. prophet Isaiah. Well, we'd know if we

  360. looked that up, we'd find Isaiah chapter

    Isaiah 61 chapter mention

  361. 61 verse1. Um and that's where he's re

  362. that's where he's reading. He he knew

  363. exactly where he was going. You know

  364. Jesus, he's 30 years old, been baptized

  365. in the Jordan, came up out of the water

  366. praying, heavens open, spirit of God

  367. descended, and a bodily form like a dove

  368. remained upon. We know, we we know what

  369. that from the scriptures, okay? We see

  370. Jesus doing that. And um

  371. uh

  372. growing up as a boy, we we see him at

  373. birth. We see him when he's probably

  374. about two years old. We see him when

  375. he's 12 years old. He's in the he's in

  376. the temple. What's he doing? He's not

  377. teaching them. He's learning. Jesus went

  378. into the synagogue. He went into the

  379. temple, hung around the spiritual

  380. people. And what he he took all this

  381. time up until 30 years old finding

  382. himself. What did he do? He studied the

  383. scriptures to find himself. Now, I know

  384. that sounds kind of strange. Well, he

  385. knew who he was. Well, maybe he didn't.

  386. The Bible said he laid aside his mighty

  387. power and glory. He had to find himself

  388. in the scriptures. And so when he got

  389. says right here, now I don't know, but

  390. it's been said that this is the first

  391. message Jesus preached everywhere he

  392. went. Okay, I won't talk about where

  393. that all came from, but I wouldn't doubt

  394. a bit of it. But it says here, there was

  395. verse 17, there was delivered unto him

  396. the book of the prophet Isaiah. So we'd

  397. say Isaiah. And when he opened the book,

  398. he found the place where it was written.

  399. He knew what he was looking for. You

  400. know, we again, we could stop here for

  401. quite a while, but what he had done is

  402. he had searched the scriptures until he

  403. found himself.

  404. He knew what he was looking for when he

  405. went to Isaiah 61:1. He knew who he was

    Isaiah 61:1

  406. looking for there. He's looking for

  407. himself because look what he says.

  408. Okay? When he'd opened the book, he

  409. found the place where it was written.

  410. Verse 18, the spirit of the Lord's upon

  411. me.

  412. Okay? That's his start. That's the

  413. beginning of his message. But now he's

  414. teaching this, okay? He's he's teaching

  415. this. What's what's going to change

  416. people's lives? If he just walks around,

  417. gets them healed, gets their blind eyes

  418. open, deaf ears, that's great. But

  419. what's going to change them the most is

  420. what word he's going to put in them.

  421. It's not what he they get with them.

  422. It's what he puts in them. Still works

  423. today.

  424. Okay? He found the place. verse uh 17.

  425. He found the place where it was written,

  426. "The spirit of the Lord's upon me

  427. because he's anointed me to preach the

  428. gospel to the poor." He knew what he's

  429. looking for. Okay? Now, this has been in

  430. there a long time. Isaiah 6:11. I don't

    Isaiah 6:11

  431. know when that was written, when that

  432. was penned, but he knew that was in

  433. there. He knew exactly where it was, and

  434. he knew where he was going. He's going

  435. to He's got something to say to these

  436. people. He's just come out of the

  437. wilderness. He's just come out of the

  438. temptations. He's just come out

  439. power of the spirit's working on him.

  440. He's being glorified of all. He's

  441. teaching in the synagogues. And it says

  442. here, uh, verse 16, the spirit of the

  443. Lord's upon me because he's anointed me

  444. to preach the gospel to the poor. Okay?

  445. You know, he interesting. He started

  446. this whole thing out saying you have you

  447. don't you don't got to be poor no more.

  448. He preached first he the place he

  449. started was preaching good news to the

  450. poor. And I've looked that up from every

  451. translation I can find. and poor. You

  452. know what poor means? Poor. Anyway,

  453. okay. He's against that. Okay. Anyway,

  454. another subject. The spirit of the

  455. Lord's upon me because he's anointed me

  456. to preach the gospel to the what's going

  457. to help the poor? The gospel. What's

  458. going to help get out of that mess? The

  459. gospel. The good news. Okay. So, anyway,

  460. the spirit of the Lord's upon me because

  461. he's anointed me to preach the gospel to

  462. the poor. He sent me to heal the

  463. brokenhearted. This is not a one, this

  464. is not just a onetrick deal. It's not

  465. just about getting your bills paid and

  466. your needs met. This is a beginning.

  467. This is a whole lifestyle. The spirit of

  468. the Lord's upon me because he's anointed

  469. me to preach the gospel to the poor. He

  470. sent me to heal the brokenhearted. I

  471. heard a guy say one time, "Preach to the

  472. brokenhearted." There's one in every

  473. pew.

  474. Okay. Now, I thought, well, well, when

  475. we were in a service, actually at 21st

  476. Street, Holy Ghost Rally, and the Holy

  477. Ghost spoke to us and said, "Call up the

  478. brokenhearted." I said, 'Lord, I don't

  479. know if I believe they're there. Well,

  480. if they weren't there, why was Jesus

  481. sent to preach to them?

  482. So, we just called that out. People came

  483. from everywhere. People brokenhearted.

  484. Lives messed up. Problems have happened.

  485. Problems happen. And God does. He was

  486. just delivering folks. We saw people

  487. getting set free of all kinds of things.

  488. Wasn't my idea. I didn't know they were

  489. there. But anyway,

  490. he sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to

  491. preach deliverance to the captives. Oh,

  492. there's there's something good. Okay.

  493. Recovering of sight to the blind. Set at

  494. liberty them that are bruised. And to

  495. preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

  496. We'd say, "Preach the year of Jubilee."

  497. That's every 50 years you get back what

  498. the last 49 has stolen from you. Okay.

  499. Okay. To preach acceptable year of the

  500. Lord. And he closed the book and he gave

  501. it again to the minister and sat down.

  502. And the eyes of all them that were in

  503. the synagogue were fastened upon him.

  504. And he began to say unto them, he began,

  505. they didn't let him finish. He began to

  506. say unto them this this day. Now notice

  507. he didn't say last week, last month,

  508. last. He didn't say last time I came

  509. through here. He didn't say this, you

  510. know, is for another time. He said what?

  511. This day. This day. This day. And he

  512. wanted them to know this is not for

  513. another time. This is not for the

  514. millennial reign. This is not for the

  515. tribulation period. He said this day

  516. is this scripture fulfilled in your

  517. ears.

  518. It didn't get fulfilled until it got in

  519. their ears. Carrying it around in a

  520. Bible didn't make the difference. Having

  521. it on an iPad didn't make the

  522. difference. Having it on a watch didn't

  523. make the difference. It didn't make the

  524. difference until it got in their ears.

  525. >> This day is this scripture fulfilled in

  526. your ears. Once you get it in your ears,

  527. it can work. Because they got so excited

  528. about it, they took him out and tried to

  529. throw him off a cliff. But the bottom

  530. line is he said, "This day is," what did

  531. he say? He sent me to preach the gospel

  532. to the poor. He sent me to heal the

  533. brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the

  534. captives, recovering of sight to the

  535. blind, set at liberty them that are

  536. bruised, preach the acceptable year of

  537. the Lord, close the book, and went on to

  538. say, "This day is this scripture

  539. fulfilled in your ears." So bottom line

  540. is today, today, to put it plainly, I

  541. just gave you a list of what I can do.

  542. And if you want it, you can have it. If

  543. you will put your faith on it, if you'll

  544. if you'll tap into that, I can do every

  545. bit of that. No matter what your problem

  546. is in the synagogue today, if you're

  547. sick, if you're diseased, if you're

  548. blind, if you're brokenhearted, if

  549. you're broke, I don't care what it is.

  550. Whatever it is, the spirit of God is

  551. upon me. I can fix it right now. I can

  552. take care of this.

  553. Okay? But again, they were so

  554. religiously brainwashed that they they

  555. didn't like it. They didn't like it. I

  556. remember when I first got hold of a few

  557. things out of the basics of redemption

  558. years ago now and I still remember I

  559. said dear God I'm going all I am going

  560. all the way across Oklahoma maybe even

  561. the nation I'm going to preach that

  562. everywhere preach what well what Jesus

  563. said the spirit of the Lord's upon me

  564. because he's anointed and so on I said

  565. Lord I'm going to take that everywhere

  566. do you know I said God do you know how

  567. excited people are going to be to hear

  568. this

  569. I started going places I knew, they had

  570. a nice smooth floor because there were

  571. people looking for rocks. There were

  572. folks did they didn't like it. They

  573. didn't like the fact that God will set

  574. you free. He'll heal your body. He'll

  575. meet your needs. He'll blind in your

  576. eyes. He'll fix it. If you're if you've

  577. had your whole basically your whole life

  578. stolen from you, God can restore it. The

  579. acceptable year of the Lord. I I thought

  580. people would be so excited about that. I

  581. said, "God, I don't get this. I've been

  582. preaching it and folks are not liking

  583. it." I kind of got the idea. Yeah. go

  584. back and read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and

  585. John and see how much they liked it.

  586. People didn't like it. But you go along

  587. far enough and here comes the church.

  588. So, we like it. So, anyway,

  589. going back through here, Jesus in his

  590. earthly ministry, he did what he wants

  591. the church to do. He did what belonged

  592. to humanity

  593. to set the captives free. And then

  594. really he said, "Anything you'll find me

  595. doing, you ought to be doing the same

  596. thing." Okay? He said that in the

  597. scriptures, "Verily, verily, I say unto

  598. you, he that believeth on me." Not the

  599. apostle, not the prophet, not the

  600. evangelist, not the pastor, not the

  601. teacher, teacher. Yeah. All of those,

  602. but not strictly those.

  603. It starts there. It works there. But he

  604. said, "He that believeth on me, he that

  605. believe I can't seem to get off this

  606. this morning. He that believeth on me,

  607. the works that I do shall he do also,

  608. and greater works than thee shall he do,

  609. because I go unto my father. If I did

  610. it, you ought to do it. If I had it

  611. done, you ought to have it done. If it

  612. worked for me, it ought to be working

  613. for you.

  614. >> I can still remember one time heard

  615. somebody talking about how they they'd

  616. seen somebody got healed in their

  617. meeting. Well, you know, I decided to be

  618. the wise guy and I said, "Well, Lord,

  619. how come you never did that through me?"

  620. You don't want to ask crazy questions

  621. unless you're ready for some solid

  622. answers. I said, 'How come you never

  623. worked that through me. Just clear as

  624. could be on the inside. I said, I heard

  625. when was the last time you preached the

  626. word and laid hands on somebody?

  627. >> Oh,

  628. you mean I got a part to play in this.

  629. Huh? So what did I do? I started finding

  630. sick folks and say, I don't care what

  631. your problem is. I will be glad to lay

  632. hands on you. Say, did they get healed?

  633. Not at all. I'm tell I had more people

  634. stay sick than you can imagine. But I

  635. thought, I'm not quitting. Now, I heard

  636. Brother Hagen say when he pastored a

  637. church in East Texas, he said, uh, you

  638. know, he said, we started having, I

  639. think he said, Friday night or Saturday

  640. night, uh, healing services, healing and

  641. deliverance services. And he said, boy,

  642. we start preaching and ministering to

  643. the sick and the depressed and all that.

  644. And absolutely nothing happened. But I

  645. thought, I'm not quitting here. He said,

  646. I'm just going to keep doing it and keep

  647. doing it and keep doing it and keep

  648. doing it until something happens. He

  649. said, it wasn't long before all of a

  650. sudden healings start happening.

  651. miracles start happening. People start

  652. coming from that a whole region

  653. roundabout. Well, if it'll work back

  654. there, it'll work today. But anyway,

  655. to move along here, um in in going

  656. through this, you'll you'll find out uh

  657. Jesus in his earthly ministry, the

  658. progression of his ministry was Matthew

    Matthew 4:23

  659. 4:23, Matthew 9:35,

    Matthew 9:35

  660. uh Luke 4:17. Everything was to start

    Luke 4:17

  661. out teach, preach, heal, teach, preach,

  662. heal, teach. Yeah. And the bottom line

  663. is if we want the healing, we better

  664. start out with the teaching and

  665. preaching.

  666. Something has to if we're going to get a

  667. harvest, we we absolutely need to sew

  668. some seed.

  669. >> Okay. Now, to back that up a little bit,

  670. if you look at the ministry of Jesus,

  671. this what I wanted to get to for a

  672. little while. I'm not sure how far we'll

  673. get, but if you get to the ministry of

  674. Jesus, you look back there and and Jesus

  675. um there there was a side to Jesus.

  676. Okay, we know from uh uh really Acts

    Acts 10:38

  677. 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth

  678. with the Holy Ghost and power. God

  679. anointed Jesus with the gifts and

  680. manifestations of the Holy Ghost and

  681. then the outpouring of power. And so

  682. Jesus in his earthly ministry when he

  683. stepped out to fulfill the what God had

  684. for him to do to deliver humanity to set

  685. the captives free to show what it's like

  686. to be a son of God when he stepped out

  687. to do all that. um about

  688. oh I looked this up years ago about 23

  689. to 25%

  690. of the time uh in his earthly ministry

  691. the about the the times when somebody

  692. got something from heaven somebody got a

  693. healing somebody got a miracle about

  694. stick with me on this there's I'm going

  695. somewhere with it about 23 to 25% of the

  696. time they got a miracle without hearing

  697. anything

  698. anybody any of you in here ever gotten

  699. anything from God. You didn't hear

  700. anything. Nobody told you anything. You

  701. didn't hear anything. Just I'm telling

  702. you, God just rang your bell. You got a

  703. freebie out of this. [snorts]

  704. We've seen that for years. We've We saw

  705. a lady in uh Munich, Germany. There was

  706. a lady in uh somewhere in New Jersey.

  707. We've seen people over years, many

  708. people over the years didn't hear

  709. anything. Didn't We've had people didn't

  710. speak a word of English. Somebody

  711. dragged them to a meeting and brought

  712. them up to the front. They came to the

  713. front, didn't have a word of anything.

  714. It sure wasn't my great preaching that

  715. set them free. They didn't know what I

  716. said, but the power of God would come on

  717. them and and they'd get healed in their

  718. bodies. Eyes get real big. They look

  719. around. They didn't know what happened

  720. to him. There there is a side of God

  721. where God will because he's not only

  722. God, he's father. And not only will he

  723. take care of those that have been around

  724. for a while, but God will do a lot of

  725. things for babies, too. Okay? You

  726. understand what I'm saying? Sometimes

  727. he'll just reach out and do things for

  728. people that have not had the opportunity

  729. to learn anything. We've all spent time

  730. there. If you haven't, you're long ways

  731. away ahead of me. But but he um

  732. Jesus would go through their cities and

  733. villages. I know he'd teach, preach, and

  734. heal, but sometimes he would just go and

  735. deliver a miracle. I mean, think about

  736. it. back there in um goodness John

    John 5 chapter mention

  737. chapter 5 pool of Bethesda man's been

  738. sick 18 years okay no chance of getting

  739. better angels angel comes every randomly

  740. troubles the water whoever then first

  741. gets in of made he's made a whole of

  742. whatever disease he has Jesus walks here

  743. pool of Bethesda

  744. great multitude of impotent folk blind

  745. halt withered waiting for the moving of

  746. the water so on Jesus walks up he sees

  747. sees this guy knows he's been now a long

  748. time in that case. Well, how does he

  749. know that? Well, maybe he looked didn't

  750. say God showed him. Just said he knew

  751. it. Don't know. Maybe he had got it by

  752. word of knowledge. I don't know. But he

  753. knew this this man had been a long time

  754. in that case. And he walked over to him

  755. and said, "Sir, is it your will to be

  756. healed?" Well, that's kind of a strange

  757. question, but if you if you're going to

  758. ask that question, you might get an

  759. unusual answer. Sir, is it [snorts] your

  760. will to be healed? Well, of course he

  761. Well, he'd like to be healed, but first

  762. thing he says is, "I can't." "Is it your

  763. will to be healed?" "No, sir." He says,

  764. "I have no man when the waters trouble

  765. to put me into the pool, but while I'm

  766. coming, another always stepeth down

  767. before me." So, that guy has been in his

  768. spot there. Apparently, he's not

  769. prosperous enough to hire somebody to

  770. pick him up and carry him to the lake or

  771. the pond. Okay? And and um

  772. so, he says, "Is it your will to be

  773. healed?" He said, "I can't." He said, "I

  774. have no man when the waters are tobble

  775. to put me into I don't have anybody to

  776. pick me up and carry me down there.

  777. Anytime the waters move, somebody gets

  778. ahead of me." So, in other words, he's

  779. seen people sick. He's seen them get in

  780. the pool when the waters are troubled.

  781. He sees them get back out totally well.

  782. And he knows it'll never happen for him

  783. because he can't get to the water first.

  784. Too many sick people that are not as

  785. sick as him. Well, Jesus could have

  786. said, "I'm going to do you a favor. I'm

  787. going to give you a six-eek

  788. correspondence course.

  789. >> Get your iPad out. We're going to we

  790. will put you we will get you a great

  791. correspondence course. Eventually, this

  792. will get through to you and you can get

  793. a healing. He didn't do any of that.

  794. What happened? Spirit of God's moving.

  795. There's a there's this wonderful freebie

  796. side of God. There's this call it

  797. sovereign. I don't like to you use the

  798. word sovereign because it makes it sound

  799. like God decides whether or whether or

  800. not to do something. That's not what

  801. sovereign means. sovereign side says,

  802. "I'm going to do something for you

  803. whether you understand it or not." So

  804. anyway, says there

  805. Jesus says, "Well, is it your will to be

  806. healed?" "No, sir, I can't. When the

  807. waters are troubled, somebody always

  808. gets in ahead of me." Jesus says, "Well,

  809. get up and walk anyway."

  810. And the guy, he doesn't know who this

  811. is. He doesn't know who Jesus is. This

  812. man walks up and says, "Get up and

  813. walk." So, well, hey, why not? Nothing

  814. else has worked. So, he gets up, rolls

  815. up his bed, and walks away totally

  816. healed. been sick for 18 years. He

  817. didn't hear anything. He didn't hear

  818. preaching. He didn't hear teaching.

  819. Jesus didn't minister anything to him.

  820. He just said, "Is it your will to be

  821. healed?" He said, "I can't." Well, get

  822. up and walk anyway. We might as well get

  823. used to it. We, the church world, were

  824. about to step into a great outpouring of

  825. healings and miracles like that.

  826. >> We've had them before. My goodness, you

  827. go back to the healing revival 1947 to

  828. 1958. You go back through to that and

  829. I'll tell you what, you can see I've had

  830. I've had DVDs and I've had CDs. I've,

  831. you know, I've had all kinds of of video

  832. things of everything from Brother

  833. Roberts to AA Allen to to uh William

  834. Brandon, all these guys. And I used to

  835. sit and just watch those things because

  836. they didn't really teach much of

  837. anything, but they just had a ho a Holy

  838. Ghost flow and they'd minister to people

  839. and healings and miracles would take

  840. place. Well,

  841. uh, in doing that, the guy walked up. He

  842. got up and Jesus left. He didn't He

  843. didn't stay and do a healing crusade. He

  844. didn't do frontier evangelism. He just

  845. got this guy healed and walked away.

  846. Now, the guy's got his bed. He's walking

  847. toward home, wherever home is. He's been

  848. sick 18 years. I don't know if where he

  849. lived, but the religious guys caught him

  850. said, "What are you doing carrying your

  851. bed on the Sabbath day? Who do you think

  852. you are?" He said, "I don't know." Oh,

  853. he said, "The guy that healed me told me

  854. to do it." Well, who told who who healed

  855. you? He said, "I don't know. I have no

  856. idea who it was." It was just a guy

  857. walked up and told me to take up my bed

  858. and walk. So, I did and he did. And they

  859. said, "Who was it?" I don't know who it

  860. was. Jesus had conveyed himself away. A

  861. multitude being in that place. We might

  862. as well get used to that. We're about to

  863. see a great dimension. I'm convinced.

  864. Great outpouring of healings and

  865. miracles like that. The only thing we

  866. need to do is find folks that need them.

  867. Well, I don't need something like that.

  868. Well, then let's find somebody that

  869. does. So, anyway,

  870. so now we could just go through so many

  871. times. The blind man in John nine, we've

  872. got the the uh the guy deaf and

  873. impediment in his speech in John the 7th

  874. chapter. We got the blind guy in John,

  875. I'm sorry, Mark the 8th chapter. We've

  876. got all these cases, but about one out

  877. of four, Jesus just walked up and

  878. delivered a miracle to somebody. Well,

  879. that leaves three out of four that some

  880. something else happened. What was that?

  881. He'd minister to them. He'd put

  882. something in them. Uh Luke the 13th

  883. chapter. Okay. Jesus is he's teaching in

  884. the synagogue. And behold, there is a

  885. woman that has a spirit of infirmity for

  886. 18 years. Was bowed over together could

  887. in no wise lift up herself. Jesus saw

  888. her, called her to. She's he's been

  889. teaching. She's been listening. When he

  890. calls her to the front, she's ready to

  891. receive. Woman, thou art loose from that

  892. infirmity. She gets healed. Luke the 6th

  893. chapter. multitude came from all the

  894. region round about to hear him and to be

  895. healed of their infirmities. So there's

  896. this side where where God's got these

  897. dimensions where he can and will work

  898. miracles for people, set folks free. I

  899. could tell you so many people that we've

  900. been able to watch over the years just

  901. get a freebie. I'm telling you, Leah,

  902. last person in the world ever expected

  903. one. We've seen people get all kinds of

  904. of u ju just God just doing amazing

  905. things for people. Okay, no faith

  906. involved. They weren't expecting

  907. anything to happen. It shocked them more

  908. than anybody. But anyway, so we've got

  909. that and but but then three out of four

  910. times somebody got something. It was

  911. because they heard Jesus. Three out of

  912. four times about 75% of the time Jesus

  913. either said or inferred your faith made

  914. you whole. Okay. Okay. The woman in Mark

  915. 5, daughter, your faith made you whole.

  916. Okay. Um, goodness. Matthew the 9th

  917. chapter, the two blind men that came

  918. into the house. Jesus said, "What do you

  919. want me to do?" They said, "That we

  920. might receive our sight." He said, "Did

  921. you believe I can do this?" They said,

  922. "Yes, Lord." Then he he said, "Then

  923. according to your faith, so be it done

  924. unto you." So, we've got these two

  925. sides. And um I'll finish with an

  926. example of this.

  927. Um,

  928. most of the time you cannot be

  929. guaranteed that God's just going to

  930. reach out and do something a Holy Ghost

  931. freebie. If you get one, enjoy it, okay?

  932. And and and don't be surprised if people

  933. start showing up going, "Man, I don't

  934. know what happened all of a sudden."

  935. We've had people in our service when we

  936. were at East Central. Guyy's sitting way

  937. in the back, sitting back there, uh,

  938. another man in the church brought him,

  939. it was a business meeting they had,

  940. brought him church. And the guy in the

  941. middle of the service, the guy turned

  942. around and he said, "Somebody's got

  943. their hand on me back on my back, but

  944. there's nobody back there."

  945. Well, by the end of the service, he's

  946. totally healed. He goes back home. His

  947. business partner calls him up on the

  948. phone, gets him born again, and he's

  949. healed in his body. Well, we've we've we

  950. should we should be seeing those things

  951. happen all the time. It ought to be

  952. going on on a regular basis. But but

  953. [snorts] if that's one out of four, what

  954. about the other three? What what should

  955. we see the most of?

  956. Jesus went round about their cities and

  957. villages, teaching in their synagogues,

  958. preaching the gospel of the kingdom and

  959. healing every manner of sickness and

  960. every manner of disease among the

  961. people. We ought to be expecting more

  962. miracles by people hearing the word.

  963. >> I'm going to say that again. We ought to

  964. be expecting more healings and miracles

  965. for people for people hearing the word.

  966. >> Teach, preach, and heal. If Jesus had to

  967. teach, preach, and heal, the church is

  968. we we don't get a freebie. We don't get

  969. a shortcut out of this. If we'll teach

  970. and preach, the healing will show up,

  971. but it usually doesn't show up until

  972. after healing. Healing shows up after

  973. the teaching and preaching. Okay? That's

  974. the way it's normally going to work. So,

  975. anyway,

  976. I I'll give you an example and finish

  977. with this. Um, we we could spend time we

  978. could we could go through the the the

  979. 75% in the Gospels and find so many

  980. people that got miracles because they

  981. took time to sit in here. took time to

  982. sit here. I I remember I'll finish I

  983. I'll talk about this. We I remember um I

  984. was working for brother Hagen and we

  985. were at uh Dr. Fred Price's church out

  986. in Cshaw, California and um couple of us

  987. were working his product table had you

  988. know the the books and the cassettes and

  989. all that and uh still remember one lady

  990. came rushing in there had a car parked

  991. out in front came rushing in there and

  992. it was a late afternoon coming into the

  993. evening service. She said, "When's

  994. brother Hagen going to pray for the

  995. sick?" I said, "I don't have the

  996. slightest idea. You never know when he's

  997. going to minister to the sick. You never

  998. know when he's going to lay hands on the

  999. sick. Why?" "Well, I got a bunch of

  1000. stuff I've got to do, and I don't have

  1001. time to do this. So, I want to know when

  1002. he's going to minister to the sick and

  1003. I'll go take care of my business and

  1004. come back in time to get prayed for.

  1005. Now, I was nicer back then.

  1006. There was so much I wanted to say and I

  1007. didn't." I just said, "Well, you know,

  1008. whatever." Kind of left it at that. But

  1009. I thought, "No, don't waste your time.

  1010. Don't waste your time. Don't even bother

  1011. coming back. You're not going to get

  1012. anything. If that's all the respect you

  1013. have for the word of God, if that's all

  1014. the respect you got for the anointing of

  1015. God, just go do your business. Just go

  1016. take care of things. You're not going to

  1017. get anything,

  1018. >> loser. You're not going to get

  1019. anything."

  1020. I didn't say that. It just popped out.

  1021. [laughter]

  1022. I'm much nicer then. Well, now well

  1023. anyway. Anyway, anyway, the part I want

  1024. to get to is probably the best example

  1025. I've heard of how this has worked in

  1026. people's lives was I I've read so much

  1027. um

  1028. about and by Dr. Lillian B. Yman's.

  1029. Okay, there were there were four books.

  1030. I think there's one book now that's all

  1031. included into one. But um Dr. Yman's was

  1032. a medical doctor. uh really she was born

  1033. in the late 1800s and she died I think

  1034. 1940

  1035. 1942 I think when she died went home but

  1036. um Dr. Dr. Yman's uh medical doctor. Her

  1037. mother was a medical doctor. She was a

  1038. medical doctor. She'd gone to I think

  1039. the University of Michigan where she got

  1040. her training. And um she was just doing

  1041. what she was doing. Well, somehow in the

  1042. middle of her life, uh she got to

  1043. working too hard, doing too much, trying

  1044. to get too much done. Nobody's ever done

  1045. that before, have they? And before long,

  1046. she's she's taken uh medication to help

  1047. her stay awake and to do the job. And

  1048. put a put it bluntly, she became highly

  1049. addicted to uh morphine and some other

  1050. medications. And she got to where she

  1051. got she got to where she was so sick. I

  1052. think I I think I read she had over 60

  1053. attempts to try to get herself set free.

  1054. And she's she's uh addicted. Uh she went

  1055. places to try to get help and they said

  1056. she looked like a skeleton with skin

  1057. stretched over it. She was leaving. She

  1058. was dying. There's nothing anybody could

  1059. do. And um uh make a long story short,

  1060. she found her way to John Alexander

  1061. Dawi's uh healing rooms. She went to one

  1062. of those and she's dying. He took all of

  1063. her medications away. She's dying there.

  1064. But a the Holy Ghost spoke to her and

  1065. said, "Go to such and such a meeting

  1066. tonight." She said, "I don't think I

  1067. can." He didn't seem to care. She went

  1068. there and she started getting better.

  1069. And before long, she was totally well.

  1070. And for the next 40 years, she and her

  1071. sister had a healing room. healing he

  1072. healing house I believe in Canada and uh

  1073. they saw more healings and more

  1074. miracles. She wrote books uh had amazing

  1075. understanding of divine healing. So

  1076. she uh

  1077. she's ministering to people but they

  1078. from what I understand they wouldn't you

  1079. know I mean you only got so much room in

  1080. a place like that and there's a lot of

  1081. sick people. So they wouldn't let

  1082. anybody in to come live in this house to

  1083. get better unless they were given up by

  1084. medical science to die. If they got any

  1085. chance of living and they're not coming

  1086. in here, then go live. But the bottom

  1087. line is if you're coming in here to try

  1088. to get something, if you're not if

  1089. you're not given up by medical science

  1090. to die, no use coming in here. So they'd

  1091. bring people in on stretchers on a CS

  1092. and bring them in there. And they uh

  1093. they brought this lady in there. She was

  1094. she was just taking her last breath.

  1095. They said, "Take her upstairs, put her

  1096. in such and such a room up there." Well,

  1097. they didn't have all the recording

  1098. devices we'd have. So, they'd open their

  1099. Bibles, she and her sister, and they'd

  1100. go and read healing scriptures to her,

  1101. but hour after hour after hour after

  1102. hour. Well, it's the same as getting it

  1103. from a, you know, iPhone or something.

  1104. And they kept reading verses, reading

  1105. verses, reading verses, reading verses.

  1106. Well, she got to where it, you know, it

  1107. started to work in her system. She could

  1108. she could get a breath now and then. She

  1109. she could got a little better. And Dr.

  1110. Yman said, "Uh, tell you what I'm going

  1111. to have you do." She said, "What's

  1112. that?" Said, "I want you to get over

  1113. this." They didn't they didn't do this

  1114. just to see how many they could get

  1115. healed. They wouldn't let them in unless

  1116. they knew they could get them healed.

  1117. But medical science going to have to

  1118. give up on him before they'll even give

  1119. him a room in there. So anyway, they

  1120. said u

  1121. she said, "I want you to do something

  1122. for me." The lady said, "Well, I'll do

  1123. it. Is it easy? I don't Doesn't matter

  1124. if it's easy. I want you to do it." She

  1125. said, "Whatever you want." She said, 'I

  1126. want you, every time you think of it, I

  1127. want you to say according to Deuteronomy

    Deuteronomy 28:61

  1128. 28:61, my sickness, my disease is a

  1129. curse of the broken law.

  1130. I'll say that again. Deuteronomy chapter

  1131. 28:61. You can read that. Deuteronomy

  1132. 28th chapter, first 14 verses are about

  1133. the blessings of Abraham. Verse 15-68 or

  1134. 69 are all the curse that'll come on you

  1135. if you disobey God. It was the law. It

  1136. was the It was the law. the good side

  1137. and the bad side. She said, she said to

  1138. her, she said, "I want you, every time

  1139. you think of it, I want you to say, see

  1140. if you can get people's words

  1141. straightened out." Because if you get

  1142. their word straightened out, you'll get

  1143. their believing straightened out. It's

  1144. got to It's usually got to start here.

  1145. Well, I I don't know if I got my

  1146. believing right. Get your talking right,

  1147. it'll straighten out your believing.

  1148. said, "I want you, every time you think

  1149. about it, I want you to say according to

  1150. Deuteronomy chapter 20, this dead lady

    Deuteronomy 20 chapter mention

  1151. doesn't. She's she knows nothing. She's

  1152. dying. I want you to say according to

  1153. Deuteronomy 28:61,

    Deuteronomy 28:61

  1154. my sickness, whatever it was, my

  1155. sickness, my disease is a curse of the

  1156. broken law. But according to Galatians

    Galatians 3:13

  1157. 3:13, Christ has redeemed me from the

  1158. curse of the law, so I don't have it

  1159. anymore."

  1160. >> The lady said, "I don't understand." She

  1161. said, "I didn't ask you to understand

  1162. it. I just asked you to say it." Okay.

  1163. So, she said left her there and then,

  1164. you know, all night long. They came in

  1165. the next morning, asked the lady, "How

  1166. you doing?" "No, I'm I'm not a bit

  1167. better. I'm just as bad as I was last

  1168. night." "Well, did you do what I told

  1169. you to do?" "Well, yeah, but I don't get

  1170. it." I don't care if you get it or not.

  1171. Did you do what I told you to do? Well,

  1172. yeah. What did Tell me what I want to

  1173. make sure you get it right. What did you

  1174. do? Well, I said I said I said according

  1175. to Deuteronomy 28:61, "My sickness, my

    Deuteronomy 28:61

  1176. disease is a curse of the broken law,

  1177. but according to Galatians 3:13, Christ

    Galatians 3:13

  1178. has redeemed me from the curse of the

  1179. broken law, so I don't have it anymore."

  1180. Good. She says, "But I don't understand

  1181. it." She said, "Don't bother about that.

  1182. Just keep saying it. It will register

  1183. eventually."

  1184. >> See if the church will get that.

  1185. >> It it'll it will register. The word will

  1186. work. But you got to get the word

  1187. working into where it can work. Real

  1188. faith is of the heart. So

  1189. she I mean all day long she'd go and see

  1190. her. How you doing? Oh, I'm about the

  1191. same. Did you do what I told you? Yes.

  1192. Yes. Yes, I did. Dr. Yman's I've said

  1193. that. I've said that so many times over

  1194. and over and over and I I just I don't

  1195. feel a bit better. She said, I don't

  1196. care how you feel. What did you do?

  1197. According to Deuteronomy 28:61, my

    Deuteronomy 28:61

  1198. sickness, my disease, my infirmity is a

  1199. curse of the broken law. But according

  1200. to Galatians 3:13, Christ says, "Redeem

    Galatians 3:13

  1201. me from the curse." This is New

  1202. Testament stuff. This is not something

  1203. under the law. This is what the law said

  1204. you're going to get. And this is what

  1205. the the gospel says you Jesus got for

  1206. you.

  1207. >> So anyway, she said, "No, I just didn't

  1208. do it." She said, "Just keep doing it."

  1209. Persistence.

  1210. Just keep doing it all night long. She's

  1211. I don't know day, two days, three days,

  1212. whatever it was. This lady, I mean, she

  1213. she she's dying. That's why they let her

  1214. in the place.

  1215. Medical science can't help her. Nobody

  1216. can help her.

  1217. But they said just keep saying it. Just

  1218. keep Jesus. If he'd teach, preach, and

  1219. heal, but people didn't get healed until

  1220. they listen to the teaching and

  1221. preaching. That's really simple. If we

  1222. just take that truth and go, if it'll

  1223. work for them, it'll work for me. If

  1224. Jesus said it'll work for him and I can

  1225. do it, I'm going to do the same thing.

  1226. I'm going to tell people something to

  1227. listen to and if they'll hear it, they

  1228. believe it, they're going to get it.

  1229. Sounds pretty easy. I'm glad God doesn't

  1230. make it complicated. So anyway, anyway,

  1231. she uh she and her sister were down

  1232. having breakfast in downstairs. They had

  1233. this healing house together and said all

  1234. of a sudden

  1235. all of a sudden they heard all this

  1236. racket upstairs. Heard all this rack

  1237. sound like somebody jumping and dancing.

  1238. and they didn't know what it was. And so

  1239. all of a sudden, here comes this lady,

  1240. carried her in about three days earlier

  1241. on a stretcher. She's dying. She's

  1242. taking her last breath. All of a sudden,

  1243. she's running down the stairs, jumping

  1244. up and down, dancing, going, "Dr.

  1245. Yman's, Dr. Yman's." According to

  1246. Deuteronomy 28:61, my sickness, my

    Deuteronomy 28:61

  1247. disease was a curse of the broken law.

  1248. But according Galatians 3:13, Christ has

    Galatians 3:13

  1249. redeemed me from the curse of the law. I

  1250. am redeemed. I want you to know I got

  1251. it. I got it. I got it. I'm totally

  1252. healed. I'm healthy. Jesus took what I

  1253. had. He bore it for me. I want you to

  1254. know I'm well. She's singing and she's

  1255. dancing and all that. What happened? She

  1256. got it.

  1257. >> If it'll work then, it'll work today.

  1258. >> Jesus, what about teaching, preaching,

  1259. and healing? Hallelujah.

  1260. >> Oh, we could spend all day on all that

  1261. and it'll work.

  1262. >> It will work.

  1263. >> It'll work if we work it.

  1264. >> I took geometry in school. I don't know

  1265. why.

  1266. I love math. I loved algebra. I loved

  1267. algebra, too. I love Oh, I loved I did

  1268. not like history. I did not I didn't

  1269. like all this other stuff, you know,

  1270. English.

  1271. I know that's news, but anyway, I didn't

  1272. know any of this, but I thought, "Oh,

  1273. math is great. It's so simple. I don't

  1274. even have to study that." Then I

  1275. thought, "Well, I'll take geometry."

  1276. They said, "That's good." I took

  1277. geometry, and inside of the first week,

  1278. I thought, "This stuff doesn't work."

  1279. I went to my teacher. I said, "I I took

  1280. this, but I'm I'm telling you, this does

  1281. not work. I've tried it. I've got it

  1282. doesn't work. She said, "You just keep

  1283. sticking with it." I said, "No, I've

  1284. stuck with it already. It doesn't work.

  1285. I've tried it." But it's working for

  1286. people around me. That's the problem.

  1287. How come they get it and I don't get it.

  1288. I never did get it. But anyway,

  1289. but anyway, I found out geometry only

  1290. works if you work it.

  1291. >> It's a guarantee. It'll always work.

  1292. It's a sure thing, but it only works if

  1293. you work it. Healing is a sure thing,

  1294. but it'll only work if we work it.

  1295. >> If we'll work it, if we'll work it, you

  1296. know, well, I'm waiting for God to No,

  1297. don't wait for God to do it. He did his

  1298. part 2,000 years ago. If you're waiting

  1299. for him to heal you, you're too late. By

  1300. whose stripes you were. If you were, you

  1301. are.

  1302. >> If we're waiting for him to do it, we're

  1303. man, we're we're behind the curve on

  1304. this thing. Hallelujah. Praise God.

  1305. Let's all stand to our feet.

  1306. Now, we're going to take time this

  1307. morning and uh for those of you that

  1308. say, "I I need a healing in my body. I

  1309. want to be ministered to for healing."

  1310. Okay? May not be everybody. Maybe just a

  1311. few people in here. I don't know. But

  1312. we're going to take some time and we're

  1313. going to minister to you. All right?

  1314. Why? Because we've covered the word.

  1315. Luke 13:16, Jesus said, "Ought not this

    Luke 13:16

  1316. woman being a daughter of Abraham whom

  1317. Satan is bound. lo these 18 years be

  1318. loose from this bond on the Sabbath day.

  1319. Man, if she could have it in the earthly

  1320. ministry of Jesus, we could have it in

  1321. the earthly ministry of the body of

  1322. Christ. It's just a m It's just a matter

  1323. of taking it. Don't care what's wrong

  1324. with you. Don't care what the do what

  1325. the doctor has said.

  1326. Doesn't matter what the doctor said.

  1327. Doesn't it doesn't matter what the uh

  1328. outcome is, what the diagnosis,

  1329. prognosis, doesn't make any does not

  1330. make any difference. The only difference

  1331. is what do you believe? What are you

  1332. believing and what are you saying? And

  1333. if you just say it, it'll get to where

  1334. you believe it. If you believe it and

  1335. say it, you're going to get it. You can

  1336. walk out totally free. Doesn't make any

  1337. difference. People all over the nation,

  1338. all over the world, they have gotten

  1339. healed miracles in their body because

  1340. they just took time to hear and believe.

  1341. If it'll work for them, it'll sure work

  1342. for us. [music] Praise God. Hallelujah.

  1343. Well, let's lift our hands and thank

  1344. him. Father, in the wonderful name of

  1345. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I thank you,

  1346. Father.

  1347. You paid the price. [music] We're not

  1348. waiting for you to. You already did

  1349. that. You paid the price for us. For

  1350. every one of us. Every one of us.

  1351. Whatever is trying to be wrong with our

  1352. bodies. Every one of us by whose stripes

  1353. we were. We were. We I know people right

  1354. now. I know people I know people well

  1355. that are standing taking a stand. And

  1356. their declaration is my the debt's been

  1357. paid. Somebody already redeemed me.

  1358. Somebody paid the price. Somebody

  1359. carried what I was so I can be what they

  1360. are.

  1361. So I thank you dear father for working

  1362. together with us confirming your [music]

  1363. word with signs following in Jesus name.

  1364. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Amen. Well let

  1365. me ask you this. How many here say I'd

  1366. like to be ministered to for healing.

  1367. Won't take long. We're not going to drag

  1368. a lot of time off. If you want to be

  1369. ministered to for healing, just just

  1370. hold your hand up. Okay. All right. If

  1371. you'll just kind of make your way out

  1372. into the aisle and head come toward the

  1373. front. Uh I'll have Pastor Janet on one

  1374. end of the line. I'll get on the other

  1375. end and we will [music] we will do what

  1376. we know to do.

  1377. Hallelujah.

  1378. We all know cases of people that are

  1379. sick. People that are there is no no way

  1380. they're going to get any better. No way

  1381. it's ever going to work. Well, Jesus,

  1382. like somebody said, Jesus middle name

  1383. was the I am the way. It's a middle

  1384. name.

  1385. Hallelujah.

  1386. Glory to God.

  1387. Now, your job's not to see if you feel

  1388. something. Your job is not to see if you

  1389. feel you don't don't get ministered to

  1390. and say, "I didn't feel any better."

  1391. Doesn't matter what you feel. Does not

  1392. make a bit of difference what you feel.

  1393. It's what you believe that makes a

  1394. difference. Okay? It Well, I don't, you

  1395. know, just I don't feel it anywhere in

  1396. my body. Well, that it'd be great if you

  1397. did, but if you don't, still doesn't

  1398. make any difference. doesn't make a bit

  1399. of difference if you'll just take it. If

  1400. you just salvation, I don't know about

  1401. you, when I got my life right with God,

  1402. I didn't feel any better.

  1403. Went back to my dorm, did great for

  1404. about three days, and then backslid. Was

  1405. not a good thing.

  1406. But eventually, I got hold of the fact

  1407. it's not what I feel like. I don't feel

  1408. saved. I don't feel better. It's not

  1409. what I feel. It's what I believe. And I

  1410. know I got my life right with God. That

  1411. was 1972. and we're a couple years down

  1412. the road. It worked. So, Pastor Janet's

  1413. going to be at one end of the other. I'm

  1414. going to go to the other end. We're

  1415. going to lay hands on you. Same

  1416. anointing that operates in my life

  1417. operates in her life. And there's an

  1418. anointing. Jesus said, "The spirit of

  1419. the Lord's upon me because he's anointed

  1420. me." It's the anointing of the Holy

  1421. Ghost that makes a difference. So, we're

  1422. going to come by. We're going to lay

  1423. hands on you. Probably won't ask you

  1424. what's wrong. [music] Probably does. If

  1425. I was doing the healing, I'd ask you,

  1426. but I'm not doing the healing, so I

  1427. probably won't ask. It's the anointing

  1428. that makes the difference. Hallelujah.
