00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome Just hand Away Tagalog Sermon podcast, your daily dose

2
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>of inspiring, heartfelt tagalog sermons from different pastors and speakers

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>all over the Philippines. We hope that this podcast finds

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you in good shape.

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>And now here's your message.

6
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Old Man Healing. Our second session, the theme is here

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 1>and be healed. We've looked at more than one time

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:37.119
<v Speaker 1>where Jesus when they came for healing, they first heard,

9
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>they heard, and then were healed. And we have to

10
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>believe believe with the heart. So we want to talk

11
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>about with the heart tonight in receiving healing and wholeness

12
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.119
<v Speaker 1>or any of the promises of God. Scripture tells us

13
00:00:55.119 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>that we must believe with the heart, believe with the heart.

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.319
<v Speaker 1>True Bible faith is a matter of the heart, not

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 1>the head. Knowledge is not faith. Faith is not knowledge.

16
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:14.879
<v Speaker 1>So we'll look a little tonight as much as we

17
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 1>can and what is true Bible faith? What is the heart?

18
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 1>How do we get the Word in our heart? And

19
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 1>how do we believe with the heart? Now look at

20
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Romans chapter ten and verse eight. Romans ten eight, But

21
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>what saith thee that the Word is nigh thee even

22
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 1>in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is the

23
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 1>word of faith which we preach, that if you shall

24
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in

25
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.159
<v Speaker 1>your heart that God has raised him from the dead,

26
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:06.599
<v Speaker 1>you shall be saved, healed, delivered, set free, and made whole.

27
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>That's how it would read in the Greek the word

28
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>solzo or soteria. For with the heart verse ten, man

29
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>believeth unto righteousness or resulting in righteousness or right standing.

30
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>And with the mouth confession is made unto salvation, healing, deliverance, preservation,

31
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and soundness. For the scripture saith. Whoever believeth on him

32
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>shall not be ashamed. Notice verse ten. With the heart,

33
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 1>man believeth With the heart, man believes. Recall, we did

34
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>number of weeks teaching on speaking to the mountain and

35
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>mountain moving faith Mark eleven, twenty two to twenty four.

36
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Jesus had have the faith of God, who use ever

37
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>shall say unto the mountain, be thu removed, and be

38
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>thou cast into the sea, shall not doubt in his heart,

39
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>not doubt in his head, but doubt in his heart.

40
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I like what brother Hagen says. You can have doubt

41
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>in your head and faith in your heart. And still

42
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>get the answer. Not doubt in your head. But he said,

43
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>just when you speak to the mountain, when you release

44
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.039
<v Speaker 1>your faith, don't doubt in your heart, but believe that

45
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>what you say comes the past, and you'll have whatever

46
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you say. Mark or Verse twenty four says, what things

47
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>serve you desire. When you pray, believe, you receive them,

48
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and you'll have them with the heart, man believeth We

49
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>must believe with the heart. Knowing things in the head

50
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>is not the same as faith in the heart. See

51
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people they know things in their head. Well,

52
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I know that you talk to him about the Word,

53
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you talk to him about scriptural things, scriptural principles. Well

54
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that I've read that. Ye've heard that, But

55
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't mean they have faith. Just knowing things in

56
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>your head is not necessarily true Bible faith. We have

57
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to have faith in our heart. A lot of people

58
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>know things in their head, but it needs to drop

59
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 1>down from the head into the heart. We need to

60
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 1>get it on the inside of of us, in our

61
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:40.720
<v Speaker 1>innermost being. Knowledge is not faith. Faith is not knowledge.

62
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Remember what Proverbs three five to six is Trust in

63
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 1>Yahweh with all your heart, with all your heart, and

64
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>lean not to your own head. I'm paraphrasing, lean not

65
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 1>to your own understanding, your reasoning, your mind, your head.

66
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not

67
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 1>to your own understanding, and all your ways. Acknowledge him

68
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and he will direct your path. Now, sometimes a little

69
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 1>difficult to understand heart or define heart. We're going to

70
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>do a little bit of that tonight. But to just

71
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>simplify it, you know, as people say, well, how do

72
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I know it's my heart? Well, just keep it To

73
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.079
<v Speaker 1>make it real simple, I would say to somebody, well,

74
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>what happens when you fall in love is that with

75
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>your head or with your heart? It's not your head.

76
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if it's with your head, there's by a

77
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>problem there. But don't you don't you know, meet somebody

78
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and then after a while say well, after many months

79
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been about thinking about this and making computations in

80
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 1>my mind and factual analysis, I've come to the conclusion

81
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>that yes, as a result of this factual basis, I

82
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 1>do love you. That would be loving the head. But

83
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 1>when it's in the heart, you know it, it's different

84
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>than the head. And faith has to be in our heart,

85
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>our whole being. If you would so lean not to

86
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>your own understanding. You don't believe God with your head

87
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>any more than you believe in with your feelings or

88
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 1>your eyes or your ears. It says, believe with your heart,

89
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>your innermost being. Now, this is where a lot of

90
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 1>folk get mixed up, because they'll stand on the word

91
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of God, or they'll hear principles of faith, or say

92
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>a message of healing, divine healing, or any of the

93
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>promises of God, and they'll say, well, I stood on

94
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the word of God. I believed, will say healing. I

95
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 1>believe that I was healed, and I confess the word

96
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and believe the promises. But I must not be healed

97
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 1>because I don't feel healed. So hence they think they're

98
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>did not receive healing because they don't feel healed. Or

99
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 1>they'll say I don't look healed, and I always say, well,

100
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>your feelings were not made for believing, your eyes in

101
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>your ears were not made or believing your heart was

102
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 1>made for believing to say that I must not be healed. Now,

103
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 1>if you listen to what I'm saying, this could help

104
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 1>some people. I must not be healed because I don't

105
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 1>feel healed. Would be like for me to stand here

106
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and say I need one of the ushers to turn

107
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 1>the lights on, and they look at me and they say,

108
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>well passor the lights are on. No they're not on.

109
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't smell them. Turn the lights on, they are on. No,

110
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they must not be on. I can't smell them. You

111
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>know what, my nose was not made for seeing, and

112
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 1>your feelings were not made for believing. Or to say,

113
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody turned the air conditioner on because I

114
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.879
<v Speaker 1>can't hear it. I can't hear it. Well, my ears

115
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 1>were not made for feeling, and your ears or your

116
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.759
<v Speaker 1>eyes are not made for believing. It's your heart that

117
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:15.559
<v Speaker 1>may for believing it. So many times people base their

118
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.799
<v Speaker 1>believing on what they feel or what they see, or

119
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>what they hear from the doctor, from other people or

120
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>something like that. It must be based on the word

121
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of God and what God's word saith. Go to Proverbs

122
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 1>chapter four. Proverbs chapter four. We've been spending some time

123
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in here looking at God's medicine. I want to look

124
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>at it from a little slightly different angle tonight. Proverbs

125
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 1>chapter four, verse twenty. With the heart, man believeth. With

126
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 1>the heart, man believeth, Probably four twenty to twenty two.

127
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>My son, my daughter, attend to my words incline thine.

128
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Ear onto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes.

129
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Keep them in the midst of thine heart. Keep them

130
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of Thine heart, for they are life

131
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 1>under those that find them in health. We looked at this.

132
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>It's the Hebrew word marpe, which is a derivative of

133
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the Hebrew word rapa yahweh rafa Exodus fifteen twenty six,

134
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>where God said, I am the Lord that healeth you.

135
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Lord, your doctor, your physician, i am your

136
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 1>healer rapha. Here it says his words are life to

137
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 1>those who find them in health healing. The word health

138
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>here in the Hebrew means healing, medicine, remedy, and cure.

139
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>In fact, anytime I quote this, it just automatically comes

140
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.639
<v Speaker 1>out that way word life to me and health, healing, medicine, remedy,

141
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.559
<v Speaker 1>and cure. Just like anytime I quote salvation, it just

142
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>comes out salvation, healing, deliverance, preservation, and soundness. You should

143
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 1>train yourself to think that way and talk that way,

144
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>because that's what it literally means. We miss out on

145
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 1>God's best by just focusing on one aspect. I was

146
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>reading a Jewish study Bible this week, and I was

147
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>reading what they had about the word shalom. Because I'm

148
00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 1>tremendously interested in shalom and I've taught on that before, wholeness, completeness, wellness.

149
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought, I wonder what they got to say about

150
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.759
<v Speaker 1>shalom and it said as I looked it up, they said,

151
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:46.519
<v Speaker 1>it is impossible to define with one word. Yes, that's

152
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 1>what I've thought for years. It's impossible to define it

153
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>with one word such as peace. Like I've said before,

154
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to say shalom is peace is like saying the Pacific

155
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Ocean is a body of water. Well, it's a body

156
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.320
<v Speaker 1>of water, but it's a whole lot more than that.

157
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>They'll denturing Lake Wawasee in the Pacific Ocean, you know,

158
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>like saying the Grand Canyon as a hole in the ground. Well,

159
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 1>it's a little more than a hole in the ground.

160
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And shalom is a whole lot more than just peace.

161
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>So we need to train ourselves to receive the fullness

162
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of what God has for us now not is Verse

163
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:27.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. For their life to those that find them

164
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 1>in health, healing, medicine, remedy and cure to all their flesh.

165
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Keep thy, keep thy verse twenty three, keep thy wet

166
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>heart with all diligence, For out of it are the

167
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 1>forces of life. Out of it are the forces of life. Now,

168
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.279
<v Speaker 1>if we didn't have any other scriptures on healing and

169
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>health than these right here, you know, we would still

170
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 1>know that God wants us healed and in health, even

171
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>if we didn't have any other scriptures other than just these,

172
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 1>and we have a whole lot more. But right here

173
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the scripture tells us God wants us healed and in health,

174
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and not only tells us so, but tells us how

175
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to get it, tells us how to get it. Now,

176
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 1>if healing in health wasn't his will, why would God

177
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>tell us how to get it? If it wasn't his will,

178
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>why would he tell us how to get it? He

179
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>tells us how to get it right here. Surely he

180
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>would to tell us how to get something that wasn't

181
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't his will for us to have, And he

182
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:52.360
<v Speaker 1>tells us how to have healing in health and Hollness said,

183
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>attend to my words and cline your to my sayings.

184
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Let them not depart from before your eyes keep them

185
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of your heart, and there'll be life

186
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to those who find them. In health, medicine, remedy, and

187
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>cure to all their flesh. He gives us the recipe

188
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>for healing and for health. He tells us exactly how

189
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.919
<v Speaker 1>it works. He says his words are medicine to all

190
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 1>our flesh, medicine to all our flesh. He doesn't say

191
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.039
<v Speaker 1>his words are like medicine. That's how a lot of

192
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>folk read that. Oh, his words are like medicine. No,

193
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't say it's like. He says they are medicine

194
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>his words. Remember last week we talked about words of life,

195
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 1>words of life. If you weren't here, I'd encourage you

196
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 1>to get that message and listen to it. If you

197
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.559
<v Speaker 1>were here, I'd encourage you to get it or go

198
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>online and listen to it again.

199
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Words of life. God's word is life. We need it

200
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:06.759
<v Speaker 2>more than food for our bodies. God's word is full

201
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 2>of life.

202
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 1>His word contains words of life, as opposed to words

203
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:21.519
<v Speaker 1>of death. Words of life. It matters what you hear,

204
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>It matters what you feed on, It matters what you

205
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>put into you. Good things will help you, Bad things

206
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>will hurt you. You are what you eat, physically as

207
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 1>well as spiritually and emostly and mentally. God's word is

208
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 1>full of life. His words are medicine to all our flesh.

209
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 1>Look how the Living Bible reads here, we'll have it

210
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on the screens. Is God's words will mean real life

211
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:11.879
<v Speaker 1>for you, and radiant health. Real life for you, and

212
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>radiant health should be in the notes there. Not you

213
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>don't need to go to the program, but in the

214
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 1>notes there radiant health. His words are radiant health. How

215
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:29.360
<v Speaker 1>many would like that radiant health? Hallelujah? Only about half

216
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of you. That's a shame. How many would like that

217
00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 1>radiant health? All right? God's word translation, My words are

218
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>life to those who find them, and they heal the

219
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>whole body. They heal the whole body. So he says,

220
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>guard your heart more than anything else, because the source

221
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>of your life flows from it. The source of your

222
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 1>life flows from it. His words are health to your

223
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>whole body, to all your flesh. How much of your flesh,

224
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>all your flesh that would be from the top of

225
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>your head to the tips of your toes, from fingertip

226
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to fingertip, that would be all your flesh. He says,

227
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 1>My words are health, healing, medicine, remedying, cure to all

228
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.319
<v Speaker 1>your flesh. God's Word is medicine when we believe it

229
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:38.279
<v Speaker 1>with the heart, even now as I'm preaching, or other

230
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>times when you hear the word of God, if you

231
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>are receiving it, let me say this way. If you

232
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>are hearing it in faith and receiving it in faith,

233
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 1>you know what. It's medicine to you, and it's working.

234
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 1>If you hear the word of God and you mix

235
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.559
<v Speaker 1>it with faith, then you're taking the medicine. You're taking

236
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:08.599
<v Speaker 1>medicine right now, right now. Now, think about how does

237
00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 1>medicine work. You don't take a tablet and in three

238
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>seconds all the symptoms are gone. That truly would be

239
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a miracle drug. But it doesn't work that way. You

240
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 1>don't take a tablet and say wow, three seconds there

241
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that's gone. Go your merry way. But what is typical

242
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.839
<v Speaker 1>of medicine. It's progressive. Remember Jesus said, you'll lay hands

243
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>on the sick and they will recover. Said the nobleman's

244
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 1>son began to amend. From that hour, says of the

245
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.200
<v Speaker 1>ten lepers. As they went, they were healed. Now in

246
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.359
<v Speaker 1>Jesus ministry, people it wasn't very long because he was

247
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 1>operating under an anointing like nobody's ever operated on, because

248
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 1>he had to the spirit without measure, and he was sinless.

249
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, when you, when this spirit of God can

250
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 1>find a vessel that is sinless and has the spirit

251
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.319
<v Speaker 1>without measure, that the annoying is going to be so strong.

252
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But nonetheless, a lot of things happened progressively. They start unnoticeable,

253
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>but you keep getting better and better and better until

254
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:27.039
<v Speaker 1>every symptom is gone and you have the full manifestation.

255
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>Remember Mary, when the Angel appeared to her, she said,

256
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.680
<v Speaker 1>be it unto me, according to thy word. She believed

257
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the word. Well, she didn't get pregnant. I mean, she

258
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 1>can't give birth the next day. It was nine months

259
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>before she gave birth. But it began the minute she believed.

260
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>The Angel said to her, blessed is she that believes

261
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 1>there shall be a performance of those things which were

262
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 1>spoken under her. It's out reads in the literal, there

263
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.720
<v Speaker 1>shall be a performance of those things that were spoken

264
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>unto her. Or all things are possible to those who believe.

265
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:13.799
<v Speaker 1>So oftentimes it's progressive. Now, when the spirit of God

266
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 1>is moving, when the gifts of the spirit of moving.

267
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 1>There are many times instantaneous manifestations. But if you notice,

268
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 1>even in large gatherings, you can have thousands of people

269
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and really just a small number of those thousands receive

270
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 1>an instantaneous manifestations as the spirit wills. And we don't

271
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.000
<v Speaker 1>fully understand how it all works and why. But the

272
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:42.640
<v Speaker 1>word of God we know is reliable. Believing the word

273
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.279
<v Speaker 1>of God is reliable, he says, it's health, healing, medicine,

274
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:52.400
<v Speaker 1>remedy and cure to all your flesh. John G. Lake

275
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous pioneer of faith and minister of healing, he

276
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.759
<v Speaker 1>said in his writings he said, sometimes I think our

277
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 1>instantaneous healings are actually a curse for us, because he said,

278
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>people that get them, they just tend to go right

279
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>back on their way and forget all about it and

280
00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:14.599
<v Speaker 1>do their own thing and don't learn anything about faith,

281
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and don't continue in the word, don't build their faith up.

282
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 1>But as you continue to feed on God's word, read

283
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>God's word, study God's word. His word is life and

284
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 1>health and medicine, remedy and cure to all your flesh,

285
00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to all your flesh, medicine. Now, things are often inert

286
00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>until mixed with an activator. When it comes to medicine

287
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.680
<v Speaker 1>or chemicals and things like that, you can have something

288
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:03.319
<v Speaker 1>that's just it's just dormant until you mix it with

289
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.519
<v Speaker 1>the right thing. And then sometimes you mix it with

290
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 1>you take take somebody's just sitting there doing nothing. But

291
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.480
<v Speaker 1>if you mix the right things, whether you can have

292
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:16.519
<v Speaker 1>an explosion, or it can start bubbling, or it can

293
00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:20.200
<v Speaker 1>do all kinds of things. Once you mix with something

294
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that's just lying there dormant. Well, when it comes to

295
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:28.039
<v Speaker 1>the Word of God, we need to mix faith with it,

296
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:32.480
<v Speaker 1>believe it in our heart. Go to Hebrews chapter four.

297
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Hebrews chapter four. It's so important that we take the

298
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>word of God, believe it in our heart, mix faith

299
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 1>with it, and it comes alive. It begins to work.

300
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Now I don't propose to have the final word on it,

301
00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but after many years of study about the heart and

302
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>trying to discern, well, what's the entry and the spirit

303
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and the soul and the heart and the flesh and

304
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 1>these different things, I've come to the conclusion and the persuasion.

305
00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, for many years it was taught that the

306
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>heart is the spirit. But there's problems with that because

307
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Jesus said one place said how the heart of man

308
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>come adultery and fornication and lies, and how the heart

309
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:35.839
<v Speaker 1>of man, Well, that couldn't be the recreated spirit. But

310
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 1>yet other places it seems to refer to the spirit.

311
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>Other places it seems to refer to the soul, the

312
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.799
<v Speaker 1>mind of will, emotions, and intellect. I'm persuaded that the

313
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 1>heart is the spirit and the soul combined, that the

314
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>heart contains both the spirit and the soul. And some

315
00:23:55.920 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 1>proof texts for that would be Romans. We won't turn

316
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.160
<v Speaker 1>there for sake of time, but Romans, well, maybe we

317
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.920
<v Speaker 1>should hold your place there in Hebrews and go to

318
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:15.119
<v Speaker 1>Romans chapter two, Romans chapter two. And in fact I

319
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.039
<v Speaker 1>first heard Bob Yandy and the pastor and Tulsa, the

320
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>former professor teacher at Raymad Bible Training Center, allude to this.

321
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.640
<v Speaker 1>And he said he was talking about how he said

322
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times the different instructors and teachers that

323
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Ray would get together and they'd say, what is the heart?

324
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:37.640
<v Speaker 1>How do we figure out what the heart is? Because

325
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.079
<v Speaker 1>obviously someplace it can't just be the spirit, and other

326
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.119
<v Speaker 1>places it is and that and look at Romans two

327
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine, it gives us some insight into the heart.

328
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>But he is a Jew who is one inwardly. And

329
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>circumcision is that of the heart in the spirit, of

330
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 1>the heart in the spirit, with the understanding that the

331
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 1>spirit is a part of the heart in the spirit,

332
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.519
<v Speaker 1>the heart in the spirit. And then if you go

333
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 1>over to first Peter chapter three one Peter chapter three,

334
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 1>in verse three it talks about godly women, who says,

335
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>whose adorning. Let it not be that outward adorning of

336
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 1>braiding the hair, and of wearing of gold and the

337
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 1>putting on of apparel verse four, But let it be

338
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the hidden man of the heart, in that which is

339
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 1>not creftible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.

340
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>So so for I would I believe that the heart

341
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.599
<v Speaker 1>contains means, the spirit and the soul. One it's talking

342
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.599
<v Speaker 1>about believe with the heart. It's to believe it in

343
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>our spirit and be persuaded in our mind, to have

344
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.119
<v Speaker 1>a renewed mind, to have it down in our heart,

345
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 1>or we've meditated on it. Proverbs four kind of gives

346
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:19.359
<v Speaker 1>us the formula forgetting it in our heart. It says,

347
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>attend to it, incline your ears to it, Let it

348
00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:26.680
<v Speaker 1>not depart from before your eyes, keep it in the

349
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 1>midst of your heart. That if we will attend to it,

350
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 1>incline our ears to it, don't let it depart from

351
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.200
<v Speaker 1>our before eyes, it'll get down into our heart. See

352
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the word of God to become medicine to us and

353
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 1>for us to believe it with our heart. And a

354
00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:47.519
<v Speaker 1>lot of times, whether we want to admit it or not,

355
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 1>our problem in receiving is we're not believing with the heart.

356
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:57.799
<v Speaker 1>We're just acknowledging it with the head. We just say, oh, yeah,

357
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe that, or I know that, but we don't

358
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>really believe it in the heart. And it says with

359
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>the heart, man, believeth Jesus a doubt, not in your heart.

360
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Guard your heart with all diligence. So to get it

361
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 1>down in our heart, we need to attend to it.

362
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:19.319
<v Speaker 1>We need to incline our ear to it. We need

363
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to let it not depart from before our eyes. We

364
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 1>need to keep it, guard it. Why would God tell

365
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.559
<v Speaker 1>us to attend to it, to incline our ears to it,

366
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:35.920
<v Speaker 1>to let him not depart from before us, to keep

367
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:38.319
<v Speaker 1>keep in the midst of our heart. Why would he

368
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:40.279
<v Speaker 1>say that because there's a whole lot of people that

369
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 1>are not doing that. He would not tell us we

370
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 1>had to do all those things if everybody was automatically

371
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 1>doing it. See the Word of God, reading it, studying it.

372
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not a one time thing. This is not like

373
00:27:58.400 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 1>other books. Well, you can read them one time and

374
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 1>say okay, I read it and I'm done, and probably

375
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:09.160
<v Speaker 1>never read it again. You think I may books you've

376
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 1>read over your life. Well, probably some people could count

377
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.119
<v Speaker 1>on two hands how many they've read over their life.

378
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.160
<v Speaker 1>You know some people they never read, but then other

379
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.400
<v Speaker 1>people are voracious readers. But whatever the case, say how

380
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.599
<v Speaker 1>many books you read over your life, and very few

381
00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>of them you read more than once. It's got to

382
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.519
<v Speaker 1>be a really really good book to read more than once.

383
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 1>But the Bible is not like that. It's not like

384
00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 1>when you read it and you say, okay, I read it,

385
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm done. It's to be read, studied, meditated on, constantly, continually, prayerfully, diligently,

386
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:57.200
<v Speaker 1>reverently read it all the time, all the time. You

387
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of folking read through the whole Bible.

388
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:05.799
<v Speaker 1>They call themselves Christians. I'm saying you'll lose your salvation.

389
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 1>But it's gonna be a little embarrassing when you go

390
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:11.559
<v Speaker 1>to heaven meet a zekei and he says, Hi, have

391
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 1>you read my book? And you go, uh, Nope, Jonah, Jonah,

392
00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.720
<v Speaker 1>have you read my book? Nope. It's just good to

393
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>get an overview, and a one year Bible is a

394
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:28.680
<v Speaker 1>great help to doing that. Take that one year Bible

395
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 1>and just you know, it'll keep you on course. It'll

396
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:35.319
<v Speaker 1>keep you on track. I estimate I've read through the

397
00:29:35.359 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>whole Bible over thirty times, just through that one year Bible.

398
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And this year I took a break and I noticed

399
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:43.279
<v Speaker 1>my Bible reading is not as good as it's been

400
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.400
<v Speaker 1>when I got the one year Bible. Still reading it,

401
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>but I said, I'm not not as on track as

402
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I would be if I had the one year Bible going.

403
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 1>So I'm probably get it out again next year. But

404
00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:03.440
<v Speaker 1>get into the word regularly, consistently, constant, careful, diligent, reverend,

405
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:08.720
<v Speaker 1>prayerful study of God's Word as we practice all four

406
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of those things and proverbs for attend to it and

407
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>cline your ear to it, let it not depart from

408
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:16.559
<v Speaker 1>before your eyes, keep it in the misyard. That's how

409
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:20.799
<v Speaker 1>it gets down into your heart, read it, study it,

410
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>meditate it, and you get it down in your heart,

411
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 1>get your mind renewed to it. You believe with your heart,

412
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and you see it come to pass as Jesus said,

413
00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it's supposed to work. Now, look at Hebrews chapter four,

414
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 1>verse two. For unto us was the gospel preached as

415
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:45.000
<v Speaker 1>well as unto them. But the word preached did not

416
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>profit them, not being mixed with faith, not being mixed

417
00:30:52.599 --> 00:31:00.000
<v Speaker 1>with faith in them, that hurt it. So people can

418
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 1>and hear the word preach to them. They can hear

419
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a tremendous message, an anointed message, a powerful message, but

420
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:09.359
<v Speaker 1>if they don't mix faith with it, it's not going

421
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>to profit them. So we must mix faith with it.

422
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Dake and his commentary on this verse says, the idea

423
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.799
<v Speaker 1>is that of the human body, in this idea mixing

424
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.640
<v Speaker 1>with it. He said, this word in the Greek, it's

425
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:31.200
<v Speaker 1>like it's taken from the human body, which kept alive

426
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:35.440
<v Speaker 1>by the proper mixing of food with the saliva and

427
00:31:35.480 --> 00:31:40.799
<v Speaker 1>the gastric juices. Should this mixture not take place, such

428
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.640
<v Speaker 1>food would be a means of death rather than life.

429
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.319
<v Speaker 1>So he said, if somebody takes in food but it's

430
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>not properly mixed with saliva and gastric juices. The very

431
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 1>thing that should produce life produces death and the word

432
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of God. If it's not properly mixed with faith, with

433
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.119
<v Speaker 1>believing in the heart, it can actually produce a form

434
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of death rather than life. So what does it mean

435
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to mix faith with it? Well, let's look at before

436
00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.400
<v Speaker 1>we close there just what it doesn't mean. And I

437
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>think God helps us know what it does mean. To

438
00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:25.920
<v Speaker 1>mix faith with it means as you hear the word,

439
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 1>as you read the words, you study your word, don't

440
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>reject it, don't doubt it, don't ignore it, don't be

441
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:37.519
<v Speaker 1>distracted from it. You know, when you're reading on your own,

442
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 1>guard against your mind being distracted, in your mind wandering.

443
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:43.079
<v Speaker 1>And as long as the devil knows he can gets

444
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you to do that, he'll just wreak havoc in your

445
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>life till you teach him that, No, I'm not going

446
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>to be distracted no matter what you do, I'm going

447
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:55.839
<v Speaker 1>to focus. I'm going to focus. When you're in church.

448
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Teach yourself when you're in a meeting, in the words

449
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:02.359
<v Speaker 1>being preached teachers, well, not to be distracted, to focus.

450
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 1>The lock in on what's being said. Somebody gets up

451
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and goes to the bathroom. You've seen it once, you'll

452
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>see it a thousand times. It's amazing, though. Notice, especially

453
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday morning, I'll be preached along. Somebody gets something

454
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and goes the bathroom. She's about fifteen heads. It's like

455
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.000
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to the bathroom. There's nothing to see,

456
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and you're going to possibly miss the very thing that

457
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:30.960
<v Speaker 1>could turn your life around. But we're so easily distracted.

458
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Somebody start looking at the fans. You know, it's hello.

459
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:39.000
<v Speaker 1>You know I'm saying something may help you here. You know, Wow,

460
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know there's all those knotholes in there. One knotholes.

461
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:45.000
<v Speaker 1>It's like, we get so easily Oh what does she

462
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 1>have on today? Where'd she get that? I wanted? We

463
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 1>had to talk to about that, you know, so easily distracted,

464
00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:59.039
<v Speaker 1>so easily distracted. I like what her brother Coplan say,

465
00:33:59.079 --> 00:34:01.240
<v Speaker 1>He said, you ought to be so focus, so locked

466
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.880
<v Speaker 1>into the word of God. They're in a meeting. If

467
00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:06.079
<v Speaker 1>the lights go off and a bomb goes off, you

468
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.840
<v Speaker 1>just sit there and say, keep preaching, keep preaching. You know,

469
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:16.280
<v Speaker 1>that's locked in, that's focused, that's how important because the

470
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 1>word is life. It's life. It's life now. You know,

471
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:26.360
<v Speaker 1>even right now as I'm preaching, there could be somebody

472
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you just didn't hear a word I said the last

473
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 1>five minutes because your mind I said something in your

474
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:34.280
<v Speaker 1>mind went off on something else, you know. But that's

475
00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:37.800
<v Speaker 1>why you got to train yourself to focus. I'll tell

476
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you a great thing to do. It's not easy, but

477
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:44.639
<v Speaker 1>it works. It was when somebody's preaching, repeat back in

478
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:48.559
<v Speaker 1>your mind everything that said. Wow, you want to really

479
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.960
<v Speaker 1>soak out of a message, all that's in there, It's amazing.

480
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Right after they say it, you say it back in

481
00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:59.760
<v Speaker 1>your mind. And I and I work on doing that.

482
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Most of the time I'm not listening, I'm preaching. But

483
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 1>when I do that, I do real good for about

484
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 1>five or ten minutes. You know. The next thing, I know, Oh,

485
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.039
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to do that. But you got to train yourself.

486
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 1>You just repeat it back to yourself. Hopefully some of

487
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:19.559
<v Speaker 1>you are doing it right now, repeating it back to yourself,

488
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and you'll realize you'll get a whole lot more out

489
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>of a message. You ever listen to a message on

490
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:27.079
<v Speaker 1>CD or tape or maybe you're there live and you

491
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:28.719
<v Speaker 1>hear it, and then you get the CD or tape

492
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.199
<v Speaker 1>and then you re listen to it. I mean, I've

493
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.039
<v Speaker 1>been in meetings before, we've had guest speakers in and

494
00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.679
<v Speaker 1>I got the CD and I listened to it, and

495
00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it'll be like five minutes. I'm going, Where was I.

496
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:43.559
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even hear that. I was there on the

497
00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 1>front row nodding in agreement. I didn't even hear it.

498
00:35:47.960 --> 00:35:52.280
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing how we can Our minds can wander. Some

499
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 1>people's minds can wander a whole lot more readily and

500
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.880
<v Speaker 1>easily than other people's minds. But we're to take every

501
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:03.320
<v Speaker 1>thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. Bring your

502
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:07.360
<v Speaker 1>mind into line, and say we're going to focus. We're

503
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:12.519
<v Speaker 1>going to mix faith with the word of God. Don't

504
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.840
<v Speaker 1>be distracted. Joshua and Caleb, they mixed faith with the

505
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:20.519
<v Speaker 1>word of God. God said, I've given you the land,

506
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and they mixed faith with They said, our God is

507
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:26.719
<v Speaker 1>well able, we can do it. The Ten Spies and

508
00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:29.599
<v Speaker 1>the children of Israel, they didn't mix faith with it. Yeah,

509
00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 1>God said it, but yeah, we know he said it.

510
00:36:33.639 --> 00:36:35.880
<v Speaker 1>But that's how a lot of people are. Yeah, but

511
00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.559
<v Speaker 1>they didn't mix faith with it. They didn't receive the promise.

512
00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:44.000
<v Speaker 1>They didn't go into the promised land. They did not

513
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:48.400
<v Speaker 1>go into the promised land. We read it last week,

514
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I think and Luke. It says that Jesus went and

515
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he preached, and the power of the Lord was present

516
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:59.079
<v Speaker 1>to heal them. And none of them were getting healed

517
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:02.880
<v Speaker 1>even though the power was present. Why because nobody was

518
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:06.280
<v Speaker 1>mixing faith with it until they let the man down

519
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:09.880
<v Speaker 1>through the roof, and it said Jesus, seeing their faith,

520
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.400
<v Speaker 1>said rise, take up your bed and walk. They mixed

521
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:18.400
<v Speaker 1>faith with the word of God, so we must mix

522
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:24.519
<v Speaker 1>faith with it. Morgan G. Campbell said this, we'll have

523
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:29.360
<v Speaker 1>the quote on the screen. Where faith is lacking, the

524
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:36.920
<v Speaker 1>provisions of God are unavailing or unavailable. Where faith is lacking,

525
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:41.079
<v Speaker 1>the provisions of God are unavailing. In other words, we

526
00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have faith, we don't receive the provision. Matthew Henry

527
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:49.119
<v Speaker 1>and his commentary said, there have been in all ages

528
00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>many unprofitable hearers, and unbelief is at the root of

529
00:37:55.840 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 1>all unfruitfulness under the word. There have been in all

530
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:04.400
<v Speaker 1>ages many unprofitable hearers, and unbelief is at the root

531
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>of all unfruitfulness under the word. Faith in the hearer

532
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>is the life of the word. Faith in the hearer

533
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is the life of the word. Warsby comments. Only as

534
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.760
<v Speaker 1>the word is mixed with faith can it accomplish its purposes.

535
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.599
<v Speaker 1>Only when it's mixed with faith can it accomplish his purpose.

536
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:33.559
<v Speaker 1>God's word is medicine. It's actually time released medicine. You

537
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 1>take it, and keep taking it, and keep taking it,

538
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and you get better and better and better and more

539
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and more healed and whole and complete. Time release medicine.

540
00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Just keep taking there's the medicine. There's no medicine like

541
00:38:51.920 --> 00:38:57.119
<v Speaker 1>God's medicine. I mean, every medicine, it doesn't matter what is,

542
00:38:57.159 --> 00:39:03.639
<v Speaker 1>even an aspirin, has potential adverse side effects. Every medicine.

543
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not against medicine, but people folk need to realize

544
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:11.639
<v Speaker 1>they take medicine, there are potential adverse side effects. And

545
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I know people that are taking medicine to overcome the

546
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:18.440
<v Speaker 1>side effects of the other medicine, of the side effects

547
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of the first medicine that they're taking. They're taking four

548
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:27.519
<v Speaker 1>and five medicines and the second, third, and fourth and

549
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 1>fifth one are to deal with the side effects from

550
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:35.199
<v Speaker 1>the first and second one so potential adverse. God's word

551
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:40.800
<v Speaker 1>has no adverse side effects except life and joy and

552
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:43.519
<v Speaker 1>peace and freedom and victory. If you want to say

553
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:49.320
<v Speaker 1>those are adverse, and they're not. God's word is medicine,

554
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 1>but it does no good until we find it. It's

555
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 1>life to those who find it. We have to find it,

556
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:02.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to acquire it, we have to take it

557
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:07.039
<v Speaker 1>according to directions, and we have to mix faith with it.

558
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's look at it one more time. As we close.

559
00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:15.880
<v Speaker 1>God's direction, his prescription for taking his medicine, his word

560
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>real simple. Here four things. Attend to God's word. Incline

561
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>your ear to God's word. Let not God's word depart

562
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.440
<v Speaker 1>from your eyes, and keep it in the midst of

563
00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:33.159
<v Speaker 1>your heart. Keep God's word, And as we looked at before,

564
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it entails the whole being, mind, eyes, ears, mouth, tongue,

565
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the whole being, the heart. Really, the heart is the

566
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:56.239
<v Speaker 1>whole man, the whole being. Hallelujah. Somebody define heart dostly,

567
00:40:56.360 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 1>they said, the heart is the seat of the total personality.

568
00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Where to keep our hearts with all diligence. What we

569
00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:08.199
<v Speaker 1>hear is important, what we study is important, what we

570
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:11.719
<v Speaker 1>see is important. We should recognize that out of the

571
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:15.639
<v Speaker 1>heart will come all the great issues of life. Think

572
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of it. Out of your heart come all the issues

573
00:41:18.320 --> 00:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>of life. Guard your heart. Get into the Word of God.

574
00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:28.159
<v Speaker 1>It's medicine, medicine. Believe with your heart. How do I

575
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:30.760
<v Speaker 1>get it into my heart? Attend to it and cline

576
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:34.920
<v Speaker 1>your ear to it. Keep it before your eyes. What

577
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 1>you hear is important. What you study is important. What

578
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:42.199
<v Speaker 1>you see is important. Guard your heart. Guard what goes

579
00:41:42.239 --> 00:41:44.400
<v Speaker 1>into your mind, what goes into your eyes, what goes

580
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:48.159
<v Speaker 1>into your heart, guard it, guard it. Feed on the

581
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 1>word of God. Don't feed on the junk of this world,

582
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:54.599
<v Speaker 1>the doubt and the unbelief, and the fear and the negativity.

583
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.079
<v Speaker 1>That's not going to produce faith. It's going to produce

584
00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:02.639
<v Speaker 1>doubt and fear. Fathering the name of Jesus, we thank you.

585
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Your words are life to us, for we have found

586
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:13.960
<v Speaker 1>them in health, healing, medicine, remedy and cure to all

587
