Speaker 1: Chapter six, verse seventeen. Actually, before we go there, I
Speaker 1: did want to. Last week we were talking about the
Speaker 1: power twins faith and patience and how important it is
Speaker 1: to exercise patience or endurance, steadfastness, perseverance. I think the
Speaker 1: word patience in our Western thinking, in our English vocabulary,
Speaker 1: we don't really we tend to think a lot of
Speaker 1: people tend to think of patience, well, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: wait and see what happens, and that's how they think
Speaker 1: of patience. I'm just gonna wait and see what happens.
Speaker 1: But that's not Biblical patience. Bible patience is we looked
Speaker 1: at it, who promenade to stand under to its energetic resistance.
Speaker 1: It's the power of endurance without complaint. It's cheerful endurance,
Speaker 1: it's steadfastness, perseverance, endurance. Bible says to faith and patience,
Speaker 1: faith and patience, we inherit the promise. Hebrews says we
Speaker 1: have need of patients, says we need to run our
Speaker 1: race with patients, fight or fight with patience, endurance, steadfastness,
Speaker 1: and again towards the end, I mentioned that, you know
Speaker 1: a lot of times people think that patience comes out
Speaker 1: of trials, which is a religious tradition of men that
Speaker 1: is unscriptural, but many people believe it. They bought into it.
Speaker 1: It's a clever lie of the devil to get us
Speaker 1: to somehow accept the trials as in some way instead
Speaker 1: of resist them and fight them. And I just touched
Speaker 1: on that. I did want to just add a couple
Speaker 1: things before move on. If you didn't get here, we
Speaker 1: weren't here and didn't hear that message, I'd encourage you
Speaker 1: to get it in the bookstore, listen to it online.
Speaker 1: The power to win faith and patience because when it
Speaker 1: comes to healing, the force of patience and during steadfastness
Speaker 1: is so critical. You're there on Luke six, hold your place,
Speaker 1: or go to Romans fifteen. Romans fifteen, and we'll look
Speaker 1: at this first. In the King James, and then in
Speaker 1: the NIV brings it out. Well, there's many other translations.
Speaker 1: That's the subtle change there that don't quite get in
Speaker 1: the NIV. But I said that patience, of spiritual force
Speaker 1: of patience doesn't come from trials. It comes from the
Speaker 1: Word of God, from the Spirit of God, from God himself. Now,
Speaker 1: the religious thinking is, well, trials produce patients, and there's
Speaker 1: no scripture that says that, the scripture that people have
Speaker 1: twisted to say that, But when you really examine what
Speaker 1: it's saying, it's not saying that. And I wanted to
Speaker 1: just highlight a couple of scriptures before we get into
Speaker 1: tonight's lesson to buttress what I said last week that
Speaker 1: patience comes from the Word of God. Look at Romans fifteen,
Speaker 1: verse four. For whatever things were written in earlier times
Speaker 1: or four time, were written for our learning that we
Speaker 1: through patience and comfort of the scriptures. Notice that through
Speaker 1: patients of the scriptures. If word patients is a word,
Speaker 1: who pominatee through patients of the scriptures. Notice it doesn't
Speaker 1: say that we through the patients that comes from trials
Speaker 1: or the patients from trials. It doesn't say that says
Speaker 1: patients of the scriptures might have hope. Look at it
Speaker 1: in the NIV. We'll put that up on the screen
Speaker 1: because it brings it out in a little clearer from the
Speaker 1: King James Romans fifteen to four. The NIV for everything
Speaker 1: that was written in the past was written to teach us. Notice,
Speaker 1: so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures,
Speaker 1: the endurance, the patience, the steadfastness, the perseverance of the scriptures,
Speaker 1: not of trials of the scriptures, we might have hope.
Speaker 1: Then if you look at the next version and keep
Speaker 1: it up an NIV verse five, May the God who
Speaker 1: gives endurance, who promenade patience, steadfastness, perseverance, God gives it,
Speaker 1: not trials. I mean again, if trials produced patience, endurance, steadfastness,
Speaker 1: we should be praying for more trials. By want me
Speaker 1: to pray to to have more trials, Stand up and
Speaker 1: I'll pray with you right now. You have more trials. Again,
Speaker 1: if trials produced steadfast and endurance, nobody would have need
Speaker 1: of patience because anybody's had plenty of trials. Nowhere the
Speaker 1: scriptures are that we told pray for trials so you
Speaker 1: might have more patience no patience comes patience steadfastened and
Speaker 1: comes from scriptures from the God of patience, the God
Speaker 1: who gives endurance and encouragement, give your spirit of unity.
Speaker 1: And on it goes Revelations three ten. As a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, the word of God is referred to as
Speaker 1: the Word of his patience, the word of his patience.
Speaker 1: Now let's look at one more James, Chapter one. This
Speaker 1: is a scripture that gets mangled by religious tradition many times,
Speaker 1: and I don't have the adequate time to elaborate on it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to touch on it just maybe we'll get
Speaker 1: into it. We probably will get into this when we
Speaker 1: look at roadblocks the healing in one of the future
Speaker 1: healing sessions healing school sessions. But just notice James, Chapter one,
Speaker 1: verse two. I'm in the king, James, my brethren, count
Speaker 1: it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations or
Speaker 1: test trials. In fact, my Bible updates certain phrases, and
Speaker 1: it's got count it all joy when you fall into
Speaker 1: various trials. Knowing this that the trying or the testing
Speaker 1: of your faith worketh patients. But let patients have a
Speaker 1: perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire wanting nothing. Now,
Speaker 1: here's how tradition reads this. Verse two, here's how the
Speaker 1: traditions of men read it, My brethren, it is a
Speaker 1: joy when God leads you into temptations, tests and trials.
Speaker 1: It is a joy when God allows and brings temptations,
Speaker 1: tests and trials into your life. It doesn't say that
Speaker 1: James wasn't a masochist. He didn't say, oh, it's just
Speaker 1: it's such a joy to have temptations, tests and trials.
Speaker 1: But that's how tradition reads it, and it is a joy.
Speaker 1: In fact, they tell you, oh, just rejoice when the
Speaker 1: devil's beating over the head and you're going through all
Speaker 1: kinds of hard times, just rejoice. And it's not a joy.
Speaker 1: You're laying in a hospital sick, that's not a joy.
Speaker 1: You just survived the car accident, Well you can be
Speaker 1: happy you survived it, but it's not a joy to
Speaker 1: be in one and on and on. It doesn't say
Speaker 1: it is a It says count it a joy. The
Speaker 1: word count is a Greek word which means to lead
Speaker 1: before the mind, or to consider or to esteem. It
Speaker 1: says it's It doesn't say it is a joy, but
Speaker 1: for the sake of the force of praise and joy.
Speaker 1: Consider it a joy. Say no, I'm going to rejoice
Speaker 1: in this. I'm going to praise God for the victory
Speaker 1: in this. Say it's in the ear of sickness or disease,
Speaker 1: that's not the joy. But consider it a joy. Begin
Speaker 1: to say, Lord, I praise you for my healing. I
Speaker 1: thank you by your stripes. I'm healed. I'm considering this
Speaker 1: a joy that I can come through this trial victorious.
Speaker 1: I can overcome it. And notice it doesn't say when
Speaker 1: God puts it on you were God allows it into
Speaker 1: your life for some sovereign, unknown reason. When you fall,
Speaker 1: when you fall, not God leads you when you fall,
Speaker 1: when you fall in the diverse temptation, tests and trials,
Speaker 1: go ahead and get the force of joy working, because
Speaker 1: the joy of the Lord is your strength, and the
Speaker 1: word temptations also means tests and trials Verse three. Knowing this,
Speaker 1: we can counted a joy. Knowing this that the trying
Speaker 1: of your faith worketh patience. Now, notice what it does
Speaker 1: not say the trying of your faith produces patience. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've got translation that says that it's wrong, I've
Speaker 1: studied it out into Greek. That word worketh does not
Speaker 1: mean produce. If it does, we got a major problem
Speaker 1: because in Philippians two twelve, the same Greek word translated
Speaker 1: worketh is rendered work out your own salvation with fear
Speaker 1: and trembling, work out your own salvation with fear. And
Speaker 1: so if the word worketh here means you know what
Speaker 1: that's saying, produce your own salvation, we got a problem
Speaker 1: now because we're saved by grace, not through works, say
Speaker 1: by faith. So if that word works means produced, and
Speaker 1: it says produce your the same word and Flippings two twelve,
Speaker 1: it would have to say produce your own salvation. No,
Speaker 1: it's translated properly there it says worked out. What this
Speaker 1: is saying, knowing that the trying of your faith works
Speaker 1: out patience. When we go through trials, test temptations, it
Speaker 1: works out the patience that has been worked in by
Speaker 1: the scriptures and the God of patience. Assuming we've done
Speaker 1: our work, assuming we've gotten into the word of God,
Speaker 1: assuming we've spent time with God and he's we've allowed
Speaker 1: him to work patience who prominade into us, then we
Speaker 1: encounter a trial, and that spiritual force of patience endurance
Speaker 1: head fastness, perseverance rises up and it goes to work.
Speaker 1: Now what happens when it goes to work? Verse four?
Speaker 1: But let patience have her perfect work. Let it go
Speaker 1: ahead and work. And what will be the end result
Speaker 1: is you let at endurance, steadfastness, perseverance, at who Pomenae
Speaker 1: have her perfect work. You will be perfect and entire,
Speaker 1: wanting nothing? Whoa wanting nothing? It'll get you out of
Speaker 1: the trial. How do I know that? Because if the
Speaker 1: patience and the faith won't get you out of the trial,
Speaker 1: you'd still be wanting something. You'd be wanting out of
Speaker 1: the trial. But you're wanting nothing now because patience and
Speaker 1: endurance Pomenae has had her perfect work. And now you
Speaker 1: are perfect and entire. You've come through the trial victoriously,
Speaker 1: faith and patience inherited the promise, and you want nothing.
Speaker 1: Glory to God, hallelujah. Now I've never seen this before
Speaker 1: until this week. I was doing some is in my
Speaker 1: morning devotions and I was doing some reading and this
Speaker 1: just dropped into me and I thought, oh, there's more
Speaker 1: light on that passage. Notice if the trials were the
Speaker 1: ones that were good for us, like people say, oh,
Speaker 1: the trials are good. I mean, I've read authors of
Speaker 1: best selling books say it. I've heard them say it
Speaker 1: on Christian television. It's everywhere almost that the trials somehow
Speaker 1: are good for us. We don't fully understand. But God
Speaker 1: brings it into our life, or God allows it, or
Speaker 1: God has some unknown sovereign purpose because he's perfecting us
Speaker 1: and producing character in us through the trials. No, that's
Speaker 1: what the Word does, that's what the Spirit does. God
Speaker 1: doesn't need the devil. The trials come, Jesus told us.
Speaker 1: He said, the devil comes to steal the Word of God,
Speaker 1: and trials and tribulation and pressure arises for the Word's sake.
Speaker 1: The devil trying to get the Word out of our life.
Speaker 1: Mark chapter four. Notice it's the trying of your faith.
Speaker 1: You know what's really on trial. It's not you, it's
Speaker 1: your faith. The devil's after your faith because if he
Speaker 1: can get your faith, he can get you. Doesn't say
Speaker 1: you're necessarily on trial, says the trying of your faith.
Speaker 1: The devil's trying to steal your faith. But if it
Speaker 1: was the trials that made us perfect and entire and
Speaker 1: got us through, what knew what this would say? Let
Speaker 1: the trials have their perfect work. I thought, I never
Speaker 1: saw that before. That's what it would say. If it
Speaker 1: was the trials that were producing all the good, it
Speaker 1: would say, go ahead, let the trials have their perfect work.
Speaker 1: That you may be perfect entire wanting nothing. But it
Speaker 1: doesn't say that. You see how we read stuff into
Speaker 1: the scriptures that isn't even there. People put on these
Speaker 1: religious glasses and these traditions of men because so many
Speaker 1: times they've been seminary trained with just more tradition and more.
Speaker 1: You know, we had well, we had that video series
Speaker 1: The God who Speaks, and that guy on the video
Speaker 1: series said that, how did he say it? He said
Speaker 1: it took him ten years to unlearn what he learned
Speaker 1: in four years or something like that. And I told
Speaker 1: you I had a guy that went through seminary. He said,
Speaker 1: I had to unlearned ninety eight percent of what they
Speaker 1: taught me. So it doesn't say the trials have their
Speaker 1: perfect well, says let the patients the force of who
Speaker 1: promenade have a perfect work. You'll be perfect entire wanting nothing.
Speaker 1: And I'll just throw in one more nugget here and
Speaker 1: we'll move on verse five. If any of you lack wisdom.
Speaker 1: Let him ask of God that gives to all men liberally,
Speaker 1: and a braid'sknot, and it shall be given him, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna have time. But it goes on to say,
Speaker 1: make sure you're asking faith without waving. Got it? When
Speaker 1: you ask for wisdom in a situation, you got to
Speaker 1: believe you receive, right, Then you can't waver and say, well,
Speaker 1: I hope he gets it. He does. I hope I
Speaker 1: know you say I believe I received wisdom. Now this
Speaker 1: almost seems as you read this passage, you think, what
Speaker 1: hits like he changed horses in midstream. It's like, why
Speaker 1: do you start talking when he's talking about patience and
Speaker 1: going to come through trials, and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: he start talking about wisdom. Well, what he's talking about?
Speaker 1: This word wisdom is a Greek word sophia, and what
Speaker 1: w Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament word says, one
Speaker 1: of the meanings of sophia is insight into the true
Speaker 1: nature of a thing. When you're in a trial, sometimes
Speaker 1: you're thinking, what is going on here? How did this happen?
Speaker 1: How did this door get opened? How do I get
Speaker 1: out of this mess? What do I need to do.
Speaker 1: You need Sophia, You need wisdom, and he says, if
Speaker 1: you lack that wisdom, that insight into the true nature
Speaker 1: of what's going on, ask of God. The little Greek says,
Speaker 1: Ask of the giving God, who gives you all men liberally,
Speaker 1: and a braid's notot and it shall be given you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're in a trial, or sometimes when you're
Speaker 1: dealing with sickness or disease or financial lack or something
Speaker 1: like that, or things just he going wrong in your life,
Speaker 1: instead of just trying to get an instantaneous healing, will
Speaker 1: say say God, what's going on here? How's this getting in?
Speaker 1: How's the door opened to the enemy, what's happening here?
Speaker 1: It's good to pray, say, Lord, is there's something in
Speaker 1: the natural that I need to do or stop doing?
Speaker 1: Show me, because sometimes God can heal somebody just keep
Speaker 1: doing the very thing that got him in that mess
Speaker 1: in the first place. Like the classic illustration I give
Speaker 1: the guy that smokes cigarettes and he's got a lung problem,
Speaker 1: and he says, Oh, God, heal my lungs. If God
Speaker 1: were to heal his lungs and he kept smoking, he'd
Speaker 1: still have the problem. So we need wisdom, Sophia to
Speaker 1: know what's going on sometimes. And if you don't get
Speaker 1: anything when you ask, don't fret or fuss or try
Speaker 1: and dig something up. Say Lord, I'm just trusting you
Speaker 1: to show me if I'm missing it somewhere. I need
Speaker 1: to know something Other than that, I'm just going to
Speaker 1: keep standing. I'm going to keep believing. Don't get under condemnation.
Speaker 1: Don't let the devil beach you over the head like, oh,
Speaker 1: you must got some terrible sin in your life, and
Speaker 1: you'll know it if you do. Don't try and manufacture something,
Speaker 1: all right, So that's just about patience. Go back to
Speaker 1: Luke's six. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming
Speaker 1: Luke chapter six here and be healed. Hallelujah. We didn't
Speaker 1: even start to read that, did well? Okay, that's good
Speaker 1: Luke six seventeen. And he came down with them. Jesus
Speaker 1: came down with them and stood in the plane and
Speaker 1: the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of
Speaker 1: people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the
Speaker 1: seacoast of Tire and Sidon. Now, notice a great multitude.
Speaker 1: How many is a multitude? While scripture indicates a multitude
Speaker 1: is about a thousand or more. How much would a
Speaker 1: great multitude be. There's a lot of people, And notice
Speaker 1: this great multitude came to hear him and to be
Speaker 1: healed of their diseases. They came to hear and be healed,
Speaker 1: To hear and be healed. Circle that or underline that
Speaker 1: phrase here and be healed, Here and be healed. That's
Speaker 1: the theme for tonight, the message title tonight, and the
Speaker 1: theme for these next eight sessions of healing school. Here
Speaker 1: and be healed. It's not some clever phrase that I
Speaker 1: made up. It's right out of the word here and
Speaker 1: be healed. Here and be healed. They came to hear
Speaker 1: and be healed of their diseases, and they verse eighteen,
Speaker 1: that were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed.
Speaker 1: And the whole multitude sought to touch him, for there
Speaker 1: went virtue or power out of him and healed them all.
Speaker 1: That's Jesus, our healer, healing of all kinds. Notice in
Speaker 1: verse seventeen, they came to be healed of their diseases.
Speaker 1: Verse eighteen, those that were vexed with unclean spirits, So
Speaker 1: that could be demonic oppression of any sort, or mental oppression.
Speaker 1: Healing of all kinds, And it says verse nineteen, the
Speaker 1: whole multitude sought to touch him. So who knows what
Speaker 1: was in that whole multitude that they were dealing with,
Speaker 1: And they were all healed. Healing of all kinds starts
Speaker 1: with hearing. It starts with hearing. Now, most folk they
Speaker 1: want to bypass the hearing and just go right to
Speaker 1: the healing. Sometimes you don't need to be seeking the healing,
Speaker 1: you need to be seeking the hearing. Why do I
Speaker 1: say that Romans ten seventeen. What's it say? Faith comes
Speaker 1: by hearing? How are we healed by faith? Remember? Jesus
Speaker 1: said to the woman with the issue blood, woman, your faith,
Speaker 1: not my faith, not my power, not my virtue. Woman,
Speaker 1: your faith. Yes, virtue had gone out of Jesus. But
Speaker 1: he didn't say, oh, it is my great virtue. Woman,
Speaker 1: at your healed? He said, no, woman, it's your faith
Speaker 1: that has made you whole. He said to the blind man,
Speaker 1: according to your faith, be it unto you. Faith is
Speaker 1: the substance of things hoped for. Jesus said, whatever you believe,
Speaker 1: you shall receive. All things are possible to those who believe.
Speaker 1: Why do we need to hear? Because faith Romans ten
Speaker 1: seventeen comes by hearing and hearing the word of God.
Speaker 1: Proverbs four twenty to twenty two. If we don't look
Speaker 1: at tonight, we'll look at it next week, It says,
Speaker 1: my son, my daughter, attend to my word. Incline your
Speaker 1: ears to my sayings. Let them not depart from before
Speaker 1: thine eyes. Keep them in the midst of thy heart.
Speaker 1: For they my words are life to those who find
Speaker 1: them in health Hebrew word healing, medicine, remedy, and cure
Speaker 1: rapha to all their flesh. Now, everybody wants to get
Speaker 1: to the healing of all their flesh. But prior to that,
Speaker 1: it says, attend to his words. Incline your ears to
Speaker 1: his sayings, that they're not depart from before your eyes.
Speaker 1: Keep them in the midst of your heart. Here and
Speaker 1: be healed. Here and be healed. Now, what's Psalm one o.
Speaker 1: Seven twenty say he sent his word and it healed them?
Speaker 1: How did the word heal them? Because faith comes by
Speaker 1: hearing the word of God. Now, if we harken back,
Speaker 1: hold your placer and go to Exodus fifteen. If we
Speaker 1: harken back to the beginning of the healing covenant, this
Speaker 1: great revelation of yahweh Rapha, which we've talked about in
Speaker 1: teaching on the Names of God on Sunday mornings. But
Speaker 1: we go back to this healing covenant that God established
Speaker 1: not only with the children of Israel, but with you
Speaker 1: and I as yahweh Rapha or jehovah Rafa. The Lord
Speaker 1: your healer, the Lord your physician, the Lord your doctor.
Speaker 1: Is what it literally means, the word rapha, the he
Speaker 1: your healer, your physician, your doctor. If we harken back
Speaker 1: to that, Notice what so many people just gloss right
Speaker 1: over it in order to get to the latter part
Speaker 1: of verse twenty six. I am the Lord of healthy.
Speaker 1: You know, everybody just like pretty much glosses over everything
Speaker 1: that comes before that. Just I want to get to
Speaker 1: the part I am the Lord that heals me. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: Lord heal me. But notice is the Exodus fifteen twenty six,
Speaker 1: and He and God said, if say if say it again,
Speaker 1: if say it again, if you gotta circle that in
Speaker 1: your bible, if you will diligence, hearken, say diligently, hearken, diligently,
Speaker 1: hearken if you will diligently hearken to the voice here
Speaker 1: and be healed. If you will diligently hearken to the
Speaker 1: voice of the Lord your God Yahweh Elohem, and will
Speaker 1: do that which is right in his sight, and will
Speaker 1: give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes.
Speaker 1: I will put or Hebrew, I will allow none of
Speaker 1: these diseases upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians.
Speaker 1: He brought them upon the Egyptians. They weren't his children,
Speaker 1: they were his enemies, and it was judgment upon them.
Speaker 1: But God's not doing that the children, he says, which
Speaker 1: I've permitted to come upon the Egyptians and judgment for
Speaker 1: I am Yahweh Rafa, the Lord that healeth thee He says,
Speaker 1: I am your healer, I am your physician, I'm your doctor.
Speaker 1: And he said, you will discover that and realize that
Speaker 1: if if I don't like the if I don't want
Speaker 1: there to be any responsibility on my part. I just
Speaker 1: want God to do it. I don't want to have
Speaker 1: to do anything. If if you will diligently hearken to
Speaker 1: the voice of the Lord your God, and will do
Speaker 1: that which is right in his sight. One way you
Speaker 1: could look at this is one great promise and covenant
Speaker 1: and two great conditions, hearing and doing, hearing and doing,
Speaker 1: hearing and doing. Now we're going to break it down
Speaker 1: a little bit more, but you'll notice it says, diligently
Speaker 1: hearken and do and then give ear and keep. Those
Speaker 1: could both fall under that same category. Hear and do,
Speaker 1: here and do. He said, if you hear and do,
Speaker 1: I will be yahweh rafa to you. That rhymes I'm
Speaker 1: a poet and didn't know it. My feet are longfellows.
Speaker 1: Here and do here and do here and do. Now,
Speaker 1: notice he says, if you diligently hearken to the voice
Speaker 1: of the Lord your God. No God wants us healed.
Speaker 1: Healing is his will, Healing is his desire for his children.
Speaker 1: Think about he's put healing in the body. You cut
Speaker 1: your finger, even without exercising any faith, it heals. Why
Speaker 1: is that he's put healing in the body. Your body
Speaker 1: heals itself. I was ministering to somebody on the phone,
Speaker 1: praying with them this week, and they said they got
Speaker 1: disinfection and it's eaten away some of their jaw. And
Speaker 1: they said, but the doctors say, God, you are something else.
Speaker 1: The doctors say the jaw will actually re regenerate itself
Speaker 1: and grow back out. They said about six months it'll
Speaker 1: come back out. The Lord, you're amazing. But God wants
Speaker 1: us healed. It's his will, it's his desire, and we
Speaker 1: do things to hinder that, spiritually and naturally. Spiritually, doubt, fear, unbelief,
Speaker 1: wrong confession, these kind of things. Naturally, not taking care
Speaker 1: of ourselves, not getting enough rest, enough sleep, enough exercise,
Speaker 1: enough fresh air, not eating right, putting junk in our bodies.
Speaker 1: We do all these things to hinder the healing that
Speaker 1: God wants us to walk in. You can argue with it,
Speaker 1: you can debate about it, you can pooh pooh it,
Speaker 1: you can mock me, you can say I'm off the wall,
Speaker 1: but I'm standing on fact and you're standing on fiction
Speaker 1: on wishing, because there's no truth to what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: If you don't believe what I just said. Whatever man sows,
Speaker 1: that's how he also reap. Don't be deceived. God is
Speaker 1: not mocked. Whatever we sow, we reap. God has put
Speaker 1: healing in the body. He's given us an amazing immune system,
Speaker 1: and it should function a peak efficiency where it constantly
Speaker 1: drives away sickness and disease. Why doesn't it because we
Speaker 1: do things to hinder our immune system. Now, maybe you
Speaker 1: know some people you know it just thero'ugh, no fault
Speaker 1: of their own. They were born with it or something
Speaker 1: like that, and thank God there is healing for that.
Speaker 1: Don't get under condemnation. Just try and encourage us to
Speaker 1: receive all that God has for us. Nothing is impossible
Speaker 1: with God. Think about it, Nothing is impossible with God. Well,
Speaker 1: somebody says, well, I just believe if God wants me healed,
Speaker 1: I'll be healed. If God wants it, it'll just happen.
Speaker 1: Why did Jesus then tell us to pray thy will
Speaker 1: be done if his will is being done automatically. Why
Speaker 1: would we need to pray your will be done on
Speaker 1: earth as it is in heaven. If it's being done automatically,
Speaker 1: that's a we're wasting our prayers praying that. No, it's
Speaker 1: not being done automatically. Satan is the god of this world.
Speaker 1: We're in a fallen world. So let's look at this
Speaker 1: a little closer. Notice, he says diligently, hearken to the
Speaker 1: voice of the Lord your God. This word diligently hearken
Speaker 1: is actually two. It's actually a Hebrew word repeated twice.
Speaker 1: It's like, remember that will keep him in perfect peace,
Speaker 1: Shalom shalom. And the only way they could translate it
Speaker 1: is how do you translate shalom shalom well perfect peace?
Speaker 1: And this diligently hearken is one Hebrew word shama, which
Speaker 1: means to hear, repeated twice, so it's if you will
Speaker 1: shama shamah. This a word that's found about one thousand
Speaker 1: and sixty times in the New Old Testament shmaha here,
Speaker 1: and it means, according to Hebrew dictionaries, we'll have it
Speaker 1: on the screen here. It means to you here intelligently,
Speaker 1: with the implication of attention and obedience. See it's not
Speaker 1: just hearing it goes in one ear and out the other.
Speaker 1: It's hearing intelligently with attention and obedience. In the Hebrew thought,
Speaker 1: if you don't obey, you didn it here, just like
Speaker 1: a parent's thought if your kids don't obey, they did
Speaker 1: it here. Kurt. If you say to Mason to go
Speaker 1: do something, and then an hour later you say, well,
Speaker 1: you never did that, did you hear me say oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard your dad. No, you didn't hear me, because
Speaker 1: you still didn't take the trash out. You didn't hear
Speaker 1: me or heard your dad. No, you did it. If
Speaker 1: you'd have heard me, you'd have done it. And that's
Speaker 1: in the Hebrew mindset. If you don't obey, you haven't heard.
Speaker 1: And how many times people hear don't obey, which is
Speaker 1: why the New Testament tells us time and again be
Speaker 1: doers of the word and not hearers only. In other words,
Speaker 1: make sure you hear with the understanding attention obedience. In
Speaker 1: the Hebrew, they would say, one way to say it
Speaker 1: would be listening, listen, listening, listen. The Theological word Book
Speaker 1: of the Old Testament says this about smah. The basic
Speaker 1: idea is that of perceiving a message to hear involving
Speaker 1: effective hearing. Notice that effective hearing. You know there's a
Speaker 1: difference between hearing and effective hearing. And Jesus says, if
Speaker 1: you will effectively hear, I'll be your healer. I'll be
Speaker 1: your yahweh rafha hear and be healed. The Greek word
Speaker 1: translated here that he looked at where they hear and
Speaker 1: be healed. It's it's in the Greek translation Old Testament.
Speaker 1: They use it to translate the word shmah. It's effective
Speaker 1: hearing and they hurt. Now we're gonna see tonight and
Speaker 1: in the weeks to come, we're timing again in the
Speaker 1: New Testament. They came and they heard and were healed.
Speaker 1: We tend to think that, you know, the crowd just
Speaker 1: kind of showed up and Jesus starts saying, heal, heal, heal,
Speaker 1: he'll be He'll be healed, and just kind of people
Speaker 1: just kind of walked up and hey, Jesus, ooh, I'm healed.
Speaker 1: You know, no timing he is says they heard and
Speaker 1: were healed. They took the time to hear and be healed.
Speaker 1: Why was that? Because faith comes by hearing the word
Speaker 1: of God. In Acts chapter fourteen, I believe it is
Speaker 1: Paul was preaching the word and there was a man
Speaker 1: there who had been lame from his mother's birth. He
Speaker 1: had never walked, and now he's a grown man. And
Speaker 1: Paul was preaching the word, and it says and he
Speaker 1: perceiving that he had faith to be healed. Where did
Speaker 1: he get the faith to be healed? Because Paul was
Speaker 1: preaching the word and hearing procedes healing. And Paul said,
Speaker 1: and Nyas, I said to you, take up your bed
Speaker 1: and walk, get up. You're healed. And Anya's did it
Speaker 1: here and be healed. Now. Most folks want to skip
Speaker 1: the hearing. They just want to be healed. Most people,
Speaker 1: you know, they just want to get forget the hearing.
Speaker 1: Just heal me, just heal me. I heard Keith Moore
Speaker 1: who used to work at Rama Healing School in Tulsa,
Speaker 1: and they have healing school every day, and he was
Speaker 1: one of the healing ministers, and he gave an illustration.
Speaker 1: He said, this be prior to after the at afternoon
Speaker 1: session between meetings. Basically, this couple came to him from
Speaker 1: out of town and they said, brother Moore, would you
Speaker 1: pray for us? Pray for my husband more specifically, he's
Speaker 1: been diagnosed with a terminal disease. He's been given only
Speaker 1: months to live. We'd like you to pray with him
Speaker 1: and pray, lay your hands on him, anoint him with
Speaker 1: oil so he could be healed. And so he said
Speaker 1: he began to talk to them and just by talking
Speaker 1: to him and listen what they had said, he said,
Speaker 1: I proceed I knew they had no he had no
Speaker 1: faith to be healed, and if I were to lay
Speaker 1: hands on him and anoint him with oil, all that
Speaker 1: would do was produce more discouragement and disappointment in him.
Speaker 1: You know, we do that something we actually think about
Speaker 1: doing injustice to people, to pray for him before they're ready,
Speaker 1: before they have really any faith to be healed, because well,
Speaker 1: go ahead, yeah, just go ahead, pray for me. And
Speaker 1: then they boy pray for me. They don't get here
Speaker 1: on anything. Well, they get discourage and they think it
Speaker 1: doesn't work. I told the story before. I've had a
Speaker 1: Full Gospel Businessman's Fellowship International dinner one time, and there
Speaker 1: was a guy there in a wheelchair and the Full
Speaker 1: Gospel Businessman. Back then, during the charismatic renewal, they would
Speaker 1: pray for a fence post. And I saw this. I'm
Speaker 1: standing off to the side and its like the Lord
Speaker 1: gave me inside. And I'm just watching this and there's
Speaker 1: this guy in a wheelchair, and this guy comes up
Speaker 1: to him and says, hey, brother, can we pray for you?
Speaker 1: He goes, well, okay, and I say, hey, guys, come
Speaker 1: on over here. In about six guys surround they started
Speaker 1: praying binding and loosing and casting out, casting in and
Speaker 1: let go brother, hold on, brother, and all kinds of
Speaker 1: things going on. I'm standing there watching this, and God says,
Speaker 1: all they're doing is producing more unbelief and discouragement in him.
Speaker 1: He's had this same experience many times before. He's got
Speaker 1: no faith to be healed. He's just hoping something will happen,
Speaker 1: trying to get it on everybody else's coattails. And I
Speaker 1: was like, WHOA. What they needed, somebody needed is take
Speaker 1: that man aside and say, hey, I'm going to teach
Speaker 1: you the Word of God. We're going to get into
Speaker 1: the scriptures and see what the Bible says about healing
Speaker 1: so you can have faith to be healed. But most
Speaker 1: people don't want to do that. So back to my story,
Speaker 1: Brother Moore said to this couple, well, he was talking
Speaker 1: to him and they could tell the guy had no
Speaker 1: faith to be healed. He said, hey, the next session
Speaker 1: of healing school begins in about an hour. Can you
Speaker 1: come to that? And they go, oh, no, we got
Speaker 1: a shopping trip planned. And he said, you nearly need
Speaker 1: to come to this session to hear the word. They go,
Speaker 1: oh no, we've been planning this shopping trip for a
Speaker 1: long time, and we're just going to do that, he said.
Speaker 1: Never heard from him again. The guy probably died because
Speaker 1: people don't understand the importance of hearing. They just want
Speaker 1: to skip that and go to be healed without any faith.
Speaker 1: Most people don't understand the importance of diligently HARKing to
Speaker 1: the word of God so he can be yahweh rafa
Speaker 1: for them. Now, you know, if they did, if people
Speaker 1: fully understood the importance of hearing, there going to be
Speaker 1: an empty seat in here tonight. There's all kinds of
Speaker 1: sick folk out there, but people don't want to take
Speaker 1: the time to hear. Now, I can pretty much guarantee
Speaker 1: you if it started getting noised about the cripples were walking,
Speaker 1: blind eyes were being opened, that her being raised up,
Speaker 1: we couldn't We'd have to bring in more chairs. You
Speaker 1: couldn't get enough people in here. But you say, oh,
Speaker 1: somebody's teaching on healing and building faith for healing. I
Speaker 1: gotta go shopping. Brother Moore talked about another time he
Speaker 1: ministered to a person under the same circumstances. You need
Speaker 1: to come to the session. We got one starting in
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes and they said, Wow, this is there
Speaker 1: work in my garden. I can't come what happened? What
Speaker 1: you go? I mean, I've seen it over the years.
Speaker 1: I've been in full time ministry about forty years, and
Speaker 1: over that time, I've gone into hospitals a lot to
Speaker 1: minister to people. Nine times out of ten, if not
Speaker 1: nine point eight times out of ten. You go in
Speaker 1: to see somebody. Sometimes they're a death's door and what's
Speaker 1: going on? They're watching the boob tube? No faith in that,
Speaker 1: no hearing in that. I've ministered to people before and
Speaker 1: they're I mean serious conditions. I say, here, I'll give
Speaker 1: you some healing messages on CD or give you some
Speaker 1: books on healing, and then I follow up on them
Speaker 1: a week later, ten days later. How you doing? No?
Speaker 1: Not too good, brother, Tim. You know I'm still struggling.
Speaker 1: I don't see anything better. I know you prayed, but
Speaker 1: it's just not any better. Well did you read the
Speaker 1: books I gave you? Well? No, I hadn't gotten around
Speaker 1: to it. Well have you listened to the messages? No?
Speaker 1: And in the background I can hear the stupid television
Speaker 1: going time and time and time again. Sometimes I call somebody.
Speaker 1: It's very sick, and it's like I can't even hear
Speaker 1: what they're saying because it's televisions. Also, I'm going to
Speaker 1: visit people in their house. I'm trying to minis healing. Finally,
Speaker 1: I say, can we turn that off? It's like, ah,
Speaker 1: this addiction to television watching General Hospital is not going
Speaker 1: to get you healed, and as the stomach turns, it's
Speaker 1: not going to do it. Hear and be healed. If
Speaker 1: thou wilt diligently hearken, look to it again Etuy fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty six. If you diligently hearken, Well, let's keep that
Speaker 1: definition up. Know what there it is if you diligently hearken. Now,
Speaker 1: let's hurry o back to that definition. If you diligently hearken.
Speaker 1: Schmash Shama, the theological word Book of the Old Testament,
Speaker 1: says the basic guy of the hear is that of
Speaker 1: perceiving a message to hear, involving effective hearing. Listen, to
Speaker 1: pay attention, to understand, hear critically obey. Obey, That says
Speaker 1: is to give attention, be attentive. Do people give attention
Speaker 1: to the word of God? Are they attentive to the
Speaker 1: word of God. Do they read it, do they study it?
Speaker 1: Do they memorize healing scripture? Why does God tell us
Speaker 1: to diligently hearken to the word because most folks aren't
Speaker 1: doing it. That's why he has to tell us that.
Speaker 1: Why does he say, in proverb, for my son, my daughter,
Speaker 1: attend to my word and climb your ear to my saying,
Speaker 1: because most folk aren't doing it. Why does he say
Speaker 1: keep it in the midst of your heart because most
Speaker 1: people don't do it. But when we do it, he said,
Speaker 1: my words will be health and healing and medicine to
Speaker 1: all your faith. He said, when we do it, I'll
Speaker 1: reveal myself as yahweh Rafael to you, your physician, your healer,
Speaker 1: your doctor. Well, can't we just skip everything prior to that,
Speaker 1: all of verse twenty six and just get right down
Speaker 1: to yahweh Rafha. Just do it, Lords, I can go
Speaker 1: back to watching television. Heal me of this incurable disease
Speaker 1: so I don't have to go to the hospital, pay
Speaker 1: all those medical bills, and I can go back to
Speaker 1: watching television. Just do it, Lord, Just I mean people
Speaker 1: come to me of frequently. Pie, do you just would
Speaker 1: you pray for me? Would you annoint me? Well, if
Speaker 1: you do, you know what scriptures are standing on. Huh,
Speaker 1: No faith to be healed. Heybody just want some miracle.
Speaker 1: They just want it automatically, without taking the time to
Speaker 1: build faith. W Vine says the word schma means says
Speaker 1: it can be both intellectual hearing and spiritual hearing. Remember,
Speaker 1: Jesus said he that has ears to hear, let him hear. Everybody.
Speaker 1: He said that to had physical ears. But he said,
Speaker 1: if you have ears here, here, here, spiritually here intelligently.
Speaker 1: So he says, diligently, hearken to the voice of the
Speaker 1: Lord your God, and do that which is right in
Speaker 1: his sight. And give ear to his commandments. Back to
Speaker 1: the Exodus fifteen twenty six. Give ear to his commandments,
Speaker 1: give ear to his commandments. Give your ear to his commandments.
Speaker 1: And I'll be the Lord your healer. Give ear to him.
Speaker 1: But what do most people give ear to? Secular news,
Speaker 1: secular music, secular television, secular music. That's what they give
Speaker 1: ear to. They don't give ear to the Word of God.
Speaker 1: And faith comes by hearing the word of God. Not
Speaker 1: faith comes by hearing secular music, secular television, secular magazines,
Speaker 1: secular news. Faith doesn't come from that. Fear comes from
Speaker 1: that comes from the secular. Faith comes from the Word
Speaker 1: of God. People hear all that stuff and saturate themselves
Speaker 1: and they get in fear, like, oh, they said it's coming.
Speaker 1: They said, it's all over. What am I going to do?
Speaker 1: But you get into the Word of God and faith
Speaker 1: comes in. It's like, the Lord is my shepherd. I
Speaker 1: do not want no weapon formed against me. Shall prosper.
Speaker 1: He's my rock, my refuge, my shield. What are you
Speaker 1: giving ear to? Now? Think about it, all of us people,
Speaker 1: all the time, God's people commonly ask God to give
Speaker 1: ear to their prayers and petitions and supplications. But you know,
Speaker 1: God also asks us to give ear to what he's saying.
Speaker 1: Oh God, listen to what I say. Oh God, I'm praying,
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what I'm saying. But God
Speaker 1: also says, I want you to hear what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Give ear to his commandments and notice and keep all
Speaker 1: his statutes. Now, this is a related word to diligently
Speaker 1: hearken shama. It's the Hebrew word shamar, and it means
Speaker 1: to hedge about, to guard, protect, a tend to watch over,
Speaker 1: to watch over carefully. He says, take all his commandments,
Speaker 1: his statutes, and guard them, protect them, watch over them carefully.
Speaker 1: It's the same Hebrew word that God told Adam and Eve.
Speaker 1: He said, guard the garden, protect the garden, and they
Speaker 1: didn't do it, and the devil got in, and God
Speaker 1: saying guard your life, protect your life, so the devil
Speaker 1: doesn't get in. Keep all his commandments. It means to
Speaker 1: watch carefully over, to pay close attention to the theological word.
Speaker 1: Book of the Old Testament says it means to exercise
Speaker 1: great care over, to be careful to do or perform.
Speaker 1: Do all my commandments, perform all my commandments, it says.
Speaker 1: It expresses the careful attention to be paid to the
Speaker 1: obligations of a covenant. We are in covenant with Yahweh,
Speaker 1: God with Yahweh. Rafa wants to establish a healing covenant
Speaker 1: with you, and he says, if you do this, I'll
Speaker 1: do this. He said, if you diligently hearken, give your
Speaker 1: keep and obey what I'm saying, I'll do this. I'll
Speaker 1: be your doctor, your physician, your healer. I'll take sickness
Speaker 1: away from the midst of you. Exodus twenty three, twenty five.
Speaker 1: You know God said that, He said, I will take
Speaker 1: sickness away from the midst of you. That's a promise.
Speaker 1: It's a condition of the covenant. And people think, well,
Speaker 1: I don't understand God must not a minute because I
Speaker 1: don't see it, and I don't se anybody else see it.
Speaker 1: And it's not working because we're not fulfilling the conditions
Speaker 1: of the covenant. Hear and be healed. They came to
Speaker 1: him to hear and be healed. He perceived he had
Speaker 1: faith to be healed. He heard, and he perceived he
Speaker 1: had faith to be faith comes by hearing the word
Speaker 1: of God. My counsel to somebody had a terminal disease
Speaker 1: would be shut yourself up in the bedroom and do
Speaker 1: nothing but listen to the word of God on healing
Speaker 1: and read healing literature and do nothing but healing until
Speaker 1: you either die in there or come out healed. And
Speaker 1: there's a high probability you'll come out here. But what
Speaker 1: most folks do, Doctor gave me two months to live,
Speaker 1: and they watched television the whole time, waiting to die.
Speaker 1: Waiting to die. It means frequently, it's frequently used to
Speaker 1: speak of personal discipline. This is the theological word book
Speaker 1: of the Old Testament for Shamar. It's used to speak
Speaker 1: of personal discipline and the need to take heed in
Speaker 1: respect to one's life and actions. We don't want to
Speaker 1: do that, take heed to my life and actions? Can
Speaker 1: I just live spiritually sloppy and still walk in divine health? Okay,
Speaker 1: let me wrap it up here. We'll summarize this passage.
Speaker 1: We didn't get it all in. I wanted to show
Speaker 1: some of the more New Testament scriptures on here and
Speaker 1: be healed. We'll take it up from here next week.
Speaker 1: One great promise or one great covenant, four great conditions
Speaker 1: in this verse Hebrews Exodus fifteen twenty six, the healing
Speaker 1: covenant yahweh rafa establishes the number one. Diligently hearken to
Speaker 1: God's voice. Diligently hearken to God's voice. So, in other words,
Speaker 1: hear it, attend to it, obey it. Do what God
Speaker 1: tells you to do. Now, really, these aren't this complicated.
Speaker 1: There are four basic things, and if we'll do them,
Speaker 1: God says, and I'll be yahweh rafa to you. You
Speaker 1: do these four things, and I will be the Lord
Speaker 1: your healer. Diligently hearken to God's voice. Hear it, attend
Speaker 1: to it, obey it. Do what God tells you to do.
Speaker 1: Number two, do what is right. Do what is right.
Speaker 1: He said, if you diligence hearkened the voice of the
Speaker 1: Lord your God, and do that which is right in
Speaker 1: his sight. Do what is right in his sight. In
Speaker 1: other words, live holy and righteous, Be godly in your
Speaker 1: life and conduct. Live holy and righteous, Do what is
Speaker 1: right in his sight. Be godly in your life and conduct.
Speaker 1: Third thing he tells us to do, give ear to
Speaker 1: his commandments. Give ear to his commandments, or feed on
Speaker 1: the word of God. Feed on the word of God.
Speaker 1: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
Speaker 1: word that comes out of the mouth of God. Who
Speaker 1: said that, Come on, who said that man shall not
Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
Speaker 1: out of the mouth of God. Jesus said that I
Speaker 1: can feed on the word of God. And then the
Speaker 1: fourth thing he says, keep all his statutes, keep all
Speaker 1: his statue, do the word, perform the word, discipline yourself,
Speaker 1: guard yourself, acknowledge Him as God and Lord Word, and
Speaker 1: live free from my doolatry. Well what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Why do you say put idolatry in here, Because anything
Speaker 1: we have in our life that supersedes God is number
Speaker 1: one in our life is an idol. Anything we're putting
Speaker 1: ahead of God, a hobby, a sport, recreation, money, a job,
Speaker 1: a person, it's an idol. God has to be number one.
Speaker 1: So he says, keep all his statutes, acknowledge Him as
Speaker 1: God and Lord, and live free from my dolatary. And
Speaker 1: then the great commandment, love love God, and love others.
Speaker 1: Love God, love people, Love God with all your heart, soul,
Speaker 1: mind and strength, and love others as you love yourself.
Speaker 1: And he says, I will be to you. Yahweh rafa,
Speaker 1: yahweh rafa, hallelujah. Hear and be healed. When people don't hear,
Speaker 1: oftentimes they're not healed. But when they do hear, they
Speaker 1: are healed. Faith comes by hearing the word of God.
Speaker 1: Let's stand up and we're going to sing a song
Speaker 1: and then thank you for listening. We hope that you
