WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:03.600 I want to invite you guys on a journey. I 2 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.919 want to invite you on a journey of discovering First 3 00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:09.480 Corinthians four twenty. God is not a matter of talk. 4 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:11.880 The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, 5 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:18.719 but power. Briefly, my introduction to Christianity, my background was, 6 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.600 you know, I did some business stuff, but I was 7 00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:23.839 brought up in New Jersey, and I was brought up 8 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.480 in a family of mostly boxers. Anybody here Puerto Rican 9 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.879 Nostro Puerto Ricana. We boxed and play baseball, right, Puerto 10 00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:32.920 Rican's box and play baseball. That's how it grew up. 11 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.520 And so anyway, I won't give you all the stories, 12 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.159 but you start boxing when you're like five years old 13 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:39.920 with your cousins. You know, you're punching each other and 14 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.159 the uncles are drinking beer. Get them. You know, it's weird, 15 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.799 but hey, and so I kind of grew up in 16 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:49.119 that type of environment and ended up doing very well 17 00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.280 in martial arts. And I fought in the war. I'm 18 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.840 not that old, but I fought into Korea in martial 19 00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:58.479 arts and so on and so forth. And so when 20 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.320 I surrendered my life to Jesus, it was during an 21 00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.719 event where there was an evangelist there. Actually, that's not true. 22 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.120 I got saved before the event, like a couple weeks 23 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.560 before the event, and this evangelist was ministering, and he 24 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.319 calls me out, he says, young man, and he prays 25 00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:18.040 he doesn't touch me, and something invisible picks me up 26 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.120 and throws me on the ground. Now, when I say 27 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.159 something invisible, I don't mean a demonic spirit. I mean 28 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.120 the Holy Spirit. The power of God picked me up. 29 00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.040 I felt I didn't get hurt. But I'm telling you 30 00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.120 that for somebody who comes from a fighting background, not 31 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.599 intimidated about a man or anything, or I don't care 32 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.359 how big you are, the heart of the bigger they' 33 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:37.920 all the hard they fall, that whole thing. God revealed 34 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.760 himself to me as the God of power. And then 35 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.719 that moment I recognize that this Jesus is love, but 36 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:50.439 he is power. And my introduction to Christianity was one 37 00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.920 in which I saw a demonstration of the Holy Spirit's power. 38 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.239 And traveling in the nations of the Earth, I've witnessed 39 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.359 signs and wonders and mirrors, and lately I'm growing the 40 00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.040 way it works with me and some of you can 41 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.359 identify with this. I don't know why God's like this 42 00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.080 with me, as I started getting frustrated and I don't 43 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.960 know why, and then it causes me to have to 44 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.439 pray and I begin to say, God, why am I? 45 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.719 I'm not angry at the people, but why am I frustrated? 46 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.080 And I realized that the frustration is that we have 47 00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:24.960 a message that we preach, but there's not a gospel 48 00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.599 that's being demonstrated. Now I'm not talking about in this church. 49 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.960 I'm talking about in North America. Predominantly all over the world, 50 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.960 Charismatic Pentecostal Christianity is the fastest spreading movement all over 51 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.080 the earth. But in many of our environments, Christians have 52 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.280 never seen somebody healed, somebody delivered. And so we've swung 53 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.080 the pendulum to basically kind of a self help behavior 54 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.960 modification gospel. I believe in inner healing, I believe in deliverance. 55 00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:58.159 I believe in therapy counseling. That's not what I'm saying. 56 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.120 But some of you, you don't need therapy or counseling. 57 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.879 You need to devil cast it out of you. Now 58 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.000 I'm looking at your neighbor and I'm just kidding. It's 59 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.840 an encounter with the power of the Holy Spirit. How 60 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.879 many of you know God has not stopped moving in power. 61 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:16.759 Just because you haven't seen it happen doesn't mean it 62 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.479 stopped happening. Amen. And so I want to share with you, guys, 63 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.360 four dimensions of healing. And you might ask, Okay, what 64 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.439 does that have to do with me. I'm a homeschool mom, 65 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.400 I work for Boeing, I'm an accountant. Has everything to 66 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.719 do with you because I want to equip you not 67 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:33.599 only to receive healing this morning, but also to learn 68 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:38.840 how to administrate healing. Healing is the children's bread. Healing 69 00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:42.080 is a part of the Atonement. My ministry predominantly is 70 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.560 known for the prophetic ministry, and I love it because 71 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.599 first am I talking to fast First Corinthians. You can 72 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.960 buy the tape now. First Corinthians fourteen one says, pursue 73 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.319 love and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially say especially 74 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.400 that you might prophesy. Why do I love the prophetics 75 00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.479 so much Because it's connected to hearing the voice of God. 76 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:05.240 And I love hearing the voice of God. And I've 77 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.319 spent my twenty five years as a believer, reading and 78 00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.240 studying and meditating on hearing the voice of God. And 79 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.120 what I begin to realize is I hear the voice 80 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:19.600 of God is God desires to see his people saved, healed, 81 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.120 and delivered. He is transcendent. He is the King of 82 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.399 kings and the Lord of lords. But he also says, 83 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:28.120 no longer do I call you a servant. I call 84 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.040 you my friend. Friend is intimate and it's personal, and 85 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.399 it's in your space. Now. I want to contrast that 86 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:39.439 with another scripture. The thief comes to do what steal? 87 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:46.279 What your money? Kill? What your body? Destroy? What relationships? 88 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.920 Twenty five years of ministry, whenever somebody wants to have 89 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.040 an appointment with me, it's one of those three things. 90 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.079 They want to talk about finances, they want to talk 91 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.399 about health, or they want to talk about relationships. Amen. 92 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.439 So God has sos for these problems. So I want 93 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.920 to start off and share with you guys. The first 94 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.680 key of walking in healing, spirit, soul, and body is 95 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.360 the Word of God. So then faith comes by hearing 96 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.319 and hearing by the word. I want to encourage all 97 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.319 of you. Maybe some of you are here. You've been 98 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:24.000 saved since you were born, you know, and that's not 99 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.279 really a thing anyway. But you've got to be born again. 100 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.160 But you've known Jesus for fifty years and you've been 101 00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.279 walking in this beautiful Some of you, this is maybe 102 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.319 your first week in church. I want to encourage you. 103 00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.879 There's resources out in the lobby. None of them are mine. 104 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.720 I'm not doing an ad. But begin to take the scriptures, 105 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.040 begin to join the restored life, Begin to allow yourself 106 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.560 to be discipled in the scriptures. When I was a 107 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.160 young Christian, I was saved a couple of weeks. I 108 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.399 went from the nightclub to church. May know, there's a 109 00:05:55.399 --> 00:06:00.199 little bit of a difference there, right, But I from 110 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.879 New Jersey, so at least worship was awesome. We had 111 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.040 ron Canoli, you know. I grew up to the high 112 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.360 places to tear the Devil's kingdom now. And then I 113 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.040 got saved and I moved to the Northwest, and all 114 00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.480 the songs were like I miss a little of the 115 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:21.040 soul we haven't had, like salso's going juilois. Some of 116 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.240 you got you white people need to move a little bit. Okay, listen, 117 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.000 I didn't mean to make this racist, but ah, it's not. 118 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:33.600 It's not. We're all family. So coming up, coming up 119 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.759 in the environment that I came up in the East Coast, 120 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.040 there's a ministry by the name of Kenneth Hagen Senior, 121 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.199 who really influenced the church I was a part of. 122 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.160 And I didn't know that. I didn't know who he 123 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.600 was at all. I mean, I seriously went from the 124 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.040 nightclub fighting full contact to church and I get invited 125 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.079 to this conference with the spiritual Grandmother and this guy 126 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:54.040 by the name of Kenneth Hagen. Anybody here of Kenneth 127 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.120 Avid raybow, put your hands up. That's a lot of you. 128 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.600 He was ministering. And I don't know how old he was. 129 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.600 He's been old for a long long time. He's in 130 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.920 heaven now, but this is twenty five years ago, so 131 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.560 I don't know how old he was twenty five years ago, 132 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.360 but he was old. So he gets up there and 133 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.560 the worship is kind of fun in old school. He 134 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.600 gets up there and he starts. Nineteen forty seven when 135 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.879 Jesus appeared to me and it was personal relationship with 136 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.120 a living God. And then I watched him just start 137 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.079 moving in the power of the Holy Spirit, and bodies 138 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.000 were falling all over the place. People were laughing. There 139 00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.879 was miracles breaking out, So I didn't realize how blessed 140 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:32.839 I've been where my Christianity has been one of not 141 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.399 just mere talk, but power. And I understand that a 142 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.279 lot of you may not have had that experience. But 143 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.079 that's why you're a part of this community, because it's 144 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.839 not just your not a salesman for Jesus, and someday 145 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.959 in the bye and bye you might experience a touch 146 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.519 from God. No, he wants to make himself so known 147 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.480 to his people. And that's why I believe that miracles 148 00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.560 are so important. If I begin to prophesy over people, 149 00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.480 to the people that are receiving the word and to 150 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.519 their friends and family, it's like, wow, that's so accurate. 151 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.319 But a lot of people are just thinking, man, that's 152 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.759 general because you don't know what's being said the secrets 153 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.000 of their heart. But when somebody who's death begins to hear, 154 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.519 you can still doubt. But the miracles cause you to 155 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.759 really have to face your unbelief. Miracles are confrontational, they're 156 00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.839 in your face. So I grew up in the Kingdom 157 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.920 seeing the miraculous, so I'm very passionate about this. So 158 00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.399 first thing that I want to encourage you. Point one, 159 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.600 get in the word. How do you know the will 160 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.840 of God for your life? If you're not in the 161 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.159 Word of God. Now I'm not shaming you. I want 162 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.639 to encourage you. One of the things that you're presently 163 00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.519 contending for. Is it healing in your body? Is it 164 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.720 your finances? Is it relationships? Find scriptures that talk about 165 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.080 that very thing, Me and my house shall be saved. 166 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.519 And I want you to write it down on a 167 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.879 little card, and I want you to put it in 168 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.559 your mirror and every morning take your gospeills. Now I'm 169 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.000 giving I'm showing you a little bit of who I 170 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.200 was mentored by. Bless God. I'm the head and not 171 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.879 the tail. I'm above and not beneath. I'm the vendor, 172 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.879 not the borrow. And I used to mock that stuff 173 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.159 until I realize that there is something that now science 174 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.000 is all beginning to discover about positive and negative confessions. 175 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:22.559 You do understand that if you declare the word, the 176 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:25.279 more you speak the word, the more you believe the word, 177 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:29.159 the word begins to transform you. I use an example 178 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.519 in the first service, the Older Service. I'm just kidding. Listen, 179 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:38.000 you know the listen not every thought has to be 180 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:44.120 said out loud. You know, the word read tired. As 181 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.879 you declare that over yourself, you're saying, I'm tired. You 182 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.000 got to understand look it up. You think I'm just 183 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.840 making stuff up up here. No, there's something about the 184 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:57.159 words you speak over yourself. There's actually sickness that can 185 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:00.840 come from the words you speak over yourself. So we 186 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.159 need to begin to use the word of God like 187 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.639 a sword. In the Temptation of Jesus, Satan comes to 188 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:12.000 Jesus and he doesn't say I feel sad. Everybody's picking 189 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.519 on me, nobody likes me. Right, That's not what he does. 190 00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.320 He comes tom with the word. It is written, are 191 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.679 you there? And how does Jesus respond? It is also written, 192 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.879 man shall not live by bread alone, but every word 193 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.200 that proceeds out of the mouth of God. And if 194 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.519 you're in a spiritual warfare against the enemy and he's 195 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.799 attacking you with lies, how many of you know he 196 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:38.440 will take the scripture and this finger Let mean, sorry, 197 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.639 whoever I pointed at, that's what the prophetic comes out. 198 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.879 And I said that, how many of you know if 199 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:49.559 you don't have the scripture in you, you'll think whoa. 200 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.480 That's a Bible verse that says like I'm going to 201 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.039 die in fifteen years. And this is all throughout history. 202 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.679 You'll hear. Keny Hagen had an encounter where he was 203 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.279 sick and God began to speak to him, said you're healed, 204 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.720 get up and walk, and began to get healed, and 205 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.120 he told his mom. Then the next night night he 206 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.440 heard an audible voice tell him using scriptures that he 207 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:13.320 was going to die, and he thought, what in the world, 208 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:16.320 And then the Holy Spirit begin to say, that's not 209 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.519 my voice, gave him scriptures and he rebrouked those scriptures. 210 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:23.279 Are you there? The enemy would like to misuse scripture 211 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.879 to attack you. So that's why it's critical that you 212 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.200 are men and women of the Word. And I will 213 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.480 say this respectfully. There's no more excuse. There was never 214 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.960 an excuse, but there's no excuse for not stutting the scriptures. 215 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.039 Now you can just get your app on the phone 216 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.360 and play it in your car, and I just let 217 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.240 the word wash over me and I want to encourage you. 218 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:47.080 So first thing that I want to do here with 219 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.480 you is let me read your verse Mark eleven twenty three. Truly, 220 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.759 I say to you whosoever says to this mountain be 221 00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.039 taken up and cast into the sea, and does not 222 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.399 doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says 223 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.240 is going to happen, it will be granted to him. 224 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.639 Can I give you a very personal experience? Can I 225 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.039 can I get closer to you a little bit? How 226 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.440 many of you know that when you read this verse, 227 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.159 whatever I pray and I believe in my heart, and 228 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.799 I believe in my heart, it's gonna happen. How many 229 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.639 of you, when you're young in the Lord, you pray 230 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:17.600 for something you believe in your heart it's gonna happen, 231 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.759 and it doesn't. And the more that begins to happen, 232 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.320 and if you're not careful, you can actually start to 233 00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.480 feel disillusioned. Well, first thing that I want you to 234 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:29.480 understand is that my faith doesn't rest in my faith. 235 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.000 I don't have perfect faith. There are seasons where I waver, 236 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.840 And even in the midst and the wist to you 237 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:40.960 ethqu we web it. Even in the midst of wavering, 238 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.919 I'm still going to the Lord. And I want to 239 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.639 encourage those of you that maybe have had disappointment in 240 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.639 your life to not go to the news or social 241 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.200 media or or or blame God for things. But I 242 00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.840 need to stand on the foundation that God is good, 243 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.080 and if he hasn't healed me today, you'll heal me tomorrow. 244 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.440 And guess what's the worst that can happen to me? 245 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.840 I'm going to die and go to heaven for all 246 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.279 of eternity. A lot of the church has alleys that 247 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.840 we shouldn't have. So somebody didn't like that, don't make 248 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.360 me jump into the whole inner behavior modification, psychology, self 249 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:23.440 health movement that actually, some of what you guys are 250 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.840 experiencing doesn't require therapy or counseling, even though I believe 251 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.200 in that it requires discipline. I have bad days, I 252 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.039 don't have a bad life because I'm a new creation 253 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.159 in Christ Jesus. And guess what the Bible says, you 254 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.799 will have tribulation and you will have trials. But I 255 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.279 have overcome the world. And this gospel that says you'll 256 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.879 never go through hardships is there's a lie. The scripture says, yay, 257 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.600 though I walk through the value to shadow of death, 258 00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:50.879 I'll be with you. My rod and my staff, they'll 259 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.320 comfort you. So I believe that we need to once 260 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.320 again get back to the basics and love the word. 261 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.440 I want to decrease some things over you. Would you 262 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.639 stand with me. You're going to repeat after me. Promise 263 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.840 it's all going to be good. Repeat this with me. 264 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:08.679 Life is in my tongue. I speak life, not death. 265 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.080 The word of faith is in my mouth and in 266 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:19.840 my heart. I believe. Therefore I speak. God sends his 267 00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:24.679 word and heals. Now we're going to make it more personal. 268 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:29.360 By the wounds of Jesus, I am healed. The Lord 269 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:35.200 is my healer. The Lord forgives all my sins and 270 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:40.240 all my disease. I believe in the Lord Jesus, and 271 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:45.240 salvation belongs to my house. My God supplies all my 272 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.639 needs according to his riches and glory. How many of 273 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.919 you believe that? Okay, you may be seated, God's not 274 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:58.039 man that he should lie, and the Word of God 275 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.360 is truth. And I want to just be agin to 276 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:04.000 encourage you once again just as a gentle reminder, to 277 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:08.000 begin to meditate on the scriptures. Iman. It'll transform your mind. 278 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.759 And I can talk so much about that. You're not 279 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.480 transformed by chasing somebody's annoyingty. You're transformed by the renewing 280 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:21.840 of your mind. You're not transformed by your emotion. It 281 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:26.399 is truth that sets you free. Those two verses could 282 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.080 be a whole book, and somebody here should write it anyway. 283 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.480 Moving on the second facet of healing, I want to 284 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.600 talk to you about and I'm not just talking about 285 00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:36.919 in the context of the church. I'm talking about some 286 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.399 of you. Anybody here have a job where you touch people, chiropractor, 287 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.200 A lot of you, a lot of you. I want 288 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.840 to encourage you. There's a biblical principle in Mark chapter 289 00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.759 sixteen that says you shall lay hands on the sick 290 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:53.039 and you will see them recover. And I love that. 291 00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.720 It doesn't say you need to hear a voice from heaven, 292 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:58.559 say lay hands on the sick. If you don't know 293 00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:01.320 the word of God, you don't understand the will of God. 294 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.360 The word of God is by his stripes. You're healed. 295 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.360 Does that mean you'll see everybody healed? I hope you will. 296 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.320 I want to give you a verse that really helped me. 297 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.759 It's in Hebrews two. I think it's somewhere through eight 298 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:16.759 through ten, and it says all things have been made 299 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:20.480 subject to Him, speaking of Jesus. Then the next line says, 300 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:24.679 yet we do not see all things made subject to him. 301 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.799 So he's King of kings and Lord of Lord, seated 302 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:31.159 on the throne forever now. But we still see this 303 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.799 chasm where not everybody gets healed, not everybody gets saved. 304 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.720 Why I want to encourage you that in that space 305 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:41.039 the church, the ecclacea, is called the rise up and 306 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.320 proclaim and demonstrate the Kingdom of God. So that's a 307 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.039 personal responsibility. I'm not saying you see your job to 308 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.240 heal and your job to save, But it is our 309 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.440 job to extend forth our hand. And so let's talk 310 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.480 a little bit about the laying on of hands. This 311 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.360 is a principle that's understood and so much of a 312 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:03.039 New Age movement and spirituality and so on and so forth. 313 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.640 And in the church, I think sometimes we forget the 314 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.640 power of the laying on of hands, the laying on 315 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.079 of hands. Kalosha's one twenty six twenty eight says, I 316 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.880 speak of a mystery Christ in you, the hope of 317 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:19.160 GLORYTIONI is the same thing Romans one eleven. MIHI is 318 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.400 the same thing Romans one eleven. Paul says, I love 319 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:35.680 spiritual gift that long to see long to see the 320 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:40.440 healing is coming in. A demonic spirit more powerful than 321 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:43.599 the other is kicking that one out and it's moving 322 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:48.319 somewhere else in the individual's body. See. My church is 323 00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.279 in southern Oregon, next to Ashland. There's tons of reiki masters, 324 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.279 and so we've had to do deliverance from people that 325 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.319 have received healing from reiki, because they get healing from 326 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:03.440 reiki and then they get tormented nightmares. You understand, when 327 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:05.400 I lay hands and eye in part, You're not going 328 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.319 to get a nightmare. You're gonna get the Holy Ghost 329 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.039 because that's what I'm filled with. I'm filled with the 330 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.279 Holy Spirit and power and love. So what we lay 331 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.160 hands on one another's believers, we are transferring the anointing 332 00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:20.480 of the Holy Spirit. Amen. So here's what I wanted 333 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.160 to encourage you to do very quickly, because we're going 334 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:26.519 to activate this in a moment, is ask permission. And 335 00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.640 if I pray for you, especially if you're a woman, 336 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.119 I will always say, can I put my hand on 337 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.839 your shoulder? I always ask permission. Don't assume. I also 338 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:35.799 don't put my hand on a woman's head. I don't 339 00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:37.559 care about you guys. I'll mess your hair up. But 340 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.240 I'm just kidding. Some of you are like you better 341 00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:45.880 no Blue Troy, it stop it because old school Pentecost 342 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:48.200 is like sha and you get hit in the head. 343 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.400 You're like, that wasn't the Lord I felt? Because you 344 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.680 pushed me broke my neck? You know. I mean I 345 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.079 experienced some of that too, right, A lot of us have. 346 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:57.920 I'm very gentle with the laying on of hands. I 347 00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.359 lay hands, and when I lay hands on some I 348 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:04.039 don't go into intercession. And a lot of Christians they 349 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.119 feel like they need to plead with God to do 350 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.519 something that he already said he wants to do. And 351 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.480 if when I pray for healing. And this is not 352 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:15.839 just like ivan the you know my thesis. This is 353 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:20.119 the Bible. Jesus said, lay hands in the sick, pray 354 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.759 the prayer of faith, and the will save the sick. 355 00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.599 So the prayer of faith isn't a begging and a pleading. 356 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.519 We stand on the opposite side of the cross where 357 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.880 he says, is this finish? So I appropriate what Jesus 358 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.839 already did on the cross. So I take a forwardy 359 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.440 and I bind every sickness and every disease in Jesus's name, 360 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:43.920 and I release healing in the name of Jesus. You say, well, 361 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.480 that sounds a bit arrogant. No, I know it's in 362 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.759 the name of Jesus. I know it's not in the 363 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.559 name of Ivan. It's in Jesus's name. We stand as 364 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.640 ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. Are you there? So 365 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.799 those of you that are massage therapists, those of you 366 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.640 that you know, whatever it is that you do, you 367 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:05.240 lay hands on somebody, you shake someone's hand, there's opportunities 368 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.759 to say, I just release healing over you in the 369 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:12.480 name of Jesus. Amen, I thought came in it left 370 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.599 about the laying out of hands. But when we lay hands, 371 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.720 there's times it doesn't have to happen. But there's times 372 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:21.920 that you'll fill your hands getting very hot. That's a 373 00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.079 good thing. Amen. Sometimes just allow the ministry of the 374 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.359 laying out of hands to take place. If I pray 375 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.400 for you and I lay my hands on your shoulder, 376 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.480 you have shoulder pain, and I say, in the name 377 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.680 of Jesus, be healed. I command healing to come in 378 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.880 your shoulder. Sometimes I'll start to get understanding of what's 379 00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.839 wrong with your shoulder and I start to speak to 380 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.880 the ligaments and the tendance to be aligned. Now, when 381 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.240 that person, if they go like this and they're not healed, 382 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.440 I don't all of a sudden make it about me. 383 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.240 You know you know what I mean by that? Oh God, please, okay, listen. 384 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:58.400 You can't heal them. You didn't make them sick. So 385 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.799 I just commanded again. And then also what I don't 386 00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:05.240 do is get awkward and make it a coffee appointment. 387 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:10.880 Me and Amijo. You know something, that bastard, he's kind 388 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.960 of funny, funny looking. 389 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:12.880 Ah. 390 00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:16.240 And what happens is we go from a mode that's 391 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.119 spiritual warfare where you're laying hands on people to a 392 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:22.799 coffee appointment. It's because people are awkward. You don't have 393 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:25.200 to get awkward. If you pray for somebody and nothing happens, 394 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:27.480 you didn't make them sick and you can't heal them, 395 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.759 and you don't have to go into this intercessory prayer thing. 396 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:33.559 Just be healed. In Jesus' name. How many of you 397 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:37.400 want to give it a try? Oh no, pastor the 398 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:39.440 name people that didn't raise their hands, give me your 399 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:42.480 numb Just kidd all of you in Jesus' name. Now, 400 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.720 here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. Who 401 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.400
