Could the wind be sure to heal Then the household would in God's love
The end of waiting amidst fire burns My heart is captured to work
I haven't been the burning fire Oh a shell of great things
I haven't been the burning fire
So then faith cometh by hearing And hearing cometh by the word of Christ
Faith cometh by hearing And hearing cometh by the word of Christ
Now on Wednesday I think we try to look at this thing
And we've defined what faith is What is faith?
I remember I said something like faith is the persuasions of God
Now that is very important Hallelujah
The Bible says faith comes by hearing And that hearing comes by the word
Now actually in some newer versions you say faith comes by hearing
And faith comes by hearing the message of Christ
Which is very understandable King James says faith comes by hearing
And hearing comes by the word of God Which really I used to read that
I didn't understand what he means Faith comes by hearing
Hearing comes by the word You know but then faith comes by hearing
the message or the gospel of Christ Now what it means is that in the gospel of
Christ is the package of the convictions of God
So if you want to know what God has to say or what God's convictions are
Then you have to know the word of Christ Come on hallelujah
If you don't know the word of Christ Then you will not be rightly able to
appropriate your faith Now I remember I told us that faith is not
man generated Now a man cannot say I want to get faith
Alright Why?
Because faith is God's conviction I want you to understand that
So alright so this bottle is falling down What is you see what is faith?
Faith is what God thinks about the falling down bottle
Hallelujah That is God's faith
So for example if there is a sick man and you stand before the sick person
When we say have faith this is what it means Know what God is saying about the situation
And just apply what God is saying about the situation
Alright so having faith is not like It's not a mystery
It's not something that is strange What God thinks about a matter is what your
faith is Now let me put it well what God thinks about
it What you know from the word that God thinks
about a matter Or is the solution or is the answer to a matter
And your ability to take step towards that is faith
Hallelujah Come on praise God
So if I see someone who is sick What does God say about that particular matter?
Are we together?
So it is what God thinks about that matter That gives me the assurance because what God
thinks about something Or the perception or the persuasion of God
About a thing is faith Hallelujah
So it means that for any situation we must know what God is thinking about the situation
Alright that means if you do contrary to what God thinks then you think that you did but
faith did not work Alright
Okay let's go to I have a lot of things for us to go to but let's go to Galatians first
Galatians Galatians chapter number 2 verse 20
Are we all there?
Come on Alright so if you are there eat for us
Hallelujah So Paul says that the life which I now live
in the flesh Come on
I live by the faith of the son of God Read it again
Now all of you, all of you let's get in there Let's read it again
One two go
The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith in the son of God
I live by the faith of the son of God Now what is the faith of the son of God?
The persuasions of the son of God Alright so Paul says I live today by the persuasions
of the son of God So faith is not a difficult thing
Hallelujah For example somebody is sick and you are
trying to minister to the person or you are trying to get the person to be healed
Your duty is to minister the word is to minister the gospel
Let the person know that in the gospel you are healed
How many of us know that God is not healing anybody today?
God is not healing anybody today God is not blessing anybody today
God is not forgiving anybody today Oh so what happens to those who are sick
now I'm not preaching what the Jehovah's Witness and the church of Christ people are saying
that healing has passed healing has not passed but inside the gospel God has done it already
So if the one that is sick gets to know and get to understand or when it's been ministered
to the person and the person now says alright oh so in the mind of God I am not sick
In God's mind I am not sick See that this is big eh
In the mind of God nobody is sick Nobody is sick
Why?
Because he has healed everybody I think 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24 let's read
that quickly Today's 7th will be awesome
It will be awesome hallelujah 1 Peter 2 24
If it's not there check 2 Peter 2 24
Uh huh read it So take that again who his own self uh huh
He did what?
He is going to do it He's done it
So he's born as saints uh huh What tree is he talking about?
The cross So when Jesus was on the cross all our saints
See the gospel we've not we've not we've not we've not started preaching the gospel
See how God thinks When Jesus was on the cross all our saints
were born by him In the mind of God nobody is saints today
Except what we are reading it's not true because he says he's born he's born all our saints
What happened?
By whose stripes ye were healed Now Peter sit down thank you
Peter is talking to Jews And he's telling them that by the stripes
of Jesus ye were healed not you will be healed
See a lot of people don't even know the difference between faith believe and hope
Faith is it's done See faith is it's done
A lot of time people think that um for for example I know it shall be well with me that's
not faith I know I will prosper that's not faith
See what I was saying in in Hebrews chapter 11 it says now faith is now faith is now faith
is faith is faith is this is not faith will be faith is faith is let's go there quickly
I'm loving this thing right now uh-huh read that
now faith no I just want the first part now faith is thank you
faith is doesn't mean faith is now when you say I believe I will be healed
now is that faith that's not faith oh I know it shall be well with me
what's that come on what's that that's hope
that's a lot of time people don't let me give you an analogy
Brother Hagen was praying for people in the healing line and he often does that that when
he when he's about to be as I believe do you believe you can be healed do you believe God
is going to heal you now so he got to this fellow and um this guy had come to receive
the infilling of the Holy Ghost all right he's come to be able to pray in tongues to
receive the gift of tongues and then he got to him and said well I'm not sick but then
I came to receive the Holy Ghost all right do you believe you're going to get it now
he said I hope I do I said no you can't receive it so you're going to sit down here at the
front row for three days as I teach on faith then you come then he asked him he asked him
how many times have you gone for prayer to receive this thing so several times about
40 years he's been wanting the gift of tongue for 40 long years that's all right I know
why you're not getting it so you're going to sit here so first day second day third
day then third day he called for those who are sick and all of that they all came and
those who want to pray in tongues and the man came so brother Hagen saw the guy and
said do you believe you're going to pray in tongues now I said sure I've seen myself
praying in tongues as we were talking lay those hands on me brother and their hands
have not even gotten to him so something you wonder why people don't get what they want
see I know I know I will be healed you will be healed see the scriptures don't teach that
you will be healed so you're not speaking the mind of God that see listen I'm not saying
hope is not important the Bible teaches on hope the Bible says three things about faith
hope and love and these three the greatest is love so hope is important in the context
we put it for example the coming back of Jesus is not faith is hope so we hope for his return
we are expecting his return hallelujah now that's what I have a problem with all those
new Christians who say for example yeah here we go also now across then the new creation
people say yeah here now bow also now yeah in the almighty see that Jesus who came was
not our King he was the Lamb of God our King is about to come he's got the soon coming
King oh glory to God yeah he's got the soon coming King so we hope for his return we don't
fade for his return are you understanding that we we hope for his return although people
are saying Jesus is going to come in two years three years ten years fifteen years whatever
years we still hope that he will come see so the apostles had something they say Maranatha
come hallelujah yeah the rapture is something that we hope for we don't fade for rapture
they are hoping that it will come the Bible says we'll get a new body in first Corinthians
chapter 15 verse 15 now what it says we'll get a new body is we are hoping is something
that no matter how you faith it you can have it all right so things that we've faith for
we don't hope for in things we hope for we don't fade for but faith is rightly appropriated
in the things that have been done in the gospel so you cannot hope that you are going to be
healed so you can say I hope I'm going to be healed I know I'm healed now let's go to
Mark 11 23 and 24 quickly say faith is now now today I'm just teaching you the difference
between faith hope and belief tells on the faith is now yes sir and Jesus answer it from
there uh-huh now in the margin in the original is not have faith in God it's actually have
the God type of faith all right that's what it's in the original so have the God kind
of faith uh-huh continue so this is the God kind of faith so it is half faith in God or
have the God kind of it uh-huh uh-huh continue what things so ever you desire when you pray
believe that you have received them and you shall have them praise the Lord and that has
it makes sense now listen whatsoever you desire now whatsoever you desire you actually understand
what it is you can't desire that God should come now and then you have it why come on
why it's not something that was purchased by the gospel the gospel did not purchase
the return of God all right yeah so whatsoever you desire so maybe I desire healing I desire
peace of mind I desire whatever there is a principle see faith is faith is a law faith
is a law and you see sometimes you you you when you add the emotions to it it makes God
look bad because think for example this is a healing meeting and a lot of sick a lot
of sick people are here and then I pray for some some get out of the wheelchair other
people get out of the stretcher and stuff like that and they still wheel some people
back and then you ask the question why see a lot of people have legitimate questions
why is it that 12 people came and 10 were healed the two people what sin have they committed
come on hallelujah that see the problem is not God the problem has never been God see
God is a prolific giver God gives come on tell someone God gives come on come on tell
someone God gives shake the person say God gives so why then do some not receive faith
is not the motion faith is a law see the what what is the law of gravity what does the law
of gravity states whatever goes up comes down is that not a simple when they ask you what's
the law of gravity just say that whatever goes up come down if you want to come down
what do you do you jump if you stood there at the whatever and you begin to cry I've
been here for a long time I want to go down gravity will not come and say oh sorry sorry
sorry let me carry you no so say I pray I pray I pray I pray I have fasted genuineness
and sincerity does not equal faith come on I use me faith is a law what is a law a law
is a law so you cannot use your emotions to win faith faith is a law and if it's a law
that means faith is a principle you either go by it and you get what you want to get
or you forsake it and you lose whatever you are looking for praise God come on hallelujah
so he says whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe that you have them I have
soundness of mind I have healing I walk in health see that is faith are you understand
that faith will not say you see faith is not active I wrote in the devotion on that faith
is not powerful when there are no obstacles are you understand that you know when there's
nothing that is when faith is no faith lies where there are challenges you want to stop
talking about so for example my tummy I'm healed I'm healed I'm healed it is not because
you are healed that's why you are saying you are healed the truth is that in the gospel
you have been healed it's like somebody has paid for your transportation and their mate
is telling you that you have to pay again so you are enforcing the law I am healed come
on I am healed I don't have a cyclops disease that it comes here it goes and it comes and
it goes and it comes and it comes and it comes and it comes and it comes no I am healed
in the gospel he brought my healing for me and this is what I believe and Jesus is the
moment you do that when you believe that you have it you shall receive it so it means that
he knows that outwardly you don't have it but he says you have it that is the convict
that's the mind of God hallelujah see Papa Hagen say he had been on the bed for months
and the doctor says he is going to die he had doctors in his church from his Baptist
church they came to say you are going to die there is no hope for you and blah blah and
he had a deformed heart deformed heart and was unable to walk and he's been bed fast
for many months then he had his grandmother's Methodist Bible she started reading we read
it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over when he was saying that's what we were saying
it over and over just say over and over again and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over again read it like that then he got
to this scripture whatsoever things you desire believe that you have it and you shall have
it so he read that he looked at it again read it again then that was the beginning of his
healing that's all right so he had been praying Lord please heal me father heal me help me
Lord heal me God oh help me Lord help me help heal me Lord this is no so Jesus says if I
am praying for instance for my healing I should believe that I am healed and I will be healed
okay so he no more prays father heal me then he began praying I'm healed I'm walking my
heart is perfect my veins are perfect I am not dying because I believe I'm going to walk
so one day I said we're going to see a doctor or something and they got to a building and
the devil told him see this is the last time you are seeing this building you will not
see it again because you are going to die and he had read the word then he says I bet
you devil I'm going to stand here to preach I will stand here to preach and at that time
he was not walking I held me he says I am going to stand here preaching because I'm
seeing myself here preaching to multitude of people he came back they laid him down
again I'm healed I'm healed I'm healed I'm healed reading scripture over again I'm healed
I'm healed I'm healed so one day as he said I'm healed then he said he came to his mind
but healed people don't lie on the bed healed people walk so if you're healed then walk
then he says the moment that thing came to him the thing he said was all right see he
wouldn't say but you know I can't walk it is all right then he leaned against the bed
instead of picking up together and for the first time in several months he was able to
stand on his feet faith is a lot see regardless of how much God loves you regardless of how
much God loves you you can be in a situation it will look like God is not answering it's
not because God is not answering there's a way out and faith is the way out come on hallelujah
hey are you here with me everybody there's a way out and faith is your way out no sympathy
you see you there are people you can cry and cry and cry till you die you can wail and
wail and wail and wail and wail till you die nothing will change tears don't change
things hey am i talking to somebody i said tears don't change things hallelujah faith
does does it believe that you have it and you shall have them so you first believe that
i'm healed you first believe that in the name of Jesus i am prosperous you first believe
that in the name of Jesus i'm excellent you first believe that in the name of Jesus i
am speaking in tongues already when you have not even said a single syllable in tongues
hallelujah faith is not the same as hope see when you hope for things that you have in
the gospel you are postponing your own well-being hallelujah it shall be well with my soul it
shall be well with your soul it is well with my soul come on do i have people in this room
at all it is well i said it is well come on i said it is well so you don't you don't
say ah one day one day we shall overcome one day the bible says you have overcome see so
that's how you begin to think you when you get into the word of god and the word of god
lets you know what you have you talk as though as one who has it come on hallelujah you talk
as one who has it not someone who is looking for it hallelujah we don't look for healing
we are the healed and we walk in health a brother was giving a testimony that he had
a broken tooth and a very serious cavity and then they were teaching on faith and the book
for the study was one of barahagan's books and it was alright you know i have money to
go and see a dentist but i want to i want to practice this thing so he kept on reading
and he said that the broken tooth is complete and the cavity is filled now what the guy
is looking for right now is a creative miracle it is actually like a replacement of the broken
tooth and a new one and a cavity something should come and fill the cavity he says i
would not pray i would just say that daily as many times as it comes into my head did
that did that did that did that for days months and he had even forgotten it one day then
it came to his mind then he told his wife i wanted to check to see so he was rushing
to the one i wanted to check to see if what i'm seeing is right then he showed his tooth
to the wife and the wife said it's complete and the cavity is filled can you imagine that
the tooth is filled the cavity is filled the tooth is made whole so it see it means that
even in the gospel something as little as caca it can be filled see i'm teaching you
to start believing god for things things maybe you've given up on glory to god see if you
had had oppression and if taking one hand one finger of yours it can grow back oh you
don't believe that i say it can grow back it can grow back yeah it's called the power
of faith the bible says by it they subdued kingdoms by it they subdued kingdoms the bible
says by faith they quenched the violence of fire oh man man man i don't want to hit right
now but listen they do not quench the the fire they quench the violence of the fire
do you know what it means faith deactivated the power of the fire the fire was burning
all right but it had no effect now who do you think is talking about huh those Hebrew
guys are they threw them in the fire so they see the new testament gives clarity to the
old testament if you read the old testament you will not find that account you will find
that they were just walking in the midst of the fire unharmed and then they sat in the
mouth of liars you think that uh in the old testament they say oh there was one who is
like the son of man who was with them and stuff like that no it's the same thing when
the bible says elijah prayed and prayed again elijah was a man like us but he prayed that
he should not reign and he prayed that he should reign when you read in the old testament
it was not like that in the old testament elijah just appears to ahab then he says ask
the lord god live it there shall not be any due nor rain but according to my word so you
think that the guy just went to declare but then james by the spirit of god gives us the
clarity that the guy spent time praying before he went to shut down the heavens hallelujah
in the same way in hebrews we are told by faith they shut the mouth of lions and then
they quench the violence of the fire see what was that seat so it means that they had a
godly persuasion when they were entering the fire they were saying that this fire no according
to the mind of god it is a dead one it is a dead one it the fire is very bad it's a
dead one so they have the mind of god are you understanding that if you walk through
the fire you will not be burnt that's what god has said so the the the fire has no power
to burn us see the bible says that when the men that threw them into the fire the the
mighty men those that threw them they hit of the fire alone killed them but these guys
had an understanding and that's what the new god was thinking about them we cannot be destroyed
by fire so the bible says by faith they quench the violence of fire so faith deactivated
the the power of fire it actually made fire powerless glory to god come on are you hearing
that so it is very important to have the persuasions of god because listen if you have the persuasions
of god you act on it you act on it you act on it and listen don't just take actions as
faith as if faith is a law your emotions cannot be added to it let's go to mark 929 let me
say something there mark chapter 9 verse 29 and he said unto them this kind can come forth
by nothing but by prayer and fasting all right that is where are you mark 929 let's start
from let's start from 20 let's start from 17 rather so i'm bringing to you a son who
is possessed with a spirit of darkness uh-huh
look at it so say faith in the name of jesus by the time we are done in february there's
no mountain you'll not be able to take are you understanding that if there's any sickness
hidden in any part of the body you will check it out
amen i remember in when when when shs i will get up early in the morning i'll confess more
than 200 times i cannot be sick no virus can survive in my body you die i will say that
more than god knows how many times then i'll set up for school i went to the school three
years and never got sick and you see there's a guy in our class uh mendi he says one of
the things that that made him to be born because he looked at me and i never got sick there
was a point everybody in the class caught apollyo everybody everybody i was the only
person with clear eye in the in the in the place and they will i mean colins or something
because i think it was colins he came to me saying you i said listen i can even touch
your eye and smell it on my eye it would die apollyo would die
there's a living law in me
yeah but listen this prior to that this was a guy who was visiting the hospital like something
they knew me nurses knew me there when i was in primary around primary six and stuff like
that yeah glory god during one way in school i started i started experiencing something
my eye will suddenly become blurry for sometimes one hour two hours i'd have to just lie down
sleep and then it will come back again this thing happened for a while
then one day i told abu to go and escort me i'm going to mattedis park i'm going to handle that
because this time it has come for a very long time he's not living
i started i have the life of god in me you see the purchasing of the ghost that's faith is not
you know there's no strange the life of god is in me i have the holy spirit in me in the name of
jesus in the name of jesus i kept on doing that then i and then you know when you do that there's
the gear gets shifted to prayer pray and suddenly i felt like like gravels were falling off my eye
and from that day till now that rubbish has never happened again see faith works i said faith works
come on faith works faith works come on i said faith works yeah it's a law so he says they brought
with i brought my son who is possessed with a damn spirit and i brought them to i brought him to your
disciples and they could not see what does that mean they tried but they couldn't
he didn't say he didn't say they didn't he says they couldn't so mean that they tried but they
couldn't now continue 19 he answered him and said oh oh faithless generation so what's the problem
come on what's the problem faith lack of faith but they went ahead to say ah i don't know how they did it
see that see faith is not always boldness somebody can become collected not loud you know
sometimes you know everybody wants to pray and everybody wants to shout it's not compulsory
you can come collected i mean i watch andrew wumack ministry healing school and he has a small bible
in his pocket and has one sick puppet up there and he's just walking like that you know that puppet
that you should appreciate is like a lecture hall one leg like that and then simple puppet
no bible to small bible in his pocket it's it has a bottle like it has a bottle like this
there's somebody here with a back pain the lord is healing you now
that lady there in a wheelchair all right ministers get to her get to her you're being
healed right now and i'm watching that doesn't ah who is this one where is master chris
ah ah i mean child man is coming and you know
everybody you just take the sheets you take you take the sheet like that
huh
that guy's not smiling
she's free then i guess i mean and this guy is doing the thing just like he's drinking water man
no serious out africans our christianity is amazing
and the guy andrew wumack is one of the danger dangerous healers
the guy even the guy is associated with he has raised the dead like something
right yeah very jovial very awesome faith is a law faith is a law see if you stand on a tree and
you are you you just leave yourself to come down even if you were crying or you were smiling
regardless of your emotional expression you still come down that's faith because it's a law
it's a law say they could in that jesus the faith generation quickly uh-huh
now jesus bring him on to me oh in the name of jesus this year you're going to say bring him
on to me come on i said you're going to say bring him on to me you will say bring him out to me
right
so you're going to minister in the house you're going to minister wherever and they will tell you
that oh madam oh brother my son for the past six months has not been able to say where is he
bring him on to me bring him on to me i know what god thinks about this matter bring him on to me
i know what brings bring him on to me come on shout it by faith bring him on to me so by faith
bring him on to me started bring him on to me bring him on to me
oh my god there he says sit down sit down and they brought him on to him
and when he saw him straight away the spirit the spirit started manifesting
said the devil is a bastard
and it was a bastard went see so he wanted to scare jesus
so he wanted to bring him on to us all right okay
right okay yeah look at what jesus did and he fell on the ground and wallowed for me
and he asked his father how long is it ago since this came on to him you you can't trouble jesus
maybe it was you and you were just like i told about a bell of somebody
this is why i'm going to catch the demon right now because this is the point the demon has come
the persuasion will be moved on to the devil
no see something where you are even casting out a demon i remember one time i was casting the demon
and i think the person was suffering from asthma and then i said you spirit of infirmity i commanded
to manifest yourself right now before you leave when i go myself i said what what stupid thing
did i did i say what was i taking the manifestation for
that was childish to have said you manifest it means that you want to see if it's really there
and amazingly the person manifested and they yeah was asthma
out he fell down he was just there like that
he was just there like that at that heat of the moment he was sweet because i call it the things
that be not as they'll do where come come there's another there's a way when you're casting out the
demon you want to if it's possible you want to just remove the person from the person remove
the demon then bring the face
and he asked for how long is it ago since he's came since this came onto him and he said of a child
one has a child done see the demons are wicked spirits
wicked we say from a child they have no mercy even when they are pleading like when they come oh
please don't cast us away don't distract they in their plead they are still they are still
meditating on another wickedness to do they are only humble when they meet the power of jesus
that's the only time apart from that they are very arrogant all right so
and oftentimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him
oh but if thou can do anything have compassion on us and help us and jesus said to him amen if you
can't believe did you see that
now jesus threw the response right back to him says you've got to believe if you can't believe
if you can't believe man of god man of god please help me man of god if you see you can come for help
if you're not believing that will happen i understand jesus says if you can't believe then
listen to something something that's so amazing and i'm going to teach this scripture when i'm
talking about hindrances to faith he says if you can't believe all things are possible to him that
believers and straight away the father of the child cried out and said with tears oh my god
lord i believe help down my own belief
this is this is touching this touches the heart think about it the man is confused
lord i believe help my own belief see if your child is sick
what that was talking on this scripture says you see why i have a special thing ministering to children
oh was i can't make the bible come alive and i cried the way it was so i just have to cry
the father was frustrated he said help me i believe but help my own belief how can you believe
and all believe at the same time now let's continue and straight away the um
when jesus saw that the people came running together he rebuked the foul spirit and say
unto him thou dumb and deaf spirit i charge thee come out of him and enter him no more
jesus and the spirit cried and rained him so and came out of him
and he was as one dead so you see when you're reading scriptures like this if we're a ministering
then you know when you cast a demon some of the things you should you should see
because the care is not taking when the person falls out as dead you may you may even shake
one of your either you cast a demon yes okay so i was when i was his s hs one after the sake
i went to minister after btree's got healed i went to minister s you called me to come in minister
i said praise be to so i went to minister now when i ministered at that time i had been born again
fresh you know new creation realities most more then there was this lady so right from me i just
said yeah you're sick and all of that then so i had a beautiful healing line there praying to the
people and they fell down and stuff like that then this lady i forgot in her name very short
cute lady fair very beautiful girl no no she had asthma and i said what's wrong with you
she had asthma and i said what's wrong with you she's asma so right then i laid hands and fell down
breathless everything less so i kept on ministering you know
after about one hour when the service was over the girl was still there
i'm telling you anyone serious now the su leaders came to me and then they said listen
the girl is still there i said don't worry now i went into my bag or somewhere then i
picked my handkerchief i did like this i don't know where i was getting you know it's good to be
taught because if you are not taught you will bring a tia african traditional religion into
christianity so right now you know like oh
oh you know like that
yeah
let me do a step down in the name of jesus
we then i saw the leaders mounting up the gates
do you know what it means nobody's going out
it was getting late then i was a day student i was in a border and i told them you know what
the lady is going to come back to life you come back i have to go whatever happens call me
yes the truth or matter is that i was scared
and that was a friday i said yeah i did not have any call whatsoever
call whatsoever monday
when i went i saw the lady and listen i nearly stopped praying for people
see i have not come across this creature yet that you can cast out a demon and the person can be
there like one who is dead it's very normal don't rush it they'll come back
they will come don't rush it don't don't be
lift the person up lift him up
see at least in 26 and the spirit cried and rent himself and came out of him and he was as one
dead in so my that many said he is dead meaning that it took a while
so the people that came out and said hey
and look at what jesus did but jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he arose
glory to god
there's nobody like jesus see when you read these scriptures like you should make you fall in love
with jesus he he was he was the master of circumstances he took his hand
and he arose and when he was coming to the house his disciples asked him privately
why could not we cast him out why
and he said to him this kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting
are you understanding so faith is i will explain the scripture some weeks down the line faith is
a law faith is not much
all right let me try and see like trial and error
like the other day tyler is not trying to trial and error
all right try out an arrow
so you must know what god thinks
faith is what god thinks it's not even your fame faith is not
faith is not all right
that is atr african tradition religion yeah faith is not
you don't know when you have faith somebody can be very calm
you are the convictions of god inside the person so faith is not is not
not
no faith is not as she
faith is having the knowledge of the persuasions of god
hallelujah hey are you here with me everybody that is faith so if i stand before somebody
who is sick the person must know that god has healed me and the one that is going to minister
must know that this one is healed and the sickness is illegal and that gives you the
boldness to lay hands on the person see that's why it's important for example if you have
if you are tilted towards healing more to read a lot of scriptures not just a lot of books but
a lot of scriptures you see the compassion of jesus you see how jesus healed the sick you see
how the apostles healed the sick and you have a sensible person who's been healing the sick you
see how your pastor does it and then it gets you moved then it gets you convinced that no god is
not happy when he sees people sick and broken so because of that i'm going to carry my divine
conviction out there to pray for those who are sick
hallelujah see most often than not we we we pick
the gift to be the norm but that's not it
all together don't pick the gift to be the norm just know what god thinks about this matter
what is god saying right now what is god saying right now what is god saying in his word
now when you get to know what god is saying see that is what people say
it is when you get the realm of the word that it works
and what they call rema mostly actually is prophecy all right prophecy reading the bible
alone that you are healed by his eyes were healed and all of that does not just do it doesn't do
that you have to like that understanding you know like the man who had who had poor talk
it was not just poor talking that brought the man but there was something there was a
deposit behind what paul was saying that made the man convinced that i'm not going back
being willed no i am walking i'm shooting up i'm jumping so maybe once paul was talking he's
the guy was ready for the prayer time
hallelujah think about it when we start ministry
then you hear somebody inside the crowd who just sometimes you have not started ministry
anointing and anointing will start catching people
that is the same thing that happened to the man just that the man was healed
all right like somebody is there you know during the camp one of the days i was ministry and there
was a guy who was seated across i mean this is the first one so the second one but right at the
entrance i mean the whatever it is one line like this and the guy was then whilst i was ministry
the guy was just like this i don't know how many of us saw the guy and tears were coming out it was
shaking shivering shaking shivering but there were other people where they were normal some
people were even talking you know
but somebody was catching everything
so that that is what is called faith
faith is not faith
is not faith faith is simply the convictions that exudes from the word of god
that's why the bible says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word
if you see the reason why it's very hard for some people to receive from god and it's very hard for
people to be healed it's very hard for people to be this and people to that can i tell you what
simple they have been raised in unbelief that it is difficult for them to even have faith
very difficult very very difficult very difficult if you grew up in a place where you saw people
huge where you saw it easy to heal people you easily know that sickness is not anything
but if you grow up in a situation or in a place where healing is a once a century thing
you you you are likely never to experience one in your life
if you grow up if you grow up in a an environment where wealth or prosperity
is only for a sect there's a certain amount of money it will never cross your hand
but if you grow up also in places where money is the normal balance this one is talking about
700 million this one's talking about 300 million this one is talking about uh one million ghanasi
this one's talking about 550 million ghanasi this one every day money plenty money plenty money
you are in the spirit of money
so sometimes it's very difficult for people to receive
difficult for people that's why i see when you get born again the bible entreats you to renew your mind
all right to be transformed by the renew because i mean you you have inherited cultures you have
inherited uh how do you call it words words from your mother words from your father words from your
neighborhood words from all kinds of how do we call it words of unbelief
so when you are trying to even receive from god you are thinking that it's not possible
so when that happens faith is a lot faith is not emotions it will not happen
because you see we believe that god can do all things
how many of us believe god can do all things so why is he not able to do the all things in our lives
the fault is not god
study the word get into the word it is not
it's not just a training it's a way to get your faith
it's not just a training it's a way to get your faith stead is a way to get your faith built
hallelujah tell somebody the problem is not a problem come on the problem is not a problem
come on the problem is not a problem
all right now
let's go again to
let's go again to mark five
open your bibles mark five
if you're there say i'm there if you're not there say wait for me all right and a certain woman 25
mark 525 and a certain woman which had an issue of blood 12 years
and had suffered many things or many physicians and has spent all that she had
and was nothing better but rather grew worse when she had heard of jesus came in the press behind
and touched his garment for she said if i may but touch his clothes i shall be whole and straight
away the fountain of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of that
plague and jesus immediately knowing himself that virtue had gone out of him turned about in the
press and said who touched my clothes and his disciple said unto him thou seer the multitude
thronging thee and seers thou who touched me and he looked around about to see her that had done
this thing but the woman fearing trembling knowing what was done in her came and fell down before him
and told him all the truths and he said unto her daughter thy faith has made thee whole go in peace
and be whole of thy plague now i've told you faith is not hope now what is hope
faith hope is in the future all right the things we hope for we don't feed for the things we feed
for we don't hope for you cannot feed for jesus to come like for example someone says oh the
bible says and with faith nothing shall be impossible so it means that by faith i can even
command that god should come today what a fate god knows that people like that where this is that's why
he he plays faith it whoever your phone is like that please put it on silent hallelujah listen
faith is not hope and faith is not belief
i'm going to close with that faith is not the same as belief now a lot of people
that's that's where the problem is
yeah
faith is pestis belief is pestil it means they all come from a pest
hallelujah belief also has the same conviction persuasion and all of that but mostly it is
something man does so babu never say belief comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god no
it's faith that comes now what is belief what's the difference between faith and belief this is a
perfect scripture now
right now let me give an instance um dr kc price babe in his book how faith works now
that book somebody has taken it away from my books if you are here bring it
yes i don't know whoever that is a book i never give out i do i will never give that book out
to anybody not under any circumstance so it's not there are some books i don't give out but the book
has found its way out of my library if it's with you bring it look at someone say if it's with you
bring it
so listen in that book he tries to um differentiate between faith and belief
and he started the book by saying imagine we are having a service here and then somebody falls off
and collapses then we have a medical doctor here we tell the medical doctor maybe rabbi and
gifty them to go and see what the problem is awareness
then they went to see the person then i asked gifty what's the problem then gifty says oh
the man is actually dying or suffering from extreme hunger
that is why he's there all right so what do we do we need to get the man something to eat
okay then we go we buy all kinds of food see why was this all kinds of prayer so all kinds of food
all kinds of food so we get all that food then we wheel the man straight to here where the food is
this time they've been able to i mean with first aid be able to um
resuscitate him and he's able to talk a bit then we ask mr shoe
the doctor says you're suffering from a b and c and the solution you need is food not really prayer
so do you believe if you eat you will be well he says yes sure i believe i will be
okay then he's still there he's not eating i still ministry i'm still ministry
i still ministry i'm still missing mr shoe do you believe if you eat this thing said before
you're going to be well oh sure i believe i will be well
can the man die or not
come on why
why because he didn't eat the food
but i thought he said he believed that if he eats the food he will not die
uh he believes that if he eats the food he will not die
so why did he die then come on talk to me we are learning here why did he die
uh come on
come on
he didn't he didn't he didn't want he didn't eat
so belief is not enough
the fact that you believe that you are healed in the gospel is not enough
the introduction of faith is acting on that belief so faith is the man now stretching his hands to
pick that food and put it in his mouth to eat it
back to the scripture the bible says when the woman heard of jesus he sat in himself
sorry he sat in herself that if i can but just touch the hem of his garment i will be healed
uh was that what was that what made was that what made the woman healed come on talk to me
think about it so if the man if the woman had kept standing
if i touch his clothes i will be well if i touch his clothes i will be well
if i touch his clothes i will be well
if i touch
she would have grew worse
but the bible says after she had that conviction which is man-made right that if i go and touch
the hem of his garment i am going to be well
what did she do she pressed
she pressed that is one of the reasons people don't get healed
and they don't get things from god they have the belief they know god can heal them
now you ask the person do you believe god yes i sure i believe god can heal me
but the actions on it i told you i said i was praying for somebody
and once i was praying we were in a meeting and the lord actually said that go pray for this person
they want to pray for the person after prayer i said come on get the person was not able to work
i said get up and the person held me say no please he's not able to he can't walk he can't he can't
walk please
now that day may hit his plug like hey you see there are there are times that
you are looking for even the devil to heal
yeah i said please please no no no please please just pray for him and go
i'm serious
see there are two different things there are two different the faith is action faith is actually
faith is do something based on that conviction that you have act
come on glory to god come on hallelujah
come on glory to god come on hallelujah said the woman says i've got this conviction
if i touch the helm of his government i'm going to be healed and i still can see a lot of people
truncate him but i'm going to push my way through the ability to take that steps
to get and pull the helm of his government that is called faith you remember one time
jesus was having a meeting in the house and the bible said the place was packed
very packed and then these were four brothers
and their brother was sick
they wanted to come in and when they came the place was full then the bible said
hello i mean one person brought an idea you know what let's uncover the roof let's uncover the
roof there and then when we we uncover the roof we'll drop him right in front of jesus
because if all that we need is for jesus to see so they believe that this guy can be healed
if he meets jesus he will be healed they could have just said oh the place is full oh
the place is full oh my god what in dubai
prasty oh god is everywhere is everywhere god is everywhere they would have gone home
with that same person on their bed so they uncovered the roof and then they dropped him
so they saw their faith the bible says when jesus saw their faith
so what did jesus see he saw their faith so what was that faith the action
so what does that mean faith is action when jesus saw their faith
it means jesus moved in some things jesus never thought somebody could ever have that mind to do
it no think about it somebody who is sick maybe cannot walk then goes for a meeting a healing
meeting and the word of god is coming forth and the person does not care he the person just waiting
for the moment they will say all the sick people come forward you will not be healed you will not
be healed why because you don't have any actually you are just waiting to be remoted because you see
as the word of god is coming to you the word of god has mind the word of god has hand the word of
god has power to tell you without even the preacher talking rise up and walk he will say that in your
little ears and boom you'll get up when pastor chris came to god a night of bliss i was there very
early around 2 a.m because i couldn't sleep the meeting was supposed to be at 9 p.m and i went
there the day before 2 a.m so i really saw a lot see listen they were just arranging the place
and people were walking out of wheelchairs and people were still in the wheelchair
the man had not come
they were just arranging the place your christian mercy and their paintings and their stuff
and you are here you see a wheelchair being lifted you see another wheelchair being lifted
you see wheelchair and there's a shout everywhere and that went on and on and on and on and on
and still they will people back home
people back home what is the difference
maybe those who got healed before the actual said we were there the first person might have been
praying i am not going back in this chair no i'm not going back i'm not going back i'm and
you know i heard that they they even had a sort of a mini healing school before they brought them
the some of them so not all of them but some of them had a healing school so imagine
saw the people then the person started and whoever brought the person lifted the wheelchair
then somebody also sat down and said ah god healed this person i'm next in line i'm getting ready
i'm getting ready boom then this one i'm getting ready boom then i'm getting boom boom like that
see that is faith faith is action
check see this fating we are doing we are going to end last week in in in february next month
two is something about faith we're teaching that for two months the best you can do just be reading
the gospels back and forth matthew mark luke and john and underline all the places jesus
recommended the faith of people your faith has made you whole your faith has made you whole
your faith has made you just look at all of them read all of them and you'll find out that every
your faith has made you whole was an action it was an act a man came to jesus and then jesus is all
right i'm going to go with you one of my servants or something like that is sick and jesus all right
let's go he says no no i don't need you to come to my place just speak the word
because i'm also a man and authority and i say to this go and he goes i say to this come and i say
to this and so you don't need to i'm too unwary to come to my roof just speak the word and jesus says
please what a great faith have not seen this no not in israel
think about it no would you be happy to have jesus in your home or not
what do you think you that you have the holy ghost
the man said don't come there don't speak the ah yeah speak the word you see and that
in that it looks like faith tickles jesus and instant a woman came to jesus and my daughter is
vexed with a demon and if i was a jesus will not answer him
and he kept on and the disciple says master suck this woman away he's disturbing us
so suck her away and jesus a woman listened to me i came for the children of israel
i didn't come for the gentiles now the food that is meant for the children
is not given to dogs somebody could have said ah like my mother she went to church
and she was sleeping and the woman said if you sleep if you sleep i'll pour water on you
said that to the crowd the woman won every for three times and my mom went she goes to church
and she has to sleep not even an angel can change that
she slept like that the woman took uh sashay water and she was sitting in front
and my brother and my sister were there at the back and they came to because they knew my mother
could have just gotten up and slapped the woman right there in the church she is that sarcastic
so the moment she got up honorable and my sister was there then they just carried in her
then they took her out and come and see is she my age mate is she my age mate so it means that
our speculation was true
hey my man if you see if you see a hand
hand oh in class two there was a guy called isa very stubborn and his mother was very stubborn
yeah they are they are they are muslims the woman is thick and tall then isa
isa used uh nail i was drinking a bottle away no two new no and then i'm
and then
then you know
the woman even beat me the woman is crazy when we talk about somebody who is crazy
the woman is crazy all the area nobody talks the woman is virginity so when i went i'm earlier here
when i went and i told my mom i know my mother also know my mom is not tall my mom is no
they went to the school and then the teachers actually confirmed
it
my goodness she messed the woman up i'm not kidding and she was not wearing trouser she was just my
mom and her slater she stood at one place and she's a lefty my goodness she just she she she
used the right so that you want to save here then then but the time people came she had mesmerized
them the woman then she said next time so i'm telling you the kind of the kind of woman i worship
she would have beaten the pastor dread i'm telling you see she was selling at the market
and there was this guy who comes you know those days i don't know if they do it now
they come for tickets and stuff like that you buy your heart and my mom doesn't like paying those
things then my mom said go come go come the one element the guy came angry that she's seizing my
mother's case she doesn't pay how's her hair no about is a way of measure and this is not a boil
mommy
come and the man the guy is a customer guy come and see the market
ah
is here there is power in the name of jesus it will enter you yeah
when you were sleeping
see faith can't work for people like that hallelujah so if you're serious about it
you came for healing or you want to minister healing think about those people who come to
church and the way they are working like that when they come and sit as you when they have given birth
then you see their children walking up down the stage they do not they are too lazy to even get
up to chase the child whoever is carrying bring the child if you can bring let i cannot come and
kill myself then they are teaching you there's a church like this that's what that's over so
the person has nowhere going in life hallelujah faith is an action thing glory to god faith is an
action thing faith is an act the babush is the houses let's go let's go to um um 11 six hebrus
let's close to that one quickly
uh-huh but without faith it is impossible to without faith now those of us who are born again
without faith already i just want to say something about faith all right without faith it is
impossible to please god for he that comets now for he that come on for he that for he that comets
he that for he that cometh what has come is an action thing he that come to god must believe
that he is he is he that come to god must what must be persuaded that he is
so you don't just come to god come with some persuasion
he that come and believe that he is not he was not he is going to be he is he is now
see the word is he that coming to god must believe that he exists
yes so don't go to god like somebody you think is not there no come on if you really think god is
there how are you going to approach him if you know that how are you going to approach if you
know that he's there so he that coming to god must believe that he is you're coming to receive the
baptism in the holy ghost we want to pray in talks and you come and you're standing here
you're standing here and then you are talking to somebody then you are smiling
it means you're not serious
you're not serious about it there's no sickness that cannot be cured and healed
there's no problem that cannot be dissolved there's no mounting that cannot be removed
there's no mounting there's no mounting see i don't know what you're dealing with
or you're expecting god to deal with it is possible i said it is possible it is possible
see faith can drive men to bring you money faith can bring healing faith it can do everything
it can do everything
i want to show nothing is impossible hey say like you mean it why say in the name of jesus
nothing is impossible one more time say nothing is impossible one more time nothing is impossible
come on nothing is impossible nothing is impossible nothing is impossible
he that coming to god must believe that he is he must be persuaded that he is he must be convinced
that he is oh i believe god is i believe god is powerful i believe god is almighty i believe god
is i believe god is all that he is
yes
faith works come on has a faith works faith works faith works faith works
yeah he that coming to god must believe that he is so it's not enough to believe
faith is an action thing see faith and believe is like the two sides of a coin
you can't faith without believing and you can't believe without faithing
because faith alone see the mouth of faith is there is a substance of things hoped for
it means that even for faith to work it means that there's something you're expecting
but the moment you get into the realm of faith you no more expect you believe you have it
you believe you have it you believe you have it come on shawty i have it come on say i have it
come on i have it see that's why we have confessions of faith very powerful
i'm the righteousness of god i am healed i walk in health i walk in soundness of mind
in the name of jesus i cannot have terminal sickness i cannot have terminal ailment in the
name of jesus the blood of jesus has procured for me eternal health in the name of jesus i'm

Listen.
One time, Jesus demonstrated faith.
He did something and he used that to teach on faith.
He was walking with his disciples and he saw a fig tree and he wanted to get something of it to eat.
And the fig tree had no fruit and the Bible said,
When he saw it had no fruit, then he said that,
Again, Jesus cursed it.
When he cursed it, then they left.
Everything Jesus said did not come to pass when he said it, physically.
So there was a time, the next day, he was going somewhere with his disciples.
And he was walking with an angelic grace.
Then one of the disciples said,
Master, see the fig tree that you cursed.
It's dead.
And Jesus told them, have the God kind of faith.
That's what Jesus told them, have the God kind of faith.
What is the God kind of faith?
See, don't say I said it.
It didn't work. Never say that.
Never say that.
Jesus said it.
And when he said it, physically nothing happened.
But the words of Jesus went deep to the roots.
And deactivated life from the tree.
See, I see that this is an example to me.
Anything in my life that is not godly productive, I kill it.
I kill it.
And Jesus says faith, that's it.
I can tell a boy, you cease to grow, you are dead.
She can look at somebody with cancer and say the cancer is dead.
You can look at somebody with fibroid and say you are dead.
It may not string that day.
But you know, oh dear comers, I love Jesus.
Jesus was on his way to go and heal a man whose daughter was sick or something.
And the man had come to Jesus and Jesus was going with the man.
And Jesus met a situation, he was dealing with a situation.
And then somebody came from the house, a master, trouble not the master, feather, he's dead.
See, see, don't worry Jesus again, he's dead.
And then when Jesus heard it, then Jesus turned to the man.
Don't be afraid.
Believe.
Jesus, don't be scared, don't be scared, don't be scared, don't be scared.
I told you he's not going to die, don't be scared, believe.
Just keep faith alive.
That's why Jesus said keep faith alive.
Oh, I said he's dead, it's like I'm feeling the symptoms.
I'll tell you something about faith.
One of the week I'll teach you something.
That for faith to work, you don't consider symptoms, you consider the word.
The Bible says Abraham did not consider his body, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb.
He's target not.
This is something for our learning.
I don't have migraine headaches.
I don't. I don't have migraine.
I don't. I don't.
See, my faith is alive.
Come on, one more time. My faith is alive.
Stretch out your hands. My faith is alive.
One more time. My faith is alive.
My faith is alive.
I'm going to give you five minutes. You're going to prophesy.
You're going to speak words of faith.
To whatever.
If you have to call it by name, call it by name and say something to it.
See, by the man of God for me this year, I will not be lukewarm.
I will be on fire.
On fire.
See the next five minutes, lift up your voice.
Lift up your voice in the next five minutes. Come on.
Come on.
Say
Hallelujah.
Say in the name of Jesus.
Everything the word of God says about me.
That's my conviction.
Come on say that's my conviction.
That's my conviction.
Whatever the word says about me.
Regardless of what I'm seeing.
I stand by the word.
I stand by the word of God.
You see.
There's a lady.
There's a lady in one of our branches.
The lady suddenly.
What was that? It was lost of memory.
The lady could not remember anything.
They had gone for Amok summit.
Whatever.
Suddenly he was not remembering anybody.
He could remember up to age six or class six.
But could not remember anything again.
Couldn't remember the mom. Couldn't remember anything.
Saw herself in her wig or whatever and she started screaming.
So they had to shave her or something like that.
And the doctor says
They had to either do a surgery or some hoot or something.
And the dad says alright I'm going to pray.
And the dad went to pray and the lord told the dad.
Go and take the girl out of the hospital. Nothing is wrong with her.
Then he goes to the hospital and he says please I need my daughter.
We are going home. The doctor says no no no.
The lord says nothing is wrong with her.
Taking her home.
She took her home and I think the next day or the two days later.
The lady was just there. The lady just came back.
Remembered everything.
That is faith.
God says nothing is wrong with my daughter.
When he was taking the daughter out of the hospital.
She was still not remembering anything.
But God says nothing is wrong with you.
There's nothing wrong with you.
There's nothing wrong with me.
That is what God says. And I believe.
I believe.
Oh.
Colosando Bahia.
I'm a man of faith.
I'm God's catholicity.
I am walking.
Whatever the word of God says about me.
I am the head.
I am not the tail.
I am the blessing.
Kings come to my risen.
And princes to the brightness of my rising.
In the name of Jesus.
I'm walking in power.
I'm walking in dominion.
I'm walking in glory.
Glory to God.
Praise and praise and bless the name of the Lord.
Thank you Jesus.
In the name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
The white and the mid-fire burns.
My heart is captured to lurk.
I have in me the burning fire.
The sound of great things.
I have in me the burning fire.
