Now, 00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:27.260 enjoy this week's message. Praise the Lord. Hey, 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.699 thank you. You may be seated. Amen. Thank you, 00:00:31.699 --> 00:00:34.560 Lord. Well, as Pastor said, you know there's 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:38.960 a sensitivity to God in this room. And you can 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:44.140 keep that switch on at the same time. Hear the 00:00:44.140 --> 00:00:47.840 things from the Word of God that will actually 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.820 trigger the presence of the Lord to just heal 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.939 you right while you're in your seat. It's amazing 00:00:53.939 --> 00:00:58.039 how that works. Don't overanalyze. Don't overthink. 00:00:58.910 --> 00:01:00.750 I'm going to give you some things today that 00:01:00.750 --> 00:01:04.189 possibly you've not thought of before. You say, 00:01:04.209 --> 00:01:05.989 what's the benefit of that? Well, that you're 00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:07.670 going to have to rethink something instead of 00:01:07.670 --> 00:01:09.269 thinking, well, you already know what he's saying. 00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:13.609 And while you're rethinking, your heart will 00:01:13.609 --> 00:01:17.150 get excited. And you'll think, wow, that's really 00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:19.150 good. In the moment, wow, that's really good. 00:01:19.450 --> 00:01:22.250 There's an anointing. And there's a release. 00:01:23.549 --> 00:01:28.090 We bypass so much of where our faith. triggers 00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:32.129 the anointing. Now that's because we live in 00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:33.989 a world that has nothing to do with what we're 00:01:33.989 --> 00:01:39.329 doing in this church. And I know this is going 00:01:39.329 --> 00:01:42.730 to be harsh that we would say, I love the Lord 00:01:42.730 --> 00:01:44.829 with all my heart. Well, you love the Lord with 00:01:44.829 --> 00:01:48.409 all your heart to the small degree that you give 00:01:48.409 --> 00:01:55.569 him your heart. And I do too. Because we're learning 00:01:55.569 --> 00:02:00.019 how to keep ourselves connected to him at all 00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:06.079 times. Because the typical mentality of Christianity, 00:02:06.219 --> 00:02:11.340 there's a lot of definitions there. I mean, there's 00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.819 men that fought in a Christian war that had a 00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:16.860 Christian flag, but probably didn't know Jesus 00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:19.099 as Lord and Savior. Do you know the greatest 00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:20.699 amount of churches that will call themselves 00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:23.159 Christian don't even preach a gospel message 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.539 where people get saved? You do know that, right? 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.960 And those of us who are saved have for so long 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:39.719 been rewarded for coming. You don't get a reward 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.500 for coming. Do you know how many stars have been 00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:49.120 handed out for perfect attendance? Do you know 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.860 how many people think they own a chair because 00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:57.639 they've given tithes for 20 years? That has nothing 00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.699 to do with you getting an answer to a prayer. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:05.439 It's your divine connection to him and how alive 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:10.819 that is. So in a sense, when we hear 1 Thessalonians 00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:15.379 5, verse 17, pray without ceasing, well, that 00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:16.819 doesn't mean you're on your knees all day long. 00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:19.180 Prayer is interaction. Prayer is fellowship. 00:03:19.259 --> 00:03:21.319 Prayer is communion. I like the word interaction 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.939 because now we are interacting together. It's 00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:26.800 not a monologue. It's a dialogue. Prayer is fellowship. 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.139 So you can do that without ceasing, and there's 00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:33.530 ways you can do it. And we've actually, I'm not 00:03:33.530 --> 00:03:36.270 just trying to sell a book. Listen, I wish somebody 00:03:36.270 --> 00:03:40.050 else's name was on this because then I could 00:03:40.050 --> 00:03:42.810 really promote it. But people that have taken 00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:44.689 the simple things that we've shared here about 00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:47.509 connecting with God and have become over excessive 00:03:47.509 --> 00:03:51.349 with it have constant testimonies every single 00:03:51.349 --> 00:03:55.449 week of God encounters. From the smallest of 00:03:55.449 --> 00:03:59.169 things to the most amazing things. Now, a real 00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:05.909 church, And I believe this is one. And I'm not, 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.770 you know, the inspector that God is using to 00:04:08.770 --> 00:04:10.550 figure out which one is and which one isn't. 00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:15.750 But my idea of a real church is the people are 00:04:15.750 --> 00:04:18.269 experiencing God throughout the week with such 00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:21.029 degree that when they come to the church and 00:04:21.029 --> 00:04:23.209 the pastor says that anybody have a testimony, 00:04:23.329 --> 00:04:26.009 every hand goes up and they go up in the manner 00:04:26.009 --> 00:04:29.370 that remember when you didn't know 15 of the 00:04:29.370 --> 00:04:31.569 questions. And you had your head down because 00:04:31.569 --> 00:04:33.290 you didn't want the teacher to see your eyes 00:04:33.290 --> 00:04:35.029 because you thought if I don't see her, she doesn't 00:04:35.029 --> 00:04:38.550 see me. And then all of a sudden she asks ones 00:04:38.550 --> 00:04:41.069 that you know and then you're on your tiptoes 00:04:41.069 --> 00:04:43.449 to do what? To get her to respond to you because 00:04:43.449 --> 00:04:48.230 you actually know that one? Real church to me 00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:49.810 would be the pastor, who's got a testimony? And 00:04:49.810 --> 00:04:53.970 everybody's got a hand up because they're constantly 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:57.430 experiencing him and he's become real to them. 00:04:57.810 --> 00:05:01.970 Now, you will never, burn out with that kind 00:05:01.970 --> 00:05:05.430 of Christianity. You will never get bored with 00:05:05.430 --> 00:05:08.430 that kind of Christianity. It will be new every 00:05:08.430 --> 00:05:11.149 day and every morning as though you had just 00:05:11.149 --> 00:05:16.790 experienced him for the first time. Praise the 00:05:16.790 --> 00:05:20.790 Lord. Amen. Think that might work for you? Okay. 00:05:23.110 --> 00:05:35.949 Amen. Amen. I felt led that he needed that. Turn 00:05:35.949 --> 00:05:38.850 your Bibles. I'm going fast this morning. Exodus 00:05:38.850 --> 00:05:46.370 and chapter 15. Before I do, I want to wake you 00:05:46.370 --> 00:05:53.050 up with a couple of thoughts. If I live in my 00:05:53.050 --> 00:06:01.649 house with my wife, And my kids know that it's 00:06:01.649 --> 00:06:04.529 our house. Now that they're grown, they come 00:06:04.529 --> 00:06:08.990 to visit. If I pay a water bill at my house and 00:06:08.990 --> 00:06:12.629 it has my name on it and my address. If I pay 00:06:12.629 --> 00:06:19.069 taxes. If I pay insurance to my house. God knows. 00:06:20.810 --> 00:06:23.209 If I ever questioned if it's my house, I just 00:06:23.209 --> 00:06:31.790 ask Amazon. And they will tell me, we come here 00:06:31.790 --> 00:06:38.949 every day, that's your house. Then how hard do 00:06:38.949 --> 00:06:43.149 I have to work at knowing that it's my house? 00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:51.069 If he died on the cross, if he arose the third 00:06:51.069 --> 00:06:55.089 day, if he sent the Holy Spirit. If I've been 00:06:55.089 --> 00:06:58.470 born of the Spirit, filled with the Spirit, hear 00:06:58.470 --> 00:07:02.410 Him, listen to Him, walk with Him, and talk with 00:07:02.410 --> 00:07:06.589 Him, then how hard do I have to work at getting 00:07:06.589 --> 00:07:12.790 an answer to a prayer? See, it's amazing how 00:07:12.790 --> 00:07:18.829 we enforce ourselves upon this world, but we 00:07:18.829 --> 00:07:22.610 lay down like a welcome mat when it comes to 00:07:22.610 --> 00:07:25.310 the things of the Spirit. I mean, if you've got 00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:27.350 a little boy and you say, Sonny, I want you to 00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:28.649 sit in that chair. He don't want to sit in that 00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:31.910 chair. Oh, well, if he don't want to sit in that 00:07:31.910 --> 00:07:33.170 chair, I guess he ain't going to sit in that 00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:35.029 chair. Oh, yes, he is going to sit in that chair. 00:07:36.110 --> 00:07:38.750 He's going to sit in that chair. Bless the Lord, 00:07:38.790 --> 00:07:42.689 oh my soul. He will sit in that chair and he 00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:45.490 will enjoy that chair and he will become a part 00:07:45.490 --> 00:07:53.560 of that chair. And he will be a good boy. Because 00:07:53.560 --> 00:08:00.420 at his age, I tell him what to do. So how come 00:08:00.420 --> 00:08:08.720 you can't tell the devil what to do? You go out 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:13.240 to eat and you order a steak and somehow or another, 00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:15.319 the order gets messed up and you get salmon. 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:21.660 Well, it's okay. I'm sure they're busy. You know, 00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:25.839 salmon's good. I know I'm paying a lot more for 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.019 the steak, but the salmon's okay. This looks 00:08:28.019 --> 00:08:30.139 good. I won't say, don't say anything. Don't 00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:36.580 say anything. What? No, I'm a New Yorker. We 00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:41.559 talk before we even think. And I can sure as 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.159 bet you that I can make someone do whatever I 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.139 need to do if I can use my horn. Because we learn 00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:50.759 at an early age how to make that horn. In your 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.440 car, say a lot of things. I can tell you to go 00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:56.059 back to bed and start all over because you ain't 00:08:56.059 --> 00:08:57.759 doing a good job driving. I can tell you that. 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.519 Amen. And it's not a toot. There's a manipulation 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.620 of that horn. I can make it say something. Amen. 00:09:04.100 --> 00:09:07.519 And I'm working on that. That's a weak spot in 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.120 my life. I'll go for that horn. And he's like, 00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:13.600 no, don't you do it. I know I'm not supposed 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.320 to, but I'll do it anyhow. Just because she said 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.240 don't, you know. I'm working on all these things. 00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:25.000 But no, I wouldn't have any problem. I'll say, 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.679 ma 'am, I don't know how things got messed up, 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:29.240 but did you remember that I actually ordered 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.700 a steak? You did. Well, would you mind going 00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:34.480 ahead and getting it? No, we can't do that. Yes, 00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:38.139 you can. In fact, if you can't do it, I'll go 00:09:38.139 --> 00:09:40.320 back and talk to the manager because I'm not 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.960 paying for a steak and I got a salmon. But I 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.759 know you can do it. Wouldn't you at least get 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:49.480 your steak? How come we won't get our healing? 00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:59.580 I want you to think for a moment. You have the 00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:05.679 skill set to walk in divine health, to walk in 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.840 the purity of the spirit, to enjoy the voice 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:12.620 of God and live with him. You have the skill 00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:15.000 set. You actually don't need to develop it. You 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:21.250 have the skill set. We just need to stir that 00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:25.149 up in you. So I want to bring you to a couple 00:10:25.149 --> 00:10:27.110 passages here because this is going to be very 00:10:27.110 --> 00:10:29.169 interesting to see what your response is going 00:10:29.169 --> 00:10:32.389 to be. Amen. Exodus chapter 15. Now you know 00:10:32.389 --> 00:10:35.230 where we are, the children of Israel, gloriously 00:10:35.230 --> 00:10:38.710 have been brought out of Egypt. Amen. And they've 00:10:38.710 --> 00:10:40.350 been marching through the wilderness, you know, 00:10:40.370 --> 00:10:42.809 complaining one day after the next, complaining, 00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:45.809 complaining, complaining. But God's grace is 00:10:45.809 --> 00:10:48.799 leading them out. The law didn't start until 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.860 they demanded that they were able to actually 00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:53.840 make their own way and they didn't need Yahweh. 00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.419 They didn't need the Lord. And then the law came. 00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.820 But before they demanded that they do it their 00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:01.620 own way. You know what I mean? This calf just 00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:07.580 jumped out of the fire. You liar. You liar. I 00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:12.860 watched you put that thing together. Amen. So 00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.019 God's just blessing them even with all their 00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:18.899 complaining. They come through the Red Sea and 00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:22.340 now we pick up on their journey to get some water 00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:26.220 because, you know, it's desert. And it says right 00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:28.299 here, so Moses brought Israel, this is verse 00:11:28.299 --> 00:11:31.500 22, from the Red Sea. Then they went out to the 00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:33.659 wilderness of Shur and they went three days into 00:11:33.659 --> 00:11:35.919 the wilderness and found no water. Now when they 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.899 came to Merah, Merah, Merah, they could not drink 00:11:39.899 --> 00:11:42.539 the waters for they were bitter. Therefore the 00:11:42.539 --> 00:11:44.360 name of the place was called Merah or bitterness. 00:11:45.230 --> 00:11:47.190 And the people complained. Well, that's just 00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:49.190 kind of normal. They complained again against 00:11:49.190 --> 00:11:52.070 Moses saying, what shall we drink? So we cried 00:11:52.070 --> 00:11:53.990 out to the Lord. The Lord showed him a tree. 00:11:54.049 --> 00:11:56.110 Of course, this is symbolic. The tree is the 00:11:56.110 --> 00:12:01.179 cross. The waters are humanity. When he cast 00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:03.080 it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.299 There he made a statue. Isn't this interesting? 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.940 There he made a statue and an ordinance for them. 00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:10.419 And there he tested them, saying, If you diligently 00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:12.480 heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.200 is right in his sight, give ear to his commandments 00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.600 and keep his statutes, I will put none of the 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.539 diseases. That's a little bit odd right there 00:12:18.539 --> 00:12:21.580 because the word put means permit. God's not 00:12:21.580 --> 00:12:24.039 in the putting of any disease on anybody because 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:25.960 God doesn't have disease to put on somebody. 00:12:27.620 --> 00:12:30.750 Huh? Jesus was anointed of the Holy Ghost and 00:12:30.750 --> 00:12:32.409 power who went about doing good and healing all 00:12:32.409 --> 00:12:35.669 who were oppressed of the... There you go. Amen. 00:12:36.210 --> 00:12:38.409 Oral Roberts years ago got in trouble because 00:12:38.409 --> 00:12:40.330 he said God's a good God and the devil's a bad 00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:42.750 devil. Can you think of that? That people actually 00:12:42.750 --> 00:12:44.909 hated him for that because he made a distinction. 00:12:48.599 --> 00:12:51.000 Today, erasers are being handed out to our kids 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.399 at the local schools so that they can erase every 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.100 line that seems to, in some way, impinge upon 00:12:56.100 --> 00:13:01.539 their idea of what makes them feel good. And 00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:03.179 that's why we're losing the generation, because 00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:05.240 what is is what is, and what's not is what's 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.720 not. And we've got to have clear lines of definition. 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:11.139 Well, that makes me feel bad. You need to so 00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:14.639 that you can make a better choice. I'm not going 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.679 to give you a pink ribbon. Pink ribbons don't 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.080 exist. We only have a blue one and a red one 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.580 and then maybe a white or yellow one. First, 00:13:24.740 --> 00:13:26.539 second, and third. And if you don't get on the 00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:29.019 team, then you can make a decision whether you 00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:32.700 want to work harder. Because if you make a better 00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:35.299 choice, then you'll have a better outcome. Well, 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:37.100 that doesn't make people feel good. That's the 00:13:37.100 --> 00:13:46.899 idea. Find something that you can do where you 00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:56.159 enjoy it and excel. I was just looking at some 00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.340 of you and I'm thinking, wow. Praise the Lord. 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:00.840 So he cried out to the Lord. The Lord showed 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.700 him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.179 the waters were made sweet. He makes this ordinance. 00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:07.899 And he says, I will permit none of the diseases 00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:09.960 upon you which I have brought upon the Egyptians, 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:13.899 for I am the Lord who heals you, Jehovah Rapha. 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:16.879 Now, just get this with me for a second. When 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:23.200 the word Jehovah is used to describe a part of 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.259 God's character and his desire to help humanity, 00:14:27.299 --> 00:14:30.379 the word Jehovah is used because that word right 00:14:30.379 --> 00:14:33.019 there shows you that he's going to put on a demonstration. 00:14:35.850 --> 00:14:38.330 The self -existent one who now reveals himself, 00:14:38.549 --> 00:14:43.929 reveal, manifest, shows you. God's showing up. 00:14:44.090 --> 00:14:47.269 God doesn't play, listen closely, hide and go 00:14:47.269 --> 00:14:51.610 seek. If he did, we'd never find him. Right? 00:14:52.649 --> 00:14:56.330 No. God plays show and tell. Hey, hey, hey. And 00:14:56.330 --> 00:15:01.250 we go, oh, oh my Lord. You're amazing. Did you 00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:03.830 see that? We'll tell somebody else to see. Now 00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:06.370 God's doing exactly what he wants. We're telling 00:15:06.370 --> 00:15:08.210 other people about it. And the more we tell people 00:15:08.210 --> 00:15:09.750 about it, the more it goes, the Lord will tap 00:15:09.750 --> 00:15:10.990 you on the shoulder and go, hey, look at this. 00:15:11.009 --> 00:15:14.029 And we go, oh my goodness. See, throughout all 00:15:14.029 --> 00:15:17.029 the eons that we are in heaven, God's going to 00:15:17.029 --> 00:15:22.029 put on another show, show, show, another show 00:15:22.029 --> 00:15:24.730 of his loving kindness in Christ toward us in 00:15:24.730 --> 00:15:28.990 Christ Jesus. And he's never going to run out. 00:15:29.049 --> 00:15:32.090 We're always going to be so blessed that I'm 00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:35.009 not even going to wear socks in heaven. Because 00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:37.250 they just keep getting blown away. You know what 00:15:37.250 --> 00:15:39.570 I mean? Blow my socks off. There they go again. 00:15:40.029 --> 00:15:45.169 Why wear them? Right? God just is amazing. And 00:15:45.169 --> 00:15:47.470 that he's amazing. He certainly can't outdo. 00:15:47.529 --> 00:15:51.250 He did it. He outdid yesterday already. And it's 00:15:51.250 --> 00:15:53.889 only seven o 'clock in the morning. What a day. 00:15:56.460 --> 00:15:58.879 Now this is who God is. He's always wanting to 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:05.080 show you. Jehovah Rapha. So he's showing or demonstrating 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.320 that he is their healer. Let me ask you a question 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:14.419 here. What did he heal? Because he didn't heal 00:16:14.419 --> 00:16:28.379 anybody. Huh? What did he heal? The water. He 00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.820 demonstrated he's the healer and they'll never 00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:35.639 have to have disease. And he healed the water 00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:43.600 and didn't heal the people. Hmm. How come he 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:49.279 didn't heal the people? Because they weren't 00:16:49.279 --> 00:17:02.519 sick. We sometimes forget Psalm 105, 37. He also 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.519 brought them out with silver and gold and there 00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:09.519 were none feeble among his tribes. What came 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:14.400 before them being brought out and there were 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:18.819 none feeble among their tribes? The blood that 00:17:18.819 --> 00:17:23.339 was required to go over the door and down the 00:17:23.339 --> 00:17:26.799 sides. And the death angel passed through. And 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.680 when he saw the blood, he passed on by. Do you 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:33.099 know why he passed on by? It wasn't just because 00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:38.759 he saw the blood. The blood and the glory work 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:43.400 together. Can't have one without the other. The 00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.180 blood and the glory. See, the blood made the 00:17:47.180 --> 00:17:51.329 way for the glory to come in. When that death 00:17:51.329 --> 00:17:53.490 angel walked, he was looking at somebody else 00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:55.289 looking at him and he walked right by because 00:17:55.289 --> 00:17:58.630 who was looking at him was the glory, the Holy 00:17:58.630 --> 00:18:03.190 Ghost. Now think about this. One night sleeping 00:18:03.190 --> 00:18:08.569 with the Holy Ghost and they all came out perfectly 00:18:08.569 --> 00:18:17.150 healed. One night. Come on, they've been working 00:18:17.150 --> 00:18:19.430 in their minds. They're bent over, arthritis. 00:18:20.190 --> 00:18:22.230 There's tumors. There's gross. There's blindness. 00:18:22.529 --> 00:18:26.509 There's deafness. There's hands can't move. Legs 00:18:26.509 --> 00:18:29.930 can't move. Maybe there's been amputations. One 00:18:29.930 --> 00:18:33.369 night with the Holy Ghost being invited to sleep 00:18:33.369 --> 00:18:35.569 with them. And then all of a sudden, you know, 00:18:35.609 --> 00:18:39.430 Ned, he goes, well, honey, it's going to be really 00:18:39.430 --> 00:18:43.910 good. And he goes, whoa. Whoa, did you see that? 00:18:44.069 --> 00:18:51.220 And she said, yeah, I can actually see you. and 00:18:51.220 --> 00:18:55.920 they all came out healed. And then the strangest 00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.039 thing happened also is God was upon them to the 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:05.500 degree that they became money magnets. And Pharaoh 00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:08.599 did the dumbest thing he's ever done. But when 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.299 the glory's in operation, the devil does really 00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:16.099 dumb things. And Pharaoh said, give them all 00:19:16.099 --> 00:19:18.480 your gold. What? Give them all your, are you 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.900 sure? Give them all your gold. And so everybody 00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:24.779 that was Egyptian just came and gave them gold. 00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:30.240 And they came out healthy enough to drag it through 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:37.599 the wilderness. And the reason why Pharaoh came 00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.579 after him is because for a few days he was eating 00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:47.869 on paper plates. And he said. Where's my gold 00:19:47.869 --> 00:19:51.329 plates? And his chief, you know, said, well, 00:19:51.390 --> 00:19:54.769 you told us to give it to. I would never. I didn't 00:19:54.769 --> 00:19:57.589 tell. Yes, you did. You made a decree. Here it 00:19:57.589 --> 00:20:00.210 is. And there's your ring right there. Give them 00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:06.269 all your gold. Why would I do that? So Pharaoh 00:20:06.269 --> 00:20:11.109 comes after him. If you listen to the theologians, 00:20:11.170 --> 00:20:13.710 it wasn't really a big miracle going through 00:20:13.710 --> 00:20:16.150 the Red Sea because they found a place where 00:20:16.150 --> 00:20:17.930 they really crossed, which was only two feet 00:20:17.930 --> 00:20:22.650 deep. And that's a greater miracle because Pharaoh's 00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:28.869 whole army drowned in two feet of water. You 00:20:28.869 --> 00:20:33.289 can't make this stuff up, folks. It's a whole 00:20:33.289 --> 00:20:35.250 lot better to just say, Lord, that's actually 00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:37.890 true, than to try to use your brain to figure 00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:43.029 this out. Now, this is amazing what happened 00:20:43.029 --> 00:20:46.250 here because the water and the condition that 00:20:46.250 --> 00:20:53.529 it was in would have made them sick. Because 00:20:53.529 --> 00:20:57.029 they weren't sick, which represents redemption, 00:20:57.250 --> 00:21:03.319 the healing covenant is about keeping you in 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.380 divine health by making sure that there's nothing 00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:10.200 that can come against you that would ever make 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:15.240 you sick. Now, this is important because I either 00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.259 have the football or I'm trying to get the football. 00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:21.779 And the church is always trying to get the football 00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:24.819 that doesn't seem to be in the right. But if 00:21:24.819 --> 00:21:26.940 you have the football, you can do whatever you 00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:29.099 need to say, devil, look at you. You can't touch 00:21:29.099 --> 00:21:33.500 me. Because you've got it. But we're always trying 00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:35.779 to get it. And if you're always trying to get 00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:39.359 what he released and gave you, then to the degree 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:42.720 you try harder, you actually tell him that he 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:58.460 didn't do what he did. I'm probably 42 or something. 00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:02.400 Standing in the bedroom with my wife and all 00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.779 of a sudden my bowels perforated, heard a snap 00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:10.680 on the inside of my body. Pain like I've never 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:13.680 had before and I was pretty good with pain. Boom, 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:16.599 I hit the floor. She's looking at me on the floor. 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:25.509 Something serious has just happened. My lightning 00:22:25.509 --> 00:22:27.529 brain went real fast and said, can't go to the 00:22:27.529 --> 00:22:28.789 doctor because they don't have insurance and 00:22:28.789 --> 00:22:30.269 they're going to take all our money. And then 00:22:30.269 --> 00:22:31.910 I rethought that and thought, we don't have really 00:22:31.910 --> 00:22:37.210 much to take, but they'll still take it. And 00:22:37.210 --> 00:22:39.569 then my brain looked at her and she's always 00:22:39.569 --> 00:22:42.150 been very, very beautiful and still is. And I 00:22:42.150 --> 00:22:43.529 looked at her and said, well, if I die right 00:22:43.529 --> 00:22:46.089 now, somebody for sure is going to marry her 00:22:46.089 --> 00:22:57.839 and that's going to bring me back. So it's better 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:05.519 that I stay. And so I said to her, get me up 00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:10.619 in the bed. I'm not dying. And then for two weeks, 00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.819 I did everything. Because see, default, default. 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.180 I did everything I preached against. I'm trying 00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.119 to figure out where did I miss it? How could 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:24.920 this have happened? Who did I offend? Did I not 00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:27.359 walk in love? Called people up, would you forgive 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.500 me? They're like, forgive you for what? I'm doing 00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:32.759 all these things because see, it has to be something 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:38.400 that I did. Because I accepted the problem, now 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.859 I'm trying to get out of it. Isn't that interesting? 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.380 Why would you open the door and let someone in 00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:47.579 if you have the ability to keep it closed? I'm 00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:52.619 over in Nigeria. I check in at this Hilton. I 00:23:52.619 --> 00:23:56.140 walk up to my room, go into my room, and within 00:23:56.140 --> 00:23:59.359 five minutes, a prostitute's at my door, knocking 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.480 on the door, say, hey, I want to come in. I want 00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:07.000 to come in. And I said, get out of here. She 00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:10.779 said, I want to come in. I said, go. Never opened 00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:12.940 the door. And all of a sudden, she left. I marched 00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:15.440 right downstairs, got the manager. I said, who 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:27.349 told her my room? owed her my room number. That 00:24:27.349 --> 00:24:34.410 so ticked me off. One of you making money off 00:24:34.410 --> 00:24:45.109 of her as she sleeps around with people. It's 00:24:45.109 --> 00:24:52.359 better just not to open the door. need to see 00:24:52.359 --> 00:25:00.420 what she looked like to tell her to leave. I'm 00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:05.319 just saying in the world, we're smart. But the 00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:07.119 moment we step into a building that's called 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:15.140 a church, we go, duh. And we lose all sense of 00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:28.609 just being us. Sorry. I know I'm messing with 00:25:28.609 --> 00:25:32.509 you. But we're not seeing things like he wants 00:25:32.509 --> 00:25:35.930 us to see them. Come on, I got another one. I 00:25:35.930 --> 00:25:37.890 can't stay here. I got another one. I gotta go 00:25:37.890 --> 00:25:43.170 a little further. Come on over now to Deuteronomy 00:25:43.170 --> 00:25:47.549 chapter 28. You're gonna love this one. Because 00:25:47.549 --> 00:25:50.650 you know, Jesus became a curse for us. Curses 00:25:50.650 --> 00:25:52.490 everyone that hangs upon the tree that the blessings 00:25:52.490 --> 00:25:54.589 of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ. 00:25:55.150 --> 00:25:57.089 And we preach about the blessings of Abraham. 00:25:57.130 --> 00:25:59.349 Praise the Lord that I am healed because I've 00:25:59.349 --> 00:26:02.630 got the blessings of Abraham. Amen. But I want 00:26:02.630 --> 00:26:07.950 to show you something here too. I want to end 00:26:07.950 --> 00:26:11.769 in your mindset right here this morning that 00:26:11.769 --> 00:26:13.950 in any way, shape or form, you're the problem. 00:26:18.699 --> 00:26:20.759 Because if you're not the problem and there's 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:23.319 nothing between you and God, you can come get 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.359 your healing and you can walk into the rest of 00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:30.460 your life. You gotta figure, if this thing's 00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:32.880 difficult in any way, shape, or form, the devil's 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:35.500 got his hand in this thing. Messing this up, 00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:37.579 twisting our brains, making us think something 00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:39.519 that it's not so that it becomes a difficult 00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.980 scenario. Remember I talked to you about finding 00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:43.619 God? Some people say, I never heard God's voice. 00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:46.500 Yes, you have. Well, not that I know. I said, 00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.440 the only reason why you talk like that is because 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:50.660 you got the volume of what you've been listening 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:53.819 to so high that you're not hearing that he's 00:26:53.819 --> 00:26:57.640 actually been talking to you. Well, I'd like 00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.140 to really feel the presence of God. Well, then 00:27:00.140 --> 00:27:03.299 stop feeling the presence of what you feel that 00:27:03.299 --> 00:27:11.279 makes you feel what you feel. See, it's pulling 00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.759 back from this world that immediately catapults 00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:17.940 you to Christ. What he did, he really did. If 00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:19.779 we're not experiencing it, it's because we're 00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:21.440 overshadowed. There's a verse of scripture in 00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:23.200 the Passion Translation of Romans chapter 1, 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.539 verses 18, 19, and then through the rest of the 00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:28.380 verses, it says, the wickedness of humanity deliberately 00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:31.539 smothers the truth to keep you from acknowledging 00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:34.839 the truth about God. Now, truth means reality. 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.660 Aletheia, reality. So the wickedness of humanity 00:27:39.660 --> 00:27:43.220 deliberately smothers what's real So that you 00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:45.319 don't acknowledge what's real. Because the moment 00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.680 you acknowledge what's real. You empower it in 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:52.480 your life. To overcome and manifest itself. And 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.920 the devil does not want you manifesting the power 00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:58.500 of truth. Because then that shows his lie. So 00:27:58.500 --> 00:28:01.380 deliberately the world is set up to smother. 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.059 To hide what's real. So that you continue to 00:28:06.059 --> 00:28:09.299 walk in an illusion. Which is a misrepresentation 00:28:09.299 --> 00:28:16.440 of reality. So the question, you've heard Tony 00:28:16.440 --> 00:28:18.380 use this question too. I use it a lot. What's 00:28:18.380 --> 00:28:21.819 reality? Because maybe it's not what you think 00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:25.960 it is. Amen. And to actually walk in it and experience 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:27.440 it, you're going to have to do that by faith. 00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:30.220 In other words, when you take your first step, 00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.220 it is not going to look good. It is not going 00:28:32.220 --> 00:28:33.720 to look like it's going to work. You're going 00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:35.000 to look like you're going under. You're going 00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.900 to look like you die. But you know what? You 00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:44.259 bet the farm on Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:47.279 That's just an exciting life to me. That gets 00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:49.619 my juices going. Where can I go ahead and step 00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:56.460 out where it looks like I'm going under? Dare 00:28:56.460 --> 00:29:01.819 to live or die. Well, real quickly, in that testimony, 00:29:02.099 --> 00:29:05.299 two weeks of doing all that religious stuff, 00:29:05.460 --> 00:29:08.660 my body whittled down from where it is right 00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:12.789 now to about 130 pounds. Couldn't look at myself 00:29:12.789 --> 00:29:14.430 in the mirror. Didn't have any muscle left on 00:29:14.430 --> 00:29:17.829 my body. Eyes sunk back into my head. Looked 00:29:17.829 --> 00:29:20.069 a little jaundiced. It was pretty sad, pretty 00:29:20.069 --> 00:29:23.609 pathetic. So I canceled all my meetings except 00:29:23.609 --> 00:29:25.990 one. I didn't know that I didn't cancel it. And 00:29:25.990 --> 00:29:28.490 here it is Thursday. Friday's coming. And then 00:29:28.490 --> 00:29:31.509 Saturday, I'm going to Sacramento to preach Sunday 00:29:31.509 --> 00:29:33.450 morning, twice in the morning, Sunday night, 00:29:33.569 --> 00:29:35.369 Monday morning, Monday night, Tuesday morning, 00:29:35.490 --> 00:29:37.630 Tuesday night, fly to Milwaukee, do a Wednesday 00:29:37.630 --> 00:29:39.230 night service, then fly back home on Thursday. 00:29:40.780 --> 00:29:44.839 And I'm like 130 pounds. So three o 'clock in 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:46.920 the morning, Friday morning, I went out into 00:29:46.920 --> 00:29:50.460 a chair and I sat there and I said, Lord, I want 00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:52.480 to apologize and ask you to forgive me for one 00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.779 thing. I've been making it look like you didn't 00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:57.400 do what you actually said you did. I said, so 00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:59.380 from this moment, you and I don't have to talk 00:29:59.380 --> 00:30:01.259 about healing when I'm already healed. Why would 00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:03.460 I talk to you about it? Thank you very much. 00:30:03.579 --> 00:30:05.240 And now I'm going to make myself a milkshake 00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:07.359 because Erin was, you know, doing all she could, 00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:09.480 you know, in this earthly realm with all this 00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:11.539 kind of stuff she was feeding me. And there was 00:30:11.539 --> 00:30:15.599 this kind of like greenish, you know, porridge 00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:17.720 type stuff or whatever. At least that looked 00:30:17.720 --> 00:30:20.819 that way to me. And it was disgusting. And even 00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:23.279 at one moment I said, here, you take, I'm not 00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:28.319 taking that. So at three o 'clock in the morning, 00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:29.859 I made myself a chocolate milkshake and just 00:30:29.859 --> 00:30:31.660 drank it. And I said, oh, this is so good. It's 00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:33.380 so wonderful to be healthy. Woke up the next 00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:37.339 morning, did not feel any better. Saturday comes, 00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:40.500 I got myself ready. Aaron had to help me get 00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:43.039 my luggage into the car and my golf clubs into 00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.859 the car and get them out. And I left holding 00:30:45.859 --> 00:30:47.500 them. I couldn't walk straight. And I walked 00:30:47.500 --> 00:30:50.900 into the airport like this, like an old man at 00:30:50.900 --> 00:30:54.900 about 40 years of age, 42 years of age. When 00:30:54.900 --> 00:30:56.279 the pastor saw me, he looked at me and said, 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:58.579 oh, dear God, what happened? Because he knew 00:30:58.579 --> 00:31:01.019 I was an athlete. And he said, I told him what 00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:02.460 happened. He said, I'll be preaching for you. 00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:04.200 You just take a rest here. This is a vacation. 00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.759 I said, if you do the preaching, you'll send 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.680 me home in a six -foot pine box. Praise the Lord. 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:16.500 That's right. Amen. And so I did the preaching. 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:19.799 And the first service was a little rough. And 00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:22.000 he came out and he said, you're a little edgy. 00:31:22.349 --> 00:31:23.910 I said, yeah, if you felt like I felt, you'd 00:31:23.910 --> 00:31:29.430 be a little edgy too. And some of you are saying 00:31:29.430 --> 00:31:37.049 you were more edgy than you are right now. Well, 00:31:37.150 --> 00:31:42.970 this edgy comes with years. When you get a certain 00:31:42.970 --> 00:31:49.109 age, you start thinking, you know, I'm just going 00:31:49.109 --> 00:31:52.720 to be me. Do you know what I mean? You start. 00:31:52.900 --> 00:31:56.980 So this is a different edgy. So anyhow, I preached 00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:59.960 the next service. I was a little nicer. That 00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:02.359 afternoon, went home or went back to the hotel. 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:04.579 Aaron wasn't there at the time. Went back to 00:32:04.579 --> 00:32:08.279 the hotel. And my body, as far as how it worked 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.200 in the bathroom, worked normal. Now, you probably 00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.119 don't do something like this, glory, and run 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:17.859 around the room when you come out of the bathroom. 00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:23.579 But I did. because my bowels had perforated. 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.539 And that night, I got so happy I ran around the 00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:32.559 room. The only thing that discouraged me was 00:32:32.559 --> 00:32:34.859 I was so slow that Grandma lapped me three times. 00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:38.359 There she goes again. Am I going that slow? There 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:43.240 she goes again. Wow, I guess I am. And I went 00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:47.339 back home 25 pounds heavier in just three days 00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:51.259 as God began to build my body back up. But I 00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:53.839 had to make what? The distinction between what 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.039 was real and what wasn't real. And that's when 00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.640 things started working. Come on, stay with me. 00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:02.940 All right, listen to this. This is amazing because 00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:07.460 the first 14 verses are the blessings of Abraham. 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:12.140 And verse 15 through verse 61. Get this, listen 00:33:12.140 --> 00:33:15.880 to this. Verse 15 through 61. You will be depressed 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.329 if you read those verses. Because starting in 00:33:21.329 --> 00:33:24.410 verse 15 to 61 are the curses and the curses 00:33:24.410 --> 00:33:26.930 are nothing but every single sickness and disease 00:33:26.930 --> 00:33:30.529 you could ever get. And the writer goes on to 00:33:30.529 --> 00:33:32.710 say at the very end, and if I missed anything, 00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:39.230 well, you're going to get that too. Okay? So 00:33:39.230 --> 00:33:41.069 I just wanted to read this for you. Start in 00:33:41.069 --> 00:33:42.569 verse one. Now it's going to pass you diligently 00:33:42.569 --> 00:33:44.769 obey. I'm going to read fast. The voice of the 00:33:44.769 --> 00:33:46.829 Lord your God to observe carefully all his commands, 00:33:46.950 --> 00:33:48.490 which I command you today, that the Lord your 00:33:48.490 --> 00:33:50.470 God will set you on high above all nations of 00:33:50.470 --> 00:33:52.390 the earth. And all these blessings shall come 00:33:52.390 --> 00:33:54.089 upon you and overtake you because you obey the 00:33:54.089 --> 00:33:56.140 voice of the Lord your God. Blessed shall you 00:33:56.140 --> 00:33:57.779 be in the city. Blessed shall you be in the country. 00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.359 Blessed shall you be the fruit of the body, the 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.160 produce of the ground, the increase of your herds, 00:34:01.160 --> 00:34:03.059 the increase of your cattle, the offspring of 00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:04.980 your flocks. Blessed shall you be in your basket, 00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:06.759 in your kneading bowl. Blessed shall you be when 00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:08.300 you come in and when you go out. The Lord shall 00:34:08.300 --> 00:34:10.579 cause your enemy to rise against you to be defeated 00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:12.219 before your face. They'll come against you one 00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:14.179 way. They'll flee before you seven ways. The 00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:16.059 Lord will command the blessing on you and your 00:34:16.059 --> 00:34:17.940 storehouse and all to which you set your hand. 00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:20.460 He will bless you in the land of which your Lord 00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:22.400 has given you. The Lord will establish you as 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.360 a holy people to himself just as he swore to 00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:26.489 you. If you keep the commandments of the Lord 00:34:26.489 --> 00:34:28.389 your God and walk in his ways, then all the peoples 00:34:28.389 --> 00:34:30.449 of the earth shall see that you are called by 00:34:30.449 --> 00:34:31.949 the name of the Lord and they shall be afraid 00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:34.230 of you. And the Lord will grant you plenty of 00:34:34.230 --> 00:34:35.829 goods in the fruit of your body and the increase 00:34:35.829 --> 00:34:38.090 of your livestock in the produce of the ground 00:34:38.090 --> 00:34:39.670 and the land in which the Lord swore to your 00:34:39.670 --> 00:34:41.610 fathers to give you. The Lord will open to you 00:34:41.610 --> 00:34:43.489 as good treasure the heavens to give rain in 00:34:43.489 --> 00:34:45.170 the land in the season to bless all the work 00:34:45.170 --> 00:34:47.210 of your hand. You'll lend to many nations, but 00:34:47.210 --> 00:34:48.650 you'll not borrow. The Lord will make you the 00:34:48.650 --> 00:34:50.809 head, not the tail, above and only and not beneath. 00:34:50.949 --> 00:34:52.449 And you'll heed the commandments of the Lord 00:34:52.449 --> 00:34:54.150 your God, which I command you today in our... 00:34:54.190 --> 00:34:56.510 careful to observe them. You shall not turn aside 00:34:56.510 --> 00:34:58.130 from any of the words which I command you this 00:34:58.130 --> 00:35:00.530 day to the right or to the left to go after other 00:35:00.530 --> 00:35:06.269 gods before me. It does not mention you getting 00:35:06.269 --> 00:35:17.909 healed. There's no blessing of healing in the 00:35:17.909 --> 00:35:23.280 blessings. But you start verse 15 and it's nothing 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:34.079 but sickness. What did God heal? The water. Because 00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:39.380 the people were already healed. Maybe God sees 00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:43.619 something we're not seeing. Maybe these bodies 00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:52.239 aren't as fragile as we think they are. Maybe 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.820 we've bought into a lie. Because, you know, you 00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:57.579 think about it. Adam and Eve coming out of the 00:35:57.579 --> 00:36:05.280 garden. There was a first pain. And if it happened 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.659 to be Eve, you know, catching her hip on a counter. 00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:09.679 Because, you know, they hadn't cooked before. 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:14.780 That counter probably had edges on it. She's 00:36:14.780 --> 00:36:16.880 trying to keep from burning the water that's 00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.539 boiling, you know. I mean, they're figuring this 00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:22.199 out. And she hits her hip. And all of a sudden 00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:24.820 she says, ow. She limps a little bit and Adam 00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:29.960 says, what? What'd you say? She said, I said, 00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.219 ow. Why'd you say it? She said, because it hurts. 00:36:33.739 --> 00:36:36.280 Now, Adam doesn't know what ow is and he does 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.159 not know what hurt is because he hadn't hit his 00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:41.239 hip yet. But we know Adam's not the smartest 00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:46.420 knife in the drawer. I mean, he is, but he isn't, 00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:50.329 you know. So Adam is like, well, I want to know 00:36:50.329 --> 00:36:51.710 what that feels like. So he goes over and just, 00:36:51.769 --> 00:36:56.530 and you know, a guy ain't as good with pain as 00:36:56.530 --> 00:37:02.170 a woman is. So he goes, ow, ow, ow, ow. She said, 00:37:02.190 --> 00:37:05.449 I told you. She said, it hurts. And she said, 00:37:05.469 --> 00:37:08.130 that's what I said. And all of a sudden he looks 00:37:08.130 --> 00:37:10.929 at hers and hers is kind of purplish and kind 00:37:10.929 --> 00:37:13.630 of bluish. Whoa. And he looks at his and his 00:37:13.630 --> 00:37:16.150 is a little bit pinkish and a little bit yellowish. 00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:18.039 And those are the first tattoos. There you go. 00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:28.539 Now, I say that because that's a first. We have 00:37:28.539 --> 00:37:33.579 so accepted the idea of pain. That now we carry 00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:36.679 things in our pockets and purses and have them 00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:39.019 in our medicine cabinets and stuff them in our 00:37:39.019 --> 00:37:42.559 cars. In case we have a pain, we can take something 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:44.960 to mask the pain. And isn't it interesting how 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.059 much faith we have in it that we'll actually 00:37:47.059 --> 00:37:49.480 head to a meeting while our head is pounding, 00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.260 knowing that we've taken four or five of these 00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:54.920 ibuprofen, that sooner or later before we get 00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:56.920 to the meeting, we will feel better to be able 00:37:56.920 --> 00:38:00.900 to function somewhat normally. But taking the 00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:06.000 anointing and the presence of God, we seem to 00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:11.920 have no skill set. And yet we actually do. Maybe 00:38:11.920 --> 00:38:18.599 the reason why there's so much sickness is because 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:27.099 of Jacob's experiment with the sheep and the 00:38:27.099 --> 00:38:33.949 goats. What do you mean? Well, you know, his 00:38:33.949 --> 00:38:38.969 father -in -law was a real doozy. Can you imagine 00:38:38.969 --> 00:38:41.670 working seven years and that beautiful bride 00:38:41.670 --> 00:38:43.389 you're gonna look at and you take that veil off, 00:38:43.469 --> 00:38:49.309 ah, that's his sister. That sister's a little 00:38:49.309 --> 00:38:50.670 different. She got a mustache, you know what 00:38:50.670 --> 00:38:57.869 I'm saying? I put my foot in my mouth so many 00:38:57.869 --> 00:39:04.300 times. There's this, with a mustache right back 00:39:04.300 --> 00:39:09.179 there. And they raised their hand and said, sir, 00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:12.019 so what do you need? She said, I'm not a sir. 00:39:12.500 --> 00:39:15.719 I'm a woman. And I thought, well, you shaved 00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:33.190 that thing. That helped a little bit. I walked 00:39:33.190 --> 00:39:35.250 up to this couple and I said, this is such a 00:39:35.250 --> 00:39:36.949 wonderful couple. The guy looks at me and says, 00:39:37.030 --> 00:39:40.949 it's my mother. I looked to the mother, you know, 00:39:40.949 --> 00:39:43.530 because I'm working real fast to fix this. I 00:39:43.530 --> 00:39:44.590 looked to the mother and said, wasn't that an 00:39:44.590 --> 00:39:47.769 amazing compliment? She goes, that was very nice. 00:39:47.889 --> 00:39:51.670 I said, thank you. You got to get yourself out 00:39:51.670 --> 00:39:53.349 when you get yourself in. See what I'm saying? 00:39:53.690 --> 00:40:02.760 You got to be good at both. There's no healing 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:11.139 in the blessing. Why? What are the conditions 00:40:11.139 --> 00:40:16.699 to these covenants working? What are the conditions? 00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:22.440 The sheep and the goats, thank you. Jacob, what 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:27.079 did he do? Well, you know, the prize animals 00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.789 were the clear -coated. not the speckled and 00:40:30.789 --> 00:40:35.449 spotted. So Jacob, without a word of the Lord 00:40:35.449 --> 00:40:39.929 coming to him, figured something out. I can completely 00:40:39.929 --> 00:40:43.469 change this flock. If I'll bring the spotted, 00:40:43.610 --> 00:40:47.190 if I bring the clear -coated sheep that are the 00:40:47.190 --> 00:40:51.429 strongest, when they're in mating, when they're 00:40:51.429 --> 00:40:55.469 in the season to mate. Now, don't get weird with 00:40:55.469 --> 00:40:58.719 me, okay? I'm not trying to get... weird with 00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:03.199 you. But the idea that they're in a season of 00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:07.480 mating, you know, like you don't mess or get 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:11.039 around deer when they're in the rut. Because 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:14.780 those bucks are not thinking straight. And if 00:41:14.780 --> 00:41:17.199 they see you, even though you ain't going after, 00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:20.559 you know, his honey, you see? But he looks at 00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.800 you as a competitor when his mind ain't thinking 00:41:22.800 --> 00:41:25.139 right. Because he ain't thinking with, he's not 00:41:25.139 --> 00:41:29.309 thinking up here. I stopped. I stopped. Amen. 00:41:29.369 --> 00:41:35.409 I just left it up here. You're not thinking here. 00:41:38.449 --> 00:41:40.050 Now, I'm not trying to get weird here, but I'm 00:41:40.050 --> 00:41:44.210 saying there is emotion and there is passion. 00:41:44.289 --> 00:41:47.730 See, what you're passionate about, what you get 00:41:47.730 --> 00:41:52.530 emotional about will move you. And if you're 00:41:52.530 --> 00:41:54.710 being moved by Jesus, you're being moved by something 00:41:54.710 --> 00:41:57.360 else. So you got to guard your affections. Why? 00:41:57.440 --> 00:41:59.539 Because your affections affect all that you are. 00:41:59.699 --> 00:42:02.320 That's the passion translation of Proverbs 4, 00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:08.139 verse 20, 24. So he knew when to do his little 00:42:08.139 --> 00:42:10.460 experiment, when there's a little heat, when 00:42:10.460 --> 00:42:11.980 there's a little passion, when there's a little 00:42:11.980 --> 00:42:15.579 bit of movement. And what did he do? He put poplar 00:42:15.579 --> 00:42:20.179 branches in the trough so that when they're in 00:42:20.179 --> 00:42:23.809 heat, And being mated, they're actually looking 00:42:23.809 --> 00:42:27.070 at themselves through a reflection of being spotted 00:42:27.070 --> 00:42:30.010 and speckled. And they gave birth to spotted 00:42:30.010 --> 00:42:36.989 and speckled sheep. If it can work for them, 00:42:37.150 --> 00:42:43.210 then 75 plus percent of the commercials that 00:42:43.210 --> 00:42:48.130 you look at are about drugs reminding you that 00:42:48.130 --> 00:42:52.119 you're sick. And this is a society that is literally 00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:56.519 on drugs. 5 % of the world's population consuming 00:42:56.519 --> 00:43:01.840 more than 75 % of the world's medicine. We have 00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:04.579 already bought into the idea here in America, 00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.500 I'm sick, just give me some pills. Instead of, 00:43:08.500 --> 00:43:11.079 I refuse to accept that. There's no reason for 00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.119 me to be sick. Do you know what really works 00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:15.380 well with people? When sickness comes on and 00:43:15.380 --> 00:43:17.019 they say something like, I don't have time for 00:43:17.019 --> 00:43:19.139 this. Guess what? Those people don't end up being 00:43:19.139 --> 00:43:22.300 sick. Just because they don't accept it. I don't 00:43:22.300 --> 00:43:24.219 have time for this. I've got too much on my plate. 00:43:24.300 --> 00:43:26.739 I can't be sick. I'm going to work anyhow. Boom, 00:43:26.840 --> 00:43:31.360 it'll leave. But the moment you accept it, the 00:43:31.360 --> 00:43:36.880 moment you buy into it. Jesus actually thinks 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.079 he did a good job. He actually took the infirmity, 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:41.579 bore the sickness, and with his stripes, you 00:43:41.579 --> 00:43:44.320 actually are healed. But we're the ones that 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.980 believe in the sickness. Not meaning this wrong, 00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:51.920 but you wear pink in October. Now, when I was 00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:53.960 growing up, pink wasn't a color that a guy wore. 00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:56.960 And if you wore it at the wrong time with the 00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:04.219 wrong guys, boom! Now it's acceptable to wear. 00:44:07.179 --> 00:44:09.199 How come people wear pink? How come football 00:44:09.199 --> 00:44:13.360 players wear pink? Because we are honoring those 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.380 women who have had breast cancer. It's the wrong 00:44:17.380 --> 00:44:22.019 way to honor them. Because the more you look 00:44:22.019 --> 00:44:24.460 at the pink and you think of the breast cancer, 00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:27.739 the more you now are creating more breast cancer. 00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.380 If we could get everybody to wear in October 00:44:32.380 --> 00:44:35.099 crimson red shirts and remind yourself of the 00:44:35.099 --> 00:44:37.420 blood of Jesus that has cleansed us from all 00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:41.400 sickness and disease, we could clear out hospitals 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:46.820 without even having to go to them. Listen, we've 00:44:46.820 --> 00:44:48.760 been made in the image and likeness of God, and 00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:54.920 it's a good thing, but it's a bad thing. Having 00:44:54.920 --> 00:44:56.940 a shotgun ready to shoot at a deer when your 00:44:56.940 --> 00:44:58.860 family doesn't have any food and it's 15 feet 00:44:58.860 --> 00:45:00.079 away and you're going to kill it and you're going 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:02.519 to be able to eat and keep your family alive 00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:04.900 is a good thing. But having that shotgun in the 00:45:04.900 --> 00:45:06.579 hands of a four -year -old pointed at a two -year 00:45:06.579 --> 00:45:09.380 -old is a bad thing. See, depending on what you 00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:11.320 do with you being made an image that likes God, 00:45:11.460 --> 00:45:12.880 if you point into the wrong direction, you'll 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:14.699 create the wrong thing. If you don't like where 00:45:14.699 --> 00:45:16.320 you're at today, go back to checking up on what 00:45:16.320 --> 00:45:17.760 you've been believing and what you've been speaking 00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:24.360 because you created it yourself. We've got all 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:26.320 the ammo. We've got everything we need. Jesus 00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.300 has already done the work, and we're still trying 00:45:28.300 --> 00:45:29.719 to get something that he's already gotten us. 00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:35.679 Now, I ask you again as we close this thought, 00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:38.099 because you can tell I'm going a mile a minute 00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:42.559 here, and I've got to close. What are the conditions 00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:47.380 to be able to operate in this? Righteousness. 00:45:49.719 --> 00:45:53.300 What? If you diligently obey every single thing 00:45:53.300 --> 00:45:56.780 that's in there and don't vary at all, then this 00:45:56.780 --> 00:46:00.699 will work for you. In both scenarios, righteousness 00:46:00.699 --> 00:46:10.900 is the condition. In other words, when Abram 00:46:10.900 --> 00:46:16.599 believed and God in the passion, it says he transferred 00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:25.119 into Abraham's account. Faith transferred righteousness 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:28.940 into his account. And the promise wasn't fulfilled 00:46:28.940 --> 00:46:31.980 by works, but it was fulfilled by the righteousness 00:46:31.980 --> 00:46:35.119 which was transferred into the account. Now, 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:36.900 let me ask you a question. I'll explain this. 00:46:37.219 --> 00:46:43.840 Does God seamlessly work with himself? It's not 00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:48.420 a trick question. Yes. Why? There's nothing in 00:46:48.420 --> 00:46:51.320 the Father, Son, or Holy Ghost that is contrary 00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:55.739 to one another. There's no tainting of sin, unbelief, 00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:59.440 skepticism, reason, or doubt that could make 00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:03.260 a hang -up in God saying, this is what we're 00:47:03.260 --> 00:47:05.719 going to create. Jesus comes out and speaks it 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:07.440 while the Holy Ghost has already been hovering 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:10.420 upon the face of the earth. Doing what? Preparing 00:47:10.420 --> 00:47:13.219 the soil to manifest the moment Jesus speaks. 00:47:14.339 --> 00:47:17.320 Come on, when Jesus spoke, the Father wasn't 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:19.440 saying for two or three eons, I believe, I receive, 00:47:19.619 --> 00:47:21.320 I believe, I receive, I believe, I receive, I 00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:24.400 believe, I receive. Because the Holy Ghost is 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:26.880 the agent who actually was given to us as the 00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:29.119 first individual personality mentioned in the 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:30.840 scriptures. You would have thought it had been 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:32.400 the Father. You would have thought it had been 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:34.820 Jesus. Guess who it was? The Holy Ghost. And 00:47:34.820 --> 00:47:36.960 he wasn't just mentioned, he was given a description. 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.679 He was hovering. Hovering is to brood. Brood 00:47:40.679 --> 00:47:43.940 is to incubate. Incubate is to provide warmth 00:47:43.940 --> 00:47:46.539 so as to bring a hatching or a manifestation. 00:47:46.980 --> 00:47:49.440 The Holy Ghost is the manifester. And what does 00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:51.639 he do? Well, one thing you know for sure is he's 00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:57.199 never late. He's always early. The quarterback 00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:59.559 doesn't throw a pass to a receiver who's standing 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:02.820 still. He throws a pass to someone who's already 00:48:02.820 --> 00:48:04.980 going to the place where he's going to receive. 00:48:05.610 --> 00:48:08.289 The touchdown. The Holy Ghost is always ahead 00:48:08.289 --> 00:48:10.929 of you, working and manifesting. He's been in 00:48:10.929 --> 00:48:12.849 this room when we sing, come down spirit, come 00:48:12.849 --> 00:48:15.190 down. Yeah, he down, he down, he down, right 00:48:15.190 --> 00:48:17.889 here. Amen. He's here. He's warming up your seat. 00:48:17.929 --> 00:48:20.110 He's warming up the next seat. He's warming you 00:48:20.110 --> 00:48:22.309 up in your mentality and in your thoughts. I 00:48:22.309 --> 00:48:24.230 mean, take God out of the equation and we're 00:48:24.230 --> 00:48:29.579 nothing. We need him in every area of life. And 00:48:29.579 --> 00:48:32.000 the Holy Ghost is here manifesting right now 00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:34.440 in this room. While I'm talking, I'm releasing 00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:38.280 power. I am not preaching to you. I am ministering 00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:47.280 to you. To minister means to dispense. My wife 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:50.119 grew up on a dairy farm. There's a lot of dispensing 00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:55.059 going on on a dairy farm. Good things are dispensed. 00:48:55.679 --> 00:48:57.639 And things you shouldn't step in are dispensed 00:48:57.639 --> 00:49:03.400 to. And when you're in it, you know you're in 00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:14.400 it. To dispense, we can preach a message and 00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.719 just preach a message. Or we can release power 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:19.280 while we're saying what we're saying. What's 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:25.860 the difference? It's what you believe in. What 00:49:25.860 --> 00:49:30.480 are the terms? Righteousness. He who knew no 00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.739 sin, God made to be sin on your behalf that we 00:49:34.739 --> 00:49:39.659 might become or that we might be made the righteousness 00:49:39.659 --> 00:49:42.219 of God in Christ. Do you realize what this covenant 00:49:42.219 --> 00:49:48.539 on this side did? It gave you every key to every 00:49:48.539 --> 00:49:56.019 blessing without you doing a single thing. If 00:49:56.019 --> 00:50:01.239 I'm righteous, I can't be sick. That's why there's 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.719 no need to put in the blessings, a healing. When 00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:08.539 someone's righteous, they cease to be sick. You 00:50:08.539 --> 00:50:10.099 say, this doesn't make sense to you. Yes, it 00:50:10.099 --> 00:50:12.400 does. That's why Jesus said, which is easier, 00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:16.559 to forgive the man's sin or to heal his body, 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:19.059 but that you may know that I am able to forgive 00:50:19.059 --> 00:50:21.280 sin. Take up your bed and walk. In other words, 00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:23.679 they're included in the same package. It's the 00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:29.929 dual redemption. When I'm righteous, the Lord 00:50:29.929 --> 00:50:33.050 goes before me to remove things so that I won't 00:50:33.050 --> 00:50:35.789 ever have to be sick. It's the same work. Let 00:50:35.789 --> 00:50:38.269 me ask you one more question. How did Jesus do 00:50:38.269 --> 00:50:41.090 what Jesus did? You know, that withered hand 00:50:41.090 --> 00:50:42.789 is probably one of the worst withered hands I've 00:50:42.789 --> 00:50:45.090 ever seen in my life. Let's see if we can't get 00:50:45.090 --> 00:50:47.550 that healed. No, what did he say? Stretch your 00:50:47.550 --> 00:50:50.530 hand out. Wait a minute. He didn't say, give 00:50:50.530 --> 00:50:52.730 me your withered hand. He said, stretch your 00:50:52.730 --> 00:50:58.079 hand out. I got a friend. He went home to be 00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:00.360 with the Lord. His name is Buzzy Sutherland. 00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:03.039 Now, there's nobody in Oregon named Buzzy Sutherland. 00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:05.619 There's no one in New York named Buzzy Sutherland. 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:08.440 That's got to be somewhere in the south. It's 00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:11.199 El Dorado, Arkansas. You can't get to El Dorado, 00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:19.059 Arkansas unless you're just lucky. He told me 00:51:19.059 --> 00:51:21.059 one day, he said, in the ninth grade, they tried 00:51:21.059 --> 00:51:25.500 to teach me the algebra. He said, all these X's 00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:27.659 and Y's had numerical value. He said, I wasn't 00:51:27.659 --> 00:51:30.340 real bright. He said, but my final exam said 00:51:30.340 --> 00:51:32.860 X plus Y equals 49. Figure out what X and Y is. 00:51:32.940 --> 00:51:35.039 He said, I got so happy. I took my paper, went 00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:36.579 right up to the teacher, put it on her desk. 00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:38.659 And I said, if I got the 49, what do I care what 00:51:38.659 --> 00:51:44.780 X and Y is? Some of you get that a little bit 00:51:44.780 --> 00:51:48.940 later, but anyhow, the idea is, is when you got 00:51:48.940 --> 00:51:52.760 an answer, you can't have a problem. Figure out 00:51:52.760 --> 00:51:55.320 the problem. I already got the answer. What are 00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:57.199 you saying? A problem is not a problem when you 00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.739 got an answer. Jesus didn't look at the people 00:52:00.739 --> 00:52:03.360 like they had a problem. Because he'd be the 00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:06.340 answer. So he told a blind man, go home. How 00:52:06.340 --> 00:52:07.960 does a blind man go home? Well, the first thing 00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:15.880 you know is, anyway, we'll do. And in the going. 00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:18.760 His eyes opened up and he turned around and followed 00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:22.039 Jesus. Jesus always treated people like they 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.539 were already well. Why? When you stand in the 00:52:25.539 --> 00:52:27.760 presence of the answer, you can't act like there's 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:32.619 a problem. And guess what happened? That answer 00:52:32.619 --> 00:52:35.440 jumped inside your skin. He's living inside your 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:40.340 body. One translation, Galatians 2 .20 says, 00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:43.159 I've died and now I'm enjoying my second existence, 00:52:43.440 --> 00:52:47.119 which is simply Jesus. using my body. If the 00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:50.440 answer's inside my body, no wonder he doesn't 00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:53.219 have to get you healed in a blessing. If you're 00:52:53.219 --> 00:52:56.340 righteous, you ain't sick. No wonder he doesn't 00:52:56.340 --> 00:52:58.480 have to try to get you healed in a covenant that 00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:00.699 says, I am the Lord that heals you, when he's 00:53:00.699 --> 00:53:02.579 the one, if you're righteous, that goes before 00:53:02.579 --> 00:53:05.179 to make sure you never get sick, because you're 00:53:05.179 --> 00:53:07.900 well. Maybe some of you right here are just a 00:53:07.900 --> 00:53:11.960 whole lot more healed than you think. And maybe 00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:18.400 with your connection to the Holy Spirit, your 00:53:18.400 --> 00:53:24.639 body start changing instantly. Girl came to me, 00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:26.980 last story I'll tell you. Girl came to me, she 00:53:26.980 --> 00:53:29.019 was real buffed. I mean, I could tell you, she's 00:53:29.019 --> 00:53:31.820 real strong looking, young. And I thought, this 00:53:31.820 --> 00:53:34.360 girl must be an athlete. She says, I can't lift 00:53:34.360 --> 00:53:38.280 my arms above my shoulders. I said, what happened? 00:53:38.380 --> 00:53:40.219 She said, well, I'm a college softball player. 00:53:40.300 --> 00:53:42.199 I got a scholarship. I'm ready to lose my scholarship. 00:53:42.800 --> 00:53:45.179 I had an injury and both arms won't lift. Doctors 00:53:45.179 --> 00:53:48.719 don't know why. I said, well, what if they could? 00:53:48.820 --> 00:53:50.679 She said, that'd be great. I said, well, maybe 00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:52.980 you can't. She said, no, I told you, I can't 00:53:52.980 --> 00:53:54.420 lift them in here. I said, well, what if they 00:53:54.420 --> 00:53:55.679 could? She said, well, that'd be great. I said, 00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:58.159 maybe you can't. She goes, I told you I can't 00:53:58.159 --> 00:53:59.400 lift them. I said, but what if you could? She 00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:02.219 said, that would be great. I said, well, maybe 00:54:02.219 --> 00:54:06.019 you can't. She said, I told you I can't. And 00:54:06.019 --> 00:54:08.429 then she looked. She looked around and she said, 00:54:08.570 --> 00:54:13.369 what did you do to me? And I said, really, I 00:54:13.369 --> 00:54:17.050 didn't do much except hold you in a place long 00:54:17.050 --> 00:54:20.070 enough for God to be able to do what he's already 00:54:20.070 --> 00:54:32.489 done. Wow. There's healing in this air. From 00:54:32.489 --> 00:54:35.769 now on, you can't come to Life Bible Church. 00:54:37.380 --> 00:54:41.960 Without breathing in healing. It's in the air. 00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:46.619 It's in the air. The very first night in prayer 00:54:46.619 --> 00:54:49.800 before I got here, I knew that God was going 00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:52.420 to, from that moment, impregnate the air of this 00:54:52.420 --> 00:54:54.800 building with healing power. You say, wait, wait, 00:54:54.820 --> 00:54:56.860 wait, wait, wait. You really think that's what? 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:01.539 It's so possible. You know, they went and found 00:55:01.539 --> 00:55:05.019 where John G. Lake lived in Portland, Oregon. 00:55:05.610 --> 00:55:10.269 Two hours away. And in the house, the man had 00:55:10.269 --> 00:55:14.650 lived there all the years since Lake sold him 00:55:14.650 --> 00:55:16.550 that house. Only one owner. And he was still 00:55:16.550 --> 00:55:20.349 in that house. He was an older man. And he asked 00:55:20.349 --> 00:55:22.230 him, why are you come to this house? And they 00:55:22.230 --> 00:55:23.889 told him it's because it was John Lake. He said, 00:55:23.929 --> 00:55:25.610 that's right. I bought it from him. He said, 00:55:25.630 --> 00:55:27.269 well, he was a healing minister. And they began 00:55:27.269 --> 00:55:29.750 to tell him stories about Lake. And he then all 00:55:29.750 --> 00:55:32.409 of a sudden woke up and he said, come to think 00:55:32.409 --> 00:55:35.679 of it. Ever since I stepped into this home, Since 00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:38.579 I've lived here, I've never even had a cold. 00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:45.820 The glory got into the wood. It got into the 00:55:45.820 --> 00:55:49.579 cloth. It got into the ceiling. It got into the 00:55:49.579 --> 00:55:58.599 air. And that glory is inside of you. If the 00:55:58.599 --> 00:56:01.559 children of Israel could sleep one night, one 00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:06.769 night in the presence of God, than me, 60 years 00:56:06.769 --> 00:56:12.010 saved. I'll slap myself. I've been sleeping with 00:56:12.010 --> 00:56:16.969 Jesus for 60 years and I've had trouble. It's 00:56:16.969 --> 00:56:18.949 like, wake up, one breaks out and you'd be instantly 00:56:18.949 --> 00:56:25.530 healed. The devil's been pulling the wool over 00:56:25.530 --> 00:56:28.010 our eyes, folks. I only got one minute left. 00:56:29.750 --> 00:56:33.130 Lift up your hands right now. I command the blessing 00:56:33.130 --> 00:56:37.650 of the Lord upon you this day. That as your hands 00:56:37.650 --> 00:56:43.130 are lifted up like IVs that just drip, drip, 00:56:43.329 --> 00:56:48.130 drip, drip through the IV into your veins, into 00:56:48.130 --> 00:56:51.429 your body. I command the healing blessing of 00:56:51.429 --> 00:56:54.929 God that is in Christ because you are the righteousness 00:56:54.929 --> 00:56:58.550 of God in him. I command that blessing to flow 00:56:58.550 --> 00:57:03.460 into your bodies right now. cancer cell and removes 00:57:03.460 --> 00:57:10.320 every disease. There are infections in the bladders 00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:14.280 that are being healed right now. There are hips 00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:16.619 that are out of alignment that are being healed 00:57:16.619 --> 00:57:21.139 right now and no, you don't need a new hip. God's 00:57:21.139 --> 00:57:25.079 giving you that new hip right now. Father, I 00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:29.119 thank you for the digestion in this room. intestines 00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:32.360 that are being healed right now. You do not have 00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:36.079 IBS. You do not have Crohn's disease. You do 00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.119 not have trouble digesting. From this moment, 00:57:39.179 --> 00:57:41.539 you are the righteousness of God in Christ and 00:57:41.539 --> 00:57:45.139 God's power sets you free. What is reality? I 00:57:45.139 --> 00:57:47.559 am sharing that with you right now. There are 00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:50.340 multiple people right now. All the headaches 00:57:50.340 --> 00:57:53.579 and those migraines, I curse them. I commend 00:57:53.579 --> 00:57:55.900 them to come out of you and you'll not have another 00:57:55.900 --> 00:57:58.230 one in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. There 00:57:58.230 --> 00:58:01.150 is pain behind the eye and that disappears right 00:58:01.150 --> 00:58:04.030 now in the name of Jesus. I see the spine from 00:58:04.030 --> 00:58:07.389 the top of your head down to the very back of 00:58:07.389 --> 00:58:10.070 your rear end. I see the power of God setting 00:58:10.070 --> 00:58:13.070 your spine free. Every pain coming out of you 00:58:13.070 --> 00:58:15.610 in the name of Jesus. There are multiple knees 00:58:15.610 --> 00:58:17.969 right now that are being healed and touched by 00:58:17.969 --> 00:58:20.789 the Lord Jesus Christ. There is a man with prostate 00:58:20.789 --> 00:58:23.849 problems. I'm telling you, God. God sets you 00:58:23.849 --> 00:58:27.190 free right now in the name of Jesus. Every tumor 00:58:27.190 --> 00:58:30.510 and bump and lump and growth in this room, I 00:58:30.510 --> 00:58:32.889 command you to dissolve and die right now. You 00:58:32.889 --> 00:58:37.030 have no right to be on a righteous child of God. 00:58:39.730 --> 00:58:44.329 Brain development. I release you from the brain 00:58:44.329 --> 00:58:50.460 fog that causes you to doubt. I command that 00:58:50.460 --> 00:58:53.559 spirit that wraps its hands around your mind, 00:58:53.679 --> 00:58:58.099 hindering your ability to think. I command that 00:58:58.099 --> 00:59:03.219 to stop. Lord, by your wonderful grace, this 00:59:03.219 --> 00:59:08.400 room is experiencing the healer in great power 00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:12.599 and great glory. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, 00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:24.409 Lord. Thank you, Lord. And so give me your hands 00:59:24.409 --> 00:59:27.070 turned up like this. In the name of the Lord, 00:59:27.250 --> 00:59:29.710 you shall not only walk in the blessing of the 00:59:29.710 --> 00:59:32.010 Lord and the healing virtue of Jesus Christ, 00:59:32.090 --> 00:59:34.750 but from this moment, the healing power of God 00:59:34.750 --> 00:59:38.610 settles in your hands. And that healing anointing 00:59:38.610 --> 00:59:41.030 will walk with you. And you'll begin to know 00:59:41.030 --> 00:59:43.230 because your hands will begin to burn like fire. 00:59:43.900 --> 00:59:46.059 The presence of the Lord will come out of you 00:59:46.059 --> 00:59:49.760 like fire. The Holy Ghost and fire, praise the 00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:53.059 Lord, is now a part of your ministry. And you'll 00:59:53.059 --> 00:59:55.599 minister this healing virtue and this place will 00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:58.880 see miracles in Jesus' wonderful name. And that 00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:01.820 is now being given to you by the word of the 01:00:01.820 --> 01:00:04.539 Lord. Everybody lift your hands. One more moment. 01:00:04.579 --> 01:00:06.380 Father, thank you for these people. Thank you 01:00:06.380 --> 01:00:09.079 for the glory. Thank you for what you're sharing 01:00:09.079 --> 01:00:13.559 to us. We are sharp. We are quick to receive. 01:00:13.900 --> 01:00:18.820 We are open vessels.
