Speaker A:So today we're going to be getting into teaching and then I'm going to be praying for you.
Speaker A:So let's take a moment and pray.
Speaker A:Father God, I thank you for all of my brothers and sisters here that are watching, that are listening, no matter where they are, whether they're making traveling, at work, at home, in the hospital, wherever they are, in the prison, where, in the schools, wherever they are, Lord, I just thank you for each and every one of them.
Speaker A:And Lord, and we want, we here because we want to hear your voice.
Speaker A:We're here because we want to receive everything that you have from us, Lord.
Speaker A:We want to learn more about you.
Speaker A:We want to draw closer to you and we want to have your revelation change our lives.
Speaker A:So Lord, give us ears to hear and a mind to understand and a heart to, to just receive everything that you have for us today.
Speaker A:In Jesus name, amen.
Speaker A:Well, this is going to be super fun.
Speaker A:So if you've got your Bibles, go ahead and get them out.
Speaker A:You know, we're talking today, I mentioned the title before, but Meet the Healer.
Speaker A:You know, this is such a, such an important thing.
Speaker A:So often when we find ourselves searching out healing, it's because we have a motivation for it because we're sick ourselves or somebody that we love is very sick.
Speaker A:And the sicker and sick of that that person gets or the, or your body gets, the more that that drive becomes very real.
Speaker A:And maybe like the woman with the issue of blood, you have just been through many, many different physicians.
Speaker A:You've been sick for many years and you've not gotten better, but rather grown worse.
Speaker A:Well, just like there was hope for her, I'm going to tell you there is hope for you today.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:You know, she pushed through the crowd and she said in her heart, if I may grab the tassel, the hem of his garment, I shall be made well.
Speaker A:And you know, her faith received exactly what she believed for in her heart and what she spoke out with her mouth.
Speaker A:And she walked away from that, that encounter with Jesus completely whole, even though she'd been done Years and years of sickness.
Speaker A:And I want to encourage you today, maybe you're watching this and you think, well, you know, I'm not sure if God can heal me because, you know, I put my faith in the doctors.
Speaker A:I've had the surgeries, I've taken the medicines, I've had the treatments.
Speaker A:And, you know, I haven't chosen him first.
Speaker A:I went.
Speaker A:I went a different path.
Speaker A:And maybe I've disqualified myself.
Speaker A:Let me just reassure you today that you're not disqualified.
Speaker A:This woman with the issue of blood had been through all of the physicians.
Speaker A:She'd spent all of her money.
Speaker A:She didn't know there was any other way.
Speaker A:She tried everything.
Speaker A:And, you know, Jesus did not leave her.
Speaker A:He didn't turn around and say to her, well, you know what?
Speaker A:You didn't try me first.
Speaker A:So, you know, you can't have supernatural.
Speaker A:You can't.
Speaker A:You can't receive healing supernaturally.
Speaker A:You know, that's the lie of the enemy.
Speaker A:He's such a.
Speaker A:He's such an author of condemnation and sickness.
Speaker A:He makes you sick in the first place, and then he blames you no matter what you do to try to get out of it, right?
Speaker A:So don't listen to him.
Speaker A:It doesn't matter what has led up until this point.
Speaker A:You are still a candidate for the supernatural power of God's healing in your body.
Speaker A:And, and you know, you can earn your healing anyway.
Speaker A:It's a free gift.
Speaker A:And that means you can't disqualify yourself either.
Speaker A:Somebody needs to put in those comments.
Speaker A:I am not disqualified.
Speaker A:I am not disqualified from receiving my healing.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:Say I'm a candidate to receive.
Speaker A:I am a candidate to receive healing today.
Speaker A:That's the truth of really who you are.
Speaker A:But, you know, these, these different thought patterns, you know, they enter, they sweep through our minds and sometimes leave a lot of confusion.
Speaker A:But I wanted to clarify that because I believe that there are people that really have been struggling with that.
Speaker A:You're a candidate to receive not because you can earn it, not because you deserve it, but because Jesus paid for it.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That is the hard, cold truth.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:Don't let the devil deceive you otherwise.
Speaker A:Healing is a free gift that was paid for the cross as part of Jesus sacrifice, part of that word, atonement.
Speaker A:And what we're going to do today is we're going to get us to focus on Jesus being the healer.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes people come to come to the Lord when they're in the.
Speaker A:The worst of the worst crisis and they don't even necessarily have a day to day relationship with him, but they believe in him.
Speaker A:Maybe they've received him.
Speaker A:Maybe they haven't cultivated that relationship with him on a daily basis.
Speaker A:But in the middle of a crisis they say, Jesus, help.
Speaker A:And you know, because our, our, that gift of healing, our, our gift of healing in Jesus is based on everything that he's done and not on everything that we've done.
Speaker A:That means we're still candidates to receive.
Speaker A:Maybe we've been neglectful of our relationship with the Lord in the past.
Speaker A:Maybe we haven't, you know, read our Bible daily.
Speaker A:Maybe we have never been to church.
Speaker A:You know, maybe we just brand new at this and we just received Jesus.
Speaker A:You are all still very able, qualified and, and candidates to receive the healing power of God because Jesus already paid for it.
Speaker A:You couldn't earn it.
Speaker A:Now it's a good thing to read your Bible every day.
Speaker A:It's good, good thing to go to church every week.
Speaker A:It's a good thing to cultivate your relationship with the Lord, right?
Speaker A:Why wouldn't you?
Speaker A:There's so many good benefits, not just healing, but just, just everything.
Speaker A:But you know, our ability to receive from God is not based upon something that we've done.
Speaker A:It's based upon everything that he has done.
Speaker A:And that really is a crucial thing because, you know, healing is a byproduct of our relationship with the healer Jesus.
Speaker A:If we come to the Lord and we are just looking for something that we can get from him, it's almost like, you know, treating our relationship with the Lord a little bit like a slot machine.
Speaker A:Just keep putting a penny in, pulling an arm and hoping something's going to come out.
Speaker A:You know, if we approached our relationship with our spouse, you know, husband.
Speaker A:I'm putting this in like a marriage context, but if we approached our marriage relationships out with our spouse that way, where the only time we ever spoke to our spouse was when we wanted something or needed something, always in a moment of crisis.
Speaker A:It's not to say they wouldn't be there and they wouldn't help us and they wouldn't, you know, they wouldn't protect us and they wouldn't jump in and they wouldn't provide for us, but that lack of intimacy, it's just going to change the relationship.
Speaker A:You know, every time I, if every time I wanted something from Ashley, you know, I, I was just, I needed something and that's the only time I went to him.
Speaker A:It doesn't mean that he wouldn't love me anymore.
Speaker A:It doesn't mean that he wouldn't care for me anymore, but that intimacy would be gone and it would be hard for him to share with me, you know, his, his deepest thoughts, his biggest revelations.
Speaker A:You know, we'd start to break down the ability to really, I'd start to, to, to put away the ability to really hear each other and to understand even the non verbal things.
Speaker A:You know, that intimacy is so important.
Speaker A:If we want a healthy and happy marriage, we know that it takes quantity and quality time.
Speaker A:It's not just, well, you know what, I've done my five minutes.
Speaker A:There's right, I'm, I'm good for now, I'll come back next time I want something.
Speaker A:And it's kind of the same with the Lord.
Speaker A:He wants to have quality and quantity time with us and he loves us all the same.
Speaker A:But the more we, more time we spend with him, the more we get to know him, the more we, we know his character and his nature, the easier and the clearer it is to hear his voice.
Speaker A:That more intimacy that we have with him, the more precious that relationship becomes, the more that, that we are able to receive from that relationship.
Speaker A:And you know, in getting to know Jesus, you get to know him in all of his different facets.
Speaker A:He'll be your savior, he'll be your friend, he'll be your destroyer, he'll be your deliverer, he'll be your healer.
Speaker A:You know, the more time we get to spend focusing on Jesus and who he is, the easier it is for that healing power that's available as part of his sacrifice to be present in our body.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes we need to focus a little bit more on the healer than the healing and then that's, you know, I've just made a really big statement there.
Speaker A:So I'm going to have a sip of my tea while you, while that settles in.
Speaker A:But searching for the healer, you know, in searching for the healer, we will find the healing.
Speaker A:Healing is a fruit of our relationship with, with the Lord.
Speaker A:But it's hard to have fruit if you don't first have a root, right?
Speaker A:If our root is in that relate is rooted in Him.
Speaker A:We have a relationship with Him.
Speaker A:All of those good things, that deliverance, that freedom, that peace, you know, that healing power, those things are going to flow through our body naturally.
Speaker A:It's not just about, you know, trying to go to Jesus when we have a crisis, we have an acre of pain or a need and saying, I need you to fix this.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:Our relationship's gone deeper than that.
Speaker A:Lord, I love you because you're good.
Speaker A:I worship you because you're Lord, you know, and when we, when we start to do that, those natural byproducts of, of that of the healthy relationship start to flow in our body.
Speaker A:So healing might be the thing that we're asking God for the most.
Speaker A:And it becomes, and if you're not careful, it can become the central focus of our relationship with the Lord, where the only time that we're praying, the only time that we're studying, the only time that we're reading any Christian materials, listen to any sermons is because we need to receive something from Him.
Speaker A:And you know, this is really subtle, but I see a lot actually in ministry, especially when people have a crisis.
Speaker A:And I have great compassion because, you know, we've been through some really big health challenges in our lives.
Speaker A:Personally, I have personally.
Speaker A:And then we have with our daughter as well.
Speaker A:And in those moments, it's really hard not to think of anything else.
Speaker A:You know, if you have pain going on in your body, it's hard kind of not to think about that.
Speaker A:But it's, it's.
Speaker A:We've talked about this a little bit before, but sickness and disease is a fruit of the enemy.
Speaker A:It's part of his character and his nature.
Speaker A:And by essence, because it comes from the enemy, is selfish by nature.
Speaker A:And it wants all of your time, it wants all of your attention, all your money, all your relationships.
Speaker A:It wants to plan everything about your life.
Speaker A:Your calendar, your schedule, your appointments, what you can eat, whether you can work, where you can go, everything, you know.
Speaker A:And so it, it's, it's.
Speaker A:It wants to be the central focus even of your relationship with God.
Speaker A:And this is a really, is a point of frustration for people because they're trying to get the very thing that they've already got in Jesus.
Speaker A:But their focus is so much on the byproduct, on the fruit, that they neglect the root.
Speaker A:And then the root of that relationship, the health of that relationship starts, starts to wither, starts to become constricted.
Speaker A:That flow starts of power, supernatural power, starts to become constricted.
Speaker A:And it's hard to see the fruit growing on the end of the branches.
Speaker A:So I'm going to talk a little bit today about this because I think it's going to help people.
Speaker A:Sometimes our focus, especially if you're chronically sick and you found that you've been in this little, I call it the faith merry go round, where people hear that supernatural healing is available for them and they jump on the merry go round, but then they go, they literally amer what does the merry go round do?
Speaker A:It just goes around and around and around, and you find yourself more frustrated than you do in faith because you're just not seeing any result.
Speaker A:You know, what is this?
Speaker A:What does this merry go round sound like?
Speaker A:Well, it sounds like somebody that's been praying and doing everything that they know to do and not getting any anywhere because everything that they've been praying, everything they've been knowing, thinking to do, is being focused upon getting something from God, getting something from God rather than on their relationship with the Lord.
Speaker A:You know, when we allow ourselves to just be children of God and to be loved, beloved, right, be chosen, be accepted, and we focus on that, on that part of it, the healing part of it comes much easier because we're not.
Speaker A:We're just allowing ourselves to be loved by the Lord and resting in what he's already done rather than striving and trying to make something happen.
Speaker A:You know, this is, this is a subtle change, but really a very important one.
Speaker A:Whatever we focus on in life gets bigger.
Speaker A:So if your focus in your relationship with the Lord is just on healing, which seems ironic because we're in the whole series on healing, and I do a lot of prayer for healing on Power Hour, but if that becomes our sole focus, then it just, it just, just, just.
Speaker A:I don't know how to.
Speaker A:I don't know how to explain it.
Speaker A:Just like almost like putting your hand around the root of a plant and squeezing the life out of it, expecting nutrients just to, to still flow, you know, everything that we focus on in life gets bigger if we spend more time focusing on the sickness and the disease, even in the quest for healing, you know, we're going to make, we're going to actually empower that sickness and disease in the middle of that quest for healing, just by our focus being on everything that the enemy is doing rather than everything that Jesus has done.
Speaker A:See, so often we look at everything the enemy is doing.
Speaker A:We look at the symptoms, we focus on the symptoms, we focus on the diagnosis, we focus on the test results, we focus on the aches and the pains and how our body speaks to us.
Speaker A:But the more we focus on that, the bigger those things become and the more empowered and the more authority we hand them over in our life.
Speaker A:Whereas if we start to shift our focus just a little bit, and I'm saying that we ignore symptoms and we pretend we're not having pain, I'm not saying that at all.
Speaker A:You know, faith isn't denial, it's just denying the physical symptoms to have final authority.
Speaker A:That's a big difference.
Speaker A:And you know, if we instead we were to shift our focus just a little bit on every time we get an ache or every time we got a pain or every time we got that, that pang of fear on the inside because of doctors report, and we would have focused.
Speaker A:Oh, thank you Lord that you you've already sent your word and healed me.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you Lord, that you're my deliverer who redeems my life from destruction.
Speaker A:I thank you Lord that you've already delivered me from every sickness, from every disease.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you that your power flows through my veins.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you that you're my healer.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you that raising from the dead power lives on the inside of me and is quickened to my mortal flesh.
Speaker A:That same power that raised Christ from the dead now quickens to my mortal flesh and brings life into dead places.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord.
Speaker A:I have free resurrection power flowing through my veins.
Speaker A:That subtle shift now we're, we're focusing on everything God has done in our prayers, everything God has done with our words and with our attention rather than I just rebuke that pain and I rebuke that ache and I command that symptom to go.
Speaker A:Now let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.
Speaker A:We kind of do both.
Speaker A:Both are important.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:But I'm specifically talking about if you're stuck on the faith.
Speaker A:Merry go round and you've been binding, you've been loosened, and you've been taking authority, but nothing seem to change.
Speaker A:It's time to break the cycle because, you know, there's a reason why your words are not having an effect and then just going around and around and around.
Speaker A:We got to get back to basics.
Speaker A:You know, in Second Corinthians 4:13, it says we believe and therefore we speak.
Speaker A:Sometimes fear can be a big motivator.
Speaker A:We talked about this last week, them how some people destroying the lie of fear is what we talked about last time.
Speaker A:How some people's motivation for receiving healing is really much more based in their fear of the symptoms, their fear of death, their fear of being in pain, than their motivation for, well, Jesus already done it.
Speaker A:I'm coming to take back what the devil stole.
Speaker A:So their motivation for searching out healing is based in fear rather than faith.
Speaker A:And that causes frustration.
Speaker A:And you know, we see the same here in this faith.
Speaker A:Mary, go round where people sometimes, sometimes people's words that they speak, and even though they're, you know, we're speaking with words of authority and we're speaking directly to the mountain.
Speaker A:We're not seeing the mountain move.
Speaker A:And if we take that frustration back to hang in a minute, what does the word say?
Speaker A:2Nd Corinthians 4:13 says, we believe and therefore we speak.
Speaker A:Well, you know our words aren't like abracadabra, right?
Speaker A:They're not just, we're not faking it till we make it.
Speaker A:Our words are powerful, but they have powerful because they have belief behind them.
Speaker A:Our words in the.
Speaker A:On their own could be empty carriers.
Speaker A:They couldn't.
Speaker A:They might not be filled with, with, with faith and power.
Speaker A:Even though they sound good, they don't have that authority that goes with them.
Speaker A:Unless those words are anchored in our heart, in a position of faith and confidence, we have to believe and then we speak.
Speaker A:Otherwise we're just speaking hoping something is going to sit, but we don't really believe it.
Speaker A:And how do we know that?
Speaker A:Because when we speak and nothing changes, it's because our words didn't carry any power.
Speaker A:They wouldn't carry any power if they're not root faith.
Speaker A:That's really important.
Speaker A:So that faith merry go round is, is describing someone that it's.
Speaker A:That sounds like they're doing all the right thing, but they're not seeing any evidence.
Speaker A:Another way to know whether you're speaking words of faith is they have evidence.
Speaker A:Hebrews 11, verse 1, it says, now faith is the evidence of things, the evidence of things not seen, right?
Speaker A:And so there's evidence.
Speaker A:One way you to know that your words have power is there's some kind of evidence, you know.
Speaker A:And so this faith Mary go round, this is when people literally go round and round in circles doing everything they know to do in search of healing, but not receiving what they know belongs to them.
Speaker A:And they don't know how to get off that merry go round.
Speaker A:We hear people say, this is what the faith merry go round sounds like.
Speaker A:I've done this, I've done that.
Speaker A:I've bound, I've loosed, I fasted, I've prayed, I've confessed the word.
Speaker A:I've taken communion.
Speaker A:I know what to do next.
Speaker A:I don't know what to do next.
Speaker A:Notice something.
Speaker A:There's a lot of I in there.
Speaker A:I've done this, I've done that.
Speaker A:I don't know what to do next.
Speaker A:And this is subtle, but when you actually sound it out and listen to your own words, you can, you can identify that more easily.
Speaker A:Anytime we put the responsibility for something back on us, we use the word I something that I've done.
Speaker A:And you know, if we're not careful, we can make receiving healing from God a work of the flesh.
Speaker A:We can make it based on something that we've done by where our focus is, rather than something that Jesus has done.
Speaker A:So if you're tempted or if maybe you have, you know, said, I've done this, I've done that, I don't know what to do next, then let this be a little highlighter in your brain, right?
Speaker A:But what I's done is not nearly as important as what he has done.
Speaker A:It's the focus has to be on him.
Speaker A:And this really is a trick of the enemy.
Speaker A:It's so subtle to get your focus on your.
Speaker A:He tries to get us to focus on our actions, on our failures, on our shortcomings, even on our success.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Anything, any.
Speaker A:Any ability that we have, you know, to believe just right.
Speaker A:And what he'll do, he'll come with condemnation.
Speaker A:Say, see, you've done all of these things.
Speaker A:You tried to.
Speaker A:You tried to believe just right, but you're still.
Speaker A:Still not enough.
Speaker A:Anytime we take.
Speaker A:Put the focus on us, it's almost like we give license to the enemy to bring condemnation, to point the finger.
Speaker A:Because in ourselves, in ourselves, we can't do anything.
Speaker A:Everything has to be about Jesus.
Speaker A:But when we put the focus back on Jesus the healer for our healing, it doesn't become about us anymore.
Speaker A:It becomes.
Speaker A:Everything becomes about him.
Speaker A:So every time that ache, every time that pain, every time that symptoms comes to squeeze and pinch and hurt and burn and sting, you say, I thank you, Lord, that your healing power is flowing through my veins.
Speaker A:I thank you, Lord, that my flesh is strong.
Speaker A:Lord, I thank you a lot of my prayers.
Speaker A:If you listen to me, start with, lord, I thank you that.
Speaker A:I thank you that even more than I rebuke you, devil.
Speaker A:I thank you, Lord, that there's a difference.
Speaker A:I really don't like giving too much attention to what the enemy is doing.
Speaker A:And because.
Speaker A:Because honestly, it gives you more credit than he, than is due.
Speaker A:And I just don't want to make.
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I want to.
Speaker A:In my prayer life, I like to minimize to something the enemy is doing and maximize everything that God has already done.
Speaker A:So anything can become an idol.
Speaker A:You know, it's strange to think, and I teach at healing conferences all over the world, but it's strange to mention this, but especially when it's a program like this or a conference or whatever where people specifically come to receive healing.
Speaker A:But healing can become an idol.
Speaker A:You know, anything that takes up a lot of Our time, a lot of our attention, a lot of our focus becomes the biggest, biggest and most important thing in our life.
Speaker A:You know, if it's on the throne of our heart, the scripture describes that as an idol.
Speaker A:Anything that becomes, even before God and his power in our life and his love in our life, anything that gets in the way of that, that becomes more than that, becomes an idol.
Speaker A:And healing is not a thing.
Speaker A:It's not an experience.
Speaker A:It's not something that God does.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Healing is who he is.
Speaker A:Healing is a person, and his name is Jesus.
Speaker A:And when we start to understand that healing is Jesus and Jesus is healing, Jesus is the healer.
Speaker A:Healing is now a person with a name.
Speaker A:It's not a task or something that's.
Speaker A:That's, you know, owed to us or something that just God does outside of himself.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's Jesus.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It starts to put healing back into the context of that relationship.
Speaker A:And the devil hates it.
Speaker A:He really does.
Speaker A:He doesn't want to see you do that at all.
Speaker A:Because if you can separate what you need from Jesus, you're here, and take your eyes away from Jesus over here.
Speaker A:It's almost like the evil, the enemy comes with a symptom, with a sickness, with something over here.
Speaker A:And he's like, look at me, look at me.
Speaker A:Take your eyes off Jesus and look at me.
Speaker A:Kind of like when Peter stepped out the boat and he started to walk on water.
Speaker A:Do you remember that story?
Speaker A:He started to walk on water.
Speaker A:And he was fine walking on the water as long as he kept his eyes on Jesus.
Speaker A:But the moment he started to feel the wind and feel the waves and.
Speaker A:And feel the splashing and, you know, the ways.
Speaker A:He didn't say he stepped out into a mill pond, a still.
Speaker A:Like it was a still raging waves, maybe he had to run up, you know, one side of the wave and slide down the other.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:But all we do know is every.
Speaker A:The whole time that he kept his eyes on Jesus, he walked on top of the water.
Speaker A:But the minute he started to turn aside and see what the enemy was doing, the size of the wind, the size of the waves, you know, when we start to do the same thing with symptoms, and we focus on the symptoms and the pains and the aches and everything that goes with that, when we take.
Speaker A:When we do that, we have to take our eyes off Jesus to look at what the enemy is doing.
Speaker A:We take our eyes off Jesus to look at the wind and the waves.
Speaker A:We take our eyes off Jesus to look at the symptoms and the side effects, you know, we'll find, we'll find ourselves starting to sink.
Speaker A:Let's make sure that we understand that Jesus and healing are a person.
Speaker A:Jesus is the healer.
Speaker A:Healing is a person.
Speaker A:His name is Jesus.
Speaker A:It's not a thing that he does.
Speaker A:You know, we, when we have that down in our heart, we'll start to search out relationship intimacy with the healer rather than just looking for an answer for our, for our pain so important.
Speaker A:And we'll make sure that then in that, that Jesus is our focus and Jesus is on the throne of our hearts.
Speaker A:Not receiving something even as good as healing is, our relationship with God doesn't become minimized.
Speaker A:Is this something that we can get from, from Him.
Speaker A:Our relationship with God is, is special to us because of who he is and who we are in Him.
Speaker A:And this, you know, this, this same mindset can be applied to anything.
Speaker A:Receiving healing, financial prosperity, you know, spiritual gifts, all of those things.
Speaker A:Any of these things can become an idol.
Speaker A:And we can meet Ms. Jesus in the middle of that, searching for those things.
Speaker A:But if we really want to understand healing, we must understand the source.
Speaker A:Source of healing, the person of healing, and that is Jesus.
Speaker A:Let's look at this scripture.
Speaker A: In John: Speaker A:No one comes to the Father except through me.
Speaker A:If you had known me then, you would have known my Father also.
Speaker A:And from now on you know him and have seen Him.
Speaker A:Jesus is the way to healing.
Speaker A:He is the truth of healing.
Speaker A:He's the source of healing in that order.
Speaker A:Jesus.
Speaker A:You know, Jesus entire ministry was teaching and healing people.
Speaker A:He's always going on the way to heal somebody or on the way back from healing somebody.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That was a huge part of his ministry here on earth.
Speaker A:And he said, it's the truth which sets us free.
Speaker A:John.
Speaker A:That's John 8, verse 32, by the way.
Speaker A:When we know him, we're going to receive what we need from him when we know him through that relationship.
Speaker A:Let's look at this scripture in Matthew 4:23.
Speaker A:And Jesus went all about Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
Speaker A:Now, no matter what you're suffering with, right?
Speaker A:Jesus is the answer.
Speaker A:He's the healer.
Speaker A:But I want you to see something because it says here all kinds of.
Speaker A:All kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease amongst the people.
Speaker A:This is really important because people grade sickness like they grade Sin, you know, there shouldn't be any grades of sin, but people do great sin.
Speaker A:You know, they'd say murder is much more serious than lying.
Speaker A:Or, you know, lying is much more serious than gluttony eating too much.
Speaker A:And we'll say, well, you know, gluttony, that is a, you know what, that is an acceptable sin because, you know, Thanksgiving, Christmas, you know, holidays roll around having that second piece of cake, you know, eating too much to eat, stretch our stomachs.
Speaker A:You know, we know that gluttony is a sin in the Bible, but it's an acceptable kind of sin.
Speaker A:You know, we'll give that one a pass.
Speaker A:But, you know, and lying, well, you know, is it, is it a white lie?
Speaker A:We used to call that.
Speaker A:We sat in our house, I didn't grow up in a safe time, right?
Speaker A:So we said, well, you know, that is a lie.
Speaker A:That's not true.
Speaker A:But it's okay because it's, it's, you know, to protect someone, it would call that a white lie.
Speaker A:So there'd be grades of lying.
Speaker A:Even, you know, we grade sin.
Speaker A:You know, we all knew that, that stealing was wrong, but if you were stealing from somebody rich and giving it to the poor like Robin Hood, then, you know, maybe they would give you a pass on that, right?
Speaker A:Well, murder is just murder.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:Unless it's self defense, you know, so there's, there seems to be a whole lot of grades of sin.
Speaker A:Well, God just sees sin as sin.
Speaker A:Sin is anything.
Speaker A:And the scripture actually is more strict than that.
Speaker A:It says anything that's not a faith is sin.
Speaker A:I mean, like we are sinning.
Speaker A:Doesn't matter how good we are multiple times a day in our, you know, and it's as good as if you think it's as good as done.
Speaker A:So even if it's not a sin that anyone can see, if you've thought it, if you had an ungodly thought, then you've been sinning.
Speaker A:I mean, we need a savior, right?
Speaker A:Praise Jesus for being our Savior.
Speaker A:He took the payment on the cross for all of our sin.
Speaker A:We could not come into relationship with Lord as sinners.
Speaker A:And yet we live in a fallen world where we're sinning all the time, even if we mean to or not.
Speaker A:So we understand that sin is bad.
Speaker A:We understand that Jesus paid the price for us to be free from sin.
Speaker A:But what happens is sometimes we take.
Speaker A:Even though, you know, sin is sin and a little sin will cause us to miss the mark without Savior.
Speaker A:You know, even the best sinner can't Be in heaven without Jesus.
Speaker A:You know, to sin.
Speaker A:The actual phrase to sin, it means two things.
Speaker A:It means to miss the mark and to err.
Speaker A:To err again, right?
Speaker A:To.
Speaker A:To make a mistake.
Speaker A:To make a mistake or to err.
Speaker A:Err.
Speaker A:So, you know, even if we have a little bit of sin, if we don't have Jesus, we're not going to get to heaven because we.
Speaker A:Because.
Speaker A:Because that's not how that works.
Speaker A:You need to have Jesus cleanse you from all sin and all unrighteousness in order to make it heaven.
Speaker A:That's how that works.
Speaker A:Okay?
Speaker A:So without Jesus, it doesn't matter.
Speaker A:Even if we've only committed very little sin using just little.
Speaker A:The little white lies or, you know, just to protect people and, you know, maybe just the gluttony.
Speaker A:Well, just those ones.
Speaker A:But we haven't murdered anyone.
Speaker A:We haven't stolen anything.
Speaker A:No, you're still a sinner.
Speaker A:You still need Jesus.
Speaker A:There's no grades of sin when it.
Speaker A:For.
Speaker A:For God, it's either you've sinned or you haven't sinned.
Speaker A:And the only person to be sinless was Jesus.
Speaker A:That's why we.
Speaker A:That's why he become our sacrifice on the cross.
Speaker A:As substitute, he took.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker A:He took.
Speaker A:He was qualified to take all of our sin into his body because he'd never sinned, right?
Speaker A:So we tap.
Speaker A:But we take that mindset sometimes, that wrong mindset, and we apply that to sickness.
Speaker A:And we start to think, well, you know, we start to grade sickness like we grade sin, even though it's wrong.
Speaker A:And we start to say, well, you know, if you've got a cold, you know, that doesn't take a whole lot of faith to overcome a cold, you know, because, you know, in a couple of weeks, you got an immune system.
Speaker A:You're going to be okay.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:You're going to be okay.
Speaker A:But I know a cancer, a genetic condition, you know, an organ failure or brain damage, mental illness, I don't know.
Speaker A:Those are the big ones there.
Speaker A:Those would be.
Speaker A:I was going to take more faith in that, you know, but that's not even scriptural.
Speaker A:That's not even scriptural.
Speaker A:It takes no more faith for us to receive healing from the cold than it does for us to receive healing for a cancer, for genetic condition, for a brain tumor, for, you know, whatever it is.
Speaker A:There's no grades of sickness like, there's no grades of sin.
Speaker A:It's just that the.
Speaker A:That shouldn't be present in our body.
Speaker A:Siddharth.
Speaker A:Sin shouldn't be present in our body.
Speaker A:Sickness shouldn't be present in our body, but there is a way of escape.
Speaker A:His name is Jesus, and it's the same Savior is the same healer, the same person who delivered you from all sin is the same person that freed you and healed you from all sickness.
Speaker A:Exactly the same.
Speaker A:Now, we've been through in previous lessons how there was one atonement that paid for both of those things.
Speaker A:So that's really important.
Speaker A:We sin is.
Speaker A:Sin is equally paid for by Jesus and sickness is sickness equally paid for by Jesus.
Speaker A:Doesn't take any less or more power or more faith to receive.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Let's look back at Matthew 4:24.
Speaker A:We just read Matthew 4:23.
Speaker A:Okay, so go on.
Speaker A:One more verse into Matthew 4:24.
Speaker A:It says this.
Speaker A:Then his fame went through all of Syria and they brought to him all of the sick people that were afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon possessed, epileptics, paralytics, and he healed them.
Speaker A:He healed them, you know, 14 times.
Speaker A:In the Gospel, it actually says Jesus healed them all.
Speaker A:He healed them all.
Speaker A:Didn't matter what was wrong with them.
Speaker A:Didn't matter.
Speaker A:Didn't matter whether they were big sin, little sin, little sickness, big sickness.
Speaker A:He healed them all 14 times.
Speaker A:Says that in the New Testament.
Speaker A:The longer we've been dealing with some with sickness for though the more rooted, the more seated on the throne of our hearts it becomes.
Speaker A:The longer a sickness has been around, the more comfortable it becomes in our environment.
Speaker A:The more comfortable, the more established, the more of a stronghold sets up.
Speaker A:It set strongholds like an encampment.
Speaker A:The longer sickness has been around, the bigger that encampment it starts to make.
Speaker A:The bigger that wall.
Speaker A:You think about a castle, one of those old medieval castles, and the, the thickness of those walls, right, and the turrets that they build.
Speaker A:It takes a while, you know, you don't just you, you can erect a tent really quickly, right?
Speaker A:Just put some poles and throw the sheet over and, and stake it down.
Speaker A:But if you're going to build a castle, that takes a fortress.
Speaker A:It takes building of walls.
Speaker A:That's going to take a long time.
Speaker A:That's the difference.
Speaker A:You say, you might say, well, a cold, a cold.
Speaker A:That might be like pitching a tent and the, you know, a tent of sickness on the inside of us.
Speaker A:It's temporary, you know, it doesn't take too much effort to destroy that thing and the wind to come and blow it down, you know, and it can get put up pretty quickly, but it also get taken down pretty quickly.
Speaker A:But you know, something more serious, you know, a terminal condition, well, that becomes like a castle, that one becomes like a fortress and that stays in somebody.
Speaker A:You know, it takes a while.
Speaker A:Don't just wake up and find this, this thing that's been there a while.
Speaker A:Brick upon brick upon brick, building walls in the Latin layers, in our heart till it's enthroned itself.
Speaker A:Now in its audacity, it's sitting on the throne of your heart, calling the shots and saying, I'm the king, I'm the king of your heart.
Speaker A:I'm the biggest thing in your world right now.
Speaker A:You know, I'm the thing that's going to kill you.
Speaker A:That's what sickness and disease, especially long term, chronic and and acute sicknesses can do.
Speaker A:They can, they can start to establish themselves till they become our entire focus.
Speaker A:And this is where we called, some would call something, we'd use the word possessed.
Speaker A:Now, you know, the longer that we've been dealing with something, the more seated on the throne of our heart it becomes.
Speaker A:And, but the disease becomes more rooted.
Speaker A:Look at this back again in, in Matthew 4:24 it says that they brought to him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon possessed.
Speaker A:Is that what possessed epileptics, paralytics and, and he healed them all.
Speaker A:Now the word possessed, it means to be overtaken with something.
Speaker A:So you know, there's something.
Speaker A:Sometimes there's a bit of a tension here in that the body of Christ, whether a believer is oppressed or possessed.
Speaker A:Listen, I'm not interested in semantics.
Speaker A:I'm just saying when something has become so serious in your life that has become an obsession, that it has become an absolute focus that is climbed on the throne of your heart, it means that you have been overtaken by something.
Speaker A:And you know, your spirit can't be overtaken by anything demonic because it is spiritual.
Speaker A:You're sealed with the Holy Spirit, but your flesh sure can be overtaken by something.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:And so I do believe whether you want to use the word possessed or oppressed, you know, the scripture says possess and it says demonized, right?
Speaker A:It's semantics.
Speaker A:I don't really care.
Speaker A:But in, in the, in the text there, it's talking about possess and it's, it's talking about some area of your life that has become, the focus has moved away from Jesus being the most important thing, the final authority to the most important thing and final authority.
Speaker A:And the person who's calling the shots is the sick.
Speaker A:That's a problem that becomes a problem.
Speaker A:And this, the.
Speaker A:This is when the issue takes up resonance in our mind until it overtakes us.
Speaker A:Every thought becomes about that issue.
Speaker A:Everything we think about, everything we pray about, everything we read about, all of our conversations become about this issue.
Speaker A:And this is why we've got to be passionate about overcoming sickness and disease as, as much as we are about, you know, being holy.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:We need to be passion.
Speaker A:We need to hate and sickness and disease like we hate sin.
Speaker A:We don't want to have either of those in our mind.
Speaker A:I want to show an example here in Mark, chapter 15.
Speaker A:Now, this is the story of the healing of the demoniac.
Speaker A:So, you know, they go across from the storm, they get to the other side of the boat, and in the boat gets the other side of the lake rather, Jesus gets out.
Speaker A:And the whole reason for that journey across in that stormy water was for one man.
Speaker A:The demon possessed man.
Speaker A:And he lived in the, in the region of the Gadarenes.
Speaker A:Here.
Speaker A:Now I've got teachings on this.
Speaker A:I'm not going to reteach the whole thing.
Speaker A:But this man was tormented.
Speaker A:He was tormented in his mind and in he was.
Speaker A:They tried chaining him up, you know, but every time he broke the chains free, he cut himself.
Speaker A:He was isolated.
Speaker A:He was living amongst the tombs, eating the flesh of pigs, you know, speaking to the dead.
Speaker A:If you study this out necromancy like this was, this man was demonized even in his worst situation.
Speaker A:This is a man who had given his, his soul over to the enemy, his body over to the enemy, right, and was being used by the enemy.
Speaker A:This isn't just somebody that is physically sick in their body.
Speaker A:They've got the enemy manifesting a sickness in their flesh.
Speaker A:Now this, this man had the enemy manifesting in, in his flesh and in his soul.
Speaker A:Okay, so two thirds of him, at least, okay, had been given over to the power of darkness.
Speaker A:Even in that terrible state.
Speaker A:That, that condition, that power of the enemy in his body was not enough to stop this man.
Speaker A:When he saw Jesus running and throwing himself at his feet, he literally ran and threw himself at the feet of Jesus.
Speaker A:You know, it doesn't matter how much sicknesses and disease you have ravaging your body right now.
Speaker A:It is no match for the name of Jesus.
Speaker A:That should bring you some relief right there.
Speaker A:The sickness and disease is not more powerful than the name of Jesus in your life at all.
Speaker A:You are not beyond deliverance.
Speaker A:You're not beyond redemption.
Speaker A:You are not beyond restoration.
Speaker A:You are not beyond healing.
Speaker A:This man threw himself at the feet of Jesus.
Speaker A:And Jesus, he speaks.
Speaker A:And let's pick this up.
Speaker A:In Mark 15, verse, Mark 5, verses 15, he says, then they came to Jesus and they saw the one that had been demon possessed, and they had legion sitting and clothed in his right mind.
Speaker A:You see, the moment that he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, he was, it was an act of submission.
Speaker A:He was saying, jesus, you're on the throne of my life.
Speaker A:You're my savior, help me.
Speaker A:What happened in the middle of that was he put Jesus back on the throne of his heart.
Speaker A:That simple decision, Lord, you know, I want to put you back on the throne of my heart.
Speaker A:And maybe we need to do that.
Speaker A:Maybe, maybe even receiving healing has become an idol more important than even our relationship with Jesus.
Speaker A:That's a simple act of repentance, Lord, I repent for making receiving healing an idol.
Speaker A:And right now, I put you back on the throne of my heart and I give you all of my focus and I give you all of my attention.
Speaker A:The moment that this man did this, it says he, the actual multiple demons left him.
Speaker A:And that's a whole story in itself.
Speaker A:But they came out of him into some swine through.
Speaker A:The swine jumped off a cliff first pick aside in the Bible, okay, even the swine, the pigs were smart enough not to live with the enemy in their bodies.
Speaker A:But in Mark 5:15, it says, Then they came to Jesus and saw the one who had been.
Speaker A:These are the people, the people that knew this man that was living by the tombs in these terrible conditions.
Speaker A:Then they came to Jesus and saw the one that had been who had been demon possessed and had the legion sitting and clothed in his right mind.
Speaker A:You know, the result of this meeting, this demoniac meeting Jesus was not only deliverance, but restoration.
Speaker A:And I believe this is the difference between being healed and being whole, right?
Speaker A:This man was restored spirit, soul and body.
Speaker A:And he got delivered of the power of darkness.
Speaker A:He got physically free as well.
Speaker A:But now he had his mind back, he had his thinking back.
Speaker A:You see what happens when we start to put Jesus on the throne of our heart and we give him more focus and more attention than we do even receiving healing.
Speaker A:There is peace that comes to our mind.
Speaker A:There is peace, there is clarity of thought.
Speaker A:There is ability to sit and listen and receive.
Speaker A:You know, this man was clothed again.
Speaker A:You know, he was back in.
Speaker A:He was protected again.
Speaker A:He was cared for again.
Speaker A:You know, the things that, you know, one of the things the enemy likes to do, I don't know what it is, but he's got a thing about nakedness and exposing people.
Speaker A:But, you know, the love of God envelops us.
Speaker A:It clothes us, it gives us robes of righteousness.
Speaker A:It gives us our identity back again.
Speaker A:So important now Jesus was on the throne of this man's heart.
Speaker A:You know, some of us are so wrapped up in our need for healing because our bodies are speaking to us, right?
Speaker A:Every day, every little ache, every little pain.
Speaker A:We call that an organ recital.
Speaker A:And all your organs are talking, right?
Speaker A:But it causes, it cause desperation.
Speaker A:It causes desperation.
Speaker A:The more we listen to their body, the more desperate we'll become.
Speaker A:Rather than faith building up, fear starts to build up.
Speaker A:So to get back to basics, some of us need to get back to basics today.
Speaker A:Get the main thing, the main thing, focus back on the healer, the God who always has been the healer, right?
Speaker A:Rather than trying to receive something, focus back on the one that that gives it.
Speaker A:Isaiah 53, verse 5 says, but he was wounded for our transgressions.
Speaker A:He was bruised for our iniquities.
Speaker A:The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord.
Speaker A:We are healed.
Speaker A:You know, this was, this was in an old covenant scripture, looking forward to the cross that hadn't happened yet.
Speaker A:But if you look for the same scripture post resurrection, 1st Peter 2:24 says, we were healed.
Speaker A:This is the same thing, quotes the same thing, but changes the tense to we were healed.
Speaker A:It's looking back at the cross.
Speaker A:This is so huge.
Speaker A:Exodus 15, verse 26 says, if you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his sight, give ear to his commandments and keep all of his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I bought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who heals you.
Speaker A:Remember this old Old Covenant.
Speaker A:The Israelites had to keep the law in order to, you know, be free from sin and be free from sickness and receive blessing.
Speaker A:But Jesus changed everything.
Speaker A:Now every time the devil points a finger at us, we just point to Jesus.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:I can't take the blame for that because Jesus has already paid for me to be free.
Speaker A:I can't take your symptoms because Jesus already paid for me to be healed, right?
Speaker A:So he says, jesus, because Jesus fulfilled all of the requirements of that old covenant law, so now we get to live in the blessings by faith in Jesus.
Speaker A:The key here is it says, God says, I am the Lord who heals you.
Speaker A:And I wanted to read that because I am the Lord who heals you.
Speaker A:And that's a permanent tense.
Speaker A:That tense goes on and on and on.
Speaker A:This is God saying, this is who I am.
Speaker A:He's the Lord.
Speaker A:He doesn't change.
Speaker A:He changes not so he says, I'm the Lord who heals you.
Speaker A:And this is.
Speaker A:He's actually revealing one of his names there.
Speaker A:Jehovah, Rafa, I'm the Lord who heals.
Speaker A:You know, healing isn't something that God does.
Speaker A:It's who he is.
Speaker A:Healing is a person.
Speaker A:It's not a thing.
Speaker A: e go back one verse to Exodus: Speaker A:Cried out to the Lord, and he showed him a tree.
Speaker A:When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.
Speaker A:You know, this.
Speaker A:This whole episode here is a picture of Jesus.
Speaker A:When we apply the tree is symbolic.
Speaker A:You know, it's.
Speaker A:It's the cross.
Speaker A:And when we apply the cross to the bitter waters, it's like when we apply Jesus to our situation, when we apply Jesus to our doctor's report, when we apply Jesus to our prognosis, when we apply Jesus to our test outcome, when we apply Jesus to our Whatever need we have.
Speaker A:It Ch.
