WEBVTT 00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:08.109 While you're standing up, let's reach down and pick up our Bibles, wave them around, make Jesus glad, the devil mad and live stream audience. 00:00:08.109 --> 00:00:09.000 Get your Bibles out. 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:10.727 We're going to get into the Word tonight. 00:00:10.727 --> 00:00:17.230 Let's say this together Say, heavenly Father, I'm so glad to be here in your presence. 00:00:17.230 --> 00:00:35.281 In your presence is fullness, and I've received of your Word and the fullness of it, grace upon grace, favor heaped upon favor, healing heaped upon healing. 00:00:35.281 --> 00:00:42.503 There's no shortage in my life because of the Word of God and the Holy Ghost. 00:00:42.503 --> 00:00:44.524 I don't know everything. 00:00:44.524 --> 00:00:51.450 I remain teachable, and so this Word tonight I receive as fresh and new. 00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:59.768 It's both seed and water, and I'm bringing forth a crop in Jesus' name. 00:00:59.768 --> 00:01:01.271 Amen. 00:01:01.271 --> 00:01:02.232 Thank you, worship team. 00:01:02.232 --> 00:01:02.881 Great job. 00:01:02.881 --> 00:01:03.667 You can be seated. 00:01:03.667 --> 00:01:05.459 Hallelujah. 00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:07.245 Good to see everybody tonight. 00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:21.033 Session number three and tonight I'd like to have us turn in Mark 11. 00:01:21.033 --> 00:01:25.084 We could all probably quote it Mark 11, 23. 00:01:25.084 --> 00:01:37.745 And Romans 4, while you got your Bibles out and you're turning to find the place, mark 11, 23. 00:01:37.745 --> 00:01:42.206 Jesus there in verse. 00:01:42.206 --> 00:01:49.314 Well, I'll start in verse 22. 00:01:49.314 --> 00:02:07.971 Jesus said, and Jesus, answering, said unto them have faith in God or have the God kind of faith. 00:02:07.971 --> 00:02:14.084 I like that rendering a little better have the God kind of faith, the God kind of faith. 00:02:14.084 --> 00:02:15.402 You know, he didn't suggest. 00:02:15.402 --> 00:02:19.366 He said have it, have it, have the God kind of faith. 00:02:19.366 --> 00:02:25.663 For, fairly, I say in you that whosoever everybody shout, that's me, all of us are whosoever. 00:02:25.663 --> 00:02:37.942 Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, be thou cast into the sea, shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass. 00:02:37.942 --> 00:02:41.388 He shall have whatsoever he believe it. 00:02:41.388 --> 00:02:47.887 Well, thank you for one person that caught the mistake. 00:02:47.887 --> 00:02:53.425 Thank God, no, he shall have whatever he saith. 00:02:53.425 --> 00:02:58.050 But people will say well, god, jesus said you can have what you believe. 00:02:58.050 --> 00:03:00.385 No, you can't have what you say. 00:03:00.385 --> 00:03:02.290 You can have what you say. 00:03:02.290 --> 00:03:03.563 Jesus said it, amen. 00:03:04.419 --> 00:03:21.068 And then in Romans, chapter four, the apostle Paul is writing, he's illustrating the life of Abraham and he's talking about how God spoke to Abraham. 00:03:21.068 --> 00:03:22.524 And it says in verse 17,. 00:03:22.524 --> 00:03:32.308 As it is written, god speaking to him I have made thee a father of many nations before him, whom he believed, even God, abraham. 00:03:32.308 --> 00:03:41.070 Abraham believed before God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 00:03:41.070 --> 00:03:47.587 So when God said I have made thee a father of many nations, he was not yet the father of Isaac. 00:03:47.587 --> 00:03:52.390 So, god, call the thing that be, not as though it were. 00:03:52.639 --> 00:04:02.247 So if we're going to have the God kind of faith, we have to get used to calling things that be not, with our natural experience, as though they were. 00:04:02.247 --> 00:04:08.688 And so tonight I want to talk about speaking your way to hell. 00:04:08.688 --> 00:04:11.966 Well, thank God for our covenant. 00:04:11.966 --> 00:04:18.983 We've been talking about our covenant of healing and I wanted to build your faith on assuring you that healing is God's will. 00:04:18.983 --> 00:04:20.730 All the time, every time. 00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:25.562 You never, ever have to wonder if it's God's will to heal you or anybody else. 00:04:28.283 --> 00:04:34.562 And really, when you read your Bible, especially the New Testament, the church has been set against sickness and disease. 00:04:34.562 --> 00:04:40.367 Jesus said these signs shall follow them that believe. 00:04:40.367 --> 00:04:44.043 And it goes through all the things. 00:04:44.043 --> 00:04:48.788 And he says and they, you know, these signs shall follow them that believe. 00:04:48.788 --> 00:04:58.886 Notice it didn't say follow Christians, them that believe they shall lay hands on the sick. 00:04:58.886 --> 00:05:05.387 Notice, not the Christian sick is what I meant to say, not the Christian sick, not, it's the sick. 00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:08.786 I had a guy in full gospel businessmen. 00:05:08.786 --> 00:05:11.928 I'm thankful for my background with full gospel businessmen. 00:05:11.928 --> 00:05:14.166 I had a two track discipleship program. 00:05:14.166 --> 00:05:18.865 I was a disciple in two places Lakewood Church and full gospel businessmen. 00:05:18.865 --> 00:05:28.107 So I had some guys that were my elders in both places and they took me under their wings and I appreciate both tracks. 00:05:28.107 --> 00:05:32.004 But in full gospel it wasn't a church, it's just a bunch of businessmen. 00:05:32.004 --> 00:05:34.107 It's all kind of different flows. 00:05:34.107 --> 00:05:47.264 I mean you had Baptist in fact the president of our chapter was a member of the first Baptist church, you know and so you had all kinds of different outlooks on the Bible and so we were encouraged not to preach, just give you testimony. 00:05:47.264 --> 00:05:49.805 But they couldn't resist it. 00:05:49.805 --> 00:05:56.384 I mean, you know how businessmen are, they get in there and they think they're preachers and they want to preach their doctrine, which was most of the time fouled up. 00:05:56.384 --> 00:06:10.769 I heard one guy, some banker from Midland Texas, and back then it was a big oil town, you know still is, but you know he's kind of a rich banker sitting there in his bank and his things. 00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:13.187 Oh, I never, ever pray for lost people. 00:06:13.187 --> 00:06:22.127 I always get them saved, and then I pray for their healing and I thought, well, boy, if Jesus did that, we, he never would have gotten anybody healed. 00:06:22.127 --> 00:06:23.660 That's right. 00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:24.865 I mean that's not God. 00:06:24.865 --> 00:06:30.845 And in fact you know one preacher here in town great healing minister. 00:06:30.845 --> 00:06:32.584 He said healing is God's dinner bell. 00:06:32.584 --> 00:06:34.322 What's a dinner bell? 00:06:34.322 --> 00:06:36.846 Well, you ring the dinner bell when it's time to eat. 00:06:36.846 --> 00:06:41.569 So there ought to be healing and that attracts a crowd. 00:06:41.569 --> 00:06:43.379 That's right. 00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:46.824 And then in that crowd, after people get healed, then you can get people saved. 00:06:46.824 --> 00:06:56.084 I mean, he had it completely backwards and I knew that it's kind of a baby Christian and I confronted some of my elders about that and they all kind of scratched their head and I said thank God for Lakewood. 00:06:56.084 --> 00:06:58.045 See, brother Osteen taught me better than that. 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:07.889 But my point is that healing is in the church and the church is set against all kinds of sickness and disease. 00:07:07.889 --> 00:07:14.204 And if God is against sickness and disease and unbelievers, how much more is he against it in the church itself? 00:07:14.204 --> 00:07:19.024 I mean there shouldn't be anybody suffering in the church as far as God is concerned. 00:07:19.024 --> 00:07:19.985 Now, do people suffer? 00:07:19.985 --> 00:07:22.363 Yes, people do suffer. 00:07:22.363 --> 00:07:24.220 People have to go through things. 00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:29.684 I don't mean to say you know that you're a second class citizen just because you're going through something, but I want to encourage you. 00:07:29.684 --> 00:07:34.471 It's God's will for you to get out of that and get not only get your healing but be healthy. 00:07:34.901 --> 00:07:49.689 Amen, because the whole church is set against sickness and disease, and so God has given us wonderful ways to get healed laying on of hands as one, anointing with all and the prayer of faith shall so the sick. 00:07:49.689 --> 00:07:52.687 The word in the King James is save the sick. 00:07:52.687 --> 00:07:58.047 Well, the word save is the Greek word, so so it means heal, it means deliver everything. 00:07:58.047 --> 00:07:59.103 It comes with salvation. 00:07:59.103 --> 00:08:14.286 And so if you're in the church and you're you're having trouble receiving your healing and you're you're having trouble, well, get up here and have hands laid on you or call somebody and they'll come and anoint you with all prayer. 00:08:14.286 --> 00:08:16.908 Prayer of faith shall heal you. 00:08:18.523 --> 00:08:33.653 I found in 35 years, a minister and a people and you know here we're in our 25th year in the full time ministry in this church that most people need a joint working of faith. 00:08:33.653 --> 00:08:37.284 They need their faith working and they need the faith of somebody else working. 00:08:37.284 --> 00:08:40.760 I mean, that's just kind of how it is Now. 00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:42.066 Can it be otherwise? 00:08:42.066 --> 00:08:49.269 The reason I'm teaching this is to get us to move into a higher level where we can believe God for ourselves. 00:08:49.269 --> 00:08:54.044 It's not that we mind praying for you, it's just healthier for you. 00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:58.950 If you get to the place, you know just like the. 00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:04.866 You know the, the, the man with the centurion who came to Jesus for his servant's sake. 00:09:04.866 --> 00:09:07.407 And Jesus said I'll come and healings. 00:09:07.407 --> 00:09:10.129 Oh no, you don't have to come under my roof, I'm not worthy. 00:09:10.129 --> 00:09:12.087 Come, just speak the word. 00:09:12.087 --> 00:09:17.530 Only See when you can take the Word of God and beat the devil with it. 00:09:17.530 --> 00:09:22.306 I'm telling you, right now you are really on the edge of indestructible. 00:09:22.306 --> 00:09:24.681 I'm telling you there's not much the devil can throw at you. 00:09:24.681 --> 00:09:30.645 But if you're not there yet, don't feel like you're a second class citizen. 00:09:30.645 --> 00:09:39.081 My goodness, don't get in a situation where you got your nose up in the air and you're too good to have somebody lay hands on you. 00:09:39.081 --> 00:09:40.764 Amen, amen. 00:09:40.764 --> 00:09:48.003 You know in and out of the hospital, in and out, you know, having all kinds of hey, get somebody to help you and get in there with you. 00:09:48.003 --> 00:09:48.798 Are you with me now? 00:09:49.394 --> 00:09:53.566 The prayer of agreement so many ways to receive your healing. 00:09:53.566 --> 00:10:01.260 Twelve out of nineteen of the healing miracles that are listed in the Gospels mention the faith of someone. 00:10:01.260 --> 00:10:06.625 So faith must be pretty important in the area of healing, and of course it is. 00:10:06.625 --> 00:10:12.283 It's not that God can't or won't or hasn't healed people independent of their faith. 00:10:12.283 --> 00:10:23.043 It happens, and sometimes I tell you, god is so willing for people to get healed, you know, many times he just he, just to buy a sovereign act. 00:10:23.043 --> 00:10:25.923 But if you're going to wait for that to happen, that's, that's dangerous. 00:10:25.923 --> 00:10:40.442 And the other end of that I say this often but I mean if you're just going to depend on going to some man or a meeting or a movement to get your healing and you've got to be dependent upon that, well you might, might not get to the right meeting man or movement. 00:10:40.442 --> 00:10:47.063 It's safer for you to believe God and know why you believe in healing. 00:10:47.063 --> 00:10:55.077 It's better because whatever anybody else's faith gets you, you're going to have to, you're going to have to defend it. 00:10:55.077 --> 00:11:01.721 Anyway, when the devil realizes you got healed on somebody else's faith, he's going to bring, he's going to bring back another attack on you. 00:11:02.355 --> 00:11:03.822 I've seen this happen many times. 00:11:03.822 --> 00:11:22.567 I've seen people at death's door and God, through a mighty healing ministry it might be a word of knowledge, it might be a healing meeting, it might be at a healing crusade that person gets healed, you know, and then they just go back to the dead church they came from. 00:11:22.567 --> 00:11:25.038 It doesn't teach healing and then they die of something else. 00:11:25.038 --> 00:11:30.323 I mean you know you, you dodge the bullet, only get run over by the bus. 00:11:30.323 --> 00:11:39.635 Amen, thank you for two old maize and three grunts Now. 00:11:39.635 --> 00:11:41.845 Mutual faith of the minister and themselves. 00:11:41.905 --> 00:11:45.520 But yet at the same time, it, God, is wanting us to come up higher. 00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:45.895 Are you? 00:11:45.895 --> 00:11:46.619 Are you with me now? 00:11:46.619 --> 00:11:55.960 So God's word has provided us a way to create healing and health with our own voice, through faith filled words. 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.097 What you're speaking? 00:11:57.097 --> 00:12:03.886 And the more I study about this, the more I find that medical science agrees with that whole thing. 00:12:03.886 --> 00:12:11.082 They have discovered that people are in better health when they are positive, when they have a positive affirmation. 00:12:11.082 --> 00:12:19.664 Now you can have a positive affirmation and you can actually talk your way into healing and health and and cancer leaves and all that. 00:12:19.664 --> 00:12:23.523 And you can still go to hell because you haven't positively affirmed that Jesus is your Lord. 00:12:25.794 --> 00:12:32.260 And so just because the power of positive thinking means that you know we, we, we just look at everything like it's negative. 00:12:32.260 --> 00:12:33.163 Well, it's not negative. 00:12:33.163 --> 00:12:36.205 At least they, at least they're, they're on the right track. 00:12:36.205 --> 00:12:39.383 If you can get a person like that saved man, you've got to believe her. 00:12:39.383 --> 00:12:41.678 Then they already know it works. 00:12:41.678 --> 00:12:43.481 And that's Donald Trump. 00:12:43.481 --> 00:12:47.341 Donald Trump was raised in a pot. 00:12:47.341 --> 00:12:48.706 Power of positive thinking. 00:12:48.774 --> 00:12:50.400 Norman Vincent Peale church. 00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:58.081 I doubt very seriously he was born again until in the last number of years he met some preachers and they led him to the Lord. 00:12:58.081 --> 00:13:07.399 And I know he's not known as a big, you know church goer and all of that kind of thing, but his, he got solid faith down on the inside of him and he knows what this is all about. 00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.764 And a lot of people, especially you know the left wing, and they all think it's arrogance. 00:13:11.764 --> 00:13:14.097 They think you're arrogant If you say yeah, I'm healthy. 00:13:14.097 --> 00:13:14.860 Glory to God. 00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:20.384 They see everything is negative in this, in this earth. 00:13:20.384 --> 00:13:23.562 The Astros are finding out how negative it is. 00:13:23.562 --> 00:13:33.308 They thought if they just said we're sorry, everybody would just turn handsprings. 00:13:33.308 --> 00:13:35.336 But didn't work out that way. 00:13:35.336 --> 00:13:38.826 All right. 00:13:38.826 --> 00:13:51.339 So we're given supernatural ability to program our minds and bodies to fight and expel disease and to function and health. 00:13:51.339 --> 00:14:00.107 So in Luke, chapter six, let's turn over there real quick. 00:14:00.955 --> 00:14:04.202 Jesus, powerful verses. 00:14:04.202 --> 00:14:08.965 You know, if you read the gospels you find out how Jesus thinks. 00:14:08.965 --> 00:14:09.897 He's always think. 00:14:09.897 --> 00:14:12.563 He always think, thinks like the father thinks. 00:14:12.563 --> 00:14:16.620 He says I only do the things I see my father do. 00:14:18.955 --> 00:14:25.535 Luke 645, a good man out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good. 00:14:25.535 --> 00:14:28.636 Healing is good. 00:14:28.636 --> 00:14:37.918 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth, the Holy Ghost and power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. 00:14:37.918 --> 00:14:41.707 For God was with him, so he brought something. 00:14:41.707 --> 00:14:43.441 He brought something forth that was good. 00:14:43.441 --> 00:14:47.105 So a good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is good. 00:14:47.105 --> 00:14:49.461 You ought to be bringing healing out of your heart. 00:14:49.461 --> 00:14:51.719 Healing, all healing, starts in the spirit. 00:14:51.719 --> 00:14:57.480 It's not external, it's not starting in your body, it starts down in your spirit. 00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:06.464 And an evil man, out of the evil treasure of his heart, bringeth forth that which is evil, for of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaking. 00:15:06.464 --> 00:15:25.436 So you've got to get this word down in your heart, this healing word that we're talking about, and get it in your heart where you bring it forth on a regular basis, not just when you need healing, but you ought to be speaking these words of life on a regular basis. 00:15:25.456 --> 00:15:26.840 Your confession of faith. 00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:30.873 Hold fast to your confession. 00:15:30.873 --> 00:15:36.272 Actually, the word says the profession of faith without wavering, for he is faithful. 00:15:36.272 --> 00:15:36.793 Who promise? 00:15:36.793 --> 00:15:42.655 That's the problem with a lot of folks is that we waver in what we say depending on the audience. 00:15:42.655 --> 00:15:46.991 I like what brother Mark Hankin said. 00:15:46.991 --> 00:15:49.485 God told him about Mark 11, 23,. 00:15:49.485 --> 00:16:01.851 Whosoever shall say unto this mountain in church, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea in church, and not doubting his heart in church, but you'll believe, those things which he saith in church shall come to pass. 00:16:01.851 --> 00:16:04.130 He shall have whatsoever he saith in church. 00:16:04.130 --> 00:16:07.413 And so that's kind of the way it is. 00:16:07.413 --> 00:16:16.822 I mean, isn't it amazing in this atmosphere how easy it is to talk right, but when you get out there it's not that easy to talk right. 00:16:16.822 --> 00:16:21.471 But we've got the train and we need to be more professional in our confession of faith. 00:16:21.471 --> 00:16:24.352 Our profession ought to be professional. 00:16:24.352 --> 00:16:30.313 I mean, how many of you have a certain nomenclature that you have to know in your job, in your profession? 00:16:30.313 --> 00:16:37.544 I mean, if you're a doctor, you've got to know how to tell the nurse to hand you the next tool you're going to use on that surgery. 00:16:37.544 --> 00:16:41.404 I mean, if you're an airline pilot, you've got to know what to tell the tower. 00:16:41.404 --> 00:16:43.485 I mean, everybody that's a professional. 00:16:43.485 --> 00:16:51.871 You've got a certain lingo, a certain professional group of words that you've got to command that or you're not going to be understood. 00:16:53.433 --> 00:16:57.798 And yet then in the things of God, we just let all that kind of go and we just kind of lapse. 00:16:57.798 --> 00:17:00.104 Oh, let's not lapse now. 00:17:00.104 --> 00:17:07.478 Let's get professional in our confession of what the word says about healing and health. 00:17:07.478 --> 00:17:13.545 So, out of the abundance of our heart, see, it's got to get down in your heart. 00:17:13.545 --> 00:17:15.263 It's got to get down in your heart. 00:17:15.263 --> 00:17:19.704 And then, in Proverbs 18, flip over there. 00:17:19.704 --> 00:17:33.664 If you follow my Bible reading plan, you read this yesterday, the 18th day of the month, proverbs 18, 21,. 00:17:34.567 --> 00:17:41.839 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.848 See, so you have. 00:17:43.848 --> 00:17:48.368 It doesn't say the power of the tongue, so you have. 00:17:48.368 --> 00:17:50.715 It doesn't say the power of life and death. 00:17:50.715 --> 00:17:55.192 It says death and life are in the power or the authority of the tongue. 00:17:55.192 --> 00:18:01.073 Your tongue determines, every time you say something, whether there's life associated with it or death. 00:18:01.073 --> 00:18:11.134 So you can speak your way to health and then you can speak properly to keep yourself in health. 00:18:11.134 --> 00:18:11.875 Are you with me now? 00:18:13.664 --> 00:18:17.255 So medical science they're finding this out all the time. 00:18:17.255 --> 00:18:21.471 A few years ago, readers digest. 00:18:21.471 --> 00:18:27.731 They had an article called patient knows best. 00:18:27.731 --> 00:18:30.352 They did a survey of over 2,800. 00:18:30.352 --> 00:18:43.653 I don't know how scientific it was, but 2,800 people over 65, and they asked these people to rate their health as excellent, good, fair and poor. 00:18:43.653 --> 00:18:54.053 And the people who rated their health poor at over age 65 were four to five times more likely to die in the next four years. 00:18:54.053 --> 00:18:57.265 Four to five times more likely to die. 00:18:57.265 --> 00:18:58.530 Why? 00:18:58.530 --> 00:19:01.315 Because they had a poor image of their own health. 00:19:01.315 --> 00:19:05.338 They and they talked about it. 00:19:05.338 --> 00:19:09.145 They talked about it, they rated it poor, poor health, poor health. 00:19:10.609 --> 00:19:20.832 And so you know one doctor who was a endocrinologist I think he was, no, a neurosurgeon. 00:19:20.832 --> 00:19:29.644 He started talking to his patients and he said I want you to start talking to your body Now. 00:19:29.644 --> 00:19:32.733 See, this is outside of the gospel, outside of Jesus. 00:19:32.733 --> 00:19:36.291 This is just the human. 00:19:36.291 --> 00:19:39.269 See, we're made in the image and lightness of God. 00:19:39.269 --> 00:19:51.153 There are certain best practices that every human being, if they would adopt them, it works, because it works for the one that made us Doesn't do much good just to get healthy and then go to hell. 00:19:51.153 --> 00:19:53.191 I understand that, but yet it works. 00:19:53.191 --> 00:19:56.492 And medical science is finding this out all the time. 00:19:56.492 --> 00:20:01.317 They're helping people to have this exercise. 00:20:01.645 --> 00:20:14.045 And so he told his patients, instructed his patients, to tell their pancreas to secrete insulin or to tell their blood pressure to be 120 over 80. 00:20:14.045 --> 00:20:15.510 Well, I do that all the time. 00:20:15.510 --> 00:20:17.771 I do that every night in the shower. 00:20:17.771 --> 00:20:20.005 That's when I choose to talk to my body. 00:20:20.005 --> 00:20:21.971 I go through a whole list of things. 00:20:21.971 --> 00:20:24.491 You don't have to do it, but that's what I do. 00:20:24.491 --> 00:20:30.765 I make sure every night before I go to bed, I just go down the list, just go down the list. 00:20:30.765 --> 00:20:39.744 And so he said this knowledge, that their knowledge about how it works. 00:20:39.744 --> 00:20:49.644 It didn't matter, they didn't have to have a degree in neuroscience, they didn't have to have a degree in all of that, they didn't have to understand the medical force behind it. 00:20:49.644 --> 00:20:50.428 Just do it. 00:20:50.428 --> 00:20:54.184 And he saw an increase in health in his patients. 00:20:54.265 --> 00:20:54.748 Are you with me? 00:20:54.748 --> 00:20:56.289 Now you can have what you say. 00:20:56.289 --> 00:20:58.244 Jesus said that a long time ago. 00:20:58.244 --> 00:20:59.528 He said you can have what you say. 00:20:59.528 --> 00:21:03.173 Praise God. 00:21:03.173 --> 00:21:08.758 So your words are building blocks of life or death. 00:21:08.758 --> 00:21:11.450 Everybody say building blocks. 00:21:11.450 --> 00:21:28.894 The continual affirmation of God's word in faith will literally build into your immune system A supernatural anointing or ability that's capable of eliminating sickness and disease. 00:21:28.894 --> 00:21:35.493 What you say on a continual basis. 00:21:35.493 --> 00:21:36.890 Now you have to believe it. 00:21:37.346 --> 00:21:40.586 Well, where does belief come from Well, the believing comes Really. 00:21:40.586 --> 00:21:46.134 It comes from reading the word, but it also comes from you saying it over and over. 00:21:46.134 --> 00:21:49.442 You know you can talk your way in to believe in something. 00:21:49.442 --> 00:21:51.651 I mean, how many of you know that's true? 00:21:51.651 --> 00:21:55.711 I mean, if you talk yourself, you tell yourself enough time. 00:21:55.711 --> 00:21:58.089 Something is true, you're gonna believe it's true. 00:22:00.525 --> 00:22:10.035 I heard the story of a woman who was absolutely convinced that her husband was having an affair and she had some kind of silly little thing that happened. 00:22:10.035 --> 00:22:28.107 Some woman picked up his phone at work and answered it and she just knew they were having an affair and she told herself that and imagined that and got mad at him and screaming at him and it just escalated and escalated until their marriage just fell apart, all because she kept telling herself she was having. 00:22:28.107 --> 00:22:29.030 Well, he wasn't. 00:22:29.030 --> 00:22:33.113 It was all based on a false imagination. 00:22:33.113 --> 00:22:33.815 Are you with me now? 00:22:33.815 --> 00:22:37.030 Well, if we can do that to the negative, we can do it to the positive. 00:22:37.325 --> 00:22:41.510 The more you talk about health in a positive way, the more you're gonna really believe it. 00:22:41.510 --> 00:22:46.413 Your spirit picks up on it, especially when it's the word, because the word itself is supernatural. 00:22:46.413 --> 00:22:51.526 Jesus said the words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life, you see. 00:22:51.526 --> 00:23:00.034 So when you speak the word on a continual basis, when you first start out it may seem too fantastic, especially when you've got a bad diagnosis or prognosis. 00:23:00.034 --> 00:23:03.615 It may seem like, oh man, this is kind of pie in the sky. 00:23:03.615 --> 00:23:08.049 But the more you say it and it's God's word the more you start to believe it. 00:23:08.049 --> 00:23:09.909 Are you with me now? 00:23:09.909 --> 00:23:11.108 Glory to God. 00:23:11.108 --> 00:23:14.873 You can speak your way, literally speak your way to health. 00:23:14.873 --> 00:23:18.565 I'm not gonna say that. 00:23:18.565 --> 00:23:27.773 Lillian B Leomans was a medical doctor and in her younger days she was just running, you know, a mile a minute, trying to help people. 00:23:27.773 --> 00:23:38.029 She was really a dedicated doctor and she got so tired and worn out that she started robbing the medicine cabinet of drugs and she became a drug addict. 00:23:38.029 --> 00:23:43.612 I mean, she was hopelessly addicted and it started from a good place. 00:23:43.612 --> 00:23:49.270 She wasn't a Christian, just a do-gooder, and she depended on these drugs to keep her going all the time. 00:23:49.270 --> 00:23:58.855 Finally she just cratered and she got saved, she got delivered and I mean God brought her into the most marvelous healing ministry. 00:23:58.855 --> 00:24:03.532 I mean this woman was amazing, the people that she could get healed. 00:24:03.644 --> 00:24:19.193 And so, back when tuberculosis was the rage, I remember my grandmother had to go to a sanatorium when she was a young woman, had to leave her family for six months and be isolated because of tuberculosis. 00:24:19.193 --> 00:24:25.429 I guess that would have been about 1920s, maybe teens, 20s, no, about probably no. 00:24:25.429 --> 00:24:32.637 A little later, 30s, and so Dr Leomans and her sister. 00:24:32.637 --> 00:24:39.688 They had this beautiful home in Southern California that they turned into a place of healing and they would take four. 00:24:39.688 --> 00:24:50.669 They had four bedrooms upstairs and then their living quarters were downstairs and they would take four patients at a time and they only took patients that were basically they were given up to die. 00:24:50.669 --> 00:24:57.071 They were just too far gone for medical intervention and so they would bring them in the house. 00:24:57.071 --> 00:24:59.949 And so she told the testimony of one lady. 00:25:00.964 --> 00:25:09.006 They wheeled in there, put her up in her bed and she went and talked to her a little while and she said now, honey, I just want you to do one thing. 00:25:09.006 --> 00:25:10.494 I want you to read these. 00:25:10.494 --> 00:25:12.020 I'm going to read these scriptures to you. 00:25:12.020 --> 00:25:15.163 And she started reading Deuteronomy 28,. 00:25:15.163 --> 00:25:17.181 You know the blessings and the cursings. 00:25:17.181 --> 00:25:24.359 And she came to the verse where it says you know, and all these diseases that are not mentioned is the curse of the law. 00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:28.443 And then she said now, honey, listen to Galatians 3, 13. 00:25:28.443 --> 00:25:30.942 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law. 00:25:30.942 --> 00:25:36.280 So so, therefore, then you no longer have tuberculosis. 00:25:36.280 --> 00:25:37.203 I want you to say that over and over. 00:25:37.515 --> 00:25:42.538 Say Deuteronomy 28 says that sickness and disease is the curse of the law. 00:25:42.538 --> 00:25:50.819 Deuteronomy 28 says tuberculosis is the curse of the law, but Galatians 3, 13 says that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law. 00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:54.124 Therefore, I no longer have tuberculosis. 00:25:54.124 --> 00:25:56.375 Now, that's what she told her to say. 00:25:56.375 --> 00:25:58.998 Now she can hardly talk, she's so weak. 00:25:58.998 --> 00:26:02.382 And so she said now, repeat it for me. 00:26:02.382 --> 00:26:03.759 Do it again. 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.582 Now, do that. 00:26:04.582 --> 00:26:06.928 Just do that until you fall asleep. 00:26:06.928 --> 00:26:07.498 Just do it. 00:26:07.498 --> 00:26:09.536 Do it all night long, do it. 00:26:09.536 --> 00:26:10.661 When you wake up, do it. 00:26:11.256 --> 00:26:16.453 And so she let her fall asleep and she then she checked on her in the mid and the eight o'clock at night. 00:26:16.453 --> 00:26:17.594 She's still going on. 00:26:17.594 --> 00:26:21.165 She said I'm saying it, but it doesn't mean a thing to me. 00:26:21.165 --> 00:26:22.400 I don't know what she's, what this? 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:23.919 I don't even know what it means. 00:26:23.919 --> 00:26:24.781 What does it mean? 00:26:24.781 --> 00:26:26.459 I don't see, didn't understand it. 00:26:26.459 --> 00:26:33.298 No, understanding mentally, but her spirit, I said, but her spirit. 00:26:33.298 --> 00:26:35.854 And so, all night long. 00:26:35.994 --> 00:26:41.662 And so he checked up on her the next morning for breakfast and she said did you do what I told you? 00:26:41.662 --> 00:26:45.559 I wake up at night and I just kept saying that I've been seeing it all morning. 00:26:45.559 --> 00:27:14.914 She should fed her breakfast by her bedside, wrote her some more healing scriptures and she got back to work, went all the way through the mid afternoon and then about three o'clock in the afternoon her and her sister were downstairs and they heard this commotion upstairs and this clunking down the stairway and they get up and that woman is out of bed and she's coming down those stairs and she said Dr Yeoman, did you know that I have been healed of tuberculosis? 00:27:14.914 --> 00:27:18.106 I no longer had tuberculosis, amen. 00:27:18.106 --> 00:27:23.414 I mean less than two days of just talking, talking her way into it. 00:27:23.414 --> 00:27:28.539 I mean Dr Yeoman's never did lay hands on her and pray over her. 00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:29.403 Are you with me? 00:27:29.403 --> 00:27:33.154 Yes, Come on, let's lift our heads. 00:27:33.154 --> 00:27:34.601 Thank God for the Word of God. 00:27:34.601 --> 00:27:40.869 Now listen, there's all kinds of ways to get your healing and I'm not here to knock any of the ways. 00:27:40.869 --> 00:27:43.515 All the ways are useful at times. 00:27:43.515 --> 00:27:56.295 But I'm telling you, when you get to the place where you can talk right, then you're not dependent on man or a movement or a voice of healing movement or a revival. 00:27:56.295 --> 00:27:57.400 Well, you don't need any of that. 00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:57.595 Why? 00:27:57.595 --> 00:28:02.340 Because the Holy Ghost has already come here and we've already got revelation of the Word. 00:28:02.340 --> 00:28:10.117 Amen, oh my God. 00:28:11.974 --> 00:28:15.586 Brother Hagin talks about another case that he heard about. 00:28:15.586 --> 00:28:21.240 He was often asked to go and pray for people and he didn't always have time. 00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.943 He had a tough schedule, church to church. 00:28:23.943 --> 00:28:40.884 But he heard about a Pentecostal minister, lady, elderly, and she was eating up with cancer, had horrible abdominal tumors and, oh please, she's only got days to live. 00:28:40.884 --> 00:28:44.104 Please, brother Hagin, go by and pray for her. 00:28:44.104 --> 00:28:48.002 And she's a full gospel preacher in her own right. 00:28:48.002 --> 00:28:50.055 She had a healing ministry here. 00:28:50.055 --> 00:28:51.460 She is laid up with cancer. 00:28:52.674 --> 00:29:00.642 So he went and sat next to her and said sister, I tell you the thing that I have for you. 00:29:00.642 --> 00:29:04.325 I have Proverbs 4, 20 through 22. 00:29:04.325 --> 00:29:08.076 My daughter attended my word and climbed down here under my sink. 00:29:08.076 --> 00:29:18.982 Let them not depart from my eyes, but keep them in the midst of thine heart, because my word is life under those that find them in health or medicine to all their flesh. 00:29:18.982 --> 00:29:20.179 That's what I have to give you. 00:29:20.179 --> 00:29:22.541 You just need to attend to his word. 00:29:22.541 --> 00:29:26.803 See yourself well, see yourself healthy. 00:29:26.803 --> 00:29:33.383 Start looking at your itinerary, make an itinerary, make plans to get out of this bed and go preach. 00:29:34.815 --> 00:29:40.936 And he never did pray for her, never did lay hands on her, didn't say, but the Holy Ghost. 00:29:40.936 --> 00:30:01.163 He followed the Holy Ghost and he said you know, a year later he was in a church and these two women came in and he was signing book or selling books in the lobby before the service and these two women came up and says brother Hagin, I know she hugged him. 00:30:01.163 --> 00:30:03.502 Well, that was not quite proper. 00:30:03.502 --> 00:30:06.963 And I mean, his wife is at home with the kids. 00:30:06.963 --> 00:30:08.540 And here's this woman hugging him, you know. 00:30:08.540 --> 00:30:11.243 And he kind of stepped back and said do I know you? 00:30:11.243 --> 00:30:13.362 Oh, brother Hagin, you don't recognize me. 00:30:13.362 --> 00:30:16.904 I'm sister, so-and-so buddy year ago, you can't buy me. 00:30:16.904 --> 00:30:19.121 I had these my stomach way up to here. 00:30:19.121 --> 00:30:20.785 And he said that's you. 00:30:20.785 --> 00:30:23.824 And he said, yeah, boy, they had a hold down in the lobby. 00:30:23.824 --> 00:30:28.903 I mean they got to dancing and shouting and people looking at them like they were crazy. 00:30:28.903 --> 00:30:31.422 She said when you left, that's all I did. 00:30:31.595 --> 00:30:33.583 I just started thinking about the Word of God. 00:30:33.583 --> 00:30:35.561 I started quoting every verse I knew. 00:30:35.561 --> 00:30:37.439 I got my Bible out. 00:30:37.439 --> 00:30:41.123 I could hardly hold my Bible Some days I'd have to have somebody hold it for me. 00:30:41.123 --> 00:30:46.599 And she said when I looked down there I couldn't see my feet, but I just imagined that my stomach was flat. 00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:50.224 I just saw my stomach getting flatter and flatter, and flatter. 00:30:50.224 --> 00:30:54.122 And then I got a piece of paper and I started making an itinerary. 00:30:54.122 --> 00:30:55.902 Who would need my ministry? 00:30:55.902 --> 00:30:59.345 I started listing churches that I had preached in in the past. 00:30:59.345 --> 00:31:04.200 I started making an itinerary and she said in three months I got up and I went everywhere preaching. 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:05.319 I've been preaching ever since. 00:31:05.434 --> 00:31:09.265 Glory to God, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hallelujah, hallelujah. 00:31:09.265 --> 00:31:13.259 I'll tell you the Word works. 00:31:13.259 --> 00:31:15.920 Yes, I said the Word works. 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.661 And I saw if you've heard this before and maybe you've even tried it before. 00:31:19.661 --> 00:31:23.097 But listen, it's not about hearing it before and trying to have faith. 00:31:23.097 --> 00:31:25.759 Come by hearing, not by having heard. 00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.301 So you're hearing it a different way tonight. 00:31:28.301 --> 00:31:34.958 And then, number two this Word is watering what you already know it's watering. 00:31:34.958 --> 00:31:38.103 Don't sell this atmosphere short. 00:31:40.575 --> 00:31:45.521 I think in some times in our and listen, I love the Holy Ghost. 00:31:45.521 --> 00:31:46.859 I love when the Holy Ghost moves. 00:31:46.859 --> 00:31:51.540 I love when it goes, moves by the spirit, the gifts of healing, gladness. 00:31:51.540 --> 00:31:53.602 His hands still burn from time to time. 00:31:53.602 --> 00:31:59.020 We have the gifts and we love when the gifts, but they're not always in the manifestation. 00:31:59.020 --> 00:32:06.719 And what I'm preaching to you is gonna work, no matter what, it's gonna work for you. 00:32:06.719 --> 00:32:29.520 And so I make some times we're guilty in our camp just thinking that when we have a good night in the Word, that somehow we didn't have a good service, that when we're not running around the church, when we're not rolling on the floor, when we're not getting drunk in the Holy Ghost, that we didn't have a good service. 00:32:29.520 --> 00:32:33.240 Well, yes, when the Word goes forth we're having a good service. 00:32:33.240 --> 00:32:42.461 See, we need to really I mean God really put this in my heart recently the glory of the Word, not to do away with the other. 00:32:42.461 --> 00:32:52.259 We need the other and we have the other, but what good is the other if you don't know why you're running, why you're rolling on the carpet? 00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:58.175 Amen, I'm telling you. 00:32:58.175 --> 00:32:59.440 You can speak your way to hell. 00:33:00.694 --> 00:33:14.148 First Corinthians, chapter six, verse 19. 00:33:14.148 --> 00:33:18.517 What Know you're not? 00:33:18.517 --> 00:33:30.421 That your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you're not your own, for you are bought with a price. 00:33:30.421 --> 00:33:38.844 Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, with your gods. 00:33:38.844 --> 00:33:43.561 Glorify God. 00:33:43.561 --> 00:34:00.445 And then in first Corinthians nine, a couple of pages over all, is writing to the same church, in verse 27,. 00:34:00.445 --> 00:34:06.701 He said but I keep under my body and bring it into subjection. 00:34:06.701 --> 00:34:07.392 Whose eye? 00:34:07.392 --> 00:34:10.059 His spirit? 00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:14.000 Paul had that revelation of spirit, soul and body. 00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:20.300 It's the thing that got me out of the ICU Instead of going to the funeral parlor. 00:34:20.389 --> 00:34:26.998 I came back to this church because I had a revelation of spirit, soul and body. 00:34:26.998 --> 00:34:30.297 My soul and my body were sorely afflicted. 00:34:30.297 --> 00:34:37.092
