unknown: This is a big big bit, thank you, baby.
SPEAKER_01: This is Pastor Philip Steele, and I want to welcome you once again to the Faith Builders broadcast.
SPEAKER_01: I am so glad.
SPEAKER_01: Matter of fact, overjoyed that you've chosen to join us for this edition of our broadcast.
SPEAKER_01: We've been talking uh on this subject about healing assured.
SPEAKER_01: And before we get into today's program, I want to invite you and your family out to Faith Builders Church right here in the great city of Little Rock, Arkansas.
SPEAKER_01: We are at 116 Rainwood Road, right here in Little Rock.
SPEAKER_01: Our service times are Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.
SPEAKER_01: and uh Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m.
SPEAKER_01: And we have uh different uh Sunday evening services dispersed throughout the month as well.
SPEAKER_01: Uh we are a full service church.
SPEAKER_01: We have ministry for every area of your family, all the way from uh babies all the way up through uh teens and students where your children are concerned.
SPEAKER_01: Uh we have elders' ministry, uh, we have women's ministry, men's ministry, and we're just a Bible-believing, faith-building congregation that believes God will do what he said he would do in his word.
SPEAKER_01: We love Little Rock, we love Arkansas, we love our city, and we love our state, and we believe that God has not just called us to build a church, but he's called us to build a church to reach a city.
SPEAKER_01: Come and join us, 116-20 Rainwood Road, right here in the great city of Little Rock, Arkansas, where Jesus is building his church.
SPEAKER_01: We left off on our last program talking about how the word does not leave a person in uncertainty.
SPEAKER_01: Over the years in the healing ministry, I can't tell you the number of times that I've dealt with people and they were just uncertain about what the will of God was.
SPEAKER_01: I've known people that just blatantly did not know it was God's will to heal them.
SPEAKER_01: I've known people that were not sure it was God's will to heal them.
SPEAKER_01: I've had people that thought maybe God was teaching them something with sickness and disease.
SPEAKER_01: But here's the understanding that you must gain.
SPEAKER_01: If God received any glory or joy out of sickness, it would be implicitly written in his word that it was God's will for you to be sick.
SPEAKER_01: Because the will of the word of God never leaves you in uncertainty.
SPEAKER_01: It always leaves you with certainty.
SPEAKER_01: The word of God makes this concerning the salvation of your soul, your eternal soul.
SPEAKER_01: It says, anyone that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
SPEAKER_01: Now that's certain.
SPEAKER_01: Anyone, any man, any woman, any boy, any girl, no matter what race they are, no matter how old they are or how young they are, if they call on the name of the Lord, they will be saved.
SPEAKER_01: That's certain.
SPEAKER_01: And so when you called on the name of the Lord, you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus was Lord, you were born again.
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely, certainly, with no doubt and no question.
SPEAKER_01: And all you have to do is go back to the Word of God where it says, if you will believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, you shall be saved.
SPEAKER_01: That's how certain it is.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Well, a scripture like James says, is there in James chapter 5 that says, Is there any sick among you?
SPEAKER_01: Let him call for the elders of the church.
SPEAKER_01: Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil.
SPEAKER_01: Now watch.
SPEAKER_01: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
SPEAKER_01: Now see, there's no room for uncertainty there.
SPEAKER_01: The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
SPEAKER_01: In Mark chapter 16, Jesus said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel.
SPEAKER_01: He that believes and is baptized shall be saved, he that believeth not will be condemned.
SPEAKER_01: In my name, you will cast out devils, you will lay hands on the sick.
SPEAKER_01: Now watch, and they shall recover.
SPEAKER_01: Now I've had people say, well, he didn't say all the sick would recover.
SPEAKER_01: But notice, the certainty is this: if I lay hands on the sick, at the very least, the potential is there for them to recover.
SPEAKER_01: I realize the one having hands laid on them has a responsibility.
SPEAKER_01: But you cannot mix the words of Jesus up.
SPEAKER_01: He said, Lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
SPEAKER_01: It never leaves you in a state of uncertainty, where healing or any other subject is concerned.
SPEAKER_01: And so we read Matthew chapter 8, verse 16 and 17.
SPEAKER_01: And it says, When the evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils, and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick.
SPEAKER_01: Now, for what reason?
SPEAKER_01: That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses.
SPEAKER_01: Himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses.
SPEAKER_01: Now that does not mean that Scripture was fulfilled in its entirety right there.
SPEAKER_01: It means that Jesus was healing people based on what he was going to do, based on credit, all right, for what he was going to do, and that the sacrifice of Jesus was going to fulfill that prophecy.
SPEAKER_01: Now Jesus does not change, cannot change, is the same.
SPEAKER_01: So it is an oversimplification, but it bears being said that if he was healing all then, he's healing all now.
SPEAKER_01: Because he cannot change.
SPEAKER_01: He's the same.
SPEAKER_01: 1 Peter 2 and 24 says, who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins, should live under righteousness by whose stripes you were healed.
SPEAKER_01: Now we touched on this briefly in our last broadcast, but I want to touch on it again.
SPEAKER_01: The words bear our sicknesses are just as much a part of the gospel as who in his own self bear our sins in his own body to the tree.
SPEAKER_01: That's just as much a part of redemption as freedom from sin.
SPEAKER_01: Alright?
SPEAKER_01: One was not accomplished without the other being accomplished.
SPEAKER_01: One of those was not completed without the other being completed.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Everyone is not sick in their bodies.
SPEAKER_01: Everyone is in need of Christ.
SPEAKER_01: When I receive Christ, whether I need healing or not, provision is made for it.
SPEAKER_01: Whether I need it or not when I'm born again, provision is made for it.
SPEAKER_01: But here's what I know without fail.
SPEAKER_01: I will need the provision that has been made.
SPEAKER_01: Whether it's just for what we would call something simple, a cold, the flu, allergies, or for something more menacing, cancer, sugar diabetes, heart trouble.
SPEAKER_01: You know, I would be remiss if I didn't say, and I've seen all of those healed, instantly healed and changed by the power of God.
SPEAKER_01: Because the provision was already there.
SPEAKER_01: By faith, you tap into the provision that's already put back.
SPEAKER_01: God calls himself our father.
SPEAKER_01: The Bible says a good father or a good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children.
SPEAKER_01: God is a good father.
SPEAKER_01: When he saved you, there were already accounts with provision for everything that you need in them.
SPEAKER_01: Faith is the debit card, if you will, that uh that that accesses everything that the Father has already provided.
SPEAKER_01: There's no more healing that has to be put in your provisionary account.
SPEAKER_01: All the healing you will ever need is already there.
SPEAKER_01: I can build my faith to receive whatever I need from God whenever I need it.
SPEAKER_01: I just have to access it.
SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is so important.
SPEAKER_01: So when you were born again, you accessed that eternal salvation part of your redemptive account.
SPEAKER_01: But my brother, sister, there are other parts of that account that are available.
SPEAKER_01: Healing, prosperity, victory, victory in your mind, victory in your family.
SPEAKER_01: All of these things are available.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: If uh, and everyone knows about Amazon today and and uh UPS, and you know, it's it's it's the easiest way to receive things.
SPEAKER_01: But here's how I the Lord showed this to me.
SPEAKER_01: He said, Imagine the uh Amazon driver comes to your house, and he used my father as a reference because when I was growing up, my father's favorite Christmas gift was uh there used to be a store.
SPEAKER_01: I forget the name of the store, uh, but it was it was in a lot of malls, and what it did was it sold boxes, and in the box it had summer sausage and cheese and crackers.
SPEAKER_01: It was something like old hickory farms or something like that.
SPEAKER_01: Hickory Farms is what it was.
SPEAKER_01: And uh uh, but that was my father's favorite Christmas gift because he, I don't think the man ever ate a vegetable in his life.
SPEAKER_01: He's in heaven today, uh, but he sure enjoyed a beef stick and summer sausage.
SPEAKER_01: And and but the Lord brought that back to my remembrance and showed me all of those compartments.
SPEAKER_01: And he said, When you got born again, that box, that redemption package was delivered to you.
SPEAKER_01: And he said, When you opened it up, there are different compartments.
SPEAKER_01: There's salvation for your eternal soul, your spirit, you being born again, the new creature compartment of that package.
SPEAKER_01: If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.
SPEAKER_01: Old things are passed away, all things are become new.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to God.
SPEAKER_01: So salvation.
SPEAKER_01: There is victory in that package, and then he showed me healing in that package.
SPEAKER_01: Now, if you get that redemptive package, you're gonna open whatever compartment that you're aware belongs to you.
SPEAKER_01: The healing is there, it belongs to you.
SPEAKER_01: If you're born again, it is yours by covenant right, it is part of the family trust of the family of God, is healing.
SPEAKER_01: It belongs to us.
SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01: Jesus, who the Word of God says was our substitute, bore both our sins and our sicknesses.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: So we could be delivered from both of them.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: Now, I remember years ago hearing Kenneth E.
SPEAKER_01: Hagin make a statement.
SPEAKER_01: He said, uh, you need to not so much preach about what you're against, you need to preach on what you're for.
SPEAKER_01: He said, people need to know what you're for.
SPEAKER_01: And so I'm I'm prefacing this next statement with that, because you'll hear people say, Well, I'll either get healed here or in heaven.
SPEAKER_01: Did you know you won't be healed in heaven?
SPEAKER_01: Because this physical body, if you die before the rapture of the church, is not going to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: Your spirit's going to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: Your spirit's not sick.
SPEAKER_01: Your spirit has no trace of the curse in it or on it.
SPEAKER_01: It's the body that's sick, not the spirit.
SPEAKER_01: Now, why is this important?
SPEAKER_01: Because it leads people to believe wrong.
SPEAKER_01: Well, I'll either be healed here or in heaven.
SPEAKER_01: No.
SPEAKER_01: God's will is for you to be healed here.
SPEAKER_01: There's no need to be healed in heaven.
SPEAKER_01: There's no sickness there.
SPEAKER_01: You cannot be healed in heaven because there's no sickness.
SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01: If I die before the rapture of the church, my body will go to the ground.
SPEAKER_01: My spirit will go to heaven to be with Jesus, with God.
SPEAKER_01: And then at the rapture of the church, my body, the Bible says, will be raised incorruptible.
SPEAKER_01: It will never be able to be sick again because it will be perfect.
SPEAKER_01: So whatever is wrong with my body, if I'm sick or diseased in my body, it's not going to heaven.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to get healed in heaven.
SPEAKER_01: God's will is for healing on the earth.
SPEAKER_01: See, the reason that's so important is it weakens my stance about healing.
SPEAKER_01: You know, one of our children one time, uh, you know, each child is different.
SPEAKER_01: And we had one of our children that if uh she got to the place that if you told her, now listen, because of what you did, I'm gonna take this certain thing away from you for two weeks.
SPEAKER_01: She got to where she'd go, I don't care.
SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
SPEAKER_01: That was her way of dealing with it.
SPEAKER_01: All right?
SPEAKER_01: Trying to make it ineffective.
SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, at one point she got to where she didn't have much in her room because she didn't care if we were taking it.
SPEAKER_01: But when she started losing things, she started caring about it.
SPEAKER_01: All right?
SPEAKER_01: Here's what I'm trying to get you to see.
SPEAKER_01: When when you say, when a person says something like, Well, God will either hear me here or in heaven, it lessens my expectation.
SPEAKER_01: How can I exercise my faith when I'm saying it's either here or in heaven?
SPEAKER_01: No, it's here on the earth.
SPEAKER_01: All the promises of God are for people on the earth.
SPEAKER_01: That's why, that's why you should say all the time, I am the healed of the Lord.
SPEAKER_01: It is God's will that I be well and healed and whole.
SPEAKER_01: I am cancer free, I am heart trouble free, I am diabetes-free, I am pain-free in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: You're enforcing what belongs to you based on what you received in the redemption package.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to God.
SPEAKER_01: In Psalm 103 and verse 3, it says, regarding God who forgives all your iniquities.
SPEAKER_01: Notice, and heals all your diseases.
SPEAKER_01: And even though that was written somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 years ago or so, it still brings it up to the present.
SPEAKER_01: Who healeth?
SPEAKER_01: We could say who is healing?
SPEAKER_01: All your diseases.
SPEAKER_01: So, what did David specify?
SPEAKER_01: Forgiveness and healing.
SPEAKER_01: So I didn't get one without the other.
SPEAKER_01: One is more readily evident because when I was born again, it was instant.
SPEAKER_01: And for many people, the change was felt instantly.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: But healing was given in that package at the same time.
SPEAKER_01: I say healing was given in that package at the same time.
SPEAKER_01: There's an illustration that I heard many, many, many years ago where this is concerned, and it was this you don't buy a pair of shoes and the tongue of the shoes separate.
SPEAKER_01: The tongue comes with the shoes.
SPEAKER_01: I heard Dr.
SPEAKER_01: Bill Winston one time make a uh, he was preaching, and he said he was standing at a food truck that he likes to go to in the Chicago area, and he said there was a lady in front of him, and she ordered a uh a meal.
SPEAKER_01: And uh when they brought her the meal, it was in a bag, obviously food truck, and and she opened the bag and she was looking through the stuff, and she looked at the menu and then looked in the in the bag, and then she looked at the person, she said, uh, do bread come with this?
SPEAKER_01: The menu says bread comes with it.
SPEAKER_01: Do bread come with this?
SPEAKER_01: And and he preached that whole sermon on do bread come with this.
SPEAKER_01: The Bible says, see, here's the point.
SPEAKER_01: Healing is the children's bread, the children's bread.
SPEAKER_01: So, yes, in answer to that question, bread do come with your healing, with your salvation.
SPEAKER_01: Healing is the children's bread.
SPEAKER_01: Everything you don't get forgiveness and not receive provision for healing.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to God.
SPEAKER_01: In Proverbs chapter 4, verse 20 through 22, the writer says, My son, attend to my words, incline your ear to my sayings, do not let them depart from your eyes, keep them in the middle of your heart.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: They are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
SPEAKER_01: Life and health.
SPEAKER_01: But notice the word of God cannot be health to body or soul, or life to all of our flesh before it's heard, before it's received, before it's attended to.
SPEAKER_01: He said, attend to my words, incline your ear to my sayings, don't let them depart from your eyes.
SPEAKER_01: Now notice, this is not just a lot of physical action that you're taking.
SPEAKER_01: All right?
SPEAKER_01: You're not looking at these things and making a formula out of them.
SPEAKER_01: He's showing you how to get the word into your heart.
SPEAKER_01: Attend to the word.
SPEAKER_01: In other words, pay attention to it.
SPEAKER_01: Pay attention to it.
SPEAKER_01: Every scripture you can find on healing, pay attention to it.
SPEAKER_01: This is what the word of God says on healing.
SPEAKER_01: The Lord told me years ago, he said, you must do the bulk of your.
SPEAKER_01: He said this, first of all.
SPEAKER_01: He said, if you want to learn about healing, you've got to study the gospels in depth.
SPEAKER_01: The four gospels.
SPEAKER_01: He said, because the ministry of Jesus Christ is the will of God for all people for all time.
SPEAKER_01: Study the four gospels.
SPEAKER_01: So when you study the four gospels, what do you see?
SPEAKER_01: Jesus healed them all.
SPEAKER_01: All that came to him were healed.
SPEAKER_01: The only people that Jesus could not heal were people that wouldn't believe.
SPEAKER_01: And we only see that one time in the Bible.
SPEAKER_01: One time is that statement made.
SPEAKER_01: He could do their no mighty work because of their unbelief.
SPEAKER_01: All the other instances are multitudes came to him and he healed them all.
SPEAKER_01: All right, so what am I doing?
SPEAKER_01: I'm attending to that.
SPEAKER_01: I'm paying attention to that.
SPEAKER_01: Jesus, if I was there in that multitude dealing with what I'm dealing with in my body, you would have healed me.
SPEAKER_01: And you're the same yesterday and today and forever.
SPEAKER_01: You cannot change and you cannot lie.
SPEAKER_01: So I'm a candidate.
SPEAKER_01: I lift my hands and I believe I'm healed in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to God.
SPEAKER_01: So he said, you have to attend to it.
SPEAKER_01: You have to incline your ear to it.
SPEAKER_01: In other words, you gotta lean in.
SPEAKER_01: You gotta lean in.
SPEAKER_01: If you've ever told one of your children, hey, hey, look, pay attention to me.
SPEAKER_01: What are you telling them?
SPEAKER_01: Incline your ear to me.
SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to get your attention here.
SPEAKER_01: Don't let them depart from your eyes.
SPEAKER_01: If you're dealing with sickness today, your job is to get healed.
SPEAKER_01: Make that your profession is to get healed.
SPEAKER_01: On your job, over your lunchtime, whatever it is, 30 minutes, an hour, whatever it is.
SPEAKER_01: Write the Healing, well, listen, in the day and age that we live in, all you have to do is type in healing in your Bible app, and you'll get three or four or five or six pages of healing scriptures.
SPEAKER_01: But the way I began doing it was write those scriptures out on three by five cards.
SPEAKER_01: Keep them with you.
SPEAKER_01: Go over them on a consistent basis.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: Because what are you doing?
SPEAKER_01: You're keeping them in the midst of your heart.
SPEAKER_01: You're keeping them there.
SPEAKER_01: The word of God is life to those who find it.
SPEAKER_01: Life.
SPEAKER_01: Healing, wholeness.
SPEAKER_01: If I want to receive life from the Word, I've got to take the time to find the scriptures that promise those results.
SPEAKER_01: I've got to be where it's being taught and be where it's being ministered.
SPEAKER_01: I have to show up where I'm being taught that I'm free from the curse of the law, that sickness and disease is not my covenant right, that healing and wholeness is my covenant right.
SPEAKER_01: And if I could say this, and it has to be ministered regularly.
SPEAKER_01: It's not something that you just minister on occasionally.
SPEAKER_01: It has to be something that's consistently ministered on.
SPEAKER_01: Why?
SPEAKER_01: Because the curse that's in the earth is always working.
SPEAKER_01: You don't have to do one thing to cause the curse to work.
SPEAKER_01: It's working right now.
SPEAKER_01: Now I can stop its working in my life because I'm redeemed from the curse of the law.
SPEAKER_01: But here's my point.
SPEAKER_01: If the curse is always working, I want the blessing always working.
SPEAKER_01: So what do I say every day?
SPEAKER_01: The blessing of the Lord is upon me.
SPEAKER_01: The favor of God surrounds me like a shield, and today something good is going to happen to me.
SPEAKER_01: So that means I'm not expecting to be sick.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not expecting to be diseased.
SPEAKER_01: I'm expecting to be well and whole.
SPEAKER_01: You have to consistently do this.
SPEAKER_01: We attend to God's word by not allowing it to depart from our eyes and keeping it in our hearts.
SPEAKER_01: We don't allow it to depart from our eyes.
SPEAKER_01: When a farmer puts a seed in the ground, he doesn't dig it up every day to see how it's doing.
SPEAKER_01: No, what does he do?
SPEAKER_01: He says, I'm glad that's settled.
SPEAKER_01: The seed's in the ground.
SPEAKER_01: And he believes that the seed has begun to work.
SPEAKER_01: We have to have the same faith in the imperishable seed of the Word of God.
SPEAKER_01: If I've planted it, it started working.
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to dig it up every day to see is it working?
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's working.
SPEAKER_01: Right now, the word of God is working mightily in you.
SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_01: There used to be a song.
SPEAKER_01: Charles Capps would come on the radio to that song.
SPEAKER_01: The word is working mightily in me.
SPEAKER_01: David Engel's song.
SPEAKER_01: The word is working mightily in me.
SPEAKER_01: Right now, the word of God is working mightily in you.
SPEAKER_01: If you heard it, it's working mightily in you right now.
SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01: Psalm 119, verse 50 says, This is my comfort in my affliction.
SPEAKER_01: For your word has quickened me.
SPEAKER_01: Glory to God.
SPEAKER_01: You should say that right now.
SPEAKER_01: This is my comfort in my affliction because your word has quickened me.
SPEAKER_01: Your word has quickened me.
SPEAKER_01: Glory be to God.
SPEAKER_01: Right now, just reach out and touch your device or touch your television, wherever you're watching, however you're watching.
SPEAKER_01: Father, we thank you that the Word of God is quickening your people right now, that it's bringing health and wholeness and completeness into their bodies in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: I thank you, Father, right now for that tangible healing anointing flowing into their bodies and making them every bit whole in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: I thank you for it, and I praise you for it in the name of Jesus.
