Hallelujah. Glory to God. Thank you for coming tonight to these uh so important meetings, these healing meetings. And uh they are our Sunday evening service, but they're specific. These are things that the Lord has told us to do and uh to emphasize this healing anointing that the Lord has so graciously graced this ministry with. And uh first of all, I want to welcome everyone watching online. I want to welcome the Kansas location for being with us tonight. God bless you. And we know you're gonna join in as well. We're gonna deal with this subject tonight of the inner workings of healing, the inner workings of healing. And you know, if you're here tonight and you're gonna have hands laid on you, you're believing for God to touch your body. If I can say it this way without oversimplifying this, you have to listen to what the word of God is saying about your healing, the inner workings of healing.

F. Bosworth, who wrote the classic on healing, Christ the Healer, he made the statement. He said, Once you have learned to have faith for healing, you know how to have faith for anything else God provides. Once you've learned how to have faith for healing. Say this out of your mouth right now. God wants me healed. God desires for me to be healed. Jesus paid the price for my healing. Say that again. God wants me to be healed, God desires for me to be healed. Jesus paid the price for my healing. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

L. Osborne made this statement. He said, It is impossible to claim by faith a blessing that we're not sure God offers. Because the blessing of God can be claimed only where the will of God is known, trusted, and acknowledged. Only where the will of God is known, trusted, and acknowledged. Say this the will of God is God's word. When I see it in the word, I see God's will. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. So faith begins where the will of God is known. That's where it begins. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Amen. We don't use that phrase a lot today. Well, is it your will? Is it your will that I do this? Is it your will that I have this? That's kind of an older statement. Does God desire? What is God's desire? We would say today that faith begins where the desire of God is known. If I know what God desires, I can exercise faith for that. Amen. Even a limited reading of the word will reveal that it's God's will to heal. Even a limited reading of the word. Throughout the Old Testament, God revealed Himself as the healer primarily of his chosen people. In Exodus chapter 15 and verse 26, when God brought the people of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, and understand that Egypt is always a type, a figure, a shadow of the world. Throughout the scripture, it's referred to as an image of the world, the sinful world. Pharaoh is always used as an image and a type of Satan, a type of the evil that's trying to keep God's people in bondage. When God brought them out of bondage in Exodus chapter 15 and verse 26, and it says that he brought them to the waters of Marah, and Mara was bitter. The waters were bitter. How many know that sickness and disease in your life is bitter? It causes bitterness. It causes sorrow in your life. There's not one good thing that anybody can say about sickness. Not one good thing. I don't care how minor it may be. I don't care how major it may be. There's not one good thing about a cold. Nobody is lining up at cold and flu season saying, I want mine. Go ahead and give it to me now. Nobody says that. Because what are we doing? We're taking all kinds of things to make sure we're fighting that cold. We're fighting that flu. We're staying healthy. There's not one good thing, it's bitterness, it's bondage. Amen. And it says that God at the waters of Marah showed Moses a tree and told him to cast that tree into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. Hallelujah. Amen. Into the bitterness of our sickness and disease came a tree one day. And on the tree hung the Lamb of God. And the Bible says that he hung there for our sicknesses and our diseases, so our life could be made sweet. Oh, hallelujah. But there at the waters of Marah, he made this statement. He said, I am the Lord that heals you. I am the Lord that heals you. And he uses the phrase the Lord, Jehovah, the eternally self-existent one. Meaning that God here sets himself forever and eternally in the place of the healer of his people. Of everyone that will believe on him. But he says, I am the Lord that heals you. Hallelujah. In Exodus 23 and 25, he made the statement to his people. Hallelujah. He said, You shall serve the Lord your God, and he'll bless your bread and water. And notice, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. I will take sickness away from the midst of thee, and there shall nothing cast their young or be barren in the land. The number of your days I will fulfill. Hallelujah. So if sickness is there, what will he do? Take it. Take it. Why? It's not his will. He has no purpose for it. There's no reason for it. Amen. Deuteronomy chapter 7 and verse 14. Hallelujah. Verse 15. And the Lord will take away from you all sickness. And I will allow none of the evil diseases of Egypt. There's the world again. I will allow none of them that you know upon you, but they will be allowed on those that hate you. Hallelujah. So what did he say? He said, I will take away from you all sickness. All sickness. Say it out loud. God will take all sickness. So see, it doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't matter what you're dealing with. It doesn't matter what may be plaguing your body. He said, I'll take away from you all sickness. Amen. In the Old Testament, you see very few Gentiles healed. You see Naaman the Syrian healed. The widow of Zarephath's son was healed. In the Gospels, we see three specific accounts of Gentiles being healed. Cornelius' servant, the Syrophoenician woman's daughter, and the leper who Jesus said was a stranger, a Samaritan. We see those three healed in the four Gospels. Now, why is this important? These were all foreshadowings of what was going to be made available to all people at some point. At some point. And every one of those Gentiles that were healed in the ministry of Jesus, they were all healed by faith. They had no covenant right. God never promised at that point to be their healer. They were not in that covenant. They had to take it by faith. Two of them, Jesus, said it was great faith. The centurion that came for his sermon, Jesus said, This is the greatest faith I have seen in Israel. The Syrophenician woman, he said, Woman, great is your faith. He told the ten lepers to go to the high priest and show themselves to the priest. But and as they went, they were healed. But one of them, when he saw he was healed, he came back and gave honor and praise to Jesus. And Jesus said, Weren't ten cleansed? He said, Where are the other nine? Why is it that only this stranger came back to give me the praise? The stranger couldn't go to the priest. So he came to the one that was going to be everybody's high priest. Hallelujah. And he and he offered praise and glory to God to our high priest, Jesus. They were all foreshadowings of what was going to be made available at some point. That point was the cross. That was the place that this healing power was made available to all who would believe. Notice that the price was paid. Go to Isaiah 53. I want you to understand that healing for anything begins here. Healing for anything begins here. Isaiah chapter 53. The inner workings of healing. Isaiah 53 and 5. But he, Jesus. Well, let's start in verse 4. It says, surely. He hath borne our griefs. In the Hebrew that means sicknesses. And carried our sorrows, meaning pain. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded. Now notice that's how you have to read it. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement that was needful for us to obtain peace was upon him. And with his stripes, we are healed. In other words, if you're going to be healed, this is how it's going to happen. Hallelujah. So then you ask the question when you're believing for healing, did he receive stripes? Yes, he did. Then that's how I was healed. That's how I am healed. In 2026, this is how you are healed. Because he took stripes on his back. If he did this, I write in every one of my Bibles, if he did this, this is when I was healed. And if he did it, that's when it happened. So healing is not something I'm waiting on. Healing is something that has been paid for. The price has been paid. All of sickness, all of disease was laid on Jesus at that whipping post. It is my job as the believer. It is your job as the believer. And it doesn't matter if you've ever heard about healing. It doesn't matter if you've never went to a church that taught about healing. Can you agree that this is God's holy word? That this is truth. If you can agree that this is God's holy word and God cannot lie, then you can take this verse and say, that's how I'm going to be healed.

unknown 13:17

Praise God.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

It's not what you were taught or not taught. I was raised in an environment that taught that God might use sickness to teach you a lesson. That if you're not careful, God will slap a sickness on you and teach you a lesson real good. I always thought, well, what happens if you die before you learn? Guess you didn't learn. But here's the point. God doesn't have. See, this is important. If any being could pour out sickness on anybody, it could be God. Because God can do anything. Except violate his word. And he said, At the whipping post, I laid every sickness and every disease on Jesus. So he doesn't have any to lay on anybody else. And because Jesus bore it, because Jesus paid the price for it, it's a free gift. It's not something you got to work into, it's not something you got to labor to receive. It's a free gift. It belongs to you. Healing, Jesus said, is the children's bread. Hallelujah. And I've ate a lot of meals in my life. And I've never had one meal that bread was the main course. If you go to somebody's house and they say, What are we having? Hamburgers. Well, there's two buns, but something in the middle. You got bread, but it's not the meal. Oh, hallelujah. Amen. It's the bread. Healing is the children's bread. It's part of the package. It's part of the redemptive package. Amen. It's not a side thing. It's not something that you have to get besides what you've already received. Understand, healing is not an add-on. When you got born again, if you're not born again, you can be born again tonight. But here's the thing: when you were born again, you received a package called redemption. You received a package called salvation, called freedom. And when you opened up the main lid of that package, in that package of redemption was salvation from sin, eternal salvation, eternal freedom from sin. On the other side of that was salvation from poverty, salvation from lack, redemption from not enough. And then in the corner, there was a box that said salvation from sickness and disease and pain and death. I've been made free. It's part of my redemptive right. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Healing is so simple. It just has to be received. Because it's already mine. And there are people you know and I know. They love the Lord, they're saved, they're born again. But if you open up their box of redemption, that healing packet has never been opened. Because they say things like, God can. If God wants to, God can. FF Bosworth said, God would rather you doubt his ability than doubt his willingness. Because if you know he's willing, you can tap into his ability. If you believe God's willing, he will show his ability to you. Because believing God is willing, not God can, believing God's willing. There are people that will tell you God can if he will. God can do anything if it's his will. Jesus took stripes on his back to show you God's willingness. God was willing to punish Jesus so we could be healed. God was willing to cause Jesus to suffer. We'll show you this in a moment. He caused Jesus to suffer so we could be caused not to suffer. He laid affliction on Jesus so affliction could be taken off of us. He caused Jesus to suffer so he could take suffering away from our midst. He caused Jesus to be sick with your sickness so he could take sickness away from you. Hallelujah. So he said, God would rather you doubt his ability than his willingness. Hallelujah. Matthew 8. Beginning in verse 17 and verse 18. It says that they brought all the sick from the city around about Jesus had just healed Peter's mother-in-law. And it says that he brought, verse 16 says that he they brought all the sick and those that were tormented by demon spirits. And it says he cast out the spirits with his word and healed all that were sick. But up till this point, no stripes have been laid on Jesus. How is it that he's healing all that were sick and he's not received any stripes? When that's how Isaiah said, You're going to be healed. Everyone that was healed ever in the Bible was healed on the basis of what Jesus was going to do. God made the decision from the annals of eternity and time that Jesus was going to be the sacrifice for sin, sickness, disease, and poverty. And before Jesus ever set a human foot on this planet, it was already settled in the mind of God. It was already settled in the mind of Christ. It was already settled in the mind of the Holy Spirit. There was no question was Jesus going to go through with his effort. No question was he going to go through with it. In the garden, people have tried to paint that as a picture of Jesus trying to figure out a way out of the cross. He was not trying to figure a way out of the cross. He was praying for the strength to go through with what he knew he had to do. Why? It was already settled. It was a covenant between God and Jesus. He said, You're going to go and you're going to be the sacrifice. You're going to die on the cross. He said, They're going to bury you and you're going to be in the belly of the earth. You're going to be in the place of the dead for three days. But on the third day, I'm going to raise you up. Hallelujah. Why is this so important? Every person that Jesus healed, he healed them on credit. He healed them on what he based on what he was going to do. Amen. That's how listen, we're not healed on credit. We're healed on the finished work. If they could get healed on credit based on what Jesus was going to do, Jesus healed people that never believed in him. They never believed in him and he healed them. Why? They were God's covenant people, and he said, I will send my word and I will heal you. That's why John is very quick to point out, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Psalms, he fulfilled that prophecy. He sent his word and healed them in what? Delivered them. Delivered them. Out of all their destruction. Hallelujah. The Bible says we've been brought into a better covenant with better promises. Why is it a better covenant? Because the object of the covenant, the one that sealed the covenant, is our Lord and Master and our Savior. It's a finished work. Hallelujah. When we read Isaiah 53 and 5, am I helping you?

unknown 22:28

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

T.L. Osborne said, God is bound by his covenant to continue to heal all who are sick and weak in order to fulfill Isaiah's words. God is bound by his covenant to continue to heal all that are weak and sick to continue to fulfill Isaiah's words. Oh, hallelujah. One translation of Isaiah 53 and 5 says, the anchor translation says, but it was our diseases that he bore, our pains that he carried. Do you know? I'm going to make this statement in a moment. John Alexander Dowie made this statement, great healing evangelist. And he got off in his doctrine in the latter days of his life. And like others have said, Brother Hagin and others, you couldn't follow Dowie's doctrine, but you could follow his faith. And he made this statement. Sickness is the foul offspring of its father Satan and his mother sin. Sickness is the foul offspring of its father Satan and its mother sin. It says, it was our diseases that he bore, our pains that he carried. Ours. Another says, but it was our pain that he took, and our diseases were put on him. Another says, but in fact it was our sicknesses he was carrying. Our pains he was loaded with. Whoo, glory to God. Say it out loud, it was my sickness he carried. It was my pain he was loaded with. See, don't expect to go out of here with what you came in here with. Because he already was loaded with it. He was already burdened with it. He already carried it away. Oh, hallelujah. Another translation says, and yet it is now clear that he who we regarded as the special object of Jehovah's righteous wrath was afflicted that we might be delivered from pain and disease. So they looked at Jesus and they said, My, he must have done something horrible. Look at the wrath of God that's been poured out on him. Look at the disfigurement in his body. But Isaiah says, It was our pain and our diseases that God laid on him. Hallelujah. Mine. Say it out loud. He carried my pain. He carried my sickness. See, this is declaring what the Messiah, the anointed one, would do. Isaiah was written five to seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, referencing what he would do. Carry our pain and our disease. Amen. We believe this. This happened. If it happened, I was healed. You see, when hands are laid on you tonight and you're healed, understand what I mean by that. And you see the manifestation, that's not when you were healed. You were healed here. You were healed 700 years before Christ was ever born. We talk about 2,000 years ago? 2,700 years ago, you were healed. Because that's when Jesus took stripes. The promise was made. Am I helping you? What he was going to do was the grounds he healed the sick on. Jesus knew what he was going to do. That was the grounds he healed the sick on. Christ took on himself all of man's infirmities in order to remove them. We talk about God became man to deliver man from sin. When God delivered man from sin, he delivered man from pain and disease. Because sickness is the foul offspring of his father Satan and his mother sin. I've taught on this extensively. You see no sickness, no disease, no pain, no suffering till after the curse of the fall. After sin entered the earth, that's when you see sickness, disease, suffering, and pain. Hallelujah. Say, I'm redeemed, I'm righteous, I'm a child of God. Therefore, I have a right to be healed. Hallelujah. Isaiah 53 and verse 10. Notice it says, Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. He hath put him to grief. When you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. One translation says, It was the will of Yahweh to crush him with grief. Another says, It has pleased Jehovah to crush him with grievous sickness. Sickness is the foul offspring of his father Satan and his mother sin. Sin is the root cause. Now notice I didn't say sin in the life of the person suffering. Sin is the root cause of sickness. No sin, no sickness. No sin, no disease. Why? No curse, no fault. Hallelujah. That's why it pleased, see, that's the cause and the effect. The cause, sin. The effect, sickness and disease. Separation from God. Hallelujah. Do you understand that? Those of us that are connected to God vitally in union with him, we don't have to be sick. It's not his will. I say it's not his will. That's why it pleased. Notice this again. It pleased the Lord, Jehovah, the eternally self-existent one, to bruise Jesus. He has put him to grief. Hallelujah. He crushed him with grievous sickness. So basically, it was the Father's will for Jesus to suffer. It was his will for Jesus to suffer, so it could be his will for us not to suffer. This is so important. That saying it seems so elementary. If he suffered, I don't have to. If he became sick, I don't have to be. When you deal with the source, you can deal with the effect, sickness. But you got to deal with the source. Hallelujah. That's why we can declare we're healed and stand victoriously against it because its source has been dealt with. Jesus dealt with the sin problem. And when he dealt with the sin problem, he dealt with the source of the sin problem. Hallelujah. Look at 1 Peter 2. This is where anything concerning healing begins. You know, in any given meeting, I don't know what everybody believes. I don't know what everybody has been taught. I know what the people that sit in our ministry are taught. But even in these healing meetings, there's a different room. There's a different, there's a different flow. There's a different anointing. I'm not pastoring tonight. I'm ministering healing. And here's what you have to understand. You know, there are those of us that believe, you know, we'll have what we say. And we're very careful to keep our words positive, and we're very careful to keep our words from negative things because we believe what Jesus said. You'll have what you say. And and no one will run around and say, you know, I'm sick. I'm just, uh, my head's killing me. My back's killing me. You know, whatever. Because we've been taught the power of our words. But that same person that would never call themselves sick will say, I don't know why God hasn't healed me yet. That's the same as saying you're sick. If you're not healed, you're sick. What changes what you say is when you begin to focus on what God did to Jesus. Now I can no longer call anything mine. Because it was all laid on Jesus. So for someone to say, I don't understand why God hasn't healed me is the same as saying, I'm sick. When you declare, I'm the healed of the Lord, you're saying, I believe what Jesus did. I believe what happened to him. I believe that it was God's will that he suffered sickness, and therefore it is not God's will that I suffer with sickness. Hallelujah. 1 Peter 2 24, it says, Who in his own body, his own self, bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sin should live unto righteousness, by whose stripes you were healed. Isaiah says you are, updates it, that's how we are healed. Peter says you were, meaning when this happened, that's how you are healed. And in every one of the verses that it talks about Jesus healing our bodies, it also talks about him dealing with the source. What Jesus bear in his body to the tree, it says here, our sins. What else did he bear to the tree to pay the price? See, sickness is not a sin. But that's where it came from. And through thousands of years of wrong teaching and thousands of years of erroneous gospel, people have somehow come to the idea that God might have a reason for it. And it might be something that God will unleash on you. I'm part of a men's group, and they send out emails, and a brother sent out, he called it a prayer request, but here is what he said. And this is not a criticism, it's just it shows you where some people are at with this. He said, brothers, I would like your prayers. He said, Our loving Heavenly Father has saw fit to allow me to suffer with cancer. Our loving Heavenly Father has saw fit to allow me to suffer with cancer. Evidently, he believes I'm strong enough to carry it. Our loving, you hear me, and you hear me well. If you've ever watched anybody die from cancer and you think your loving Heavenly Father allowed that, you need to go serve another God. Because if the God we serve would put that disease on people, I don't want anything to do with Him. Don't question God's will. I don't question God's will. I know God's will because I've read the book. I don't have, I never question God's will. It never crosses my mind. Could this possibly be from God? If God is good and God is love and God is mercy and God is grace and God is our Father and our loving Heavenly Father, He has nothing to do with sickness. So never question your loving Heavenly Father and say, Why hasn't He done this for me? Somebody died. So you wouldn't have to be sick. It's never a question of why has God not done what He said? That's never the question. Never the question. Father, what do I have to do to receive everything you bought for me? What do I have to do to receive it? What do I have to help? What do I have to do? Oh, hallelujah. He personally, the Amplified Bible says, He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross. For by his wounds, you who believe have been healed. Say out loud, I'm a believer. I'm healed by the stripes of Jesus. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. He dealt with the cause so he could deal with the effect. I say he dealt with the cause so he could deal with the effect. Creative things are going to happen in here tonight, and things that they say need to be corrected shall be corrected, and they shall be brought to a place of rightness, and they shall be brought to a place of completion. And you shall see that even that that has tried to hang on for a period of time will be released and be removed from you, and you shall see the effects of it within two weeks, saith the Lord. Hallelujah. I thank you, Father. So he dealt with the cause so he could deal with the effect. And those things, even those things the Lord says, that they say are inherited, that they say are in your genetics, that they say are just part of things that are passed down from family member to family member. Yes, the Lord says that might be true to the natural man, but you're not a natural man or a natural woman. You are those of the Spirit, and you are those bought by the blood, and you are those bought by the Spirit of God. And yea, says the Lord, the curse has been reversed for you, and I've turned the curse into a blessing. So anything that you could have inherited from your natural mother or father has been abolished, done away with, and destroyed, says the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Doesn't run in my family. Doesn't run in my family. Why? We used to sing the song in church. You remember this song? I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God. Washed in the Spirit, washed in his blood. Join us with Jesus. Right? I'm part of the family of God. Naturally, I'm part of the steel family. But the blood of Jesus severed all ties to any curse that runs in the family of the steels. Because what trumps the steel family is the family of Christ, the family of God. And Ephesians says that we are all named by that name. That name of Jesus is the family name. In the Spirit, my name is Philip Jesus. Your name is Ed Jesus. I didn't say we were Jesus. That's the name of the family of God in the earth. And Jesus isn't sick. He became sick for you, but he's been healed for over 2,000 years. And you've been healed for over 2,000 years. Am I helping you? Look at Galatians 3. Say this out loud. When hands are laid on me, I will receive the manifestation of my healing. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Galatians 3 and 13. Christ has redeemed us. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Why? Being made a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth upon a tree. What's the rest of the next verse? So that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise that the Spirit made by faith. Hallelujah. Why did Christ redeem us? So the blessing could come upon us. He's specifically referencing the curse of the law. The curse of the law is found in Deuteronomy chapter 28. The first 15 verses of Deuteronomy 28 outline the blessing. You diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and do that which is right in his sight. All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you. You'll be blessed in the city and blessed in the country and blessed in the field and blessed in your basket and blessed in your store. Blessed will be the fruit of your body, the increase of your kind. You'll be blessed going in and you'll be blessed coming out. You'll be blessed in your down sittings and you'll be blessed in your uprisings. Verse 16. But if you refuse to diligently hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God and do all those things that He commands you, all these curses will come on you. Is that what it says? And for the next over 50, 60 verses, it outlines the curse. Every sickness that you can find is under the curse. Everyone. Everyone. Tuberculous, tuberculous, tuberculosis, heart disease, bad eyesight, dementia, Alzheimer's, arthritis, fevers, inflammation, organ disease. It's all under the curse. It's all under the curse. Why? There's nothing good about it. Nothing good. I had a lady that came to our church. And when she would come to the church, she came on Sunday nights. And when she came in, I didn't know her. And she she was just sick. You could tell she was sick. And I I will say this because of the anointing on our ministry. I knew what she was sick with. I knew she was sick with cancer. I knew that. And her husband would bring her. And then she would come on Sunday nights. And you could see, you could see her countenance lift. Because we always preach and teach strongly on healing. And you could see her countenance lift. You could see the joy of the Lord come to her. You could see her feel better. Then she would go and be gone for the week, and Sunday nights she would come and she would be back in that same state. And man, we we'd preach the word of God and she would get full of energy and color would come back to her. I found out something. She was a friend of a lady that was coming to the church. And here's the issue. This lady that was coming to the church with her still goes to the church, still a member of the church. But here's the thing: she contracted cancer in a bad way, a bad way. And she had to stand for over three years. But she stood and received her healing. And so, but here's the thing. I found something out. This lady that was coming, she would go back to her church on Wednesday, Sunday morning, Wednesday. And she told her pastor what she was learning at our church. And her pastor, her pastor, looked at her and said, You need to be careful trying to get rid of something that God may be using to teach you a lesson. And he said to her a second time, you need to make sure that cancer is not God's will before you try to get rid of it. Now we hear that and we think, oh my goodness. Listen, folks, the largest percentage of the Christian world believes that. We don't think that because the circles we're in don't believe that. Hallelujah. Most Christians that you know that are outside the circles of faith, they get diagnosed with a deadly disease, and here's what they'll say: Y'all pray for me. If it's the Lord's will, he'll heal me. They're already behind. They were behind when they got diagnosed. There was no word there to answer anything with. There was nothing that rose up in them, said, No, you don't. Because Jesus carried this for me. Amen. Nothing there. And now they gotta try to figure out, is it God's will? And if they can get there before they die, they hope that something will change. I'm telling you, this is God's will for your life. And you should immediately shut down anything that says it's not. God has no purpose in sickness and disease. Galatians 3.13, we read it. The one translation says, Christ bought us to make us free because God punished him on our behalf. God punished him on our behalf. Another translation says, He freed the guilty from the curse, changing our guilt into innocence and our curse into a blessing. Another says, because of what Jesus did, the blessing of God promised to Abraham was given to all people because of what Jesus did. Hallelujah.

Lillian B. Yeomans, who taught mightily on healing, her sister wrote a little song and it went like this. It went, I'm not under the curse, I'm not under the curse, for Jesus has ransomed me. For sickness, I have health, for poverty, wealth. Because Jesus has set me free. Say it out loud. I'm not under the curse. I'm not under the curse. For Jesus has ransomed me. For sickness I have health. For poverty, wealth. Since Jesus set me free. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The cause of the curse has been dealt with. Look at Deuteronomy 23 and 5. Deuteronomy 23 and 5. Hallelujah. Praise you, Master. And it shall come to pass, and you shall see, and it shall be manifest in this place and in this church. And you shall see, many will come, and they'll come in the wheelchairs, and they'll come on the crutches, and they'll come immobile, and they'll come with no hope given to them, and they'll come with weeks to live, and days to live, and months to live, and you shall see them get out of the wheelchair, and you shall see them get out of the stretcher, and you shall see them come with the stench of death on them, but leave with the fragrance of the life of Christ. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Deuteronomy 23 and 5. Notice what it says. Nevertheless, the Lord wouldn't hearken to Balaam. But the Lord your God, what'd He do? Read it out loud. What did he do? He did what? He did what? He turned the curse into a blessing. Hallelujah. When did he do that for us? On the cross. He turned the curse into a blessing. The cause of the curse has been dealt with. Therefore, I have a right to walk free from the effect of the curse. Hallelujah. Charles Caps made a statement one time that revolutionized my life. He said, God cannot say no to something he's already said yes to. Cannot. Cannot. I've had people say to me, well, you know, if God chooses to use sickness, you know, that's that's his business. If you believe that God can choose to use sickness, you need to understand his will. You have, let me say this before we pray tonight. You have to attack sickness. See, people have misunderstood me over the years. Here's the thing. I don't ever wake up and not feel well, and the first thought I have is I need to go to the doctor. I don't ever think that way. The first thought I have is attack it. It's not that I'm against going to the doctor. Amen. But most people, most believers, they run to the doctor and then they spend two days in bed. They feel better. They didn't attack it. And that's why sickness keeps coming around. Because that person doesn't just slap it in the mouth. There's times you get up, listen, I'm helping you tonight. I remember. I remember when I settled this fact, Isaiah 53 and 5. I remember when I settled this. I got up one morning. We were living in a little rental house in Kansas City, Kansas. Decades ago. And I got up and Brother Ed, I was just sick. There wasn't no two ways about it. I didn't feel good. I didn't look good. I didn't sound good. And I told my wife, I'm going to work. So I got ready, got in the vehicle, went to work. I was there for a couple hours. My manager came and she said, you know, I appreciate your effort, but you, it's evident you don't feel good. You just need to go home. I said, okay. So I went home. And on the way home, I made up in my mind, I'm not going to go crawl up in that bed. I'm not coming home and missing a day of work and lay up in bed and act like it's okay. You hear me? Let me come over here where they believe me. She was shouting a minute ago. Amen. Right? I still remember, I still remember the color. This was the 90s when you know everything was uh uh uh technicolor. And we had a technicolor chair in our living room. And I remember somebody had just given me a brand new Thompson Chain reference Bible. And I went and I sat in that chair and I opened it up to Isaiah 53 and 5. Now you do however you want to do. And I raised my hand to the Lord. I said, I'm not getting out of this chair until I'm healed. I'm not doing this no more. Not doing this no more. Your word says right here that by your stripes I'm healed. It took six hours. Six hours. I sat there and declared Isaiah 53 and 5 for six hours. Sickness got ran out of my life then. Because I learned something. I don't have to give in to it. Got quiet. You got to attack sickness. You got to attack sickness like you would attack an intruder trying to come into your home. Because there's nothing good. It's bringing nothing good. Say out loud, sickness is bringing nothing good into my life. Amen. Hallelujah. Do you hear what I'm saying? And even when you go to the doctor, you don't go to the doctor as the sick trying to get better. You go as somebody that's healed by the power of Jesus. Are you with me? Why do we attack it? Because a horrible price was paid. A horrible price was paid so I could be free. Now let me finish here. And you don't just attack the big things. You attack the cold, you attack the allergies, you attack the sinuses, you attack, you attack what people call minor things. It's all the curse. It's all the devil trying to put something on your life. And I, for one, don't want his filthy hands on me. Amen. Amen. He's filth from the pit of hell. He has nothing good to bring into your life. Amen. He's a liar and a murderer. Everything that he does has to do with your destruction. And I'm not going to snuggle up with it. I'm not going to just be okay with it. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_00 54:15

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. You have something. Go ahead and grab that microphone. Come on up and give it. Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_01 54:49

Don't think. Don't ponder. Don't wonder. Just receive. Don't ask. Just receive. For in the receiving, the power flows. Because as you begin to declare what I say in my word, and you begin to receive by faith, you step into another realm. You step into the spiritual realm. You step into that realm of communication in the spirit, in which I can convey to you those things that I desire, and you can convey to me your heart. And in doing that, you see and you understand and you know the greatness of what I'm bringing into your life. And you shall see that the latter part of this year, the latter part of this 2026, will be full, not just of goodness in the clicheic sense, but you shall see that the things that have tried to plague your life, they shall not be there any longer, says the Lord. And you shall find that the joy of the Lord truly is your strength, and you shall have a better back end of the year than the beginning was, and you shall see the greatness and the goodness of God. Oh, hallelujah.

I know that you received healing as well in that location. All of you watching online, God bless you. Hallelujah. Praise God. How many here you are prayed for and you know, you just know you can, you can, and and when I say this, you just know something happened. Something, something occurred. You can tell. You can tell. Amen. I believe that. Amen. Hallelujah. I believe that. Let's stand on our feet, shall we? Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. Let's say the vision tonight before we go home. The vision of this church is to build people's faith and frame their world by the word of God, raising up a spiritual production center, producing life. City, state, nation, and world. You and I will always be world changers. God bless you.
