Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. Have you received something during these services this week? Hallelujah. We're grateful. We've been teaching in the previous evening services. We've been going to the topic called faith is a discipline and we need to attention to our faith. Why is that? Because faith is the currency of heaven. If we're going to receive from God, it takes faith. You heard Pastor Jay Eberly last night. He was talking about all things that belong to us are already given. So it's not about getting God to give anything. It's all up to our skill of receiving. And you have to receive by faith. And so faith is the currency of heaven. That's why you need to pastors, you need to make sure you're teaching your people faith, that they have a steady diet of faith because that's the only way they can live healed. That's the only way they can live prosperous. That's the only way they can keep their marriages intact and their children on course. Because it takes faith in God for these things to flow. And we need heaven's prayer participation. And it's faith that opens the door for heaven to participate in our lives. Amen. And so faith is so, so important. To have faith that's flourishing, we have to have a faith that's growing and skillful. So we have to employ faith disciplines. We won't arrive at a strong, robust faith accidentally. We arrive there on purpose. You see someone who is extraordinary in their profession, they studied long. They, they, they followed a course of study. They didn't just randomly get up and just study this book, study that book, jump from here, jump to there. There was a prescribed course of study so that they would know where they would arrive at the end of it. Faith is the same thing. There's a prescribed. There are prescribed truths regarding faith that we have to become skillful at so that we can arrive at a robust faith that skillfully receives and cooperates and moves with God. Amen. We've been looking at Hebrews chapter 11, verse 6 is kind of our golden text in referring to this. Hebrews 11, verse 6, it reads, but without faith, it's impossible to please him all. And doesn't that phrase just tell us right there, make faith an emphasis in your life. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is and must believe that he is a rewarder of them that look at this diligently seek him. So how many of you know, he's talking about a life of consistency when it comes to our faith life and to a life that pleases him. God is not hard to please. He tells us what pleases Him. Amen. And it's faith. Amen. If the disciplines of faith falter, our faith will falter. So sometimes we think, well, I just need more faith. I need more faith. We'll then become more proficient with the disciplines that affect our faith. Amen. We must be skillful with our faith so we can be a partaker of what he's already made ours. It's a sad thing to have something but not know how to partake of it. To not have skill with our faith is like a starving man standing outside the window of a bakery. He sees it, but he can't access it. And so we don't want to just see in the Word what belongs to us and not know how to make it work for us, how to make it work for our family. And then people get upset with God because they can't make it work. Well, because we have to learn our part. God can't do our part, but he has spelled out what our part is in the Word and it's going to involve disciplines on our part. Don't you know that God has disciplines on his part? Absolutely. He is true to His Word. He fulfills His Word every time he hastens to His Word to perform it. Amen. He has disciplines regarding his own Word. Amen. That he fulfills. So real quickly, we touched on looking at the foundational disciplines of faith involves knowing the law of faith. What is the law of faith? Mark 11:24 tells us the law of faith. But believe it with your heart, say it with your mouth. Believe it in your heart, say it with your mouth. Faith has to be in two places. It has to be in your heart and in your mouth. For it to be in your mouth, it also has to reach your thoughts. Faith does not reside in your brain, in your mind, but you still have to have faith thoughts. Your spirit has word and your mind needs to be fed the word. Amen. So we have faith in our heart, but it has to also be in our mouth. These are the disciplines of faith. Well, I just, you know, I just don't think it's that important. It doesn't matter if you think it's important. It's a discipline of faith. It has to be employed. Amen. The next thing we referred to about foundational disciplines of faith is walking in love. We can't just live any way we want. Say any old thing we want to say, go anywhere we want to go and behave any way we want and think that our faith is going to work. The discipline of our daily life has to be brought in line with the Word. Amen. And what part of the Word, the love word. Amen. Walking in love. I've said this to our congregations, to our congregation. When I pastored for 25 years, God said something to me. And early on he said I was teaching on prosperity in the church. He said, you need to back up teaching prosperity, he said, because until you first teach them how to walk in love in their home, they don't qualify for Bible prosperity. Why? You got to get on love's territory to receive the flow of love. And prosperity is the flow of love. That's one flow of love. Amen. And so we have to become scripture in walking in love. I've told our congregation, before you get in that fuss and fight with your spouse, ask yourself, do I have enough money to fund this strife? Because once I get into strife, the flow of blessing is cut off. The flow of prosperity is cut off. God cannot bless that. Does God withhold prosperity? No. But when we step into strife, we just stepped out of the flow of love. And his flow of prosperity can't reach us outside the flow of love. So when people think they won their fight, what did you really win? What did you really win? We all have to check ourselves, don't we? Yeah. There's nothing that will cut off receiving health, prosperity, peace, your children's well being, like getting in strife in your home, it is a destroyer. Well, praise the Lord. These are part of the disciplines of faith. What's this mean? I'm not permitting that in my home. The staff knows you get into strife. I will fire you the moment you get into strife if you don't correct yourself. Why? Because I'm not going to allow somebody else to bring in a flow that hinders what we can do for God. You're going to have to deal with yourself. You're going to have to be a doer of the Word. Amen. There's no room for strife. No room. You can't give it any room. If you lay down your authority and not deal with someone who's in strife, you have no idea what it's costing you in many ways. Amen. That's something we don't play with. We don't play with it. That means we have to deal with ourselves so we don't bring strife to the settings God would put us in. Amen. We don't allow it in the local church. We just don't allow it. We find out about it. We help people get right or we help people leave one of the two, because you're not going to wreck the place. I can't leave. Every single person that walked through our doors can leave. I can't. My family can't. And I'm not going to let someone who can leave wreck the place. I've got to stay. That's just the way I think. Amen. So that means I don't just let people behave any way among the family. We love one another. We allow people room to grow up as they're being taught. We give them room. We give them room. We're not hard nosed. We're not, we're not judgmental. We're not critical. But we will judge wrongdoing. Amen. We will deal with things. We will deal with things. And you must run your home that way so that the disciplines of faith can flourish and you can receive with a faith that is not bogged down and clogged up with all kinds of strife going on around the dinner table, going on, talking about the boss, talking about relatives, all that kind of stuff. It's going to cost your faith something. Yes, it is. And there's going to come a day we're going to need a miracle and we've got to have our faith in place and healthy and, and ready to move with God and not impeded by getting our way through natural things that we've allowed in our home. People will say, well, I just don't deal with that. I'm keeping peace. False peace is not peace. Just tap dancing to someone who's trying to control and manipulate a situation is not peace. And there are some parents that are afraid of their children. There are some people that are afraid. There are some that are afraid to say, you're not talking that way in my house. You're not talking that way about my church. You're not talking that way about my pastor. I've seen what happens to families who permit that. I'm trying to teach on faith. Quit pulling me this way. But these are the disciplines of faith that you have to discipline your conversation. You're not complaining about this, you're not complaining about complaining about that. No local church is perfect. Why? Because imperfect people are there. So we're not looking for perfection. We are looking for us to be hungry for the same thing, for the Word. And we're growing together. We're growing together. And I'm not going to push you down while you're trying to grow. I'm saying that's the way congregation members fault finding and criticizing one another is pushing someone down who's trying to grow. We lift people up. We lift people up. That doesn't mean we're gullible, but it does mean we're not going to add to conflict in our church family. We only bring peace. People do not realize how dangerous it is to their health and to their children's health and to their finances and to their marriage to do nothing but bless the local church. You cause problems in a local church and it is so dangerous, I can't begin to tell you all the stories and testimonies. The thing is, is that what happens. People do something that damages that local church, speaking against leadership, speaking against other congregation members and causing problems. And they do that freely. And then about two years later. Two years later. See, the devil doesn't want him to connect the dots. So he waits until there's a space of time so that they think they're two distinct events when they are singularly connected. Yes. Amen. Amen. Amen. It's so true. It's so true. So this is part of the discipline. I will not allow in my home someone speaking against the body of Christ. That's right. I won't allow my home somebody speaking against my pastor. Is my pastor perfect? No pastor is. But I tell you what, your pastor loves you more than your unsaved employer. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. Amen. Amen. Why? Because your pastor is here to try to help. Help. Help. Help us to know God better so we don't find fault with the place God put us. Amen. Praise the Lord. Happy face, happy face, happy faces. Listen, why do I say this? Not everybody's been told the danger of this. Not everybody's been told people think, in my house I can say what I want. Not when you belong to Christ, you can't. No, you can't. You cannot. Well, I pay the bills in this house. Who bought you? That's good. Who bought you? Jesus bought us. Because he is the loving master, the loving Lord. Amen. So it does matter. These are disciplines that affect our faith life. So walking in love. Walking in love. The next thing we were talking. I didn't mean to stay that long on that. Oh, dear. I've got. I've got. What is it? 22 pages? No, that's okay. I come into Jesus the heater filmings with anywhere from 80 to 120 pages every time. So you're getting off light on 22. We won't get to all of them tonight, but they're there. Then the next thing is a forgiving heart. I tell you what, if you want your faith to flourish, you gotta be quick to repent and quick to forgive. Quick to repent. Quick to forgive. Quick to repent. Quick. Quick to forgive. How do you get good at that? Practice it. Practice it. Amen. Well, wouldn't we like to go back? Maybe come watch Jesus the heater. And we'll get on it and stay on it for a while. We've talked about disciplines of faith. That includes, these are foundational things that we just touched on. But there's also the discipline of feeding our faith, the discipline of feeding our faith, the discipline of releasing faith and receiving from God. Then the discipline of holding fast. What is that? Maintaining what you have received from God. So these are all disciplines. As we said last night, how we treat the Word will determine how sweet our life is. If life is difficult, how are we treating the Word? Go back to that. How we treat the Word is not just, oh, I admire it. I appreciate it. But I get it in me. I'm treating the Word as it is, my life. His words are life. Amen. So when I found his words, I ate them. I ate them. So how we treat His Word in the daily diet? By feeding on His Word and keeping it. Letting His Word govern our actions and keeping our thought lives in line with the Word. Just because no one knows what we're thinking doesn't mean we're authorized to think it. Because God knows what we're thinking. And what we're thinking is going to find its way into our hearts and it will show up in other ways. This is part of the disciplines of faith, how we treat the Word. We're doers of it. We're doers. Anything before, when we're faced with any circumstance, any situation, we're to ask ourselves, what does the Word say about this? What does the Word say about this? I'm going to respond in line with the Word yes. Instead of flying off the handle and just doing, going, reverting back to the way we've always done something first, let's catch ourselves, what's the Word say about this? And we're going to let that Word govern us in our responses. Amen. We have to practice this. This is a discipline of faith. Amen. We have to give the Word first place, not our feelings. Did you get that? Most people put their feelings first. You hurt my feelings. I'M done with you. You hurt my feelings. I'm going to go after you. No. The Word gets first place, not our feelings. Amen. Hallelujah. Then with that, be disciplined to base everything on the Word. Don't just base your believing on the way you were raised. Just base your believing on what you might have been taught in another church. Because all pastors are growing. All pastors are growing. I mean, dad Hagin, he said, don't go back to my old, old recordings. He says, I've gotten further light since then. It doesn't mean he was in error. It just means. Means we've gained more light. And so we also learn how to better say things right. All of us are. Give your pastor room to grow. Don't expect perfection. I would say to this in my congregation, give me room to learn. Because I'm giving you room to learn. And there's more of you than me. And that means I'm giving all of you room to learn. There's only one. You're giving me room to learn. Give us room to learn. Amen. Give us room to learn. Because we all have to learn to base our believing, our actions, our words, on the word of God. Smith Wigglesworth made this statement. This book is my heavenly bank. I find everything I want in it. This book is my heavenly bank. I find everything I want in it. What's that mean? I base everything on the Word. Everything gets based on the Word. I remember there was a general in the faith that had made a statement, and I just got up and repeated what they said. And after that service, God said, what scripture are you basing it on? I said, I'm basing it on that general. He said, think about it. Is it scriptural? And I go, no, but it sounded good once I checked it. I go, no, it's really not. You can't just get excited about something and call it truth. Go back to the Word. Go back to the Word. It might sound good, it might thrill people, but go back to the Word and keep it correct. Dad Hagin taught us this. Learn to use Bible terminology. Don't use terminology that is not scriptural. For example, don't call a pastor a life coach. I'm not a life coach. Why? Jesus didn't give gifts of life coaches to the church. He gave gifts to men, apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers. Don't let popular terminology leak into your understanding of the Word. You will get off course. You will get off course, and then you'll start treating your pastor like a life coach. Rather than a man of God sent with God's answer in his mouth for your life. And you won't. People don't take correction from a life coach the same way they do they should from a pastor, because a pastor is a divine office. You see what I'm saying? How people flip into terminology that's not scriptural. Go back to the Word. What do you have to do to be scriptural? Have scripture. And if you don't have a script scripture for it, you got no business believing it, trying to make it work, trying to confess it. And a preacher's got no business preaching it. He sent His Word and healed them. He didn't send popularity. He didn't send popular things that people gravitate toward because it's mental candy. He sent His Word and healed them. You can't get healed on everything you hear, but you can get healed on His Word. Then in that spiritual discipline, the discipline of feeding on the Word, learn to find the place in the Word. Don't just repeat everything by memory. Find the place. Find the place. Find the place it talks about in Luke, chapter 4, verse 16, talking about Jesus. He came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. People say, I don't need a church. I don't have to go to church to be like Jesus. Yes, you do. He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day as his custom was. As his custom was. People say, I don't have to go to church to be saved. You have to go to church to be like Jesus. That's right. You can get born again and not ever come to church and get beat around in life. Yeah. Amen. But to be like Jesus, you got to be where he went. That's right. Isn't that good to know? Aren't we glad God let us know that the Word that took on the form of flesh showed up at church, went to church. Jesus carried his Father Flesh to the church. If there's anyone who could have dismissed services, going to church, having a local church, it would have been the Word. But even the Word couldn't, when the ford put flesh on it, had to go to church to stay the Word. So he came to Nazareth where he had been brought up. And as his custom was. Boy, I meant to be sweeter tonight. Pastor, you cleaned it up on Sunday, would you? And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah and When he had opened the book, he found the place. He found the place. He found the place where it was written. He was the fulfillment of this scripture. But even the one who fulfilled it and embodied it would not proceed without finding it. Yeah. Why it matters that the Word goes into our eyes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's right. Proverbs. Yes, it is. Proverbs 4. Attend to my word. Incline thine ear unto my soul sayings, let them not depart from before thine eyes. It doesn't talk anything about memorization. There's nothing wrong with memorizing the Word, but it's not a scriptural term. Know that Memorization is not a scriptural term. Why? That deals solely with the mind. You've got to get this Word in your heart, not just in your mind. Meditation is what the Word speaks of. What is that? That's how you drive the Word into your spirit. Memorization doesn't mean it's in your spirit spirit. It means it's in your mind. Now, it might help you to memorize the Scripture so that you can meditate on it when you're in a place that isn't favorable to pulling out a Bible. But you don't think memorization means it's in you. Because the real you is not your mind. Your mind might know it, but it's got to be in your spirit before you can spend it and get results. Praise the Lord. Jesus did not try to quote this verse from memory. When they brought him the book of the prophet Isaiah. He didn't say, buddies, I'm the fulfillment of this. You don't got to hand me that. I already know this. No, he took it. He found the place where it was written, and he read it. Because it had to go in his eyes, his ears, and his heart. How did he do that? He had practiced. How did he know that was him in the Word? He had been finding it with his eyes before that day. Amen. So in connection with feeding on the Word, is this other thing we just mentioned? Meditation. The discipline of meditating on the Word. Because this plays into a discipline of feeding on the word. Joshua 1, chapter 1, verse 8. If you don't know this verse, you need to take note of it. This book of the Law shall not depart out of thy mouth. What's that mean? It just needs to be your lifestyle. You're speaking the Word. It doesn't mean that every answer is a scripture. It means every answer lines up with Scripture. It depicts Scripture. Amen. Yes. You can answer things in line with the Word. I'M just talking about is someone talks to you. Be normal, answer back. But our answer should have it. Our answer should be governed by the word Amen. It's not saying you can only speak in terms of scripture. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth. But we do have to have scripture in our mouth too. It's both. Right. This book, the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. Look at the this. Day and night. What's this speaking of? Lifestyle. Lifestyle. So how do we meditate day and night? He just told us in the previous verse, have it in your mouth. Have it in your mouth. Have it in your mouth. So meditation involves your mouth. Thou shalt meditate therein day and night. That thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous. It doesn't say, God's going to make your way prosperous. It says, you're going to make your way prosperous. And then thou shalt have good success. Notice God's not mentioned in this verse. The devil's not mentioned. We're mentioned five times. The Word's mentioned three times. So basically, he's saying, what you do with the Word is going to determine your success. This verse is the law of success. This verse is the law of success. Say it, think it, do it. That's the law of success right there. Amen. To the degree that we meditate in, the Word is the degree we will have success. Meditation of the Word is connected to wisdom. Now let me sit. Let me tell you why. Amplified classic translation. It says, this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night. That you may observe and do according to all that's written therein. For then you shall make your way prosperous. And then you shall deal wisely. Then you shall deal wisely. Wisely. And have good success. So how wise someone conducts their life goes back to how much they meditate in the Word. Because when you can't meditate in the Word and take on God's thoughts and make stupid decisions, right? We've all made stupid decisions. Like, what was I thinking? We weren't. How many times did it. Parents, what were you thinking? Yeah, dad Hagin made this statement. It's to be noted. The most spiritual people I ever met are those who meditate in the Word. Now, this is a man who knew a lot of people, leaders in the body. And he said those who were most spiritual Were those who meditated in the word. Amen. Brother Copeland made this statement. When something looks impossible, meditate on the word regarding that need. Meditation turns the impossible easy. Amen. I like this. Jerry Savelle. Now this is. You find this in the Amplified classic translation where you see this word. I don't even know how to say it right. S E L A, H. Selah. Selah. He said, when you see that word, because us English speaking people go, selah. That doesn't mean anything to us. It means stop and meditate on this. Get this in you. This one don't read past stop. Pause here, tells you. Pause here. Get this one built in you. Amen. Now, another discipline we've talked about, the discipline of feeding on the word. This one, the discipline of releasing faith and receiving from God. Anytime we need something from God, it is God's power that does the work. But it's also our faith. God's power does not move in the earth independent from our faith. I'm talking about in our life. Regarding our life, for God's power to get movement. Our faith is involved. It's his power. But it's our faith. His power. Our faith, his power, our faith. Isn't that what Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood? Your faith has made you whole. In other words, your faith allowed this power to go in and change your body. It was your faith that opened the door for my power to go in. It wasn't just power alone, because no one else in that crowd received anything. When power was walking among them called Jesus. He was walking among them, power was moving among them. But there was no faith being released in anyone through anyone except this woman. And when her faith came into contact with God's power, she got her need met. Yes. Amen. So it's not enough that there's power available to us. We must employ our faith. And can I tell you this? No one can release faith. Your faith for you. You're the custodian. We're all the custodian of our faith. I love what Pastor Debbie said today. We were having lunch and she said, this is a responsibility gospel. We have responsibilities because religion puts it all on God. But she said, this is a responsibility gospel, and a lot of people don't like that. But we want it to be a responsibility gospel because then we can make it work anytime we need it. We don't have to wait for heaven to do something because we can employ our faith in heaven. We'll meet it every time. Praise the Lord. So Jesus said, so be it done unto you according to your faith? He did not say, so be it done unto you according to my power. He did not say, so be it done unto you according to my power. He said, so be it done unto you according to your faith. So when it comes to us needing something, it requires our faith. You've heard me say it in previous services. What is our faith? It's giving God permission. It's opening the door to the power of God. God is a perfect gentleman. He will not come in uninvited. Not only that. You remember, I think it was brother Joel that read last night. I think when he said, the heavens are the Lord's, but the earth he's given to men. So we as men have to invite. Because we have the authority, we have to invite him in. Plus, the honor of God is so great, he will never force his way in uninvited. His honor will not let him. His Word will not let him. Amen. So your faith is saying, God, come in and do what you want your power can do in my life. How easy is that? Right? Hallelujah. Our faith has to be mixed with his power because that's what activates his power. In our life, power always meets faith. If power isn't flowing, then we're invited to release our faith. Amen. Know this. Faith comes by hearing. Isn't that right? Faith comes by hearing. Faith does not operate by hearing. You better get that one. Faith comes by hearing. Faith does not operate just because you heard it. You do not release faith by hearing. You don't release faith by hearing. Faith comes when you hear. But now the action is faith comes, then you release it. You speak it or you act on that. That's how you release faith. Faith is silent. Until your words say something, your faith is unheard by heaven. Until you say something, your faith is unheard by devils. Until you say something, it's not enough that it's in there. Your faith in your spirit is not saying a thing until you open your mouth. All we're doing when we're feeding on the Word is storing faith in. We're drawing faith in. We're making deposits into our faith bank, but we have to make withdrawals to benefit from having the faith. Faith comes by hearing. But don't just think, well, I'm listening to the Word all day long. I don't know why nothing's changing. Because it doesn't operate by hearing. It comes by hearing. But it has to be spoken active on to get that faith that came out. So hearing is not A complete cycle with faith. You hear it, it comes in, you speak it, it goes out. Faith is not to come in and not go out. Faith is to come in and go out. Come in, go out, come in, go out. Amen. Not leak out, but speak out that you on purpose assign where that faith is spent. Amen. So it's released through what we say and do. And we don't just have moments of speaking faith. It's a lifestyle we must give ourself the spiritual habit of. Every day we're releasing our faith saying, father, I thank youk. Your power is working in me. I thank you that the supply of God is moving in my life. Don't wait until you can't pay a bill. Say it all the time. Just make it a way of talking about his goodness flowing in this way, make it part. This is a discipline of faith, building these words into your conversation. Instead of sitting around the dinner table saying, I just don't know. I mean, it's against getting worse, honey. I mean last month we just couldn't make ends meetin is just. I mean we can't even find the ends this month. And just people sit around the dinner table and they talk the problem and then they talk it again at the next dinner table and they just hash and rehash it. We've got to put disciplines of faith in place, not disciplines of the flesh. Or that if I could say this, the lack of discipline of the flesh, just running our lives. Disciplines of faith on purpose. Amen. Another thing to know in the releasing of your faith and receiving from God is you have to ignore the clock and the calendar. If you're going to constantly be checking how long is it going to take? When is my money going to come? When is this going to change? We, through faith and patience inherit the promises of God. And if the clock or the calendar unsettles you, God's going to give you more time to practice. Because it's more important that we learn to be untroubled by time passing. If the troubling of time, if the passing of time troubles us, we need more practice. Does God delay? No. It's just that when we are occupied with the clock and the calendar, we're showing God we're not fixed on your word. We're fixed on something out here. When people put deadlines on God, they're not in faith. Faith doesn't care about a deadline. Now don't misunderstand me. If a deadline is imposed upon you, God can meet. God will meet that deadline. But if we impose a deadline on God. Why? Because we want it now. We don't want to wait. We don't. We're not in faith because faith doesn't care about how long. Faith cares about believing God and not coming off that. Not coming off of that agreement with his word. Amen. Faith is only occupied with what God says. When you're believing God for a miracle, you don't have room for anything but what God says. You don't have room for the clock, you don't have room for the calendar. Amen. You have to just be completely focused. This is what God said. This is what God said. Then another thing of discipline of faith is don't limit God to the instantaneous appearing of something. Because even if something is working gradually over time, it's still supernatural. People think that faith isn't working if it doesn't instantly appear, if the pain doesn't instantly go, if the money doesn't come by tomorrow, faith isn't working. That's not true. And that's not script. Scriptural. Amen. Can God do things instantaneous? Absolutely. Does everything happen instantaneously? No. No. You know, there are some things that God has said ages ago that still haven't come to pass that he's waiting on. Amen. What about this? The precious fruit of the earth, the last day harvest. He's talked about that since the earliest prophets, and it still hadn't come to pass. Why? Because he's not living by the clock in the calendar. Well, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Another thing with the discipline of faith is this. Many are waiting for God to heal them and he's waiting on them to perform the act of rest. Receiving. They're waiting for God to give them an answer and he's waiting on them to perform the act of receiving. What is the act of receiving? Mark 11:24. What things ever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them. How do you perform the act of receiving? Father, I believe I receive healing into my leg. Father, I believe I receive the money I need for that bill. Father, I believe I received the revelation I need about my. About the plan of God for my life. Father, I believe I received the wisdom I need to handle this family problem. That's you have to perform the act of receiving and then he fulfills that performance. Amen. Hallelujah. This is a. This is discipline of faith. Just so much of the time people are waiting for God to drop something on them and he's waiting on them to perform the act of receiving and then not coming off of that, not backing off of that. Amen. Then real quickly, let's look at the discipline of confession. The discipline of confession. Because that's part of releasing your faith and receiving Hallelujah. Hebrews chapter three, verse one. It says, wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our profession. That word profession is also confession. It means the same thing. Who. Consider the apostle and high priest of our profession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to him that appointed. So Jesus sees to it that our confession of the word is fulfilled. That's his job as high priest. When we confess something, his job as high priest is to see to it that that confession is fulfilled and comes to pass. Now, if we're not confessing something, we've not given him anything to fulfill. Amen. Well, I need it. It's not enough to need it. He is the high priest of our confession. He's not the high priest of our need. Amy, what is our confession? It's faith released. Faith released. He's not even the high priest of our faith. Did you get that? He's not even the high priest of our faith. He is the high priest of our confession, our profession. What is that? Faith that's released is what he's the high priest of. Until faith is released, he's got nothing to fulfill. Amen. So when we confess it, we're giving him something to do in our behalf. Hebrews 10, verse 23 says this. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. Without wavering. Without wavering. It doesn't say, let us hold fast the profession of our feelings, the profession of our circumstances. But let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. We must hold fast to our confession. Because circumstances many times look like they're not changing. It looks like this isn't working. It looks like nothing's happening. So we hold fast because we're continuing to give our high priest something to fulfill. If we only say it once, we're not that interested. It was in October of the year. Grant would have been about 5 years old. Stephen was about 14. In October of a year, Grant started saying a certain game that he wanted for Christmas. Every time he walked in the room, he. He said, mom, I want such and such a game. I got in the car with him and he labeled the game. He said, I want this game. He told me every character. He told me what they did. I said, baby, I'm sure it's fun, but you don't have to tell Mama all That just so long as you enjoy it, you know? But he went through the steps every time. Why? Because how much detail he gave showed how interested he was. Very good. Very good. Every time he got in a room with me, he talked about it. And he knew in the car I was held captive. My, my, my. I heard about that game. Day end, day out day. I said, baby, I heard you. I heard you. He acted like, I don't care that you heard me. We're going to talk it again. And he just. Everybody, every day. October, November, December. Do you think he got it? He sure enough got it because he was interested enough to keep talking about it. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Our talk level shows heaven our interest level. So in November of that same year, Stephen was. He's at the age where it's hard to know what these kids like at 14, right? They don't just want the little toys anymore. And so I started asking him, what do you want for Christmas? Oh, I don't know. I'll think about it. I said, sounds like to me you're abundantly blessed if you got to think about it. I never had to think about it. You asked me, day, I still don't have to think about it. I got lists. Amen. Amen. And they just got bigger. But I'd ask him and he, I don't know. I'll think about it. So I asked him several times through November. I don't know. I'll think about it. He came in December, and about a week or so before Christmas, he walked in and Ed and I were sitting in the family room, and he says, I know what I want for Christmas. I want a snowboard. And I want all the, you know, all the gear with it and everything. And Ed turned to me after he walked out. He said, you want to get in that? And I said, no. He said, well, you've been asking him what he wants. I said, he only said it once. He doesn't want it that bad. He doesn't want it that bad. He just conjured up something. You got to be smarter than your kids. Come on, parents. He didn't get it, and he never asked about it. He never mentioned it again. If we only mention it once, how bad do we want it? It's not that we've got to show God we want it bad, but there's opposition to our want to. The devil is trying to block our want to. He's trying to get us from. Keep us from receiving what we want. How bad do you want it? You're going to have to confess because you're going to have hindrances to what you're saying. This is a discipline of faith. How long do I have to say it? How bad do you want it? Amen. The more we say it, the more we have it. The less we say it, the less we have it. No one else can do our confessing of the Word for us. Amen. Every time we confess the Word, it's coming closer. Why? It's getting past the next obstacle. It's getting past the next obstacle because the devil's job is to stop what you say from coming to pass. So as you keep saying, he can't keep stomping, it's going to keep progressing past him. Your answer is going to come closer and closer to your life. It's not God slow. It's not God withholding, but it's the opposition, the enemies to your faith. There are enemies to your faith. That's why in Jude verse three, it says, earnestly contend for the faith. Amen. Then another thing about this is we have to know how to continue. George Mueller made this statement. He said, few people know how to continue. This one prayer woman that I know of, precious woman. She said most people quit too soon. One of the primary ways we continue once we release our faith is not asking God for the same thing over and over and over, but praising him for it. I thank you, Father, that that power is working in my back. I thank you that power is working to bring the money I need for my business. I thank you that the power is working to influence customers to come to my business. And you just keep releasing your faith for it. Keep at it. Keep at it. Keep at it. Amen. We don't win battles. You heard me say this. We don't win battles by praying. We battles by praising. Amen. Hallelujah. So we have to realize that continuing is part of a discipline that we have to have. Hallelujah. Another discipline is this. And we'll touch on it real quick as we go through this. Romans, chapter 12, verse 1. The discipline of submitting your body. Romans 12, verse 1. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies. God's not going to present your body. You present your body. You present your body. A living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. There's so many phrases around that. Let's read it this way. Present your bodies unto God. Well, what does it mean to present our body to God? Don't present it to wrongdoing. Don't present it to sin, present it to God so that it's serving his purpose, his plan, that we're doing something that he can flow through with our bodies. Amen. And this, this last phrase of verse one, which is your reasonable service, I think it's the Amplified circle, which is your spiritual worship. How you handle your body is a form of worship. Where you take your body is a form of worship. What you let your body participate in is a form of worship. We're to worship him with all of our being. Amen. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all. All thy heart, all thy mind, all thy soul. Every thought, every part of our being is to show we love him, we worship Him. Amen. And not dishonor him with where we take our bodies. And that does include when others don't know where you're taking it. That includes what we're doing with our minds. What are we watching on the computers when no one knows what we're watching on the computer? Heaven sees all this. Amen. So verse one is talking about submitting our bodies unto God. Verse two is this. And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. What's renewing of your mind? Taking on God's way of thinking. Renewing of the mind. Taking on God's way of thinking. Why do we take on God's way of thinking? Thinking. Because the devil enters our life through our thought life. We either open the door to the devil or we close the door to the devil. How we think determines whether God can move or whether God is closed out. Amen. It's not just how we believe, it's how we think. We have to think in line with the word. Notice this, that you may it says, and be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. If people do not take on God's way of thinking, their life will look like they were never born again. Although they are born again, their life will look no different than the unsaved sinner next door. They'll still have the same problems in their marriage, their bodies. Everything will look unchanged. Getting saved does not change your daily lifestyle. It's the renewing of the mind that transforms the life. I was in a service and there God had me praying at home for a gal. Years ago, about a gal in our church. Because I knew she was going through mental problems. And if I could say this, she had had a very difficult life and she grew up crooked. Can I say that it's not like a tree that grew straight, she grew crooked. But the word can stake that tree out and straighten that up, right? And so I knew that she was having problems with the way she processed things in her thought life. And because of that, the devil was taking advantage of her wrong thinking and was holding her in all kinds of difficulties. Well, I was in a service and. And I called her out and I told her, I said, I was faced with. And see, you have to do these things appropriately in a service. And I said, let me tell you what happened for me when I was going through a season of testing. I said, this is what I did with my thought life. This is how I thought. This is how I adjusted my thinking, because I'm handing her her answer. She said, pastor, and she was so precious. I mean, right in service, she acted like the congregation disappeared. She said, I've been going through that same thing, Pastor. I go, well, let me help you. So sweet. And then somebody that was in that service that had been around the word for a while said, didn't you know there was a devil on her? You didn't help her. You should have cast the devil off. I said, you can't cast out an unrenewed mind. Wow, so true. You keep casting things off people and they never learn to keep them off themselves. That thing comes back, they didn't know anything about an unrenewed mind. They think you just lay hands on people and get them free. That's temporary help. That's temporary help. That's temporary help. Thank God for it. But it's only buying you time so that you can further renew your mind. Healing lines are temporary help so you can have more time to sow that word in your heart and speak it out your mouth. And then you become that robust one who's a receiver. Your greatest defense against the devil is submit your body, do the right thing with your body, and renew your mind. That's your greatest defense. Anyone who is held in bondage, any Christian held in bondage to anything is not in bondage to the devil. Now get this. Any Christian who is in bondage to anything is not in bondage to the devil. They're in bondage to an unrenewed mind. They don't think right, and they've opened the door to cooperate with the devil in wrong flows. And you won't help them till you get their thinking changed. What is that? It's a renewed mind. This is a process. It's a discipline of faith that has to happen. You can't do it in a day, you can't do it in a week. You do it as a lifestyle. This is the way we live. We love the word enough to let it govern every part of our being. Amen. Hallelujah. A renewed mind is a disciplined thought life. An unrenewed mind will be an undisciplined thought life. It is your job, and not only your job, your privilege, to discipline your thought life. Why? So it doesn't run off with you and take you in places that you don't want your life to be. People, just think, if it comes to my mind, I have to think about it. You better deal with that. You better deal with it. Amen. A person with an undisciplined thought life is easy for the devil to overthrow. Very easy for the devil to overthrow. Amen. Pay attention to your thought life. Run out every trace of fear. Run out every trace of worry. Only settle for peace. Only settle for peace. Only settle for joy. Hallelujah. Well, praise the Lord. Then I'll close with this. Okay, then we'll minister to the people. But at least let me say a few of these things. Everything we receive from God, the devil's busy trying to steal it from us. Don't think that just because God did something that it's going to steal intact. Well, if God does something, it's forever. Well, talk to Adam and Eve about that, how long that lasted. God put them in the garden, and they weren't there forever. God also removed them because it wasn't forever. Based on what they did, how they responded, they did not hold fast to what God told them in that garden. So what we receive from God, it has to be upheld so that the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy doesn't steal our answer from us. That's his whole job. Now. Notice what the word says. It says the devil walks about seeking whom he may devour. Notice what it doesn't say the devil walks about devouring. The devil walks about devouring. He doesn't. Why? He can't do anything he wants. Anytime he wants to anyone he wants. He can't do anything he wants to your life. If he could, why does he have to deceive you first? Why didn't he just do it? He's got to get you thinking wrong to give him permission to work. That so? It doesn't say the devil walks about devouring. It says the devil walks about seeking. Seeking. He's seeking. He's seeking. This is a divine game of hide and seek. The devil's seeking and we're hidden Christ. Divine game. I win. I'm hidden Christ. Amen. What's that mean? I'm thinking in line with who I am. I don't permit anything of the flow of Christ, not him. I don't permit anything that's not of that flow in my life and that hides me from him seeking to devour me. He can't reach me. Amen. People are afraid of the Devil because they think he can do anything he wants, anytime he wants. That's what he wants you to think. He can't. You've got. We have to build these things in our lives, these truths so that we don't fall prey to those. Those deceptions that he works on other people. Amen. So we have to hold fast to that which we receive. What's that mean? Hold hard to it. Why? You're going to feel something trying to tug it away from you. You'll feel. You'll feel symptoms. Try to come back. What is that? That's nothing. Have you ever seen two toddlers and they're after the same toy? One's got it and the other one wants it and they just. That thing's in the middle and they start screaming and they just start going after it. Symptoms are nothing but the temptation to be sick. It's a temptation. It is the enemy coming and trying to play tug war on your health. And you have to recognize I'm not letting go of my health. I'm not letting go of my health. I don't care how many symptoms show up. I don't not letting go. Have I ever had that happen? Sure. I've had that happen. Absolutely. When symptoms would come back in a rage. And God said he's trying to dupe you into falling into the thought that that is back, that you're sick with that. And I have to say, no, that's not mine. I do not observe lying vanities. Just because I feel it doesn't mean it's mine. Just because I. This air conditioner, we can feel it right now. But none of you are authorized to take the unit out of the building home with you. Why? It's not yours just because you can feel it. Symptoms are not yours just because you can feel them. Leave them with the one who brought them. And it takes you standing your ground because sometimes he will work very diligently against you to try to dupe you. There was a woman years and decades ago that was healed during the healing revival in one of Oral Roberts tent crusades. She was completely blind, born blind and she came into his healing line. She was in her father, 50s, she had never seen before. And he laid hands on her. And her sight was restored instantly to her. After about three weeks, little by little, it started leaving little by little. And she just said, thank God, I'm healed. Thank God, I'm healed. Thank God, I'm healed. She went back to totally blind, but after three weeks, she was still saying, thank God, I'm healed. Thank God, I'm healed. She didn't care that it looked like she had lost it. Why? The devil knows how to adjust symptoms. He knows how to adjust circumstances. But he can only do it temporarily to someone who will not let go. It's only temporary. It's only temporary. It's only temporary. He's trying to dupe you into thinking he has not authority to do that. And she every day, thank God. Thank God for my sight. Thank God for my sight. She went back to totally blind for three weeks, but she did not let go. And after three weeks, in one moment, that sight came back. Why? Because she held fast. Amen. The devil, that's his story. When he has run off, run out, he always tries to come back. That doesn't mean your faith isn't working. That doesn't mean the Word isn't working. That's just his process of operating. Jesus exposed that process when he said, when an evil spirit is cast out, he goes to the dry places seeking rest. He finds them. He comes back, says, I will go back to my house, out of which I came. And he comes back, finds it empty, swept and garnished, and comes back in and bring seven more wicked than himself with him. What's the problem? They were empty. They were empty. Empty is not a safe place, because any old thing can dwell in you. Then when you're on empty, anything can fill your tank. So the safety is, be full of the Word. Be full of the Spirit. Amen. Don't let it back in. Don't let. Let it. Just because it shows back up doesn't mean you're losing, and it doesn't mean your faith isn't working. The devil's trying to deceive you. And he can temporarily adjust things, but when faith stays on the scene, those things have to leave. Amen. Praise the Lord. Well, we didn't get to 22 pages, but we got enough to keep you busy, right? Yeah. Aren't you glad to know these things? Thank God for the Word. Thank God for the Word. Thank God for the Word. If it weren't for the Word, we would not Know these things. Hallelujah. Well, stand with me, if you would, tonight. Father, we thank you. Thank you for your word. We glorify you. We magnify you. Thank you for sticking with me through all that, but there's so much of it. We could have spent more time on it, but for some reason airplanes are leaving in the morning. Hallelujah. Father, we thank you for your word. We're not just here hearers, but we're doers. We turn our hearing into the doing. We turn our hearing into the doing. You've given us something to hear so that we'll know what to do. Thank you for the hearing, Father, of your word. The Word says they came to hear and be healed. Hearing is such a vital part of receiving what you have for us. So we've received tonight of your word. We've heard. But now we purpose that when we leave this building, we have homework. We're doers. Can I tell you this? It's not enough to hear a sermon preached. Sermons are all about your homework. Every sermon that's based on the Word gives you homework. Aren't you glad? Why? Because it's what we're doing at home that messes up our life. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Right? Yeah. God's helping us. God's helping us. And I love his Word. Don't you love his Word? Love his Word. Love his Word. Love his Word. Love his Word. Love doing it. It's a joy to do it. People think. Well, so I've had people say this over the year. Oh, the word you and your husband preach. Nobody can do that. Well, well, can I tell you, they say it's just too hard. Y' all preach, it's just too hard. It's just too hard. I said, you know what's hard is living by the devil's whims. That's what's hard. That's what's hard. Doing the Word. It might take an all out effort, but it's not a hard effort. It's a joyous work. Believing is a joyous work. Go ahead and put this up, if you would. Hallelujah. Believing is a joyous work. Hallelujah. We love our responsibilities toward the word. Hallelujah. Why? Because then we can measure as much of God's power and ability in our life as we long for and as we desire. Amen. Well, as I said, we're going to minister to those of you who you came tonight and you say, pastor Nancy, I want hands laid on me for healing. It is our privilege. And. And it's our joy to do that. We look forward to doing that. But it's not enough for us to lay hands. You have to release your faith, too. Amen. And when you leave this building, you have to keep the switch of faith turned on. You have to keep the switch of faith turned on, and it's a joy to do that, too. The best way to keep the switch of faith turned on is say, thank you, Father. I'm healed. It's so good to be healed. It's so good to be whole. It's so good to have your power with working in me. I believe in the power of God. It's working in me right now. And just live a lifestyle of praising and thanking God. Amen. I want to have you. Those of you over in this side section, if you want hands laid on you, raise your hand real high and let me see how many that is. Okay, we're going to ask y' all to line up in this aisle right here where that. Where Joel's hand is raised, and they will bring you this way. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Congregation, you release your faith with us. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Congregation, reach your hands out toward these. And anyone who's going to get in the line tonight to be ministered to, I want you to say these words along with me. But let your heart agree with these words. Say this. I believe in the power of God. When hands are laid on me, the healing power of God will go into my body. It will drive out pain and symptoms, sickness and disease, and I shall be whole. I receive the power of God. I believe I receive it when hands are laid on me. I will not come out of that agreement. When I leave this place, I continue to believe that I am the healed and that that power is working in me. Hallelujah. Congregation, reach your hands out toward these. We thank you, Father. We thank you, Father. We glorify you. Be healed and there it goes in your love. Be healed in Jesus name. Be healed in Jesus. There it goes in love. Be healed in Jesus name. Be healed in Jesus name.
