A (23:43)
When you. When you look at that phrase, no distance, no separation. That removes trying to. Because if we will recognize this when we say I'm one with the Father, we could say this. I'm one with the healer. The healer is one with me. I'm one with the provider. The provider is one with me. I'm one with peace. Peace is one with me. There's no distance. There's no separation. I'm not trying to arrive there. It's who I am, and it's that simple. I'm not trying to get rid of symptoms. I am one with wholeness. I'm one with life. One with eternal life. I'm one with power. I'm one with resurrection power. I'm not trying to get these things to work for me. They are me. That's why I love a statement that William Booth, who was the founder of the Salvation army, and it was A different organization than what we see about it today. You know, you appreciate how it does humanitarian works, but this was a spiritual organization originally. And he said, I'm not praying for revival. I am revival. If everyone knew who they were. I'm talking about in the body, in the body of Christ. If everyone knew who. Who they were, they would move as one with him and the earth would be as God intends in the sense of God getting his way. Amen. But we're struggling because we don't know as Jesus. Just so simply put it, I'm one. I'm one with him, he one with me. That changes everything. Yeah. That is the purpose of Jesus coming, to make one. Amen. So no matter what your need is, you're one with your answer. You're one with wisdom. I'm one with the Holy Ghost who leads me that way. It's not me trying to be led, but I'm one with the one leading. You understand that when we say that, when we talk, that when we see ourselves as he has shown himself to us. Amen. When I. When I see Christ as He is, I see me as I am. Yeah. Because even as he is, so are we. Look at this. In this world not reserved for when you arrive in heaven, but before you go there. Amen. You're one with him now. Not just. Isn't it going to be so easy in heaven? And this brings the great. If I could say this renewing of the mind is what I love. What one minister said when Bible school students, because his voice, this minister's voice reaches so far in the body of Christ and in the earth and said, I can imagine you have faced a lot of opposition challenges in the ministry. Said, I guess I have. I just haven't noticed. What you're noticing is what you're meditating on. So what is it? Meditate. Meditate. I'm one with him. He's one with me. There is no trouble, distance. I'm not trying to arrive at something there's. Because there's nothing separating that oneness. Amen. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. We thank you, Father. Think of your need that stands in front of you or you're facing you. Say, I'm one with my answer. I'm one with wisdom. I'm one with healing. I'm one with health. I'm one with the one who has no symptoms, no pain. When Dr. A.B. simpson, he was a minister prominent in the 18th century, and he was in a denomination to where he wasn't taught healing. He didn't preach Healing. But in his 40s, the doctor said, you have a short. You have six months to live. Because his heart was in such a bad condition. And they said, don't walk up steps, avoid steps. I mean, because they said your heart could just give out if you. If it had any exertion put on it. So he went aside for two weeks to a solitary place. He went out into more of a wooded area, and there was some kind of cabin that he just locked himself up in. And he just went through the Word on the subject of healing, because he'd never done that before. And he saw that healing was a part of redemption. So after two weeks of researching what the Word said about divine healing, he wrote in the COVID of his Bible himself, took my infirmities and bare my sicknesses, that is what I have received by faith. And he wrote his confession or testimony of healing. And in that same area, there was a camp where Bible school students had gone aside to study. And they got word that he was in the region, and he was quite prominent. So they asked him to come and speak to their class. So him being in the region, he went and his sermon was himself, Matthew 8:17, himself. And he declared to them what he had been facing medically, but what his studies with God in the Word on healing for the past two weeks, what the light God had given him. And he declared that he was now healed. And so at the end of the class, some of the students, because they were out in a wooded type area, they said, we were going to go on a hike today. And they wanted him to go with them because they wanted to pick his brain, so to speak. They wanted to converse with him. And so one of the students asked, would you like to go on a hike? Some of us students are going to. And he said immediately, I thought the doctor said, I. I can't. And then he said, wait a minute, himself. He said, yes, I'll go. So he starts walking with them, and students are coming alongside and they are conversing. And as he starts climbing, those old familiar chest pains started, severe chest pains, and he stopped conversing with them and turned his attention back to himself and just meditating on these scriptures that he had been feeding upon. And he said, as he focused on what the Word said, he said all the symptoms would leave. And he said he was back to normal. And then the students again, it took a while, but the students would again start talking to him. And he said, then my attention would shift back to the conversation. And he said, and when it would shift back to the conversation. He said then the symptoms would be felt again. They'd come back. So he said I'd stopped conversing with the students and I'd again turn my attention to that healing word. And he said, and once I got my attention back on the healing word, the symptoms would fade away. And he said, the entire time up that mountain, he said it was as though a lion walked on one side and the lamb on the other. And the one that I touched is the one that possessed it. Now note that the one that I touched is the one that possessed me. And he said, when I got to the top of that mountain, it stopped and never came back. Why? Because he had learned to turn his attention. You turn your attentions to symptoms and they will stay. That's why it said about Abraham. He considered not you turn your attention to the one you are one with. You are one with divine life. Amen. Hallelujah. I want to read this to you. Then we'll go to the next thing. This is something that Finis Dakes wrote in his Bible, just his note, and he was referring to. To Psalm 105, verse 37. It says, God brought them forth also with silver and gold. And there was not one feeble. One feeble person among their tribes. Not one in a nation as estimated about 3 million. Not one. Not one. And we have a better covenant. And Dake said the reason there was not one feeble person in all their tribes was because. Because God healed them. Such is the will of God for men under the new covenant, which is based upon better promises and is more glorious in power and provision than the old Mosaic covenant. And listen to this statement he makes. It is the shame of the church to fall so far behind Israel in receiving promised benefits. It's to our shame. And we need to say shame on us for letting things persist and keep going. It is to our shame. Why? Because we are one with the Father. And when we don't move into it, it's because we have not taken the notice or put our attention where it ought to be. He said, is it not logical that new covenants saints should meet the physical and spiritual qualifications of the old covenant? What then is wrong with the church that it does not get the superior blessings of the new covenant? It is because of unbelief and widespread rebellion against the teaching of God's word. It is not because God's lost his power or does not care to live up to his obligations. I've noticed this about God. If you haven't gone very far and he hadn't taken. Let me say this. If you haven't gone. Been taken to the woodshed by God, you haven't gone very far. I've been taken to the woodshed. Anybody been taken to the woodshed? You know what I mean by that? When you're crying about your situation and he walks in and there's no pity, he starts dealing with you, and he starts dealing with a firm word, a firm hand that loves you because he will not pet you in the wrong place. He's not stroking us to cuddle us, coddle us and comfort us to stay in that place. Anybody ever heard of Mama Jenkins? Yeah. Under her ministry, conjoined twins were separated. And she was a woman who. Smith Wigglesworth was her spiritual father. So speak. She was a black woman who lived in the south somewhere. One time, she had gotten off in her ministry. He got on the boat in England. By the spirit of God, God revealed it, Rode on a ship over to America, traveled to where she was, got in her face and rebuked her, and then got back on the ship and went back to England. That's what kind of rapport they had. And so at one point. Point, she was 62 years old. She was in a wheelchair. She was blind. I don't know if it was due to something like diabetes. She was an overweight woman. If you saw pictures of her, she carried a little bit of weight. So I don't know if it would have been something like that. And one day, as she sat In a wheelchair, 62 years old, been in the ministry for years, and she's blind, Jesus stood in front of her. And you think he said, oh, yeah, dear sister, I've come. No, he stood in front of her and said, what are you doing in this wheelchair? And he disappeared. It doesn't please him. And he's not mad at it, you understand, but it's the firmness that we need to quit being okay with what we have been okay with and coddling ourselves because it cost him everything to make us. It cost him everything. And it's not okay to him when we're enjoying less than what oneness provided for us. Amen. And then you know the story of brother Norval Hayes, when his daughter had 47 growths on her hand, and he's walking through his house for months and months and months and saying, oh, God, heal her. Heal her hands healed Zona, remember? And he's just going through, just begging God to do something. God, do something. God, do something. After months and months and months of putting it off on God. He's walking through his living room, he takes a step in his living room, and the next step he takes, he's in heaven and he's before Jesus. And Jesus said, how long are you going to put up with those growths on your daughter's body? And then he's back in the earth. Notice God's raising children, and you can't raise a child soundly talking soft to them all the time. You have to put an expectation on them. I'm not talking about being harsh and hard and cold, but when we're okay with less than not one feeble one among them. Amen. We believe too much in the medical industry, and we need to give ourself a swift kick in the pants spiritually. And when I went to a certain meeting years ago and I was being really harassed so severely in my mind on that trip, and I had to preach Sunday morning, that's the last thing I wanted to do. And I'm up there, they had just turned the service over to me. And Jesus comes walking up this aisle. And I thought, when I knew he was coming, I go, oh, devil, you had it now. You've been picking on me. You've been whipping up on me. He's going to deal with you. You're done. He walked right up that aisle, came up to the platform, stood next to me and said this. Where's your faith? Not with sweet, tender, oozing words, but in complete disappointment. Where is your faith? And I was stunned. I thought, my goodness, I didn't start this mess. The devil started this. And yet God is displeased with me. And I thought, I'm the victim here. I'm being picked on. I'm good girl, you know, and I'm being mistreated. And I was waiting for him to do something. Well, he did. He said, where is your faith? And then he said this to me as a sign that I have spoken to you. Call for a healing line and I'll heal them. And I thought, heal them? Seriously? That's the first thing. Heal them. What about me? What about me? He never mentioned another word to me about me. He expected me to do what he had already taught me in 2026. We're giving ourself a swift kick in the pants, and we're saying what we had at the end of 2025 will not be with us at the end of 2026. Why? We are one with our answer. We are one with the power. We are one with every divine help. We need Amen. And I'm not waiting for God to do something, but I'm reminding myself of the great did the big deal. He put me one with him. Amen. Well, praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Glory to God. Just raise up your hands. Lift up your voice. Father, thank you. Say it with me. Thank you. That I am one with you. You are one with me. So I draw on everything you are. There's no distance, there's no separation between you and me. And I receive to the full your fullness. And I live that way. And I say my health demonstrates my oneness with you and your oneness with me. My mind is one with all peace. My spirit is full of joy because the joy of the Lord is my strength. Therefore, I have the strength of God. Not just enhanced human strength, but divine strength. I'm one with all strength.
