The 7+1 Breakthroughs for Healing
Roberts sets the tone: "What I'm going to say to you this morning is not a revelation... but it is going to be revolutionary in your life" (13:10).
1. It’s God’s Will for You To Be Well (15:15)
- Recognize God’s desire for your health and wholeness.
- “He gets no glory out of sickness, He gets no glory out of financial loss… It’s his will for you to be well.” (15:54)
2. Your Healing Has Been Paid For In Full (17:38)
- Jesus’s sacrifice covers both salvation and healing; both require a personal faith response.
- “Most healing requires us to release our faith and believe God for that miracle.” (21:57)
3. Self-Examination and Confession (23:12)
- Ask: Is there unconfessed sin in my life? Repent with sincerity to remove barriers (24:09).
- “That’s a lie from the pit of hell… If you have any unconfessed sin… just say, God, I want this out of my life. I repent.” (25:17)
4. Forgiveness (26:11)
- Unforgiveness blocks blessings; forgiveness is necessary for breakthrough.
- Shares a practical forgiveness exercise given by his wife Lindsay (29:30).
“Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.” — Paraphrased from Lindsay (27:23)
5. Stop Talking About the Problem (31:14)
- Instead, speak to the problem in faith, commanding it to change.
- “Stop talking about the problem. Shut up. I don’t know a nicer way to say it.” (31:18)
- “Jesus didn’t climb mountains. He spoke to them.” (32:23)
6. Find an Agreement Partner (34:18)
- There is power when two people agree in faith (Matthew 18:18-19).
- “It just takes two. Find someone who will go into an agreement... and give you positive words of faith.” (34:50)
7. Release Your Faith & Expect a Miracle (36:09)
- Everyone has been given “the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3); it must be acted upon.
“You’ve got all the faith that you need… You gotta release it.” (37:22)
- Prayer is the moment to believe, not to wait (32:56).
+1. Sowing Opens You Up for Miracles (38:38)
- Spiritual “sowing” (giving) prepares the heart for breakthrough—“your season is waiting on your seed.”
- Uses the analogy of sherbet cleansing the palate before the main course (38:57).
“In the supernatural, your season is waiting on your seed. When you sow, it immediately becomes your season.” (41:28)
