There's enough power in every sick room and in every hospital room to raise up that sick one that may be describing you. You may be in a sick room, you may be in a hospital room. And I want to remind you, power is present. That power is there to do a work, believe in what's not. Try to get something, but notice that he's already made it yours. It's present right where you're at. Say, I receive that power. I receive that power. I receive it right now.

From the top of my head. From the top of my head. The soles of my feet. The soles of my feet. Welcome. We're so glad to have you with us today for Jesus the healer. And we are so thrilled that we are able to spend this time with you. And we're excited that God has had us on this series called In Christ I Can because it is the foundation of our redemption. When we find out who we are in Christ, I want you to know struggle is a thing of the past. And when we find out who we are in Christ, we see struggling with our own self image because we find ourself in Him. Listen, when we recognize who Jesus is and what belongs to him, we're really seeing who. Who we are and what belongs to us. Because we are in Christ. He is in us. And you know, the mind has a. As the mind has difficulty trying to wrap itself around that understanding. But we just receive it and believe it by faith. I'm in Christ. How does that happen? I don't know. But God says it's true, and so it's true. And my life just benefits from it. Your life benefits from it. That Jesus is the head, we are the body, and everything that belongs to the head will flow to the body. And so we're just finding out all that that means for us. Colossians, chapter 2, verse 9 has been one of the golden texts that we've been looking at in this series. And it's the living Bible translation that reads this way. For in Christ there is all of God in a human body. So you have everything when you have Christ. And you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest ruler and with authority over every other power. So know this. Every other power that would try to oppose you is a lesser power. You are full of the greatest power that is in existence. And what this means for our life means that we are made masters, that the enemy no longer is to Lord it over us. And so I want to. I want us to really go a little bit different direction today because we're just going to look at some things that I think will be a great blessing to you to find out who you are in Christ, what belongs to you because you're in Christ, and what you can do because you're in Christ. I want us to look at something I love, something that Brother Copeland, he makes this statement often, and he'll say this. The will of God is your wealthy place. Now, what does he mean by that? Does that mean it's going to make you rich? Well, certainly it will enrich you financially, but it's broader than that. It's more than that. The will of God enriches every arena of life. We cannot follow the will of God, live out God's plan for our life and suffer and suffer, diminishing things in our life. We're going to be advancing, we're going to be increasing. We're going to. When we follow the plan of God, know this, that for every person born, God has already authored a plan for their life and everything that life is going to need, every supply, every grace, every everything to fulfill that. That plan, God put in Christ. And then he put that. Then he put Christ in us and us in Christ. So before you were born, God authored a plan. Not only that, God supplied that plan. God funded that plan. God furnished that plan with everything you're going to need to carry it out. The greatest thing that he has supplied us with is Himself. He fills us. God authored a plan, then he filled us with Himself so that he could fulfill the plan. For through us, he doesn't just rely on our own human ability to carry out the plan. But that's why the plan is always greater than what you can do. Because he had Himself in mind when he authored that plan. He didn't just look at you and your ability and say, well, I'll give them something that they can fulfill. No, he says, I'll fill them with myself. And then I will show them all that my plan contains because I intend to fulfill it through them. So it's our privilege to yield to him because he brings us into a life we never could have lived apart from Him. That's what in Christ means, that we are living this life based on his ability, not our own human ability. He has given us the attributes of God, the nine fruits of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, meekness, temperance, patience. All these, all these fruits of the Spirit, they're the attributes of God. That indwell us. They came in at the new birth. The Spirit of God imparted them to our spirits. What is that? That's part of living in Christ's life. That we are drawing on God himself. So know this, that when Brother Copeland makes the statement how. How accurate it is, he says, the will of God is your wealthy place. Why? Because God authored His plan for your life. And then he filled that plan with his own ability, his own resources, his own supply for us to spend it as we need it. It's not about getting God to send us what we need to fulfill that plan. It's about us drawing on the greater One who's already in us to help us to fulfill that plan through us. Now I want to look at Hebrews chapter four and verse three. And this is the amplified classic translation. This passage is referring to when God delivered His people out of Egypt. He was leading them into the promised land that he had already given them. This is the wonderful thing about God. He gives you something, then leads you into it. He doesn't lead you to something that doesn't belong to you yet. He gives you something and then he leads you into it. We could say it this way. God planned it. Jesus purchased it. And the Spirit of God leads us into it. So know this. God authored a plan. Jesus purchased that plan by his shed blood. And the Holy Spirit is the one who leads us into the fulfillment of what God authored and what Jesus purchased. And so we need the help of the Holy Spirit to follow him into all he has authored for us. Know this. Jesus said, my meat, or the thing that nourishes me, the thing that sustains me, my meat is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work. Listen, Jesus was born the son of God, but He still had to fulfill the plan of God if He was going to finish what he was born for. It's the same thing with you and I. It's not enough that we belong to God. There's a plan for us to walk out to fulfill so that we can. So that we can accomplish all that he's in us to do. It's us yielding to him to do the work through us. Now, when God was leading his people out of Egypt, they faltered along the way. They wouldn't believe Him. They wouldn't put in their mouth what he said to them. They kept holding to their own way of thinking. And so know this, that he makes this statement in the last part. I don't want to go through the entire verse, but the Last phrase of Hebrews 4, verse 3, the Amplified classic. It said, God said, they shall not enter my rest. He was talking about the Hebrews. And this he said, although, look at this, his works had been completed and prepared and waiting for all who would believe from the foundation of the world. So he had completed their arrival for the promised land. He had completed that land. He prepared it, he furnished it with everything they needed. But what was it going to take? It was going to take their faith to move into it. Well, because they didn't bring their faith, they never arrived at what he had already prepared, what he had already completed for them, what was waiting for them. And they never got to enjoy it because they faltered along the way and they did not believe. Know this. God's already authored a plan. He's already completed that plan for your life. He's already prepared it. It's just waiting for your faith to show up day by day and walk out that plan. And you can, because Christ is in you. So know this verse, get this verse on the inside of you, that God's works have already been completed for your life. When he tells you, I want you to start a business, he's already completed everything you're going to need to be a success in that business. If he says he's already completed and prepared, what's that mean? He's already prepared all the help you're going to need. He's already prepared all. All the resources you're going to need. Everything is prepared. It's not you doing the work, it's you arriving at what he completed and prepared. It's waiting for your faith to arrive. You know, this verse was so key for me. When my husband went home to be with the Lord, there were eight large projects that my husband had been working on. Two of them were the constructions of buildings. So they weren't something that could be done in a day. For five years, he had been endeavoring to finish these eight projects. God enabled us within the first year after my husband went home to be with the Lord. All eight of those were finished and they were completely paid for. And how did. How did we arrive at the fulfillment of that? I went back to this verse whenever I hit a difficult spot in the process of finishing these projects. I'd say, father, you have already completed and you have already prepared everything that's needed for this project. Because I reminded myself of that. It got rid of any struggle. I didn't struggle to complete something. I didn't struggle at the thought of it. I didn't lay in bed at night and worry, where's the money going to come from? Where are the resources going to come from? What was called for with those projects was not always money. Sometimes it was just the knowledge of, how am I going to finish this? My husband was the one who primarily did the business side of the ministry. So now I was in a different role than I had ever been in before. But I found this out, that if I would listen to the Holy Ghost and follow his leading, that he was the genius that I needed to complete those projects. I didn't have the same education I didn't have. I dealt with lawyers, I dealt with bankers, I dealt with the city on the completion of buildings. I didn't know all they knew, but I still had the advantage. Why I had the Holy Ghost. And in that I knew this. Even though I don't have the education, I don't have the business history, I don't have the training, I still have the divine genius in me and I'm going to lean on him. And so no matter what I faced, I would always approach those needs. God's already completed this, this, this project. He's already prepared everything this project is going to call for. When did he do it? Before the foundation of the world is what this verse says. Before my need ever showed up. God had already completed the need, before my need ever showed up in these projects. And he had already prepared the answer. He had already prepared the supply. That's how I was moving ahead to finish these projects, with no worry, with no fear, because I always remembered and I drew on this verse every single day. When I was faced with something that I wasn't expecting, it would show up and threaten to threaten the whole project, I'd say, no, God's already completed an answer for this. He's already completed the supply. He's already completed and prepared all the right people. I'm going to need to see this thing through to completion. What was it waiting on? It was waiting for my faith to show up. Why is that again? It says in Hebrews 4:3, his works had been completed and prepared. Look at this. And waiting for all who would believe from the foundation of the world. So know this. Everything of God's plan is waiting for your faith. It's not waiting for God to do something. And how many times we say, God, you're so slow. I'm waiting on you? No, his prepared and completing completed plan is waiting for us. It's waiting for our faith in Christ. Everything you're going to need is completed and prepared. Healing, victory, prosperity, everything. Wisdom, revelation, everything you need to accomplish the plan. He's already completed it. Now, Philippians chapter 4. In verse 9:19 rather it says this. My God shall supply. Look at this. All your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. So know this. This verse we know is relating or speaking to givers. That those who are givers. This is what this passage is. It's talking about those who had sown into Paul's life and ministry. He said to them that my God shall supply all your need. So this belongs to a giver. Do you know that every believer, they have the nature of a giver on the inside of them? Why? Because the nature of God is in us and he is a giver. So know this. If we're not giving, we're not being true to the nature of God that's on the inside of us. God so loved the world. John 3:16. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So what's this mean to us? It's showing us that if we're going to be true to who God made us to be, we're a giver. How many of you know that? The one reason people don't give, they're afraid to. They fear that they're not going to have enough for themselves. So they try to hold on to everything they get. But if you'll remember, he's already completed and prepared everything you're going to need to fulfill the plan of God. And it's just waiting for your faith to show up. You can be generous without any kind of fear around it. Because it's not withholding that's going to help you fulfill the plan. It's knowing he's already completed and prepared. Everything that you're going to be faced with in this life, you've already got the answer, you've already got the supply. So I want you to see again this verse, Philippians 4:19. My God shall supply all your need. Look at this. Look at these keywords. God, supply, need. He's telling us this because so much of the time people are so living need minded. All they're aware of, all their attention is on, all their focus is on, is what their need is. Well, God is authorizing us to come into a new way of thinking. What is this new way of thinking? This verse shows us. My God shall supply. The focus isn't the need. The focus is that God supplies. So this Verse is to turn us supply minded so that we quit being need minded. That when we're faced with a need, that need does not frighten us. When we're faced with a need, that need does not overwhelm us. Because we remember, wait a minute, there's a supply for this need. Therefore I'm not troubled by any need that shows up. Sometimes we can forecast a need that's coming. Other times a need shows up that we didn't know it was coming and it takes us by surprise. But I want you to know even any unexpected need that's going to show up should never cause you to be unsettled. It should never disturb you and cause you to be fearful. Because any unexpected need did not catch God off guard. He has already completed and prepared the supply that you're going to need. So know this, my God, supplies need. We are to become supply minded, not need minded. When something shows up, you receive a bill at your house, you say, thank God I have a supply for this. Whenever something breaks down in your house, I have a supply for that. You are to be supply minded. And doesn't it change just that one little adjustment in the thought life? It changes us from living troubled to living peaceful. If we're going to live need minded is going to press on, to press on the mind in such a way that we'll be troubled. But if we'll be supply minded, wait a minute, I have a supply for this. What about this in your family, the husband and wife, somebody needs to be talking about the supply all the time. Because so much of the time at dinner talk at dinner time, the talk around that dinner table is we have this that we need to do, we have this that we need money for, we have this that that needs to be addressed and we need to say we have a supply for that. Honey, God has already provided. He's completed and prepared the answer for all of this that has shown up and that changes the entire atmosphere of a home. I pastored for 25 years and I saw during that time the pressure that would come through the financial area that would rest on a marriage. How many times a home would get into conflict, get into strife because of financial pressure. I want you to know that if you will build in you this truth that God has a supply for every single need that will ever show up in my life, then you'll not allow financial pressure to divide the home to ruin a covenant of a marriage covenant. Because God never intended that we live under financial pressure. Why we're to live under the Renewed mind that said, there's a supply for everything that's going to show up in my life. You know, when my husband went home to be with the Lord, I never once allowed myself to think I am a single income home. Now why? I am a supplied home. I'm a supplied household. God supplies all, all my need. I don't have to dumb down my lifestyle. I don't have to. If I could say this, start living on a mentality of, I may not have enough. Nope, I did not have a single income. I don't have a single income home. I have a supplied home. God supplies all my need. And as I follow the Holy Ghost and use my faith, and I want you to know I have done nothing but just increase and increase and increase. There was about two years before my husband went home to be with the Lord. I remember we were sitting on a commercial flight. We were getting ready to take off and we were just taxing down the Runway. And as we were, that plane was taxing down the Runway. I'm sitting next to my husband and I hear God say this. He said, you're going to start living off the top of the barrel. Well, I know what the top of the barrel, that phrase sounds like because I had been on the bottom of the barrel. Anybody ever been living at the bottom of the barrel? You know what happens living at the bottom of the barrel? You can see the barrel through the little bit of supply you got there. And you know, it's like when God told Elisha to Elijah to go to the city of Zarephath. He said, I've commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. He found her and said, make for me a cake, you know, a meal. And she says, I can't. She says, I only have enough for me and my son. How did she know she only had enough for her and her son? She could see the bottom. She knew that there was still some meal in her barrel, but she could see the bottom. She knew, once this amount is gone, all I've got left is the bottom of the barrel. God said to me, you're going to live off the top of the barrel. What's that mean? I'll never see the bottom again. That means that I won't have to dip way, way down. I can just skim it off the surface. There would be so much that I would not that after I had taken a supply off the top of the barrel, the barrel still full of supply. I'm not going to run out of supply. So God said to me, you're going to start living off the top of the barrel. Now, I noticed this after my husband went home to be with the Lord. I didn't realize that really God was sowing the truth of that into my spirit before I would ever be a widow. What was he doing? He was supplying my spirit with answers. That's what when God says he supplies all your need, I want you to know sometimes we have such a need for revelation. And God was supplying my life with the revelation, you're going to be living off the top of the barrel. I didn't know how significant that stuff statement was until my husband left home. Whenever he not left home, but left the earth. But when he left the earth, I was not left with a less than life. God was telling me, you're still going to live off the top of the barrel. Now, I noticed he didn't say you and your husband, he said you. He was speaking to the time he knew I would be facing. So whenever I face any kind of need that arises in my life, I say, father, I thank you that I'm living off the top of the barrel. And that means I will never see the bottom again. I will never see barely enough again. Now there's those. Don't misunderstand me. When my husband and I, we would pioneer the church, we were just starting out different aspects of ministry, that there were times we made sacrifices and we did whatever it took. But. But as we were faithful to the plan of God and we did not let resources adjust our faithfulness, if we just stayed faithful to the plan of God, There were times that it looked like we're going to hit bottom. But you know, we never ever hit bottom. Even though at times we could see the bottom. We never hit the bottom. But now I don't even see the bottom. Why God told me, you are going to start living off top of the barrel. I will never permit anything but the top for my flow. I'm not going to reach so far down that I have to be. If I could say this stingy, I can be generous because God has already told me, you're going to live off the top of the barrel. But it takes my faith, it takes me to remember what he said in the face of a need. You have to remember, I have a supply. Why do we know we have a supply? Number one, we're in Christ. There's no such thing as being in Christ and not having a supply. In Christ. We have every resource that we're going to need to experience victory in this life. So if I Could say that there's any homework I could give you today. It's build into your spirit. My God has already provided a supply for everything I'll ever need in this life. Build into your spirit. Hebrews 4:3, the Amplified classic which says that his works have already his works for my life. His plan for my life, what he requires of my life, he has already completed it. He has already prepared everything I will need. And all it's waiting for is. Is for my faith to show up. God is not just throwing together a plan at the last minute. The plan for my life was authored before the foundation of the world. Therefore the supply was off was authored before the foundation of the world. Too many times people are so troubled because all they think about is their need. Now we are authorized to turn our attention to away from the need and toward the supply. I am supplied. I will always be supplied. These are, this needs to be the words in your mouth. I have a supply. I'll never be without a supply for the rest of my life. Every need that I'll ever encounter, I know it's already got a supply for it. And I am, I am drawing on that supply by faith. Therefore, I'm authorized to shift my attention from the need that to the supply. Listen, the devil will try to make that need talk so loud to your life. But it is your privilege to lift your voice of faith and talk loud about the supply in the face of that need. No need is greater than the supply. I said no need is greater than the supply. No need is ever going to be unmet in your life. If you'll remember, I always have have a supply. And when you remember that and you speak that and you hold to that in the face of opposition, you will begin to live as rich as you are. Amen. Well, God bless you in taking the time to join us and we look forward to the next time we get to be with you. And until then, remember this. Jesus is the healer. God bless you.
