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.

Welcome. We're so glad you're joining us today for Jesus the Healer. And as we continue in this series, we just are uncovering and discovering what belongs to us in Christ. And really when we find out who we are in Christ, it brings us into the highest order of faith. And who we are in Christ is really the very foundation of our redemption. So when we recognize and discover all that he is in us, what he will be through us, then we and we learn how to yield to the greater one that's on the inside of us. It really rewrites the story of our life. And so we're so grateful that we're on this series called In Christ I Can. And we invite you to get hold of some resources that we are making available to you. They're completely free of charge. You can go to our website@jesusthehealer.org, go to the bookstore page and you can download this small sampling of In Him Scriptures. You can download them, keep them on your device, or you can print them out. Then we also had the complete listing of In Him Scriptures. And this document is about 120 pages. And the wonderful thing about this document is a friend of the ministry went through and referenced 229 different Bible translations, pulled the best of those translations and made them available to us. So we want you to get hold of those and not only download them, but feed on them, find out and discover who you are in Christ. Because who we are in Christ is not something that we achieve in, it's something we receive. And when we understand who he's made us to be, it elevates living and it brings us into the flow that God has authored for us all along. Just know this. The greatest plan about redemption that God authored is that when we come into Christ and He comes into us, we are born again. The highest thing about that is we become one with the Father. That was God's plan, thank God in that that our sins are forgiven, our past is cleansed, we become new creatures in Christ. What was old is gone and dead. What is new awaits us. And we can have a brand new start. But just know this, it brings us into oneness with the Father. Now that's what Jesus pointed back to as his point of success. He says, don't you know that the Father is in me and I am in Him? And so we see this, that the miracles flowed because Jesus embraced and was completely aware that he was one with the Father and it was the Father in Him that was doing the works. Well, the miracles came out of this place of oneness. The miracles came because Jesus was not acting independent apart from his Father. He was yielding to his Father. He recognized that out of this place of oneness was was help for the masses. And not only that, it was redemption for mankind. It came out of a place of oneness to bring you into a place of oneness with the Father. And so we are invited to renew our minds that when we are born again, we're not just now going to heaven, which we're so grateful about. We've missed hell. But God not only has a plan for us, but he has filled us with with Himself so that he can fulfill that plan through us. The plan God authored for your life is impossible to man, but completely possible to the God who indwells us to fulfill it. Now it's our blessing to learn how to yield to the Greater One who's on the inside of us. Since we are one with the Father, let's not just draw our on our own humanity. Let's learn to draw on the Greater One who's on the inside of us. Put him to work for you. Kenneth Hagin, who was our spiritual father for decades, he would make this statement. He would say, when you're faced with any opposition, no matter what test and trial you encounter, always train yourself to first think. What does the Word say about this? Why is that? Because that then we're putting the Word to work for us. And by putting the Word to work for us, we're putting God to work for us. This is how we draw on the Greater One who's on the inside of us. We come into line with the Word of God in our thinking, in our speaking, and in our responding. So know this. What what we draw on, what we are to draw on, is the Greater One within us. And when it dawns on our Spirit, who we are in Christ. That is the end of struggle. We struggle when we think that we are the only feature that we can draw on, that we only have our own ability, our own human resources to draw on. But in Christ, God has withheld none of Himself from us. We are one with the Father. Meaning this. We have his life. We have the nature of God that came in us at the new birth. We have the attributes of God. They're called the nine fruits of the Spirit. And at the new birth, these nine fruits of the Spirit that are spelled out In Galatians, chapter 5, verse 22, they came in you to dwell. Why is that? To elevate us into the flow of the very nature of God operating and manifesting in our daily life. Because we're not to wait until we go to heaven to live days of heaven. We can live days of heaven on earth by yielding to the oneness of the Father in us. And this is the great victory of redemption. The Father is in us, we are in Him. And everything that God planned for us, he put in Jesus, and then he put Jesus in us. Jesus is the head, we are the body. And in that oneness with Jesus, we are brought into oneness with the Father. And as Jesus said, the Father in Me, he does the works. Never try to accomplish anything of this divine life that awaits you apart from Him. Everything is to be done together with Him. When you're encountering a test and trial, when you're. Even if you have made some missteps, if you've sinned, gone the wrong direction, just taken, just made some decisions that have been. That have ended up as a difficulty in your life. Don't ever try to overcome those apart from Him. Bring him into everything, even when you miss it, because he is on the inside of you to put you over, to get you into the place and into the flow that he has authored for your life. So if I could say this, don't run from God, no matter how you do it wrong. He doesn't want to be left out of your success, and he is your success. Draw on him and he will turn failure into success. And just know this, the Father is never ashamed or embarrassed by you. Why is that? Because he's in you so that he can be one with you. He is not trying to separate Himself from you. So don't you try to separate yourself from Him. Everything is to be done in togetherness with the oneness of our Father. And so we're to learn to see, speak as one with the Father. Learn to think as one with the Father. Learn to respond as that. We are one with the Father. And if I could say this, go walk out this life with the awareness I'm one with the Father. That means this, that I'm going to quit drawing on humanity when I can draw on divinity within me that will help me to live in the highest flow. I want us to look at Acts chapter 17 and verse 28. We've referred to this passage at different times through this series because we're well into, what is it, 240something episodes in this series alone. And so all along in this series we have referred to Acts 17, verse 28. But I want us to camp on it a little bit today. Acts 17:28. The King James translation says, in him we live and move and have our being. Notice this when we see this, this phrase. He has left none of himself out of any feature or facet or flow of our life. He has included himself in everything, in the way we live, in the way we move, and in the conducting of our entire being. Now notice this. It says, in him we live. What's that mean? It lets us know that he is the life force of our existence. That he is the sustaining force of this life. That we don't begin with him and then veer from Him. We are to begin with him and then look to him to strengthen, fortify and empower us in every feature of not just moments in life, but daily life. That he is to be the flow. He is to be the life. He is to be the force that is governing our life and what happens that brings us into the highest living in its highest sense. You know, we can look at our life and we can go back and say, well, I liked this moment or this season of my life. I was satisfied. But God doesn't just want us to point to moments. He wants every day to be a flow. That we are inwardly satisfied, that we don't lay our head down at night and we're dissatisfied by how our life is going. In him we live that we never are deficient in our. Our spirit being dissatisfied. You know, so many times when people are trying to outwardly satisfy an inward longing, they think, if I can change this feature of my life, maybe a new job, maybe a new career. Some even go so far as to say a different spouse. Some even say, well, if I can just buy a different house, or if I can have that, you know, maybe that car of my dreams. Well, God wants you to have everything that you long for. But Know this, that no outward thing satisfies an inward longing. It is oneness with the Father. And whenever we become skillful at drawing on the oneness with the Father, we move into an inward satisfaction. Not that we're satisfied to not keep pressing or going farther, but we don't lay in bed at night at the end of a day and think, I didn't hit the highest low, I'm. I cheated myself today. We can, if we will, allow him to manifest through us, if we'll learn to draw on him in daily life, he will be the sustaining flow of every single day to where we go to bed and lay our head down at night and say, my insides are happy, my insides are satisfied. Just know this, when someone's insides are dissatisfied, how they will take it out on people around them. They. They're not always locating, why am I dissatisfied? And so they'll strike out at something. They see a person, maybe that's in their life or a job, and they'll think, well, the job is the problem, the boss is the problem. My family's the problem. When really to have an inward satisfaction, if your insides are satisfied, it doesn't even to you that circumstances on the outside may be against you. Because when the insides are satisfied, that there is a peace, there is a fulfillment, and circumstances do not affect you the same way. And I'm talking about opposing circumstances, it might not. You might not be living in the house of your dreams, but when your insides are satisfied, you know this, that what's coming is better, that you don't get dissatisfied with the outward features of your life when the inside of you is satisfied. And so know this, that he is the fulfillment of every longing of your heart, every longing of your spirit. You know, when my husband went home to be with the lord unexpectedly in 2013, and my husband traveled, we were really Only together about 25% of our marriage because he traveled full time in the ministry as a preacher. I was at home raising the children. I was at home pastoring our local church. And there were times that I got to be with him on the road. But really, compared to a married life, we only were together about 25% of the time. But even so, just knowing that I would never be able to pick up the phone and talk to him again, I wouldn't be able to travel with him again on the road. I would not allow the place he held in me to feel like a void in my life. I decided, and I believed that every place that my husband was a companion with me on that God would now fill that place. That I was not going to go through this life feeling a void, feeling of vacancy, feeling that something was missing because my husband was no longer here. Just know this. People are going to enter your life, people are going to exit your life. And you are never to live with a sense of inward dissatisfaction, inward void. Because I want you to know God can so satisfy the inside of every single person that you don't have to feel a void, a vacancy, a deficiency. Like something is missing because he will fill it with Himself. And when he fills it with Himself, I want you to know it will elevate your life to a higher flow. Even when people have left your life, family members, loved ones, best friends, maybe there's been a tragedy that even children are no longer in your life. I want you to know that no human can satisfy the insides of a man. Like God can satisfy the insides of a human. So just know this. In him we live. Let's not put our. Let's not put our satisfaction resting on a person. Meaning I'm only satisfied as long as this person is in my life. Because people come, people go. There are variables with human beings, but the thing with God, he's forever the same. He's forever faithful, he's forever good. And when we say my life is drawing primarily on him, first and foremost on him, then there's no deficiency when people may exit our life. Or what about this Events may change in our life. Maybe you were a business owner and that's no longer in place. You don't have to fill a vacancy to that. Maybe there was something that you were really excellent in and that's no longer part of your life. You don't have to have a sorrow at that not being there anymore. God is to be the one we draw on for every feature and every facet of life. Thank God for the people in our life. But they are no substitute for God Himself. And this is what belongs to us in Christ, God Himself. Oneness with the Father. So I would say this. Draw on, build on the inside of you. In Him I live. This is Acts 17:28. God is letting us know that if we put our affections on something less than God, we'll be disappointed. Never trust in anything that to deliver you that isn't big enough to deliver you. And I want you to know no relationship is great enough to deliver you. No event is great enough to deliver you. There's only one, and that's God, who is great enough to deliver in any situation, any setting, and at the point of any opposition. So never put someone else in the place that only God can satisfy, Only God can fulfill. In him we live. Thank God for my marriage. But I want you to know my life in God far surpassed my life in marriage. Thank God for my children. I love being a mom. I love being a parent. I love being a grandmother. I don't let them call me grandmother. Why is that? Because in my head, it just depicted something a little old. And I just decided I wasn't going to be feeling like I was old. Now, some people, they value the title great, have it, use it. But me, they call me Nanny. Why is that? Well, growing up, of course, my name being Nancy, I had family members that just called me Nanny. And so my grandkids call me Nanny. I don't know if that sounds young or old, but the thing is that I love that I have grandchildren. I love. I loved my husband, my marriage, my role as motherhood, my role as a grandmother, my role as a minister. But none of them take the place that God is my life. These things are just features in my life, but he is my life. In him we live. It's not in marriage we live. We don't draw the force for our life out of our marriage, because why is that? Things of this world are changeable, but we draw the force for life out of the flow and out of the one who is unchangeable. That way, no matter what changes, we are constant because the place we're drawing from is constant. The God that belongs to us, who is our father, and we're one with him, how constant he is in our life. What does that do? That Anchors, usually that keeps us from going up one day and down the next. You know, people will say, in your life there's going to be mountains and valleys. Well, I know what they're referring to, but they're really talking about events, they're really talking about moments. That there are mountaintop moments and there are valley type moments. But that doesn't mean our life is to be a mountain and a valley. Circumstances will go up and down, but our life in God keeps us the same. I don't. If I could say this, I don't ever settle or resign or think of my life as being low moments. There are not low moments. There may be low circumstances, but my life and my moments are authored by him, not by circumstances. So know this. In him we live. If people are struggling at some event, some change in their life, I'm going to have to encourage you, turn your. What you're drawing on who you're drawing on to him. Because if we let a job, a career, a marriage, a person, a child, an event start taking the highest flow in our life, that's going to end us at some point in disappointment. But if we will say, he is my life and when circumstances change him who is your life never changes. He who is your life never, never falters. So always keep him in that top seat that your life is drawing on him. And all these other things, things of your life are features in your life. There are flows in your life, but he is the. He is the sustaining force of your life. Therefore your life stays in a constant flow of goodness, a constant flow of blessings, no matter what opposition comes. That he is the sustaining flow of our life. That doesn't mean there's not going to come tests. That doesn't mean there's not going to come trials. It means that we are not going to be subject to the variableness of circumstances. That we don't have to go up and down in our attitude, we don't have to go up and down in our demeanor. We don't have to go up and down in our feelings, in our emotions, because emotions have no foundation. Emotions are simply something to color our life, but nothing to build on because they are not a stable foundation that our emotions are to come into line with where we're drawing our life from. In him we live. Now look at that. To really live in the highest sense of the word, it only comes from him. You know, you can think I'm really living a good life based on your profession, based on your salary, based on how good your marriage is or how many children you have. Well, thank God for those features of our life. But they are not the source of life. They are not the wellspring of the life that God has authored for us. Where did God go to give us the highest flow of life? Himself. He gave us himself. And this is what Jesus purchased for us. A redemption that brings us into oneness with the Father. We see in Jesus earthly ministry in life. He was never up one, down, up one day, down the next, succeeding one day, failing the next. Why is that? Because he was ever mindful and he declared it publicly. My Father and I, we are one. I am one with him. He is one with me. That made the religious, the religious leaders mad. Why? Because it made religious devils mad. Why is that? Because for someone who knows, my. My life is drawing on one flow. And that's from my Father. What that does, that puts you outside of the reach of the devil. And he doesn't want you outside of his reach. So he will try to oppose you, to build in you the truth that you are one with your Father. And the devil tried to use the religious leaders of that day to harass Jesus, to try to trouble him, to threaten him, to not ever declare that he was one with the Father. I want you to know the devil does not want you to realize that you are one with life itself, with eternal life, divine life of God. The devil doesn't want you to magnify that. He wants you to magnify features of your life without touching into the source of your life. And so know this, that the devil wants to always downplay the oneness that belongs to you in God. But Jesus held to it in the face of opposition, when they would threaten his life, he would not back up on saying, I am one with the Father and the Father is one with me. And that was the highest flow, the highest seat he occupied. And because of that oneness, miracles flowed to the people. Because of that oneness, divine wisdom came through his words. Because of that oneness, the plan of God came to pass in the earth. Because one man understood he was one with his Father. Now you think, well, Jesus was the Son of God. That's why he understood it. He was a man. He took on humanity. And he was showing us that just as he could understand and operate as one with his father, he was the example showing us you can operate as one with your Father. And I want you to know if there's any feature of your life, any part of your life that's unsettled, come up to the revelation. Come up to the understanding, I'm one with the Father. He is my life, and he is consistent. He is constant. He's not a variable. Therefore, my life should not go in upheavals, up one day and down the next, that we are to be as constant as the divine life of the Father that's in us. Amen. So we are learning to embrace that in Christ. What belongs to us is in Him. We live. Amen. Well, you don't want to miss next time. And we'll continue along this line next time. And until then, remember this. Jesus is the healer. God bless you.
