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 we invite you exposure expect to hear God say something to you. Amen. You know, I know this God will say something to you that doesn't come out of my mouth. But just sitting in the atmosphere of the teaching of the word, that's the atmosphere where God is heard. Amen. And so we invite you expect to hear answers for your life. You say, pastor Nancy, maybe I have a marriage problem or physical problem or a financial problem. Maybe I won't even address some of the things specifically that are representative of your need, but you can still hear the answer for your life. God is the he's so impressive that he can answer a million different questions out of one sermon. Right? Meeting the needs of the people. So expect to hear answers for your life today. Amen. And when you hear something, write it down. I'm a huge note taker. When God says something to me, I write it down. Why? Because I honor what he says to me. Have you ever noticed that when he says something to you, it just stands on the inside of you. You think, I'll never forget that. And then next week you go, what was that? So always take note of what God would say to you because why you're going to need it. Amen. We have been teaching in a direction and if we could say it, it's in him. I can do it. That's basically the if I could say this. The title of the if we call it a series we've had a couple of previous episodes teaching on it. And in this I want to invite you go to our website free. You can print off we have an entire listing of what we would call in him scriptures. And you can print it off, you can download it and print it out, have it feed on it. What Do I mean by in Him Scriptures? Well, when we read in the Word where it says, in him, in Christ, in whom, through him, those tell us what we can do, because we are in him, and we need to feed those truths into us and establish that in us, because this is the direction we're teaching. So I want to remind you, go and get that printed off, because we want you to have that as a resource for yourself. We have been starting telling something that God spoke to Brother Copeland years ago in the 1970s, when he was young in ministry. And God said one day to Brother Copeland, he said, I want you to sow $50,000 to Kenneth Hagin's ministry. Now, Kenneth Hagin, of course, he was our spiritual father to my husband and I, but he was a voice that spoke into Brother Copeland's life. And so when Brother Copeland heard that command of God, he had his own debt. Can you he didn't have $50,000 at his disposal right there to give. But I love the answer that Brother Copeland gave when God commanded that of him, he said, in him I could give it in him I have the $50,000. Now listen to that. In Him I have might not be in your bank account, but in him, what is it? That means that when God said, I want you to give $50,000, God intended that money come, that he was looking for a way to get that supply into Brother Copeland's hands. And until Brother Copeland said yes, he didn't have permission to supply that. But when Brother Copeland said yes, God had permission to start moving and start working. God's plan needs your yes. God, what God commands of you, needs your yes. And if you will give him your yes when you don't know how you could ever do it, God doesn't intend you to do it. He intends to do it through you. And so that just stood out so big to me when Brother Copeland told that story in him I have it, and in Him I can do it. And it wasn't just a matter of time that Brother Copeland would take any change that came into his hands. When he'd break a dollar bill or a five dollar bill, whatever, and he would take that change and he would save it up, and he would send it at different times into Brother Hagin's ministry. And he had no idea how much he had given Brother Hagin at one time. And he contacted Brother Hagin's ministry and said, how much have I given? And they said, well over $50,000. And he said, there's no way that all that change amounted to $50,000. But what was it when he said yes, Divine Supply came. Divine Supply met him. Why, in Christ he had it. And in Christ that command could be fulfilled. Don't ever look at the plan of God for your life and wonder how you're going to do it. You're not. That's right, he is. If you'll say yes, he will fulfill it through you, employing you, and then turn around and bless you for cooperating with him. I mean, the plan of heaven, the genius of heaven is so impressive that when God calls us co laborers, he's going to do the laboring and we're just going to come alongside and act like we're doing something. We are doing something. We're bringing our faith and we're saying yes to his plan. But remember what Jesus said. With all the miracles that were worked through his earthly ministry. He said, the Father in me, he does the works, the plan of God, everything God's commanded of your life. He never intended that you reach into your own ability and fulfill it. But there is a greater one on the inside of you for you to yield to and draw on and say, father, I yield to your plan. I yield to your ability. I yield to your supply. I yield to everything of God that's in me. The life of God, the strength of God, the grace of God, the resources of God to flow and meet this need. All God is looking for is our yes and a yes that doesn't turn into a no. A yes that stays a yes. No matter what the circumstances show, no matter what the eyes see, no matter what the body feels. We say yes and we don't change. You say, well, do people say yes and not change? Well, think about it. Remember when Jesus said to his disciples, let's go to the other side. They got in the boat because they were going to go to the other side with him. Of course, Jesus, he takes a nap in the boat. A storm comes up and Peter wakes up Jesus, not with Jesus, would you help us? But he woke him up, accusing. He said, carest thou not that we perish? In other words, you're not acting like us. You must not care about us. So he accused him of not caring because he was not flustered. He was not in turmoil. Listen, people don't understand faith. Faith is certain. Faith is secure. Faith is untroubled. Faith is settled. And people might not understand when you don't respond like them. But you just stay in faith because you'll help them if you'll stay in faith. And so Jesus woke up of course. Peter said, carest thou not? Then look at this. What he said, carest thou not that we perish? So what is it? He said yes to getting in the boat, but when they face a storm, he changed that yes into, we're perishing. He changed. Faith means you say what the word says, you answer, and you don't change. No matter what storms come up, no matter what you feel, no matter what you see, no matter what your finances say, faith agrees with God and doesn't come off that agreement. Amen. Well, that's what brother Copeland did. He agreed with God and he didn't come off that agreement. If you will agree with the plan of God and not come off of it, God will fulfill that plan through you. Amen. In him, that plan can come to pass. In him, you can buy that house. In him, you can build that building. Pastor. In him, you can have that property that he said is yours. The key is. What did he say to you? See, he has to command it of you. Then you can say yes to his command. Now, God, think of this. God told Pharaoh, when God's people were held in captivity in Egypt, he told Moses, go tell Pharaoh, let my people go. That was what Pharaoh was anointed to do. Let the people go. Why did not Pharaoh let the people go? Because he's thinking, the Hebrews are my workforce. They're my slave force. If I let them go, I have no workforce. But if he would have said yes to let the people go, God would have given them a workforce. God would have supplied that need without violating another man. You see? But he was only anointed to let them go, and he didn't. What happened when he did not agree with the plan? Devastation. His whole nation was devastated. Economically, politically, in their agriculture, everything. Their future was devastated. The firstborn, the spirit of death came through their city, and every home had death living in it. Why? Because Pharaoh didn't say yes. Now, when God's people were delivered out of Egypt, God leads them. Look at this. God leads them to the Red Sea. Well, you would have thought it would have made more sense to lead them a way that wasn't so big with obstacles. But God intended to do something about that. He didn't intend the Hebrews to do something about that. He intended to deal with it. So don't look at an obstacle and say, why did God do this? Why did God put me here? Why did God lead me to this place? Because he intends to show up there. He intends to manifest there. He intends to do something about that. Amen. He just needed you to show up. Notice that the waters at the Red Sea didn't part while they were back in Egypt. They had to arrive at the edge of that water edge. God will. You'll see the supplies show up when you arrive at where you're supposed to be. Many times people want to stand far back from where they're supposed to be and. And watch from a distance. Watch God move so that they can move ahead into the supply. No, you got to get your toes right up to the need. Get your toes right up to that need. And when you do, God will show the supply that he had waiting for you all along. Now, when they got up to the edge of that Red Sea, Moses started praying. That wasn't the place or the time for a prayer meeting. And God rebuked him. He said, why are you praying? He said, stretch forth your rod. In other words, it's time to act. When God gives a command, it's not time to pray. It's time to act. But know this. You can't act till you hear the command. And that's what I want you to know, is that you don't have faith for anything till you've heard what God said to you. You can't just look at what God told another man and imitate that and think that it's going to be successful. You're successful at when you hear what God commands of you. That's right. See, God told, brother copeland, give that 50,000. Now, somebody couldn't look on and say, you're giving 50,000, I'll give 50,000. If God didn't command you, you won't have faith for that. So know this, that to fulfill the plan, you have to know what the command is for your life. What is God telling you to do Now? God told Moses and told those Hebrews, cross that Red Sea. So they did it. And it was successful. But Pharaoh saw them do something and decided he could. You don't look at how another man did something to decide you can do the same. No, you can't. Not if that man is doing it at God's command. If you didn't have God's command. So in Pharaoh presumed to do what he saw another man do. What was Moses and the Hebrews delivering? Place became the grave of the Egyptians. One place for it was deliverance. That Red Sea was deliverance for Moses and God's people. But it was the grave for the man who did not hear a command. And so what's this mean anything? God commands of you. It's because the supply is waiting for your yes. But don't presume to say yes to what's not commanded of you. Amen. You can't look at another man's life and say, I want that for my life. You can't decide, I'm going to pastor if God didn't command it. You can't look at someone's success in pastoring and say, I can do that. No, you can't. Not without command, you can't. That's right. Why? Because without command, you don't have faith for it. Faith comes by hearing. Hearing the word of God. Hearing what's the word of God? It's what God's saying to us. God speaks to us through His Word and He speaks to us by His Spirit. So when I talk about hearing from God, what's the Word saying to you? What's the spirit of God saying to you? You have to know what he's saying so that you'll know what to say yes to. But you just look at what some God did through someone else and say, I want that. You know what you want? You want God's plan for your life. You don't want the plan for another man. You want the plan for your life. Don't look at what another man has and say, I want that. No, no, no. Say, I want the plan for my life. Now you can look at another man's obedience to the plan and say, you know what? If he. God, I can obey God. But you don't try to. You don't try to author what the plan looks like. You hear the plan of God and then you say yes to it. And in Christ, you can do that. Amen. God will do it through you. Everything. And I made this statement before, but everything that God tells us to do, commands us to do, can only be accomplished in Christ. In Him. It can't be accomplished in our own ability outside of Him. Everything is failure. Yes, everything is failure. Even though it looks like something might have been a success, it will have sorrow with it. When God blesses us and adds to us, there's no sorrow with it. You can add to your own life, but there'll be sorrow with it is what the Word says. So know this, when you say yes to his plan, he will fulfill it and there will be no sorrow attached to it. Amen. Now, years, sometime back, years ago.

You ever had a point in your life when you go, I keep tripping up at this point, or I keep struggling with this place in my life, and there was Just a place that seemed like I just kept bumping into a wall. I'm not talking like some deep, dark sin, but just not advancing as I ought in something. And I realized, God, I'm failing at this. And I would go back to God and I would repent and I'd say, God, I'm here to repent again over this same place. I keep missing it. You ever been there? Yes. Please tell me I'm not the only one in this room. And I remember I was. I remember where I was. And I was sitting at home and I said, God, I said, I'm here to repent again over the same thing. And I know you're tired of hearing it. I'm tired of repenting about it. But I said, I acknowledge I keep missing it here. I'm not advancing past this. And I receive your forgiveness. You know, you can't get under condemnation. Don't even go there. That's not the road out. And so I repented. Then I picked up a book, and I was just going to sit down, do some studying, and I was reading for about five minutes, and all of a sudden I had a sense. Get on your knees. So I put the book down. And just right there at my home, I just got down on my knees. And the moment my knees hit the floor, Jesus stood in front of me. And he said that I didn't see him. It's by word of knowledge. That's how it operates, primarily through me. And he said. He stood in front of me and it's like I could hear him speaking to me. And he said to me, he said, you have failed many, many times. And I thought, oh, I'm so glad I brought this up first. I'm so glad that he's not announcing this first time. And he's displeased because I'm ignoring it. I acknowledged it. I was glad I brought it up first. And he said, you have failed many, many times. And I'm so glad he didn't stop there and leave me there. And he says, but I never have. See, this is it. Why was I failing? Because I was looking at me. Yeah, he was trying to shift my focus from me to him. As long as I look at me, I keep failing. But he said, you have failed many, many times. But I never have. So what's that mean? Start looking at him, who I am in him, not who I am in this, but who I am in him. And he said, you have failed many, many times. But I never have. Then he followed it up with this So I share my success with you. Oh, sweet words. How good is that? So I share my success with you. Now you say, boy, that sounds good. But how does he. How does he share his success with us? We're in him, he says, do it in me. Move in me, in Him. Acts Paul wrote in the book of Acts, Paul made this statement. In him we live, in him we move. And in him we have our being. What's that mean? We yield to him. We depend on Him. We quit drawing out of the natural side, but we draw out of our spirit, the divine help, the divine life, the divine ability. That's how he shares his success with us. God made us successful by putting us in Christ. Now let's live as one in Christ. Now to live as one in Christ, you have to think as one in Christ, you have to bring your thoughts. If I, being in Christ, would Christ think this? If Christ won't think it, I won't think it. If Christ wouldn't do it, I won't do it. If Christ wouldn't speak those words, I won't speak them. But if as one in Christ, I'm going to speak those words, Measure. Pay attention to words. What are you speaking as one in Christ, should I be saying this as one in Christ, should I be thinking this? So to establish who we are in Christ on the inside of us, to establish that we have to think as one in Christ, we have to have Christ in Christ's thoughts. I'm in Him. So that's what Brother Copeland did when God commanded him to give that 50,000. That's what he did. He said, in Him. See, his thoughts immediately went to, I can in Him. That's what we have to train the thought life. I can in Him. We go immediately to who we are in Christ, not who we are in our financial arena, not who we are in our education, not who we are in social standing, not who we are in the home we were raised in, not who we are now. Listen, in pastoring, I know this. We've gotten to help many different people come from many different places. I've seen people who came from divorced homes that maybe their parents were divorced, grandparents divorced, they raised in that how many times the devil threatens them. When you get married, you're going to end up. You're going to end up divorced. Not in Christ, not in Him. You see, you can't go back to a past and determine that that's my future. No, you define your future by who you are in him, not what happened in your home, not in the home you were raised in. Not in the addiction you used to have, not in the failures you used to experience. Old things are passed away, all things are made new. You're in Christ now. So when Jesus said, I share my success with you, we cannot participate in his success thinking about us. We have to think about who we are in Him. That's why we're saying, go to the website, get these scriptures that we have pulled together for you. Download them, feed on them, say, put yourself in these, in these scriptures. This is who I am. This is what I can have, this is what I can do. Because I'm in Him. I'm going to leave me out of the equation. It's all in Him. Amen. When I go to preach, when I'm standing, waiting to go out to preach, sitting on the front row waiting to go up and minister, I don't look at me. I've learned, Jesus, this is your great opportunity. Can I tell you? No. Preaching is my opportunity. No setting is my opportunity. It's God's opportunity to bless the people and the people's opportunity to receive of God, remove us from the equation. God's going to flow through me, but it's his opportunity. So when God gives you the plan for your life, it's his opportunity to bless the earth through you. Yeah. Amen. We've got to remove ourselves. Now. Let's say I have to say this to clarify that you can't say, God, get rid of me, remove me. No, he's got to have you. You know, he's got to have someone to manifest through. But when you step up, no, it's not just me standing here, it's him. When you go to buy that property, that God said, it's not just you. If God said, that's your property, go get it. If God said, that's your building, go buy it, go build it. Whatever God says to you, it's not you standing alone in that. But take your eyes off of you being there, but focus on in him. In Him. This is going to come to pass. Amen. And I will say this. How many times God has said, this is yours. And I show up to lay hold of it, and it looked like it wasn't mine. But as I kept just moving with what God said, then obstacles were removed. Lack got out of the way, opposition got out of the way. Incapabilities of my own got out of the way. Amen. In Him. I can do it. So remember what Jesus said to me. You have failed many, many times. And you say, boy, I wouldn't repeat that. Well, we've all failed many, many times. The Word says we've all fallen short of the glory of God. Right. We've all sinned and come short. But he said, but I never have. So I share my success with you. And you are authorized to say, jesus, you've never failed. You've never failed. How many times has the Devil made people afraid of failing? Yeah. Yeah. There's a fear of failure. Many people, they start a business, they buy a home. The devil wants to plant in them the fear of failing. But if you will move in him, there's no failure in Him. You remove all the risk when you move with him. Hear what he commands of you and then move with Him. Add your faith to it. His command needs your faith and your obedience. But if you'll do that, he will fill your movements with his ability, his power, his supply. Know this. Jesus has never failed. And he'll never lead you to a place of failure. That's right. He'll never lead you there. When he commands something of you, there's no risk in it. There's no risk. The risk is in saying no. The risk is in failing to move ahead. It's total safety to move in to what he commands of your life. Amen. And it is a complete joy to watch God fulfill what you never could fulfill. And know this time and time again, God's going to wait for the most inopportune time. Naturally speaking, why? Because then, only then, you know you could have never fulfilled that. And everybody who knows you knows you can't do that. And God is glorified because it is putting his ability on the pedestal. It's putting him up front. God did this because I couldn't do this. God commanded it. I said yes. And God filled my yes with his ability. Amen. That's called moving in Christ. That's called living in Christ. That's called living the best life. Amen. In Christ, you can do it. In Christ, you already have it. In Christ, you're already healed. In Christ, you're already peaceful. In Christ, you're already joyful. Amen. In Christ, all things are already yours. Now act like it. Amen. Well, as I said, we've been ministering, reminding us of who we are in Christ. Go to our website, jesusthehealer.org and for free, you can download all those scriptures, feed on them, meditate on them, get it built in you. Develop that. Listen, you don't have to try to be who you are. You are in Christ, but you do have to develop the awareness and the skill of moving with Him. Amen. And we don't want you to miss next time. But until next time, remember this Jesus is the Healer. God bless you.
