Welcome. We're so glad you're with us today for Jesus the Healer. Thank you for taking the time to join us. And we're, we're just so grateful for the word of God in our lives because it won't leave us like it found us when we cooperate with it. And we give the word its proper place. You know, when you're believing God for a miracle, there is no room in our thought life and in our mouth for anything except what God says. God's word will bring us into the highest flow. And God has so much that he is. He's wanting to perform in our life, but it has to be met with our faith and our agreement. And we remember this that to have the highest order of faith, we're focusing on who we are in Christ. And that's exactly what all these episodes in this series have been about who we are in Christ. And because we're in Christ, we have so much in Christ. But not only that, we can do so much in Christ apart from him, we can't do anything. But in him we can fulfill the plan of God, the purpose of God for our life and in Christ. There's absolute provision for everything that we're going to face. Listen, everything God has called us to, he has already funded. And it's as we walk and think and speak as one in Christ, we run right into all the provision for, for the plan of God. I was thinking about something that happened with a minister that we were very close to. God had caused his ministry to increase so, so much. And he. He was on the forefront during his lifetime in the body of Christ. And there were. There was much building going on around his ministry. They were reaching out with all kinds of arms of ministry. And at one point they started falling behind financially because there were so many projects being done at once. And it looked like really that they were going to end up losing, that all the properties would go back to the bank because they were not able to meet the financial requirements. And I so love what this man of God said when his staff came to him. He had a large staff, a large campus, and his staff came to him and says, well, it looks like we could possibly lose the buildings. And I love something he said. He said, fine with me. I didn't want it to begin with. And if God's not big enough to put it over, let's find it out. Now. What was that? That's called operating in divine peace. He would not let his peace be disrupted by the circumstances around him. And you know what happened? Of course, he never lost anything because when we hold to our faith in God and stay with the plan of God, it's always going to run right into God's provision. We were talking about on the previous episode that there's in the. On the inside of every believer, God has joined to our spirits by the Holy Spirit, the nine fruits of the Spirit. And these are divine forces. They're not just feelings. They are divine forces that will help us find, finish our race. You know, the faith of God that's in every believer. God has given each one of us a measure of his own faith. We have the divine faith of God on the inside of us. And then once he gives us all that same beginning measure of his own faith, then it's up to us to nourish it. It's up to us to feed it, to exercise it, to use it so that our faith becomes strong and robust and, and developed. But divine faith has to be joined to the other divine forces of God. And we were reading In Galatians, chapter 5, in verse 22, it says, but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering. Or we could say this patience, gentleness, goodness, faith. And really the word there is faithfulness, meekness, temperance. Or we could say this self restraint, self control. Well, these are divine forces. And because they are divine forces and God has given us his own divine faith, the divine faith of God that's on the inside of us cannot be joined to human love, human joy, human peace. It won't. Faith won't work right when it's joined with the human side of these characteristics. We have been redeemed from human forces of love, joy and peace. Now we have the divine love of God, divine peace, divine joy, so that we no longer go back to the way that every other human lives listen, human Love, it will not produce what divine love will produce. Human peace will not produce what divine peace will produce, or joy or long suffering. All these things on the human level will fail. But. But we have deposited within us by the Holy Ghost the divine forces. So we have to make certain that we are drawing on these divine forces and not going back to try to live based on human love. Because what happens is that's such a low flow that it cannot accomplish and move with God. Listen, Acts chapter 17, verse 28 says, but in him we live and move and have our being because we're in Him. What belongs to us as being in him is these nine fruits of the Spirit. You know, the Word tells us walk in the Spirit. Well, what does that mean for us to walk in the spirit? When we see the word walk, it's talking about a daily lifestyle. So what's it mean to daily walk in the Spirit? It means this. Draw on the forces that the Spirit of God has put in your spirit when you are yielding to the divine love of God, not going back to human love, when you're yielding to the divine peace of God, not just trying to live on the peace that this world offers. When you draw on divine joy and all these fruits of the Spirit, that's called walking in the Spirit. You're letting these things dominate you. When that one minister was told that it looks like he could lose properties and buildings that were connected to his ministry, he stayed in divine peace. And, and he did not allow the circumstances threatening him to disrupt his faith. And so because he stayed in divine peace, you know what happened? His faith worked, right? Do you know the devil is after your faith? So what does he want to do? He wants to cause all kinds of commotion around you, to draw you out of who you are in Christ, to draw you back to the low level of the flow around you. And so when this minister said, it's not my problem if these things all go back to the bank, I so loved what this minister said. He said, I didn't want to start it to begin with. That was God's plan. Let God put it over. And that's exactly what God did. God put it over. And know this, that the devil can mess with circumstances around you to get you to accept some measure of defeat. And if you believe the circumstances around you more than you believe what God says, then the devil will rob us. But we have on the inside of us not just human faith. We have the God kind of faith. And it must be joined to these other nine fruits of the Spirit. That are. That find their origin and their source in God. Now, what does the Word tell us? It says, faith without works. It won't work. I mean, excuse me, faith without love, it won't work. Right? There is. There is a faith of God that's on the inside of you that can only be fueled by. By the love of God. You cannot join your divine faith to human love in your faith. Work. It won't work. It's got to be joined to these divine forces. So your faith needs you walking in divine love. Your faith needs you walking in divine peace. It needs you walking in divine joy. Because the faith of God is how we conduct business with heaven. And so these other nine fruits of the Spirit are given for us to conduct heaven's business with while we're on this earth and get results every time. Amen. Well, the thing is, is that we have been redeemed so that we can live as one in Christ. So because we're in Christ, it's not just about I get my bills paid, I get the healing I need. But God expects more of us than he expects of other people. Why? Because people who don't have Christ on the inside of them, they don't have these divine forces, but we do. And he expects something of us. He will not permit us and enable us. And if I could say this, he won't be able to perform his highest flow through us if we go back to these human flows. Human love, human joy, human peace. But we have to say no. With Christ in me, that means everything he drew on in his earthly life, we had to draw on in our earthly life. Amen. So it puts a demand on us that we can't be okay, well, you know, they acted that way. So, you know, you know, it's not a problem if I address them a certain way. No, it is a problem because we want our faith to work. And so we have to operate the way God tells us to. Now, what that means is we have to think of ourselves as in Christ. So what's that mean? Flesh things are off limits to us anymore. Those we got born again so that we could live free from the way we used to live. So once we're born again, we don't want to go back to the old low way of living. Amen. So what's that mean? Don't be permissive towards anything less than drawing on the divine love of God, the divine peace of God, the divine joy of God. Now, how many times people get disappointed with themselves, and I'm talking about believers, because Maybe they run into a habit, something they want to try to set aside, an addiction that they try to, if I could say this, walk free from. Do you know, on the inside of you is all the forces you need to walk free of any addiction, any bad habit, anything that tries to hold you back. It's called the fruit of temperance, that you have God's own self restraint, self discipline. And how many times people will try to develop discipline on their own, apart from God, to try to manage things that the devil has worked against their life. You can't develop enough human discipline to manage your flesh, your flesh. I mean, the devil just poke on your flesh and he can get your flesh to do all kinds of things if you're going to rely on human discipline. But God has not left you to human discipline. He gave you his own temperance. You have divine temperance. So people who say, you know what, Pastor Nancy, I know I'm born again, but I have struggled with this bad habit, this bad addiction. Why don't you lay on in Christ? I have divine temperance on the inside of me. I'm going to yield to it. I'm going to draw on it. And by that divine temperance, I have divine help to walk in divine restraint. And can I tell you this? God walks in divine restraint every day because he deals with every human on this earth. And he has to restrain himself from what? If I could say this, the harvest that humans are calling on, he restrains himself from. He doesn't want to pass judgment. The Bible says he desires mercy, not judgment. So God restrains himself. And because he restrained himself, we were brought into his family because he's so good to us, we did not get what we deserve. If everyone got what they deserved, there'd be nobody left on this earth. But in his divine restraint, we receive of the goodness and the mercy of God. That's divine restraint. That enables us to receive his goodness and mercy. Well, that same is on the inside of you. When people say, well, I just can't put up with this anymore with that person. Well, divine restraint can, and it's on the inside of you. Divine patience can, and it's on the inside of you. Draw on the wealth of the character of God that's on the inside of you. And you don't have to pray. Oh, God, send it to me. No, he's already imparted it to you by his spirit. And don't leave it dormant. Don't leave it inactive. Well, how do you get it flowing? You talk about it. You say, on the inside of me. Is the patience of God. On the inside of me is the peace of God. And I draw on that. I yield to that. You say, well, Pastor Nancy, how do I yield to it? You obey what the Spirit of God tells you to do. Now I want to go with you. Let's go to Isaiah, chapter 40. Isaiah, chapter 40. Let me get over there with this device here. Isaiah 40. And we're going to read the last verse. You'll be well acquainted with this verse. Isaiah 40 and verse 31. Isaiah 40, verse 31. We're talking about what belongs to us in Christ. Isaiah 40, verse 31. They that wait upon the Lord. Look at this. Shall renew their strength. When it talks about waiting on the Lord, what's it talking about? Being in the presence of God. Do you know that in Christ, his presence belongs to us? Access to him belongs to us. Hebrews 12. Excuse me? Hebrews 4, verse 16 says, Come boldly to the throne of grace. You can do that for one reason. You're in Christ and Christ is in you. And you have access to the throne of God. Not only do you have access to the nature of God, the characteristics of God, the fruits of the spirit that are on the inside of you, you have access to the very presence of God himself. Now, you'll remember that when God visited Moses, remember that burning bush. And Moses saw this bush burning, and he turned aside. And when he turned aside to see this spectacle of the burning bush, the bush that was on fire but didn't burn up, God spoke to him and gave him the assignment for his life. And he said, go back and tell Pharaoh to let my people go. You'll. If you'll remember this passage. Moses said, I won't go unless you go with me. And God said, my presence will go with you. Can I tell you what we have? A better covenant we don't have. Any less available to us than Moses had to him. And God said to Moses, my presence will go with you. How do we have it better? Under a better covenant. We have his presence in us. And I want you to know, being in Christ means that his presence is in us and available to us at every turn. And no longer are we to. If I could say this. Ignore his presence to be occupied with circumstances. But anytime troubling circumstances try to arise, we're to turn back to recognizing. Because I'm in Christ, he is in me, and his presence is always in me. Now look at verse 31 again of Isaiah 40. But they that wait upon the Lord. What is that? Spend time in the Presence of God. Do you know you can have. We have the. We have God on the inside of us. When people say, I've got to get in the presence of God, we know what they mean by that. But can I tell you, there's never a time God's not present in you. He will never leave you or forsake you, even when you miss it, even when you go a wrong direction. He doesn't withdraw himself from you, but even though his presence is in us. We see this in verse 31 of Isaiah 40. But they that wait upon the Lord. What's that mean? Take it. Take time to spend in fellowship with the one who's present in you. You know, if you were sitting at home one day and you were just doing things around the house, cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, you know, fixing things around the house, doing laundry, doing ironing, whatever chores of the household, and someone knocks on your door and they come to visit you, and you say, oh, it's so good to see you. Come in, have a seat. And you sit them on the couch in your living room. And then you walk off and you just go around and you start cleaning your kitchen, you start vacuuming the floor. You go outside and mow the lawn. And you're doing things and they're present. They came to fellowship with you, but you welcomed them in. You let them in, but you ignored them once they were in. I want you to know, in Christ, his presence belongs to us. Let's not ignore that he's in us for. Not just to heal us, not just to provide for us, not just to offer these nine fruits of the Spirit and make them ours. But he has made himself available for our own fellowship every single day. So in Isaiah 40:31. But they that wait upon the Lord, look at this. They shall renew their strength. It doesn't even say that God will do it. They do it just by simply being around Him. You know, there are certain men of God that God has put in our life that my husband and I got the. Got the privilege of spending with some of these generals, spending time with them. And there were certain ones that you would get around and you would just sit and hear them talk around the dinner table. And impartations would come. You would get something. You'd walk away from that table and saying, something went in me. There was a strength that went into my faith. There was a revelation that dawned on my spirit. Just sitting and listening to them talk about their walk with God. It would elevate and bring something into us. Well, how much more just being in the presence of God, it will, it says here, it will renew your strength. The word renew means exchange. So when you get in the presence of God, there's a divine exchange that happens. That's what belongs to you in Christ. A divine exchange from the human to the divine. We're no longer trying to conduct life on the level of the human, but we're living at the level of the divine. Why? Because the divine fruits of God are on the inside of us. The divine faith of God is on the inside of us. And to parent it all and to water it all, is the divine presence of God. There never should be a time in our life when we're, if I could say this, spiritually dried up. Why? Because we have his presence to water every single feature, flow and facet and arena of our life. But it says that they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Look at this. There's a divine strength that belongs to you that you're not living this life on human strength, but there's divine strength we're drawing on. Then it says, they shall mount up with wings, as eagles. They shall run. Look at this. Run and not be weary. Run and not be weary. There's a pace that belongs to us, that will energize us. It won't take something out of us, it'll put something in us. And then it says they will walk and not faint. So as we walk with him, we get stronger, we don't get weaker. But if we're living outside of Christ, any running we do, any walking we do and carrying out this life will weaken us. But in Christ, when we walk, when we run, we end up getting stronger, going further, because divine strength belongs to us. Amen. So much belongs to us in Christ. Let's not leave it untapped. The love of God, the faith of God, the nine fruits of the Spirit, but even the most, the presence of God himself that we enjoy, his companionship for the journey. There's so much that belongs to us in Christ. And let us live as rich as we are. Amen. Well, until next time, we want to remind you of this. Jesus is the healer. God bless you.
