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 to be in the midst of a series called In Christ I Can. And everything belongs to us because we belong to Christ and because Christ is in us. And that's all the plan of God. Do you know that everything God planned for your life, he put in Christ and then he put Christ in you and said, now you can spend him. Aren't you so grateful you're not just left to spend you in this life? Your mentality, your feelings, your education, those things may be a help and a benefit in a in a measure, but they are no substitute for who Christ is in us. And they are certainly no replacement for him at work, for us and through us. And so if you've missed any of the previous episodes, we invite you, go back and watch them, you know, because all things belong to us, because we belong to Christ. I want to read this to you. This is Colossians. This is one of the keynote verses that we've been going to. But I want to read to you out of Colossians chapter 2. If you want to get your Bible and follow along with us, you can, because you may want to take some notes for yourself. But I want to read Colossians chapter 2 in verse 9, it 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. Look at this through your union with Christ. So know this. Everything that's available to Christ is available to you. All of God that's available to him is available to us as well. Because we are co heirs with Jesus. Anything that God made his, God made ours. Because we share equally in what. In what belongs to Jesus. Because we are in him and he is in us. Can I tell you this. The Word tells us in John chapter 15. It talks about the vine, Jesus being the vine and us being the branch. Do you know that there's nothing that the vine holds that is withheld from the branch? There is a complete free flow from what the vine contains into the branch. And Jesus is the vine, and there is nothing of him or his flow that is withheld from us. And God put everything he intended for our life to have in Christ, and then he put Christ in us and us in Christ. So I tell you, we are loaded, we are rich, but it is because God has given it. We are the current possessors of all that is in Christ. What's in Christ, health is in him. Provision is in him. Peace, victory, joy, all the fruits of the spirit. That Galatians 5:22 refers to everything of the life of God, the nature of God, everything that heaven itself enjoys has been provided for us. Now we are possessors of it. But it's by faith that we partake of what we possess. Now, you can possess something but not be partaking of it. You know, I have a vehicle right now, but I'm not in it. You can have something and not be in it. The Word tells us to examine yourself to see whether you're in the faith. Now notice it doesn't say examine yourself to see whether you have faith. Because if you're born again, that you have been given the measure of faith, the measure of God's own faith, so we can have his faith but not be using it. So the Word does warn us, says, examine yourself to see whether you're in the faith. So you can have faith and not be in it. Just like you can have a house and not be in it. You can have a vehicle and not be in it. So we don't want to have faith and not be in that faith. We have to be exercising that faith, because that's what turns us into a partaker of who Christ is in us. Now, I want us to look at Philemon, and there's only one chapter in Philemon, and I'm going to ask him to put Philemon 1, verse 6 on the screen. This is the King James translation that we're going to read, because this verse tells us how to move from being a possessor into a partaker. And it says this, that the communication of thy faith becomes effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you, in Christ. Now notice this, that our faith goes into effect when we acknowledge everything. Every look at this good thing that is in us, in Christ Jesus. So it's every good thing is in Christ and then Christ is in us. And then how do we go from being just a possessor to a partaker? We have to employ our faith. And what does faith do? Faith acknowledges in Christ, that's mine and I receive it. So don't just be a possessor, move into being a partaker. And this is by faith that we partake. What has been made yours in Christ will not show up automatically. It's faith that lays hold of it and says, I'm a partaker of this in my daily life. And if I could say this, don't wait till the emergencies of life to be a partaker. Learn to release your faith every day to partake of what is yours in Christ. Now, we're not trying to talk God into giving us something because everything we need he's already given and he's put it in Christ. So it's about as we release our faith and we exercise our faith and we stand in faith and we act in faith, and we speak in faith and we think in line with faith, that these things are laid hold of and they are able to become not just something we possess, but something we partake of. Now know this. Everything that God has blessed you with, the devil is busy trying to steal it from you. He's trying to hinder you from being a partaker. And then even once you receive something that God has made yours, the devil's still busy trying to steal it from you. So just because it's ours in Christ, we're not ever dismissed from faith. We still have to release our faith. Now, receiving is always easy. Why? Because faith is not hard. Faith is simply agreeing with God. Faith is saying, if God says, that's mine, then it's mine. Thank you. I'll take it. That's how easy it is. Can I tell you what makes it hard? Is when we start mingling the reasonings of man into this which God has made ours. We're trying to calculate, we're trying to figure out, we're trying to measure how God's going going to do something. And the mind of man cannot, it cannot contain, it cannot evaluate, it cannot completely understand exactly how God's going to do something. And God doesn't need our mind to understand it. He just needs our heart to accept it. He needs our faith to agree with him. And know this, that it's faith that pleases God. He is pleased. Whenever we say God says it's mine. And that's enough for me. Without any natural evidence, without anything of this natural world giving us evidence. We say, God said that, and that's enough for me. I believe that that's what pleases God because now he can manifest without hindrance in our life. So receiving from God is easy. And I want you to learn to say this. Receiving from God is easy for me because so much of the time we. We're faced with circumstances and situations that can look tangled, they can look complicated. And if we're not careful, we think receiving from God is complicated. Just because a situation on this side of heaven, something in your life might look complicated. It might look tangled, it might look, oh, I don't understand this. On God's side, it's not hard. Everything with God is easy. Nothing looks complicated to God because nothing is complicated. So we are authorized by faith to see, oh, this is easy for God. I don't know how he's going to do it. I don't know where he's going to get it from. I don't know who he's going to use to help in this situation. I just know it's easy on God's side. So it's easy for me to receive. If we think it's hard to receive from God, we turn it hard. But remember what Jesus said. He said, come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I'll give you rest. What's he talking about? He said, my yoke is easy, My burden is light. It is easy when we involve. When we involve God in it and we take his view of it instead of the reasoning view of the mind of man. So you learn to say, all things belong to me because I have Christ. Christ is in me and everything is made mine. And it is so easy for me to receive all that has been made mine in Christ. And know this. Because God put everything he wanted for you in Christ. There's nothing left for him to offer you. He's already given it all. So we don't have to talk God into giving us something. We don't have to coerce him into moving in our situation. Because he's given every help, every answer, every supply, every provision that you're ever going to need in Christ. And he put Christ in you and said, now spend as you would, spend as much as you will. And how many of you know, he puts no limit on how much of Christ we partake of. He puts no limit on it. So it's up to us that we can have as much of him as we will lay hold of with Faith. Now, as I said, we have to exercise our faith to receive or to partake of what we possess in Christ. But we have to realize God is not slow in manifesting these things. We just have an enemy who tries to block our manifestation. Remember when Daniel, he was reading in the Word of God and he recognized that God had spoken by prophecy that God's people would be in captivity for 70 years. Well, they were at that 70 year point. And Daniel realizes the people are still in captivity. So he begins taking this word from God before God and he starts praying about it. And so it said that for 33 weeks he prayed. And he went on a partial fast during that time because he is giving his whole attention to bringing this matter before God. And if you'll remember, after 21 days, there was an angel that appeared to him. And he said, I, your prayer was heard the first day you prayed. But basically what the angel was saying was there was a hindrance. There were. There were evil spirits that were hindering and trying to block me getting through. And so notice this, he said to Daniel, you were heard the first day. So if something is delayed, it's not on God's side. The devil is seeking to hinder and hold back. But what is the job of faith? The job of faith to say, I know it's mine in Christ and I don't care what hindrance comes. You will not rob me. I will hold fast until my answer comes into manifestation. And that is the joy of faith. And that is knowing I am not moved by what I see or feel because I know what's mine in Christ. Can I tell you this? We are to live independent of circumstances. That's what the renewed mind knows. Circumstances can escalate, circumstances can look worse, circumstances can subside. But circumstances don't change what I believe I am independent of circumstances. If we're going to let circumstances rule us and rule our faith, we are going to not arrive at all God has for us. Because we have to realize, I don't care what circumstances say, they don't change what I believe and they don't change what belongs to me in Christ. I hold fast to what belongs to me in Christ. So we have to realize that God is not slow in manifesting our answer. But there is an enemy to us. There is. There are hindrances that the devil tries to put in the way to block us from receiving because he wants us to think that our faith and the power of God doesn't work for us. But it does. So what we're to do is to hold fast. Now, we're not just standing on the Word at the time that our answer manifests. Do you know that holding fast in the face of opposition is still a flow of the Word? It's still a flow of faith. The devil wants to make you think that if your. If your answer is slow in manifesting that your faith doesn't work. That's not true. Standing on the Word, holding fast to what God said to you is as much a part of faith, is receiving the manifestation is part of faith. Amen. So I want to read to you first. Thessalonians, chapter 5 and verse 21, it says this, Prove all things. Look at this next phrase. Hold fast to that which is good. How many of you know that God only put good things for you in Christ? Wouldn't you say healing is good? Wouldn't you say that prosperity is good? The nine fruits of the Spirit, Love, joy, peace, meekness, temperance, goodness. All of these fruits of the spirit Spirit that God has already put in you. Aren't these things good? What about answers for your need? What about supply for your need? All of these things are good. But notice we have to hold fast to that which is good. Why? Because the devil wants to rob us from receiving of it. Now I want to read another scripture. Let me find it. It's in the book of Revelation. Let me look real quick. And I want to read to you Revelation, chapter 2 and verse 25, it says this. But that which ye have already, hold fast till I come. Now notice, if there was not an enemy that was trying to rob from us, why would we need to hold fast to it? But I want you to see the wording. But that which you have already, do you know that already? Everything that's in Christ is already yours. It's already yours. Healing, prosperity, victory. All these things are already yours. They already belong to you. Now if you'll hold fast to that, that it's already mine, then God can manifest that. And it makes us to become a partaker of what we already have. When you're believing God for an answer, you already have your answer. It belongs to you. But it's faith that you just stand in faith until that answer manifests. You're not trying to talk God into giving it. He has given you all things that pertain to life and godliness. Amen. That's what Peter tells us. He has already given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness. You don't need to talk God into giving you something more. He has already all there's nothing left. He's withheld none of himself from you. He put it all in Christ, and put Christ in you. And says, now partake. Spend him, draw on him, respond to him, yield to him, and let him manifest through you. So again, Revelation, chapter 2, verse 25. But that which you have already, hold fast. So when you say, by his stripes, I'm healed. But the devil says, but you still got pain. I hold fast to what I already have. I already have healing. I'm not trying to get healing. I already have it. This is part of living in Christ. Hold fast. Now, when you are someone who knows how to hold fast, no matter what circumstances show up, God can use you in great ways. He can send you to, if I could say this, the difficult things in life, he can send you to, to be a help to someone who doesn't know what you know, because you know how to hold fast. You don't question God just because the devil's trying to interfere with your manifestation. Whenever manifestation seems slow in coming. Don't question God. Question the devil. Doubt him. Because he's the one who tries to hinder and slow down and interrupt us receiving. That's why we hold fast. Because if we'll hold fast, we will outlast the devil and the devil. Listen. The nine fruits of the Spirit that are listed In Galatians, chapter 5, verse 22, one of those fruits of the Spirit is called patience. Now, how many of you know these nine fruits of the Spirit are the attributes of God. They are the outflow of God himself. These aren't human characteristics that God blessed. These are God's own attributes, and he put them in you. There is human patience, but this is not talking about human patience. This is talking about divine patience. The nine fruits of the Spirit are divine. And so we don't draw on the human aspect anymore. We draw on the divine aspects which are these 9, 9 fruits of the Spirit. One of them is patience. It's divine patience. God is patient, and he put his own patience in you. So when you encounter the devil, know this. You have something the devil doesn't have. He has none of these attributes. The devil is not patient. And if we will hold fast, we can simply outlast Him. Amen. Because we refuse to be robbed from. And you say, well, it seems delayed in coming. Have you ever noticed that the more you just hold fast to God, it presses you further into God, to where you even lean heavier on him. And what happens? You end up knowing him better. So what? The devil meant to rob from you, it only presses you into God and you end up learning your father better and better, and your faith grows stronger. And the devil ended up doing you a favor and did not know that he. He was going to end up helping fortify you and your walk with God. So know this that it says again in 1st Thessalonians, chapter 5, verse 21, prove all things, hold fast that which is good. This word hold fast. It means hold hard. Hold hard to have you ever seen two toddlers that they both want the same toy, and one gets one end of that toy, one gets the other, and they're holding fast to that. One of them is letting go. After a period of time, one of them will weary or one of them will get so frustrated they'll just let go of it. But the one who didn't let go ends up with it. I want you to know the devil is counting on you letting go. But when you're in faith and you're holding fast, there is no let go in us. We refuse to let go of what's ours in Christ. We will not be robbed from by the devil taking from us what has been made out. Ours in Christ. We hold hard to it. Now, to hold fast, we have to realize our confession plays into this. What are we saying? That we are to hold fast to that what Jesus has provided, it is mine right now, even though it's not. It might not be showing up right now, or I might not be able to see it in manifestation. It's still mine, and I will hold fast with my words, with my confession. Now, when you recognize that in Christ wholeness is mine in Christ, restoration of health is mine. That all belongs to me, well, you start taking your stand and you say, I thank you that in Christ I'm whole and I receive wholeness because it belongs to me in Christ who and the devil will say, but look, you still feel pain. I don't care what I feel because I'm not talking about what I feel. I'm talking about what's mine in Christ. And the devil's always got a strategy to try to pull you away from who you are in Christ. So you say, I don't care what my body feels. I'm not whole because my body feels good. I'm whole because I'm in Christ and wholeness is mine in Christ. And you hold fast to that. No matter what symptoms come, no matter what pain comes, no matter what report comes. And I will say this, I need to help people understand something. I saw this many times in Pastoring is that people would come to me and they would say, pastor Nancy, I'm getting ready to go to the doctor. Believe with me for a good report. And I would always say to them, remember this, when you go to the doctor, you've already got a good report. Jesus has given you the good report. You are the healed. Don't let the report of the doctor change the report God has already given you. You hold fast to what God said and expect the doctor's report to change, to come in line with what God says. So don't put your faith on what the doctor says. Put your faith in what God says. If people say, just believe with me, I'll get a good report from the doctor. Many times they're setting their faith on what the doctor says. But we already have our faith set on what God says. We already have the good report. Well, Pastor Nancy, what if the doctor tells me a report that's less than good? Well, just meditate on the good report God's already given you. That's called holding fast. We're not ignoring what the doctor is saying. We're just saying, I have a higher report and I'm going to hold to that. And if I hold to that, it will change the situation and the circumstances in my body. And even the doctor will testify to it. Amen. So we have to realize that there is always something that's going to come that's going to try to get us to change our confession. But if we change what we're confessing, then we'll end up not partaking of all that belongs to us in Christ. So when you say, by his stripes, I'm healed in Christ, I'm already whole. And circumstances, symptoms, pain that they show up, say pain, you will not get me to let go of what's mine in Christ, Satan. You will not get me to let go. I hold fast. Now, if you say, if you say, God, I believe, I receive my healing because wholeness is mine in Christ. And then someone asks you, how are you feeling? You go, well, I'm hurting as bad as I ever did. Now, see those, that second confession nullifies the first one. It makes it of no effect. We have to have the same confession to others, to ourselves, to God and to the devil. We have to hold fast confession. Now, if we vacillate in our confession, that's why symptoms persist. If we will hold fast to what God says and have no other confession, then our body must come in line with that and opposition must take its hands off our body. But if we're going to have two confessions. We're going to end up being robbed from of what has been made ours in Christ. Well, there's so much to teach along this line and so much we want to say to you. Because in Christ requires our knowledge and it also requires our faith, our cooperation, our agreement. And so we're going to be ministering along these lines as we continue in the next episode. And we say this, don't miss the next episode. And if you if you've missed previous episodes, go back and watch them. And until next time, remember this Jesus is the Healer. God bless you.
