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 to have you today for Jesus the healer. Come on in. We have saved you a spot and it's right in front of that device you're watching. And we invite you, get hold of your Bible and something to take notes on, because we're believing that God's going to answer some things for you and speak to you about things that you just need clarity on. And so we want you to take note of anything that God would say. And know this, that just sitting in the atmosphere of the teaching of the Word, that God will speak to you. Things that don't come out of my mouth just being in the atmosphere of the Word, you hear. And so we want you to take note of what God would say. And we're in the middle of a series that we've been on for a while now, and we invite you, go back and watch any previous episodes you may have missed. And this series is called In Christ I Can. And I'm just going to say we're going to be on it forever because I don't know how long or we're willing to be on it forever. How about that? We'll just go as long as the Holy Ghost wants us to go. Because this is such a foundation, foundational truth to the life of the believer, that we are redeemed, born again. We have the life of God, the nature of God, God's eternal life on the inside of us. Why? So that that life could be what we draw out of that we're no longer just drawing out of the natural sight of man. And we have been redeemed from living a low flow. And we've been brought into drawing on the life of God because that gives us the life when we're hearers of the Word, but also doers of the Word. And so when we Find out who we are in Christ, we stop being okay with less than that. And so it's just been a joy to take some time to discover these things in the Word with you. And we never run out. We just keep learning. And it is, it's so important for us to realize that God, everything He planned for your life, every provision your life needs, everything the plan he authored for your life calls for, he's put all the supply for that, all the help for that, all the resources for that in Christ. And I just say it this way, it's as though Christ is the treasure box who contains everything that God intended for your life, everything God dreamed of for you, everything God wanted for you, planned for you, he's provided for you and he has made it yours. And he put it in Christ. And then he put Christ in you and you in Christ. And so why would we ever just spend us when we could draw on the greater One in us and put him to work for us? And really that's what he's in there to do. He's on the inside of us to manifest and move. And if I could say this, live the divine life through us. And so we've got to be okay. We've got to get to the point where we're not just okay living life on autopilot, but we're pressing so that we can discover more and more of what's ours and become skillful at putting him to work for you. Amen. There is a passage that I so appreciate. It's found in Hebrews, chapter four, verse three and the Amplified Classic translation. And I'm just going to quote the very last phrase of Hebrew 4, verse 3, the Amplified classic. This passage is talking about when God delivered His people out of Egypt. And He. When he delivered them out of Egypt, remember how they came out of Egypt? They came out. There was not one sick one among them. Think of that. That's God's plan. That when he in his plan to deliver them from Egypt, his plan was that they come out whole, not one sick one and not broke. Now think of this. Their history was slavery. They are not acquiring wealth in that land that they're in as slaves, but in one day God brings them out and they come out whole physically, and they come out with the wealth of Egypt. It's amazing that what God can do in one day what they could not accomplish in generations. And so God's plan was total abundance and fulfillment. And he led them to. To the Red Sea. And notice this, he led them to a place where only he could deliver them here. They came out of Egypt. When I say they came out with the wealth of Egypt, what do I mean? Well, if you'll remember the day of their exit, God gave a command to Moses and he said, go tell the people to command of their rulers to have the silver and the gold. The King James said to borrow it. Well, that's not the accurate translation. It was more like they commanded it, they weren't borrowing it. And the Bible says that God gave them favor in the eyes of the Egyptians. And their masters just turned, handed over to them the silver and the gold. You say, why would God do that? After you've been in slavery for generations, you're owed something, you know. And God decided that that day was payday. And so it was, if I could say this, it was back pay for all the years of slavery. And so God intended, set the record right, that one day. And so he gave them all this wealth of the greatest, one of the greatest nations on earth. But then he sent them on the way toward the wilderness, and he sent them on a route that they could not spend the wealth. Isn't that interesting? He gave them wealth, then gave them a path where their wealth wouldn't help them. Why? He wanted to train them. I'm your help. I'm your deliverer. He did not want them to get their faith set on their resources. He did not want money to be what they trusted him. So he gave them all the wealth of Egypt, then sent them into a place where it wouldn't even work for them. And they were going to have to learn him. And so they got to the Red Sea and they saw what God would do for them. When they were at the Red Sea, there's of course, the sea in front of them. There's an. There's a mountain range on the left, there's a mountain range on the right. And while they're in that place, there also shows up the mad enemy army, the Egyptian army that they've got dead firstborn. And they're coming after these people. But notice even though the Egyptians were coming after them, they were still free people. They had already been delivered. Just know this, that the devil will try to pursue you. Once God has freed you from something, he shows back up with a counter attack to try to convince you to come back into bondage. But notice they were still out of Egypt. They were still free. God said this to me years ago. He said, just because you can still see the Egyptians and doesn't mean you're back in Egypt. And I want you to know symptoms will try to pursue you. Lack will try to pursue you. Fear or any kind of addictions or bondages may try to pursue you. But don't ever believe that you're not free. You are still free. And so when that mad enemy army tried to pursue them, God had a plan for them. Notice that he had already planned their exit before they even reached that point of needing an exit. In the book of Psalm, and I don't have the passage in front of me, but it just, it basically states this. It says that God's way of delivering his people was through the sea. Now notice he chooses a way of delivering us that we would have never even considered. God has avenues, God has rescues for us that we have never thought of before. I love something that brother Copeland prayed over me. One time he. Not long after my husband had. Had died, Brother Copeland called me and he prayed for me. And one of the things he said in that prayer, he said, he prayed and he said, God, he said, bless her in ways unknown to her. Listen, God has so many ways that you know nothing about. Don't decide that what that you can' have something just because you don't know the way that God would perform it. God has ways that you don't even know about. Well, God had a way of deliverance that these, that these Hebrews could have never imagined. But the Bible says that God's way of delivering his people was through the sea. And it said that God's footprints were in the sea. So what happened when the waters parted? They saw the path that God had already prepared for them. Listen, God has already prepared your victory. I don't care what you're facing. I don't care what's coming against you. God is not at the last moment trying to figure out an exit or a rescue plan for you. He has already prepared your. Your rescue and your exit long before you ever encountered your need. And so notice this, that they. They were commanded walk across that. That. That sea. And so they went across the Red Sea. But you know what the Bible says it was dry land. I mean, they didn't even get mud on themselves. But yet when the enemy army tried to take the exact same path, they were drowned. In the place that became God's people came the Hebrews way of deliverance became the way of defeat for the enemy. So know this. God already prepared an exit for them. This is what Hebrews chapter four, verse three, the Amplified classic translation. The very last phrase said that God was displeased with his People because even though they had seen all the ways that God had worked to deliver them, they still wouldn't believe him. And so that first generation never arrived at the promised land. But it's God spoke and he said they cannot enter my rest. Why? Because they wouldn't believe him. God was not wanting them to spend their life outside of his plan or outside of the land he provided. But because they wouldn't believe, they could not enter in it's faith that enters into things that unbelief will never get to partake of. And I want you to know, in Christ is everything your life calls for, but it requires your faith. You have to believe God to see the manifestation of what belongs to you in Christ. It will not automatically just drop on you. And so when something was expected of the Hebrews, when it was expected of them that they believed God, they did not step up to that. They stepped back from believing God instead of leaning into believing God. And this displeased God. He wasn't angry with them and trying to withhold, but he knew that their unbelief would rob from them entering in to what he had for them. And the Bible says again in Hebrews 4, 3 it says that God said they will not enter my rest. And then the phrase I so love this, it says, he said this although his works had been completed and prepared and waiting for all who would believe from the foundation of the world. Now look at that phrase. He said I've already completed, prepared everything they're going to need and it's waiting for them. Well what's it waiting on? It's waiting for all who would believe. So faith is what unpacks the treasure box. Faith is what turns us into a partaker of what is ours in Christ. Everything your life calls for, everything the plan of God for your life calls for. God's already completed. He's already prepared every supply, every provision, every resource you're going to need to fulfill the plan. But it's waiting for something. What's it waiting for? It's waiting for faith to show up. Well those Hebrews, God had already prepared the promised land. He had already prepared every resource they would need. But they never showed up to lay hold of that promised land during that first generation. Why did they not? They didn't believe. They did not build what God said in them. If we don't build what God says in us, then we. If I could say this, any old thing can fill our tank. And so what's that mean? The devil will offer you doubt he'll offer you fear. And if you don't fill up with what God says, then the only thing left for you is what God did not say to you. God doesn't bring you fear. God doesn't bring you worry. God doesn't bring you lack. He doesn't bring you heartbreak and crisis and tragedy. But if we don't fill up with what he says, there's no way that he has of getting in us and in our lives the things that he's provided for us in us is the greater one. But we still have to cooperate and use our faith to draw out that which is in us. And so this is where God's people missed it. They did not believe that what he had provided was enough for them. And they did not build God's word in them. But I want you to see this phrase, Hebrews 4:3, that God had already completed and prepared everything they would need. When did he do it? The last phrase said, from the foundation of the world. What's that mean? Before they were even born on the earth, God had already prepared a path through that Red Sea. Before they showed up at the Red Sea, before their need at that Red Sea ever showed up, God had already prepared it from the foundation of the world. Can I say this? Every need that's in your life, God has already supplied it from the foundation of the world before you were ever born, before your need ever showed up, he already had the answer. Fully stocked. That's why we can have faith. Because we're not. We're not just hoping God at the last minute throws some resolution together, some help for us together that will eke us through into the side of victory. That has. That is not how God operates. Before your need ever showed up, he already had the answer. If you will face every need, knowing God has already provided, where's the struggle? Why? Why do we not rest if we know, if we believe that Scripture. God's already completed my answer. He's already completed my help. He's already completed my supply. He's already completed the resources for you pastors. He's already prepared and provided a building that you need for your congregation, for you business owners. He's already provided all that you're ever going to need. And, but you say, well, if he has, how come I don't have it? Because it's waiting for faith to show up and lay hold of it. It will not come to us and fall on us automatically. We have to receive what's already been provided by faith. But notice it says in Hebrews 4, 3. That although his works had been completed and prepared and waiting, if you don't lay hold of it, no one else can. I'm talking about the provision that belongs to you. It's waiting for you. And don't let it keep waiting. We think, how many times have we thought, God, I'm waiting for you to do this. God, I'm waiting. And he's waiting for our faith to show up and lay hold of what he's already completed and prepared. Because I don't want to have a storage house in heaven of things that were unclaimed. I want to fully participate and lay hold of everything he has already provided. In Christ is the storage tank. In Christ is the treasure box. In Christ is that storage room that holds everything God intended for your life. Now, how do we draw it? We say, in Christ, I have that home. In Christ I have that building. In Christ I have that business. In Christ I have that equipment. In Christ I have the customers I need. In Christ I have the employees that I need to fulfill this. In Christ I have the wisdom. In Christ, I have the health. In Christ I have the love, the joy, the peace, all the divine resources. Everything God planned for us, he put in Christ. So we are to leave the ground, so to speak, that stands on, that people stand on, of asking God to do something. God, do this. God, he's already completed and prepared all you ever need. And people say, well, if he's completed and prepared all I'll ever need, why am I struggling? Well, number one, it's either you're not, we're not using our faith for it, or number two, we're trying to carry out a plan different than he provided for your plan that you authored. He did not equip with his provision. His plan that he authored is fully equipped, fully supplied with his provision. So if you realize I'm walking down a certain path, but I'm meeting nothing of provision. I'm just meeting hardship, difficulty, crisis, lack. Then you need to evaluate, are you on the right path? Because his path is fully stopped now. Even when we're carrying out the plan of God, all that belongs to us in that plan will not automatically show up. It takes faith to lay hold of it. So you can know, for example, somebody may say, well, I know I'm called to be a pastor, but I've got all these unpaid bills, or my church is lacking, having this, having that. And you say, why is it if I'm on the path of God, because the path of God still calls for your faith. You can't just get on the path and think that everything is just going to magically appear. It's waiting for our faith. It's already stopped, but it's waiting for our faith to lay hold of it. And if we don't know that these things are in Christ, many times we'll be praying, asking, oh God, do something, God, do something. Instead of realizing he's already fully stocked his plan with all the supply we'll need. Now, I've said this before, but it's so important that we understand this in the provision of God, in the supply of God. Don't limit him to money. That money is part of what he'll supply you with. But know this, we need more than money. Sometimes we just need. We need right equipment, we need right resources, we need the right help, we need the right voices in our life. We need the right. We need. We need the faith of others. We need a pastor that teaches us the Word. We have so many layers of different things that we have needs of in our life. Don't dumb down the provision of God to only money, because there are things that you're going to need in life that money could never get you. You know, whenever God told me that he was going to give me the vacation home of Amy Semple McPherson, now she was an evangelist that was on the forefront in the early half of the nighttime. And she had a vacation home that was out in the area where our church is. And God spoke to me one time when our students, we were touring that, and God spoke to me later and he said, I'm going to give you that home. Well, that home was very desirable by a lot of people. There are people that were well known in this world. They were famous, well known people. There were people who worked closely with those who did own the home. And there are many who tried to buy that home, but the owners wouldn't sell it to them. But God said, I'm going to give you that home. And when he said that, that home was not for sale. In fact, when I bought that home, that home was still not on the market. But I had contacted the owner and I asked them if they would be interested in selling it. They said, well, we did not plan to sell it, but because it's you asking, we'll sell it to you. They had declined so many people from buying the home, and if I could say this, people who had naturally more resources than me made them offers and they still couldn't buy it because money couldn't buy it. Only the favor of God could get it for me. And that's why I don't want you to limit that. God only is your provider when it comes to finances. He. He's your provider for every supply, every resource you will need. Don't put limits on it. And especially just dollar amounts. And so God. I knew this when God told me that I'm going to give you that home. At the time, we were over $6 million in debt. My husband had just gone home to be with the Lord. We had buildings that needed to be paid off. We had projects that we had to finish. And God said it to me at a most inopportune time. I. In fact, when he said, I'm going to give you that home, at first I said, no, thank you, because I didn't need another project on my plate. But I've learned this about God is He does not pick moments of convenience to supply a miracle for you. He will, at the most inconvenient time, put a demand on your faith. Because then he it, when it comes to pass, everyone will know only God could have done that. And so he delights to do it at a time when everyone knows you couldn't have done it for yourself. And so he gave me that home. But I knew this when I bought the home. I wasn't just buying a home, I was buying a renovation, because that home is around 100 years old. And I knew that it needed renovating. But I knew that when God gave me the home, he was also. He had already completed and prepared all the resources that I would need to renovate that home. To. To have that home returned to its original grandeur. God had already completed that. And you know that I started. I've started the restoration process, the, the reconstruction process on that home. You say, did you have enough money to finish it? No, I don't need the money to finish it. I had enough to. I'm a starter. That's what faith is. Faith starts and expects that God will supply the finish. Why? Because Hebrews 4:3 tells us he's already completed. He's already prepared. He's already. He's already supplied everything we need. And if we'll get on that faith road with him, then as we go down that road, we will reach the finish. And all of the provision is already provided for in the finish. And so God's already finished the provision for that. All I have to do is move with him and say, in Christ, it's already completed, it's prepared, and there is no worry, there is no struggle. All I have to do is know what he's saying to me and move with what he says. Because his direction to your life, his command to your life, he has already fully stopped with himself. And so know this, you may be facing some things today. And you say, Pastor Nancy, I don't know how I'm going to get out from point A to point B. I don't know how I'm going to get from this place of need to this place of answers or provision. God knows. And I want you to know that in you is all the help, the divine help you need. Because Christ is in you and you are in Christ. So every day get up and you can, you can easily and freely make this statement. Today Christ puts me over everything I need. Today I find in Christ and Christ is in me. I will never have one need unmet because Christ is in me. I'm in him and I'm spending him today. And I'm not relying on my own resources because I have the wealth of heaven on the inside of me. Amen. I want you to know the devil would love to trouble your mind, but you have to know what's in Christ so that you can give him the answer of the Word and you can live in peace and joy and have absolutely no struggle as you move forward in the plan of God. Amen. Well, we're going to keep going along this line and you don't want to miss next time. And until next time, remember this Jesus is the healer. God bless you.
