Welcome. We're so glad you're joining us today for Jesus the healer. Thank you for taking the time to spend around the Word with us. And aren't you thankful for the Word? And I will say this, it is one of the greatest joys of my life to get to bring this word to you. And I remember that whenever Brother Copeland invited us on and he invited us to have a daily broadcast, which I so appreciate his great generosity. But in that, you know, they said, now, Nancy, the daily broadcast is so daily. And I said, well, I have it in my heart to do it. But once we started filming these daily broadcasts, I go, oh, my goodness, it's so much easier than traveling. I enjoy traveling. I love traveling. But to be able to sit here and know that this word is going into so many different countries, 186 different countries, and it's such a blessing that with such great ease, think of this. I mean, in decades gone by, we would have never thought of just sitting here in that word, just going out every day into the homes and hearts of people. And that's my great desire, is that this word, it land in your home, it land in your heart, and it shows up in your life. And so it is such a great pleasure and delight for us to be able to bring this all conquering word into your life. And thank you for being so hungry to hear it, to feed on it. Why? Because we're learning to be better doers of what God has made ours. And so thank you again for joining us. And we've been on a series for what is this summer, 138 episodes. We're teaching on this subject in Christ and we're not going to be in a hurry to get off of it. If God keeps leading us this way, we're going to keep going this way. Because Our identity in Christ is the foundation of our redemption. When we know who we are in Christ, we are easily receiving of our redemptive rights, because our redemptive rights come to us because of who we are in Christ. When we know who we are in Christ, faith struggles are a thing of the past. And we have no struggle believing when we know what is made ours in Christ. And so with these episodes, we're discovering and we're tackling, and if I could say this, we're talking in detail, ministering in detail, teaching in detail what in Christ means. Because sometimes if we're, if we don't discover it, it can be a hidden benefit to us. Not that God's hiding it from us, but just not understanding what is all ours will hide from us things we should be enjoying and partaking of. What we've done is. We're offering something we want you to get into your own library for free. We're offering it on our website. This is a three different document. This one is just a small, a small sampling of in Him Scriptures. What do we mean when we say in Him Scriptures? It reveals who he is in you, who you are in him and what belongs to you and what he will do through you if you will recognize who he is in you. So there's a small of some keynote in Him Scriptures. Then we also have this document which is a complete listing. There's, oh my goodness, well over 100 different scriptures that refer to who we are in Christ. And then this one is even further. This pastor, so precious, took the, the, the in Him Scriptures that Kenneth Hagin Ministries, what they did, they compiled these in Him Scriptures. And then this man and his wife, a pastor and his wife, took 200 different, 229 different translations and they referred to them and drew the best translations out for these scriptures. And he's offered them to us to offer them to you. So you can download these onto your device, you can print them out, and you can get those by going to our website@jesusthehealer.org and download those completely for free. Feed on that, build that in you. You know, one person was saying to a minister, when I found out who I was in Christ, it's like I was born again again. Because there was such a wealth of revelation and knowledge that came into them when they realized I'm struggling and asking God for things that he's already made mine because I'm in Christ. And so we want you to find out who you are in Christ and what belongs to you because you're in Christ. Now, I made this statement in a previous episode and it's so true. God can make us possessors of what we. Of what belongs to us in Christ. He cannot make us partakers. We're the ones who. Who partake. He can make them ours by he gives all of all that is in Christ. He gives to us. But it's up to us to become a partaker. He can't force us to partake. And, you know, if you have a pet at home, you can lay out their food and their water. What did you do? You gave them a possession, but you can't make them eat that. Growing up, I mean, I was not that easy to feed. Not because I was trying to be particular, it's just because I was such a simple eater that if it was kind of out of my wheelhouse, I just really wasn't adventurous in my eating. And Mother would try, and Mother was such a wonderful cook, but she would try some new things on us and I would look at it and go, uh. I mean, I wouldn't even touch it. I wouldn't even partake of what she had provided. She was so kind to us, though. She said, you don't have to eat it, but I'm not cooking you something else. You're going to have to go find yourself something to eat. And so I go, that's fine. I go to a box of cereal, go to a loaf of bread and put some gravy on it, or do something plain and boring, or something predictable. Although my mother would spread such a wonderful dinner, she could not make us partake of it. And I want you to know, in Christ, God has provided such a wonderful spread and he fills you with that. But still we have to partake of what he's made ours. Well, how do we become partakers? Philemon, chapter one, verse six says this. That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every. Look at this. Every good thing which is in you. Why? Because Christ is in you and you're in Christ. Notice in Christ is only good things. Can I tell you that even when God has corrected me about something, he's warned me about something. Do you know that there was no sense of. Of panic with that? There was no sense of troubling with that. Why? Because of all the good things that he puts in us and makes available to us, he even includes corrections. He even includes instruction to show us how to live more accurately. But he never puts drama into it. He never puts a threat into the good things. That he's made ours. Even in the corrections, there is no sense of if you don't do this now, you know your life is going to fall apart. The way he delivers his correction is so lifting. It doesn't push us down and make us fearful. Do you know why when God communicates to us, there's no fear in it? Why? Because that's due to his great skill. He is so skillful at raising his children, training his children, developing his children, that he keeps all the drama out of it. There is no anything in it that would settle us in Christ. We what belongs to us is a settled life, a peaceful life, that even if we're to make corrections, that there is such peace in the flow of making those corrections. That's because God is so, so skillful. Well, we need to be skillfully drawing on who he's made us to be and who Christ is in us. Well, as we were saying, how do we partake of that? Philemon 1:6 tells us that the communication of thy faith, number one, faith has to be communicated or faith has to be released. How is it released? Through what we say, through what we do. So that the communication of our faith may become effectual. Do you know you can have a faith and it not have an effect? We don't want to have faith in our heart. That's not bringing about an effect in our lives. So our faith is to have an effect. But how does it have an effect? The next phrase tells us by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you. Notice this which is in you. Every good thing is already in you. That's why we don't go by Old Testament prayers. Now some of them will. We can pray, but we always have to run everything of the Old Testament through what Jesus provided for us at Calvary. What is made ours in Christ. We cannot leave out the in Christ reality when we read something of the Old Testament, because when they would pray and when they would record something, it was apart from Christ. Because they were not in Christ. They were not new creatures in Christ. Yet there's. I'm not saying that we don't still benefit from the things we read. We should read the Old Testament. There's so much we, we have revealed, but never just take what's in the Old Testament without running it through Christ. In Christ, I have these things under the Old Testament, they were praying, trying to get God to do something for them. But in Christ, all is already provided for us. So that's why we have to govern our prayer lives based on who we are in Christ. Our our thinking, thinking based on who we are in Christ because we have available to us what was not available to them. And so we. We have to make sure that we are thinking as one in Christ, praying as one in Christ, because that will change the way we pray. When we realize that he has already put in us every good thing through putting us in Christ Jesus. We need to acknowledge the good thing instead of asking for the good thing. Now notice this. Put up that scripture for us again in Philemon 1:6, that the communication of thy faith may become effectual. Look at this by acknowledging, not asking. Acknowledging. It's one thing to acknowledge, it's another thing to ask. I don't have to ask God, would you give me this good thing? I'm to acknowledge that he has already made that good thing mine because he put it in Christ and put Christ in me. That will change the way we pray, that will change the way we think, that will change the way we respond when we recognize it's already in me because Christ is in me now. When I'm faced with a need, I fellowship with God. But notice when I need an answer, when I need help, when I need a solution, I don't turn this way toward heaven and try to get God to send something down. What I do is I turn inward toward my spirit and recognize he has already put every good thing in my spirit. Now I'm just going to draw out of my spirit. How am I going to draw out? Philemon1 6 tells us. I'm going to acknowledge that it's already in me. I'm going to acknowledge he's already stocked my spirit with every good thing because Christ is in there. It's not about trying to get God to send something. It's about us discovering what's already in us and us drawing it out through acknowledging it. And how many of you know you have to. You can only acknowledge it by what you say, by what you meditate on, by what is, what your conversation is full of. If you acknowledge day after day, it's sitting around the dinner table at night with family members and you acknowledge the great difficulty that's coming against you, that's what you're going to partake of. But if you'll acknowledge. Wait a minute, honey. In the face of everything, in the face of every circumstance we're facing, honey, God in talking to one another, encourage one another in the family. Honey, God's already put every good thing in us. Let's acknowledge what's in us instead of acknowledging what's coming against us. What you're acknowledging is what's moving. Now, notice that what you're acknowledging is what's moving. Why? Because our acknowledgement is. Is what gives everything permission to move. Our life is a picture of what we're acknowledging. If you don't like what's moving in your life, then acknowledge something different. Quit acknowledging what you don't want and acknowledge what you do want. Because that's how we become a partaker of what God has already provided for us. As I said earlier, God can turn us into possessors, but only we can turn ourselves into partakers that God cannot force us to partake of what we already possess. All he can do is stock it. Now, for example, if somebody were to say to you, I put a pantry full of groceries in your house, that you can go in there and there's all the different ingredients you need to have a good meal, cook a good meal. And you don't open the pantry door, or you don't. Or you might walk into the pantry, but you don't take anything off the shelf. You don't open it up. You don't put it in the pan to heat it up or cook it or whatever you can. You can be fully stocked and still go hungry if you don't partake. And this is where a lot of Christians are living. They're going hungry in certain arenas of their life because they're not yet learned to partake of what they already possess. And then they're trying, God, send it. Oh, God, give me this. He did. He provided you. He turned you into a possessor. Now you turn yourself into a partaker. Now the Holy Ghost, can I tell you this? He will even help us in the partaking. What's that mean? He will say, you need to apply this. You need to put your faith on this. You need to. He will say.
- [15:57]
Lay your faith on this over here. Because sometimes we think we need to partake of one thing when it's really another thing we need to partake of.

In California, I've lived there for over 30 years, and now I have a home also in Texas. And in both places, everywhere you're going to drive in this nation, you're going to see freeways and highways that run certain directions. Some run east and west, some run north and south. If I want to get on a certain highway going west, sometimes I've got to go north to turn and access what's going to take me west. Well, sometimes we think I need this when we really need to Go on this access street. What do I mean by that? Sometimes people will say, well, I'm having financial problems. So we go to God and we start talking to him about our financial problems and he starts talking to us about our marriage and we go, no, no, no, no, I don't have a marriage problem, I have a financial problem. And I'm trying to talk to you about my financial problem and you're talking to me about my marriage problem. He says, no, I'm not talking to you about your marriage problem. I'm talking to you about your financial problem that is a result of your marriage problem. You know, what's he doing? He's taking us on an access road that's going to get us to our answer. So what do I mean by that? For us to become a partaker, sometimes we need to look to the Holy Ghost to direct us in what we should be partaking of. Because we think our solution is one thing. But the Holy Ghost knows, ah, you're going to have to partake of this so you can then partake of that. And so we need the help of the Holy Ghost. But God cannot and will not force us to partake of what he's made our possession. Now the more we discover what belongs to us in Christ, then we're more apt to partake of it. Now what we don't want to do is, is be a possessor of all the things that are in Christ Jesus and not experiencing any of it. If we're not careful, our faith can shift from what we possess to what we see. And then people start living in line with what they see and start talking in line with what they see instead of talking in line with what they possess. Faith talks about what it possesses in Christ. Doubt, unbelief and fear talk about talks about what it sees. I was listening to the testimony of one woman years ago and she had gone to the doctor for a checkup and they had done an exam on her and they found that there was, there looked to be a growth or a lump in her, in one of her breasts. And so they, they scheduled a follow up appointment and they said, come back, we want to do an ultrasound of that area of your body. So she went back for a follow up appointment and they were able to do an ultrasound of that and you could see a picture of that on the screen of their equipment. And so the doctor was taking a picture of that and he turned the screen around to her because he wanted to show her this is our area of concern. We can see that There is a growth right here. And as she saw it on the doctor's equipment screen, she quietly said to herself, she said, oh, God, if I just hadn't have seen it. Because it wasn't something she could feel from the outside, but it was something that this exam was showing up. And she said, God, only if I hadn't seen it. Because when she. When she saw it, to her, it made it more real. And so she said, oh, God, if I only had to seen it. And the Holy Ghost, who is our helper, do you know? He'll help you believe right. He'll help you to catch wrong thinking. He'll help you to catch wrong words because he's that skillful in his help. And so as she made this statement within, oh, God, if I only hadn't have seen it. And the Holy Ghost said to her, is what you see greater than what I say? My goodness, you talk about a revelation. God can say so much in so little. It's amazing the skill of his wisdom that he can make one short statement. Sometimes he can turn and answer an entire need by speaking one word to you. That's because of the wealth of his skill and wisdom. And the Holy Ghost said to her, is what you see greater than what I say? And I want you to know words. God's words are greater than what you see. God's words are greater than what you may feel. God's words are greater than any circumstance. And we are authorized to live by words, not having to live by the things that this flow, the flow of this world shows us. We always have words, and words trump visibility. Words trump the things we see in this natural arena. So when the Holy Ghost was helping her in that moment, what was he doing? He was helping hold her in faith and that she wouldn't get into fear and doubt. And so the Holy Ghost again said to her, is what you see greater than what I say? And she caught herself that she was fluctuating in her faith based on what she saw on that screen. And she said, father, forgive me, what you say is far greater than what I see. And when she made that correction in a moment of time, that what God said went into that situation, started changing what she saw on that screen as soon as she said within herself, see, the doctor didn't say it, but she was releasing her faith. And within herself, she said, father, forgive me. What you say is far greater than what I see. And all of a sudden they began to see something on that screen. There showed up a light of ring. And it went the entire perimeter of that screen. The doctor saw it, the nurse saw it, she saw it. And it was just like a ring of light that appeared on that screen. And as they watched that light, that ring of light closed down smaller and smaller, and it completely encompassed that. That growth, that. That spot that they saw. And when it completely encompassed it, and then all of a sudden there was like a burst and it disappeared and the lump was gone. That ring of light was gone. And they all saw a demonstration of the power of God at work. Isn't that something that God allowed her to see? Something different? Because she would believe something greater than that, what God said. Than what? Than what she saw. I want you to know we see a lot, we hear a lot. But what we see and what we hear of this world system is not higher than what God says. This is what in Christ belongs to us. Words belong to us. And words change everything that we see. And I'm talking about God's words. Why? Because in God's words, the words. Jesus said my words, that they are spirit and they are life. That in words, life lives in God's words. And why? Because they come out of the realm of God. They are spirit words that come out of his realm. Can I tell you this? In Christ, God's words belong to you. God's realm that manifests through his words belongs to you in Christ. So you are authorized to pick up his words, put his words in your mouth, say his words, because they are. They are carriers of the life of God. And when you lay those words on your circumstance and on your situation, it changes those circumstances. You say, well, Pastor Nancy, I've been saying it for a week. Listen, it's good to say it for a week, but it's our lifestyle of saying it. We. We are his words change how we speak for the rest of our life. We don't go back to words that hinder life, but we go back to words that are the author of life. And so we are to spend his words by speaking his words. You know what Jesus said? And I believe It's John, chapter 15. He said, you are made clean through the words I have spoken unto you. Do you know that his words are a cleansing agent? If you will speak God's healing words. What about this? Himself took my infirmities that I believe in the power of God. The power of God is working in my body from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. Himself took my infirmities and bear my sicknesses. And by his stripes, I was healed no weapon that's formed against me shall prosper. Those words carry power. And when you speak those words, Jesus said, you're made clean through the words that I have spoken unto you. When you put what he says in your mouth, every time you speak it, it'll clean out your heart, it'll clean out your arteries, it will cleanse that liver, it will cleanse every pain out, it will cleanse every symptom out. Because there's life in those words. And so the greatest thing that belongs to us in Christ is words, life giving words. The words that God wanted us to come into his way of thinking, so he wrote down his words for us to know his thoughts. If God listen His Word. Is God offering us his thoughts? Why would we say, no, I think I'll stick with my thoughts? No, I think I'll stick with my words. No. When God is offering us his words, we put them in our mouth and it changes everything about our life. Now listen, God has made us possessors of his words, but let's partake of those words by speaking them. And as Philemon 1, verse 6 says, that the communication of our faith, it becomes effective when we acknowledge or we speak words of every good thing which is in us. In Christ Jesus. In Christ, every good thing belongs to us. If it's not good, it's not ours and we're not taking it because we are living as one in Christ and we refuse to partake of what is outside of Christ. What's outside of Christ is not worth having, but what's in Christ is every good thing. Amen. Well, we're going to continue along this line next time and you don't want to miss it. And until next time, remember this Jesus is the Healer. God bless you.
