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 you're joining us today for Jesus the Healer. We're going to be continuing again along the lines of the series we've been on called In Christ. I Can just discovering who we are in Christ and what all belongs to us because we're in Christ. And therefore what we can also do because we're in Christ. We have compiled something that I want to make you aware of. We have compiled some, what we call in Him Scriptures. These are scriptures in the New Testament that tell us what belongs to us because we're in Him. So it's going to use phrases like in him, in in whom, through him, by Him. And these are what, as I said, we call in Him Scriptures. So we have a few different documents. You can go to our web site@jesusthehealer.org or defrainministries.org and you can download those. They're completely free. There's one that is a smaller pamphlet like this that is purse size. You can easily carry it with you. And that's not a complete listing, but it's a partial listing of some of the In Him Scriptures. But we also have this one that is a full listing of the In Him Scriptures. And this one is. Oh, my goodness. I. There's about 120 pages of this. And what this one contains, we had a friend of the ministry that he didn't just. He didn't just use the King James translation, but he referenced 229 different translations, pulled the best of those translations, and then he compiled them into this document again. You can download it for free or you can print it off once you've downloaded it. But once you do that, feed on these scriptures. Say that, say these scriptures to yourself. This is who I have. This is who I am. This is what I have because I'm in Christ. And once, once you see who you in who you are in Christ, it establishes something in you that makes you immovable in the face of opposition. And so we encourage you. Get those, download those, they're complet for free. We want to get them into your hands. And we've been using in this series as our golden text, Colossians chapter 2 and verse 9. And the living Bible translation says, for in Christ there is all of God in a human body. So you have everything when you have Christ. Look at that. You have everything when you have Christ. And you are filled with God through your union with Christ. So what's this mean? No matter what you face in life, you already have in Christ everything, every resource, every supply that you're going to need to walk in victory to fulfill the plan of God. God authored a plan for your life, but he never intended for you to fill that plan, fulfill that plan apart from him. But he filled you with Himself because He intends to fulfill that plan through, through you. And everything that God planned for your life, he put in Christ. And then he put Christ in us and us in Him. And when we, when we understand that we have been made rich in Christ, that everything belongs to us because we're in Christ, we access that wealth of provision by faith. It takes faith to receive what has been made ours. Listen, God has made every. Our inheritance is our present, our present possession. But we need to become partakers of what we possess. That means it needs to show up in our everyday life. And it's by faith that we partake of what he has already made ours in Christ. And the wonderful thing about it is the genius of this plan is that God does not even require us to come up with our own faith. He gave us the measure of his own faith that when we're living by faith and walking by faith, it's his faith that we're using that means that we can't even take credit. Someone cannot get real proud of themselves because they received something from God by faith. Because it wasn't even their own faith, it was God's own faith that they were using and spending. But thank God, he has given us the measure of faith. And with that faith we move from the. We move into the impossible, we move into the limitless. And I want you to know that as we, we go further and further in the plan of God. I've seen this in my own life, that there are, there are advancements to make in God's plan. As I go further, you know, I think about when I just first got born again. I was believing God. The first thing I believed God for after I was born again was a Bible. I remember I got saved when I was in my car. I had just, I was going to go back to school and I had quit a job that I had been working and I was on my way to have lunch with a relative and on my way to lunch I got born again in my car. And so I was going to pick up that relative for lunch and they were working at a place that I used to work. And so after I got born again that day in the car, I said, God, I want a Bible and I don't have the money to buy a Bible. I ask you to provide me with the money to, for me to buy a Bible. Well, I hadn't been working at that place that I was going to pick up my relative at. It had been probably two months prior that I had quit that job. And when I went to pick up my relative, my previous boss said, Nancy, he called me in his office and he said the head office in New York is the one that would cut the paychecks for all the employees, although this was in Oklahoma City. And so he said, today we received a paycheck for you and from the New York office. And he said, I called them and said, well, she hasn't been on the payroll for a couple of months now, so do you want me to just void the check? And they said, no, just give it to her anyway. And so he handed me a check and there was the money I needed for a Bible. Well, God showed me that within moments after getting born again, that he would take care of every single need. But can I tell you this? My needs have grown since that day. I'm not just praying for a Bible. We're believing God for properties and buildings and all kinds of things that we need to fulfill the plan of God for our life. And if I would have been shown back then as a 19 year old what all the plan of God would call for, would call for my faith to lay hold of, I might have been overwhelmed. But I would say this. As my faith has grown, that I'm able to advance in what I can believe God for. It's the same thing with you that our, as our faith grows, we're able to lay hold of more and more and more of what the plan of God holds for us. But I want to say this, that the plan of God holds the impossible for us. You know, God did the impossible in paying off our property and paying off Our building and our ministry being debt free. God did that through one impossibility after another impossibility that he fulfilled and met. And when I'm seeing in front of me all that God is showing me about the future of this ministry, I see everything that he has planned for us is impossible for us apart from him, but completely possible for him through us. And God always calls us to do what only he can fulfill. And for us to go further, to move further into the plan of God to lay hold of buildings. I am lay hold of properties and the things that he has shown us, that's part of the plan I have to so build in me that in Christ it already belongs to me. I want you to know the home that you need it, it. It's yours in Christ. Outside of Christ it. It can look impossible, but in Christ it's possible. I so love the testimony which has been the jumping off point for this entire series. The the test Kenneth Copeland gave. On one occasion, he was saying years ago in the early 1970s, him and his. Him and Sister Gloria were in debt. They were just learning the principles and the truths of prosperity. And God spoke to him and said, I want you to sow $50,000 into Kenneth Hagin's ministry. Well, he was himself in debt. He didn't have $50,000. And that's a large sum of money. And but he did not go to his own resources before he answered God. He didn't try to figure out where am I going to get $50,000. What he did was he went to who he was in Christ to find his answer to that command. And so God said, I want you to sow $50,000 into Kenneth Hagin's ministry. And the skill of Brother Copeland's answer was this. He said, in Christ I have it, and in Christ I can give it. So what is he saying? Outside of Christ he didn't have it, but in Christ he had it. I want you to know, outside of Christ we don't have the properties, the buildings, the homes, the resources we need. But in Christ he is fully stocked with everything, every resource, every provision that we need. So our faith talk is to say, in Christ I have the home I need. In Christ I have the job I need. In Christ I have the provision I need. In Christ my bills are paid off and we're authorized. When it looks like we've got a stack of bills in front of us that are unpaid, we're authorized to say, in Christ those are paid. And then we take action to make movement to get Those paid off, we do whatever we have to do. And then as we take action toward that, God's ability and God's provision will get in our action. When God told brother Copeland, I want you to sow $50,000 to Kenneth Hagin's ministry, he didn't just say, in Christ I have it. In Christ I can give it and stop. He took action. How many of you know, faith is an act. It takes action. And so he took the coins that would come to him throughout the day. If he broke a dollar bill and there was just a few coins left, at the end of every day, he would throw the coins that he had accumulated through the day in a shoebox and put it under his bed. When that shoebox would get full, he would send it in to Kenneth Hagin's ministry. After a period of time, he had no idea how much he had sent in. And when he contacted their office to see how much have I sent in? They said. They said, brother Copeland, you have sent in more, far more than $50,000. Brother Copeland said this. He said, there is no way that there was over $50,000 in the few boxes of coins that I sent in. But what. What do we know about that? The Word says that God will multiply our seed sown. So when we sow a seed, God gets in that seed, and when he shows up, it multiplies. No, he's not a counterfeiter, but he is a multiplier. And we saw that when Jesus was holding the five loaves, the loaves and five fish, and he had a multitude in front of him, Jesus held the loaves of bread and the fish, and he blessed it. And when he blessed it, what wasn't enough became more than enough? Why? Was it because God multiplied what was not enough and it became more than enough? When you realize that everything that belongs to you because you belong to Christ, and you start putting a demand on in Christ, these. There's more than enough provision to pay these bills. In Christ, there's more than enough for me to get that property, for me to get that building, for me to get that car I need, for me to have that job, for me to start that business. I can't do it in myself, but in Christ, he does it through me. And that's what it means to live as one in him. And so Brother Copeland, as he acted and obeyed that he was able to fulfill that command because God got involved than the actions he took. Well, I want you to know that as you advance in the plan of God, it's going to call for greater understanding that in Christ you can have this. If we don't build in us who we are in Christ and all that belongs to us because we're in Christ, there are some. There are some features of God's plan that we're going to have to stand back from because they can only be laid hold of in Christ. I was listening to one man who, a minister that God has entrusted great properties into his hands. I'm talking about he has a building that is almost one and a half million square feet. And it was completely impossible for him to fulfill it. But when God said, I'm going to give you that property, he began to meditate on what belonged to him because he was in Christ. I want you to know there is so much that the plan of God contains for you. But we have to build in us who we are in Christ because when we get that revelation, it's that revelation that causes us to move into the impossible. You know, people are looking for a miracle. But can I tell you this? Your miracle lies with revelation. When you get the revelation in Christ, that building is already provided for, that home is already provided for. Then miracles flow out of the revelation. And people need to build the revelation on the inside of them of who they are in Christ. And it's. It's the Holy Ghost that takes the truths of these words and makes them revelation to us. But as we feed on these scriptures like the one I was telling you about, as we feed on these and build these in us, we're giving the Holy Ghost something to breathe upon so that it becomes more than words on a page, but it becomes revelation to our spirit. Whenever God offers me a building, I don't, and I don't have in my own resources the money. I have to remember I have Christ. I have to remember in that, in Christ, I have that building. Now, outside of Christ, if I'm going to function or think and talk as one outside of Christ, I have to leave that building alone. But if I will say in Christ I have it in Christ I have the resources I need for that building, then he will bring it to pass because I'm putting a demand on him. I'm not putting a demand just simply on my resources. I'm putting a demand on him who is the source of all my resources. When you need healing in Christ, you are authorized to say, in Christ there are no symptoms. In Christ there is no pain. And I won't talk as one outside of Christ because outside of Christ, there's pain outside Of Christ, there are symptoms. But how many of you know, In Christ there's no pain In Christ there's no symptoms, no sickness, no disease. So faith is authorized to speak as one in Christ. Because I'm in Christ, I say, there's no sickness in me, there's no pain in me. There is no disease in me. But I'm going to think as one in Christ. I'm going to meditate on what it means to me to. To be one with Him. I want you to know that the Father in us, he does the work. We don't have to get rid of symptoms. All we have to do is rest on the One who. Who causes that his power will flow and completely annihilate the symptoms. I want you to know that with the finances and the provision that you need, it's not about you getting it. It's about you realizing all. He's already made yours in Christ, and He is the supply. And in him is all the resources for you to draw on, for you to obey God and the plan of God. We have to learn to answer when a need faces us. We have to learn to answer in Christ. I have that in Christ that's paid for in Christ, I have all the resources. In Christ, I have that job. In Christ, I have that home. In Christ, I have that new business. In Christ, I have that equipment that I need to fulfill the plan. In the Renewed mind, our spiritual habit is to always answer as one in Christ, think as one in Christ, and go there first instead of going to our resources first to figure out, how am I going to pay this off, what am I going to do? I remember when my husband went home to be with the Lord and there were these eight unfinished projects, large projects that needed to be completed. One night I was out preaching on the road. I was getting ready to go to a service, and I received an email. And in that email, the bank said, we want to know where you're getting $300,000 from by tomorrow. Well, if I would have known that where $300,000 was, they would have already. I would have already given it to them. I didn't know where it was, but I knew this. In Christ, he's already provided for every need. Why? Because Philippians 4:19 says, My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory. Look at this. By Christ Jesus. So it lives. It resides in Christ. Now, I decided when I read that email, I thought, well, I don't have time to address this right now. I'm going to go preach. So I just forgot about it. And I went off to preach and I came back to the hotel room and I was getting ready to get in bed and ready to fall asleep. Believe me, I was ready to. And it. I remembered, oh, yeah, they want a $300,000 answer by tomorrow. And so I did not. I did not start praying. Oh, God, give me money. Oh God, what do I do? I knew this, that, that request, although it caught me off guard, it didn't catch him off guard. And I knew that he had already provided and supplied and made provision for that need. So I said to God, I said, God, in my own resources, I don't have it. But in your resources is more than enough. All I need to do is hear what you have already supplied. So I said, I'm going to take time and I'm going to pray in the Spirit and allow the Holy Spirit to make known to me what I'm to do about this need that has to be handled tomorrow. So I'm laying there on the bed. I'm not trying to figure out my answer. I'm not trying to figure out where can I get money? Where can I. What can I do to get this or do to get that? Who can I call? I was laying there quieting my mind. Why am I quieting my mind? Because what. The answer that I need is in my spirit. And when my answer floats up and enlightens my mind, if my mind is busy, if my mind is full with its own reasonings, I will miss what my spirit is trying to communicate to me. So I put my mind in neutral. You know what it means by that? It means I'm just really not thinking anything. How do you do that? Well, I was focusing on my spirit. Focus, or just focus on Jesus, but focus. I was paying attention to my spirit because what's going on in here when I'm praying in other tongues? And so for about 10 minutes, I just laid on that bed and I quieted my mind and I began to pray in the spirit. After 10 minutes of just praying in the Spirit, up came the revelation of God. Now, see, my mind has received that enlightening. Did you know that your spirit knows things your mind hasn't caught up with yet? But as I was praying in the Spirit, it made me sensitive to the Holy Spirit, who was speaking to my spirit. How many of you know the Holy Spirit is always going to speak the wisdom of God, the plan of God to you? And so as I was praying in the Holy Spirit, I was making my sin, my spirit, sensitive to what the Holy Spirit would say to me. And I heard this bubble just floated up and in it contained the wisdom of God. And in that I heard exactly what to do. And when I did it, there the money was exactly where God told me of what action to take. You see, I didn't have to figure it out. I didn't have to get into fear and panic and call and ask other people what I'm to do. I asked the divine genius who was on the inside of me, the Holy Ghost, I said to him, I said, you know, the mind of God, and in the mind of God is the answer to this problem. And so I thank you for transmitting. And do you know, I don't even ask the Holy Ghost, would you give me an answer? That's what he's in there for. I say, I thank you that you are in me to make known the wisdom of God to me. And I trust you to make that known to me. And just simply by praying in the Holy spirit for about 10 minutes, up came the wisdom of God. And in that revelation was my answer. I want you to know that when you hear from God, that's the revelation of God, that's the wisdom of God. And in that revelation is your miracle. In that revelation is your healing. In that revelation is the supply. And in that revelation is the end of struggle. If we're struggling about something, that's a sign that we need to. That we need to quit trying. And we need to start hearing some things, hearing what God says to us. You know, when people are trying to do better, when they're trying to get better, when they're trying to get more, they enter into anxiety, they enter into fear that it's not going to come to pass. But when you recognize, wait a minute, the greater one's on the inside of me and he's in there to put me over. He's in there to make known to me the mind of God, the wisdom of God. No, in my own. In my own intellect, I might not know the answer, but I had the wisdom of God in me because he's in me. So we turn toward that one who's on the inside, and we draw on Him. Amen. Well, I want you to know that as the plan of God is going to call for more and more of your faith, you're going to be able to walk out that plan. As you build and establish in you the truths of who you are in him and what belongs to you because you're in Him. Well, it's a joy to share These things with you, and I'm telling you, this is life changing. When we gain the light of who we are in him, it puts us in a place of rest instead of a place of trying. The reason that we're able to come to you with this broadcast is because of the generosity of Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. They made a decision years ago that no programmer on the Victory Channel would have to pay for any airtime. And so for these several years that we have gotten to be on this, on this network, work with you, we have not had to pay for any of the airtime. Well, somebody's paying for it. Who is it? It's the partners of Kenneth Copeland Ministries. And so I thank God for Brother Copeland and Sister Gloria who had the faith to make that decision. But when they made that decision, they're not just gifting the airtime to me, they're gifting it to you because you're hearing, you're hearing this message because of the generosity of Kenneth Copeland. And I would say this, that if you're not already a partner with Kenneth Copeland Ministries, I don't even say pray about it. If this. When you receive answers, it's only honorable and it's only right when you receive answers through this channel that you fund the place that's feeding you. And so we ask you, if you're not already, to become a partner with Kenneth Copeland Ministries. And you may say, well, well, Pastor Nancy, I'm already a partner, but what about increasing your partnership? Do you know that as our faith grows, our giving should grow? And so it's appropriate that we can turn on this channel and hear answers for our lives 24 hours a day. So if you are not already a partner Again, go to kcm.org and you can sign up to become a partner there. You can follow the those prompts and then you can be part of helping this world go this word go all around the world. And until next time, remember this. Jesus is the healer. God bless you.

I want you to know that every single person in this world needs a Savior. And the greatest thing of all is that we have one. But this Savior must be welcomed. This Savior must be received. And it's so easy to receive Jesus as the Savior. The Word says that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. So right now do that with me.
