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. 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. Thank you for joining us. And just know this, we're believing God for answers for your life. So expect expect to hear what you need to hear to answer the needs in your life. And how many of you know that the Word is the answer book. And it is our privilege to tell our need what God says. And that's why we're always listening to what God says. Because his answers in our mouth resolves every need that we may be facing. And so we're expecting you to hear answers. And I would say this, I've learned this through the years, is that sometimes the Spirit says something to me just while I'm in the atmosphere of the teaching of the Word. So I'm expecting God to say something to you that doesn't even come through my mouth. But be listening and be attentive. And then if I could say this, write it down, don't let slip from you anything that he reveals to you and shows you. Because you know when you're in that moment, you think, oh I'll remember that until next week. You go what was that? That I remember God said something. Well, we don't want those things to slip from us, but we are expecting answers. Amen. And we are so thrill that we are in the midst of a series. We've been on it almost a year now. I've never done a year long series, but this one is certainly worthy of that. And really it could take a lifetime to exhaust the subject. But we've been teaching on in Christ. I can and there's so much that belongs to us because he's in us and we're in him. And it's our privilege to discover that. So thank you for joining us and being hungry for what God has for us. And I would say this, any episodes you may have missed in this series, go back and watch them. And it's so important though, to meditate on the things that of the Word that we're teaching in these episodes. And one of the best ways to meditate is listen to it over and over and over again. There have been times that I remember one particular, one particular season I was facing just a physical need in my life. And I put on one of the tapes that I so loved going back to. And within about a three week period, I would say I listened to that at least 100 times. And what happened in the listening to that, I realized every single symptom had left and I didn't know when it left. Why? Because the water of the Word started flowing in and that which was not of the Word started flowing out. And so it's not about getting God to do something, it's pouring in that which changes everything. So listening to the Word over and over again meditate rewrites our future. And so just take the time to feed on these things. And we believe the Word will bless you. Amen. Well, we've started in some previous episodes looking at John 14:10. And this was Jesus declaring something. He said, believest thou not that I am in the Father? And my goodness, how that made religious devils mad when he would say, I am in the Father. Because God was in the terms of human understanding, God was someone that was untouchable, unreachable. And Jesus not only said that he could reach him, he said he's in him. So he declared, I am in the Father. And look at this. He said, and the Father in me. Mm. Think of those words. And do you know you're authorized to say the exact same thing? Because you are in the body of Christ. You're born again. That Christ is in you. You're in. You are the temple of the Holy Ghost. And Jesus said that my Father and I we will come and make, make you our abode. So what's this mean? We are authorized to say, I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Notice Jesus didn't just make that a silent confession. He said it out loud in the hearing of others. And I would say this. The more you testify to, to what the Word says about you and who you are in the Word and who the Word is in you. You're going to have a robust faith because we are to through our testimony. I'm in the Father and the Father's in me. And what that does for us when we wake up in the morning and we're getting ready for the day and we remind ourselves, father, I'm in you today. You're in me today. So what does that mean? Everything that the Father is is in you. That means power is in you, miracles are in you, wisdom is in you, all the attributes of the nine fruits of the Spirit, all of that is in you. Healings are in you. Why? Because when he's in you, everything he is is in you. So is it any wonder Jesus would openly declare, I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Because that's going to rewrite how we live that day. That's going to dictate when we really believe that where we go and what we participate in. So I would say this. Learn to give yourself the spiritual habit of reminding your in the morning, I'm in the Father today, I'm in the Father, the Father is in me. And that's going to change everything about my day today. And so Jesus said, believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Now notice the very next phrase he said the words that I speak. He immediately went to talking about who was in him, then to talking about words, because who's in you is to. Is to show up in our words. So he was saying, how do we know the Father is in him through his words. So whenever you recognize the Father is in you, it should change the way you speak. I love something that dad Hagin used to say to us. Kenneth Hagin was a spiritual father to my husband and I for decades. And he said, when you're faced with any kind of test, trial, opposition, he said the first thing, ask yourself, what does the word mean say about this? Well, if I could say this, what does the Father in me say about this? Since I'm in the Father, what am I going to say about this? Jesus went immediately after confessing that he was in the Father and the Father was in him. He immediately went to this is going to make a difference in my words. So he said the words that I speak unto you. I speak not of myself. So he's saying this because the Father's in me and I'm in the Father. I'm going to go to the Father to get my words. I'm not going to go to me to get my words. Now notice, if Jesus did not draw on himself for his words, why would we draw on us to get our words? If we have God in us, all wisdom is in us and we want to say what he says because that's how we really live a life, demonstrating that we're in the Father and He's in us. The first place, this oneness with the Father is to manifest, is in our mouth, in our words. And so Jesus said the words that I speak unto you. I speak not of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in Me, he does the works. So there again, look at the order of this verse. Jesus is testifying, confessing, declaring, I'm in the Father, the Father's in me. And then that's going to show up in my words. And when it shows up in my words, God shows up in my words with works. I want you to know that when the Father is in you, it's to show up and there's to be works that are flowing out of your life. There is to be manifestations because God is the One who works. But it's our words that are authored by the Father that gives him a place to work. God wants a place to work. He's looking for a place to manifest Himself. The Word tells us in the Old Testament that God's eyes are going through the whole earth seeking someone, seeking a place where he can demonstrate or that they do great exploits. What is that? God is so full of power. He's looking for a place to manifest that power, to bless humanity. But what's he got to do? He's got to find someone with the right words. And who has the right words? The one who knows that the Father's in them and they're in the Father. This verse is loaded for us. Although Jesus was referring to himself, he's talking about what the life can produce. Who knows that the Father's in them and that they're in the Father. So this begins with a place of oneness. What did Jesus begin this talking about? He talked about his oneness and his union with the Father. Can I tell you this? The miracle you need is in revelation that the Father's in you. The healing that you need is a revelation that the Father is in you. And you're in the Father because you're in the Father. Healings are in you. Miracles are in you. And too many times people are praying this way, trying to get God to send something down. And God is. God is, I could say this, pleased. When we recognize, wait a minute, he's in me. Miracles are in me. He's in me. Healings are in me. He's in me. The leading of God is in me. And so we're recognizing and acknowledging and testifying that this is in me. And I would say your testimony is so important because you need to tell your need what already lives in you. You need to tell your need the answers that are already belonging to you. Because the Father's in you and you're in the Father. So be bold to say, just as Jesus was clearly publicly announcing, I'm in the Father and the Father's in me, learn to put those words in your mouth because it will change the way you think throughout the day. And listen, when Jesus said, I'm in the Father and the Father's in me, that sets that his day. He's going to go and manifest the Father. He's not going to just manifest him. That's why when God says, go witness to that person, it's not, oh, God, I'm embarrassed too. God's not trying to give that person you. He's trying to give that person him. And so when we recognize the Father is in Me, then we remove the us element. We're the middleman. Don't think about the middleman. Think about the supplier. Think about the provider who has already given the help and the answers that the people around you need. And if you will be mindful, he's in me today. So you're going out and you're giving people him. You're going out and you're letting him manifest through you. Well, again, where does that begin? You establish in you by confessing it, by testifying to it. I'm in the Father and the Father's in me. If you will learn to testify about who's in you. When a. When a great difficulty shows up in your life, it's no challenge for you because you go back to the Father's in Me. And when this test. When this test challenged me, it's challenging the Father and it's no match for the Father. You see, you've got to see yourself first and foremost is in him and him in you. And that's going to change everything about the way you live. So Jesus said that the Father is in Him. Why? To perform through Him. I want you to know that you had the same standing with that Jesus had with the Father. You had the same standing with the Father that Jesus had. And God is looking to perform through you. But you're going to have to establish it in you. This comes out of a place of union, unbroken fellowship. Miracles are a manifestation of someone's walk with God. Healings are a manifestation of someone's walk with God. I am of the love Kingdom. You are of the love Kingdom. You are of the love realm. And I want you to know healing is nothing but an outflow of the love realm. So that when you're ministering to someone who needs healing, you are allowing the love of the Father that's on the inside of you to reach out and meet the needs of that of those people. Healing is a flow of the love of God. And we have to see it as not something different from God. It is his flow. Miracles are a flow of the love of God. And so we walk out realizing he's in me. Therefore miracles are in me. The love flow coming out and manifesting through miracle demonstration, through miracle healings. And miracles are not just for the pulpit. Healings are not just for the pulpit. They're for every believer every single day. And I love something that Oral Roberts said. He said every day miracles are coming to you or going past you. And I would say this. Every day miracles are trying to come through you. Will you let them? Well, it's if we recognize the Father is in us and we are in the Father, how that simplifies our life, how it removes the struggle and brings us into a place of rest. Because all I need to do is speak the words that God can feel with himself and God will do the works through me. But that is no struggle to speak what God says. When you recognize that he's in you and you're in Him. We don't know where one ends and the other begins. That's oneness. That's the union that Jesus paid the price so that we could live in union with the Father. In oneness with the Father. Listen, yes, the great benefit of being saved and being born again is we're missing hell. But the greatest reason Jesus came is because God wanted a family. He wanted oneness with his family. And so the great thing Jesus brought us into is oneness with our Father. And so God doesn't work apart from us. He works through us. And we cannot. It's inappropriate to diminish ourselves. You know what a poor self image is? Nothing but self diminishment. And whenever we diminish ourselves through a poor self image, what we're saying is, God, you're going to have flow through someone else today because I'm in such a bad self image that you can't flow through me. Well, see, when you get up and you declare the Father's in me today I'm in the Father. That answers all self image problems. Self image problems are nothing but a strategy of the enemy to keep you not flowing and not allowing God to Flow through you. And so every poor self image problem is answered in I'm in Christ, he's in me. Our identity is Him. Can I tell you this? My identity is not even in that I'm a preacher. Because you know, God can change my job description anytime he wants. For 25 years I pastored. And one day God said to me, your pastorate has come to an end. Well, I knew it would one day. But when he said, you pastorate has come to an end, he changed my office. I was no longer staying in the pastoral office, but in other offices. And in doing that, I did not have my identity associated with my pastoral office or I would have noticed, navigated, or transitioned out of the place I was to the place he wanted me to be. Why? Because every other thing you could identify with will be a hindrance to you at some point. But if you'll identify with who you are in Christ, you live unhindered. Because there is no hindrance in who you are in Christ. And who you are in Christ can go anywhere. Anytime God tells you to do something, you can do it because you're in Christ. That's why Paul said, I can do all things through him, through Christ who strengthens me. So anytime you make your identity as your profession, as a spouse, well, I'm a husband, or I'm a wife, I'm a dad, or if you're an employee, you're an employer, all of those things can reach a stopping point or reach a ceiling, or reach some kind of change that will throw you off guard if you're associating your identity. But Jesus did not even associate his identity with the miracles he had associated himself. I'm in the Father and the Father's in Me. And that was his only identity that he ever announced and declared and testified to. Why? Because that is the identity that's going to bring you into the highest flow. You are in Christ, Christ is in you. You're in one with the Father. And everything that belongs to the vine belongs to the branch. Without question. The branch never feels like it has to earn something from the vine. The branch just is made to look good because it Listen, the branch is the pretty part of the tree cause it bears the fruit. But it's produced because of the vine. And God will share his goodness by producing so much fruit in your life that he makes you look good. But it's all to his glory. And so know this. Because you are one with the vine. You are one with all that the vine carries, all that the vine produces. Amen. Well, I want us to go again. Let's look at Philippians, chapter 1. In verse 11, Paul made this statement. He said that we are to be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Christ. By Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. What's he talking about? What is this phrase, fruits of righteousness? We need to know what it is because we're to be filled with the fruits of righteousness. Well, because you're born again because Jesus paid the price for you, you are now one with the Father. The Father is one with you. And you are to be able to produce something now that your life could not produce when you were outside of Christ. No matter what you produced before you were born again, it's nothing compared to what your life is to produce now that you're one with the Father and your life is to bear fruit. Showing I am one with the Father. My oneness with the Father is because I am righteous. Jesus made me righteous. And because I'm righteous, I can come into the presence of God. I can partake of the presence of God, be a channel of the presence of God 24 hours a day. And that's to bear fruit. Now, it's not just to bear fruit for your personal life. God expects us to bear fruit that's going to bless the people around us. And if we don't bear fruit, we'll get in trouble with God because God expects us to be filled with the fruits of righteousness. Now let me say this. I've said it in a previous episode. We are not saved by works. We're saved by Jesus works, not by our works. What? Jesus worked for us. He paid the price, cleansed us with his own blood, made us righteous, sanctified us, made us holy. It's all by Him. It's not by anything. We earned through our own works. Your works earn you nothing of righteousness. It earned you nothing of salvation. It's all by Jesus works. But once you're born again, works are everything. And don't you forget it. God expects your life to produce fruit. And pray, Paul said we're to be filled. And I could say this. Instead of fruits of righteousness, why don't we call it fruits, good works? Because we're righteous. And so our life is to be full of good works. And it's not just the good works that benefit us in our home. God expects us to bring good works to the body of Christ. He expects us to bring good works to the place where you work. He expects us to bring good Works to people that around us. And because he can't reach them except through our good works. You understand that people say, well, if God wants to help somebody, he'll move. Yeah, he's moving through us. And that the movement of us looks like good works. And so we are to be full of good works. And Jesus said, herein is my Father glorified that you bear much fruit. If we're not bearing much fruit for God, we are robbing God of the glory that belongs to Him. And God is not pleased when he is not put on display. When we are bearing good fruits, we are putting God on display so that others can see him and be drawn to Him. And so Paul tells us we are to be filled with good works. Then we go over to Ephesians 2:10 and I'm going to read out of the Amplified Classic translation. Listen to what Paul said. He said, for we are God's own handiwork. Look, God took us in his hand and he worked us. What did he work in us or for us? And through us? The next phrase tells us that we are his own handiwork, his workmanship recreated in Christ Jesus. He didn't leave us like he found us. That old man that had a nature of sin sinned, but he recreated us, gave us a brand new spirit, filled us with Himself, made us one with Him. That was his handiwork. But look, I want you to see how this reads. We are God's own handiwork, recreated in Christ Jesus, born anew or born again. Look at this. That we may do those good works. So God did not just put us in this place of redemption, bring us into a place of union so that we could have everything better, but so everyone that we come in contact could see the better one in us and they would be drawn to Him. So it's good works that, that make our Father visible. God can only be seen by the good works that we allow to flow through us. So know this. He said again in Ephesians 2, verse 10, we were born anew or born again, that we may do those good works. How many of you know how much we do? That is up to us. He will empower all the good works we'll put our hand to. He will certainly empower those good works with Himself. But he said we are to do those good works which God predestined and planned beforehand. Do you know that there are works that God planned for you to accomplish? If we don't accomplish them, we're outside of the will of God and we'll get in trouble with God. I was. I'm reminded at the time that I had a dream years ago, and I saw myself dying prematurely. Here I was, I was preaching, I was pastoring, I was ministering with my husband, traveling with him on the road. I was administrating our offices. I was raising our children. Yet in the dream I saw I'm going to die prematurely if I don't make some corrections. It wasn't that God was going to cause that to happen. He was revealing to me the road you're on is going to end you up in premature death if you don't make some changes. Well, how many of you know that's a blessing of God, that that's a divine rescue, that God will show us changes to make because he doesn't want us to end up the wrong way. So he showed me that I would die prematurely if I didn't make changes. I recognized that God was showing me that. And when I woke up from that dream, I said, God, I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing that's going to end me in that place of a premature death. And he said to me, he said, there is a supply in prayer for your husband that you're not bringing fully as you ought, and he's going to get that supply. And he said, and if you won't bring it, I will have to allow the enemy to remove you because I will bring someone who will supply that. How many of you know? It's not that I didn't pray that there was a place or a supply in prayer that I was to bring and I wasn't occupying that. What was that? I was void of good works. God planned beforehand. He predestined that I not only be married to that man or minister alongside him, he planned that I bring a supply in prayer that only I could bring. And if I wasn't going to bring it, what was it? God could not be glorified. God could not manifest the way he wanted to with the help of that supply that I was to bring. And that would rob him of glory, and it would bring me into a place of disobedience and open the door to the devil to attack me. Well, I want you to realize you're not only to do good works within your family and in your own life. You're to do good works in a local church. And if you're not part of a local church, how are you going to bring how are you going to bring good works to a local church? How Are you going to do that? Well, I love God and I'm out witnessing to the people. I'm out witnessing to the lost. Well, you should be. We all should be. But I want you to know every, every Christian has two ministries. One to the world outside the church and one inside the church, the Body of Christ. We cannot dismiss ourself from the supply we're to bring to the Body of Christ by saying, well, I witness to the world. We're to do both because we are part of the Body of Christ. And for us to fail to bring our supply to the Body of Christ is to fail to do the good works that God planned that we're to carry out. Well, I want you to know God was showing me it was a matter of life and death that I bring the supply of good works in prayer. Listen, we're going to go further with this because these things we have to discover because we don't want to be dying prematurely. Listen, there's too many in the Body of Christ that are sick, they're weak, they're dying premature, and there's a cause. And we're going to discover in the Word why how the Father in us wants to fulfill through us and bring about good works that will not only bless our life, but bless so many around us. Amen. Well, until next time. Time remember this. Jesus is the healer. God bless you.
