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 you're joining us today for Jesus the healer. And we're going to. We're just so glad we're going to be able to keep going in the direction of teaching on in Christ. I can. And we're so appreciative that the Holy Ghost has led us this way and the understanding he's giving us, the revelation he's showing us. And it's not just so we can say, boy, we appreciate what's ours in Christ. No, it's so we can become partakers and enjoy every single day what belongs to us in Christ. Because no matter where we've gone, if I could say this, no matter when we've missed it, when we've gone the wrong direction, I want you to know that when we. When we come back into the plan of God and we recognize. Wait a minute, I've been missing it. We repent for that. I want you to know that every privilege that was ever ours in Christ is still ours in Christ. So thank God that that privilege, the fullness of what belongs to us in Christ is so. So abundant that everything God planned and authored for your life, he put all the resources, all the supply, every single. Every single thing that you're going to need to fulfill the plan of God. God has already provided that. He put that in Christ and then he put Christ in us and us in Christ. And so he never intended that we ever try to fulfill anything he authored for us apart from Him. He always intended. Intended to work through us, to manifest through us, to flow through us, to fulfill something he authored for us. And so we cheat ourselves and we cheat the plan of God when we think that we're the ones that have to carry it, carry it out apart from Him. No, he never counted Himself out. So let's not count him out of what he already counted Himself in on. And that is to flow through us and manifest through us. Now, what we've talked about so much in these past episodes is that we are already possessing everything that's ours in Christ. It belongs to us. We're not trying to coerce it out of God. We're not trying to get him to do something for us, because he's already made it all ours and he put it in Christ. Now, the variable is us, how well we are or how much we are recognizing what's ours in Christ. And if we're acknowledging what's ours in Christ and we're putting a demand on it, because it takes faith to partake of what already belongs to us in Christ. And people get this erroneous idea, well, if it belongs to me, why doesn't it just show up? Well, because God won't force anything of his good, of his goodness, of his best on us. It takes faith to invite Him. And you say, well, if God knows I need something, why doesn't he just. Why doesn't he just fulfill it? It's because his honor is so great, he will not violate another man's will. And so when we release our faith, we employ our faith. All we're doing is agreeing to God, doing what he's wanted to, to supply for us all along. And so really, faith is simply us agreeing with God that if he says that, and he does say that, by, by the stripes of Jesus, we were healed. When we agree with that, that's our fai. When we release our faith, we come into agreement with what he says, and then the door is open for him to perform it. And as we've said it before, faith is an open door. That's simply all faith is. It is the door open to God so that he can manifest and bring to pass through his own ability what we need in this life. And so we have to bring our faith to his provision to what we possess in Christ calls for our faith to activate it. Now to activate it. If we will find out who we are in Christ, talk much about who we are in Christ, then what happens is we come into the highest order of faith. And I want you to know that to have a robust faith, continually testify and talk about and confess what God is in you, what he is doing through you, what he's doing for you. And when you do that, and you keep that on the forefront of your thought life, you keep that in your words, what happens, Your faith is ever ready and your faith is ever in place. For God to move and manifest in your behalf. I want us to read again our golden text that we've been using throughout this series. It's Colossians, chapter 2, verses 9 and 10. And this is the living Bible translation. It says, for in Christ there is all of God in a human body. Now that's talking about when Jesus took on flesh. And it says that all of God was in his human body. Then in verse 10 it says, so you have everything when you have Christ. Why? Because Jesus, he contained all of God. And then when we also have Jesus living in us, then there's none of God that's withheld from us. I want you to know that everything that Jesus has available to him, we have available to us because we are co heirs with Him. We are one with Him. Jesus paid the price so we could be one with our Father. And that is the great, that is the great reward of our salvation, is that we are made one with the Father. And yes, we've been forgiven of our sins, our sins washed away. We were given a brand new start in life. The nature of God came in us at the new birth. Eternal life came in us and we are new creations in Christ Jesus. But all of that was to bring us in union with the Father. And so the greatest thing is we are one with the Father. And this is what Jesus majored on. He would say, don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. He was always constantly pointing back to the reason there were the miracles, the reason there was the healings, the reason there was the revelation. And the outflow of the wisdom of God through Jesus is he said, because I'm one with the Father. And that's what we are to build in us. We are one with the Father. And we're not to ever try to attempt to live this life apart from Him. He became one with us. We're one with Him. And it was his idea. He, it was his plan, it was his dream to have a family. And we should never try to live this life apart from the one that we have been made one with, that we're ever drawing on him. We're mindful of Him. And like I said, if we will continually confess who God is in us, who Christ is in us, what they're doing through us, because we're temples of the Holy Ghost right now, because we are one with them. We need to not ever be forgetful, but ever mindful and confessing what he's done, what he's doing right now in our behalf for us, in us and through us. And that will give us a robust faith. Not only that, by acknowledging him, we're drawing on his strength, his wisdom, his ability. We're putting him to work for us, in us and through us. Amen. And so it says again in Colossians 2, verse 9. For in Christ there is all of God in a human body. So you have everything when you have Christ. And you are filled with God through your union with Christ. So know this. We are one with the Father, one with the Son, one with the Holy Ghost. There is nothing of God that God has held back from us. It all belongs to us. But now it's up to us to recognize that he wants to work for us, through us and in us, so that we will allow him to do that. It's not Being in Christ is not something we achieve, it's something we receive. We do not have to try to be in Christ. We are. We're not having to try to do better. We're just learning to draw better on the better One who's in us. Amen. And so it's not about us performing something better. It's about us giving, yielding to the One who works through us. Amen. And I want you to know that rewrites the story of our life. And never see yourself as you being alone in this life. You are filled with the Godhead. And there is no reason for us to not draw on Him. He's in us to put us over in life. And I, when we put him to work for us, he makes us look so good. I want you to know God will never make you look bad. He will never make you look deficient, make you look like you are unsound. He always makes us look good whenever we allow him to work and manifest through us. Now I want to read to you out of Matthew, chapter 10. And this is verse 32, and this is the amplified classic translation. Jesus is speaking and he says this. Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before men and confesses me out of a state of oneness with me, I will also acknowledge him before my Father who is in heaven and confess that I am abiding in Him. Now listen to this. This is talking about someone who's. Who is born again. We are in oneness with Him. How many of you know people get this idea? Religion can sometimes paint this idea that every person is a child of God. That's not true. God is the Creator of all men, but he's not the Father of all men. And so what do you have to do to be his child, you have to call on the name of the Lord to be saved. What's that mean? You have to, on purpose, receive Jesus into your heart. And that's how you come into oneness. So Jesus said that the ones who are in oneness with him, that's number one, how we come into oneness, as we confess Him. But the next thing is now that we are one with Him. Confession. Confess what he is in us. Confess who he is in us. Confess what he's doing through us. Confess what he's made ours. Confess that he has made everything of Christ our present possession. Listen, Jesus is the treasure box of heaven. God put everything in Christ that He that he dreamed of for your life, and then he put Christ in you. So it's just about us becoming skillful at spending and drawing on the greater One in us. And this verse is telling us how to do that. Acknowledge Him. Look at this. Before men. What's this mean? This is not a silent or a solitary lifestyle. As a believer, we are to let people know who we belong to. We are to let people know who belongs to us, that we are one with the Father. Listen. It made religious leaders so mad when Jesus declared the Father and I are one. And it made those religious leaders mad because they thought, how dare you call yourself one? But he had an understanding and a revelation that they could not grasp. And so Jesus brought us into that oneness. And the devil working against Jesus did not like Jesus recognizing and confessing that he was one with the Father. And I want you to know, the devil doesn't want you to see yourself as one. He wants to see yourself as, on your own, independent, trying to accomplish something on your own. Because the devil knows if you try to accomplish this divine life on your own, you fail. But if you will draw on the oneness. Wait a minute. I'm one with a father. His strength is my strength. His ability is my ability. His health is my health. His wholeness is my wholeness. His soundness is my soundness. His victory is my victory. I'm one with everything that God is. His love is my love. His faith is my faith. His joy and peace and temperance and patience. Everything that he is, that I am one with, that it is mine right now. Now, see, the devil wants you to see yourself as separate from that, trying to achieve that. And that's where. That's where religion misses it. We're not trying to achieve it. At the new birth, we became one with it. And Jesus is telling us how to draw on the One that we are filled with. And that is, he says, everyone who acknowledges me before men confesses me out of a state of oneness with me. Look at this. I will also acknowledge him before my Father. If you want Jesus talking about you to the Father, confess who the Father is in you before other people. What's this mean? God knows nothing of us. Of a quiet, solitary salvation that we are to let people know. I have a Savior and Jesus is my Savior. You need a Savior, and he wants to be your Savior. All you have to do is receive Him. We have to confess, I can do all things through Christ. We have to, in the face of adversity, say, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me instead of weakening and falling apart. We're to confess and testify. Yes, we can say it privately, in the privacy of our own home, but we cannot be ashamed to say it publicly. Because when we. When we take Jesus public, we bring him honor. When we say publicly what he's doing for us, we. We glorify Him. We glorify our Father. And listen, Jesus constantly referred to. He said, everything I do is for the glory of my Father. And Jesus told us, whatsoever you do, Paul wrote it in his writings. Whatsoever you do, in word or deed, do all to the glory of God. Well, if people don't even know we belong to him, how are we glorifying Him? We are not to be ashamed of Him. Paul said, I am not ashamed of the Gospel. What says, I'm not ashamed of the Father? I'm not ashamed that I belong to him, that I'm one with Him. Listen, people who don't belong to God, people who are children of the devil, they're not afraid to be bold in their sin. They're not ashamed to say anything that would bring harm to people. They're not ashamed to partake of certain acts. They'll do it publicly. They'll broadcast it. They'll put it on social media. Things they're doing, places they're going. They're not ashamed of it. Well, I want you to know we belong to our Father and we're not ashamed that we belong to him. And he has given us the best life. And as I said, I want to clarify, making this statement, people get the idea, well, we're all children of God. You'll see people who don't know God make that statement. No, we're not all children of God. He's the Creator of all men. But you're only a child of God by choice. And you're not born into this earth as a child of God. And you say, well, how can that be? That he's my creator, but he's not my father. Well, if I were to. If I owned a piece of property just like this building that we're in, it's on our church property. My husband and I in the church, we took steps to purchase this land. Then we took steps to build the. To build the building. We contracted a contractor to build the building. He built the building, but he didn't own the building. We owned as a congregation, this ministry owned. The building was the same thing. God's the builder of all men. He's the creator of all men. But the one you obey is the one that owns you. And so we have to make a choice. Who's our Father? And if people don't choose God the Father, they don't choose Jesus as Savior, then they make the choice of the devil. Because we are not automatically born into this earth, children of God. That's by choice. And God does not force that on anyone. So we came into God's family by testifying and confessing. I received Jesus as my Savior. But I want you to know our confession and testimony time is not over. Just when we receive Jesus. We're to live this faith life testifying and confessing who God is in us. We're to testify. All things belong to me because I belong to Christ. Wholeness belongs to me because I'm in Christ. He is helping me in obeying. Listen, Paul wrote In Philippians chapter 2, it is God who is working in me both to will and to do of his good pleasure. And we're to testify. God's working in me to help me bring my will into agreement with his plan. I'm not going to kick against the plan of God. I don't want my own plan. I want what God authored for me. And so we're to testify. God is working in me. And when the devil is, if I could say this, trying to get you to change your will, you are to testify and confess in the face of opposition when the devil's trying to bring you into a direction that is against the plan of God. And you may. You know, I've been at this point when there are times I wanted to do something different than what I knew God was leading me to do. And I said no. God is working in me both to will to bring. He's helping me. Listen. He won't take control of my will, but he will help me in choosing his will. How does he help me? He shows me how good his will is. He shows me how abundant the blessing is with his plan and that helps me to make the right choice. So we are to testify. God is working in me both to will and to do. Listen, we can't even obey God without His help. We need his help for everything. We can't do anything right or fully as it ought to be done apart from Him. And so we are to confess and testify what God is doing for us and in us. And like I said, it will make for a robust faith if we're continually acknowledging, I'm in Christ, the strength of God is in me today, I can do what I need to do. And when we testify to that and confess that what that does, it opens the door for God to perform that. And so you need to understand in the life of faith, because the Word says the just shall live by faith components of our faith life is that we're constantly confessing and testifying to what God is in us, who he is in us, what he's doing for us, what he's doing through us for others. This is where some people though get in a point of difficulty is they're testifying to what the devil's doing against them. The one you talk about is the one you're giving permission to work in your life. If you constantly talk about the problems, the difficulties, the circumstances that are opposing you, the situations that are challenging you. When you constantly talk about what the devil is doing, you're. You're allowing him to continue to work those things against you. If you constantly talk about your past, where people did you wrong, where something was went wrong in your life, where someone harmed your life. You don't get past that talking about it, because talking about it updates it. You talk about what God's doing for you. You talk about how what God is doing for you is so much greater than what the devil ever tried to do against you and how God has restored and God has forgiven and God has cleansed. Listen, God did not try to correct our past. He did not try to fix it. He just cleansed it from us by the blood of Jesus. We should not try to fix our past. We should leave it under the blood of Jesus and then go on talking about what God is doing for us, what God is doing in us, and leave the past in the past, under the blood, forgotten and cleansed. And if people will constantly try to, if I could say this, if they're trying to fix their life through the soulish arena, what they end up doing is constantly being mindful of the shame, the embarrassment, where they've missed it, what they've done wrong. And all that is is sin consciousness and it's against the righteousness that belongs to every child of God. We have been made right with God and it is because Jesus did everything right and then credited that rightness to us as though we did it right. So we go to the Father talking about our rightness with Him. We don't go to the Father talking about how we have failed. Listen, when we fail, it's right and when we miss it, we sin. We should confess that before the Father. But that should not be our conversation, our ongoing approach to our Father. If somebody starts every prayer with a repentance, believe me this, they are living sin conscious. They are living under a sense of condemnation because we are not to be constantly talking about where we missed it. If we miss it, repent of it and go on and don't keep bringing it back up and don't keep talking about it to family members and relatives and reminding people how they did you wrong. Keeping that going on and on in your thought life, it will weaken your faith. It will rob you of of faith if you want to have a strong faith. You talk about I'm cleansed by the blood, my past is gone by the blood. And God is building me, he's building his plan every day in my life. He's bringing to pass his highest and his best. And that's what's worth talking about. And you need to confess that before men instead of confessing all your shame, confessing what people did against you, you're talking about what the Devil's done. And when you talk about what the devil has done, he keeps doing more of it. And it binds your soul. It, it brings you into a place of captivity to where you can't get past those difficulties because you're embracing the wrong thing. And I want you to know anybody that's held in bondage to their past can change it so quickly by choosing to leave their past under the blood and start talking about what God is doing for them today instead of talking about the past. Listen, if Paul would have allowed himself to be mindful of his faults, his failures, his weaknesses. He was a man who was out killing Christians. He was consenting to the death of Christians. He was imprisoning, he was persecuting the church. Now if the devil wanted him to not pen or write half of the New Testament, all the devil would have to do was bring that pass to him. But that's what that strategy didn't work on Paul, he said, I forget those things that are behind. Why? Because I'm pressing forward, reaching forward to what's in front of me now. That's what the person in Christ does. Paul did not bring it up and use that as a point to disqualify him by talking about his past. Every time people talk about their past, how they've done it wrong and they feel bad about it, they're under a sense of condemnation and that's robbing them of faith and it's robbing them of pressing forward into the plan of God. You cannot move into the plan of God by dealing with your past through the soulish arena. You lay it under the blood. You are a spirit being and by faith you say, that is under the blood that lives with me no more. And you go on and you press forward to what God has for you. You don't have to talk it out because when you're talking out the past, you're really letting it in. And the devil keeps binding you with that kind of remembrance and those kinds of words. He doesn't want you to get past what Jesus put you past, so he keeps you updating by continually talking about it. Well, that's what people who don't know the Word keep doing. They keep talking about it and talking about it and talking about it. But once you find out who you are in Christ, you realize I'm free from that lifestyle, I'm free from that. That if I could say that that self made remedy of trying to fix myself, myself. You can't fix yourself. You can only be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. And it takes faith to move into that. And that's why sometimes people go back to that soulish arena because their faith has been so compromised by talking about the faults, failures and weaknesses. And they've dismantled their faith many times. But I say this. In Christ you're complete. In Christ he has made you whole. In him he has authored a plan of God's goodness and blessing for your life. Talk about that. Feed your faith and don't dismantle your faith by talking about what the devil's done and points of condemnation in the mind of God. There should be no condemnation in the life of any believer. We should never allow it in our life because we're constantly testifying and confessing who God is in us and what he's doing now for us and through us. Amen. Well, that will give you the best life. Who you are in Christ is so much better than who you ever were outside of Him. So let's magnify who he is in us and who we are in Him. And we want you to not miss next time. And remember this until next time. Jesus is the Healer. God bless you.
