As part of our spiritual journey, we are often given instructions in the Word of God to obey i.e., things to do and things to not to. It is very easy, however, to get so caught up in outwardly obeying these instructions that we miss the very point of them. Could it be that what God truly desires from us goes beyond mere compliance with His word? What, then, is God really after when He gives us His instructions?

In this series, Pastor Jeffrey Walter emphasizes the essential role of patience in the journey of spiritual transformation. He uncovers why we give up easily and encourages perseverance in obeying the Word of God. By examining spiritual symptoms, he shows how their discovery should motivate obedience to God and reveals the need to embody genuine faith that makes whole.

In this episode, "I Want to Be Healed," Pastor Jeffery Walter explains the point of God’s instructions to us, and emphasises our need to understand and align with it. Drawing on the truth that God does not really want sacrifice or offering but something far deeper, he unpacks what obedience to God's instructions truly means, how we are to obey, and what we ought to do in following God's commandments. Using practical examples of spiritual symptoms in our spiritual bodies, (i.e., signs of spiritual sickness that should drive us to God for healing) he helps us understand what God is truly doing in us through His giving of instructions, and the need for us to observe these symptoms in ourselves, desire their removal, and begin to work with God towards restoration.

May this message urge you to examine the spiritual symptoms in yourself, and ignite your desire for healing and wholeness in the Lord.

Key Scriptures: Psalm 40:6 (KJV)

6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Psalm 51:16-17 (KJV)

16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
