Okay, well, we're going to get into the Word this morning. Amen. Glory to God. I had. The Lord said something to me yesterday in the car, initially, because I listen to Pastor Nancy a lot. A lot of times he'll speak to me along the lines that I'm listening to her. And so I thought, okay, we're going to start preaching on In Christ. And it's. I mean, I don't know how many episodes she has now. Hundred and something. Amazing from one phrase, one testimony that Brother Copeland did is amazing, that kind of utterance. But the Lord said, you will, but not this Sunday. And he said, this Sunday is going to be about healing. Yeah. And so he said, I want you to tell dad Hagin's story about how I appeared to him and put healing in his hands was an anointing. And then he said, then I want. And this surprised me. So then I want you to tell them your story about when you were 12 and you were ministered to by a prophet in Tulongate, Newfoundland. And I'll tell you what that is when I get there. But that's what he said. So we're going to go from there. Then I'm going to talk to you about. I call it the case for Christ and his Cross. And there's a lot that the enemy does to try to blind us from what the Lord has done for us, and we want to dismantle that even further today. I know this church knows that. But the preaching of the Word is just. It is what it is. It preaches, it cleanses, it strengthens. It does its own work. Amen. So, Father, I thank you that as I bring your word, Lord, I open up my spirit to you. You emphasize whatever you want, whatever stories you want, Father, they'll come out of me today and bless the people, feed them, mature them, take them from milk to meat, Lord, every service, take them more out of that place into more of the strong meat of the Word of God. Amen. So I'm going to read better page because I can tell it, but I love the way that he says it. I'm going to tell about this visitation that he had with the Lord, and it came from his book. I believe in visions, he said. Then the Lord said to me, stretch forth thine hand. He held his own hands out before him, and I looked into them. For some reason, I expected to see a scar in each hand where the nails had pierced his flesh. I should have known better. But many times we get ideas that are not really scriptural yet. They're accepted beliefs. So what he will say is it wasn't scars. There's gaping holes his hands didn't seal back up. Instead of scars, I saw in the palms of his hands the wounds of the crucifixion. Three cornered jagged holes. Each hole was large enough for me to have put my finger in it. Your finger. I could see light on the other side of the hole. I mean, your hands are full of bones and so are your feet. There's nothing soft in them. After the vision, I got out my Bible and turned to John chapter 20 to read about the time Christ appeared to his disciples following his resurrection. Eight days later, while the disciples, including Thomas were together in a room, Jesus appeared again in their midst. He turned to Thomas and said, reach hither thy finger and behold my hands. And reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing. Then Thomas, knowing it was Jesus, exclaimed, my Lord and my God. You know, if you're putting your hand in someone's side, they're open. Then Thomas, knowing it was Jesus, exclaimed, my Lord and my God. That's in John 20. I had deeper insight then into what Thomas had seen. He could have put his finger into the wound in Jesus hands and he could have thrust his hand into the wound in the Lord's side. As I looked upon the wounds in his hands outstretched before me, I did as he instructed and held my hands out in front of me. He laid the finger of his right hand in the palm of my right hand and then in my left palm. The moment he did, my hands began to burn as if a coal of fire had been placed in them. Then Jesus told me to kneel down before him. When I did, he laid his hand upon my head, saying that he had called me and had given me a special anointing to minister to the sick. He went on to instruct me that when I would pray and lay hands on the sick, I was to lay one hand on each side of the body. If I felt the fire jump from hand to hand, an evil spirit or demon was present in that body causing affliction. Isn't that amazing? I should call him out in Jesus name and the demon or demons would have to go. If the fire or the anointing in my hands did not jump from hand to hand, it was a case needing healing only I should pray for the person in Jesus name. And if he would believe and accept it, the anointing would leave my hands and go into that person's body, driving out the disease and Bringing healing. When the fire or anointing left my hands and went into the person's body, I would know that he was healed. What a story. How holy made him heal. He made him kneel before him. And they touched his hands and they burned. So this is the anointing coming upon a servant of God to bring the healing ministry. Now, at that time, dad Hagin begged the Lord, please don't put me in that kind of a ministry. Because people that were bringing healing in the body of Christ at that time were taking a lot of persecution. People were against them. They felt they were kooks or, you know, that they were fakes or frauds, whatever. But Jesus said, I'm sending you. And he. So he said yes to the plan of God, as you know. Amen. So then when I was in the car yesterday, the Lord said, I want you to start this new season by telling them about what I did in your life. And I think I've shared a little bits here and there, but I knew when it landed in me. Why? Because it's the start of a new season and this is going to increase. And so when. I think I was 12. Do you know if I was 12? Mom around there? Yeah. We were at our church down in Twillingate. There was a prophetess, prophet that came. Her name was Dorothy Penn. She was a little bitty thing. I would say she's probably 5 foot, maybe 5 foot. No taller than that. She was. So I remember she was tiny. And she at one point called the youth forward. And when she did, we all got in a line and she began to go down the line, and we all had our hands out like this. She told us to put our hands like this to receive. So she was praying over everybody. And as she went, she came to me. She laid her hands on me. She prayed, and she went past me. And when she passed me, she began to laugh. Just a little laugh that I could hear. And she said, okay, Lord, I'll do that. And she came back and she said, put your hands. Because I put my hands down now. She said, put your hands out again. And I put my hands out. And she placed her fingers in my palms. And they begin to burn. Yeah, they begin to burn. I've never felt that sense that time. Not like that. My hands burned like balls of fire. And it's like I could feel how far the fire went out from my palm. I could feel the orb of the power. Yeah, it was interesting. And then the fire began to jump back and forth between both my hands. And it was such a holy thing. It was a holy moment. Of course I'm crying, but I'm thanking the Lord. But when she did that, she said, gifts of healing. Gifts of healing. And that was when I was 12. And I'm 51. So I'll go from there to say, and I have shared this with the church in all those years, from age 12 till I think it was in 23. So that would be. I was 49. I never asked the Lord about gifts of healing. I believed it. I absolutely believed it. I knew at some point it would come to pass, but I never prayed about it. I never sought the Lord about it. I never said, teach me, Lord, what did you mean by that? I never said anything to him. I was radio silent because I thought, I'll be faithful, I'll serve, Craig. I'll serve, promise of life happily, and that'll be my serving. At some point I will qualify, and that will begin in my life. And so, as you know, in 23, I began to develop heart problems. And it was so surprising. I remember I was lying in bed one night and it was like it came as almost. It felt like a bubble of breathlessness. That's how it started. It came up and I noticed there was a kind of a feeling, but I could feel it from my heart. And I thought, well, I've never had that before. That's unusual. So then it began to increase. And of course I'm speaking to it, but then it goes from a little bubble into full blown. I have heart trouble. I know that I have heart trouble. I feel it all the time. I feel the breathlessness. I feel. Another thing that was disturbing was it was like my torso under my heart would pull down, really severely pulled down. And I would lie in bed at night and think, this can't be me. This can't be me. Not because I'm all that, but because I'm serving the Lord. I'm doing everything I know to do. So what's happening? And I'll tell you this, because of the teaching that I've had and the great fathers and mothers in my life, I'm used to getting healed. I have a lot. I have. I'm used to getting healed. Might take a little while. Some came quick, but just give it a little bit of time. I'm used to being healed. And this didn't respond. And so we get to Pastor Nancy's and she starts talking about women in particular, which she never does because she doesn't do that. She doesn't even have Women's meetings, the men are there. It's not women's meetings just announced as women's meetings. But she began to talk about how God had put it on her heart to talk about women, that when they didn't step into places, and not all of them were in ministry, some of them were a support to ministry or if they were in their life and it had nothing to do with ministry, but they weren't stepping into places that God had for them that they can bring sickness and it's sins of omission. And so I'm listening. It was so funny. I was thinking, wow, wow, this is so interesting. Wow. She never talks like this. Wow. And about 15 minutes in, the Holy Ghost, who lives on the inside of us, but seemed outside of me from my left side, said, listen to her. I went, oh, this is for me. And I remember immediately. I said, lord, I'm not even going to touch this with my mind, because if I do, I'll grasp at something. I will find something to indict myself. And if I'm grabbing the wrong thing, you understand, the devil will come in and hook his way to condemn me. If I grab it in my mind, I'm going to give him a hook. Not because I don't want to look inward, but spiritual things have to be discerned spiritually. And listen, if I was doing something at that time that I was convicted of, well, then I would have known fix that. But I had taken a view through my life and I couldn't find anything. And so I said, I'm not going to do this with my mind and I'm not going to be afraid. That one was very important because God's not mad at us. He's trying to reveal where the serpent has come in. What's he trying to do, close the door for you? That's his only heart towards his child, is to get you in the know so that door can be closed. And we got to the back room, I never said a word. We stood up, she came in, she sat down. And when she sat down, she just turned her head and looked right at me. And she said, and listen to this. She did that. Listen to this. She said, you know what I said in the sermon? I said, yes. She said, do you know that when God appeared to me, because he appeared to her in a dream and told her she was going to die young, she saw herself in a casket. He said, do you know that when God appeared to me? She said, I was pastoring full time. She said, I was traveling with Ed, when he needed me, she said, I was raising the kids. I think at that time, she was visiting the prisons like she was writing books. And she said to me, my roster is full and I'm checking the boxes. She said, I'm not perfect, but I've given my life to this. So the dream, she said, and she shared this publicly, was because when she married Dr. She. Because she was 20 years younger and he was her Bible school, he was so far down the road from her that she felt inferior in terms of her spirituality. Like, I got to catch up. I got to get there. I got to go. I've got further to go. And so she didn't. She unknowingly didn't enter into a place of prayer. She. For the prophet's office. And that's what had opened the door. And the Lord said, if you don't. If you. You won't leave, doctor but if you don't step into that place, your. Your ministry is going to get cut short. Now, that should tell you God is so merciful. He appeared to her and told her how to shut the door. And what the devil would love for people to take away from that story is fear. He'd love you to be afraid. But if you notice, she didn't have to be afraid. God came to her. God showed her, and God helped her. And so she corrected that. And when she corrected it, of course, as you know, she's going strong. Amen. So when she said that to me in the back room again, I said to myself, well, I got to go home and do inventory. And the first thing the devil said to me is, you're not going to be able to hear. You won't be able to hear. You think you're going to be able to hear, you're not going to hear. And I said, well, you're telling on yourself. That means the word says I'm going to hear, first of all. Second of all, for him to come instantly to tell me that I'm not going to hear. He's trying to bring fear, right? So I let my hands fall down to my side. I made sure I didn't go into the presence of the Lord. Frantic. I didn't try to hear. I just said, lord, the word already says you're going to tell me. So that's done. There's a period on the end of that. You will speak to me. So I know that. So I said, lord, I seek you because I need you to show me. And of course, as my testimony goes, he showed me six different Areas. And this is the part that's so precious to me. When I had number six in place, and I knew it, he took two weeks. He took two weeks to show me. One of them was. He woke me up in the middle of the night and took me through the book of Daniel and talked to me about the importance of a prayer life. Because without a prayer life, you can't see. See, you're trapped here. You got to get down here. That's why you pray till it becomes a joy. It's not a must, must do. Discipline. It's the flow of a river. But that's why he orders you to pray. So he orders the babies to go, I don't want to pray. He orders it because he knows once you tap, once you get down, you'll go, oh, that's what he meant. But you can't do it. You can't know it before you do it. So he commands you to do it, and then you'll step into that. And so basically, oh, I lost my train of thought. Where was I? Anybody remember when I did number six? This is. Thank you, guys. I appreciate that. Craig asked me, and I go blank. I'm like, ask faster. Happy? I don't know. I was enjoying the message. It's the truth. When I got. When I got six in place, this is what the Lord said to me. He said, now forget about it. I said, but, Lord, I haven't changed anything that I need to seek you for yet. He goes, I know, but you will now that you know. You know enough. The door is shut. He said, I credit it to you. Isn't that sweet? That's so sweet. And can I tell you this? The six things were nothing that I would have. Nothing that I would have thought. He said, because you didn't ask me about gifts of healings or healing. And I said, lord, I didn't know I was supposed to ask. Well, I'm telling you that's why your heart's getting healed, because I'm shutting that door for you. Right? I'm to pray about the pace. I'm always praying about the pace because people, great men and women of God, get it wrong. The pace is always something. I'm praying for the prayer people in this place, Prayer people at the pace. We don't want anything added that shouldn't be there. And Craig's inclination is to go too fast, although he slowed down. My inclination is to go too slow. I like my schedule and space. Schedule and space. Craig does ten things a day. I like one thing. And Space. It's the truth. I'm not lazy. I'm just saying scheduled things. I just. I like room in my life. And then he said, leadership. And then one of the things, he said this in Nova Scotia, Remember, Lorraine? He said, leadership. I wasn't going to tell all this this morning, but I think probably what's happening is it'll lead into Wednesday night. Whatever's not covered this morning. But he said, in Nova Scotia, he said, leadership. He said, now listen to what he said. He said, I have given you a strong leader to observe and to learn from. And he said, many of the things that you could have learned from him, you dismissed as his personality. And he rebuked me. Strong. And I said, lord, I am so sorry. And it came up before me. I cannot tell you the endless times I would say, well, that's him, not me. That's him, not me. And there's room for that. I have to be me. But he was saying, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about I put someone in front of you that if you were spiritual, you were supposed to look at that spirit, spiritual guidance, that spiritual leadership. But you didn't. You were just you. And he said, you missed some of your training. I said, I'll make it up. I'll make it up. And he said, I want you to make it up. I want you to listen, I want you to observe. Then he said, prayer. And like I said, he got me up through the night. And about Daniel's prayer life. Daniel's life was impossible. I want you to know that. He passed through those. I think it was four administrations, and one didn't love the other. I'm telling you, he should not have been in that place. He should have been murdered. He should not have made it. And, you know, Nebuchadnezzar tried to murder him a couple of times in the group, you know what I mean? And he shouldn't have made it. But because of that prayer, like that umbilical cord. And I said this. I think in Bible school, if you don't stop and pause when you read that he prayed three times a day. Just think about it. You eat three times a day, but it's like you pray and like, we're done, and there's no condemnation there. I'm just trying to bring something to light. In a couple of hours, Daniel's going to pray again. And then when everybody's at work and doing their thing, Daniel's gone to prayer again. And he's doing it daily. I mean, that's a prayer life. And God talked to me about that. The fifth thing he said was unusual. He said, you know enough to get in the spirit and stay in the spirit, and you keep coming out. I said, okay. You keep coming out. I said, okay, I will do this. I will learn. He said, you've learned. In other words, what's he saying? Don't be fleshly. You can stay in. Your spiritual mother talks about it constantly. Get in there and stay in there. Don't be a flesh bucket. Don't be pulling, don't be angry, don't be this, don't be that. Make sure you stay in the spirit. And then that was number five. And number six was. Was asking him about the psalmist ministry. So those were the six. And then after that, my heart trouble cleared up. And I'm telling you, I felt like a kid skipping through kindergarten. I was so happy. I felt made new. It was frightening. It was frightening. But I was never terrified. And I noted that. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about he was there with me. He was there with me. He's there with you. He's there with you. Now I've laid the foundation. So I want to talk about this. So we, the body and Jesus, the head, has an accuser. You have an accuser that comes against you. But I want to talk about the accuser that accuses Jesus in our minds, in our lives, that comes to us and makes us settle for less. When heaven seems far or when healing seems like it hasn't come, or it hasn't come. And I wanted to talk about that because I wanted to talk to you through the Word. I want to remind this church of the price that was paid. Because if you dwell on the price that was paid, you'll have safety inside and you won't be knocked off of the rock of our salvation and questioning and wondering. And, you know, I will say this healing is positional. It is the finished work of the cross. But I know that I have faced things in my life where sometimes I just needed to know some things from God. And do not be dismayed. Don't think that because I'm a pastor, I get answers. My process is the same as yours. I just. I have built into my life waitings on God. That's a part of what I do now. Because I look at the future and I see victory and I see what God is doing. I see an enemy. And I'm sober. I'm not afraid, but I'm sober. And if I spend time Waiting on the Lord. The Bible says he's going to answer me. I don't have to take the Word like a baseball bat, like it's something outside of me. I can go to him. And let me just say, now I will get to that. Let me read the verse, Revelation 12:10. It says, I'm reading the second part of that verse, verse 10 in Revelation 12. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night has been hurled down. Now, that happens midway through the tribulation. Okay, He's. He fiercely accuses you. I don't even know if people even recognize it. That's where religion creeps in. That's where we don't take our healing violently. That's where fear comes in. Because now we're in a predicament when sickness has showed up, whether it's sickness of the body, whether it's sickness of the mind. And Jesus, Jesus paid such a complete price, but he wants his church, knowing him. He wants his church to wait on him. And if something is not clicking, if something is not working, he says, call on me. Call upon me, and I will answer you. And I will show you great and mighty things which you know not. So what happens when we just do the Word, do the Word, do the Word, do the Word, do the Word, do the Word. It turns into a rosary. And what it is, is there's a relationship there with the Lord where when something's not working, we go to him based on, Lord, this is not working. I know what your Word says. I know your Word says you healed us with the resurrection. It was sealed. I mean, it was finished. He did a complete work. And I want to talk to you about what he did. So because there's a veil that tries to keep us out, there's a veil that tries to keep that realm on scene. Now, he tore that veil in his own flesh. And it says that the veil the temple was rent, inviting us into the holy of holies. But if you've noticed, the world is not a perfect place for us. And he wants us to go in behind that veil because he has opened it. He doesn't want us living in any fear. He does not want us living in any sickness. And the fact that we are shows you how strong that veil is to keep you out, because His Word is true. His Word is true. And so he will come upon you, and he will come upon the church, and he will condition you with his. I'm talking about the Lord now. He will condition you with his word and take you from glory to glory and from victory to victory. And if there's things that have been handled quickly, praise the Lord. But if there's things that have not been handled quickly in your life, where they just seem to prevail against you, he is inviting you to go behind the veil and sit and wait on him. Your job is not to make him speak. I promise you, he will speak. Your job is to wait on him. Walter Butler talked about it the best. I just love that man of God. He went home the year we were born. 1974. But he was known for bringing the presence of the Lord. And he would wait on the Lord. What is God saying to us when he says to wait on Him? Is he trying to make our flesh uncomfortable? What's he trying to do? He's trying to invite us into a real relationship. He looks at us with love when we pick up his scriptures because we're his children. Every time he sees our efforts, he looks on us with love. But he wants us to be in a place of safety within us. He wants us to know him through, waiting on him through. Through taking the problems, the bigger ones to him, waiting on him. And he can either guide us through it or he completely eradicates it. It's important to wait on the Lord. Romans 8:5 says, for they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh, but they that are after the spirit, the things of the spirit. You notice, you can see the flesh, you can see the flesh, you can't see the Spirit. Or if he's moving, he's like the wind, you can see the effects of him. But spiritual matters. That's why God is trying to get his church in the Spirit, learning him in the Spirit, so that in the Spirit is just as real as the flesh in the sense that spirit life is so real to us, so real to us. But you know, Jesus actions disprove the devil's lies, that he's not enough, that his healing's not enough, that his deliverance is not enough. He gave us God, gave us His Son, Jesus. And I love this verse. Romans 8:32. He says, he that spared not his own son, his own perfect Son, who knew no sin, but delivered him up for us all. How shall he not, with him also freely give us all things? He is telling you, I've given it all to you. And if I'll give you my greatest, I'll give you. If someone gives you the greatest, that means everything lesser. They'll say yes, because they've Proven. They will go to the greatest extent to show you that nothing is left that you can't have. They've said yes. So when Jesus gave his most sorry. When the Father gave his most prominent precious, he was announcing to the world, I give you everything and all the lesser things, too, and I'm going to put him on a tree and I'm going to allow him to be butchered. Now just stop and think about that. Jesus willingly said, yes. This is how far that love goes. This is how far that redemption goes. And he left Glory. You have to stop and think about that. He's God. He knows what he's going to encounter. He left Glory where there's no sin, where he's with his Father. And he knows. I mean, it's not just a demotion. I mean, he's not getting demoted, but you know what I mean. The realm, from one to the other. He knows I'm going to walk out of the perfectness of the spirit, of this realm where everything is glory, everything is whole, and I'm going to walk. And not for a day, not for three years, for 33 years. And that's a lot of time. That is a lot of time. And he committed himself to that and to come and to pour his blood out from people. And it's not even like they were at the base of the cross thanking him. He was telling the whole world, there is no place that I can't redeem you from. There is no sickness, there is no shame. There is no rejection. There is no past. There is no problem that I have said no to. I will allow myself to be pierced. You know that crown of thorns? It says that crown of thorns. God said it to me one day. He said, my son wore a crown of pain for you. That those thorns represented the curse because they're mentioned in Genesis. I mean, everything that he did was reality, and it was symbolic. So he took the crown of thorns and they beat it on his head. And the thorns went into his head. So that's for every mental problem, every learning disability, every confusion. That's for every shackle that it's on the inside. And I dare say this because the Lord is so multifaceted. It's for every brain problem. It's for every Alzheimer's. It's for every neurological thing. It's for every emotional thing. I know the brain is not all of the emotions, but you understand what I'm saying? He placed that the head of the body was placed on him. So everything from. From the head down was pierced. Just listen to this. I wrote this down. It says he was marred more than any man. Let's just stop there for a second, okay? So he bore unspeakable pain. And while he was bearing it, he was completely misunderstood. So let's go to Isaiah 53, first verse, 4 to 5. We've heard it, but these are precious words spoken what, 500 years before Christ, I don't know how many years. Surely he hath borne our griefs, carried our sorrows. Surely, surely, surely, surely. Yet we got it wrong. Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. He's talking about the human race that don't understand what happened at the cross. You know, he's getting his kind of thing because he poked his head up above the Roman Empire and the Jews, and they hated him for it. Right? He was not being punished by God. He was being punished for you and me. And he was taking it and he was absorbing it into himself. He covered the oppression of the mind. And he. Listen to this. Isaiah 52:13, as as many were. I think it's astonized. I think that's how you say it. Astonished, basically, at the. This is Isaiah. His visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. Now, I'll say this. I don't mean to be gruesome in any way, but there's men on this earth and women that have died in pieces. I'll just say it that way. So what is this talking about? I remember Pastor Nancy saying, maybe I don't want to put that image in your mind. I'm not going to put that image in your mind. Something to do with farmers and stuff like that. But anyway, the total price that he paid, it was physical and it was spiritual. And every evil spirit, every principality, every high ruler of darkness, Satan, Satan himself, came against Jesus in this moment. And it says that he was marred more than any man. It says, just as there were many who were appalled. It says that they walked by him astonished, like it grossed them out. His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being. The Word is telling you the truth. And his form marred be beyond human likeness. But many were amazed when they saw this. Another translation. His face was so disfigured, his face, that he hardly seemed human. And from his appearance, one would scarcely know that he was a man. You have to pause there. You have to think about that because he did it for you. Completely disfigured and marred. That did not count. What happened when he went down into hell and face those powers there. So what is he saying? I'll do anything for you. I've done it all for you. You can trust me. No other person has done this. And he was a man. He laid aside his deity so that he could redeem us back from the curse. So it should anger us when we have a version of the Gospel and not the fullness of the gospel. It should anger us when the enemy comes to us saying, God doesn't care. God doesn't hear. That's a popular one with the God doesn't hear because if he heard, you wouldn't be suffering now. And I'm telling you healing is positional. And I'm telling you this, it's not difficult. Nothing that Jesus did was difficult. Your enemy comes to make everything difficult. It is not on God's side. It is not on the side of his sin. Son, he made you well. There is nothing you will ever face that he has not already put the period at the end of the sentence and said, it is done. It is so done. It is completed. It is finished. It is finished. I think Wednesday night I am going to get into more of a deeper teaching on Christ being formed. He's had it on my heart to say it for. But Christ being formed in terms of warfare, in terms of going in to take things in the spirit, because it's not just the character of Christ that needs to be formed, it's answers. Because he says, I travail in birth. For the church, it was a spiritual action, and it speaks of toil and even emotional exhaustion. But there's something that the commentaries don't say, and it's called spiritual birthing. And God wants you to know how to do that so you can birth those things in your life, birth those things in you, in your families, birth those things for other people. And it's not milk, but people that know milk can eat meat as well. So I'm just saying that's where I'm going to go with that. But it came up in my spirit. It's very important that we combat the lies of the enemy with the Word. Jesus had to deal hand to hand combat with words. Okay, it wasn't hand to hand, but you know what I mean. Everything that the devil said to him, he answered with the word. So when God answers, when God looks. When things look a certain way and the devil says, he's not going to answer you this time. And he'll even bring up examples of where people didn't get their answer Right. People we respect. I won't say any names, but I went to the Lord recently and I said, father, I said, I am not good at ignoring things. And I said, I see death on every side. I see ministers that are prayer warriors. I see doctor's plane go down. I see things around us. And I said, you, word says that we can trust you, so it's not on your side. And I said, for all the days of my life, and not in fear, I'm going to wait on you because I see an enemy that is nuanced, that is sly, that likes to lay traps for God's people. But he promises us long life. And if you didn't attain long life, you. You needed to know more in that area. And I know, I know people will not like what I'm saying. I'm not accusing. I climb my own mountains. I'm telling you, I am not accusing. But don't tell me the word of God can't be trusted. So in the growing up of this church, I would say you have to wait on God for him to mature you, because you're listening for his voice. Let me tell you, the way that it works with me is I'll wait. I'll wait. Nothing, nothing, nothing. So I've learned to enjoy the waiting. I mean that. I get my cup of coffee, I sit back. I don't force anything. This is my activity. God sees that he's doing something to me, even if I can't see it right now. And it might be 17 days afterward, and I'll be walking in mid step and my spirit will move. And I'm not trying to hear it. My spirit man is more real than my physical man. My spirit man will pick it up. Because it's not. It's not about me being so great that I can pick it up. It's about me being positioned. The waiting, the simple, childlike okay. And I've gotten up so many times and said, well, that didn't feel too great. Lord, I didn't feel like I really got. But you marked it. You saw that I wanted to be here. You saw that I'm making an effort. So however many times I need to make that effort, your word says, call upon me and I will answer you. I. I will show you great and mighty things which you don't know. It's an invitation. It's an invitation into the knowledge of God, into his person, into the fullness of him. I want to experience the fullness of God. I said, lord, I want to. Can I be honest Sometimes I'm so over in my prayer life in heaven that I don't live for this realm anymore. So I don't really feel like I wouldn't want to live forever and ever. I want to go to heaven. I want to be healthy. I want to live a good stretch of time. But heaven's very real to me, so I don't pine for this life. And that makes me go, you know, trying to hang on to healing or get healed or whatever. It's about the fullness of what's been promised to us. It's about a church walking together, walking far past confession, walking far past the mechanics, walking into the graces of God, where everybody in the place is lit up from their innermost man. They know how to position. They know their Father. They won't let the devil talk them out of something just because it's taking some time. But the taking time is the positioning. When I heard that word from Pastor Nancy and the Spirit said, listen to her, first of all, the first thing I thought was, oh. And then the second thing I thought was, oh, he's come to help me. He's come to help me. He's come to get me positioned. His healing didn't change. How hard. Just think about this. I'm having heart trouble. I'm in trouble. And just listen to the redemption, the way that it came. Because I'm just like you. I got a spirit I need to hear God. I'm in a service. God puts it on our heart to speak the right message. That's why I'm there. I'm not in every one of her meetings. I can't. But I'm there the five times that she calls and any other time that God says, you don't normally go here, go this one. So I'm there. I get in the back room. She tells her personal testimony, you notice no effort on my part. Zero. I come home, I settle it. No fear. In two weeks. He keeps giving me answers, but the first thing I had to overcome was the devil saying, he's not going to answer you. In other words, you're going to stumble around in darkness. I'm going to torture you. You're not going to get an answer. Just like this, this, this, this. And so I answered him. Like Luke 4, Luke 4, where Jesus answered the devil. I answered him. No. He says, if I call on him, he will answer me, and I'll settle that right now. Then in two weeks, when the information is downloaded and he's satisfied that I'm not, that I'm not in trouble. Look how loving he is. When he's satisfied that I'm not in trouble anymore, he says, ignore it. But the getting of those six points. Someone called me and prophesied. I didn't do any work. I just listened. He woke me up in the middle of the night, turned to Daniel. Okay, Lord, I'll turn to Daniel. I read it. He deposited something. What I'm saying is there's nothing great about me. There's nothing great about any of us in that sense. But you were born to hear your spirit. Man is born to hear. And you are born. But you have to position. And that's what the local church is. It's teaching you something you would never know. You wouldn't even know that that was the positioning for healing. You wouldn't know it was the finished work of the cross. It's God out there somewhere. A nice story out there somewhere. When he's come to live on the inside of us and he wants. He wants us to live. I love healing, but I'd rather live in divine health, right? I'd rather live in divine health. I'd rather be very violent against things when they come. So there's no measure of me. You win some, you lose some, right? And there's a verse in Revelation. It talks about the devil comes to wear out the saints, and he can wear us out if we don't know these things about. Don't ever let the devil tell you that God's mad at you. Listen. That is a big one, and that one is subtle. Most of us don't walk around in this church thinking that God's got a big stick because we've learned that he's good and then he's full of love. We've learned that Ms. Charisma was singing about God so loved the world this morning. Perfect song, right? Perfect. So true. The truth of the gospel. But where the devil would insert himself into you is the making you feel bad every time you miss your devotions. Then you go in that all day long. You just feel bad. You just don't feel enough. He made you enough. He made you enough. He made you a king and a queen. He made you righteous. So God is asking you to develop so that you can understand how to speak to those things, how to not operate under those things. And healing is the same way. It's the positioning. It's not feeling like you are reaching out to get God to listen to you and that you are so bowed down that maybe God's just not going to answer this time his word says that he has already healed you. Everything that you need, he has provided. And look at the cost. What if he just assigned it? What if he just spoke and said, you know, this is not the gospel. But what if he had just said, okay, you know, if you ask me for something, I'll give it to you? No, he had to come down and reverse the curse for us. He had to agree to that. And, I mean, I don't know about you guys. Like you ever stubbed your toe. Like our hands and our feet are filled with bones and it hurts. And those nails would have had to break the bones or something, or push the bones apart, something. Or they would have had to pierce the apex of the foot. And then all of his weight. Like this is not told for sensationalism. He agreed to it, being God agreed to it. He is shouting. Every cell of his being, every drop of his blood is telling you, I love you. I don't want you to live sick. I don't want anything in your life to be destroyed. I've got you. You don't understand something. Come into my presence. Call on me. I have broken the veil. You have access to my presence. I want to answer you. I will deliver you. I will come. I will answer you. I will show you great and mighty things that right now you simply don't know. But you will. If you call on me, your cup will run over. Because he loves you. He loves you. He loves you. And he wrote that in the sky hanging above the earth in his blood. He wrote it in his scripture. 66 books. 66 books. I was saying to Ms. Jessica the other day when she was at the house. I said, I want to know his Word more. But there's a whole lot of word to know. 66 books he had written and selected. He let personalities come through, but every word is anointed. It was written by the Holy Ghost for us, and he used men to pen it. But it's not them. It's the Holy Ghost. It's the Holy Ghost. This great and mighty gospel. I don't want people letting go of things. I don't want anyone letting go of the promises of God. I want you to know. And he wanted me to tell you to reiterate this great love. It's the greatest love story ever told. It really is. He loves us. He died for us. He didn't just have one thing done to him. From head to toe, he was marred. He was bloodied. And then the spiritual battle. And then his father having to turn his Eyes away from him. You know, if you've ever. If you're pure, remember the word says, to the pure, all things are pure. Sometimes it's hard for us to get ahead of our enemies because we don't think like them. We're not conniving. If you're pure, so you don't think like them. So it might be hard. I mean, your spirit can pick it up, but your mind won't go there. Because to the pure, all things are pure. We're not babies. We know there's stuff out there. But have you ever been around someone and it's like. Or you've ever come out of the presence of God and then someone puts something on TV and there might be, like, a vile cuss, or you're in the presence of somebody that's cracking a dirty joke, which I haven't been around in 20 years, I feel. But anyway, I'm saying there's something that's very. It's an affront to you. The purity in you. The purity in you. That's an affront to you. And sickness is an affront to the holiness of God, to that price. It's an affront. We should be angry. We should run it off. We should. But he's growing us up in his scriptures so that our positioning. I keep mentioning that word, our positioning is important. He positioned you when you got born again, but then he puts you in a church so that you're no longer taking advantage. You're learning the Word. And then when you're using that weapon, that sword, powerful. And you can't see the fruit of that weapon. Well, you don't turn on the weapon. You go to the Father, you go to Jesus, you say, I'm waiting on you. This thing's supposed to cut. This is an amazing weapon. It's supposed to sever things. Yeah, it's supposed to. It has a voice in it that if it calls, things have to come and things have to go. Things have to be demolished. But, Father, it doesn't seem like it's working in this area. It's more required. It's more required. But I guarantee you, the heavy part's not on you. The easy part's on you. It's more required. And then you wait on him, and then things begin to come. Or you're in a meeting and somebody pulls you out, or you're sitting in, as we, like, we call our shower, like the wet prayer room. Honestly, God likes to talk in the shower, folks. I don't know why. Just does, you know, so maybe it's because your mind is at rest and you're just praising him. He will answer those who call upon him. Amen. Praise the Lord. Well, Father, I think that's where I'm done. Unless you want me to share one more testimony. Maybe one. Okay, I'll tell this. When we went to the Airbnb in New York when Craig was doing flying lessons, he was just starting it. He was meeting with Randy there, the instructor. And around that time, I noticed when I came home, and this category is called continuous speaking. You might think you're doing a lot of speaking. You're probably not. Not because you're trying to be lax. The Lord spoke to me one day and said, jennifer, you feel like you are, but you're really not. You believe it, you say it, you agree. But he said, I'm talking about. I'm talking about speaking, speaking it out. Because those words are forming things. Speaking, like with the sword, you're speaking with the sword, you're not. Just when the devil comes rebuking him, you do that. But he's talking about building something. Building something. Something by speaking. And so I developed something called. You can call it two things. It's called either tinnitus or tinnitus. Oh, my gosh. I would put my head down at night and it felt like. Oh, my gosh. It felt like Niagara Falls was going through my head. And I am not exaggerating. A deep whoosh, whoosh. And it would be relegated to when I lay horizontal at night, I could hear it, but when I was up, it would go away. So I was so grateful because, well, let me say this. One morning, I went out in the living room, and when I sat down, the whoosh didn't go away. So I'm thinking night and day, I'm going to have to put up with this sound in my head. And there was fear that just. It felt claustrophobic, like I couldn't get away from my own head, my own sound. And so I settled it. I said, no, I will not be afraid. And I began to talk to it and talk to it and talk to it. I lay my head down, and after a while, it started to go, go down, go down. This is like a year into it. Go down. I'm just. And it stopped being heard in the day when I was upright and it started to go down, started to go down. And I'm thinking, awesome. And then it started to go up, started to go up, started to go up. And I thought, what is happening? So I just kept speaking. And then the Lord gave me this verse. I love this verse. I woke up one morning and this verse came up out of my spirit. And he said, Psalm 8. Two, out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, thou hast ordained praise because of thine enemies. And this is the best part. That thou mightest. What's the next word? Steal. What was I experiencing? Movement, noise. That thou. My eyes, just my spiritual eyes grabbed a hold. I guess your eyes can grab that word. Steal. Steal the enemy and the avenger. And so I began to walk that out and I said that verse. Said that verse. Said that verse. I thank you. Make my enemies still. This is still. This tinnitus is still. This is still. This is silent. This is silent. And so, you know, I say that because I had a little bit of a journey there, but I began to increase my speaking. No, you don't. I don't have that. That was. That was taken care of for me at the cross, and I don't have it today. It's gone. But I've heard. I've seen meetings where people call that out, and it's like I want to champion them because I know what that feels like. And it's tormenting. It's very tormenting. Plus, it's in your head, so it feels wrong. It feels like something's wrong in your head. Right? So with continuous speaking, look to your spirit and speak. Look to your spirit and speak. Because you want to be positioned for divine healing. It was given to you. It was paid for fully. And you're born to receive it. You're made as a vessel to receive it. You are. You are God. That healing will come right up through your spirit. Where he lives, he lives in your spirit. It will come out of your spirit, and it will just. And it's done. That's how simple healing is. That's how simple. But it's so precious. And to the one that receives it, there is nothing better in this world than to be free from sickness, torment. Oppression is in the same category. Amen. It's the same. Hallelujah. Well, Father, I thank you for your word. This morning we spoke about your sacrifice. Jesus, I thank you for your sacrifice. We thank you for your sacrifice, Lord. You did what you said you did. You gave a complete sacrifice. Sacrifice. You paid every debt. You made us whole, Lord, in the realm of the spirit, Lord. You want us to receive it like little children? Just to take what you have given, Lord, not to fight or blame ourselves or blame you, but to receive the power of God. Oh, I thank you, Lord. You help us. You grow us as a tree grows a fruit, Lord. You grow us in the areas of healing, Lord, that we would mature and that we would receive. Hallelujah.
