1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a.

5
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: Friend, reappreciate you, and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: come into your homes, and if you're ever in our area,

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: please stop by and be a part of one of

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: our services. I promise you we will make you feel

10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: right at home. I like to start with something funny,

11
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: and I heard about this eighty five year old man.

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: He was out fishing one morning. He heard a voice saying,

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: pick me up. He looked around, didn't see anybody, thought

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: he was dreaming. He heard it again, pick me up.

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: He looked down and saw a frog. He said, in amazement,

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: are you talking to me? The frog said yes, pick

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: me up and kiss me, and I'll turn into a

18
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: beautiful bride. The man quickly picked him up put him

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: in his front pocket. The frog said, wait a minute,

20
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I said, kiss me and I'll turn into a bride.

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: The man said no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 1: have a talking frog say it like you mean it.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

24
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 1: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about make the switch. One

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: prayer we're taught to pray, is God, not my will,

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: But let your will be done. Many times we don't

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: know what's best for us, and when it comes to

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: guidance and direction, it's important to ask God to show

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: us his will. God. If it's your will, let me

35
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: get this position. If it's your will, cause this relationship

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: to move forward. That's honoring God showing our dependency on him.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: But there are some things we don't have to pray God.

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: If it be your will, we can look into scripture

39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: and find out what the will is. When it comes

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: to healing, you don't have to pray God. If it's

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: your will, you can heal me. All through the scripture

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: we can see it is God's will. Matthew fifteen says

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: they brought the sick the lame the blind to Jesus,

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: and he healed them all fourteen times. In the scripture

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: it says he healed all that were sick. I can't

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: find one time where Jesus turned someone away and wouldn't

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: heal them. He didn't do it the same way, but

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: he healed them all. You don't have to pray. Lord.

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: If it's your will, you can bless me. Jesus said,

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: he came that we might live an abundant life to

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: the full till it overflows. Well, God, if it's your will,

52
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: you can free me from this addiction. Otherwise I'll endure it.

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 1: I'll take up my cross and follow you carrying the cross.

54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Isn't living addicted? Sick defeated? That means not giving into

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: carnal desires, not compromising. But as long as you think, God,

56
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: if it be your will to heal me, to bless me,

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: to free me, it will limit what God does. You

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: have to make the switch from God. If you want

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: to heal me to God, I know you want to

60
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: heal me from God. If you want to bless me

61
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: to God, I know you want to bless me. Well, Joel,

62
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: if God wants me to carry this sickness, If he

63
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: wants me to endure it to show that I trust him.

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: I'll gladly do it. You don't have to carry it.

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: God's already carried it. Isaiah said, Jesus took our infirmities

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: and carried our diseases. It is not faith to say

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: if it be your will, you have to have the

68
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: boldness to say, God, I know it is your will.

69
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: That verse goes on to say, by his stripes, you

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: were healed. Jesus took thirty nine lashes on his back

71
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: before he was crucified. Studies tell us there are thirty

72
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: nine major categories of disease. He took one for each one.

73
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: He didn't leave anything out. By his stripes, you were healed.

74
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: It's past tens. He's already done it. Our attitude should be, Lord,

75
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I receive you're healing. I'll receive what you've already done.

76
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: If you don't have to beg God to do it,

77
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: try to talk him into it. Wonder what the will is?

78
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Make the switch. God, you carried this sickness, so I

79
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: don't have to carry it. So Lord, thank you that

80
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: healing is flowing into me. Thank you that I'm getting better.

81
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: Thank you that the number of my days you will fulfill.

82
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: When the Israelites were in the desert, headed toward the

83
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Promised Land, there were two million people out there. They

84
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: wandered around for forty years, it says in Psalms. God

85
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: brought them out, and there was not one sick or

86
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: feeble one among them. They had been in slavery for years, mistreated.

87
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: You would think somebody would be sick out in the desert.

88
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: They didn't have pharmacies, hospitals, modern medicine. Surely somebody would

89
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: have a migraine, somebody would come down with the flu,

90
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: with dizziness, with kidney stones. But not one of them

91
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: were sick. God was showing us his will. Yes, we

92
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: have to fight illnesses. Things come against us. But if

93
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind you think this sickness

94
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: must be God's will for me, it must be his

95
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: plan for my life that will keep you from getting wound.

96
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: God works where there's faith. You have to know it

97
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: is His will for you to be healthy, whole, and energetic.

98
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: You may be dealing with an illness. Let me encourage you.

99
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: It didn't come to stay. It came to pass. It

100
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: is not permanent, it's temporary. Healing is flowing into you.

101
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: Even now, you're getting better as you're listening. The same

102
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: God that brought them out without one sick or feeble

103
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: one is in the process of bringing you out right now.

104
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: One of the names of God in the scripture is

105
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Jehovah Rapha. That means the Lord, our healer. You may

106
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: know God as a savior, and that's important, but he

107
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: wants you to know him as a healer as well.

108
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: I talked to a man that was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

109
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: He'd taken different treatments, wasn't having any effect. His doctors

110
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: were somewhat puzzled. This cancer is treatable. Most people go

111
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: into remission within six months. He was two years down

112
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the road and not seeing any improvement. He'd had a

113
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: stem cell transplant, chemotherapy, radiation, nothing was helping. He told

114
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: how his prayer was, Lord, if it's my time to die,

115
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. I'll endure it and I'll honor

116
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: you to the end. But if it be your will,

117
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: you can heal me. He was waiting to see what

118
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: God's will was. One night he was flipping through the channels.

119
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: He heard me talking about how God wants us to

120
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: be wound and how he wants us to live an abundant,

121
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: dictorious life. Something came alive on the inside. Faith was

122
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: ignited in his heart. Instead of praying Lord, if it

123
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: be your will, he started praying, Lord, thank you that

124
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: you have all already healed me, that I will live

125
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and not die. He prayed from a place of faith,

126
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: a place of victory. Two months ago, he went back

127
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: for a checkup for the first time in two years.

128
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: He got a clean bill of health. Today he is

129
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: one hundred percent cancer free. Amazing things happen when you

130
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: make the switch from God, if it be your will

131
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: to God. I know it is your will. That boldness

132
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: is your faith being released. That's what allows God to

133
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: bring healing, favor and blessings. And this man loved God.

134
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: He was ready to endure to the end to carry

135
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: that sickness. But he found out he didn't have to

136
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: carry it. That was the turning point when he made

137
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: the switch. There's a big difference between praying God, if

138
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: it be your will you can heal me to praying God,

139
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I know it is your will. I know the price

140
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: has already been paid. I know You're Jehovah. Rapphah, the

141
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: Lord my healer. So thank you that healing is flowing

142
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 1: into me. It's difficult to have faith if you don't

143
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: think it's something God wants to do. You have to

144
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: be convinced. It is God's will for you to be healthy,

145
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: It is his will for you to be blessed, to

146
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: live an abundant life. When you know this, you'll do

147
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: like him, and you'll live out of a place of faith,

148
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: not doubt, not wondering. The scripture tells us to come

149
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: boldly to the throne to find help in our time

150
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: of need. It's not boldness to say God, if it

151
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: be your will, you can take away this sickness, this cancer,

152
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: this chronic pain. That's not coming boldly, that's coming with doubts,

153
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: that's coming unsure, not knowing if it's supposed to happen.

154
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: You have to make the switch. Some things we already

155
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: know are God's will, And one of the best things

156
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: we can do is remind God what he said. If

157
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: you want to pray with confidence, bring the will to him.

158
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: Pray what he promised. God, you said you would restore

159
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: health back into me. You said you took my infirmities,

160
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: carried my sicknesses. You said by your stripes, I was healed.

161
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: When you pray the promises, you won't say if it

162
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: be your will, because you know the will. Imagine Jesus

163
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: sitting at the right hand of the Father. He hears

164
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: the prayer, Lord, if it be your will, you can

165
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: heal me. He turns to the Father and says, you mean,

166
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: after all the stripes I took, after all the pain

167
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: I endured, after I sacrificed to carry their sicknesses, they're

168
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: still wondering if it's my will. He doesn't honor God

169
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: to say, if it be your will, after all God

170
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: has done, after the price he paid. The way to

171
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: honor him is to say, Lord, I know you want

172
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: to heal me. March chapter one. This leper saw Jesus

173
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: walking down the road. He ran up to him, fell

174
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: at his feet, and said, Jesus, if you want to,

175
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: you can heal me. Jesus had never seen the man,

176
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: had no relationship. He could have kept walking, thought don't

177
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: bother me. Instead, he reached out in compassion, touched the man,

178
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: and said three simple words, I want to Instantly he

179
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: was healed. There are nineteen miracles Jesus performed that are

180
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: recorded in the scripture. He did many more, so many

181
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: the Scripture says they couldn't be contained in one book.

182
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: It's significant that this one was chosen to be recorded.

183
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: God wanted to make sure we understood what his will

184
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: is when it comes to healing. The man asked, if

185
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: you want to you can heal me. Jesus said, as

186
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: clear as can be, I want to. God is saying

187
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: that to you today. I want to heal you. I

188
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: want to take away the cancer. I want to free

189
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: you from the pain. I want to break the depression.

190
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: When you know he's an I want to God, you'll

191
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: pray bold prayers. You'll live out of a place of faith,

192
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: not doubt, not wondering. What's interesting is leprosy is contagious.

193
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: That man shouldn't have come to Jesus in the first place.

194
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: They were supposed to shout unclean so people would know

195
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: not to get close when he came to Jesus. Jesus

196
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: could have moved away quickly like everyone else, or he

197
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: could have healed the leper by simply speaking to him

198
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: from a distance. He healed others that way, but on purpose,

199
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: Jesus reached out and touched the leper. He broke protocol.

200
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: He went against the norm. I can imagine people thinking,

201
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: oh no, now he's going to contract leprosy. Now he's

202
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: going to get infected. God did this to show us

203
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: he will break the rules to heal you. He'll do

204
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: things out of the ordinary, things that have never been done.

205
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: He's not intimidated by what you're facing, by how bad

206
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: it looks, by how rare it is. Others may have

207
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: to stay away, but he'll come right in. He's a

208
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: very present help in times of trouble. This leper never

209
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: doubted Jesus' ability. He didn't say if you can heal me,

210
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: He said, if you want to heal me. Most of

211
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: us like him. We believe God can turn it around.

212
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: He can heal us. We don't doubt his power. We

213
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: believe he created the universe. The question we have is

214
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: does he want to This story should forever settle it.

215
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: God is saying I want to heal you, I want

216
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: to bless you, I want to free you. But sometimes

217
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: religion tells us that God puts sickness on us to

218
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: teach us something. Yes, you may learn something. God may

219
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: use the sickness, but he does not send the sickness.

220
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: He doesn't send afflictions addictions to teach you. This scripture says,

221
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: if you be in an earthly father, give good things

222
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: to your children, how much more will your heaven his

223
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: father give good things to those that I I can't

224
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: imagine one father that's in their right mind saying I'm

225
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna put this sickness on my children to teach them something,

226
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: to teach them to obey, to teach them to be grateful. No,

227
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: sickness does not come from our God. There are forces

228
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: of darkness trying to keep us from our destiny. The

229
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: good news is what the enemy put on you, God

230
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: wants to take off of you. His power is greater

231
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: than any cancer, any heart trouble, diabetes, migrains, back pain, leukemia,

232
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: those are in the process of leaving you. Right now,

233
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: every day, thank God that you're getting better. Say to

234
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: that sickness, you will not defeat me. You will not

235
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: keep me from my purpose. Greater is he that's in

236
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: me than he that's trying to stop me. A lady

237
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: told me that God put cancer on her so her

238
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: daughter wouldn't have to have it. They thought her daughter

239
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: had breast cancer, but the test came out fine. This

240
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: lady meant well. But the truth is God doesn't have

241
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: cancer to put on you. There's not any cancer up

242
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: in heaven. God's not going around saying, let me zap

243
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: this one with cancer, and zap this one with diabetes,

244
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: and zap this one with heart trouble. As long as

245
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: you think it's coming from God, you won't have the

246
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: faith to get well. You need to see every sickness,

247
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: every addiction, every pain is the work of the enemy.

248
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: Don't take possession of it. Don't say my cancer, my diabetes,

249
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: my arthritis is acting up. No, it doesn't belong to you.

250
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: It's on foreign territory. Your body is a temple of

251
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: the most high Gods. You are not a sick person

252
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: trying to get well. You are a well person fighting

253
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: off sickness. You are not an addicted person trying to

254
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: get free. You're a free person fighting an addiction. The

255
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: scripture says resist the enemy and he will flee. You

256
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: have to resist the sickness, resist the cancer, resist the

257
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: heart trouble. And I don't mean live up tight and

258
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: on edge, but don't accept it as the norm. Don't

259
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: learn to live with it. Seeing is foreign. It doesn't

260
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: belong to you. In Luke thirteen, Jesus saw a woman

261
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: that had been sick for eighteen years. She was all

262
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: bent over and not able to stand up. He said

263
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: in verse sixteen, should not this woman, being a daughter

264
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, be loosed from her sickness?

265
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: Notice where the sickness came from, whom the enemy has bound.

266
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: Jesus touched this lady after being bent over for eighteen years,

267
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: after trying many different doctors, no doubt, she thought it

268
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: was permanent. But God showed up and said, this is

269
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: your day. I'm here to take off of you what

270
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: the enemy put on you. Instantly, she too was healed.

271
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: No matter how long you've had that sickness, no matter

272
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: what you tried and didn't work out, Like this woman,

273
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: your time is coming. God is going to make things

274
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: happen that the medication couldn't make happen. He's going to

275
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: do what the treatment couldn't do. The doctors, the experts,

276
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: they did their best, But when they run out of options,

277
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: God steps in. He's supernatural. He made your body, He

278
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: breathed life into you, and what the enemy meant for

279
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: your harm, He's about to turn to your advantage. Jesus

280
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: called this woman a daughter of Abraham. That was significant.

281
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: That meant she was in covenant with God. She had

282
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: rights and privileges because of her family line. In the

283
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: same way, because you're a child of the most Time,

284
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: because you're honoring Him, God is going to make things

285
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: happen for you that may not happen for others like her.

286
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: It may not look good, it may have been a

287
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: long time. Get ready, God is about to loose you

288
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: from that sickness, loose you from the depression, loose you

289
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: from the pain. It is his will that you be free.

290
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: Now make sure you're in agreement with him. Lord, I

291
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: recognize this sickness didn't come from you. You put good

292
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: things on your children. I believe you want me to

293
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: be well. So Lord, thank you that healing is coming,

294
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: freedom is coming, Victory is coming. That's how Lakewood got started.

295
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: My sister Lisa was born with a birth injury similar

296
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: to cerebral pausing. The doctors told my parents she'd never

297
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: be able to walk, never be able to feed herself.

298
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: For the first year, she had no sucking reflexes. She

299
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: couldn't lift her head up off the ground. When my

300
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: father had been taught that sickness was God's will, that

301
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: was our cross to bead, that kind of suffering was

302
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: to keep us humble. But when he looked at his

303
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: little baby, everything in him said, this is not God's

304
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: plan for my daughter. It went against all that he

305
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: had been taught. On the inside. This battle was taking

306
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: place over what he believed. He went to a hotel downtown.

307
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: He spent the week by himself, searching the scriptures. As

308
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: he studied the life of Jesus, he saw how he

309
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: went around healing the sick again and again. He was

310
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: taught that the day of miracles is over. Yes, Jesus

311
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: did that back then, but he can't do it today.

312
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Then he read the verse in Hebrews Jesus Christ the

313
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: same yesterday, today and forever. He realized there never was

314
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: a day of miracles. There's a God of miracles, and

315
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: he's still alive. And well what happened? He made the

316
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: switch from Lord, if it be your will, to Lord,

317
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: we know it is your will. He and my mother

318
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: prayed the prayer of faith over Lisa. Not Lord, help

319
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: us to endure, help us to manage this hardship. They pray, Lord,

320
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: we believe you want to heal our daughter. We know

321
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: you're bigger than this disease. We know that you carried

322
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: this sickness that by your strife. She is healed. And

323
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: it didn't happen overnight, but little by little Lisa got

324
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: better and better. Around a year and a half, she

325
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: was able to lift her head off the ground. And today,

326
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: at seventy eight years old, Lisa is perfectly healthy and home.

327
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't resist. Have you made the switch from God?

328
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: If it be your will to God, I know it

329
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: is your will to bless me, to heal me, to

330
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 1: free me. My father had a younger sister named Mary

331
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: that lived in fort Worth. In her forties. She became very,

332
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: very sick. The doctors finally sent her home nothing more

333
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: they could do. His mother called and told him that

334
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: Mary wasn't going to make it much longer. He drove

335
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: from Houston to fort Worth and when he walked in

336
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: and saw how bad Mary was, she was lying in

337
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: a dark room, her hair was matted, unconscious. He didn't

338
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: recognize her. My father felt this holy anger rise up

339
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: on the inside. He said, very forcefully, don't tell me

340
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: God did this to my sister. He took her by

341
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: the hand and said, Mary, in the name of Jesus,

342
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: be healed. It was like somebody pulled puppet streams. Suddenly

343
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Mary sat up in the bed, opened her eyes, and

344
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: started talking to my father. That day she walked for

345
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: the first time in months. She went to the table

346
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: and fed herself for the first time in over a year.

347
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: She was able to get off all the medication perfectly well.

348
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: She told my father later, when you said, don't tell

349
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: me God did this to my sister, it was like

350
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: a bomb exploded on the inside. She had always believed

351
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: that that sickness was God's plan for her life, that

352
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: it was his will. When she found out otherwise, that

353
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: stronghold was broken. Once she made the switch, God stepped

354
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: in made her perfectly hull. Well, Joel, does everyone get healed?

355
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: Who believes? Yes? But let me explain. Some people get

356
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: healed like my mother a divine touch, where there's nothing

357
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: medically speaking the doctors could do. Other people get healed

358
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: with the medication, with the help of doctors and experts. Ultimately,

359
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: God is the healer. Medicine may help you get well,

360
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: but only God can heal. It's not God or the medicine.

361
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: It's God in the medicine. Well, my loved one prayed

362
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: and believed, but they didn't make it. They went to

363
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: heaven at an early age. The truth is they did

364
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: get healed. The moment they took their last breath, there

365
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: was no more cancer in their new body. There was

366
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: no more trouble breathing, no more pain. They were healed.

367
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: Maybe not the way you thought. It might not have

368
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: manifested here. But when God says I am the Lord,

369
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: your healer, you can rest assured healing is coming. My

370
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: mother was healed from terminal cancer at forty six years old. Today,

371
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: almost forty years later, she's still healthy and home. My father,

372
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: at seventy seven, got his healing a different way. He

373
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: went to heaven, but I can tell you he doesn't

374
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: have kidney failure now and have high blood pressure. I've

375
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: made up my mind. I'm going to die in faith.

376
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: We all face illnesses, we all have things against us.

377
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: But let's die believing that healing is coming. Not if

378
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: it be your will, But Lord, I know it is

379
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: your will that I be healthy and home. And yes,

380
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna die of something, but I don't believe we

381
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: have to go all frail, we can't see, can't move,

382
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: defeate it. When Moses was one hundred and twenty years old,

383
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: it was his time to die. God told him in

384
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy thirty three to climb to the top of Mountain Nebo.

385
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: That's where he was going to pass. Well, you would

386
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: think at one hundred and twenty Moses would be weak, frail,

387
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: knees hurt, can't see, grumpy God, I can't climb that mountain.

388
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: But Moses was still strong, still healthy, still energetic, still sharp,

389
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: good looking, still had his hair. I know, I saw

390
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: the movie. The scripture says his eye was not dim

391
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: and his strength was as strong as ever. He was

392
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: like a young man, still healthy when God took him.

393
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: Get rid of this notion that when it's your time,

394
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be frail, overcome with sickness, can't move. No

395
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: thanks God, take us like Moses, still climbing mountains, still

396
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 1: taking new ground, still making the world a better place.

397
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: I believe we can go at an old age in

398
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: our sleep, go to bed one night, strong and healthy,

399
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: wake up the next morning in heaven. I'm asking you

400
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: to make the switch from God, if it be your

401
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: will to God. I know it is your will to

402
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: heal me, to free me, to bless me, give God

403
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: something to work with. If you'll do this, I believe

404
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: and declare right now, God is loosing you from sickness,

405
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: loosen you from pain, loosen you from addictions. Healing is coming,

406
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: Freedom is coming, the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name.

407
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: If you receive it, can you say amen? Today? I'd

408
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the

409
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

410
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll

411
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. Amen. Well, if you

412
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.

413
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Get in a good Bible based church, keep God first place.

414
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: It's easy to get stuck in life because of fear

415
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: and lack of confidence. We've been through disappointments, But I'm

416
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: excited about Victoria's new book, Grace to Go. It'll help
