1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

God bless you. It's 6 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: great to be with you today, and I hope you'll 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, 8 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, social media, and you can come visit 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: us in person. We'd love to have you be a 10 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I'd like to start 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: with something funny and I heard about this pastor and 12 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: song leader that weren't getting along, and it started to 13 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: spill over into the services. One Sunday, the pastor preached 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: on the importance of being a giver. Afterwards, the song 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: leader got up and led the song Jesus paid it all. 16 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: The next week, the pastor talked about not gossiping, watching 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: your tongue. The song leader got up and led, I 18 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: love to tell the story. The pastor was so frustrated 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: he finally resigned. Told the congregation Jesus brought me here 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: and Jesus has taken me away. The song leader. Then, lad, 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: what a friend we have in Jesus. Nak say it 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, God 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 29 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: healing belongs to you. All of us have times where 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: we're dealing with an illness, or we have family of 31 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: friends that have a physical ailment from diabetes, high blood pressure, 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: chronic pain, cancer. There's a lot of sickness in our world. 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: One name that God gave himself in the scripture is 34 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: Jehovah Rapha, the Lord, our healer. God knew we would 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: face battles in our health. He knew there would be 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: times were medically speaking, there was nothing that could be done. 37 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: That's why he said, don't worry. I'm your healer. I'm 38 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: going to do what medicine cannot do. I'm going to 39 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: restore health back into you. God is not limited by 40 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: the natural He's supernatural He made your body. He knows 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: how to correct what's wrong. I don't believe those lies 42 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: that it's never going to change. Man, the treatment's not working, 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: or that heart disease has been in your family for generations. 44 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: Just learn to live with it. Now. This is a 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: new day. The Lord your Healer is at work. Restoration 46 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: is coming, freedom from chronic pain, diabetes, leaving. Illnesses that 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: look permanent are going to suddenly begin to turn around. 48 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: There's no explanation. It doesn't make sense. What happened. Jehovah 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: Rappa stepped in. The Lord your healer, Isaiah said, Jesus 50 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: carried our sicknesses and took our infirmities, and by his 51 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: stripes you were healed. Jesus took thirty nine stripes on 52 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: his back before he was crucified. Studies tell us there 53 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: are thirty nine major categories of disease. It's not a coincidence. 54 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: Jesus took one stripe for each category. He didn't leave 55 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: anything out. Well, Joel, if God wants me to endure 56 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: this sickness, then I will. You don't have to endure it. 57 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: Jesus already endured it. He already paid the price healing 58 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: belongs to you. Healing is a part of your heritage. 59 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: You need to see that sickness as temporary. It didn't 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: come to stay, it came to pass. It's on foreign territory. 61 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: It has no right to be there. You are a 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: temple of the Most High God. Now hear people say, 63 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: my arthritis is acting up, my cancer, my diabetes, my 64 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: thyroid problem. No, it doesn't belong to you. Don't take 65 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: ownership of it as law. A long as you're accepting it, 66 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: you're giving it the right to stay. And the scripture 67 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: says to resist the enemy. You need to resist the sickness, 68 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: resist the cancer. You can't be passive. Your attitude should 69 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: be cancer, you are not welcome here. Leukemia you cannot stay, 70 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: Kidney disease, this is not your home. I am God's property. 71 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: I belong to the Most High and I don't mean 72 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: to live upset where you're always in a fight mode. 73 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: But there needs to be a passion, a resilience where 74 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: you are not going to settle for sickness and disease. 75 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 1: David said in Some one O three, bless the Lord 76 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: O my soul, and forget not all of his benefits. 77 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: Who forgives all of our sins and who heals all 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: of our diseases. One of the benefits of serving God 79 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: is he heals your diseases. Many of us know God 80 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: as a savior, and that's the most important, But do 81 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: you know him as a healer. My sister Lisa was 82 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: born with a birth injury similar to cerebral paulsy. The 83 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: doctors told my parents she'd never be able to walk 84 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: or feed herself, and of course they were devastated. My 85 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: father was pastoring a church and he was taught back 86 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: then that God doesn't heal today, that he uses sickness 87 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: to teach us a lesson and you just have to 88 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: suffer through it. But when he saw his little girl 89 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: with that affliction, something rose up in him like a fire. 90 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: He went away for a few days to get along 91 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: with God. He told how he took off his denominational 92 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: glasses and he began to read the scripture like he 93 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: was reading it for the first time. He saw how 94 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Jesus went around healing sick people and curing the lepers, 95 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: causing the lame to walk, freeing them from infirmities. He 96 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: read in Hebrews thirteen, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday 97 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: today and forever. What he did in the Bible days, 98 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: he'll do today. There never was a day of miracles. 99 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 1: There's a God of miracles. He came back with my mother. 100 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: They prayed the prayer of faith over their little baby girl. 101 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: Not God, if it be your will, you can heal her, 102 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: they prayed, God, we know what your will is. We 103 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: know healing belongs to us. We know the price has 104 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: been paid for our sicknesses. So Lord, we're asking you 105 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: to heal our daughter. The scripture says, when you believe, 106 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: all things are possible. When you believe, angels go to work. 107 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: When you believe God dispatches healing. When you believe chains 108 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: are broken, miracles are set into motion. Lisa had no 109 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: muscle tone, She couldn't nurse, couldn't move her limbs. She 110 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: just laid there motionless. But at nine months old, against 111 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: all odds, she lifted her head off the mattress for 112 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: the first time. Was a small miracle, didn't seem like much, 113 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: but my parents celebrated what God was doing. They knew 114 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: Jehovah Rafa was at work. She began to move her 115 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: legs and eventually she could crawl, and the whole time 116 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: they just kept thanking God that she was healed, believing 117 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: that she would be totally normal. Little by little she 118 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: got better and better, and today you know, Lisa's perfectly 119 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: healthy at the beautiful family, a great Bible teacher. This 120 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: would have never happened if my parents had not realized 121 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,559 Speaker 1: healing belongs to us. Are there areas in your health 122 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: that you've accepted? You're always gonna have these migraines and 123 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: always have this chronic pain, diabetes authritis is my lot 124 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: in life. No, your lot in life is to be 125 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: healthy and whole. Now you need to pray the prayer 126 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: of faith, not the prayer of doubt. I don't see 127 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: how I can get well, Joel, have you seen the 128 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: medical report, not the prayer of discouragement. I've had this 129 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: so long. Everyone in my family deals with this sickness. No, 130 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: pray like you know. Healing belongs to you. Pray like 131 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: you know that God has paid the price for your sickness. 132 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Pray like you know. God is a good father and 133 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: it's his good pleasure to give you the kingdom. You 134 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: don't have to beg God, please heal me. No, the 135 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: prayer of faith is Lord, I'll receive my healing. I 136 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: know you're Jehovah Rapha, You're bigger than this sickness. I 137 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: thank you that healing, wholeness, vitality is flowing through me 138 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: right now. Then all through the day you may not 139 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: feel any different. You don't see any sign of it. 140 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: This is what faith is all about. Lord, Thank you 141 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: that I am healed. Thank you that I'm getting better 142 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: and better. You don't have to keep asking God to 143 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: heal you over and over. Believe that you received it 144 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: when you prayed, and just keep thanking Him that you're healed. 145 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: Luke Chapter thirteen, Jesus saw a woman that had been 146 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: sick for eighteen years. She was bent over and not 147 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: able to stand up. He said in verse sixteen, should 148 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan 149 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: has bound, be loosed from this sickness? Notice where the 150 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: sickness came from, whom the enemy has bound. You have 151 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: to be very clear. The sickness is not from God. 152 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: It's the work of the enemy. The good news is 153 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: God came to take off of you what the enemy 154 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: put on you. He came to free you from what's 155 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: bound you. The scripture says nothing can snatch you out 156 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: of God's hand. No sickness, no addiction, no depression. The 157 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: forces that are for you are greater than any force 158 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: that's coming against you. But you can't believe, like my 159 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: father was taught, that God's putting that sickness on you 160 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: to teach you something. You just need to suffer through it. 161 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: A lady told me how she was glad that God 162 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: gave her cancer so her daughter wouldn't have to have it. 163 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: Now I understand what she meant. We'd take anything to 164 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: not have our children deal with it. But her premise 165 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: was wrong. God wasn't the one giving her the cancer. 166 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: The truth is God doesn't have any cancer to give. 167 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: There's no cancer up in heaven. God is not on 168 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: the throne saying, let me zap this one with cancer 169 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: and zap her with migrains and zap him with kidney disease. 170 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: That's the wrong concept of God. He's the Lord, your healer, 171 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: not the Lord who makes you sick. He came to 172 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: destroy the works of the enemy. This woman had been 173 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: sick for eighteen years. You can imagine how she'd tried 174 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: different treatments, different medicines, different doctors, but nothing at work. 175 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: Now she had accepted that she'd always be bent over. 176 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: Jesus showed up and said, woman, you are healed from 177 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: your sickness. He touched her and immediately she stood up straight. 178 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: There are only so many miracles recorded in the scripture. 179 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: Jesus did many more than we read about. I believe 180 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: one reason this was chosen was because the lady had 181 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: been sick for eighteen years. God was showing us no 182 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: matter how long you've been dealing with an illness, no 183 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: matter how many times you tried to get well, taking 184 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: the treatment, nothing has improved. Your time is coming. The Lord, 185 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: your healer, has not forgotten about you. He has seen 186 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: the pain, the heartache, the lonely nights. That is not 187 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: how your story ends. God is going to make things 188 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: happen that the medicine couldn't make happen. He's going to 189 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: do what the treatment couldn't do. The experts may have 190 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: run out of options, they've come to the end of 191 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: their ability, but God has not run out the options. 192 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be natural. It's gonna be supernatural. It's 193 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: gonna defy the odds. Now, stay in this attitude of faith. 194 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Healing belongs to me. It's flowing through my body. Right now, 195 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm getting healthier, stronger, more energetic, with long life. God 196 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: will satisfy me. When you know something belongs to you, 197 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: it's a different mindset. You expect it, you believe it 198 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: will happen. You talk like it's on the way. You 199 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: take steps to see it come to pass. When our 200 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: children were growing up, they'd come home from school, first 201 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: thing they would do is go to the refrigerator to 202 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: get something to eat. They never asked me, Dad, would 203 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: it be okay if I got some juice? He said, 204 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: all right, for me to make a sandwich. They didn't 205 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: think twice. They acted like they owned the place they 206 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: knew as my child that belonged to them. God is 207 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: saying to you, you and my child, healing belongs to you. 208 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Come on to the refrigerator, Believe for your healing, Believe 209 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: for wholeness. Expect things to change in your favor because 210 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: of who your father is. Jesus called this woman a 211 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: daughter of Abraham. That was significant. She wasn't just any 212 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: random person. She was a part of the covenant that 213 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: God made with Abraham. That meant she had rights and 214 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: privileges because of her family line. If Jesus were here today, 215 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: he would say this about you. Should not Susan being 216 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: my daughter, should not Jose, should not Bill being my sons, 217 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: be loose from this infirmity. Because you're his child. God 218 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: is going to make things happen for you that may 219 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: not happen for others like this woman may have been 220 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: a long time. Get ready, God's about to Lucia from 221 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: the sickness and Lucia from the cancer, ship from the depression. 222 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: Things are about to turn in your favor. Healing is coming, 223 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: freedom is coming, Victory is coming. I met a man 224 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: that traveled to Houston several times a year for treatment. 225 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: He has this incurable disease and the only way he 226 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: could stay alive was to take the treatment. He'd been 227 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: doing it for six years, and I'd see him in 228 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: the lobby after the service. Never complained, always had a 229 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: good attitude, but he believed that sickness was meant to 230 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: be for his life and he was supposed to just 231 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: endure it and live with it the best that he could. 232 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: He'd never been taught that God was a healer, that 233 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: he can restore health back into us, and how we 234 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: need to believe for our healing. He heard me talking 235 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: about this, and he changed his approach. Every day he 236 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: started declaring, Father, thank you that I'm healed, thank you 237 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: that I will live and not die. Every time he 238 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: said that, thoughts whispered. You're wasting your time. You heard 239 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: the experts. You can't get well. You know this is 240 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: an incurable disease. The real battle takes place in our mind. 241 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: The enemy will try to convince you it's been too long, 242 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: the sickness is too bad. Just settle where you are, 243 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: tune all that out, and get in agreement with God. Father. 244 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: I know healing belongs to me. I'm not moved by 245 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: what I see. I'm moved by what I know. You're 246 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: Jehovah Rafa, the Lord, my healer. Two years later, he 247 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: came back for his routine treatment like he had been 248 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: doing for eight years. His main doctor called him in. 249 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: It's one of the leading cancer specialists in the world, 250 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: he said, in all my years of practice, I have 251 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: never seen this. But this disease that's known to be 252 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: incurable is slowly fading away, and you don't need to 253 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 1: take this treatment anymore. When God says I'm gonna lose 254 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: you from that sickness, he doesn't check to see if 255 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: it's incurable, if it's too big, if you've had it 256 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: too long, not possible. He controls the universe. One touch 257 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: of his favor and you're free, You're healthy, your whole 258 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: one Peter three. The message translation says, God has the 259 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: last word on everything and everyone. You may be facing 260 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: an illness, it's been that way a long time. The 261 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: medical report says you're not going to improve. That's one word. 262 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: But God has the last word. He said he's restoring 263 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: health back into you. He said, the number of your 264 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: days he will fulfill. When thoughts tell you that you're 265 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: never going to get well, just say no, thanks. I 266 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: know a secret. God has the final word. Sickness may 267 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: have a word, depression may have a word addictions, but 268 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: always remember it's not the last word. The final word 269 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: comes from the God who created the universe, the God 270 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: who flung stars into space, the God who parts red seas, 271 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: the God who shuts the mouths of lions, the God 272 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: who breathe life into you, the God who knew you 273 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: before you were formed in your mother's wounds. The final 274 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: word goes to Jehovah Rafhah, the Lord's your healer. When 275 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: you're facing an illness or any kind of challenge, it's 276 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: important to make the promise bigger than the problem. Once 277 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: you dwell on, you're going to magnify. If all you 278 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: think about is the sickness and the negative medical report, 279 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: you go call three friends and talk to them about it, 280 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: and you google it and look up all your symptoms. 281 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: You'll find forty seven reasons why you're not gonna make 282 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: it to Friday. That'll depress you quicker than listening to 283 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: a country western song. Don't let the enemy plant all 284 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: that doubt and discouragement in your mind. And you read 285 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: something negative about your health. All of a sudden, your 286 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: back starts to hurt. Just like it said, you feel 287 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: a little bit weaker. There's something called the power of suggestion. 288 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: It's just a little thought, but if you dwell on it, 289 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: it gets bigger and bigger. It can become a reality. 290 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: These coworkers decided to play a trick on their friend, 291 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: and he came to work one morning feeling great, happy 292 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: as can be. The receptionist said to him, are you 293 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: feeling okay today? He said, yeah, I feel great. Why, 294 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: she said, I don't know. You just look a little pale, 295 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Just to see the doubt when to his office. Ten 296 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: minutes later, a co worker came in. Are you extra 297 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: tired today? You don't look up to par He said, no, no, 298 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: I feel fine. A few minutes he started thinking, maybe 299 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm a little tired. Another man came by. You don't 300 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: have a fever, do you seems like you're perspiring. The 301 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: guy started to loosen his tie and said, yeah, I 302 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: am getting kind of hot and sat down. So this 303 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of feeling dizzy. Another man stop by. You 304 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: look terrible today. What's wrong with you? By ten o'clock 305 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: in the morning, he'd gone home sick. There's power in 306 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: what you're feeding yourselves. You have to be careful what 307 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: you're taking in. Don't dwell on the medical report. Don't 308 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: go research it and find all the people that have 309 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: not made it, all the possible negative outcomes. You don't 310 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: need that in your spirit. That's gonna talk you into 311 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: being weak sick. It's never gonna change. I'm so tired. 312 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: Quit feeding on junk food and start feeding on faith food. 313 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: Make the promise bigger, not the problem. All through the day, 314 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm getting better. Healing is flowing through me. I'm strong, 315 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm energetic. I will run and not be weary. That's 316 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: gonna cause you to get stronger and help you to 317 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: believe for healing and expect the goodness and favor of God. See, 318 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: you only have so much room in your mind each day. 319 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: If you're always dwelling on the negative, what's wrong, How 320 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: it's not going to work out. That's taking up all 321 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: the space in your thinking. It's occupying all the real estate. 322 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: You don't have any room for faith and hope to 323 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: believe that God's working. Be selective in what you allow in. 324 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: Jesus told the man that he was going to go 325 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: to his house and pray for his little girl that 326 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: was very, very sick. But Jesus got delayed. Eventually, the 327 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: man sent his assistance and said to the disciples, tell 328 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: Jesus he doesn't need to come anymore. It's too late. 329 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: My little girl has died. The scripture says Jesus overhearing 330 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: but ignoring. He heard the negative report. He heard the 331 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: little girl had died, but he didn't dwell on it. 332 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: He didn't say, oh, man, I waited too long. I 333 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: missed it this time. He didn't pay it any attention. 334 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: He wasn't going to let that doubt and negativity get 335 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,959 Speaker 1: in his spirit. When you're believing for your healing and 336 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: believing for the promises, you have to get good at 337 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: hearing but ignoring, because there's going to be plenty of 338 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: negative reports, plenty of naysayers. You have that kind of cancer, man, 339 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: that's what my cousin died of. Good luck. Let that 340 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: go in one ear and out the other. They don't 341 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: determine your destiny. Ignore it. Sometimes it's our own thoughts 342 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: that tell us you're not going to get well, you'll 343 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: never meet the right person, you'll never break this addiction. 344 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: You can't stop that from coming. But you don't have 345 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: to dwell on it. Let it be a reminder to 346 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: thank God that he's working. You have to protect your mind, 347 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: be selective what you dwell on, and be selective who 348 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: you spend time with. When you're fighting a battle, you 349 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: don't need to be around negative defeated it can't do 350 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: it never going to happen. People, get away from the 351 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: doubters that's going to talk you out of it. There 352 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: are two types of people. There are dream stealers, people 353 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: that will tell you all the reasons it's not going 354 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: to work out, and there are dream releasers, people that 355 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: will encourage you and believe with you and build your 356 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: faith up and not tear it down. And that's why 357 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: so many people listen to our services, because I'm going 358 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: to tell you that you can get well, that healing 359 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: belongs to you, that the sickness is not the end, 360 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: that God has the final saying that when you believe, 361 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: all things are possible. That's how you make the promise 362 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: bigger than the problem. Surround yourself with the right people 363 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: and be selected what you're dwelling on. If you're discouraged, doubting, 364 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 1: thinking is never going to happen, I can tell you 365 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: you're magnifying the problem. As long as you're focused on that, 366 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: you're going to be down. You'll be amazed at what 367 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: will happen if you'll start magnifying the promise, start dwelling 368 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: on the fact that God is your healer, He's fighting 369 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: your battles, that no weapon formed against you will prosper. 370 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: That what He started in your life, he will finish. 371 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: When my mother was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer back 372 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty one and given a few weeks to live, 373 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: she told how in the middle of the night, thoughts 374 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: would come saying you can be buried in that new 375 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: red dress that you bought. The enemy loves to whisper 376 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: things to try to get your imagining the worst, seeing 377 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: yourself defeated and going down. My mother had a choice. 378 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: She could have dwelt on those thoughts and let them 379 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: create a negative image. But she did what we all 380 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: have to do. The scripture says, cast down wrong imaginations. 381 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: You decide what's playing on the movie screen of your 382 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: You can't let those negative images play. My mother put 383 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: up pictures all over the house from a time when 384 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: she was healthy, her wedding pictures, out riding a horse, 385 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: traveling with my father, working in the garden. Instead of 386 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: letting that negative image take root being buried in the 387 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: red dress, she saw herself healthy, energetic, traveling, laughing, enjoying 388 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: her family. By the grace of God, forty three years later, 389 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: she's still healthy and hope. There's no medical explanation. The 390 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: expert said she couldn't get well. Her main doctor he's passed. 391 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: But my mother's ninety years young, still going strong. God 392 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: has the final say. He can do what medicine cannot do. 393 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: I received a phone call from a woman on My 394 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: Serious XM program. One of her family members is going 395 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: through a health challenging he's lost his ability to walk 396 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: and to function normally. They heard me telling about my 397 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: mother's battle with cancer and how she had to overcome 398 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: those thoughts of being buried in a red dress. This 399 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: lady told how her family is dealing with these discouraging 400 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: thoughts and how it's so easy to start envisioning all 401 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: the negative and playing out the worst case scenarios when 402 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: they start to get discouraged and go down the wrong path. 403 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: She said, we came up with the phrase that we 404 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: say to each other, no red dresses. That reminds them 405 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to dwell on the negative. All through 406 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: the day, different family members will look at each other, 407 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: no red dresses. They're protecting their mind. They're not allowing 408 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: the wrong imagination to play. When the enemy tells you 409 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 1: that it's not going to work out, how you'll never 410 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: beat the cancer, never be free from the pain, never 411 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: get off a dialysis. Just smile and say, no red dresses. 412 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm not going there. Friends, God has you in the 413 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: palm of his hand. You may have things coming against 414 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: you and your health, but you have to know beyond 415 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: a shadow of a doubt, healing belongs to you. The 416 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: price has been paid as a child of the Most High. 417 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: That's one of your benefits. Now clear out all the doubt, 418 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: the discouragement, get away from the dream stealers, and get 419 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: in agreement with God. Start making the promise bigger than 420 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: the problem. Like that woman that has been over for 421 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: eighteen years. You may have struggled with an illness for 422 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: a long time, but this is a new day. You're 423 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: about to walk into divine healing where there's no explanation, 424 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. It's Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer. 425 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: Now believe and declare. God is loosing you from every 426 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: sickness right now, loosing you from cancer, chronic pain, generational illnesses. 427 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: Healing is coming, wholeness, strength, vitality, a long healthy life 428 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can you 429 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: say amen, I'd like to give you an opportunity to 430 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray 431 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. 432 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I make you my lord and savior. 433 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer. We believe you got 434 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 1: born again.
