A Weapon to Remove Those Lingering Symptoms... | Mike Hoesch

hey good morning everyone this is mike hesh with healing journeys today and i just want to remind you of a event that we have coming up in may so you can plan to be there it is may 21st and 22nd it is in phoenix arizona it is a free event uh you will need to register for that event um there is a limited amount of seating so we would like for you to uh to register and uh but uh it's a great facility it'll be a good time of uh we'll have worship and uh just awesome time to uh edify one another through the word of god and hear testimonies revelations uh just it's going to be a good time so i encourage you to come and hey i'd love to meet you it'd be a good time to you know put a face with a comment that i've been getting so thank you again also i just want to say thank you i i do appreciate uh that you spend your time uh with me on this thursday morning and i understand we both benefit from it because we're hearing the word of god and it's being sewn into our minds and hearts and every time i minister these for these streams i'm believing with you that you're going to receive truth and why is that so important because jesus said you would know the truth and the truth would make you free amen so let's just jump right into it i have a good word today also a testimony i think it will help illustrate what i want to share today i believe i titled it um a weapon to remove lingering symptoms you know um in my testimony last week uh in our live stream last week i uh talked about how uh how once i once my heart shifted and i believed what the truth said it produced a response in me that rejected the lie of the enemy and i knew in that moment that i was free from sickness and disease that i was totally healed and i felt that way but not in the sense of like my five senses but in the sense like you feel something deep inside that you know it's done it's accomplished i put the link to that teaching in the description below and i encourage you to check that out if you have not watched that because i'm kind of uh what i'm going to share today is expanding on those points and but you know it's a standalone topic as well so um i wanted to relate that to you because so many times we have these lingering symptoms after we have believed you know think about it the revelation i had and shared last week was i thought i was believing but when i saw in the word that it says that uh you know if you believe you have received i realized since i had not received that i really hadn't believed and although i could have been condemned i saw that as a truth and that truth made me free it encouraged my heart to continue on seeking or looking to what my father was trying to tell me all along to lead me to that place where those symptoms in my body even though i was healed by the stripes of jesus those lingering symptoms that were holding me back and oppressing me that i could have been free of those two and that's what my father led me to understand through his word and that moment of transition came really as an exercise of the knowledge that i had received the revelation that i received but it was an exercise of authority of power using the weapon that god had given to me and the moment i exercised that i was separated from the oppression of the devil and what happened as a result of that i my i was healed i was totally healed i felt like i was healed but i still had all the symptoms so this was on this is the awesome point was that now i also became disconnected from the lingering symptoms in other words i knew in my heart that they were not mine anymore and as i said last week and i encourage you to watch that that i began to live as the healed person i was in christ jesus okay so that brings me to one of my favorite verses in the whole bible this was a this was a not just a game changer for me because i don't see life as a game uh this was a this was a life-changing revelation to my heart that really freed me to walk in power and authority that i had been given through salvation uh through the finished work of jesus christ and uh so turn with me if you will if you want to uh to acts 10 38. we've talked a lot about this and the reason i do is because i'm going to read that scripture next is because for this purpose it says jesus came and let's read this it's very good you know uh what i think is interesting too is peter he meets these gentiles for the first time and he he could have shared anything he wanted with those people but the spirit led him to communicate what we're about to read and to me that is so significant you don't have to be in church for 20 years before this message can come alive to your heart see that's what happened to me i was in church well my whole life really more than 20 years and this message never came alive to my heart but that's not our father's heart he's always bringing this message in fact these gentiles who peter went to this is the first thing that he shared with them i think that's significant in verse 38 it says he's talking about how i'll read verse 36 the word which god sent unto the children of israel preaching peace by jesus christ he is lord of all that that word i say you know which was published throughout all judea and began from galilee after the baptism which john preached and this was the message how god anointed jesus of nazareth with the holy ghost and with power wow let's not read over that the holy ghost and power and it says who went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil for god was with him let me ask you are you part of all see it's easy to read over that word and just look back to the people that jesus that we have testimony of jesus healing and delivering but wow this is so much more than that this includes me so how does it include me and you it includes us that by understanding that jesus took care of the spiritual oppression that was hindering people from walking in health or you could even say this it was delivering them from their oppressing symptoms so that they could be free to walk in health you know turn with me to um let's see first john 1st john chapter 3. this is this really making the same point in first john 3 i'm going to read into it a little bit it says verse 7 little children let no man deceive you he that doeth righteousness is righteous even as he is righteous he that committeth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning now listen this is the point the devil sinneth from the beginning now listen to his next statement he says for this purpose the son of god was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil while you put this together with acts 10 38 what was a work of the devil what was the devil destroying in man his physical health he was uh killing people through sickness and disease and jesus was manifested for this purpose to stop that to destroy that to undo that word in um if you look it up that word destroy uh there means to undo to loose to break down that's pretty powerful that's what jesus came to do so when jesus think about it if you just and we've had this discussion many times before i love it but if you just go out and pull a weed in your yard or mow it over you won't see the weed anymore but have you removed the weed no you have to pull it up by the root and then you won't see it ever again okay now that's what jesus recognized was necessary to completely remove sickness and disease was he dealt with it at the root the spiritual root and how did he do that he had power what kind of power did he have well just like you and me god gave him weapons that were spiritual they had more power than the power that the enemy has go with me you know we possess that same power jesus has given that to us just so don't isolate yourself from acts 10 38 and say well that was jesus you know he was anointed by the holy ghost and and he was the son of god well who are you you're a child of the most high god you're a child of the same father that jesus was a child of amen the difference being though jesus was born physically through the father he was the only begotten of the father where we are born through the spirit through the finished work of jesus christ and we become children or as it says in in romans 8 we're adopted into the family as children not just adopted people but were were his children amen where did i say to go let's see um luke 10 luke chapter 10. so luke chapter 10. this is this is an awesome uh verse here i'm going to read a few because this is important you know jesus had sent out the 12 at uh first he and uh talks about this in uh in in luke 9 and also in matthew chapter 10. you can go there and read that but you know uh jesus said that hey uh the harvest is ready but the laborers are few and he said let's pray that the father would send laborers into his harvest and then the very next phrase or the very next verse we see god putting that on jesus's heart and he commissions laborers 12 of them his disciples to go into that harvest and to begin uh you know you know harvesting or reaping is the word i was looking for and so but after that jesus sent more he sent uh 70 more disciples into that same harvest and listened to their testimony when they returned here i'm in luke chapter 10 beginning in verse 17. it says in the seventy returned again with joy saying lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name and he said unto them i beheld satan as lightning fall from heaven and this is important listen behold i give unto you i'm going to say that to you behold jesus gives unto you you're a you this verse is talking to you because you're a you it says behold i give unto you power power that's what god gave jesus in acts 10 38 he anointed him with the holy ghost and power he's given that to you it says to empower to do what awesome question power to do what i heard you power to do what power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all not some over all the power of the enemy why so nothing by any means should cause you an injustice or hurt you notwithstanding jesus said in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you and me but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven you know it's because we are intimately eternally connected to the father that this power can work that this power has a place in our lives boy that's that's man we should all be jumping up and down about that that is awesome that means we're not victims anymore okay we're not victims we have power over all the power of the enemy that is more than awesome that is wow that is wow i like that so think about this for a second uh and i'm going to get to an important testimony but i want to lay this foundation first so important so notice god gave this power to jesus christ and it was in the spirit that this power was contained now jesus said that he gave this same power not only to the 12 but to the 70. and the 70 rejoiced and they saw that wow the devils even obey us notice the devils even obey us and if you read in uh earlier in chapter 10 that uh of of matthew there was all sorts of healing that took place so what are the disciples here saying look we cast out devils and the symptoms left we laid hands on the sick and they recovered because the devils left they cast out the oppressing spirit through laying on of hands now many of them weren't focused on like devil the name of jesus get out of him just like jesus jesus wasn't saying in the name of jehovah get out of them no let's take for example the woman with an issue of blood the power that was in jesus he didn't even know that she touched him in the sense uh that you know he was waiting for her to touch her so that he could release it no the draw came through her belief jesus said woman go in peace your faith has made you whole she was the one that drew that power now what happened when that power came into her it cast out the oppressor that was causing her to have an issue of blood and the issue of blood the whole nine yards left it was gone out of her but why because she believed and she didn't know all the details she didn't know everything about it she just her faith made the draw on the power and what happened as a result she was set free she as i shared last week she felt healed in her body and that word felt as i talked about last week she knew it's the same word she knew just like you uh no uh your name or just like you know uh you know like a man knows a woman or you know in the same way it's an intimate connection that's undeniable to your heart amen this is awesome so now think about this we have this power and these 12 i mean these 70 came back and they're rejoicing and jesus said you have power to tread on serpents and scorpions does that mean we can go out and step on snakes and not be hurt well that's true in fact i have a testimony about stepping on a rattler and it couldn't it couldn't even bite me that's the power that i had although i wasn't even aware it was there what about scorpions you know i used to live in tucson arizona and all the time i worked outdoors uh all the time you'd see these scorpions or uh you know you'd open up a wall that you're working on and there would be a you know scorpions in there you know so and never did i get bit at all ever now is he talking about physical snakes and physical scorpions not really in fact what he's talking about is the serpent and that serpent is the devil and the devil only produces after his own kind and that's what all the evil spirits are that follow him they're serpents and their scorpions just like it's described in revelation and the sting that they have the bite that they have is poisonous and it creates pain in your life physical and spiritual emotional mental it has the whole nine yards but jesus used these terms symbolically to to reveal to them that they had power over anything that could cause them harm or an injustice that's an awesome thing to know and he gave that to you he gave that to me and all we need to do is live and exercise in that do you know i'm going to get to this point in a moment but the spirit will lead us and guide us in the use of that and that's where it's effective notice this and he said and over all the power of the enemy it's not at addition too what he's saying is he's like summarizing serpents and scorpions and saying yes over all the power of the enemies those are two enemies don't you consider a poisonous serpent your enemy well if you don't you should they're not nothing to be a friend of they're they're they're corrupted uh uh in the creation by the by the fall of man and they are there to harm us they not there to benefit us if a snake bites you are you gonna uh feel better no you're not going to feel better at all if the scorpion bites you or you're going to start rejoicing and have a party no you're going to be hurt big time so the point he's making and the point i want to emphasize for us is we have the same power of acts 10 38 that jesus had he gave to us okay and what's the purpose of that power to destroy the works of the devil we don't want any work of the devil in our life none whatsoever sickness and disease is a work of the devil okay just stop for a moment in case you might be uh case you were raised in some of the churches that i have was raised in and uh and visited after uh for many years they call sickness and disease uh god's instruction or correction folks that is wrong it there's not there's no life in sickness and disease it's death and the bible calls uh in hebrews it says that the devil is the one with the power of death so to attribute sickness or disease to god is to call god the devil you'd never do that i know you wouldn't and when that finally clicked in my small little brain up here i realized wow i didn't understand much more but i knew gosh sickness and disease is not from god because it hinders life it doesn't release life amen so there we have an opponent and he's called an enemy and we have power but how do you exercise this power how do you use this power go with me to second corinthians chapter 10. in second corinthians chapter 10 this is these these verses are very powerful it says i'm going to start in verse 3 of chapter let's see what is it chapter 10 second corinthians 10 verse 3 it says for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh in the testimony i'm about to share i'm going to bring out this point you know when you get a physical symptom that hangs on like me when i start when i first got sick um in the year 2000 when i first got sick and i prayed and rebuked and commanded and did everything i was supposed to do and nothing happened what did i do well i started dealing with sickness and disease after the flesh and just like it says right here though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh and why don't we war after the flesh because jesus said the flesh profits nothing and it says that when we use the things of the carnal the spiritual i mean the carnal fleshly weapons it says they are not subject to the law of god neither can they be okay so in other words there's no way to use the power that we have been given in christ if we're trying to do it after the flesh it we're just gonna end up opposing ourselves and becoming very frustrated yes that's a testimony i was so frustrated trying to get healed trying to get delivered trying everything i heard and read and studied and but to no success but we're going to hear the good part of that so god gave us listen to what it says for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal they're not in the flesh but they are mighty through god to pull down strongholds and what is a stronghold it's a stronghold is something that has a strong hold on you or something that you have a strong hold on see sickness and disease once it's been in our life for a while can we can actually be holding on to that because we're focused on it so much we can't hear the truth to set us free that we are so focused on getting rid of it that we are totally in the flesh and we're not able to hear the spirit we're not able to rest so not only is does the sickness have a disease on us or that i mean a hold on us but now the thoughts that the enemy has spoken to us we now have a strong hold on the disease itself because our mind is locked in on it notice what it says here the weapons of our warfare are not in the flesh they're not carnal but they're mighty through god to pull down strongholds casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of god and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ folks do you realize that if we were to do that verse five if we were to live that every day every moment of every day we would not be needing uh the weapons to recover ourselves out of the snare of the devil because by recognizing the thoughts and addressing the thoughts and bringing them in obedience to the word which is a weapon god gave us he gave us that ability through the spirit the power to recognize thoughts that are not of him because the spirit is leading and guiding us to truth continually and as we yield to the spirit in our daily life a major weapon he's given to us that weapon will cause us to hear and then we use that weapon to do what to tear down that stronghold do you know god is only in ephesians chapter 6 it talks about let's go there in ephesians chapter 6 this is an awesome point you might say boy everything he says is an awesome point well i think god's word is awesome and i don't think there's any point in it that isn't awesome so in chapter 6 it says uh verse 10 notice what it says here finally my brethren be strong in your own strength and in the power of your own flesh is that what your bible says no mine doesn't say that either mine says this finally brethren be strong in the lord and in the power of his might see that's the power we've been given that will cause us to triumph over every weapon device of the enemy that's what god has given us listen to this put on the whole armor of god that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil for we don't wrestle against principalities but oh wait we we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness that's what we that's what our challenge is not flesh and blood not the symptom in your body okay that is a fruit of the enemy that's oppressing you it's not your physical body that's the problem it's the oppressor behind the physical symptoms that you're experiencing you remove that oppression and there'll be no strength or life or whatever you want to call it for that sickness or disease to remain it will be separated from your life now the point i wanted to make was these weapons that god gave us there's really only one offensive weapon in all of this and that is in verse i'll read 16-17 he says above all taking the shield of faith where which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of god so let's put this all together so far so we have uh we have weapons it says that are not carnal they are not of the flesh but they're mighty through god and they pull down these strongholds okay jesus said he gave us power over all the power of the enemy where nothing nothing not even one thing uh can cause us and unjust can cause us an injustice without us allowing it okay and then it tells us then it tells us that we were given these this power or these weapons to destroy the works of the devil okay now all of these weapons all of this power that we have is activated through one thing uh in second peter chapter one he tells us that we become partakers of the divine nature through the knowledge of the word of god so if you don't understand the authority the power the privileges that god has given us in christ then you're going to be suffering unduly the enemy's attacks in other words you're going to feel like a victim you're going to be praying to god you're going to be begging god you're going to be trying to do everything to be free from your challenge but you will remain unaffected because i mean unchanged because god is sending his word to heal you and deliver you from your destructions see it's that revelation of the word the knowing of the truth that makes you free now this is the testimony i wanted to share it's it's awesome it's a great testimony okay uh a few weeks ago probably i don't know four weeks ago uh my wife caroline uh was you know she said man my you know um my leg is bothering me a little bit and uh i said you know what do you think she says i don't know maybe i strained it in one of my workouts or something so she and she said you know nothing it's going to go away she said no problem and i said okay so we went hiking one day uh we like to hike a lot so we were hiking out one day and she stopped and she said uh she was i heard her talking to her knee i said what's going on she goes uh man my knees uh my knee just like hurt all of a sudden and so she said i just you know i was just telling that pain to get out so anyway she walked on and i think it happened one more time on that walk and uh and then we came back and and you know she never mentioned it again uh after that uh to me so i thought it was no problem but she came to me about a week later and she said you know mike she said uh something is bothering my leg she said when i sit down i'm fine but if i try and get up or stand up it's it's really hurts and uh she said uh you know i just like to be free from it and you know i paused for a moment uh you know seeking the lord's direction and and you know just one thought came into my mind and i told her i said you know caroline i want you to remember the word says that all things are possible to the one that believes and so i prayed over her and i i as i you know felt led i commanded the uh the pain to leave her body uh to get out of her leg and to not return and i just let it go and uh she said okay and walked away well that was like um you know on a monday or tuesday and then uh you know later in the week i noticed that uh you know i she dropped something on the kitchen floor and she just stood there and looked at it and i said aren't you going to pick it up she says no i'm not going to pick it up and i'm like why she goes because it's too hard to get up and i thought well that shouldn't be and uh so i just picked it up and i and i just let it go because i'm you know i realized that uh you know she like me uh has to make decisions and she's got to choose for herself to walk in the power and authority that god has given her so i give her space to do that i don't tell her what to do i encourage her i reminded her that that's not part of her anymore and so anyway uh we were invited to uh meet up with a friend you know it's about an hour away and we drove to meet them and and i noticed that uh getting into the car she was like very cautious like uh and very deliberate in every motion as she sat down in the car and then we sat in the car for an hour and we got to our destination and we were meeting a friend for dinner down there and so she gets out in the same way very delicately and uh you know and then she we get into the restaurant and you know where we ran into some other people that my friend knew and we chatted there for a few minutes and then she you know she's going up to the table and she's kind of like uh she's not walking normally i can tell that she's favoring her leg and i'm thinking you know father i just thank you for encouraging and strengthening her to resist that and so um so we we sat there you know a couple hours we had dinner and fellowship and uh so so uh my buddy gets up and we're you know we getting ready to leave and she's still sitting there and i'm like walking away from the table thinking she's right behind me and she's not uh she's still sitting at the table and i come back and i say to her i said uh hey let's go what's what's up she says i just need a minute and then she stands up and she like cannot stand on that leg and uh so so i uh give her my arm and she's walking out and i tell her i said caroline this cannot stay this is not part of you and she says i know it's not part of me well as she was uh as she was walking while hobbling out i think if she had crutches she would have been using them but uh she said uh you know she got in the back seat of the car because you know we were taking our friend back to his place and uh wow she was like she could hardly get in and i could tell on her face that she was in in excruciating pain and uh so she sat down and we went to my friends and he invited us in and we were initially gonna hang out for a while and uh but then you know i just didn't have a witness i thought we should go back and caroline said the same thing she said yeah let's just go back so she got into the front seat same kind of thing just just grimacing in pain and and i could see that she was kind of like shaking and i thought because it was cold that night i thought maybe she just caught a chill being outside and but as we're driving home this is a point i want to share with you one of them is as we're driving home i have this inside of me that is starting to stir stir and it's a uh it starts out with just like an irritation you know like man devil you you're you know you can't do that to my wife well it's an hour drive and by time we got home i was indignant against what the devil was doing in fact the spirit of god was stirring me that whole time and not telling me what to do but reminding me and encouraging me of the power and the authority and the weapon that god had given me to defeat just such an attack okay so we you know i helped her inside uh you know we got up the stairs into our place and and uh you know i told her to sit down and she's just she's in so much pain that she's like shaking you know and uh so i told her to sit down i said this is this is going tonight it's not going to stay another second so uh in jesus name i just prayed as i was directed and i i released that power from luke 10 19 and i exercised that power that i was given by god for just such circumstances and i told that to get out of her leg to leave to never come back okay and i told her let's go to bed it was late you know so i said let's go to bed so we went to bed and she said you know and she hobbled to her room there was no uh you know immediate change or nothing but i knew that it was over just like i shared last week i knew that it was over i didn't know when she would receive it but i knew that that devil could not stay in my house okay i'm the head over this house god god appointed me that it's not something that i chose it's something god appointed me as and i was not going to allow that enemy to reign in our household so the next morning she woke up and she said it was like 50 percent better and i'm like of course and it's not going to go the other direction ever again and so by we went hiking on uh sunday sunday afternoon we went for a hike and uh so it completely left her gone now i want to back up and explain something here what happened because it's easy to just share that testimony and then everybody goes wow will you pray for me hey i did the same thing you know but that's not the answer see the spirit of god directed me and he didn't direct me in the beginning he directed me after she had it for a while okay there was something there's a few things that occurred that i want to point out and if she was here today she would be uh telling you the exact same story and uh because we talked about it you know i like to learn like i asked her all about it when did the change came what were you thinking in your heart you know what did what was the lord talking to you about all these things because i wanted to understand not just for her benefit but for my benefit and also to be able to help others that's why i'm teaching on this today because i think it'll help all of us so we uh you know we went hiking on uh sunday she didn't have a single problem so here's here's what i want to share that connects kind of all these dots together it's a bit you know very important see when she first came to me uh it was easy for both of us to think that you know she had strained it that she had been working out and she had strained it okay but i asked her afterwards you know after everything had happened and she was back to normal uh i asked her about that and she said you know i've thought about that and i i don't know of anything that i did physically to cause that she said she couldn't think of anything she asked the lord to show her nothing came to her mind so here was here's how the enemy takes opportunity he starts with just a little pain a little discomfort maybe it started in her knee that day and then she maybe favored it or whatever and uh but so the enemy starts with one little thing and then we just give in to it what did she do she did nothing about it you know she said that pain just gradually increased over a couple of weeks and i i said what'd you do about it she said nothing i thought it would just go away i thought i had strained it or something even though i couldn't put my finger on any particular moment and see that's what we do oftentimes we allow something to remain in us because of like what i talked about earlier we become insensitive to the leading of the spirit of god because our minds occupied with other things we're not capturing every thought and bringing it into the obedience of christ okay and that's something we need to be diligent about doing both carolina and i help each other all the time you know we'll say something and we'll say hey where'd that thought come from and we're like yeah that wasn't from god and so we help each other and you can help yourself if if you don't have someone living with you or that you fellowship regularly with put up a note card you know or put it on the screen of your phone whenever you open your phone have that in the background a picture that says capture every thought bring it into obedience so that was the first thing she had not brought those thoughts into captivity about it and uh she wasn't listening to what the spirit was telling her about it she just thought she'd manage it on her own okay we all do that i describe myself that's what i did when i you know prayed and nothing happened i said well i'll get it from here dad no problem it was a big problem i ca you cannot destroy spiritual weapons with physical weapons it ne it's always i'll save you a lot of time it's always unfor unsuccessful 100 of the time the flesh will fail 100 of the time there's not a half a percent not a quarter percent not one one thousandth of a percent no 100 of the time the flesh will fail so don't even go there it'll it'll be a great benefit to you to avoid that amen so the second point i want to bring out is that that when she first finally came to me and realized wow this is bigger than what i thought it was it's getting worse progressively worse the first thing the spirit ministered to me was that all things were possible to her if she would believe see even though you have power given to you you have authority given to you you have within you everything you need to be victorious if you don't believe or know about those weapons or you know about them but you don't believe in them to the point where that you're living in them which is belief is a is an action it's not it's not uh dormant it's believing is a verb it's it's action it's in action so when you believe something there is the corresponding results that come from that belief so when i shared with her all things were possible to the one that believes i think it encouraged her that wow maybe maybe i'm not believing like i should be or would let like i know to be about this challenge here and so that's all i said to her and i did pray over as i would over my own flesh but you know because her heart didn't embrace it right away i think that the enemy just increased his attack he pushed up his game and that right there can affect your heart to where you're thinking wow i guess maybe i need more than prayer now let me let me share something about my wife caroline she is one tough gal you know uh in the i think it was the 90s the devil attacked her with gallbladder uh attacks and i saw her go through some of those attacks and my goodness she was just doubled up curled up in a ball on the floor and she couldn't even move her hands or feet that's how intense the pain was and but she said no i am not going to the doctor god gave me my gallbladder to keep and i'm keeping it and she wouldn't give in and you know she's never had it after i think those came you know they they came and went like within a year you know where she had that issue and they've never returned since and uh but she's one tough gal in a good way uh and she's tough like she's strong in the lord and in the power of his mind she's not gonna let go of it just because the devil's uh poking her so anyway she hung on and so when she was hurting i knew that that uh this was an intense pain for her to say uh you know i am this is killing me you know where she said this is the worst pain i've ever had i knew it was bad and uh but again i think both of us needed to get to a place where we were focused in on this is the devil this is not a a sore muscle this is not a a broken bone this is a lie from the devil and you know that hour-long drive home in the car her in pain and me in uh you know in the spirit trying to you know hear exactly what the spirit was leading and just letting that boil within me so we got home and we said no to it so i want to point this out you know even though i prayed over and cast out that spirit out of her leg you know it didn't leave instantly the symptoms didn't leave instantly but she got up out of that chair she quit shaking so i knew in my heart that she had received that that was no longer going to be there she did not know how long i know that she said she didn't sleep well that night because the pain was still keeping her awake but she never let go that that problem has been cast out so it cannot stay and by sunday like i said we went and hiked that afternoon [Music] so even though we exercise power even i mean even though we have power and god's given us a weapon we must use that weapon to get rid of those lingering symptoms and in other words once you like think about it if you were to do in slow motion i'm going to use an example of a weapon if you were to fire a rifle uh at you know if you were to fire a rifle at a at game at an animal you know a thousand yards away there's going to be a delay from the time that bullet leaves the end of that barrel and before it hits the animal and the animal falls okay now there's a time space there okay but once you pull that trigger and you've properly aimed there's no option for that animal it's going down okay and the same thing is true when we have the weapon that god has given to us and we release that power inspired by spirit not by our flesh but when we're inspired by the spirit that's like the uh the gun powder uh you know behind the bullet that pushes the bullet out that's what happens you know when the spirit leads us it's the power behind the weapon he's given us which in this case that was us releasing that through our words and commanding that devil to loose and leave her and that's exactly what happened so it couldn't stay but the first place that it had to leave was her heart and mind and that's where it left first and it was like holding on you know like with its you know fingertips just still trying to hurt and then finally there was nothing left for it to hold on to you know oftentimes we release power we command things to happen and we're instead of just moving on what do we do we're looking we're peaking while we're praying is what i call it we're looking to see if there's any change and if if there's not then we don't carry on in our heart we don't release it in our heart we stay focused on it instead of trusting that what the spirit has inspired us to do the spirit will accomplish for us that's a very very important point that's what we need to believe that's why belief is so important because it's not us that's making it happen it's what the spirit is able to do because we believe it actually releases the spirit to uh what would you call it uh to uh to fulfill the demand that we're placing on it through our belief so anyway i think that's uh that's an awesome testimony i wanted to share it with you because it's such a good illustration of the application of these scriptures and how it looks in person when you apply it to yourself and uh powerful powerful powerful testimony so i just want to encourage you god has given you this power so use that power use the weapon that he's given you against those lingering symptoms but let it be inspired or powered by the spirit not by your flesh saying i'm sick and tired of feeling bad i want to get rid of this already i want to get back to doing x y and z no that's true that's god's heart for you he doesn't want you to be bound in the way that you are that's why he provided you with the deliverance in christ jesus see you are already healed caroline was already healed the devil was the one who brought the oppression into her leg that was hindering her and that's what i want to encourage you that you don't have to allow that to remain you don't have to let that happen you can rise up and say no to that weapon that the enemy has formed against you amen amen so uh let's see here i think yeah i think that's good i think we're gonna just uh i think i'll just wrap it up there and um but i do i i feel like uh the spirit is just leading me i wanna just pray this over you father in jesus name every person that will watch this video every person that's listening now father i ask that you would take these truths from your word that they would become quickened to the minds and hearts of all that are listening to it and that they will see that you have given them power you have given them authority over all the power of the enemy father in that they will seek your guidance and your strength behind that in jesus name and i thank you for doing that father in the name of jesus amen so i just want to remind you about uh the conference that we're going to have it's a free conference it is may 21st 22nd of this year in phoenix arizona it's completely free you go to the website and
