say before we really get into this how thankful I am to the Lord for the ministry that he's given to you and miss Phyllis and the change that it's brought to my life and my wife Sarah of course when I met her she had been in the church there Branson for for two years and I laugh about it but I thought even before I got to know her I thought if this girl's been sitting under this word for this long she's got to have something going for and I was right yeah so praise the Lord on behalf of her family who's still there a part of the church everyone thank you so much for listening to the Lord and and being obedient to do what he's told you guys to do it's it's changing lives all over the world and I is one of those God is good it's such a privilege to to be able to sow the word it does not return void that's the truth and I know we Minister administered in a meeting recently in the church and I saw we've only been there 12 years now but I saw some young ones that were children when we first started now they're young adults and coming into their own serving God and you know we don't know the seed that were sowing at this ministry so and the impact it has had already on multiple generations but if the Lord tarries has come it'll just keep monkey blowing so our labor is not in vain well we've got a four year old in our house right now yeah and every time we're watching we're watching all the time excuse me and he's you're leading us and and what is we we're getting our buildings our lands our houses right in our vehicles well he says and he says we're getting our buildings our lands our houses and our Meagles bagels so he says all of our debts are being reduced and you say eliminated basis lemonade lemonade and lemonade so but you know what he's getting it yes getting the word and I'm thankful for it we have got we've got to get into the word today I know you've got some things on your heart and I want to say just roll with it let's go with what the Lord wants to do Thank You Jeremy it's a privilege to be on the broadcast again we thank God for the opportunity and and brother Kenneth and miss Gloria and the thing the Lord put on my heart on this series a broadcast has to do with faith for miracles and faith for healings and in praying about it preparing about it the Lord dealt with me to remember and remind everybody watching and the partners that um he's not limited by time nor space and we know because of preparation because of different time zones and all these things this broadcast will be airing different times different places but the Lord knew that yeah when he gave us utterance for it and so we we prayed already with the crew and you and I and we are releasing faith that the anointing is coming and will manifest so so get ready as we follow the Lord there's going to be some manifestations that will happen as you watch and as you listen let's all join faith together on that right now everybody let's ask it Lord we're asking you for manifestations of the Spirit we're asking you to stretch forth your hand to heal and for signs and wonders and mirror during the course of these broadcast and will give you all the glory help us to yield to your spirit and respond properly and help everyone that you're ministering to to open up and receive it and we'll give you the glory for every good thing that happened thank you in Jesus name Amen amen the lid that's what we're expecting yes sir our main text on this Jeremy was mark the ninth chapter and if you got your Bible there watching turn with us so it put your eyes on it it'll it'll get any better in this passage in mark 9 there was a man that brought his son who was in a very bad condition to Jesus disciples and they failed to get the boy set free and so when Jesus came down off the Mount of Transfiguration they came running to meet him and the boy brother the the father brought the boy to Jesus and he said if you can do anything verse 20 to have compassion on us and help us and in verse 23 jesus said to them if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes and this is a well-known verse this 23rd verse is quoted a lot all things are possible to him that believes and the thing that I was reminded of is we got into this series as to two big errors that Christians are making concerning healings and miracles and you hear people say well why don't we see more miracles why don't we see more healings well they're happening sure they are how they're happening more in some places than others and two big mistakes that I believe a lot of folks are making and one is some idea that somehow we're waiting on God right we're waiting on his timing we're waiting for him to work something out in our lives teach us something do something and what the Lord has already bought and paid for and given to us we're not waiting on him for hmm it's a matter of receiving and receiving by faith that's what he said you know this this man basically tried to put this in Jesus lap and said if you can do anything yeah so all up to you so he thinks at this point he's waiting on the Lord so he Lord if you can do anything so now I'm waiting on you but it wasn't true Jesus turns around and says if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes yea so this error of thinking we're waiting on God for our healing for our deliverance for our miracle that we need but secondly is what you get into here those of us that have been around heard some faith messages like like us a lot of people have the idea well we've got this faith thing you know it yeah I know about faith and what they mean is I have knowledge of faith knowing about faith and hearing about faith is not the same thing as having faith and and a lot of folks are imagining that they have a lot of faith but the truth is faith is very weak and the scripture said in Luke II sits when the Son of Man comes returns to earth shall he find faith in the earth faith is a very precious thing now it is true that God is dealt to every man the measure of faith what that means is any of us all of us can have faith we have the potential but that doesn't mean that all of us are highly developed in faith right that faith has to be fed and that faith has to be exercised to develop to become stronger that's why this physical body was is a good picture of that's got to be fed same question sure exactly so principal and one thing that I noticed with this man that was a key to him getting his boy getting his healing and deliverance was what happened next when Jesus told him said if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes straightway the father of the child cried out and said with tears lord I believe and then he said help my unbelief he's honest that's the thing this hear me that's the thing faith is not pretending yeah you know the Bible talks about unfeigned faith in Timothy well if there's unfeigned faith that means there's faint faith and fame means to pretend and as we got into this study in our church it begins to be more and more apparent and clear that a lot of people in our circles are pretending to have faith yeah they know they know how to talk faith talk and they talk about faith but that's not the same thing yes having faith and it's a big mistake because if you read the rest of this account this boy got delivered mm-hmm and so when this man said lord I believe help my unbelief he got the help he needed yeah but if he had tried to pretend that he didn't need any help that he was there with his faith then he'd have been in trouble because all of us need help yeah every one of us need help and grace is the help everything that God's given us is in His grace and one big part of grace is help yeah with enough of God's help we can get anything amen with enough of God's help or grace we can believe anything we need to believe we can receive anything we need to believe we can overcome anything we need to overcome but and I'll sit like this he will meet us where we are but not where we're pretending to be Amen that's a problem because like James and first Peter says he God resists the proud but he gives grace to the humble yeah and a big part of humilities honesty and so on the scripture says examine yourself whether you be in the faith it is it does no good to pretend I have confidence and I'm fully persuaded and and I've got this when you're not there yeah he asked for help and he got help it's a it's it's a level of hypocrisy yeah and if you look at what Jesus said about it he was he spoke very plainly and very directly to who he called the hypocrites right and when the scripture talks about hypocrites you look it up and of course you know this but he's saying that it's that it's the name for a stage actor an actor on the stage of life portraying something that he's not right and God is not in that no he'd say he requires honesty absolutely I mean he won't regard vanity he won't even listen to it you may be able to con some some other people but he sees through everything as he's right into your heart and if you're not being honest and open with him he won't even hear he won't even listen to it and I think part of this though Jeremy among our circles is people are not doing this intentional sure they do they think that's what faith is right you just put on a happy face and and make a good confession and of course that's better than falling apart and when you're saying it you're hearing it and faith does come by hearing but I've seen and after being in the ministry for few years now teaching on faith I've seen a number of cases where people they're they're saying the right thing but they're full of fear and so it has an appearance of faith but it's not faith but would never let anybody know I'm right because I don't want you thinking and I'm not a man of faith but I heard you say this and I was studying along these lines and I heard you say it I shouldn't be at all concerned when I'm believing for something right right not what you think about you're not the one this is dependent is exactly right I'm not you know what I think is not going to affect your miracle yeah you're healing and it's a wrong focus to well what it is is pride you don't want other people to think that your faith is not there or that you're struggling sure but we all have flesh and we all just know in part and maybe in this area my faith might be real strong or stronger than yours but over here in this faith in this area your faith might be a lot stronger than mine and but we got to be honest if we're gonna get help here when he said God gives grace to the humble they be if you're studying out a big part of being humble is being honest yeah it's just being genuine it's being real and so he was he came and he fell down before the Lord earlier in in the passage and then he he cried out and said lord I believe help thou mine unbelief and the Lord knows you heart when you genuinely are reaching out doing everything you know to believe him but you're coming short and you can ask him for help he will meet you where you are yeah he did this man I mean just just a short time later this boys delivered and healed and we know that the man's faith needed some help and work yeah but he got it yeah he got it right here and that's what qualifies us for help the recognition that we need mm-hmm yeah and I think so many people think they see this weakness in their life and think that that's what's disqualifying them that's the that's the very thing that qualifies you for when you see it and you say Lord you are the only one that can help me Russ that's right when it's time for a miracle obviously some things are serious and when it's time to get your healing maybe you're facing something that's called terminal or incurable that is no place for pretending amen it is no place for trying to put maintain a front and maintaining the front is exhausting isn't it and at a time when you need every bit of strength you've got to focus on your faith yeah trying to maintain this facade with other people is a trick of the enemy yeah it's a foolish thing and that's why there been some people actually got mad at God and said well so and so you know man that's strong in faith but it didn't work for him and I don't know why well how do you know they're strong in faith right well they made all they said all the right things well yeah but that's the only part of this sure you know mark 11:23 and that faith folks are very one of my favorites yeah but he said whoever will say to the mountain be removed and cast in the sea shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe in his heart then what he says comes to pass he'll have what he says yeah Jesus didn't just say you'll have what you say he said if you don't doubt in your heart if you believe in your heart that what you say comes to pass you'll have what you say so yes as important this confession is that's not all there is to it if you're saying I'm gonna be fine I all our bills are gonna be paid I call this donor car if you and yet you're just full of fear on the inside and you don't really believe it well that's not okay or just saying it in front of the right people right yeah and then falling apart at home crying or amongst your family so the good news is we can see right here that even if your faith is as well short of where it needs to be you can ask the Lord to help you yeah help my unbelief I mean you can get this fixed in an instant it happened quick yeah I mean right there on the spot but he wasn't pretend he wasn't playing games with the Lord about what he believed in when he didn't believe so that's one of the things that that we have on our heart in these broadcasts is that people that are watching the people that are hooked maybe they've been struggling maybe they just been trying to pretend but we're gonna ask the Lord for help yeah and some things can come and it can come up quickly just like that it's like that I know well I was ministering to some people in the healing line some years ago and I got to this older lady and I started to pray for and I said well I I had a check and I said do you believe you'll receive now when we pray for you she says well I sure hope so and you know I'd seen other folks kind of jump on a person at that point and say know what you want then you're you're not in fact well that may be true but that didn't help mm-hm and the Lord prompted me she's close she's close and so I just I took just a moment whether I said sister it's okay it's okay I said you know what I can sense the anointing strong here today I believe when I lay hands on you the anointing is gonna come strong will you believe that with me she said okay I said I believe this anointing can do anything I believe it can destroy yokes and remove burdens and I just have a lot of confidence that right now how easy is this for the Lord to heal you she said oh he can do anything I said yes he can see you see what I'm talking about you is she wasn't there but it's beginning she's beginning to come and so I said I'm confident right now you ready to hook up with me and she said lay hands up and faith was there yeah and and she was just she was that close she was wavering son she was instant fear and not really knowing this was new to her but in just a few moments she pushed that aside and she could she could see in my eyes that I believed she could hear it in the tone of my voice and just like fear is contagious faith is contagious you know yeah it is you get around Sonia somehow that's strong in faith and they're believing for something maybe you started out going well we'll see hope so but after hanging out with him for a few minutes you're going let's do this in thank you let's get this thing so we're confident we pray yes already before this is happening yes in the people that are joining us on these broadcast yes it is let's release some faith further on it right now father thank you in Jesus name whatever needs to happen for the faith to come up from where it is now to where it needs to be we're asking you for this quickening word for your anointing manifested for the confidence to just flow over the airwaves and quicken and cause to rise up in full confidence and full persuasion in Jesus name praise the Lord listen this is this is going to get only better from here and your miracle is in this this week I want you to make the decision that you're gonna get in this with us and receive from the Lord all that he has for you amen let's get right back into this today okay we on yesterday's broadcast Jeremy we were talking about mark 9:23 where it says all things are possible to him that believes and what had happened in this situation is this man's son was in a terrible way he was having seizures he was trying to hurt herself kill herself the way he jump in fire he would jump in water and of course this is wreaking havoc with the whole family the whole home has been this way for a long time and this man brought his son to Jesus disciples and no doubt because he had heard of all the results they'd been getting and they had been if you look back and read the previous accounts Jesus gave His apostles disciples authority and power and send them to minister healing to people and cast out evil spirits and we were doing it it was time it was happening until here and so when when this man brought his son to the disciples they did everything they had been doing they cast out they rebuked they bound they prayed I don't know if they laid hands on him yeah but nothing worked it did not work and the Lord pointed that out to me and of course the big question that they had is why didn't it work and they asked the master later about and so this is Mark's account if you go to Matthew 17 if we could turn over there Matthew's account of this same so many people asking the same question Oh exact why isn't it working exactly that's frustration people are people faith people right been in some frustration with the expectation yeah I thought this was supposed to have right and then when something doesn't it's that space between expectation and then what happened it's trying to breed frustration in people why didn't it work yeah asking that question oh right yeah and that's that's what we're into right now there are real answers here as to the question why didn't it work and the answer is not sometimes it does sometimes first of all you see that after he brought his son to the disciples they couldn't get him set free Jesus came down from the Mount and the man brought his son to Jesus and he said you know you can tell this man we mentioned last broadcast he said help my unbelief well part of us because he's already tried this with the disciples and it didn't work yeah and so now with Jesus he's wondering could there be any help here - and so he says I brought him to your disciples they couldn't get him set free if you can do it you can have compassion on us and help us and such a revelation here Jesus didn't say well you should have brought him to me the first place right you know I'm a son of God I can do things like that but these other guys you don't know about them no he said he turned it right back to his faith yeah if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes if it had been another issue he went told exactly he put the finger on faith yeah being the issue and in Matthew 17 verse 17 jesus said this he said o faithless and perverse generation how long shall I be with you how long shall I suffer you bring him to me Jesus pinpoints that the problem is faithlessness lack of faith and then when verse 19 the disciples came to Jesus after he had set the boy free they came to Jesus by himself and they said were for were we not able to cast him out and verse 20 Jesus gives them the answer at this I'm reading the the living excuse me the Youngs literal Jesus said through your want of faith for verily if you have faith as a grain of mustard you'll say to this mountain remove hits the under place it'll remove nothing will be impossible to because of your won't of faith well I want to ask you something brother Keith why do you think that that's so insulting to so many people to be told you didn't it was a faith issue I know he's even talking to people sometimes I feel hesitant to say well they don't want to hear what is that there's gotta be pride I guess insulting to well no first of all all of us have flesh yeah and all of us have pride to deal with that that's the first mistake is why would you be offended that somebody suggested that it could be a lack of faith or it could be pride that to be offended shows that it's right on both counts because humility and honesty would admit my faith needs to grow and can grow a lot and that I have pride that I'm dealing with I know I used to I had the privilege of teaching at Rhema Bible Training Center and one of the courses we taught dealt with pride and humility and so we'd spend some time just don't knows what they are and how to develop in humility and I'd get students in all the time they'd say oh man you know I'm I'm looking forward to to that course because you know submission has always been easy for me and and and humility is just always come naturally for me and you know right away they don't know if what it is yes because submission is not easy for anybody I don't care who you are and all of us have pride to deal with and you have to make a choice yeah no I'm not going to yield to that I'm gonna resist that yeah and so that's exactly what Jesus pinpointed with these guys and if you if you look at the other situations around this you will see in mark 9 we were just there in mark 9:23 well just a few verses later in verse 33 same chapter now mark 9 2 where he said all things are possible him to believe it they arrived at Capernaum and he asked him what were you discussing and arguing about on the road and they kept still for on the road they had discussed and disputed with one another who was the greatest there was strife among them Luke said who should be accounted the greatest you can see a connection I mean if they were getting people set free if they were getting people healed what happened now now here's a here's something that's worthy of meditation these men were in personal fellowship in contact with Jesus daily they are authorized and anointed to minister healing and deliverance from Jesus personally and yet they get into Pride and unbelief and it doesn't work well that's a sobering lesson that even though you have faith even though you are knowing it and authorized hardiness is what the enemy is always trying to get us into some measure some degree and pride pride is not just believing good things about yourself pride is believing things it's not true Roman says not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think you didn't say not to think highly of yourself Philemon talks about acknowledging every good thing that's in us in Christ Jesus we need to confess every good thing that's in us that's true yeah but in Romans 12 each time and you know not to think more highly according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith soberly honestly realistically yeah so they after some success in ministry got away from realizing that it wasn't them it's the anointing it's what Jesus is doing through them I wonder if that ever happens you know but you know it's you know it's an issue because they get to arguing with each other ya know I'm gonna be I'm more important in the kingdom I have a greater ministry and then they show up and and this boy this man bring this boy to them nothing yeah no results now a lot of people that's where a lot of DOC new doctrines got started people with proven ministries pray our ministered to somebody and they didn't get delivered they didn't get healed and that's when again pride kicks in and instead of admitting my faith wasn't where it needs to be your faith wasn't where it needs to be I've been thinking doing some wrong stuff instead of acknowledging that asking for help like this man did people create new doctrines well it just must not have been God's will yeah he's working something out in this family's life and what that is is to take the light off of us yeah and to try to put the responsibility on God and something I saw that's that's the same very same thing when Jesus you know was baptized in the river and the Spirit of God came home on him bodily shape form years ago he was led into the wilderness where he was tempted notice how the enemy tempted him now first of all why is he tempting him now I mean he's just as much the Son of God two years before this or 5uy now it's because all this anointing has come on him and he knows if he can't do something to disrupt Jesus faith or his confidence level if he can't get some kind of condemnation in him and what have you then faith mixed with all this anointing yeah he's going to destroy yo it's gonna mess up the Devil's Playhouse so to speak and he knows that he's scared of that so he exerts a concerted effort forty days and nights and notice what he keeps going after if you be the Son of God command these stones it to be made bread and why wouldn't Jesus do that if he believe if he has the faith to do it if he has the authority to do it if he's hungry what's the big deal what Jesus said in John he said it repeatedly I can of my own self do nothing and here's the big revelation the enemy is trying to get him to use his faith apart from the direction of the Father Wow to do something on his own yeah he's gonna work miracles by his faith and by his anointing and that is a misconception that's the wrong idea we don't work miracles by God's power he works miracles by our hands and I know that sounds simple but it is night and day difference mentality and the enemy works on people that don't understand that and goes come on you know you stir up your faith and you do this and you make this happen and that's not how it works and that's why people in these situations and I've been there I imagine you've been there you feel this pressure you feel this pressure on you that I've got to produce and I got to do this and anytime you feel that you know it's wrong you know it's wrong because I am NOT the healer I am NOT the miracle worker I am NOT the provider and me trying to produce that is me being in Pride it's an element of me thinking I can do something I can't do yeah and yet if I just seek the Lord and say Lord what am I supposed to do on this and then he tells me what to say and do and then I do what he tells me to say and do and then he shows up and does it - sure that's no pressure on me no pressure no and but you have to admit and acknowledge I can't do this yeah and so after after ministering successfully for a while the enemy got these guys into some of that pride and some of that self focus and man they were feeling pretty pretty big about this you know man demons are getting cast out and miracles are happening and and they they get to this man oh yeah we can just step aside I'll take care of this and then nothing happened nothing happened yeah and you see that with what the enemy was trying to do then the other thing he takes him up you know on the pinnacle of the temple and he says if you be the son of God throw yourself off of here because it's written say all of this is about you about me showing I have faith about me demonstrating what I can do with faith and power and that is a wrong idea it is a wrong concept and Jesus refused to do it he would not do it he resisted the enemy he would not try to prove it and I have heard people and I'm sure you have maybe they're believing for a healing maybe they're believing for some finances and they're saying I'm gonna prove to the rest of my family that healing is real I'm unproven and and and I'm gonna get I'm gonna get my healing and and I'm gonna do this no no no back off of that you don't need to be trying to prove anything again let's think it's thinking too much about what they think about your faith or and there's some pride in that I'm right and they're wrong and this is right and they don't know no no faith is not this independent what I'm gonna do faith is complete dependence on God and Jesus demonstrated that so perfectly in the book of John he repeatedly says I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me I only say what I hear the father say I only do what I see him do I can of my own self do nothing he repeats that and was it John five couple of times I can of my own self do nothing yeah I think we ought to say that right now I can of my own self do nothing yeah and when the enemy comes in and tries to get you going and and and you can always tell it jeremy by pressure and that pressure is a symptom and manifestation of fear mm-hmm they went hand in hand yeah yeah what what if it doesn't work what if what will people think how bad it'll look and and all these kind of things and we've got to get delivered yeah from the fear of man yeah and realize it's not what people think they can't answer our prayers they can't meet our needs we need to forget about what they think and and God knows where our faith is and where it's not we can't fool him no need pretending we need to do what this man did so deliverance from that's the first miracle that we've got faith for out here right that's right I mean it you not realize how many of these things are hindrances in their standing in the way and everything God has for you but the good news is it can be stripped away like that yes just even I guess it was a couple of weeks ago on this broadcast I was here and inviting everybody to join me in this thing I'm before the Lord on right now and saying father if there's any thing in me mm-hmm that's not real it's not genuine it's not honest strip it away that's my motto right that's only so big so that we're making that invitation to you right yes if you will open up before the Lord and get honest with him he knows anyway you know you're not you're not fooling him you could have everybody else fooled but you're not fooling him so what we're doing is getting honest before him honest before the word and that's when the word can get down in here yes and get to work we've been studying in mark chapter 9 where the man brought his son who was having seizures and terrible problems and the man had already brought his son to the disciples and even though they've been getting results they didn't get results and we talked last broadcast about why didn't it work and the simple answer is because of your unbelief and that is the answer to a thousand one things in life when he when trying to answer the question why didn't that work why didn't this work why didn't that work it boils down to just plain old garden-variety doubt but he can't be that's it it is it is but I think part of it is a misunderstanding about what faith is faith is one of the most precious things in the universe it is rare to start with and it is precious I think that there's been this concept and idea that a faith everybody has faith well we all have faith you know and that's just not true we all believers have the potential of faith but it's a choice every day and just because your faith might be developed over here doesn't mean it's developed at all over here and so I want to read a couple of scriptures about the preciousness of faith 2nd Peter 1 and 1 Peter refers to this a couple of times he says Peter a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God in our Savior Jesus Christ he calls it precious and then in 1st Peter 1:7 1st Peter 1:7 this is the NIV he said these have come so that your faith of Greater worth than gold King James has more precious than gold which perishes though it's refined by fire may be proved genuine that your faith may be proved genuine and may result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed so that's what's valuable is genuine faith genuine faith there's a lot of counterfeit there is an abundance yeah but it's genuine faith that's precious environment there's actually shouldn't be surprising to us two of the most important things in the kingdom you will find widely counterfeited and that's faith and love there's a lot of things that people call faith and to the the unenlightened it looks and sounds like faith but it's not and same thing with love yeah there's a lot of talk about love but it's not real love and that's why the Spirit of God sent through Paul let you love be without hypocrisy yeah exactly exactly and your faith unfeigned he's done nothing that together the same thing one of the things that do us well to remember is the the phrase in Hebrews 11:6 without faith it is impossible to please him to please God now that's a tremendous statement it is out of all the things that God could have said he could have said this is important because that this is a vital part of your life but no he said there's no way you can please him that's not a word he throws around possibly impossible there's no way it's not going to happen that you can please him with that faith and that gives us insight into how precious it is to him what faith is faith is not just something we use to get things done faith in is in God and it's personal trust in Him and so of course us trusting him and relying on him and holding to him and believing in in the integrity and infallibility of his word is precious to him just like somebody would trust in you there's been a few times that uh people said some negative from well I there's been more than a few times people said negative things about me but specific thing I'm thinking about and it just wasn't true at all some folks had said that some things I had done and there was a friend of mine pastor friend of mine another state and I came there and he saw me and he told me about somebody trying to tell this other fellow something negative things about me and this guy spoke up and said now do you know that for a fact were you there did you see it he said no he said I don't believe it I don't know brother Keith and I don't believe that yeah well that blessed me sure right that's that's him having confidence in me that's him trust even though he he doesn't know the situation but his initial response is I don't believe that yeah he may not know no not have known that but he knew you exactly yeah exactly and and I'm a man I can make mistakes but if we can do that with each other how much more should we do that with our God and that is precious to him yeah but it's not it's not everywhere this this faith that it's impossible to please God without let me read a couple of things because I think there's this idea that faith is just everywhere and we got this faith thing right and that's not the problem no McGann and again when there was a failure to receive Jesus said because your unbelief because of your doubt and that he's the same yesterday today and forever he'd tell us the same thing those things haven't changed in second Thessalonians 3:2 second Thessalonians 3:2 he says pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men for not everyone has faith then Deuteronomy 30 to 20 talks about people a froward generation children in whom is no faith mark for a similar situation when Jesus arose and rebuked the wind you know they were in the boat and they were concerned about sinking and Jesus asked them in verse 40 he says why are you so fearful how is it that you have no faith now these are people traveling with Jesus these are people sitting under his ministry and hearing seeing miracles and and that's what we're talking much Jeremy I've been in the ministry long enough now to see on both sides people that have heard a lot of things and you would think well man they did have strong faith in that area and then when it something comes up in their life that they need to believe for it yeah they don't have any faith in that area they could have but at the moment of needing to believe for it yeah they don't and that's with any of us just because you've been around things and you've heard things does not mean it's automatic developments right no matter how many times your Grandpa's TV but the good news is faith is a choice it is a choice I think that's something that many have not understood you ever heard somebody say Jeremy I just can't believe that yeah you know I'm sorry but I just can't believe that there's no such thing as somebody that can't believe something they're using their own words they should say I choose not to believe it it's a choice and the reason so many times people choose not to be in faith is because they've chosen something instead sure they chose fear because it comes if that's what happened to these guys in the boat here's the storm raging and so and I know they didn't see it and it's easy for us to sit here in comfort and talking right but they had a choice I can I can look at what I'm seeing and hearing and feeling and I can choose fear or I can look at the master laying there sound sleep in the boat knowing that peace is mine to knowing what he's done in the past knowing his fate how he loves me and I can choose faith and they chose wrong yeah and question whether or not even care that's what they that was my next thing they said don't you care yeah don't you care that we perish and there there's a let's go to first john jeremy talking about this there is a glaring indicator of when this is going on we've already touched on it in previous broadcast first john fourth chapter and we wouldn't have to you don't have to have a word of knowledge you don't have to have a special degree of discernment to know when this is happening and what to do they said don't you care that we perish so they are yielding to questioning about how much he cares for and they're yielding what they're seeing and feeling and in so doing they chose fear and that took the place of where their faith should have been and that's why Jesus he didn't just say come here let me hug you I know you got scared it's gonna be all right no they should have known better they they've know what they've been around him enough now they've seen and heard enough they know a little bit about what faith is they know you could have chosen to believe so then he wants to know why did you choose fear yeah why are you so full of fear how is it that you have no faith he's talking to his disciples and on this particular moment they have no faith no faith so we don't need to be braggadocious about how much faith we got all the time every area is different every day is a new day we got to make the right choices but here's an indicator of when to go into resisting mode he said verse 18 a first John four first John 4:18 there is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear now faith which works by love will displace fear this is wonderful news it will push it out of human mm-hmm what a thought yeah all of us have had fear come to us every one of us usually from the time you're really young something whether it's sleeping without the light on or or whatever it might be it's the same stuff that bug can bother you when you're 70 years old just in a different area but anytime fear is allowed to develop and worry and anxiety all manifestations of fear is because of an absence of faith and confidence in God's love for us faith working by that love and it's evidenced by this yeah he said perfect love don't let that word perfect through you that that's fully developed strong yeah fully developed love casts out fear it displaces it because fear has torment and he that fears is not made perfect in love we love him because he first loved us there's the key this fear has torment we are not supposed to be heavy all the time we are not supposed to be tormented I'm leaving right now Jeremy that all the partners everybody joining with us this revelation is gonna come up strong this is something to help you in day in night in when you sense that torment that vexation that frustration it's time to go into resisting mode and you go no no I am not yielding if it's tormenting that's all you got to know it's not God and it's not faith and it's not love it's the enemy trying to pressure you trying to get your eyes on the wrong thing walking by sight getting into some pride when you when you sense that I know I mentioned it already but one day I was going down the road in my car and I was thinking about some things this as many years ago and and I just was frustrated about why I hadn't already seen this or why this was working this way and just as clear the Spirit of God spoke up in me he said frustration is not faith if you're frustrated you're not in faith and I just I thought well I could I know what happens when you don't get in faith nothing you're not going to hit your answers no I I got to get this fixed and and you you see that frustration is a degree of torment nobody enjoys frustration because it's confusion yeah it's going this is supposed to be working but it's not why not it asked that why isn't this work and on some belief in there's some form of you saying it isn't work yeah it is yeah why isn't it working you just said it isn't working working no torment in all of its forms is is a manifestation of fear and here's the thing is the devil will come and say well you're doing the best you can but this is just overwhelming you and it's so big and and no no no what none of us ever have to fear amen we never have to fear if fear is in us we let it in us go with go with me to gospel account of John if you got your Bible there watching with us go to John don't don't assume you know this already this is this is a powerful answer did I say what chapter not yet 1414 if you sense any kind of torment frustration anxiety worry vexation you know it's not God you know it's not right and if any of it gets in you it's because you let it in you here's some good news the devil cannot put fear in you he cannot if he could he just terrify you and me to our wits end he cannot do it if we have fear in us we let it in you can see right here John 14:1 Jesus said let not your heart be troubled you believe in God believe also in me what does it mean let not see a lot of people would try to tell Jesus well I'm trying not to but it's just it's just more than I can handle it's no he said don't let it if you skip down towards the end of the chapter in verse 27 peace I leave with you Jesus said my peace I give to you not as the world gives give I to you let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid the understood subject is you Jesus is saying you are not to allow your heart to be troubled you are not to allow yourself to be afraid many believers don't believe that yeah many Christians they don't think they can do that but it's the truth it is it's a choice and here's the thing you got to deal with symptoms of fear just like symptoms I don't care if your knees are bumping together if the hair still Natalie you you say no I refuse to fear fear I resist you I choose to believe and if you resist the enemy he will flee from you there's something I've heard you say over and over it's had a huge impact on me and I carry it with me all the time it says you say one of the greatest things you'll ever do in this life is learn what you are to yield to right and what you are to resist that's right and this is exactly what we're talking about on these broadcasts learning what we are to yield to right which is humility to yield is to humble yourself right but there are things that you and I are to not yield to but we are to resist standing strong in the Word of God and being real and being honest yeah we've dealt with this on this broadcast before but being real and being honest isn't just it's not just saying what you feel yeah no that's no that's just being fleshy being real a real believer is somebody who will say only what they believe yeah we've been on faith for miracles and our main text has been here in mark 9 let's read it again in mark chapter nine if you got your Bible there open it up and read it along with us it'll get into you better this man brought his son having seizures to Jesus actually had brought him to his disciples first they failed to get him set free and you want to remember what we talked on that just because somebody's prayed for you or somebody laid hands on you ministered to you and it nothing happened that doesn't mean that it's not the will of God for you to be healed or delivered here's Jesus own disciples authorized and empowered by him and they failed to get results in their prayer and ministry but that doesn't mean it wasn't God's will for the boy to be set free and so he was and when the man finally brought him to Jesus himself he said if verse 22 if you can have can do anything have compassion on us and help us and Jesus said if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes and straightway the father of the child cried out and said with tears lord I believe help thou mine unbelief so the man tries to put it all if it be thy will and if you can it's up to you Lord and the Lord turned right back around handed it back to him and said no if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes and the man you know he's hearing Jesus say this he's looking at Jesus eyes and when Jesus looked at him said if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes he just responded and said I do believe help my unbelief he he making a choice to believe but he realized he's acknowledges he's dealing with some unbelief and some fear you know he's been living with these symptoms with his child for all these years he's prayed and had other people ministered to the child and no results and he's fearful of getting his hopes up and being disappointed again and probably very worn out yeah exactly and but here's the big thing he chooses to believe he chooses to believe and then he's honest about where his faith is and he said Lord I'm believing you know I'm dealing with some things help me yeah and obviously he did because a few verses later the boy is delivered and healed and their life has changed and miracle still happened today Jesus is the same but I want us to camp just a little bit today on what he did in making this choice okay let's we're here in mark let's go to John the 20th chapter and after Jesus has been raised from the dead and the disciples begin to find out about it we see two very different responses concerning his resurrection in John 20 and 6 when Peter and John came to the tomb when the women had told him that they had seen him sit Simon Peter followed and went into the supplicant and see if the linen clothes lie and the napkin that was about his head now lying with the linen clothes but wrapped together in the place by itself then went in also that other disciple John which came first to the sepulchre and he saw same thing Peter saw and he believed for as yet they knew not the scripture that he must rise again from the dead John on this occasion to me it's impressive he is apparently the first of the disciples the first of the men they're the twelve to believe and he just he's standing there looking the stone is rolled away the closer to one side and they they hadn't got the revelation as a group that what Jesus was talking about about the rising from the dead that he's literally talking about physical resurrection but John looks at it and just chooses to believe it yeah I've never thought about that he said that just yeah Wow looking at that it would have been easy to believe a hundred different things really well a lot of natural explanations for it right he he chose right away didn't he quick to believe yeah quick to believe and that's what we want to be Jeremy we want to be quick to humble ourselves and we want to be quick yeah to acknowledge the truth we want to be quick to repent we want to be quick to believe and that is being yielded to the Spirit of God that's being responsive and that's not the way the world is and if we're conformed to this world we won't be that way there there there'll be this reluctance there will be this slowness this Wow we'll just wait and see well you know we'll see what happens later on we'll find out that can be a slowness to believe and it's not a complimentary thing it reveals a fault that needs to be corrected if you remember when Jesus appeared to them well actually just later in this this same chapter if you look at the other accounts he reproved them for their hardness of heart and and he said Oh slow to believe you're slow and you see part of what he's talking about just in the same chapter down in verse 25 in verse well Thomas had said verse 24 when they told him they saw Jesus at verse 25 they said we've seen the Lord he said except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side I will not believe I will not believe now this is not that Thomas can't believe you hear the word we I will not it's a choice right John looks he's got no physical proof that Jesus has been raised from the dead the doors open and some clothes are there but based on what he knows about Jesus and he's beginning to put some things together that Jesus had told him he believes he believes and here Thomas he has people he knows they're not liars he's got several things and yet he just makes a choice nope yeah I'm not gonna believe unless you can show me this unless you can prove this to me unless I can touch this and feel this unless I well unless I see well if he sees Jesus and he touches Jesus that's not faith it's late for faith yeah he's walking beside and you see that verse 27 Jesus responds to this he said to Thomas reach enter your finger behold my hands reach other your hand put it into my side be not faithless but believing so Thomas in this case was faithless there was zero faith in response to what he was being told about the Lord and Thomas answered and said to him my Lord and my god well he's seen him he's touching him - it's late for faith but jesus said to him Thomas because you have seen me you've believed blessed are they that have not seen and yet believe yeah there's a key to walking in the blessing isn't it isn't it but if you listen to the enemy and he speaks directly to he'll bring thoughts to your mind he'll bring feelings to your mind he'll try to influence you through people around you even people closest to you if he can't get to you he'll try to influence you through people closest to you he's counting on you loving their flesh so much that you let stuff in through them that you wouldn't let come from him recked a good example is job's wife he's not saying I'm gonna curse God and die and of all the things she could have said to him what does she say yeah exactly what the devil had said to God challenging him so she's become a mouthpiece for the enemy and you've got to we got to be aware that when this comes we're not gonna inflate it influenced us to be unbelieving and slow to believe and all this reluctance well if I see this year people say well seeing is believing and no it's not no the scripture says unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living I'd have perished no seeing it's not believing you got walking beside and you got walking the faith yeah and they are not the same thing but if you choose to walk beside you and you'll yield to fear like we talked last broadcast you'll let it in and it fears in us we let it in it's nobody's fault but ours I know it's repeating it but to me it was a wonderful victory day when I realized the devil cannot put me put fear in me he can't do it and he can't make me doubt yeah he can't it's it's up to me and I don't care how swamped I may be with feelings and thoughts swirling I can make a choice like that man made in front of jesus lord I believe help me with the stuff I'm dealing with here but I am choosing to believe you and Oh Jeremy if we'll do that yeah I'm telling you it pleases God sure when we're standing up in the face of all kinds of stuff and we're saying I don't care I don't care I'm not moved by that I'm not moved by that I like what Paul said none of these things move me Lord I trust you I don't care what I understand what I don't if we will do that he will meet ask where we are we're not pretending right but we're choosing to believe we say that again he'll meet us where we are not not where we're pretending to be you can't fool God you know don't try to act like oh I'm so strong in faith and nothing's bothering me he sees you heart already no need to play any games but it's not playing the game even though with all these feelings and symptoms I choose to believe yeah there's another example of this I think you do it's good to look at back in Luke 1 you see a very similar example two people same type of circumstances but very different responses John you know just decided to believe Thomas decided not to believe it's a choice in Luke 1 I think we need to reiterate that right there she decided not to believe and Jesus was not okay with that mm-hmm Jesus said look you you say that because you see it mm-hmm but the blessing blessed this isn't just saying bless you brother no the blessing yeah belongs to the one who will believe before they see it yeah the empowerment the enablement of the blessing in that what a miracle would be in your life yes a demonstration yes blessing of the Lord yes at work in your body at work is in any arena of your life yes let's gonna begin right there it's um it's worth spent a little more time on what you're saying Jeremy it's the enemy will bring you all kind of excuses for why it can't happen now mm-hmm we're not quite there well with the way the economy is you couldn't expect it to happen this year maybe next year when things get a little better well maybe it's summertime and you know the church is experiencing this or that well not not now maybe later well you know what's gonna happen later is the enemy's going to bring something else some other reason why you're not now be winter just put it off just a little bit there's always some reason and and that's what that's what Thomas was saying yeah well when I see yeah later on if and when I see this and if I want to see that I'll believe and he missed his opportunity to do what John did no it's real simple you choose to believe now and we prayed about this before we started taping this broadcast we're believing for miracles we're believing for healing and all you got to do is begin to believe just choose to believe right now expect some things to happen we're believing and we're going to be releasing our faith today and in the days to come on this broadcast for miracles to occur in your body in your finances in your marriage in your business and your ministry in your church but you got to quit putting it off you got to quit making excuses and say well when this gets better if when that no no now right now you just begin to say and you don't have to wait until you're perfect more perfect and knowledge or all right and if you never ask the devil is my faith there no no no that's it that's it almost but not yet and and you know 10 years from now you go how about now no no not yet and this man's faith was not there but he chose to believe where he was and God made him yes met him and the grace helped him the rest of the way and he got his results then yeah that day yeah choose to believe in Luke 1 you see a similar situation to what we just saw such a powerful thing when the angel came to Mary in Luke 1 and 38 and he he told her what was going to happen to her and she didn't understand how she's gonna have a child without a physical father being involved and he told her that the power God was going to come on her and she was going to conceive and verse Bella verse 38 Luke 1:38 Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me according to thy word yeah and the angel departed from her Mary doesn't understand how this is gonna happen yeah this has never happened before how's she gonna conceive a child I mean there's all kind of people don't believe it to this day but in simple faith she just chose to believe it and you can see why God chose her yeah hallelujah yeah she just she just said okay yeah all right I accept that I believe that be it unto me yeah according to thy word and the word literally became flesh inside her yeah she can see it was the word of the Lord from heaven it wasn't physical manifested she believed it and it became the word became flesh yeah one of the most amazing miracles that has ever happened never will but even though the Messiah has come and we have him the word is still being made flesh the word of healing the word of deliverance the word of provision but you got to do the same thing now we see prior to this in verse 18 when the angel came to Zacharias oh yeah remember that we told him a similar thing yeah what's going to happen well as far as there's going to be a child not that there was going to be without a human father so this should be a little easier to believe right right this is happened before but because they're older he says whereby shall I know this verse 18 Luke 1:18 for I'm an old man and my wife is well stricken in years he's choosing to question this yeah and not accept it not believe it and that's when the angel said I'm Gabriel I stand in the presence of God I'm sent to speak to you and to show you these glad tidings and you'll be dumb and not able to speak because you believe not my words Wow he could have chosen to believe just like Mary did but it didn't yeah and so he needed to have his mouth closed to what let's interfere and get this when people say I just can't believe that it's not truth not sure we can choose to believe there's something you said that I want to wrap this broadcast up with and you said to be slow to believe is equal to a hard heart mmm so one thing you know about Mary yeah Tenderheart turn their heart isn't real hearted quick to believe that's going to have to be your the condition of your heart for you to have faith for the miracle that you need right now in your body a miracle of healing let's let's let's get this heart healed and be tender and open before the Lord and just say it out loud right now I believe I believe right now can we build on this today as we wrap this week absolutely let's go with the Lord have asked um what you're saying there Jeremy you there's no such thing as growing up spiritually developing spiritually without developing in love and faith they are the same and so when somebody develops and grows you tell my brother Copeland you're going to see a development in love and a development in faith it's if we're maturing and we're developing there that are inseparable and we started out to broadcast this week dealing with some issues that I know in my few years of ministry I keep coming across keep coming across all of us have touched on this is that when it comes to getting what you need your healing your finances whatever it might be and you can't produce it yourself and somebody else can't produce it for you it's going to take a miracle people have trouble with that word but though the word literally means the the power our force that makes possible its power manifested and if you don't believe in miracles power that makes possible then you don't believe in God and if you don't believe in the power that made the virgin birth possible and the power that made the physical resurrection possible then you're not a Christian if you don't believe those things you can't be heady and go well isn't it Jesus teachings that are the most important thing is it really that important that I believe in a virgin birth and a physical resurrection it's all important if you don't believe in those things you're not a true Christian you can't be you can't be born again without believing that and so the proof of God is all around us what power makes possible our son in our gravity in our solar system in the universe and our lives and our bodies people so there's no proof of God it's everywhere proof of God is all around us and he has ordained that the way we tap into we access this life-changing Meerut miraculous power his faith is faith and and two things that that many church-going people are have believed and allow the enemy to hinder them from what they need one is some idea that we're waiting on God somehow just keep begging God begging God and somehow someday maybe it'll happen so we just keep waiting keep waiting keep waiting and it's just not true we're not waiting on him things that he's already bought and paid for what's been provided by grace must be possessed by faith it's up to us but then secondly some people have gotten out of that ditch got the ditch owner said go I got this faith thing oh yeah we all got faith that's that's not the problem gotta look somewhere else yeah no faith is from hearing the Word of God and in a choice yeah to trust what he said and to do what he said and it's no more difficult than that if we will hear from him and then do what he said and then just step back and let him do it yeah we'll have miracles I know that sounds too simple but it works just like that every time there's something we touched on yesterday that I'd like for us to go a little bit further in first Timothy Warren first Timothy 1 we saw where John chose to believe and Thomas chose not to believe where Mary chose to believe Zechariah chose not to believe and that faith is a choice in 1st Timothy 1:13 Paul brings out that he was before a blasphemer and persecutor and injurious he said but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief Paul who was saw persecuting the church got saved became Paul an apostle of the Lord he said I was doing that in unbelief and unbelief because of ignorance if we look in we looked in John talking about Thomas but also in Hebrews it brings out that the without going there and taking the time the Israelites delivered from Egyptian bondage it says they they could not enter into the promised land because of their unbelief and you'll see it's a different word it means unpersuadable yeah it's not that they didn't know there was a promised land it's not that they didn't know God had power to get him in think about all the signs they had seen in their deliverance coming they knew God could do things yeah but they chose not to they they chose to be obstinate and hard-hearted yeah and and slow to believe you got to prove it to me you got to show it and what you referred to earlier and people thinking I'm so brilliant and if I can't understand it yeah I'm not gonna believe it and accept it well you're never going to understand everything and and what your what your saying is I trust myself I trust what I understand and you're not investing any trust in God or anybody else if you invest trust in God you believe it before you see it before you feel it before you understand that just because he said so yeah if he said it's that way then like Mary you say okay okay be it unto me according to the word out of power in that little word oh it pleases God it pleases God I have the sense Jeremy that the enemy has lied to people watching the broadcast waiting on this waiting on that waiting on the other and that there are a number of people that could just choose to believe right now and just that quick choose to believe yes they are just choose to blee instead of waiting for this waiting for that waiting to understand this waiting to understand that I have the sense that there are some people that have had difficulty in their financial realm and in their business it's just been one thing after another one thing after another month after month and the enemy keeps convincing them that you got to wait till this and you got to wait till that they need to release faith now and let some things happen let let's agree with them father in the name of Jesus I want you to say this out loud with me those if you're watching you said out loud with me I'm not waiting for anything not waiting for anything I choose to believe right now I choose to believe right Satan I bind you up Satan that I take your hand off my finances you hand off my finances they're loosed into my life Houston yeah I believe I receive I believe I receive abundance funding right now right now in Jesus and uh Jesus name also there's somebody more than one somebody their leg has been had been problems they've had pain and they've had infection and inflammation there are several legs that the Lord would heal right now don't put it off anymore just choose it right now say I receive healing for my leg you know I receive healing for my leg that anointing and remember we talked about this God knew before he led us to minister this on this broadcast he's not limited by time nor space he knew what was going to happen legs are being healed I can I can sense it in the inner thigh and in the knee and in the outside it's been healed in Jesus name intestinal problems you can put your hand on your on your stomach on your midsection there there's been some blockages and there have been some inflammation and infection and the start of some deadly diseases we curse them you need to say it out loud I curse it in Jesus name I command that die and dry up and go away blockages be dissolved be removed inflammation and infection and swelling subside go down be healed yes you can you can believe it right now just choose to and just say lord help my unbelief help and help what I need to make it the rest of the way he's doing it right now in Jesus name necks and backs are being healed just put your hand on you on your neck or on your back and I speak to that spine be aligned disks be normal and be healed oh thank you lord there's some healing flowing right up there in the top of the back right now in Jesus name Jesus oh there's

and in the skull and in the head and in the brain be healed right now in Jesus name you need to say I believe it now I choose to believe it's you I believe I receive it Levi right now right in Jesus name Jesus name Collin thank you thank you lord I believe a number of things are happening right now as faith is being released and we're not waiting yeah we're not being slow right you know too many times people just sit there and think oh that's interesting oh yeah I think about that one that's that's not faith that's not quick thinking yeah and quit analyzing and quit reasoning and just say I believe it right now I believe I receive it right now yeah thank you Lord glory to God thank you Lord let us know we want to enjoy yeah was you the Lord was working in your body right then come on call us let us know we got people here that want to rejoice with you over that praise God yes thank you Lord hallelujah I'm excited about what's happening here miracles are happening good things are going on and they're going to continue to happen throughout this broadcast yeah and after the broadcast is over they're going to continue to happen yet and just don't don't fall for the trick of the enemy and think and wait and reason and Wonder just say I believe I'll receive it now I released released my faith right now praise the Lord thank you lord so Paul when he saw the light on the road to Damascus he changed he was persuadable when when he got the revelation but many others like the first generation delivered out of Egyptian bondage they they chose not to and even though a miracle begins to work in people's lives you can choose at any time to look away from the Lord and look at the symptoms and problems and begin to get bogged down in it again it's a choice faith is a choice yeah fear is a choice unbelief is a choice we remember that fear is why Peter didn't complete his water walk yeah he got started and that's a miracle that you're walking on the water who could doubt that and yet he gets to looking at the wind and the waves something's always going to be there to distract you we got to develop powers of focus and concentration I know one of the things has helped me through the years is you know I got a body I got finances and symptoms and things can try to get your attention but the Lord's help me I just don't pay much attention to it if a little ache and pain and every little what is this what is that I'm healed yeah and I just just keep working for the Lord and and the stuff just falls off by the side yeah but but at any moment you could focus and and the enemy likes to play games with you you're getting a kick in the pain and you go when the worst things you can do is go I wonder what that is but the enemy or come and say terminal cancer you'll be dead in two weeks no no no and if you won't accept that he'll back up to something else well you got a lot of intestinal problems you got this and if you don't accept that well it's a cute indigestion it just keeps backing up until you go yeah that's what it is yeah and when you do that you have focused on what you're seeing and feeling and you have chosen to fear that you've chosen to believe that yeah people putting their symptoms in on the internet finding out what they got and then the 14 thousand articles Oh more you feed on that you do that yeah it'll feed fear yeah and and you don't want to you want to be feeding your faith yeah and the thing is if you're healed doesn't matter what it was yeah you're healed so it's the choice I know we keep saying it but it comes back to it the only thing that makes us unable the the unbelief made the disciples unable to minister delivers to that boy but when he said lord if you if you can do something have compassion on us and help us he said if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes yea all things all things I just got it in my spirit somebody's watching that's been dealing with depression and drugs

lives of people watching this all over the world people watching it that in this year people watching it in the years to come I thank you Lord for being so gracious to us to do all that is in your heart to do we do we thank you for in Jesus uses amen brother Keith and I out of time but don't go anywhere we'll be back in just a moment [Music] now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen don't ever short-circuit a miracle by trying to see it in progress so many believers do that they lay hands with someone and pray for healing or deliverance and then when they don't see any immediate outward change take place they'll withdraw their faith and assume nothing happened next time you're tempted to evaluate what God is doing by the looks of things don't do it remember instead that is faith not appearances that makes miracles happen it's the only real evidence you need God requires honesty he's looking for genuine faith he's looking for someone who'll be real with him so he can be real to them and being real with God begins by making Jesus the Lord of your life because you're saying look lord I I quit I quit trying to be my own Lord I quit trying to be my own God and I want you to be my father and that's real and that's honest and God loves it and he'll receive you and if you've never made Jesus the Lord of your life then then don't wait any longer and pray this with me right now just simply say this my god in heaven I come to you in Jesus name and I ask you for and believe that I receive forgiveness for all my sins I believe in my heart and I say with my mouth Jesus you're my lord I give you my life now you take it and do something with it and I ask you to fill me with your Holy Spirit I receive him in Jesus name Amen now I know it

time and I came to a Kenneth Copeland conference I was so affected by the Holy Spirit outpouring of love that came from Kenneth and Gloria and many others who are also speaking that I just I wanted to be a part of that I was attacked with rheumatoid arthritis in 1995 and it's a very debilitating disease it's a chronic disease that according to the medical world is not a curable disease and that just wasn't good enough and it kept getting worse however and I was praying etc but then after being here and going to Gloria's healing school I realized wow I don't have to put up with this anymore and I just stood on his word as Gloria and Kenneth preached and refused to budge from that and and God is faithful he himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses and I just saw it all in the back of Jesus I saw his joints all gnarled up and in his feet and hands and and body attacked with it because he was when he received those 39 stripes one of those was for rheumatoid arthritis and he took it away and now I don't have it anymore cuz he had it back into the pit of hell and then after the healing school I could tell a big difference I knew something big had happened and I went up and I gave a testimony at that time and said I know this disease is out the window and it doesn't even have a chance in my body anymore and so iced I've still been taking just minimal amounts of medication and now I've gone back and blood tests are just totally normal so praise God it was progressive and I could tell there was a huge amount of this that was just eradicated completely through the prayers and then it continued it continued to just lesson a lesson a lesson until I had absolutely no pain at all and so I'm just praising God constantly for healing me and I made some dietary changes too and this has just been the victory of Jesus Christ we've been claiming the word as far as Kenneth teaches a lot about writing the declarations and then praying over that and the scripture and then putting it up on your fridge or someplace that you'll see it so we have about seven or eight declarations on our fridge right now most of which Evolved taken place for example three and a half years ago my husband was laid off at the position he had and I'll never forget the day he came home he said you know I will never have a job as good as this again and I said you're right honey you're going to have a better one and we called up Kenneth Copeland ministries they prayed with us led us to Psalm 112 and we stood on that song every day and within five to six weeks maximum it was probably a little less than he had two tremendous job offers it was difficult to even decide which one they're both is so magnificent and that was all God and we've praised him constantly for that Jesus is the reason I am so happy because he is life and he is life abundantly and he has brought us life abundantly and Kenneth Copeland ministries has brought us new revelations and ministered that life to us and we are enjoying the blessing without measure one of the verses we stand on constantly in our family thanks be to God who gives us the victory in our Lord Jesus Christ and we thank you for that victory through Jesus the victory is ours as many of you know every Friday on this broadcast is offering day this is something the Lord instructed my grandfather in years ago and brother Keith I asked you sir to just take us into the werden and as we prepare to give and so our seed what would the Lord have us do I'd very much like that Jeremy um I want to ask those watching partners were you a partner with Kenneth Copeland ministries in the 70s because if you were I want to thank you personally because God used you to help the Copeland's minister the word to many people like me Phyllis or not we got we were in a little meeting there in Jackson Mississippi and then we got a hold of some materials that some people got to us changed our life forever we we got a hold of the word of faith for the first time through this ministry and I am so thankful for it because it reminds me of what Peter said the incorruptible seed of the word of God through material money seed you can help the incorruptible seed of the word go forth and currency and silver and gold and everything down here is very temporary it'll all be gone but that seed that was preached and taught that was financed by these partners that's for effort yeah that will never go away and so we want to you know pray over your offering and and prepare to minister that let's just do it right now father in the name of Jesus we sow our seed into good ground and we say it will produce 30 60 100 fold of the incorruptible seed of the word of God the anointed word of God going around the world to your glory and we say so be it in Jesus name and we believe we receive a manifold harvest coming back on the people Amen Jesus name thank you Lord and those of you who have been partners with this ministry for so long on behalf of my grandparents thank you thank you for your faithfulness the Lord has has so demonstrated himself and his faithfulness and he's done it through you and like the scripture says you
