God's Will To Heal, Part 9

turn to Luke please this evening book of Luke and the fifth chapter we've been on the subject here for a few weeks of God's will to heal anybody getting getting something out of this besides me I'm I'd say I'd preach it just for myself you need to hear this kind of thing on a regular basis because even though people make fun of us and they talk about these things there are two areas that you need to feed your faith in continuously it's in the area of your physical health and long life and it's an area of your finances and material needs met because you're you know continuously having to believe for that aren't you hmm you're to get this body through in its fallen mortal state you need needs help right and you know to to meet all your needs and expand everything you need continuously need your faith fed in these areas and you know what not to stay in a place where they telling you and and you know robbing your faith that you can't be healed and might be God's will for you to die young and you probably not gonna have anything and you know it gives God glory some kind of way for you to be broke and defeated you're not staying that you're not hear it because it'll it'll take its toll on you it'll robbed you know thank God there's good news I said there's good news there's good news for the poor there's good news for the brokenhearted there's good news for the blind there's good news for those in captivity right good news is it's already been bought and paid for you can be free you can be healed you can be delivered you can prosper it is the will of God so we've been talking about God's will is it God's will for all to be healed today millions don't think so all kinds of preachers and theologians don't think so all kinds of churches and denominations and groups don't think so don't believe so but what does the Bible say what does the Bible say in Luke 5 Luke 5 and 12 it came to pass when Jesus was in a certain city behold a man full of leprosy who seen Jesus fell on his face and besought him saying Lord if you will you can make me clean well wonder how many Christians are praying this tonight huh how many people good people they love God people that are saved at their home at the hospital numerous places in distress in pain facing a terminal disease or an incurable situation or just a chronic thing hadn't been able to shake how many do you think are praying the same prayer lord I know you can heal me I know nothing's impossible with you I know you can if it's your will if you would if it's your will there's a whole lot more people praying this than praying like we pray we are not the majority in this well why do people pray that way they're asking the same question this man asked did the Lord answer his question and we know that this is no coincidence that says this is in the Bible the Bible said if everything jesus said and did was recorded not even the world itself could contain the books that should be written as so what we do have was handpicked by the Holy Spirit right and recorded and preserved why because it is the unchanging Word of God and will of God for all people for every generation can we say this Bible is God talking to us can we take it personally yeah well then he answered the question when the man said lord I know you could help me I know you could if you would if it's your will what did Jesus say Jesus verse 13 he put forth his hand and he touched him and he said ah will not you stop right there stop right there I will who said it Jesus in connection with what person asking about being healed physically being healed leprosy I will or midst the barbed wire entanglement of the confusion of men's minds and twisted theology and philosophy and on and on and on this reigns supreme this stands on top of the mountain of confusion in brilliant light forever settled in heaven that cannot change that never will jesus said I will I will well that's good enough for me I said that's good enough for me I'm just simple enough to say there it is I takes it for me makes me happy huh there it is he said I will he reached out and touched him I will be thou clean and immediately his leprosy departed from him did this man already believe it was God's in God's ability for him to be healed he already believed that and he's still sick did you see that he's fully convinced fully persuaded that the Lord can heal him and he is not healed it takes more than believing God can do it people perish believe in God can do it it takes more than believing he can what else must you believe you must believe it is his will and you can't be ambiguous about it and that's why there's so much trouble with so many Christians that are wavering they're wondering well well you just never know what God's gonna do sometimes it's his will and sometimes we don't know why but he had he must have his reasons and it's just not always well if you had to know his will before you could be in faith that would be a reason if you had to have faith and you had to know his will before you could be in faith wouldn't that explain why a lot of people don't receive and it's true so thank God it is written it is written God's Holy Word Jesus said I will the Living Bible said when when Jesus said sir if you only will you can clear me of every trace of my disease Jesus reached out and touched the man and said of course I will be healed and the leprosy left him instantly well if it's really truth then you'll find it more than one place in the Bible the scripture said in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established so we have Jesus own word for it that he said I will when somebody asked him if it was his will for them to be healed or not but we have begun on a course to give you at least 30 biblical reasons why we are sure it's God's will for all to be healed and if I took time and reviewed all of them then we wouldn't have time to do anything else tonight you understand you can get it for free online you can download it for free in its entirety you can pick it up from the word supply the things are available video and audio in both so get caught up with us feed your faith in this area don't take my word for it search it out see if you can prove me wrong now don't write me letters on it I probably already heard them but I'm talking about to your own satisfaction get in the Bible look at verse after verse see if see if it's there or not don't take my word or any other preachers word for it prove it out is it there but how many know if you keep seeing something verse after verse truth after truth principle after principle after wild you ought to get satisfied that this is the will of God and that's what we're doing we've looked at reason one two and three and four and five and six and seven and eight and nine and ten twelve well some people want to know what they are ah I'll just read them to you real quickly number one God's Word is medicine number two a strong spirit will sustain you number three God's original creation number four God's will in heaven number five the origin of sickness and disease number six sickness is the work of the devil not my words Bible words number seven we have a covenant of healing number eight the eternal names of God how many believe he still is Jehovah Rapha I am the Lord who heals you number nine sickness is a curse number 10 the types of redemption and number 11 and we got happy about this last week healing is part of redemption by His stripes we were and are healed Oh glory to God don't do anything for you last week I said I'm still stirred up over mmm can we go on from there you think this God have more for us go back to Scripture we looked at 2nd Corinthians 1 and let's go on the reason number 12 tonight and my counting rights like what you got reason number 12 we're turned into 2nd Corinthians the first chapter second Corinthians 1 2nd Corinthians 1 we saw this in talking about Redemption and we saw this in types of Redemption and it continues in this reason 2nd Corinthians 1 and 21:20 says for all the promises of God in him are yes and in him are men unto the glory of God by us how many of the promises of God all of them that God is able to say yes to people and that they are fulfilled they're all fulfilled in Jesus right read the rest of that passage you see him that they're referring to is Jesus Jesus and we said this don't don't let this just rush past your mind now don't assume that you know it and everybody knows this this is a biggie right here I'm saying to you from the scripture that I believe you will see without question from the Word of God that there is no blessing available to mankind except through Jesus that every person that was ever blessed are helped are delivered or healed or benefited or protected in the Old Testament was based on what Jesus was going to do that every sacrifice every lamb every goat every bull every sheep pointed to the spotless lamb and Hebrews tells us that all those offerings could not take away sin all they did was cover it for that time and was pointing towards something that would take it away and that now everybody that is helped and delivered and protected and prospered and benefited of God is all because of what Jesus has already done that there is no blessing no benefit at all not even one available to mankind except through Jesus now if that is true then if anybody has ever been healed it was based on what Jesus has done right some people try to say well God can do anything and if he sees fit to do it for you then he'll do it for you but it's not necessarily part of what Jesus bought and paid for I cannot accept that hmm basically what they're saying then is it wasn't necessary for Jesus to go to the cross and do those things because if God could do one thing apart from the work of redemption why couldn't he do something else and when Jesus prayed and sweat drops of blood and said father if there is any other way if there's any other way let this cup pass from me don't you know if there was he would have told him he would have allowed it there was no other way there is no other way then there is no other name under heaven whereby men must be saved people call us naira politically incorrect you mean you don't acknowledge these other religions as just other ways that people are getting to God I can't be a Christian and believe that by very nature of what a Christian is a real Christian has to believe the Bible right and the Bible says there is no other way there is no other way no other way no other name no other salvation salvation in no other we all are narrow and saved the the way to salvation is the straight and narrow there is a broad way and there's a lot of folks that go in it and the way end of it is destruction the Bible says there's a lot of people patting yourself on the back and we're okay and I'm okay and you're okay and you can believe in this and you can pray to a rock and you can do this and you can believe in that you leavin we're all headed for the same place no we're not no I'm sorry I know people want to believe that but it is not true if you believe the Bible and we do some things you know we can you know be tolerant about and you still get to heaven believe in some other things but there are certain things we cannot even be open to discussing them elsewise we're not believers ourselves the virgin birth are you with me no discussion about that if you don't believe it you're lost and here's another one and we're getting into this the resurrection so resurrection you really think Jesus literally physically raised from the dead if you don't believe it you're not saved it is one of those things that is essential you can't be em well I'm just having trouble with that then you are lost you're not saved hmm and have you noticed that it's under attack globally and in the media you know you got thing after thing of people trying to tell you Jesus was just a man a man that lived and died man we had some wonderful teachings and some things you can live by but it's not really and then people are trying to tell well it's not really necessary I mean whether you believe in the miracle of this or that is not the main thing it's his teachings don't you follow for that life I said don't you fall for that life Christianity is not just another belief system it is eternal life come on now Christianity is not just another religion it's not just another where we live our life by this set of beliefs no no we believe in the new birth we believe in resurrection this is immediate really makes that much difference yes if Jesus was not born of a virgin and did not raise from the dead Christianity is a lie and there's nothing to it it all rests on it come on did you hear me but I am not sweating tonight whether he really did raise from the dead he's lies he was dead and he is alive right now seated at the right hand of Majesty in heaven and he's coming again soon and every eye will see him glory to God and every knees gonna bow and every tongue is gonna confess and there's going to be no more question about did he raised from the dead but smart people confess now believe now bow their knee now now in this life how many of the blessings of God are available to mankind through Jesus all the promises of God everything that God ever said he would do for man has found their fulfillment in Jesus now I know I tend to get excited about this and kind of rave a little bit but I'm telling you to me Jesus is everything he's everything he's everything and to slight him at all or to try to make less of him or him less necessary in any degree is completely unacceptable to me I will not entertain it he is everything do you believe it or not Jesus is everything the father has given him the name above every name made him king of all Kings Lord of all Lords right made him to be the head of the church he is it he's everything he's the Alpha the Omega the beginning and the end and everything in between he's it he's my hero he's my Savior my Lord my healer my provider my deliverer of my protector my Redeemer he's everything he's everything he's everything and the reason I say that I don't know if you noticed or not but people are making less of Jesus churches are people that are supposed to be Christian I guess they forgot what that first part of that word is Christ I am Christian what's a Christian without Christ nothing he's everything I said he's everything and if you don't believe in miracles you're not a Christian I don't know what you are but you're not a Christian because Christianity is born out of miracles are you listening continued in miracles and is going to conclude in miracles go with me if you would too how to do it first Corinthians 15 risen number 12 tonight we are sure sure sure sure sure that it is God's will for all of us to be healed tonight here now because of the first fruits of the Resurrection the first fruits of the resurrection another way of saying it is the earnest of our inheritance we are now in the heart of this thing can you see it with Redemption last week and now that we're not just in the heart of healing we're in the heart of the gospel we're in the heart of redemption in the heart of Christianity and healing because healing is part and parcel of it healings right in the middle of it all you got to do is look at Jesus ministry huh I mean if gee if the will of God was really like some people tried to portray then Jesus would've rarely if ever ministered healing to people because it's just not that important to God because this physical body is not really what he's interested in he's interested in the spirit but I seem to notice Jesus having healing lines that lasted all day is that right and people bring in thousands of people from all the surrounding towns and he'll ministered to him from early to late how many can see if you read the four gospel accounts healing was a big part of Jesus ministry he spent a lot of time talking about it he spent a lot of time ministering it you know why because everything he said and everything he did was a direct revelation of God's will for Humanity God who never changes and if that was his will then it's his will now he hasn't changed the body matters to God this body the one you got right here and right now it matters to God now and it matters to him in the future well go to first Corinthians 6 then we'll go to Ephesians then we'll go I think to the other 1st Corinthians 6:11 he talked about people being all these kind of things that are not good and he said verse 11 such were some of you but you are washed and you are sanctified now sometimes people try to say well I'm just an old sinner saved by grace no you were don't say you are a sinner unscriptural bad confession hmm no as much as well I seen yesterday well you know just because you did something one time doesn't mean you are one mm-hmm we did a trip the other day and we were coming back somewhere and I let Dave take the wheel on the airplane and he flew for vital no five ten minutes but Dave's not a pilot you don't necessarily want to load your family in the plane behind him and go to go somewhere across the country now he could become that if that's what the Lord led him to do but just because he flew doesn't mean he's a pilot did you say yeah we were by herself it's right we were fine though we're fine you know just because you sinned doesn't make you a sinner that that is who you are in your spirit and that is your lifestyle come on now can you see this before you were saved you were that's what your nature was but not now notice don't you like this right here verse 11 such were were underlying that word if you hadn't got it or such were some of you you were that but you are here's what you are not not sinners you are washed you are sanctified you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God you are as my say I am glory to God now keep on reading verse 12 all things are lawful to me but all things are not expedient all things are lawful for me but I'll not be brought under the power of any meats are food for the belly and the belly for food but God shall destroy both it and them how many know that everything you see is only here for a small amount of time all of its going to be gone now the body is not for fornication but for the Lord and Lord the Lord for the body God has both raised up the Lord and will also raise up us by his own power Oh glory to God what are we talking about we tell you first he's talking about the body which body the body you can commit fornication with this one the one you got right here right now and he said your body is not made for that then why was it necessary to say that because people will tell you well why did God give me a desire why did God give me this sex drive and when it got you know it must be natural no no it's got to be controlled hmm like numerous things and you were not just made for that sex is not necessary to have a normal life did you hear me you know young people unmarried single people older people that are not married they needed me try to tell you where you can't be healthy you know unless you have sex you have needs no your body's not just made for that your body was made for the Lord did you hear me and there's nothing wrong with sex between husband and wife in the holy union of marriage and people can enjoy themselves and that's alright but it's not necessary to have a fulfilled life elsewise what about Jesus did you hear me what about others it's not necessary and if you are single do yourself a favor and don't watch and listen to and feed on and read stuff about sex and stir yourself up for no reason well we're getting to it now I guess make it easy on yourself don't don't watch stuff don't listen to it don't read it why because the more you feed something the stronger it gets the more you feed those desires the stronger they gonna get but if you don't feed them they'll get weaker and weaker and they won't bother you everybody's human everybody's got a body everybody's got desires the desire should be controlled don't believe the lie well it's unhealthy unless I have sex no you can be fulfilled sex is not necessary did you hear me married people married people married people you're supposed to have a sex life Bible said do you know not defraud one another didn't it hmm well somebody said well you know my wife she's gonna got to holy my my husband's got to holy and the only hadn't had relations in a year wrong that's wrong that's against the word did you hear me but people who are not married that's another situation and that's what I'm talking about you know you're not married and the enemy are trying to tell you well you're unhealthy and you got all this tension and hey you you need to have sex you have needs he's a liar your body's not just made for that it's not why you have a body your body is for the Lord and the Lord the one who raised up Jesus what else is gonna happen did you read that verse come on read it out loud to me the one who raised Jesus up is gonna do what raised this body this one this one up are you ready to get excited tonight now keep reading verse 15 are you there verse 15 read it out loud what does know you not mean don't you know now if the Lord said don't you know what what could you figure a lot of people don't know if the Lord says don't you know why would he say it don't you know your bodies which body this body right now the one you could commit fornication with this this body is what the member of Christ this body this body is a member of Christ now see they're all kind of groups are trying to tell you oh no no now your spirit your spirit is a part of Christ but this whole sinful flesh you know it's decaying and one of these days it's going to be gone and really it's not all that important this flesh and there's a there's not too short too long of a stretch from there to saying well if you do some stuff with your body it's just the old body it's not really that big of a deal because it's your spirit no those are lies I said those are lies your body has been it goes on to saying this for your passage has been bought and paid for not just your spirit your body this body said out loud this body this body is a member of Christ it is a permanent part of Christ now people say oh no I don't like this body I'm I'm getting rid of this one and I'm getting a new one I'm gonna have a new body well that's true and not true depending on what you mean by that new body you're talking about is going to be this one this one glorified this one now some people think well I don't I don't like that because I really don't like myself I don't like my but I assure you once the glory flows over it you're gonna be fine with it you don't be concerned once the power of God flows over it it's going to be changed on the atomic level the cellular level hmm scripture says so and it will never again be subject to aging or weakness or does it this body this body oh we gonna be able to do some stuff [Music] Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father in his flesh and bone body isn't that right remember after he was after he was raised from the dead he told the disciples touch me handle me a spirit does not have flesh and bone like you see me and they touched him and they put their hands on him just like you could put your hand on your own hand and touched his body Jesus is sitting at the right hand of Majesty in that body and the Bible says that he is going to change your body and my body like unto his glorious body the same change that happened on his body is about to happen on ours not too many days from then if that don't stir you up you just are not listening or something I mean this this this is big stuff now you know there are people who think oh y'all are just getting worked up and y'all has got all these imaginations no it's either true or it's a lie there's no in-between on it I am fully convinced it is the gospel truth it is reality a man who was brother Oral Roberts one of his head guys in his crusade team had a heart attack and died suddenly and he died you know clinically dead well his wife got to him as quick as she could and she began to yell come back Jesus name she called him back no you don't know if you don't leave me now come back and she's calling him and he was gone I don't know how long they said he was dead clinically no heartbeat no nothing you know and they finally got him back and and when they got him back he came to us so the first thing he said when he looked at hers why did you do that what why did she say what do you mean other would you he said mm-hmm he said if it ever happens again leave me alone don't don't do it he said let me tell you what I was doing he was an athlete in his younger years but he had gotten older and hadn't been so in such good shape for a long time he said I don't know where I was at he said but I was on this road by this beautiful fence and there was this this landscape I can't describe it was just glorious and beautiful and I was walking and I decided to run and he said not started running and he said I'd and then I begin to run and I begin to run like I used to when I was young he said then I began running like I ain't never run in my life and he said I've run he said I don't know how fast I was going he said I was I was moving he said and I was just going oh god he don't know how fast I'm going and then he said I woke up who was hurting [Applause] he said I started hurting and hurting and I woke up and I'm in this body Jesus in his body appeared to the disciples didn't he he ate fish and bread didn't he he ain't that's that's a good word for a lot of folks in the yeah I'm gonna be able to eat later yeah Jesus did and he he could move quickly from one place to the other he he came fed they were shut up in there in locked doors and he came through the wall some women and yet this body you can feel it just like you can this one it's gonna be different though it's gonna be changed did you see this verse right here your body is a member of Christ how did you become a member of Christ you believed on Jesus and you were born again the Bible said the Spirit of God has baptized you which means placed into or immersed in into not water the body of Christ first Corinthians what is it twelve or so you've you've been placed into the body of Christ that's what water baptism is a type of just like your body was put into the element and the the world of water you have been put into Christ when you believed on him not just your spirit Jesus didn't just go to the cross in spirit his body was there he offered his spirit for your spirit he offered his soul for your soul he offered his body for your body he bought you and me spirit and soul and body we are redeemed spirit and soul and body somebody said my body's redeemed my body's bruh deemed my body's part of Christ now he goes on to say here he said he's telling him because they had huge problems with fornication and adultery in this church at Corinth they were used to part of their worship being orgies and now they heard the gospel and they got saved but that stuff is still going on around in their communities and different ones of them sliding back into it and some people come along and said well it's just the body and he's telling him the Holy Ghost through Paul is going hey what what don't you know your body is a part of Christ are you gonna take part of Christ and join it with harlots and idolatry and then what he went on to say in this passage your body somebody say this body is a part of Christ he winds up by saying in verse 19 don't you know what somebody say what what don't you know your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you you have of God you are not your own you are bought with the price what do you mean you so he specify he qualifies it therefore glorify God in your body and in your so he didn't have to say both but he did why because this body is important to him the one you got right now this one this body is important to him he cares about it and redemption has been made for this body now go with me to actually go to first Corinthians 15 you're there nearby and we'll see about Ephesians 1 later but first Corinthians 15 first Corinthians 15 and one he said moreover brethren I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you which you have received and wherein you stand by which also you are saved you're saved by hearing and receiving and believing in standing in this gospel if you keep in memory what I preached to you unless you have believed in vain for I delivered to you first of all that which I received how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures and that he was seen of Cephas and then of the twelve after that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at one time of whom the greater part remain unto this present but some are fallen asleep that if some have physically died now these people saw Jesus when when's he talking about they saw him Peter saw him the rest of the twelve saw him and five hundred people at one time saw him after what after he was crucified and died and was buried and everybody knew he was dead that's why it's one reason of course it fulfilled Scripture but I imagine in that soldier's mind that's one reason he took that spear and jammed it up in his side to go through his ribs and try to get to his heart and his organs to make sure he was dead make sure and everybody knew he was dead but according to the scriptures came me sick he kept saying according to the scriptures I preached to this you know he died according to the scriptures he was buried according to the scriptures and according to the scriptures he rose from the dead he rose from the dead now people so you really believe that with every fiber of my be it is the culmination of the gospel it is the the heart and the fulfillment of the truth the scripture said after that he was seen of James then of all the apostles last of all he was seen of me as one born out of due time I'm the least of the Apostles and not meat to be called an apostle because I persecuted the Church of God but by the grace of God I am what I am and His grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain I've labored more abundantly than they are yet not i but the grace of God which is with me now whether I are they so we preach and so you believed now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the Dead other people saying this today hmm I mean it's a prominent thing people are writing books they're doing TV series they're making movies and they're saying Jesus was just a man you know what's this most recent recent thing have you heard they said one guys trying to say he found Jesus burial and his bones and that the bones of Mary Magdalene's in there too is any what he's trying to say first of all how could they ever try to prove such a thing what could they use to test DNA how could you make such a claim well people you know people that have an agenda don't have to have any proof they just think up stuff and tell it of course if it sells books and makes money who you know and people say what about that you think maybe that him and Mary Magdalene secretly married and had kids no way no way if Jesus would have wanted to get married he got married he wouldn't hit it are you listening now missus well maybe he did if he did he was just a man if he if he tried to hide and deceive and cover then he wasn't Jesus of the Bible well what if he really did just dine and you know he just a man they crucified him and what if he really did and and that they did find his bones didn't you oughta never go to another church again ain't nothing to it but I'm telling you nobody's ever found it and nobody ever will cuz he ain't there I said he's not there he's not there he did raise from the dead now you hear people talking well you know does it why does it have to be such an issue it is the issue it is all right you know I don't believe in strife and I don't believe in discord you you know we've talked about these kind of things but friend you cannot be so-called open-minded about this you cannot be you cannot yeah well I just want to be cordial and show folks that I can't entertain their opinion you best not you better not Jesus was raised physically from the dead his bones are not in any tune his bones are in his body he is in his body you know what he said touch me handle me a spirit doesn't have flesh and bone so I know right where his bones are his bones are in his body and he's in his body hmm and he goes on to say verse 13 if there be no resurrection of the dead then Christ is not risen and if Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain your faith is vain and we're found false witnesses of God because we testified of God that he raised up Christ whom he raised not up if so be that the dead rise not if the dead rise not then is not Christ raised what's the other side of that what if Christ is raised then other dead are raised there's there's no surprise why the devil is trying to muddy the waters on this because this is it if he really was raised from the dead he has power over death and over sin and this life is not all there is and if you believe on him you can raise - Oh glory to God it's the culmination of the gospel it's the pinnacle of the good news he was raised from the dead and because he was we will be we will be either change that is coming or if we live out our life and our body dies then we'll be raised from the dead I said we'll be raised from the dead we this body this body no matter where it is we'll be raised from the dead and glorified mrs. Wayne I thought was talking about healing brother Keith why are you talking so much about this if we believe God could do this to the body it shouldn't be much of a stretch to believe he could do a little repair work on it in this life down here to keep us going until we get to that huh if we believed he could raise a body that is completely decomposed and you can't even find where it is because there's bodies of saints that have been dead for centuries their bodies of saints that were lost at sea sharks got them where is their body they're Saints that died in the Sahara bones were bleached decomposed the materialised is blown to the four corners of the earth where is their body it's still here God knows where every cell is it's still here he put it together the first time he knows how to reassemble it huh and wouldn't it be glorious to be alive and remaining because the Bible said the dead in Christ are going to rise first we would get to see that well we're still alive it could happen it could happen mm-hmm glory to God hallelujah verse 9 to 20 now is Christ risen from the dead how many believed the Bible he is and he has become the firstfruits of them that slept if theirs didn't say only fruit if theirs first what is their second a third and a fourth and nine millionth and huh you're in there somewhere I'm in there somewhere for since by man came death by man also came the resurrection of the dead as in Adam all die even so in Christ shall all be made alive our people dying are all men on the earth dying then as surely as that's happening people are gonna be raised from the dead that's what he said because what happened in Adam is not more powerful than what happened in Jesus he said every man in his own order Christ the firstfruits afterward they which are Christ's at his coming he is coming then comes the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom of God even the father when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power for he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death we have never known in existence without death everything around us dies it's always been that way from the time we came in here flowers died trees die animals die people die everything's dying oh but do you believe the Bible do you believe the Bible that everything's gonna be changed and when it is there will be no more sorrow no more pain no more crying and no more dying no more no more no more no more I I still in Phyllis some time back I was asking the Lord a question I said Lord how how do you put up with this to my all the pain that is in the earth how do you put up with it Lord because he is love nobody's touched more than him nobody cares more than him I said Lord how do you tolerate the pain of the innocence and the pain of the people in there how how do you tolerate it and he said well one thing I'm told not an audible voice but inside me say one thing Keith it is very brief this is the shortest thing we'll ever do and you think to us 30 years seems like a long time a year seems like a long time to have a problem and have difficulty a week but what about to someone that a thousand years is like a day there are some rough and some bad things going on but very very brief it's vapor it's here it's gone it's over in our light affliction which is but for a moment well we were to Canada a small and trivial thing and go hot we'll soon be out of here don't worry about it right so don't get hung up don't bother don't pace the floor and pull your hair hey we'll soon be out too the whole deal besides that God will give us victory today right get us from here to there hallelujah go to Ephesians 1 please verse 11 in whom we have obtained and inheritance have we obtained an inheritance in Christ verse 10 says in Christ we've obtained an inheritance being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will that we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ in whom you also trusted after that you heard the word of the truth the gospel of your salvation and whom also after you believed you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise which is our who is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession unto the praise of his glory is our body included in the work of redemption is our body included in the in our future in Christ in the future our body has been bought and paid for when the Lord redeemed us he redeemed us completely spirit soul body every part he bore the chastisement of our peace right that affects our mental and solar Karev's he became poor so we could be rich that affects our material and financial world by stripes were healed right he bore our iniquities he carried our sins isn't that right he didn't he didn't just go to the cross in spirit he went spirit soul and body and he redeemed us spirit soul and body how many believe your body has been redeemed and that because of the redemption of your body you will either be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye or you will be raised from the dead this body this one right here and your body is going to be changed like unto the Lord Jesus glorious body and you gonna have it from now on and you can be able to do all kind of amazing things finally you'll have a body that can keep up with your spirit some people say why don't wonder could I do this when I could I do that wonder could I do this do you remember what brother Jesse said he kept hearing in heaven he'd ask you know what about this what about he said the angel to tell him here every desire is met so if it's always been a desire of yours get ready every desires every desire now what's going to happen to this body him we shall be changed we moved from first Corinthians to quick didn't go back there first Corinthians 15 so much so we shall be changed we shall be changed verse 15 well verse 49 first Corinthians 15 49 as we have borne the image of the earthy is that happening right now hmm then as sure as this is happening right now we shall also bear the image of the heavenly just like you got a body right now that was like Adam's fallen body after sin just as surely as this is so there's gonna come a time when you're gonna have a body like Jesus body now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither does corruption inherit incorruption the world to come is too glorious to drag this flesh into and yet this body's been bought and paid for so what you got to do I mean you can't you can't leave it out and you can't take it in like it is only one thing left to do it's got to be changed this body has to be changed how's it going to be changed he said verse 50 corruption doesn't inherit incorruption behold I show you a mystery we shall not all sleep not everybody's gonna die there's gonna be some people alive and remaining when he comes they they physically won't die but you shall we shall all be changed living our bodies been in the grave for 300 years either way it's got to be changed this body's got to be changed it's going to happen like this oh come on I know you've heard it before but it's so true it's so wonderful it's gonna happen just like this in a moment in the twinkling of an eye show me an eye twinkle I'll show your neighbour and I twinkle how's it work say just like that just in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last Trump for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed it's gonna happen it's gonna happen sure as you're sitting here sure as this Bible is true sure as God is real you gonna hear that trumpet it's going to be a sound like you ain't never heard before and not just your ears gonna hear it every part of you is going to hear it the dead bodies in the graves are gonna hear that sound and they're gonna respond to that sound you know what the scripture said the dead are going to hear his voice this trumpet is a voice glory to God the dead in Christ are going to hear it hallelujah glory to God like I was saying wouldn't it be neat to be alive and you hear that sound and all these bodies start coming out and saints bodies that were scattered to the four winds come boom together I don't care if different parts of their bodies were in different continents they're gonna fly through the air and they're gonna come back together and the glory of God is gonna come over at the same glory that raised Jesus from the dead on the third day is gonna come over the body just like it did Jesus and you are gonna stand there you're not gonna stand there with our mouth open we're gonna go Chloe Chloe Chloe hi and about that time as it finishes up that power is gonna hit us it's gonna happen to them first dead in Christ will rise first and then it's gonna hit us I don't know if it'll start in our head and flow down on our feet and flow up or just hit us all at once I don't know I don't know but I know this is gonna hit you it's gonna hit you it's gonna flow through you it's gonna flow over you and there's gonna be no more wrinkles no more perfections no more too fat too thin too young too old to anything everything is going to be just right perfect perfect everything is going to be at its maximum prime is perfection Oh glory to God and you're gonna go now this is what I'm talking about right here yeah yeah this this is what I always wanted when I was on the earth and we all look at each other and go you look good you look good dude and why this is going to happen we'll be caught up together with them in the air and so shall we always an ever be with the Lord and with each other never be separated again from him our each other this is something to look forward to I said this is something to look forward to now back to Ephesians 1 and also second Corinthians 4 find that we go to Ephesians then we go to 2nd Corinthians 4 I think did you know this a lot about this in the Bible there's a lot about this in the New Testament there is no gospel without this there is no real Christianity without this this is the heart of Christianity Isaiah not right now if Ephesians this is all in Isaiah do you know that Jesus saw himself in the scriptures in Isaiah member last week we talked about Isaiah saw in the spirit centuries ahead and saw all this happened didn't he but for now ephesians and 1 now had to lay the foundation for that to get to this part some said what's that got to do with healing brother Keith it's got everything to do with healing is your body bought and paid for this one is it a member of Christ is your body this body physical body is it included in God's eternal plan of redemption yes this body God God didn't have to do it that way but he knew it was the best way and then the way he wanted it done and so this body the body you were born the body you came from your mother's womb with is precious to him and he has bought it and he has paid for it and he has even made arrangements so that every vestige of sin and the curse can be removed from it and so that it can be a glorious body this one this one just like Jesus has right now if it is part of the no notes he didn't say in 1st Corinthians 6 it's gonna be part of Christ what did he say it is right now it is part of Christ if it wasn't important whether there were disease and sickness in the body Jesus wouldn't have gone about doing good and healing all who were oppressed he wouldn't spit all that time praying ministering to people and laying hands on people would he if it didn't matter there's so mortal bodies about to sin to be going anyway it's no big deal you know just love God in your spirit but denominations and Christians and people all over the world try to say you some variation of that all this old body you know you ever heard that kind of talk all this old body it's just thank God well these days I'm gonna be done with this thing get me a new one no it's this one that has been bought and paid for and it's going to be glorified this one that's wise he could just leave them all in the grave leave him where they are exactly spirit up to heaven fit you with a new one up there right it's not how he's doing it why raise the dead kua bring them out of their graves because he cares about this body he gave you this body don't despise your body you are fearfully and wonderfully made this body is a marvel we tell you know people tend to take it for granted because it's with you every day and you see it and long as everything's working right it's just like you know ho-hum and all you notice is you know something that's not working quite right this thing no man has ever made anything like this this is amazing this body and it is in a fallen state it's in a fallen decaying state it's nothing like what it was made to be oh but God is gonna change it and put it back right and then it's going to be that way for eternity now in Ephesians 1 there is a phrase that we got to it I want you to notice it again if even's want we're there what in about verse 11 or so we've obtained an inheritance down in verse 13 we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise is that the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead yes is that the same Holy Spirit that Jesus was anointed with that heal the sick I'm gonna ask you that again and we talking about the same Holy Ghost that Jesus was anointed with to heal the sick was the one who raised his body from the dead same Holy Ghost yes yes you know what the scripture said acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost the Holy Spirit and power and he went about raising people from the dead well it happened but that's not what the scripture said and that was you know he didn't do that everywhere he wasn't here it is he got acts 10:38 did y'all get it how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with him healing healing then later Bible said he was raised from the dead by the same spirit could Noah need him to heal healing bodies raising bodies from the dead healing bodies and raising bodies from the dead is there any connection there at all well why would he have a right to heal a body if anybody's ever been healed what was it done based on what Jesus was going to do or he's already done now we're all looking back to it's already done when he bought and paid for your resurrection your healing was included in that now you got to stay with me just a minute get that settled in you let me say it again when he bought and paid for your resurrection he also bought your healing why because he bought your body he bought your body giving him the legal right to do anything to the body from quickening you a little bit to healing you to putting new organs in all the way up to raising you from the dead now hitting them look at this phrase when you heard the word of the truth the gospel of your salvation after you believed you were sealed with that holy spirit of promise who is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession to the praise of his glory him in you now is the earnest anybody know what earnest is you know it really is sad how ignorant we are of all this it's sad how ignorant we as the body of Christ or of this what is earnest for one thing is something you got right now in this life in the person of the Holy Spirit if you look up the word earnest in mine Greek that was modern at the time it was written it has the connotation and idea of an engagement ring an engagement ring is not a wedding ring but a real engagement and a real engagement ring means something what does it mean now there are some nice engagement rings you know 10-carat there are some offer engagement rates there are some hugely expensive engagement rings and it wouldn't have to be a ring we think ring but in different cultures they've been all kind of presence everything from castles to counties and everything in between but what was the engagement gift or took what was the earnest it was a relatively small part now of what's the rest is going to follow later the earnest of our inheritance are the firstfruits of our inheritance is a relatively small portion that we've got right now that is representative of the rest of what we're going to get later and it's in the Holy Spirit who's in us I could get excited this is not earnest is not buying by earnest is not when we all get to heaven earnest is now right here right here right now earnest is now now you get to wear the engagement ring before you get married and if it was an engagement gift you get to drive the engagement car before you get married you get to live in the engagement house if it was an engagement gift you get to enjoy it right now you're not to wait man there's a whole nother wonderful teaching in this he is the bridegroom we are the bride and we have not at all seen what the pride is going to come into at the end of this thing but right now we got to earnest that we can enjoy here and now and that really is needful to help us to get to the end of this to get to the rest of it second Corinthians four is there healing in this what would earn Asturian be think about it this is old joy in your spirit no I don't think so we're told my earnest of physical resurrection you get earnest of other things too but what would the earnest of your physical resurrection be it would be a taste of resurrection power to come wouldn't it it'd be a taste it wouldn't be the whole thing no no no well I'm just gonna believe they get my whole self resurrected right now no you're not you're not gonna get ahead of us so uh if you go back and read that passage first Corinthians 15 it said then we'll be brought to pass the saying death is swallowed up a victory he tells it gives a focus of a time when it's going to happen you and I can't claim a resurrection of our flesh today there have been people that tried over the centuries this say well I'm gonna believe God and never die physically and you know where they all are dead physically no you are not going to believe to live down here a thousand years or whenever a long as it takes to Jesus comes no you're not the days of man the Bible said will be 120 years that's what the approximate maximum that a man or woman could stand to expect and live for you also have you know the word that you can live till you're satisfied and I don't want to be down here 500 years no no I do want to finish my job and finish my race and not not leave early and not leave stuff undone for other people that pick up the slack but the fullness of the Resurrection is going to happen but do we have earnestly that we have an earnest is it true we have a part like an engagement gift that we can enjoy right here and now look at a second Corinthians 4 he said in 2nd Corinthians 14 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus 2nd Corinthians 14 that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body don't try to spiritual eyes that some other way he's talking about the life of Jesus being made manifest in your body somebody said I love the life of Jesus manifested in my body we which live are always done to death for Jesus sake that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh she can't say it any plainer than that once your flesh is glorified it won't be immortal anymore it'll be immortal this gonna happen to your mortal flesh it's got to happen now can the life of Jesus be manifested in your mortal flesh yes yes skip down to chapter 5 a lot of people read this passage at funerals but they stopped a verse are too short I want you to wrote you see what verse I'm talking about he said we know that if our earthly house of this Tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens in this we groan earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven sometimes people say well what we even need a body for no you need a house God gave you a house it's good to have a house your body is your house he said verse 4 we that are in this tabernacle do groan being burden not that we would be unclothed but clothed upon that mortality might be swallowed up of life now he that has wrought for us the self same thing is God who also has given unto us what'd he give us he gave us the earnest oh come on come on of what now why did he talk about that in connection with your body why talk about that the earnest of your inheritance for your body includes the quickening of this mortal flesh the life of Jesus being made manifest in this mortal body how would that affect you would it heal you would it pep you up would it strengthen you now you're not gonna be able to claim the whole thing right now I'm in school I'm I'm just gonna believe God my whole body has changed from corruptible to incorruptible now you can't claim it right now that's going to happen later Bible said then it's gonna be brought to pass what you can do though is claim your earnest claim the firstfruits of it and you can have my father in the faith brother Hagin used to say this a mini quickening mi ni what do you mean little mini resurrection you're gonna mean little a little mini resurrection in your kidney oh come on come on little little mini little mini resurrection in your heart or in your liver right in your blood in your immune system a little quickening little quick me the Holy Spirit's already in there he's the ones gonna raise your whole body from the dead one day why couldn't he just reach over and touch you touch you long a little bit zip zip why kidney why couldn't he touch your gland why couldn't he touch your you your blood vessels your heart your bone your joint your nerves why couldn't he touch him and just a little quick mingle hmm glory to God and he said that's just a little bitty bitty taste and what you're gonna get one day but it's enough to sustain us in this life Heelys strengthen us keep us go to Romans 8 I think I'm close with this but we ought to shout about it real good before we do Oh glory to God if you believe in the resurrection you're not having trouble believing in this huh if you believe God could really change your body from Mortal to immortal and from corruptible to incorruptible you shouldn't have any trouble believing he could heal it and it's all part and parcel of the same thing you just can't claim all of that right now but you've already been given an earnest a first fruit in earnest glory to God we need to meditate on this more but it is reason number 12 why we're sure it's God's will for all of us to be healed today why cuz of the earnest of our inheritance the firstfruits a little foretaste of the resurrection anybody ever had any quickening you ever had any healing had it didn't you no that's exactly what it is I've had insight you know you've heard me tell some of the stories I won't necessarily go into all of it but there's been times I mean I was so tired I was so fatigued and yet I wasn't through I had something else I needed to do in Kingdom work and you shouldn't just push yourself for no reason because you still buddy still is mortal but there are times when you need to do you need to go on and there have been times I did not feel like I could do it like I could drag another foot in front and the Spirit of God just come on you and just quicken and you begin to get to doing it and get anointed and just forget about being tired and just be able to do it and be quicker what is that that's a little taste that's a little taste of what's coming down the road for us well that'll heal you that'll hear you that'll strengthen you that I'll sustain you that'll enable you look at Romans 8 Romans 8 verse 11 anybody got it marked Romans 8:11 was it safe if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you what will happen I'll read to God we talk about the same Holy Ghost that was in that tomb that morning same Holy Ghost that flowed over Jesus body that was cold and stiff and dead and changed his body until he reinterred it and walked out of that place never to die again that same spirit lives day and night in you that spirit lives in me it's the same Holy Ghost who's going to resurrect this body later on who's going to change this by same one well if he can do all that why couldn't he give us a little SAP every now and then here and now to help us make it through do our job he can he well it belongs to you it's your honest if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you stand on your feet please Oh
