to do and that is to teach to preach to minister uh to all people and what a what a great way to do it by sharing a revelation that we've had with others so today the message that i would like to share today that really um really impacted me and the reason i want to share this is because you know in in ministry since i've been doing this i don't even know how many years now but anyway i've noticed that so many people like myself are looking for a physical change in their bodies to confirm that they were or are healed i should say and uh you know there's nothing wrong with that i'm just saying that there's something much better than that i discovered uh i discovered also through this ministry that i have been doing is that um that is a hindrance for most people just like it was for me see i had many people pray for me people that had seen awesome miracles uh and uh you know in their own lives and in ministry to other people but it never seemed to work for me and uh i had a lot of people praying for me you know uh that knew about my situation and uh so uh i just want to relate this point was that the prayers although the bible says that they're important and there is a place for prayer prayer was not the answer for me and uh it was just uh to be honest with you it became a like a frustration to me to the point where i just would tell people you know hey don't pray for me it's okay uh because it just uh it just made me discouraged inside another person would pray for me and then nothing would happen and so what i want to share about is i believe i titled this healing healed and feel like it and see when i was very sick let me just relate this one little story to you that i'm gonna kind of jump off of and that is uh at the end of my journey i i've shared with all of you uh in the past and you can uh go to my website and get more details on this i'm just gonna give you a small version of it but uh you know during my journey i was uh very much in the word i was grace and faith probably 90 word of faith 10 grace you know a little shot of grace in there but uh the burden i felt like for healing was on me i felt like it was my faith that was going to change my situation i felt like it was what i was believing or not believing what i was doing or not doing all of those things and i felt within myself that burden to accomplish that and i laid aside the healing that was already mine in christ because in in this sense is i knew that what the scriptures taught i knew that by jesus stripes i was healed but the disconnect that i had in my mind and heart was wait a minute uh i still have these symptoms so each time someone would pray for me and there wouldn't be a change within a you know a few weeks i would say failed again okay how many of you have done that but man look at all those hands yeah and so i i went on like that for like seven years to the point where now i was i never had a peace or a witness to uh follow through with what the doctors suggested for me i knew that that just wasn't for me so uh as i'm going on in this journey and i'm getting sicker and sicker along in the journey and the symptoms are really compounding they're not just gradually getting worse they're starting to compound to where what before i thought was just a surface uh affliction i was feeling things on the inside of me going wrong and uh and that weakness to where at you know at some points it was like you know i made myself do whatever i was doing uh you know and towards the end of that you know in that eight year journey mid point not midpoint but like seven and a half years into that i really threw in the towel and here's how i threw in the towel i didn't quit on god and i didn't quit on healing but what i quit on was what i thought was necessary to receive healing okay once again prayer relying on brothers and sisters in christ looking to a word from this or that a word from god i gave up on all those things that i was taught that i read in all the healing books that i read and i just finally got to the end and uh what brought me to that end was a very important scripture i if i read it once i read it a thousand times was uh mark 11 but a parallel scripture one day i was reading in in matthew 21 verse 22 and loosely paraphrased it says this what things so ever you desire when you pray believing you receive and that day i just read it backwards that came to my heart to read it backwards and you know i do that a lot with the word i read things backwards because uh i don't know maybe it's you know my analytical thinking or what i learned in grade school you know about they give you the answer and then it's it's uh x plus one equals two and then you subtract the one from the two you do it backwards and you get the other number so anyway that's i do that a lot with the word i say well if it says this how did it get to that and so that's what that's what i did that day when i read that verse i read it what things so ever you desire when you pray believing you receive so i read it like this if you have received you have believed now mind you this is very important i had read much uh in the from the body of christ on uh you know not putting people under the condemnation that they're responsible for what they believe and they're not going to get healed because they're not believing okay so i had this going on in my head along with the other opposite of that was that god responds to me according to my faith but now here i'm reading this verse in matthew 21 verse 22 and i read it backwards if you have received you have believed and i thought to myself wait a minute jesus said that and jesus also said to that man in mark 9 23 he said if thou canst believe all things are possible to the one who believes so i thought to myself jesus is saying this so jesus is not putting a burden on us what is he doing by communicating to that he's telling us something no different than we read in the law deuteronomy 30 19 which says i set before you this day life and death blessing and cursing and he says choose life that you might live and the way we choose is by what we believe and so i thought to myself wait a minute if that's what the scriptures say that i haven't received i i was honest with myself i said you know i haven't received if i had received i would be going the other direction i wouldn't be continuing on in sickness and getting worse and worse so i said i obviously have not received so if the if the equation is you know uh receiving is a result of believing then i didn't believe and i was just honest with myself before god and i said father i i just haven't believed and i said i'm not sure i know how to believe and in that moment our father how wonderful he is he didn't condemn me in fact in that moment i felt closer and more accepted than i ever have before because i finally just spoke the truth you know the bible says you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free and by me acknowledging i wasn't believing i actually felt free see if you're doing something that you think is the way to get there and you keep trying it over and over because you think that's the way to get there and you're not getting there there's only one variable that needs to change and that's what we think about what we need to get there it's a simple point but it is nonetheless true and so i realized wow what i thought i was doing or what i thought believing was apparently is not what believing is and and that's why i titled it the way i did because i was i knew the word said that by jesus stripes i was healed but yet i didn't feel healed and every time someone would minister to me or i'd have someone pray for me or i was anointed with oil once and you know i'm all excited i'm thinking this is the ticket yes it is thank you father and you know but no change see my default was really i was evaluating whether i was healed or not by the symptoms in my body now you might say no you weren't you knew the truth no if you boil it down that's what was left in the pot as long as i had a symptom i wasn't fully persuaded that i was healed so i'm thinking in my mind that each time like i said i prayed for i'm thinking well i didn't do what was necessary i didn't receive what the minister prayed for me or i thought well maybe the minister just isn't believing or he just you know threw one up a courtesy prayer you know and but every time i prayed i was peaking when i was praying i was looking for a result after the flesh and folks that is not effective at all okay there's a place for that but i'm going to share you with you that place for that so uh fast forward i have i'm having this conversation with god like seven and a half years into my journey and i'm just acknowledging hey i am not believing because if it takes believing to receive and i haven't received then i didn't believe no condemnation no judgment i was actually set free by that understanding and my next question to god was now that i was feeling so close to him i said well i guess i don't know how to believe and he immediately corrected me immediately corrected me and reminded me of how i had believed certain things without seeing like he reminded me of how i had believed for my salvation and uh and how when i was challenged over and over about me not being saved and how i i felt like sometimes because you know i was my mind was unrenewed and and so i'm out doing things that i would feel condemned over and i felt like wow i'd go to church on sunday and i'd think wow they'd have a sermon on sin and i think wow how could i be saved i mean look at what i did this week a saved person would never do that so i constantly went vacillated back and forth whether i was saved or not but when i had that and i began to search in the word for myself concerning that and laid aside all the books and the commentaries that were to be honest with you i i felt more confused when i would read a commentary about certain subjects especially this about uh you know once you're saved you're sealed by the spirit you know and so i was like i've given up on those and i just said father please show me from your word and that's exactly what he did i went through the word and i went over many of the scriptures that i had read through these commentaries but now i had something different in my mind and heart i had given up on me understanding in and of myself through my intellect in other words i stopped looking for a confirmation through my flesh concerning my feelings about whether i was saved or not saved and the word of god did that i went through and i just said if this is what the word says i'm going to believe that it's true whether i feel that way about it or not whether i sin and feel condemned or not i'm going to believe whatever the word says and you know by the end of that study in just a few a few you know short weeks of really going through the scriptures and meditating in them i had believed what the word said and i was free and so even though i would occasionally sin after that that condemnation would never come just a conviction that wow i shouldn't have done that and as it says in first john 1 9 i would say father thank you for your forgiveness thank you that i christ bore that sin and i would ask him to just strengthen me through his word to resist those temptations and i found myself becoming stronger and stronger and that's because i laid aside this evidence about what i was feeling inside uh bad each time like wow you couldn't do that and i began to understand that that voice was the condemning voice of the devil now fast forward i had to share that because that's important to what i'm about to share is that uh you know within that short period of time i understood by going back to the word in the same way that i looked at my salvation being secure in christ the work he had done i realized that i needed to do the same thing from the word concerning healing and i had to get to the point like it says in second corinthians 4 18 it says we look not at the things that we can see because they're temporary but we look at the things that we cannot see because they are eternal now i was hindered because i kept looking at the things that i could see and i wouldn't i wouldn't allow my focus to remain on the things that i couldn't see in other words whatever i was feeling in my body that was what i believed to be true about me now i'm just boiling that down i'm not saying you know that's what was left in the pot i'll just leave it that way you know when you boiled it down when i when there was no change in my physical condition i would still feel like i needed to do something so what i realized when i went back to the word in just a few short months like from august to the end of december i was fully persuaded that there was nothing required of me that jesus had accomplished everything not only my salvation in the sense that i was secure eternally and my future was sealed with him by the spirit but also that by his stripes i was healed in other words there was no possibility of sickness or disease remaining in me against my will okay in other words there had to be some consent for me to have that remain in my body okay now once i realized that i thought wow i am healed and uh and i would have these uh as i was getting this revelation about being already healed that it's already done i would share this with my wife caroline and i remember one day late in december i was sharing with her i said caroline you know i am healed it is done it is finished and i had this piece that i hadn't had before let me remind you if you're not familiar with my testimony is that from the beginning of the when i first had the symptoms i knew and had a peace in my heart that i would be healed there was no doubt in my mind i was so persuaded that i took pictures during the whole journey of you know my my body and how it was changing over time getting worse and worse and worse even when i you know at one point i did quit taking the pictures because i was just too weak and i felt like who would ever look at these disgusting pictures anyway and so but i was so convinced that i would be healed that i took those pictures but now i know that i'm healed see i have all these symptoms in my body okay and i know that i'm healed but i still have the symptoms but there was something else that i felt like uh was missing okay not the healing part but just i couldn't understand why are the symptoms still here okay so uh you know my wife and i prayed and i i tell you the story about a few days later i had somebody come over and they shared this dream with me and in this dream it showed that i uh needed to do one more thing and then the lord would heal me well right away inside of me this indignation rose up because the previous four or five months i had realized that there wasn't anything necessary for me to be healed in fact if i was to accept that i needed to do one more thing that would mean that what jesus did was not complete in other words he needed me to do something other than just believe remember jesus said he that believeth hath everlasting life he didn't connect any works or performance to it in fact the issue about works was jesus said the only work that would please god would be believing on him whom he has sent john 6 28 and wow that impacted me to the point where i was like wow there's nothing i need to do so when this man told me thus saith the lord you need to do this i realized for the first time in my life that there was something inside of my heart that was still connected to performance so i want to share this with you and this is what i'm getting to uh this point i wanted to get to but that in that foundation was very important and i did go over that quickly so i encourage you to go back and listen to that because the spirit of god will connect all those dots for you and make this point that i'm going to make when that man came over that same day i went you know after i let him go and thanked him for you know what he you know i i thanked him for you know being obedient to the lord and coming over and sharing that with me although i knew that that was not from the lord in the sense that the lord was showing me that that was something i needed to do but rather i believe that that came over to like kick me in the butt okay in other words to like help me to rise above this this thing where yeah i know i'm healed but i don't know what to do next or i don't know what's going on why do i still have the symptoms and in that moment when after i dismissed him i had all these emotions and i'm not a very emotional person in the sense that i you know they're visibly outward but all of a sudden i have all these emotions this indignation in me which i had never really experienced at that level and and i'm trying to figure out what in the heck am i was going on inside of me and i realized because the lord brought to my remembrance jesus driving out the money changers and i thought wow this is how jesus felt but yet i didn't know who the money changers were to drive out of my temple so i went into my study and you know my caroline my wife comes in and says mike this is the answer to the prayer now she didn't know all that was going on inside of me other than she saw that i was crying and i was very like uh unsettled and as you know i've i've shared this before i took she says mike this is the answer i told her no caroline that was the devil i don't have to do a bleepity-believe thing i don't even have to serve god another day in my life and i am healed now in that moment this is the point i want to get to in that moment the agreement that i had with performance was broken in my heart and i knew in that moment that i was no longer a sick person i knew in that moment that i was healed in fact i felt for the first time in those eight years i didn't just think i was going to be healed i felt that i was healed okay i knew it i knew in my heart i'm healed so much so that i walked out of that room and began to live my life as a healed person but you know what's interesting think about this i walked out of that room with the same symptoms i walked into the room with in other words there was no physical change that anyone that had watched me walk into the room and watch me walk out could have perceived about my physical body in fact if i was to go to a doctor and they were to to uh examine me they would say no you're still sick you still have cancer you're you're still you know your body's full of cancer you know that's what they would have said okay but there was something that i knew that they didn't because i could see something that they could not see with all their sophisticated equipment i saw jesus i saw the truth and that truth made me free that truth separated me from the oppression of the devil that had been in my heart since a youth okay since a child okay now and i've talked about this before about this performance-based uh thinking so i'm not going to go down that road what i want to go down is this road very important because of the title uh healed and feel that way do you know when i walked out of that room nothing really outwardly had changed but inside i knew i was healed to the point where i had an energy that i had not had in years and it wasn't physical it was beyond the physical realm and now my focus was was looking at something i couldn't see which was eternal and that was the healing that i had received in christ jesus now was alive in me so from that day i began to live as a healed person and you know the story goes you can watch my testimony on my website mykeshministries.com you can go there and watch that and you'll see that i just began to live my life and slowly all the physical symptoms just diminished out of my body completely gone now after i received healing i was so happy about it and i you know just relating it to everyone that would listen but i didn't really connect all the dots about what happened to me so i asked the lord about that one particular moment i asked him about the whole thing and he explained and showed me how he had tried to get my heart to understand during that whole journey but because i already had a doctrine in my heart something i already believed was true and because i had experienced in my past healing and miracles and ministered them to other people i stuck with that thinking that was all i needed to know and i just expanded or read things that agreed with that but now here was something new that i had not known okay if i had i wouldn't have been sick that long okay as simple as that so now i asked the lord i said you know the bible says in ecclesiastes i think it's it's in chapter one 9 10 something like that it says that it says that there is nothing new under the sun in other words if it's happened to you it's happened to somebody before you okay so i knew that nothing was new under the sun and that and what god was no respecter of person so i asked him i said show me in the word i asked him to give me an example in the word about what happened to me in that moment where i had finally seen the truth but yet i still had the symptoms and then even when i exercised my belief and cast out the uh the oppressor the lie that was keeping everything active in me and walked out of that room with all the symptoms but knew that i was healed i said father i'm not i'm not unique i'm just like everyone else i'm like all of you out there identical okay so i said father where in your word is another example of this and he led me to this in mark chapter 5 about the woman with an issue of blood now i encourage you to read both accounts i'm not going to take the time to read that there's one in matthew and there's also one in luke but i'm going to focus on the one in mark but there are important nuggets in the other two that that really seal this picture and i may touch on one or two of the points there but i'm not going to read them and i do want to share this this is so important because it relates to this point that we're talking about you know in proverbs let me just read it in proverbs 18 let me share this with you and and i think we'll see this uh also in this woman in uh proverbs 18 this is something that i think is so uh powerful in verse 14 it says the spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity but a wounded spirit who can bear okay think about that for a minute see as long as the enemy could keep me wounded in my in you know in the spirit in in my spiritual part of me okay as long as he could keep me down uh he would like have preeminence over me okay and it says you know as long as my spirit was wounded as long as i didn't understand the truth or stand up for the truth it was very difficult to bear but it says the spirit of a man will sustain but the spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity but a wounded spirit who can bear you know i think about that how i had this hope to be healed and to be delivered and i kept looking for things over and over and that's what kept me searching even though i was weak inside and got to a point you know sometimes you know i couldn't even hold my head up to eat sometimes you know that's how weak i had become and uh i would just listen to teaching because i was too weak or infirmed to uh you know do anything else you know but i still i'm gonna say this this is so important i never gave in to it i would fight i would get up every single day which was a battle i would get up every single day i would not allow myself to lay in bed and that's what i talk about that's what i think this is saying the spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity when you see i had this hope that was set before me and that hope was god's going to heal me okay and and i will admit that was a carrot dangling before me and i was very much not going to let go of that carrot so i persisted after it and and i think that was just much of it was just my own what would you call it stubbornness i would not let go of that that's the only thing i had peace about was that god said i was going to be healed or let me put it this way i thought god said that to me in other words i had a uh something that spoke to my heart and that's what i interpreted it to mean and the reason i interpreted it to mean that way instead of what was really said was god was trying to tell me from the beginning you are healed not you will be healed but i changed it because i didn't understand that you can have symptoms and still be healed okay now that's why i want to talk about this woman here you know uh this woman go back to mark chapter 5 and let me go back there mark chapter 5 and i want to read this account of this woman i think it's very important it says and and i want to relate this how this woman just persisted uh and kept searching to be healed it says in verse um in um uh whoops i'm in luke let's go to mark mark chapter five in mark chapter five it says uh verse 25 and it says in a certain woman which had an issue of blood 12 years and had suffered many things of many physicians and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered but rather grew worse you know i felt that way mine wasn't 12 years mine was seven you know eight total but seven and a half years of just progressively getting worse and i had tried many things you know uh i tried you know natural uh herbal uh you know juicing you know the whole gamut of everything you could uh find naturally speaking i studied it i looked into it i read so many books on the topic and i was nothing bettered it didn't help me but i knew in my heart that uh that the the physicians were not the way to go either i just had no peace in fact i felt like i felt like uh the lord had just told me that that was not for me and in such a way that i was like no i it wasn't even an option for me okay even when i began when i was very bad along the way and my wife would say why don't you just get it cut off i would say you know honey there's no guarantee in that they could take it take it off but what about what we cannot see under the skin what about what caused that to be there we can't see any of that so just to remove the symptom from the outside is not to remove the problem i understood that i knew in fact uh instead of going into it now there is a teaching that i did for healing journeys today on one of these live streams it's called the root of sickness and disease i encourage you to watch that it was uh yeah go there and check that out and i also on my website i have much of my teaching is devoted uh to the root behind sickness and disease and being set free from the root of disease and uh but go there there's one i'm thinking of is understanding the devices of the enemy and the natural versus the spiritual those are two uh teachings where i go quite into depth on the subject i just mentioned about the root so listen to this woman she's going to these doctors now we don't know they might have given her a treatment and then she took the treatment and then waited for a period of time to see what would happen well each time she took these treatments nothing happened in other words she would consent to the treatment she'd go through the treatment and it sounds like she was very diligent to persist after them until she's broke so obviously her hope or her confidence was in that to some degree or she wouldn't have spent all that she had and she kept growing worse but listen to this in verse 27 when she had heard of jesus she came in the press behind and touched his garment for she said if i may touch his clothes i shall be whole and straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of the plague and jesus immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him turned him about in the press and said who touched my clothes and his disciples said unto him thou seest the multitude thronging thee and says thou who touched me i always i always smile about that you know they're thinking carnally they're thinking like they're looking around at what they could see naturally that he's talking about but jesus was speaking spiritually and then he explains to them he looked round about to see her that had done this thing but the woman fearing and trembling knowing what was done in her important point came and fell down before him and told him all the truth and listen to what jesus says and he said unto her daughter thy faith hath made thee whole notice what he didn't say he didn't say my power has made thee whole my virtue that went out of me made you whole he didn't say that he could have but he did not he said woman thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace and then he adds this and be whole of thy plague this is what the lord spoke to me now wait let me just read here this is this is important too in luke how it's worded in luke chapter 8 in luke chapter 8 it says um verse 44 but this woman came behind him and touched the border of his garment and immediately the issue of blood staunched which means to be to stand still or to set apart was staunched and jesus said who touched me and when all denied peter and they they were with him master the multitude throngly impress thee and sayest and sayest thou who touched me and jesus said somebody hath touched me for i perceived that virtue has gone out of me and then the woman goes down and says and when the woman saw she was not hid she came fell down before jesus and declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately and jesus said unto her daughter be of good comfort thy path thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace these are good points so important this is what the lord brought to my remembrance now let me tell you some things we don't know about the woman that are are not mentioned in any of the three accounts we don't know what happened when she walked away we don't know we don't know anything about that we don't know how she reacted the next time she had her period or her menstrual cycle we don't know what happened we don't know anything about that but what we do know is what she did say okay and what did she say she said in in in mark luke while we're there she said that she was healed immediately and then she also said that immediately her issue of blood staunched okay but listen to this this is awesome in mark chapter 5 this is what she this is how she puts it and she says um in verse 29 and straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague now that's the verse the lord brought to my mind uh about this woman that she felt in herself do you know that word felt there is only translated from the word the greek word gnosco one time here in the entire bible as spell but do you know everywhere else i think it's over 190 times that same greek word is translated no or to no or new okay or in one place a few places it's translated perceived like jesus said he perceived that virtue went out of him now notice this very important point she knew in she knew in her body that she was healed of the plague that's the point that happened to me see i knew first of all i knew that from the word of god i my heart had become persuaded that i was healed by the stripes of jesus but yet i still had this question about well what about my body what's going on in my body what's happening here when are these symptoms going to go okay that's the question i had and i told you about what happened and then i said i walked out of that room knowing that i was healed and didn't have to do anything at all to be healed because i was healed this is exactly what happened to this woman in that moment we don't know anything about her symptoms other than it says that the blood was staunched and that she said she was immediately healed do you know that i felt exactly the same way in that moment that i took that stand and i said no that i don't have to even serve god and i know that i'm healed there's that word no i knew that it was over i knew that it was done you know i walked out of that room i still smelled like death i still had to change the bandages several times a day okay there was still uh a lesser degree of pain but i still and and a lesser degree of pain and i still had the awareness as far as feeling it in my body okay the physical part of it but what was different was i knew i was healed i knew in that moment that what was the root of that sickness and disease had been cut off it was chopped off okay it was no longer there if you'll remember from the illustration in one of the other live streams about the root of sickness i pulled up a i actually took a dandelion and pulled it out of the ground and i uh knocked all the the dirt off of it i washed it off and that that dandelion uh looked good for hours okay it was fine it didn't look like anything was wrong with it uh okay uh even though it'd been uprooted from the ground it's still thr uh looked like it was living okay but here's what happened it died it couldn't be sustained anymore because it was separated from what was giving it life where it was able to grow and and become stronger okay and grow and live well that's what happened to me in that moment i knew from the word of god that i was healed and now i even felt within myself that i was healed i felt physically completely whole inside so much so that i just started living my life as the healed person you know that's what this woman did she she just went home it doesn't talk about it but we don't know whether she still had some a spotting in her uh you know in her loin cloth we don't know that it doesn't say but in this woman's mind and heart she knew that she was healed in the same way i knew that i was healed you know i was so blessed when our when our father showed that to me that i wasn't new that this woman had experienced the exact same thing that i did now when we read this account we always think that she instantly was delivered of every single physical symptom and technically she was okay but as far as the outward appearance it may not have been visible to anyone okay and that's exactly what happened to me if like i said earlier if i'd gone to a doctor they'd say boy we're going to admit you right away we need to do surgery chemo radiation we got to get rid of that thing but yet i knew that it was over i didn't just have a peace in my heart that i was going to be okay i knew that i was healed and i began to live that way not because or not to try and prove anything i tried that years before and it wore me out okay i was physically exhausted at the end of every day because i under my own power was trying to live because god said i was healed so i'm going to live like an ill person no no no no i don't recommend that to anyone that'll that'll wear you out and make you sicker but what happened to me was once i believed in my heart and i stood on that belief and said no more to the lie that was giving place to sickness and disease in my life i was a free man free you might say free you still had those symptoms how could you say you were free see now i was living like it says in uh ii corinthians chapter five verse seven we walk by faith and not by sight and the spirit of god within me was now sustaining me beyond the infirmity because the infirmity was separated from me i was made whole but i still had all the symptoms and you know what i began to feel not only inside strong but i began to feel every day stronger and stronger and stronger and stronger and here's the unique thing that i find almost odd but i felt free i felt like i don't even have to study my bible i don't have to a seek after god i don't have to go to church i didn't feel like i owed god anything i honestly didn't but what i felt like now what i i wanted to know more about god i wanted to know everything there was about being free and why did i feel so free but yet i felt like i didn't have to do anything now that was a strange feeling for a guy who was so legalistic about the word of god and now it's like i don't care it doesn't matter i'm healed i'll live my life as a healed person so i just wanted to share that today that if you are struggling with healing if you are struggling to be set free have you considered in your heart that maybe maybe you're not fully persuaded have you considered that maybe really am i believing or am i just confusing a deep desire with believing now i'm not saying this to discourage anyone because if anyone knows discouragement i do and i would never impose that on anyone but i do want to share this that it was through me acknowledging that i wasn't in belief that i considered looking into understanding what actual belief was okay and the fruit of that was very quick in other words i didn't have to wait another seven years i just went back to the word and said you know what i'm going to change my mind see i did have to repent that's what repent means it means a change of mind i had to change my mind about what i was thinking belief in receiving healing and the symptoms and all that everything i was believing about that i had to change my mind about one main thing i had to change my mind about was that the absence of symptoms does not equal belief it does not equal healing okay it does not equal healing you could and i've ministered to many people like this who've had parts removed tumors removed um surgeries all sorts of things and the symptom is gone but yet they're still sick and they're and they're worse off in many cases than they were before because now their heart is completely discouraged what they thought was going to be freedom is not freedom to them now they see wow there's something deeper than that okay and so anyway what i want i want to encourage you that you know what when you get to a place where you just go all in on what god says and you let go of any other natural requirements like i got i should feel better if i'm healed just let go of that you know one thing i observed was when i was um in this place of finally having received the healing and knew i was healed one thing that allowed me not to have to worry about the symptoms was because when i when i went back and looked at the word uh prior to receiving that moment where i separated myself from sickness and disease through just going all in in belief prior to that when the lord was when i was going through his word i made this commitment that if god says that he did something i'm going to accept it as having been done in my life if he says that i'm to do something i'm just going to do it okay i'm not going to evaluate it i'm just going to do what he says to do and if he says he's going to do something then i'm not going to give any thought about it i'm just going to expect him to do it and you know that's what happened when i when i said know that i am healed there's not a single bleeping thing i need to do i don't have to serve god another day in my life i didn't even have to worry about my recovery because the word says in math in romans 8 11 that his spirit is what gives and preserves life to my mortal body that's not my job so each time a thought would come to me about you know like when we're dressing it or thinking it and a thought would come to my mind or caroline would say something to me i would just say hey that's not my job that's not my job to get rid of it that's god's job and i didn't do what he said he would do and this is awesome folks that freed me to live as a healed person it wasn't my responsibility and you could say well you had the evidence you started getting better but what caused me to see that evidence was when my heart went all in and i said no to the lie that was keeping me sick in my heart so i'm going to wrap it up there there's much more that could be said and i i encourage you to visit my website and check out those free teachings there and i do i feel led to pray for all of us today um and uh i just the father in jesus name that what you laid on my heart today is is so awesome and so beautiful for all of us and father i know that there's many people that are listening that have listened or will listen to this who are in the same place i was so father i ask that you would lead and guide them to that same revelation of truth from your word that they will stop and say hey if it's not working i'm going to stop doing it the way i was and now father show me the right way so father i ask that their eyes of their understanding would be enlightened to your way and through that way father that they would embrace regardless of what their body is telling them that they would embrace your truth and see that it's your truth in their heart that makes them free so father thank you for that in jesus name amen so thank you again for joining me as i said i'll uh i'm going to go back over your comments that you've left here i thank you again for joining me and and uh again i want to remind you that there's a
