Healing School with Duane Sheriff - January 21, 2016

let's welcome pastor Dwayne sheriff as he comes to share the Word of God with us today amen I love you too brother everybody blessed amen we are blessed let's hope our Bibles to Romans chapter 8 Romans chapter 8 let's do something real quick I'm having you open your Bible or your affectionately attached to gadgets and you met you may not be able to to clap I'm gonna put mine down for a minute would you please welcome all of those that are joining us for this service from your heart would you do that with me is the best day ever in Jesus name Romans chapter 8 verse 1 there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death for what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh God sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin he sent His Son Jesus in flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit praise be to the Lord Jesus came to not only bear our sins but to bear the punishment for our sins he came to redeem us from the curse of the law he came to bear not just my sin but God's wrath against me for sin he came to in his flesh take my sin where God could punish him for my sin where God could pour the entire curse of the law out on him for my for my sin so God is not condemning me if I'm experiencing any condemnation any sense of unworthiness or or unfit for God's use or unable to receive the blessings of God I know for sure that's not coming from God because there is therefore now no condemnation for those that are in Christ if you're born again if you've made Jesus the Lord of your life you're in Christ and Christ is in you so God is not condemning you and he condemned Jesus on your behalf so that the very righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in you now because you're not walking after the flesh but after the spirit you are made the very righteousness of God in Christ Jesus in the eyes of the Lord why is this so important condemnation was something I struggled with for years and had nearly became a mountain at times in my life that would seemingly collapse upon me and caused me to be able or unable to receive certain things from God and I have discovered in praying for people in pastoring people in people even dealing with sickness that many times it's condemnation that is hindering them from receiving the blessing of the Lord you know if you don't believe in healing you don't get condemned when you get sick if you don't believe in healing and worse yet if you believe God someone making you sick to teach you something you don't get condemned about being sick but you know if you believe in healing I have discovered many people because they do believe in healing because they do know God's will according to his word and that it is his will to heal them if they're struggling with some type of sickness they're usually warring with condemnation and if you don't know how to deal with that condemnation it's going to hinder you from receiving the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ so righteousness by faith and understanding you're made the very righteousness of God is believe it or not connected to your healing in many ways a lot of people do not realize how righteous they've been made and because they make mistakes or they're struggling or again they've got some illness in their body or some sickness they're warring with condemnation is something that tries to take them over just because it says in Romans 8:1 there is therefore now no condemnation for those that are in cry Jesus that doesn't mean it's impossible for you to feel condemned I need you to nod your head right here and fool your neighbor hallelujah because that used to confuse me if there's no condemnation to those that are in Christ and I've been Christ why do I feel so condemned why am i wrestling with condemnation if there's no condemnation listen there's no condemnation from God on you God has not only forgiven you in the work of the cross and in the shedding of Jesus's blood he has made you righteous in his eyes with the very righteousness of Jesus himself see the righteousness you stand in that causes you to be able to now receive any good thing from God the righteousness in Christ that you've been made the righteousness of the law that's been fulfilled on the inside of you that causes you to be able to receive from God is the very righteousness of Jesus himself God doesn't even see your righteousness as you were a sinner and you were forgiven and made righteous no the righteousness he sees in you is the very righteousness of Jesus that never knew any sin you know if you believed you were perfect in the eyes of God you could believe for anything if you really believed that you were perfect sinless and God looks at you as if you've never sinned you could trust him for anything you can see miracles you can see the power of God what happens is we go to God and we pray and then we feel our unworthiness we feel even past sins we feel what people have said many times or we wrestle on the inside with this sense of guilt this sense of of unworthiness and the presence of God and I can't tell many times in a healing line I've had to help people quickly deal with condemnation to receive their healing they'll even they'll even talk to me about things that again they did themself that hey I really I really did this to myself I did so-and-so and there's no doubt in my mind I caused this sickness I mean it's not even assumed they may have caused it they know they went and did something and it caused the sickness and so they're worn with the guilt of that thinking that that may hinder them from receiving their healing that in and of itself will not hinder you from receiving any healing from God but condemnation over it will and so you've got to understand this issue of condemnation not only do you need to understand it and I need to understand it to constantly be receiving my healing I need to understand it to help other people receive their healing so this is either going to minister to you directly and and and rock your world as I love to say it or it's going to help equip you to help other people get through condemnation and abide in the righteousness they've been made thereby receiving all the blessings of God because you have been made righteous with the very righteousness of Jesus 2nd Corinthians 5:21 says for he that's God made him that's Jesus to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him Jesus was made sin with your very sin on the cross so you could be made righteous with his very righteousness hallelujah by one man Romans 5:19 says by one man that's Adam's sin came into the world and death thereby came by sin and by one man Jesus Christ many are made the righteousness of God well this changed my life big time when I saw righteousness by faith and no condemnation from God on my life that I had been made the very righteousness of God and that I was a sinner not because I sinned or had personal sin even though I had sinned and had personal sin that's not what made me a sinner one man Adam made me a sinner I was born in a sin once I saw that I knew how to get out of sin if you were born into sin first birth in Adam the only way out is to get born again in the second man the last Adam Jesus Christ you got to get born out of sin you were born into sin and made a sinner by Adam's transgression now you got to have a second birth yet born again through faith in the second man the last Adam and now you're born out of sin into righteousness the very righteousness of God lissa this if it was my see and listen to this second Corinthians 5:21 for he that's God may Jesus sin who knew no sin think of how deep that is Jesus the sinless spotless Son of God was made sin without sinning if God can make Jesus sin on the cross without sinning it's no big deal him making me righteous where that works yeah see I'm not saying this just because you clapped but you felt that one you you you connected to that one day wait a second if Jesus was made sin without sinning why can't I be made the very righteousness of God without works and I'm here to tell you you have been just as sure as God made Jesus sit on the cross for you he has made you righteous now with his very righteousness for himself hallelujah so when you see that kind of righteousness you're able to receive any good thing that Jesus has provided all the good things that Jesus has provided without wavering without wondering without allowing some sense of condemnation or guilt to cancel out the goodness of God in your life and so this is very important that's not my message but it was good anyway amen my message is no condemnation now and if God's not condemning me why have I struggled with condemnation I struggled with condemnation because I didn't understand the source of condemnation and once I laid out and God showed me where is the condemnation coming for from and how do I in my righteousness that I've been made in faith now counter-attack condemnation in my life because again I'm telling you in church culture at least people said in pews sick and they are so condemned about even being sick because we all believe in healing they won't come down to the altar because they're nervous what everybody's gonna think about them so they're struggling with condemnation and so they find themself on an island many times warring with sickness just like the devil wants to get you on an island warring with sin so he can overcome you he wants you on an island by yourself Warren with your sickness so he can overcome you and we need to understand this condemnation issue so well that when someone that is a friend is wrestling with sickness we don't condemn them but we encourage them now and help them walk their journey of their healing out okay so let's quickly talk about the source of condemnation the source of condemnation a we know it's not God we know it's not God you have to settle that in your heart God doesn't condemn you for anything in your life now listen he will convict you over sin he will convictive amiss steps in your life but there's a difference between conviction and condemnation condemnation is always the devil pushing you down and trying to push you away from God conviction is God bringing you up and pulling you to himself if you wind up in some darkness if you wind up in some sin God will not condemn you for the sin but he will correct you he will convict you he will chasten you Hebrews chapter 12 says everybody that the Lord loves he chastens and scourges well we don't want to go there time would fail me to have to explain that one but if you're born again and you belong to the Lord and you've never gotten a whipping you're not born again man I don't know about you but I've been took to the woodshed a lot of times and it wasn't the devil it was God I need some protection it was God and a lot of Christians don't understand this they get condemnation and conviction mixed up and I promise you if you are if you are going in the wrong direction the devil definitely is going to pounce all over you and condemn you but God's not going to let go of you he's going to convict you to get you to turn and make sure you keep tracking true on the right on the right track so that's a teaching evidently all in and of itself and it's not where I want to go but the main thing is God's not condemning you Jesus went to the cross for your sins and bore your condemnation God's wrath God's punishment there's a difference season now I want to do it again there's a difference between punishing and correcting one has wrath this one has love if I loved you I would correct you if I was relationally connected to you but because I love you I would never punish you be angry with you pour wrath out on you and things like that so we know it's not God so let's take the easiest one first number one it's the devil it's the devil that's condemning you Revelation chapter 12 verse 10 says and call Satan the accuser of the Brethren and he accused them day and night before God and he got kicked out of heaven and the angels a third of them that hooked up with him in teen ministry got kicked out of heaven amen that's why if you listen to any of my other stuff you'll hear every now and then me talk about the dumb devil I'm not trying to be disrespectful even toward the devil but you got to be pretty done to get kicked out of heaven hey be good so I messed up all the time I'll be reading out loud trying to preach and I'll go and the dumb devil and it's not in the original original text but I'm telling you the devil's done because he got kicked out of heaven well one of his titles of many is accuser of the Brethren and he's at this day and night the scriptures say accusing us even before God and so you have to learn how to deal with the devil in the sense of binding accusations from the devil binding whatever you believe is the enemy condemning you now what I want to do now is get into into some nuances for some people maybe but what I had to understand in order to practically deal with condemnation I found myself rebuking the devil and why the devil was behind some of these other sources of condemnation in my life I was boxing the air instead of hitting the target and this changed my life it changed my entire walk well it not only helped me receive my healing it not only helped me receive my forgiveness it not only helped me receive the blessings of God in my life it caused me to understand my daily walk with God on how to submit to God James 4:6 and resist the devil so that he will flee so number one and I think everyone understands okay it's the devil but how does the devil accuse us how does the devil use condemnation in a subtle way the devil is subtle the devil Paul says when he shows up he doesn't show up in a pitchfork poni ears and a long tail and a red suit did I get all that metaphor correct and thought about that in a long time no the devil never shows up and you go oh the devil no Paul said he shows up as an angel of light he's a deceiver he's subtle he wants you in some form of ignorance to ensnare you or entrap you and condemnation I'm telling you he has used it skillfully with many of God's good people to ensnare them to enslave them and they've not known really how to break out of it because they didn't know what the real source was they knew the devil's behind this but how do I practically binding how do I practically submit to God and resist him and that's where I'm gonna go now for the rest of my time I do need to know how much time I have because I could talk about this all day that sounds good to you but you're not the other one here my brother so just holler at me if I if I if I go too long alright so number one the devil alright number two and here's one of the major sources no one ever taught me never heard it before my life go to first John chapter 2 first John chapter 2 this is a source of condemnation that you have to learn to deal with in a practical way in order to receive the good things of God so number two is our own hearts our own hearts what did I say first John I met three I think bless my heart let me see if this is right yeah I did good first John chapter 3 we'll start in verse 18 my little children let us not love in Word neither in tongue but in deed and in truth a love is an action love is God and God in motion interacting with the affairs of man and hereby know that we are of the truth that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before him notice that you have to assure your heart before God now look at this phrase for if our heart condemn us not God is greater than our heart knows all things beloved if our heart condemn us not then we have confidence toward God now how can I go to church my whole life and no one tell me alright you struggled with condemnation yep the devil is behind condemnation and he's the accuser of the Brethren and here's how he does it with your own heart he'll use your own good heart against you in the form of condemnation your own conscience that you just feel bad about something you know in your heart of hearts you mistreated your wife yesterday and it's hindering you today in your confidence toward God you know in your heart of hearts you didn't say what you should have said in a certain situation and it's bothering you in your heart you know you said something you should have said and that's bothering you in your heart okay you guys must be perfect after the flesh that's awesome and there's times my heart condemns me that man I shouldn't have said that and it's bothered me and I better deal with it or it will condemn me and I'll lose my confidence toward God do you know I I am not perfect after the flesh don't misunderstand me I'm better than everybody here and double-check make sure in that statement but I'm not perfect I have issues I have things that I wish I hadn't had done and other things I wish I had I've done that I know are the right thing to do and wound up doing sometimes something wrong it's my heart that's condemning me and I have to learn how to deal with my heart not the devil I have to learn to deal with my heart that's condemning me not the devil the devil is using my good heart my good conscience against me but I have to deal with my heart right now in Romans 14 22 it talks about if you have faith that's awesome you keep it to yourself happy is the man that condemneth not himself in the thing which he allows think about that for a minute happy is the man that condemneth not himself in the thing that he allow it I discovered it what in the devil condemning me I was condemning myself so I'm rebuking the devil and didn't ever what in the problem I was the problem okay you didn't laugh so now I'm coming after you something you want me to rebuke the devil in your life and the devil's not the problem you're the problem all of you that are watching I know you're getting this don't be moved by them not getting it here okay how many wives have everybody say I love brother Dwayne kids how many wives have come to me and she thinks the problem is her husband and her problem is that the husband he's just bringing to her attention her problem or the husband thinks the wife is the problem and she's really not the problem she's just a source that's bringing attention to your problem ok that didn't work that's just like many times I'll preach like this and somebody will come up to me and I'm not being mean I'm not being rude I love you dearly affectionately most assuredly every single one of you but someone will come up to me and Evelyn evitt ibly they'll say something like man you just messed me up I'm all confused you messed me up you confused me I have never confused anybody I came and I brought the truth to your attention and you were confused before I came I just brought it to your attention I've never confused anybody but boy I've sure brought a lot of confusion to their attention we want to blame everything even condemnation always on the devil and it's not the devil at your own heart it's your own conscience you haven't learned either how to purge your conscience Hebrews chapter 9 verse 14 says that you have to purge your conscience from dead works can I get a witness sin is dead work amen you have to purge your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God in other words if I don't know how to take the blood the eternal everlasting powerful blood of Jesus that pulsates on the mercy seat in the heavenlies that was shed for sin one time for the remission of sin forever if I don't know how to take that living blood from that mercy seat by faith and purge my conscience from what I just did that was wrong I won't be able to serve the Living God with confidence my heart will beat me up then I'm preaching better new respondent but that's okay that's my fault I'm just telling you man when I figured out wait a minute the devil isn't half the problem I thought he was I'm the problem that I need to learn how to purge through repentance my conscience take the blood that was shed for sin forever and now purged my country with conscience with it you know why I repent a lot of good people have no idea why I ask the Christian we repent we even got people preaching today well-known ministers preaching today that Christians don't have to repent how sad is that you're one sick puppy if you don't know how to repent I don't repent and I don't have to repent to get saved I don't repent and have to repent to get God to love me I don't have to repent or do I repent to get God to accept me I don't repent or have to repent to get born again again again again there's no such thing as getting born again again again again amen amen amen amen and while I don't repent to get God to love me and I don't repent to get God to bless me and I don't repent to get God to accept me he never rejected me he never quit loving me I repent first John 1:9 says that if we repent if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us notice it didn't say he's merciful to forgive us and he'll think about forgiving us why is he faithful and just to forgive us because we're already forgiven and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness I repent because if I sin my vertical relationship with God is not broken he still loves me he still accepts me he's still with me never to leave her forsake me but now my conscience needs purged because sin is still bad and sin still hurts me and still sin still hurts you and so I'm repenting too receive the power of my forgiveness to cleanse my conscience I repent to you to cleanse my conscience I repent to you because I'm sincerely sorry if I sin against you and I ask you to forgive me not just for your sake but my sake amen I wish had time now to teach on why do we repent because there are multiple reasons to repent how many view know if I sin I give Satan place in my life who has no place in my life Satan has no place in my life I've been delivered from the powers of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear son but if I willfully did did you know the Bible says the book of Peter says that God has chained devils and demons to darkness did you know they're chained to darkness how do you chained a devil a spirit being with a chain of physical chain to darkness it's impossible so does it mean that they're chained to darkness the devil by God has been regulated to traffic only in darkness Satan cannot traffic in light he is bound to darkness he is limited to darkness he cannot touch you or I when we're walking in the light but if we choose to walk in darkness we choose to yield to him and give him place to steal kill and destroy so I repent not to get God to love me accept me or blame me I repent to get off of that road of darkness it's full of death and evil and pain and sorrow and misery back on to the highway of God's best for my life the highway of light I don't know why you repent but I repent because sin hurts people it's not just a moral issue or an immoral issue you can't name a sin that doesn't hurt somebody and I don't want to hurt people because I love God now and I love people so there's there's a powerful truth to repentance and I'm about to teach all of it so help me get off it is one of the many reasons to repent is because I am saved and because I have a new nature and because I love God win or if I do something wrong it bothers me do you don't want reasons I know I'm saved is because I don't want to sin anymore I don't know I'm saved because I don't sin but I know I'm saved because if I was a child of darkness I would love darkness I would celebrate darkness I would defend darkness but because I'm a child of light and life and the very life of Jesus is on the inside of me now man I do something wrong it bothers me and so I have to purge my conscience so that my heart doesn't condemn me hallelujah if I didn't know what I was preaching to you right now I couldn't be up here because again every man's heart knows the bitterness of his own heart everybody knows their weaknesses everybody knows their shortcomings everybody knows they have flesh flesh flesh and if I wasn't able to purge my conscience by the blood of Jesus then my own heart would condemn me and that hinders me from my confidence in rebuking the devil my confidence in receiving my healing my confidence in this is mine and it's been bought and paid for by Jesus and so that's important they understand it all right number three and many of us experience this all the time unfortunately some of you have been vessels innocently of number three and we need to be aware of it what is the source of condemnation number one Satan number two my own heart number three others others people will innocently under demonic delusion condemn you your families will condemn you or try to condemn you many times a spouse will condemn you not even knowing they're doing it your children will condemn you I'm known of entire groups that would condemn you when you're trying to believe God when you're trying to do the right thing when you're trying to to go forward Romans chapter 2 verse 1 talks about we shouldn't be judging one another especially when we're guilty of the same things and judging there doesn't mean judging and generally so am i condemning each other the very thing we condemn others for we're guilty of I can't how many times I've heard people word and faith charismatic word and grace now people condemn somebody else this wrestling with sickness like I wonder what's wrong with their faith well I thought they were really close to God but I don't know now look you know like you've never ward with sickness you've never ward with sin you've never ward with your own heart because you're as pure zuv wind-driven snow you hypocrite amen Paul said write this down 2nd Corinthians chapter 7 verse 2 and 3 he said I do not say this to condemn you he was preaching he was teaching he was writing to them I'm not saying this to condemn you in other words you could even take and the devil could twist something I'm saying right now and you think I'm condemning you did you know it's impossible for me to condemn you and this is why it's impossible for me to condemn you there's no condemnation in my heart for you there's only good things and treasures of good things in my heart for you right now but I'm telling you I could say some things that the devil will try to use it and me as a vessel to condemn you and Paul said I'm not saying this to condemn you and yet I'm telling you there are many people in your life that are a source of condemnation and how do we deal with this my family condemned me for years for even going into the ministry my family used to condemn me constantly for trying to do the right thing any time I try to do the right thing I was accused of being self-righteous I was accused of thinking I'm better than they are well you just think you're better than other people what do you think that is that's condemnation and in some cases I don't think I'm better than other people I know I'm better oh come on let that go hallelujah in other cases I'm not as good as everybody in the room I just can't allow people to be the source of condemnation in my life and I'm telling you the devil will use people to condemn you write this down proverbs 17:15 proverbs 17:15 he that justifies the wicked and he that condemneth the just both are an abomination to God that is a awesome scripture do you know what I could be an abomination in two different things I could be an abomination if I justify the wicked if I tell someone who is living in wickedness you are okay what you're doing is okay that's an abomination but guess what else is an abomination if I condemn the just that's an abomination and many times we don't realize that we're condemning other people and that's an abomination instead of of rejoicing with one another mourning with one another that's what James was talking about when he talked about church culture family culture that when one is rejoicing we all rejoice when one is mourning we all mourn we don't when one is mourning set step back and say what's wrong with you man I'm happy today that's not that's not God that's not good no if I mourn with those that mourn he's not timeout I have to have a pity party with everybody crying he's talking about I need to identify with people where they are and not condemn them for where they are but now love them where they are and love them enough to get them from where they are to where they need to be I don't need to condemn anybody sick I need to hug and love on them and help them get healed I don't need to condemn anybody that's in sin I need to love on them and help them get out of sin and yet I'm telling you people condemning the just who's the just those of you that have called upon the name of the Lord your the just you've been justified you've been made righteous you've been redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb you've been bought back you've been brought back to God Almighty and it would be an abomination for you to condemn or me to condemn you or you to condemn me and yet it goes on all the time people saying things how do you deal with that go to Isaiah 54 because a lot of times when somebody condemns us the way we try to fight the condemnation is condemning back so now we got abomination times - you're condemning me that's an abomination I don't know how to deal with you so I could name you back and so we got abomination on steroids welcome to church write down job 32 job is one of my favorite books because I just love tweaking faith people and I mean they're a lot of faith people won't even read the book of Job they think it's the book of getteth job not the book of Job and that man was an awesome man he was an incredible believer two times in job chapter 1 job chapter 1 verse 1 God Almighty said that man was a perfect man a skewed or hated evil feared God said it in job chapter 1 verses 8 through 10 how that job really feared God and was a perfect man before God didn't mean he didn't have any sin anymore than it means you don't have any sin but you've been made a perfect man in Jesus in your spirit man now right so it doesn't mean he didn't have any sin it meant in the eyes of God this man was a great man of faith he lost ten kids in one day he lost all his wealth and he was the richest man probably on the planet and he lost it all in one day and the Bible says he fell in the dirt and worshipped God you can't you cannot you've never met probably a man or woman in your life with that kind of commitment to God that kind of love for God you know one of the worst things that could happen to you happened to my mom my dad our family was the loss of a child losing your child losing one child I've seen it derail hundreds maybe thousands I'm coming up personally I've seen it I know it's derailed hundreds and probably hundreds of thousands of God's people just losing one child the pain of that the the hurt the confusion that comes in that brokenness of your heart and Jobe lost ten in one day Satan took everything away from him but his wife there's reason Satan left her she's the one that Satan used to condemning why don't you just curse God and die there's reason why the devil didn't kill her job was committed to God and he didn't even know there was a devil he thought God did it to him and I'm not even condemning him for that because you have a New Testament and Old Testament you're a born-again fit with the Holy Spirit you're not sure there's a devil some of you in job 32 there was a young man named Eli who who held his his speech and let older people speak first because he thought wisdom was in those that were of age and he discovered like I've discovered age does not make you wise it just makes you old some of you are not like admissible what is wrong with y'all so he didn't say anything and in joke 32 right around verse 2 and 3 he got so angry finally couldn't hold his peace because he thought hey those that are older will have wisdom and Jobe had three friends as I say three friends and they could not answer job's question and yet condemned him and God nearly killed those three friends at the end of the book of Job and job offered up sacrifices for them and prayed for them and and deferred the anger of God against them God was so angry at him Eli who was so angry at him because you can't give Jobin answer but all you can do is condemning and I guarantee you there are people in your life instead of them giving you the answer on how to get your healing the answer on how to get you from from point A to point B the answer on the journey you're on and get you one step closer they can't give you those answers and yet they damn you that's an abomination everybody feel that I didn't speak this to condemn you but how many of us instead of giving people an answer with the love grace and mercy of God we wind up condemning them we don't want to do that where do I tell you to go that's exactly I was testing you I knew that Isaiah 54 how do I deal with these three friends in my life they can't answer my questions but all they do is condemn me what if you just had more faith brother well why am i sick and I'm I believe Jesus and I'm living with my barn well if you just had more faith brother and everybody that's ever said that to is boasting in their faith what they really are saying if you just had the faith I have yeah really yeah really how do I deal with these three friends how do I deal with people that are not giving me an answer to my struggle or something I'm going through but are condemning me Isaiah 54 let's start well let's just go cut to the chase verse 17 verse 17 no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that rises or that shall rise against thee in judgment any tongue that rises against you in judgment he's how about negative judgment there is talk about a form of condemnation thou shall condemn this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me sayeth the Lord here's where we mess up when we mess up a lot of ways so let's try to find just a couple here a lot of us don't realize the power of words we don't even realize the effect words have the power of life and death are in the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof all words have either death in him or life in him all words are either edifying or or condemning and we don't realize the effect they have on us we don't have we don't realize the effect they have our very own words in most cases or listen the words of others spoken over us and many of our services when we're having our regular services I will speak a blessing over the body because I believe those words have power I believe when I say the Lord bless you and keep you the Lord make his face to shine upon you the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace I believe those words have power I believe their words or seeds of life that are that are going into people's hearts that are going to make a difference throughout their entire week you have to be careful who you let speak over you and what is spoke over you because words have power words are either going to create faith faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God that's the power of work God's Word creates faith the devil's Word and words create unbelief so you have to realize I have to counter words that are weapons no weapon formed against or weapons you remember when Jesus was led of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and the devil attacked him in his identity and Hammer if you're the Son of God if you're the Son of God Jesus bobbed his gluteus maximus nearly off the planet with god's word the demo was speaking and those words were weapons and Jesus countered those weapons with the ultimate weapon God's Word it is written it is written it is written we're supposed to learn from that I hope everybody in here has been taught one of the basics of faith that faith speaks and that mark 11:23 says whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe you received them and you shall have them that's verse 24 verse 23 talks about speaking to the mountain you have to speak to a problem see many of you are letting your sickness talk to you your sickness is telling you you're gonna die your sickness is telling you you're not gonna get healed your sickness is talking to you you have to talk to the sickness okay now the only one that's had a problem and the problem is talking to me it's telling me I'm not gonna make it it's telling me God ain't gonna come through this time he's telling me it works for others but it won't use this huh I can't keep letting those weapons those worms get into my heart I got a counter on them I got to fight back I got to speak to my mountain I have to bind the mountain from speaking to me and now I speak to you I cast you into the sea here's what we do people condemn us and we use our tongue and words now against them usually we won't do it to their face we go behind their back we find a friend and we go can you believe what she said about me now you're condemning her we cannot condemn the just that's an abomination but we have to counter those words what Isaiah said is that I can condemn the tongue I can condemn the words you know that healing sister that that healing don't you know that it in for today don't you know that it in God's will it's not God's will to heal everybody you're gonna have to counter that if you're gonna believe you receive and you don't counter it with words against the vessel that just condemned you you condemn those words you get off in your prayer cloths that I don't believe that I don't receive that I buy in those words I believe healing is for today and I believe you are faithful to your nature and character and your promises are yesterday men in Jesus to the glory of God I just believe I receive I'm the yield I bind those other words of death and I speak words of life by His stripes I am healed in Jesus name in Jesus name I'm not condemning the person that tried to condemn me I'm condemning the words that were weapons of the enemy to cause me to lose my confidence in receiving my healing everybody okay so far now let me get into the hard stuff number four the law the law is what is condemning most of God's people and they don't even realize it and Satan skillfully is using the law to work condemnation in their hearts so they lose their confidence toward God most people do not have it I'm just going to say these things some of them I got so much stuff in my heart we'll go to somewhere but second Corinthians chapter 3 verse 6 through 9 says that the Old Testament law was an administration of condemnation and death that the purpose of the law was to condemn you go to go to Roman's 3 God didn't give the law to save man or he definitely failed miserably some of you are scared that what I just said God didn't give the law to save anybody or he failed miserably because no one has ever been justified in the sight of God under the law so the law wasn't given to save people the law was given to make you guilty the law was given to condemn you the law was given to show you that you need a Savior do you know you can't get saved till you see you're lost do know it's impossible for God to save you until you know you're lost if you think you're saved God can't save you know lujah so what's purpose of the law show me I'm lost condemn me make me feel guilty so that I don't put any confidence in me or self-righteousness or my ability to keep some righteous standard and earn my way to heaven or earn my way to favor with God in Romans chapter 3 verse 24 let's start there Romans 3:24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus at that's a powerful verse where we're justified freely by what God's grace through what Jesus Christ whom God verse 25 whom God has set forth to be the propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness his record see there's God's righteousness than their self-righteousness there's God's righteousness that comes by faith and there's man's righteousness that comes through religion let's read verse 25 again whom God hath set forth to be the propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past through the forbearance of God to declare I say at this time his righteousness see God's righteousness see God's righteousness is declared not earned God's righteousness is declared not earned to declare I say at this time his righteousness that he might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus where he's boasting then it's excluded by what law of works no but by the law of faith now go back to verse 19 now we know that what things soever the law saith it saith to them who were under the law that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may become guilty before God the purpose of law the purpose of that righteous standard was not to make you right but it was to stop your mouth and make you guilty before God because if you're going to try to be made right with God by the law you can't keep part of it some of it most of it almost all of it you got to keep it all and nobody can keep it all and so he that offends in one point is guilty of all now look at verse 20 therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his side for by the law the knowledge of sin what is the purpose of the law it's to make your sin known is to show you your sin what happens when I know my sin I feel condemned that's why you're not under the law but under grace in another have dominion over you if you're not under the law but under grace God doesn't want you to have this sin consciousness constantly of how messed up you really are or you won't have any confidence before you so when people innocently come back under works innocently try to earn God's blessing earn their healing earn their prosperity deserve it work for it you're gonna feel condemned and this happens to spirit-filled people all the time half of everybody I pray for I've prayed for thousands of people half of everybody I prayed for that's struggling they'll say something down this line to me man I have done everything you even told me to do I've done this this this how come God hadn't healed me yet well you just told me why God hadn't healed you because you believe you're gonna get healed based on what you do do you know what you just did you fell from grace okay go to Galatians I was taught when you fall from grace you're lost I'm sure glad the Bible doesn't teach that because I have fallen from grace a lot of times I got your attention now anytime I appeal to the law works my own holiness what I have done I am now putting faith in me versus faith in the grace of God that came in its fullness in Jesus Christ and when I do that I fall from grace look at what Paul said Galatians 5:1 stand fast therefore in the Liberty wherein Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again to the yoke of bondage behold I Paul say unto you that if you be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing for I testify again to every man that is circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law he's really not saying circumcision in and of itself as a sin or bad he's saying if you got circumcised though as I work of the law to get saved now you got to keep all them all you can't just do part of it look at verse 4 Christ has become of none effect of you whosoever of you who are justified by the law you are fallen from grace any time I appeal to the law which appeals to my holiness which appeals to my works which appeals to me keeping a standard to earn something from God I just fell from grace and you're not going to get healed through the law you're not going to get healed through your own works of righteousness you're going to you're not going to get healed by doing this this this and this you're gonna get healed if you get healed by the stripes of Jesus you're gonna get healed if you get healed by the grace of God through faith faith in what my own works no faith in the cross am i okay is it just thinking in why am I feeling some of you are going blasphemy blasphemy because I'm telling the entire denominations are under the law until the entire churches are under the law now if you said to them you're under the law they would say no we're not we're not keeping any of those ceremonial rituals we're not under the law but when you talk to them I'm gonna do this and do this and do this and do this to get God to do this you just fell from grace doesn't mean you're lost doesn't mean God quit loving you Galatians 2:20 and 21 says I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not i but Christ liveth in me and the life I now live in this flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me I do not frustrate the grace of God for if righteousness came by the law then Christ died in vain do you know how many spirit-filled people frustrate the grace of God how are they frustrating it they're looking to their own holiness well I'm not doing that okay why do you think God's not healing you well because I've really made some mistakes and I'm not doing all I should be doing and I haven't prayed as much as I should have prayed and I really haven't been in the word like I need to be you just frustrated grace and fell from it right there you're not saying you did this and did this and did this to get God to bless you you saying because you didn't do it and you didn't do it you didn't do it God isn't blessing it it's the same thing in the reverse and I really am trying to help somebody because I I've done this I've done this in the sense of you don't realize how you slip off into it and and allow the law to condemn you that you're really trying in your own self-effort to earn it to deserve it and in your heart of hearts you know you can't earn it and you don't deserve it I had a lady tell me one time she's crying and she was saying I don't know I just don't feel I'm worthy for God to heal me and I wasn't mad I was just upset and wanted to slap her I'm talking about in love because she's just going on and on about how unworthy she was because her own heart was condemning her everybody else a contender she was under the law and didn't know it trying to deserve everything and finally I don't know I just got frustrated and I said well I guess you're not going to heaven either then that scared her she quit wailing and bawling what do you mean we you don't go to heaven are you what do you mean well I don't know what I mean I'm just telling you about what you just told me you're not going to heaven right well I am going to head oh do you deserve to go to heaven have you earned your way to heaven are you worthy to go to heaven well no and you're still going yeah yeah well if you go to heaven without deserving it at earning it if you can go to heaven based on the work of the cross why can't you get healed on it it really was cool sometimes when I get frustrated that's when the wisdom of God just comes out of me to lovingly slap with a Holy Ghost slap someone who is self-destructing right in front of you none of us deserve to go to him I don't deserve to go to heaven but I'm here to tell you I'm going well why am I going because I believe in what Jesus did for me well I don't deserve to be healed but I've been walking in divine health for over three decades and I'm just gonna keep walking in divine health I don't deserve to prosper but man I'm just prospering hallelujah I don't deserve anything but I have everything why because of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ now let me close with this am i all right to go to Zechariah because I've mentioned words I mentioned how do you how do you deal with the devil directly if he really is directly condemning you you rebuke him you binding how do you deal with your own heart if your own hearts condemning you go to Zachariah chapter 4 you have to I wish I'd have taught it when we were there you're gonna have to go back with me now I've had to tell my own heart to shut up before do you remember if your heart condemn you God is greater than your heart and he knows all things remember that your heart sometimes doesn't know how forgiving you are your heart doesn't know how beloved you are of God your heart has no idea how much God loves you and so sometimes you just have to go shut up heart you don't know everything I'm just going to trust God have to bind my own heart I bind you me myself behind I now I know you think I'm weird but there's been times I've gone to bed tonight and I just had to tell my own heart God's greater than my heart I'm just not gonna listen to this I'm beating myself up and I just bind myself and I trust you God cuz you're greater than my heart you say you love me unconditionally I just accept it I don't know how you could love me unconditionally I don't love myself unconditionally did you know there are times if I could leave me I would have left me you ever had problems that you were dealing with with yourself and man if I could leave me I would leave me that's why if su ever was to pack and leave me I that wouldn't bother me I would understand that but I would just go into bedroom and put a suitcase beside hers and she said what are you doing I would say well you're leaving me I'm not staying here with me by myself I'm going with you there is no way I'm staying with me alone so we're both gonna leave me that's how you solve marital problems sue this left me many a time and I wait with her man you got the devil Hammond on you I hammering on your head you got your own conscience hammering on your head and you got people around you hammering on your head I still to this day can't understand anybody getting upset at me how could you get upset at me I think you have to have a demon to get mad at me and yet I have people so upset at me I've had people threaten to sue me I've had people attack me I've had people call me a cult what is wrong with everybody I don't I said one time I'll never make charisma magazine but if I ever did it would be on the cover the sheriff of grace Halliday then I'm the good guy I'm on your side I'm Waring a good war with you against the devil God's not the only one for you I'm for you so how do I do okay the devil okay my conscience my own heart okay others family members disgruntled church members you can go crazy Zechariah chapter 4 fan laughter doeth good like a medicine amen I done made myself happy I'm not trying to be funny but this was funny all right this is zerubabbel and look at what in the Old Testament God said verse 6 Necker I for six then he answered and spake unto me saying this is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel saying not by might not by power but by my spirit says well how are you gonna get healed not by might not by your power your ability to keep a righteous standard but by my spirit says the Lord did you know the Holy Spirit is the spirit of grace I don't know if you knew that because the book of Hebrews talks about doing despite to the spirit of grace yes it yeah it is you can pat me on the back just come up here there's nobody else is this is awesome look at this verse 7 who art Thou O great mountain before Saru beable thou shalt be can't become a plane and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof

shout grace grace to that mountain some of you need to write down I wish we could do it here but we you know this isn't my property and I don't want to tear it up but some of you just need to write
