herself out jesus saw her called her forward and said to her woman you are set free from your infirmity then he laid his hands on her and immediately she straightened up and she praised god i want to preach for a little while this morning using as a subject i didn't think it would affect me like this i didn't think it would affect me like this would you look at the person beside you and just say to him would you pray for me please i didn't think it would affect me like this there's a physiotherapist in sydney australia who are standing on the side of the field to attend to wounded rugby players during an intensive match-up many of the agile athletes ended up limping to his table from a litany of injuries ranging from a pulled hamstring to a calf strain dr damien finis ministered to each of them with a top of the line ultrasound instrument that utilizes sound waves to alleviate pain within under 15 minutes each of the six teammates exclaimed that they felt better and were prepared to go back on the field it wasn't until the end of the game that dr finis realized that the machine wasn't even plugged up it was then the epiphany hit that all of his pseudo-patients were healed by the placebo effect the placebo effect is the incontrovertible demonstration of mind over matter the medicinal community is replete with examples of individuals who have taken what constitutes a sugar pill or undergone a stimulated treatment but felt that their bodies were better simply because their minds told them so because their mind sent a message to their bodies their bodies responded by the message that the mind had spent take for instance airborne airborne has not been verified by the fda to do anything but millions buy it before getting on planes to convince themselves that they're being protected it is the expectation of thought that influences behavior the african philosophers coined the expression that the greek philosopher stole according to gm james in his book stolen legacy i think therefore i am proverbs 23 and 7 says as a man as a woman thinketh so is he so is she hints the placebo effect i want to ask you this morning albeit rhetorically maybe you are where you are because of what you think of yourself maybe you really don't think that you deserve better that you can have better or that you can live better and so your environment is responding to your thinking maybe you're frustrated angry bitter recalcitrant because your mind is responding to the messages your mind is sending it is in no uncertain terms the placebo effect as a cinema aficionado during my season of the insomnia i switched over to the classic movie channel and fell engrossed in an old black and white film entitled gaslight it's produced in 1944 it tells the tale of a world famous opera singer who is murdered in her own home but gets away with no valuables because the famous opera singer's 14 year old niece walks in on them so he escapes out the back row after the tragedy the young 14 year old niece is sent away to boarding school years later she mysteriously meets a man who takes her on a two-week whirlwind romance and convinces her to marry him soon as they finish the honeymoon he immediately convinces her to move into the deceased aunt's estate soon after they move in pictures start disappearing off the wall brooches are gone from the box furniture is removed from the attic and from the basement all while her husband you're trying to convince her that it was never there it is only at the climax of the film that the viewer discovers the man she married is the same man that killed her on he came back to finish the job it is the gas light effect the gaslight effect hear me well is when somebody tries to make you think you are crazy when you know that you are not you know what you've seen you know what you heard you know what you felt and they tirelessly trying to convince you that your thoughts are not real that what you saw is imagine and what you heard has been misunderstood i want to tell you if nobody else will tell you you are not crazy you are just connected to somebody who is at the center for anxiety disorders center for dis anxiety disorders.com they unravel the phenomenon within psychiat psychiatry called psychosomatic it is the manifestation of physical illness that has been activated by an internal conflict identified as stress for the parents who are in the room you you have one of your children who would cry so heavily until they acted like they were getting ready to vomit you had to calm them down why because they were making themselves sick in the simplest of forms it is pain that impacts the body that emanates from the mind so there's so many of you who are in this room so many who are watching online who got pain in your chest but the x-rays can't identify anything for somebody who's sitting three rolls over from you who have to combat serial migraines but have no traceable source you have to stop making yourself sick my godfather was in tip-top shape did three miles on a treadmill a day maintained a healthy lifestyle held up the same weight ate healthily every day and a few years ago unbeknownst to our family had an undetected stroke nobody in the family could understand what happened all of his blood levels were fine his cholesterol was fine until the doctors deduced that it came from stress don't let your thoughts take a toll the stress that you have already endured the and stress that you have already lived under has already had too much of an effect on your physical well-being much of the church cries and clamors and charismatic circles around being debt-free but i speak over every person who is in this room not for you to be debt-free while that may be good but i speak over those of you who have ears to hear the spirit of the lord says to the church this is your hour to live stress-free for some of you that doesn't mean anything but for those of you who have been under heavy weight of stress and you need god to alleviate the stress in your life would you give god glory like all of it has been resolved [Applause] y'all sound like you ain't been under that much stress but if you've been under the kind of stress where you can't sleep through the night it's impacting your eating it's affecting your concentration it's messing up your focus but you are believing that before this month is over everything that has been a trigger for stress is going to be arrested under the hand of the almighty god i dare you to give god glory like you believe this battle is not mine this battle is the lord stress-free stress-free i'm prophesying and you don't even recognize it stress-free i dated just elbow who's sitting next to you tell them for the rest of your life stress-free that don't mean you ain't gonna have no problem but you ain't gonna lose your mind over it stress fresh you don't mean bills ain't gonna come but i serve jehovah gyra stress fresh [Applause] one sunday one sunday jesus sauntered into the sanctuary and he spotted a woman he recognized a woman in church who had been crippled and luke who is the only physician out of all of the disciples reads for us her medical chart that she's been crippled for 18 years here's what i would have you to know is that this woman in luke chapter 13 is not paraplegic woman in our text does not have spinal bifida the woman in the bible has no choice of paralysis the woman in luke chapter 13 has no cane but the text tells us she's bent over legendary lena horne said is not the load that breaks you it's the way you carry it jesus is in the church and he identifies her you're not going to believe it she's not calling out for help she's not waving her hand in worship she is not screaming jesus recognizes her in church and he needs some sisters to hear me because her posture is off he doesn't understand how she is a queen bent over her posture was the problem and jesus realized that queens don't crumble michelle obama said when they go low we go god says something is wrong with a woman i have ordained assigned and appointed and your posture is off says i do not want you bent over because if you're bent over you can't look your destiny in the eye i do not want you bent over hear this because i don't want you to stoop down to other people's standards says i do not want you bent over why this because i don't want you to lower yourself to your haters expectation he says i've got to have you lifted up because something has happened along the line that you have forgotten who it is that you are it is the intention of the enemy for you to be bent over because he does not want you to walk erect with the power and the authority that god has trusted you with god may not have noticed her bent over at work at the office in the store at the gas station at home but how are you going to come in god's house bent over when you come into god's house it ought to do something in you to understand greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world [Applause] and i i need you if you'll help me right through here would you just rub the back of some sister next to you and tell them you ain't supposed to be bent over i know that life has not been fair i know that people have been cruel i know that you've had to deal with a whole lot but you got a crown on your head girl get yourself together and straighten yourself out you are not supposed to be bent over [Music] depending on what kind of grandmother you had depending on what kind of grandmother you had some of us had a grandmother that used to say if you keep rolling your eyes [Applause] or we had the same grandmother if you keep rolling your eyes they're going to get stuck in the back of your head and what god is saying if you keep stooping down you're gonna run the risk of getting stuck but god told me to tell you you have had your last season bent over so people will take you for granted you you didn't had your last season of negroes talking to you crazy and thinking they can get away with it you don't have your laughs [Applause] they have taken your kindness for granted and it's got you twisted you've been over and isn't it amazing how long she's been over don't take my word for it y'all don't know me that good look at what it says in the bible she has been over here's your shout for 18 years past i'm i'm i'm lost i i don't know what you're telling me is that her entire season of motherhood bent her she had to expend so much energy being a mother she lost her identity there is more to her than being some baby's mama god did not call you to put your dream aside you are gifted to multitask y'all ain't saying nothing to me you going back to school you gonna finish that book

you cashing a lot how many houses you got a lot how many gifts you got [Applause] says how long have you been in this position for 18 years i got to ask you how long you've been stuck how long you then gave up on your dream how long you'd have made yourself second how long have you rewarded yourself with second-class citizenship how long have you been out of order with your stance you you've been bent over since the divorce you've been bent over since you got laid off you've been bent over since harry left you've been bent over since money ran out and the bible says she did everything she could to get herself straightened out and it wouldn't work she thought she could do it under her own power under her own devices out of her own savvy out of her influence and none of it worked she thought changing her head would do it she thought changing her wardrobe would do it she thought just light and scented candles would do it putting up a vision board would do it none of that would work becoming more involved than the sorority would do it none of it what becoming a vegan that didn't do it watching self-help videos listening to podcasts hearing classical music clearing out your space still not straightened out how how long you gonna be half the woman i designed you to be how long you gonna allow yourself to be less than the calling that's on your life how long you don't even see the full effulgence of the majesty that i have in mind for your destiny and your assignment you think i anointed you for bills you think my hand is on your life that the only compliment they can give you is you and queue she just couldn't pull herself together she couldn't do nothing she tried everything and still he wouldn't straighten up jesus who is omniscient immediately identifies what's wrong with her the diagnosis is clear look at luke chapter 13 when you get home i'm in verse number 11. jesus says this woman who's bent over and stuck has the spirit of infirmity y'all ain't gonna like it um she has a spirit of infirmity that means new birth she ain't really sick the spirit of infirmity is a disabling spirit it is demonic deformity and so the enemy keeps attacking your body hallelujah as if god ain't a healer but i'm believing that healing is getting ready to happen for some woman in this room today some of y'all don't need it but i declare it and i decree it come total physical restoration over every woman that is on medication over every woman that's got pain in her body over every woman who has an abnormal growth to every woman who is facing a decision of surgery

remember when jesus got off the ship and the demoniac came running towards him and he starts cutting his flesh saying why have you come to torment me ahead of schedule because whenever the devil is after a man he comes for his mind first y'all getting ready to miss it but isn't it amazing get it amazing that when the devil is after a woman he goes after her body first because he knows a god-fearing woman if her body is off target it'll start captivating her mind but i came to cover the body of every mother in this room i speak against lupus and fibroids and thyroids that rupture the
