The Root Of Sickness PART 1 | Mike Hoesch

mikesh here for healing journeys today and I can't tell if I'm live yet it has there we go hello everyone my name is my cash I'm here with healing journeys today a big thank you to the Hartman's for their heart and following Jesus in giving us this opportunity I hope that you have caught both there's been Herman Hudson Julianne Hardman Nicole Mehra Bach myself and Nicky Weller and they've all had some very good things to share this week this is something that we're going to be participating in through healing journeys today page to share the Heart of Jesus with you from the from the how each one of us were touched and if you didn't get a chance to see those I really encourage you to go and check them out because they were they were very good and I received some really good things myself and you know folks were all on a journey every one of us some are some of us are just in different places than others and our Father is faithful through Jesus to touch us along the way to lead us to that path like it says in proverbs chapter 3 it tells us that if we if we trust in the Lord with all of our heart and don't lean to what we're thinking our own understanding that but acknowledge him and that's what we're doing we're sharing with you how each one of us began to acknowledge him and it says that when we acknowledge him he is able to direct our paths and you know that path that he has prepared for you is full of love joy peace wholeness prosperity that's what our Father has provided for you and he exchanged his son's life so that that would be something sure for us and then our Savior Jesus raised up to make that effective in your life in mind so I really encourage you to tune in this is going to be a weekly thing right now it's the you can go to the to the site the Facebook page and you'll see the specific times but it's Sunday through Thursday right now and I know that Julianne and Butch's heart is to fill up all the days and that would be awesome a place for us to go to and just get that important word for that day so I encourage all of you to tune in it's going to continue to be awesome I do want to encourage all of us to you know set your heart to receive the goodness that Jesus has provided for us you know and and you're gonna have to step away from your religious thinking in order to do that because religious thinking is what almost killed me and we could even go one more step further and that's really what I want to talk about today is that our natural thinking how that natural thinking keeps us from seeing the root of sickness and disease and there is a root behind sickness and disease and that's what Jesus dealt with every time he ministered to someone I love the way it's recorded in Acts chapter 10 verse 38 it tells us there that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power and he went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil that's an important verse it was a turning point in my healing journey when I allowed that scripture to go beyond my intellectual assent - wow that's awesome you know God was doing wonderful things in Jesus - actually realizing what that was saying what that verse was saying is that Jesus didn't focus on the natural reaction or the natural symptom that people were having actually he focused on what was the root behind the sickness and what was that root behind the sickness that was a spiritual oppression of the devil in fact John emphasized this in first John chapter 3 verse 8 he says for this purpose was the Son of God manifested to destroy or to loose the works or the deeds something that's been done by the devil for this purpose the Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil see that's what Jesus came to do and part of that loosing of those works from folks that were impressed by the devil was removing the spiritual route and even though that spiritual route I mean I should put it this way that spiritual route didn't just produce like demonic oppression in the sense that you know they were manifesting out madness you might say but it manifested in sickness and disease remember that it's the enemy Satan who corrupted the good that God put in this world and he's the one behind sickness and disease I don't know if any of you were able to catch the live Bible study from Andrew Wommack but he made a very good point that I was reminded of through him sharing and I'm just gonna read that here for you it's it's an awesome point it tells us that give me one second here I'll find it here it says for as much then I'm in Hebrews chapter 2 verse 4 tene it says for as much then as children are partakers of flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death that is the devil you know all sickness all disease if it's left alone it is going to follow its course or the path that the devil has set it up to follow and that is death it's going to lead you to be separate from the life that God gave you in your physical body that's the purpose behind sickness and disease remember the devil has three blessings that's all he has it's called death destruction and loss so anything that you're experiencing in your life that falls into that that category whether it's sickness disease mental emotional oppression whatever it is that's robbing you of life of health of joy of peace that is from the devil and I think that's very important for us you know I'm gonna give you some examples from the word here about how the devil what I mean Jesus was not devil focused but he was spiritually minded Paul instructs us in Romans chapter eight that to be naturally minded is death now we all think of death as you know you cease to exist but the definition for death that the Bible uses from Genesis to Revelation as just a simple meaning of separation in the context tells you what that death is affecting take for example the Lord told the Lord told the Lord told Adam in the very beginning he said the day that you eat of this tree you shall surely die and we know that when he a the tree he didn't die physically but he was separated from the spiritual life of the father that was in him when he was created and that spirit left him so we have to remember when it says that to be carnally minded his death we have to ask the question separation from what its separation from life and it goes on to say but but to be spiritually minded is life and peace look at Jesus's life he walked in peace he walked in life everywhere he went so that tells us that he was spiritually minded in all things in other words he used the weapons that he had in the spiritual realm to overcome all the oppression that the enemy was coming against him with as well as to execute the office and the calling that the father had given him to be our Savior he walked in the spirit to do that let's be reminded where he said in John chapter 5 that he said of my own self I can do nothing in mark Matthew chapter 12 he said that he cast out Devils by the spirit of his father do you know that same spirit is dwelling in every single born-again believer and it's through that spirit that we can use the weapons that we have been given we're told in second Corinthians that the weapons of our warfare are not in the natural realm they're there nothing to do with the carnal or the flesh but the weapons God has given us are mighty through him what is God God is a spirit it tells us in John 4:24 and that spirit is greater than any any opposing force that could come against us physical or spiritual and so it goes on to tell us in there that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but they are mighty through God to pull down those strongholds and that's what the enemy brings in plants in our life through our thoughts and when we begin to cooperate with that we give place to the enemy and that is the root of sickness and disease but how do you deal with that root that's sickness and disease remember Paul also shared in Ephesians chapter 6 that our struggle is not against flesh and blood I remember when I was very sick and I would read that Scripture and I'd say that is not true I would say look at me if I didn't have all these physical symptoms I would be fine what I'm fighting against are these physical symptoms was that true not really the Bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against we could just sum that up as the devil and all of his hosts so how does that work how does that how is that connected well I touched on it just a second ago but let's let's look at this let's think about this just for a second let's say you have a tree in your backyard and I had one of these when I lived in Arizona and every year it made a mess it had this inedible fruit I don't even know what it was called and it just made a mess every single year you know the the leaves would come out and then all of a sudden all this this fruit starts coming out it just makes a mess all over the yard and if you have like I had zero scape so I had this gravel and it's just like impossible to keep clean and and so I could have done one of two things I could have gone out there in the spring and I could have just severely pruned that canopy so it wouldn't have produced any fruit but what would happen once that all grew back out well the fruit would come back and so if I just keep trimming the branches back all I'm doing is I'm actually strengthening the tree itself because now all its energy is going into its root system and the branch system to support us make it stronger and more rooted in there the if I want to really get rid of that tree I have to pull it up by the roots you know that's how Jesus dealt with sickness and disease and every person he ministered to remember what I shared in Acts chapter 10 verse 38 Jesus dealt with the oppression of the devil behind the sickness and disease stop for a second that's the root that's in the ground that if you don't pull that root out you're going to just have that tree eventually sprout again in fact the Bible talks about you can go down and cut you can cut a tree off of its and leave the stump in the ground and it says if it gets enough moisture it's going to start sprouting again that's just the law that is in the seed that produced that tree once those roots are established all they're all they're capable of doing is continuing to grow if they're in the right conditions now let's look at that in light of sickness and disease now I think every one of the speakers that have spoken thus far and will speak in the future if you listen to their testimonies which I encourage you to go and watch at Andrew Wommack ministries which is a WMI dotnet and if you'll go to the healing testimonies and if you watch all those healing testimonies you'll see you'll begin to see that the deliverance that everyone received started with the seed and that seed was spiritual and that spiritual seed was the Word of God listen to all their testimonies I'm thinking of you know just thinking of Julian's testimony where she began to hear the word of God and in this video it shows her actually walking up and down her halls and just speaking the word over and over and over and what was she doing she had received a seed that Jesus was her way of escape now she was a born-again Christian most of her life she knew Jesus as her Savior but she wasn't experiencing the fruit being manifested outward into her life but rather the the enemy had brought this fibromyalgia into her life and wanted to do it began to kill steal and destroy in her life and I was just picturing in my mind how she was walking up and down and speaking the word over so she was watering the seed that was sown and when that seed reached and started blossoming in her heart what did it produce separation from the oppression of the devil that was oppressing her in their life the same exact thing happened in my life I was a Christian for many years I taught Bible studies I worked at a church I was an assistant to the pastor I was constantly exposed to the word I loved studying it was a it was a thrill it was a joy in my life you can ask my wife I would spend hours in the word but when I got sick none of that seemed to work okay because I still had in my mind that there was some natural problem that needed a natural solution I mean it just makes sense I mean you go to the doctor's think about this point for a moment if you go to a doctor and they do all these tests and they're you know they're scanning you you're you know they're looking sticking needles in you they're drawn stuff out of you they're looking at every go through every orifice you got and they're trying to figure out what's wrong with you and the doctor comes he's got this big old report and starting to read it to you one thing you never heard a doctor tell you is that I see here Mike that your problem is oppression of the devil see they would never tell you that because they can only look at the natural realm all of their tests are designed to look at the fruit okay they can inspect a tree they can pick it apart and tell you exactly what kind it is what you know it's it's uh it's generations you know what seeds that came out of once it's related you they tell you all that it can tell you every bit of that but they can't tell you what is in that seed that actually produced all of this they have their theories and their ideas but it's the law that God put in that seed that makes that tree a tree makes it bear fruit well God works the exact same laws in the spiritual realm and the doctor can't see that he can't see that behind your sickness and disease that's manifesting in your body that the enemy started years ago with the seed and as you cooperated with that seed unwittingly you cooperated with that seed it get it gave place as Paul puts it in Ephesians 4 it gives place to the devil jesus said that the devil had no place in him that means the devil had no opportunity to plant a seed that would grow to fruition and we don't have to allow that either but like in my case I let that seed grow because I didn't know what was oppressing me I was like fighting but I didn't know what I was swinging at you know Paul uses that analogy that in its lip Ian's that he says you know I don't fight like one that beats the air and if you're not aware of the root of the sickness and disease in your life and I'm not talking you know what emotion or what lie or this or that that's not as important as acknowledging that there is a spiritual connection to that disease that is giving it life and if you cut that connection off it it's like pulling a tree up by the roots it might it might still have fruit on the tree I remember during one of the hurricanes I saw a tree that had been uprooted by the hurricane and when they were and and I saw it in this one broadcast and it was laden with some kind of fruit I don't know what it was and I saw it again like you know five days later the same you know reporters was like showing you the aftermath and what was happening and there that tree was now it didn't look the same because all the leaves were withered but the fruit still looked like you could go pick it off and eat it if it was edible and that's exactly what happens can happen in our life and if you listen to the testimonies of all the ones that have shared as well as my own testimony you'll see that everyone got to a place where they uprooted the sickness and disease because they had pulled it up by the truth that they chose to believe from God's Word over the lies that they were believing and when they accepted that truth it uprooted it because it removed the place for the devil so what I want to encourage you today is that I'm going to give you an example about how Jesus dealt with sickness and disease and what I'm encouraging you today and it's impossible for me to you know carry this topic to its full depth so I've got hours of teaching on my website that you can go to and listen that will expand on all these points from the word I'm thinking of there's two teachings I do one is called understanding the devices of the enemy the other is the natural vs. the spiritual I'm kind of drawing from points and revelation that I received from those in those teachings that I expressed in greater detail so I'm just kind of skimming the surface here and if you'd like to see those you can either go to my youtube channel mikesh or you can go to the ministry website which that's the preferred location because I actually have articles written there as well as audio teachings and the website is Mike Hesh ministries.com Mike Hesh ministries.com and and I think that in the future we'll be able to have you know a lower third with our name and website or references or links to things that you can go to in the future but for now this is still in its infant stages and we're just learning to walk here so we're just crawling along so anyway I want to use an example from the Word of God what Jesus actually looked looked at when he delivered people I love this illustration I remember reading it and and thinking well I'll just tell you what the Lord told me one day I was reading this and the Lord told me read it without the benefit of the narration and I thought to myself what see we don't realize that much of what we're reading in the scriptures has a viewpoint of the narrator that get that adds information that wasn't present when those people were sitting there like I'm gonna read from Luke chapter 13 where Jesus was in a synagogue and he's preaching and ministering in the synagogue now put yourself as one of those people in the synagogue see the way the writer conveys it by the Spirit is he gives you a lot of information that adds clarity so that you know some of the dots are connected for you and it helps you to get a clearer understanding but if put yourself in the shoes of those people there and what they're seeing what they're not seeing the information they're getting so here in this account we're going to read about how do jesus healed this woman and if you're this woman that had been bent over for many years now if you were in that synagogue and you would have only seen Jesus speaking you would have heard Jesus speaking and you may have unknown the woman but you may not have known any backstory on that woman you might have noticed her when you came in to the fellowship and sat down you might have noticed that there was this woman who was sitting down but she was bent over she couldn't sit up like normal people and so that's the picture you might have and then you see Jesus ministering to this woman and then she's immediately made straight so you could easily think in your mind that Jesus just separated whatever that physical problem was from her so for with that information let's go ahead and read this and I'm gonna try and leave out some of the the narration as I read okay so I'm in Luke chapter 13 and it says verse 10 it says and he was teaching in one of the synagogue's on the Sabbath and behold there was a woman which was bowed together and could in no wise lift up herself just a second I got things popping up on the screen and I had no idea what to do with them so it goes on to say it says and when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said unto her woman Thou Art Loosed from thine infirmity and he laid notice the order of this he spoke to her first and then he laid his hands on her and she was immediately made straight and glorified God notice this woman didn't fall down and start worshiping Jesus she started glorifying God see again you have it you have to put yourself in the place of these people see they saw Jesus as just another mr. another prophet of God they didn't see the fullness of who he was the Messiah they didn't see that or understand the spiritual part behind that so this woman was like just picture yourself in a in a healing service and you receive healing you're not gonna start praising the guy who laid hands on you you're gonna just be shouting for joy that Jesus touched you amen that God came down and just you know freed you from that sickness or disease that might be what you're thinking and that's this woman has got that same thing going on here now it goes on now we all know religious people like this listen to what this the the ruler of the synagogue says and the verse 14 and the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day that's amazing to me there's still people like that in our churches today it says and and said unto the people there are six days in which men ought to work in them therefore come and be healed but not on the Sabbath day the Lord then answered him and said thou hypocrite doth not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering see up to this point we have no clue as to what happened when Jesus ministered to this woman okay let's just stop for a second here let's this woman's bent over you know she can't stand up straight she's like this now if you were to take her to a spine specialist today okay what do you think they would say they would say she probably has osteoarthritis fused vertebrae severe scoliosis you know they'd have a whole list of things you know a genetic you know what congenital spine disorder they'd have all these diagnoses about her condition and do you know from the natural perspective they would be all correct but listen to what Jesus diagnosed this woman's problem as see he didn't just look at her physical condition he looked on her heart and he saw the oppression of the devil remember Acts chapter 10 verse 38 tells us that every person jesus healed he delivered them from oppression of the devil now listen carefully this is what Jesus says verse 15 he says to the man you hypocrite you know you've got an ass to knocks you go loose them on the Sabbath day and take him for watering he says and ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan hath bound lo these 18 years be loosed from her bond on this be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day wow what an awesome point see Jesus was showing us that he was looking beyond her physical condition - what was causing the condition notice remember I paused in the beginning when I said first you know picture in your mind you're there at in the synagogue and this woman is listening to Jesus he's ministering truth it says he's preaching in the synagogue and at some point there was some witness within Jesus that this woman was open to receive healing from him and so what did what did he do he called her forth how do we know well it says put yourself in her shoes now she's bent over it's probably not easy for her to get around get up and down you know we we don't realize that we can stand up straight and how we use our body weight to help us stand up and and sit down and move around and it was probably a difficult thing for this woman but it says he called her to him why didn't Jesus go over there well just like you and I this spirit in him was bearing witness and by calling her that her response to that would speak volumes to Jesus you know she responded when she came to Jesus what did he do he said woman you are loosed from your infirmity loosed from your infirmity do you know it says I quoted it earlier in 1st John 3:8 for this purpose was the son of God manifested to destroy the works of the devil you know the word destroy there is the same Greek word that's used for loose here see Jesus loosed the work of the devil in this woman's life see that's that was the purpose he came he addressed the root of the sickness you know there's many folks that have gone to the doctor and they'll uh they'll tell him hey you guys diagnosis if we do surgery we can remove this but can they ever remove the cause of what they're taking out they can't they're looking at if they remove that then the body might be able to you know catch up and be able to recover on its own but they can never address the spiritual cause behind sickness and disease and early on when I was diagnosed I knew that truth that's why when when they told me what they did I knew that my answer was in God that he was my solution that he was the only one that could get to the root of the sickness and the disease so let's go on here it says that when he laid his hands and first he said thou art loosed from thine infirmity and then he laid his hands on her so Jesus dealt not only with the the spiritual oppression the seed the root behind the sickness the manifestation in her life the fruit being her being bent over Jesus commanded that that connection that root be pulled up and then what did he do he laid his hands on her and she was immediately made straight see our our Savior doesn't just deal with the physical part that you can see because he knows that that's not true deliverance that's a band-aid that's not deliverance and our Savior loves us too much to have only provided a band-aid he's provided healing total complete healing do you realize that if healing was available or only in the natural realm it wouldn't have been necessary for Jesus to come no not to die on a tree but the reason he had to die on the tree was to deal with the spiritual root the oppression of the devil the the origin of sickness and disease which was spiritual that's what Jesus took away that's what he bore away and the fruit of that being freed from that oppression of the devil is deliverance not only spiritually but physically as well and that's why Jesus came if it was just a natural problem then there would have been a natural solution but even in Exodus 23 25 God separates the natural from the spiritual he says I'll bless your bread in your water that's the natural realm but he said I Jehovah will take away sickness and disease from the midst of thee how did he do that he did that through His Son Jesus Christ that's how he removed sickness and disease from us so if if we are just approaching sickness disease even mental oppression like Nicole spoke about yesterday that was awesome she dealt with the root - she saw that there's a root behind the PTSD the bipolar and Jesus dealt with that by pitching her heart where it it had that bad seed in there I encourage you to watch that testimony it's a great illustration of what this principle that God is sharing with us today through his words so back to Luke 13 in Luke 13 he's telling us that hey look I laid hands on this woman after I dealt with the spiritual issue and that's what he did and when he laid his hands on her he just called forth a life remember this woman unlike born-again believers today did not have the indwelling spirit living within her but the Spirit of God was in Christ 2nd Corinthians 5:19 tells us that God was in Christ reconciling thoroughly changing the world unto himself and he did that in the person of our Savior Jesus Christ and that's what Jesus was doing and that's why he needed to lay hands on her was because the virtue the power to to free her body was in Christ Jesus amen and that virtue you can read many accounts where it talks about the power flowing out of him that virtue is in every born-again believer think about Romans 8:11 it tells us that the same spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead is dwelling in every born-again believer and that that spirit is there listen it's the Spirit is there to give and preserve life to our mortal that means dying bodies see that's how God provided us a way to live in dying bodies the full promise of life that he's given us it's not through natural that means they're they do provide needs for our body that's why God created them but healing and wholeness comes only through this of God and because we've accepted the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ and now we're born again that spirit is dwelling in us and I can testify the day that I accepted the truth and I rejected the lie that kept the enemy its place in me when that was broken I knew that I was healed in that moment now I didn't see any instant manifestation outwardly but I knew inside because I had so many things going wrong on the inside of me I knew in a moment that that was done that that was over with so the same thing happened in my case has happened here that I'm reading in Luke 13 the moment I embrace the truth It was as if Jesus was saying Mike you're loosed from your infirmity how did that happen by me believing the Word of God over what I was believing that was keeping the enemy a place in my life and once that was over my body was now able to receive the quickening that giving and preserving life by the Spirit dwelling in me and what I had for eight years was completely gone in eight months now I didn't see any change right away I didn't I didn't need to because I had the witness inside of me that it was done it was over with I knew it was finished and accomplished that's the same message that I want all of us to receive and let that being reinforced in our hearts today and that's why I believe the father led me to this place to communicate this point to you to help you to see Mike it was difficult for me to see in the midst of my pain in the midst of all those symptoms that hate that's that's not what you're really dealing with think about it an apple looks very different the route that it's growing out of doesn't it but yet that route produced that Apple and that's the same way sickness and disease works it's the route it's the spiritual root of Satan that has planted a seed and cultured it or or promoted it through other things that we've believed and allowed in our life to where it blossoms into death destruction or loss that's all this can come out of the seeds that the enemy shows in our life so I'm gonna wrap it up there I believe there's gosh I could go on and on it cuz it's a it's a subject that's near and dear to my heart it really set me free and I've ministered to so many people who once they embrace that their ears are open to hear more clearly you know we are his sheep we do hear his voice but I know I don't always hear perfectly clear because I'm listening through a filter but praise God for His word that word will pierce it will cut through every filter that we have in our mind and our heart if we will continue to let that word be sowed into our heart and begin to water that so anyway that's that's all I have today I look forward to our time next Thursday I want to encourage all of you that that are watching and first of all I encourage you to share this with everyone not just my testimony but let people become aware of that site because there's so many good truths there that God can use to minister to our heart to break those connections that oppression of the devil in our life so that we can see our health spring forth speedily so if you please I haven't had a chance to look at the the comments at all I'm a one track kind of guy so I haven't been looking at any of the comments but I'm gonna take some time afterwards here to read through them and if you have any any anything you'd like to receive prayer or ministry for I encourage you you can include that there there's a ministry team with healing journeys today that will be able to minister to those requests and also I again I want to remind you that everything I'm going to share I go into much greater detail in teachings that I have on my website at mikesh ministries.com and again I just want to say thank you very much to julienne and butch their hearts to follow Jesus in this you know this is this is a challenge to do and to maintain but because they have strength that goes beyond their physical person Jesus Christ he's empowered them to do this and I just love the work that he is accomplishing through their hearts agreement with him and and you can expect to see much more from them as far as this because they like me just despise the devil and the sickness that he has oppressed God's people within the world and so anyway I'm gonna sign off now god bless you I pray that in Jesus name that the words that I spoke today that they will go into the hearts and minds of every person that will hear them and that they will produce the fruit of love joy peace gentleness meekness temperance faith goodness everything that our Father has for them and father I thank you for quickening it to them that they through your truth will be free free indeed so amen god bless you all and tune in again on Sunday I believe it's 9:00 a.m. for Herman and Raquel Hudson god bless you
