Wednesday - Faith For Healing: #13 The Healing Of The Lunatic Boy Pt.II

[Music] [Music] this ain't no time to turn [Music] good morning class hi i'm keith moore and this is faith school faith school is the place where my spirit is fed where my faith grows stronger where i learn how to be an overcomer it is so good to win it is so good to overcome hallelujah and that's god's will for us every time the scripture said he he always causes us to triumph so believe there is an answer believe there is help no matter what you're dealing with believe it before you see it and he'll cause you to see it and find it father we all agree together about this today asking you for the utterance that only you can give asking you for the illumination that only you can give the answers the grace the anointing and supply of the spirit that that quickens us and makes us strong to overcome we say lord get glory to yourself in us in every part of our lives in every way and we know that glory includes victories in you in jesus name amen amen would you look please in mark the ninth chapter again continuing in our study of these individual accounts of healing in the ministry of jesus we've studied them one by one these 20 accounts we're down to number 13 and it's the healing of what the scripture calls the lunatic son and in mark 9 and about verse 14 it says when jesus came to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes questioning with them and straightway all the people when they beheld him were greatly amazed and running to him saluted him he asked the scribes what questioned you with them one of the multitude answered and said master i have brought to you my son which has a dumb spirit now what we see is that jesus frequently dealt with spirits not in every situation no but frequently it was a common thing that he commanded spirits to leave and when the spirits left the problem was no longer now in modern society there's a whole lot of people that think they are too educated to believe that and i don't know what other folks think they think well you know what jesus had to do with that but i guess that was just a problem they had back then [Laughter] now now spiritual things are real we are spirit beings we live in a body but we're spirits and you can exist apart from your body and you you won't be changing to something else you'll still be you you are not a body you live in a body you you are our spirit and soul and so if you believe the bible we are spirits because we've been created by the father of spirits god himself is spirit and he has created other beings that are not human angels if you believe the bible you have to believe that too they are not human and yet they are real and they are individuals and they vary there's there's different kinds of angels they're uh cherubim and and there are various kinds and archangels and there's a whole rank uh and there are god is called the the lord of hosts and the hosts represent many many of these beings sometimes people ask you know with a puzzled look looking up in the night sky i wonder if there's life out there oh yeah oh man i wonder if there's any life outside of uh terran you know are there extra terrestrials oh yeah always have been in fact we are the johnny-come-lately human beings to some of this and there's a whole other group which are different kinds of beings too evil spirits ungodly spirits unclean spirits they're also called demons but i almost don't like using that word sometimes because people have a hollywood idea of of demon and that and they think monster and something that just scare you uh you know out of your wits and that is not reality they are fallen stripped defeated beings and they seek to manipulate and control through deception through lies through trickery and we as children of god if you think right you have no fear of them at all and you're bold to stop their operations when you become aware of them by the authority that's been given in the name of jesus now in order for us to see the kind of results and and the kind of miracles and deliverances and healings that we read about here we have to do it the same way we can't ignore what he did you can't say well yeah i know we have similar sounding problems but uh you know that bothers me i'm scared of all that spirit stuff and well i i'm just me i don't think i could rebuke and say well you'll get no results because the you can't do it a different way than jesus did it and get the same result you got to do it the way he did it if that was what was wrong then it's still what's wrong now if that's the way to deal with it then it's still the way to deal with it now he said my son has this dumb spirit and he described what happened how he foams and convulses and falls and and all that and jesus points out the problem why the results have not already manifested he said oh faithless and twisted generation how long shall i be with you how long shall i suffer you and they brought him to him and when he saw him straightway the spirit tear him and i believe it could be you could understand it this way when the spirit saw jesus he immediately went into his thing and the boy goes into a convulsion and fell on the ground and wallowed foaming and this is interesting to me instead of jesus going oh no oh what in the world [Laughter] instead of that he just looks over at his father and says how long has this been going on and the boy is laying writhing and there's a lesson here i said there's a lesson here the enemy is counting on shocking you and scaring you into panic and see panic paralyzes and and and the enemy is hoping to do that to you that he will scare you and shock you and just alarm you and you'll just kind of freeze or either just want to get away but you won't stop him you won't deal with him and so it didn't do that to jesus jesus was cool no i know what i mean by that calm collected and you also got to remember he just came out of the glory is that right i mean he just had a protracted conversation with moses and elijah he just heard the audible voice of the father right out of the sky this is my beloved son listen to him listen to him he told them and so the boy is convulsing and foaming and and screaming and and jesus looks over at his dad and says how long has this been going on now for one thing is it necessary to ask such a question i don't believe jesus did unnecessary things right he said everything he did he did what he saw the father do what so apparently there is some need for some understanding in these situations you just got to be led by the spirit he said how long has this been going on basically and the father said since he was a child so apparently he's not a child any longer but maybe not a grown adult either i don't know maybe he's in the middle somewhere but this has been going on for years years he said and oftentimes this thing has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him but if you can do anything have compassion on us and help us and jesus said to him actually the if you can believe is king james there's a real emphasis on the phrase if you can and the lord repeated to him his phrase what happened is the man said if you can do something have compassion on us and help us and jesus said if you can all things are possible to him that believes in other words it's not a matter of if you can if we can and see this you can see how relevant this is because the nine disciples already had authority right and when the father said they couldn't do it that's not a true statement that's what he thought that's what it appeared to but so he says so the father is saying basically you know i've already tried your guys and they couldn't do it but if you can do something they couldn't do it but but if you can because see by now he they've already experienced failure right and public failure then the scribes showed up made a circus out of it right out of their failure well you know the father's not enjoying this out there with his boy and all this going on and and so then he says so i mean they couldn't do anything but if you can please have compassion on us and help us and the lord says if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes and those words must have pierced the man because he just kind of cries out in response i believe then he goes help my unbelief we'll talk more about that in a bit and when jesus saw the people came running together he rebuked the foul spirit everybody said out loud he rebuked the foul spirit was this a key part of this miracle is this a big part of this boy's deliverance and healing big part tell me again what he did jesus rebuked he's not on this now he's not talking to the father he's not talking to the son he's not praying to his father what's he talking to a spirit an unclean spirit a foul spirit an evil spirit he um he rebuked the foul spirit he addressed it specifically and personally you dumb and deaf spirit i charge you we'd say i command you come out of him and enter no more into him and i like that last phrase too don't you i mean you didn't you don't see that all the time you don't hear him say that all the time but on this occasion he not only commanded him to leave but told him he could never come back that's right i want you to hear that language i want it to get down in your spirit i want you to say it out loud would it be okay to say bible words yes huh then say it out loud you dumb and deaf spirit i command you come out of him and enter no more into it how's that feel how's that feel huh if it's right for jesus to do it is it okay for us to do it some would say oh no no you shouldn't that just bothers me who do you think come on have you read the other scriptures jesus said if you believe on me the works i do you'll do also and greater works than these shall you do because i go to my father john 14. you can't do the works jesus did except doing them the way he did them how did he do them he walked in authority and this was something that was the one of the first things people noticed about his ministry that it was different from other things they had seen and heard because of the authority they noticed it straight off somebody say authority authority now the scripture tells us we're going to look at that in just a moment but first john 3 8 if you want to turn there that put it on the board for us tells us why jesus came you couple this with john 10 10. it paints a more complete picture we saw john 10 10 said the thief comes not before to steal kill and destroy jesus said but i am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly and in first john this is the same individual that the spirit of god is using to pen this first john 3 8 the latter part of it says for this was the son of god manifested or for this purpose or reason that he might the king james says destroy the works of the devil but that word destroy can be in my mind more accurately translated undue undo listen to the amplified this is first john 3 8 the reason the son of god was made manifest was to undo destroy loosen and dissolve the works the devil has done weymouth says it in a similar way he said the son of god appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the devil don't you like that undoing what the devil did can't you see that with this boy right what did the devil do to this boy he had made him dumb where he couldn't talk he had affected him mentally emotionally physically seizures convulsions he's trying to kill him and fires and bodies of water and what did jesus do he undid amen hallelujah he undid what the devil did right and jesus said that's why excuse me the spirit of god through john says that's why jesus came that's that's why he was manifested that's why he was shown and revealed was to undo the works of the devil undo all the things the devil has done now it's certainly true when it comes to deliverance and healing but it's bigger than that it's as big as all of redemption itself it see it even covers the new earth and the new heaven can you see what i'm saying when the lord gets through with all this it's going to be like the devil never existed like all this stuff never even happened whoo he and all his are going to be removed from human contact and they're going to be separated and contained in the lake of fire forever and god is creating new heavens and new earth wherein is no curse well i mean that's like garden of eden that's like before the fall hallelujah now you and i we're special in this thing we're special to god because we are the redeemed and apparently there will be other beings that come after us but we will always know what it was like in a cursed earth we will know what it was like in a death field pain-filled place we are the redeemed we are the ones that were bought out of this death and curse and chaos hallelujah that we're saved and blood bought and blood washed he's giving everybody on the planet all the billions on the planet generation after generation he's giving all of us the opportunity to choose him to believe him to follow him to be part of his and it is so sad that millions are not they are choosing to to reject him but those who do receive him to them he gives power to become the sons of the living god amen and i'm convinced past this life nobody will ever be able to convince us to rebel against god amen i'm not saying we'll lose our will we won't but we were here we know what death is we know how bad it is we know what jesus had to do to get us out of this and so we're never forsaking him we're never leaving him nobody will be able to get us to turn against him or rebel against him i'm talking about throughout the ages to come into eternity where he is hallelujah and he's ours amen praise god but between now and then we've got some stuff to deal with and the lord exercised this authority everybody say authority authority and he used this authority to undo the works of the devil undo what the devil had done and this is why it's so frustrating to the enemy the anointing of god removes burdens and destroys yokes and it can take the devil decades to get some of these yokes in place and the anointing can shatter them in a moment of time got to be frustrating for the enemy you know decades of work poof gone and they're free as can be after all that work [Laughter] but your and my job is to work with the holy spirit because for the spirit of the lord is there's liberty amen and freedom to work with him in undoing all of the devious destructive stuff that the devil has been able to accomplish in people's lives everybody say i'm i'm on mission i'm available i'm available to use this authority to undo to undo all the works all the words the devil has done to undo it to undo it hallelujah oh thank you lord thank you lord you're there in mark go back or at least you were at one time go back to mark 1 and notice how jesus ministry started like i said there was this thing that stood out about it mark 1 and 21 they went to capernaum and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught mark 1 21 and they were astonished at his doctrine now astonished as a strong word doesn't just mean they were mildly surprised they were we might use the word flabbergasted they they were just like whoa at what four he taught them as one that had authority and not as the scribes there was a marked difference between what they had been hearing from those that had multiple degrees in theology and jesus why because they're talking traditions of the elders they're talking this could be and this one postulates this idea and and we think and we just don't know and it could be and jesus comes in and goes this is how it is [Laughter] this is what's wrong and this is what fixes it i'm hearing the anointings on me and it can happen for you right now today and the people went whoa i mean it blew their hair back and they're like no this is different they looked and they said boy this ain't the scribes now is it not uh belligerent not haughty not proud just sure come on are y'all with me everybody the difference between somebody who's wandering and theorizing and guessing and somebody who knows somebody who knows they didn't know the father he did they're wondering about this and that he knew he was sure and so that's how he taught and that's how he preached why am i talking about this we can't get results wavering and wondering james says the person who wavers is uns unstable a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and we're going to see this as we get into this further this is a big issue that what the man said help me help my unbelief help him with what and this is what he's talking about getting rid of this can you see that getting rid of this vacillation and this wavering and this maybe it will i don't know what if it doesn't i hope it does we just are not sure faith doesn't talk like that faith says god said it this is how it is when we do this this is what happens hallelujah yeah but what if no what ifs know what is this is how it is and you'll find that this shocks religion to this day right they they don't want you to say this is how it is and this is what's wrong and this is what we've got to do to make it right well no because then it's all over but the doing right but as long as you can be ambiguous and wonder and waiver and theorize all over then you don't have to do anything or change anything you can just talk about it for the next 10 years jesus is not just a empty talker he's a doer and you're not just an empty talker somebody say i'm not an empty talker i'm a doer i'm a doer i'm a doer of the word of god doers get results hallelujah doers get results and we're out of time again these times go by pretty quickly don't they as you can see we're not done come back tomorrow and let's find out how to be bold just like jesus and get results just like jesus we'll see you soon here in faith school [Music] thank you for joining us at faith school classes dismissed for today but you can watch this and other episodes of faith school free of charge at
