You Shall Receive Power | Jim Hammond | LW

i just want to open in prayer as we get rolling here i have a little bit different prayer i've been praying psalm 94 over you over me over your personal life my personal life over this church the body of christ the united states of america and various other countries right now australia israel and those in afghanistan that want out as well as our military around the world so that's what this one will be over it's psalm 92 5 it is a war type psalm and please keep in mind i'm not going after people here i don't picture people it's about a spiritual war it's about holding spiritual forces back and it's about using scripture to do that and it's just where the lord has me um it it's you have to understand there's there's there's certain people that'll never get it that's why there's good versus evil okay um uh should we have believed the best in hitler love believes the best right we're gonna and and i'm not saying there's any hitler out there or anything there will be there will be another one all right in the antichrist but what i'm saying is remember now even in the new testament paul cursed alexander the coppersmith if you really study it out he straight out flat out cursed him he also struck the warlock blind that was coming against him all right so he didn't just sit back and and and again this is not at people it's demons that drive people um i told you that they're going to turn the vaccine into a law back in july i told you again in august and if you you still don't believe me let's just watch and i'm not here to say that you should get it or you shouldn't get it that is your decision i'm just saying i'm telling you what's coming as well as i was telling you australia has a 5 000 bed covered facility is what they're calling it and a 10 000 bed covered facility is what they're calling it and if you really think it'll be called that three years from now then you're just i'm telling it's a word of wisdom it's not history repeats itself all right and so this is uh and this is uh this is over this is to hold spiritual forces back over the body of christ as a as a whole body over this church this is over me and this is over you and um so just uh hopefully they can follow along with the scriptures bunch of different translations here you're going to hear me say the same scripture over and over sometimes um but just receive it and it helps if you can read it you don't have to say it just receive it in the name of jesus father over this body living word everyone in this body me everyone individually individual lives the the united states of america the body of christ at around the world our military around the world all those in afghanistan that want to get out the nation of israel and australia is what i have on my heart right now lord how great are they works and my thoughts are very deep how majestic are your deeds we started in psalm 92 5 your deeds are lord how profound are your designs verse 6 the brutish man knoweth not neither doth a fool understand this the stupid person is unable to appreciate it the dullard cannot comprehend the fact so we're praying in the name of jesus father when the wicked spring up as the grass and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish it is that they shall be destroyed forever but thou lord are most high forevermore 92 9 for lo thine enemies oh lord for lo thine enemies shall perish all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered look at your enemies lord god those who are your opponents will be destroyed all the wicked will be dispersed and i love this verse i probably said this verse 50 times this week but my horn our horn your horn which means a lot has a deep weighty meaning shall shalt thou exult like the horn of a unicorn living word we shall be anointed with fresh oil but our horn thou will exult as a wild ox we are anointed with fresh oil if you study that oil out it is actually green in color but you have promoted us that word that horn he will exalt means a promotion so that we are like a powerful buffalo we are anointed with fresh oil the moffat 92 10 thou just raise us high to honor that's what my horn thou shalt exalt also means they'll just revive our failing strength but my horn the emblem of excessive strength and stately grace you have exalted exalted like that of a wild ox we are anointed with fresh oil you receive this in the name of jesus christ but you have made us as strong as a wild bull how refreshed are we by your blessings psalm 92 11 my eye also shall see my desire on our enemies and our ears shall hear our desire of the wicked that rise up against us and our eye had its desire on them that lying wait for us you don't know if people are lying and wait for you you have no idea and our ear on evil doers that rise up against us our eyes have seen the downfall of our enemies our ears have heard the doom of our evil assailants i feast mine eyes on the defeated foes i hear with joy my enemies doom but the righteous that's you the righteousness of god in jesus christ according to the new testament shall flourish like a palm tree he shall grow like a cedar in lebanon those that be planted in the house of the lord shall flourish in the courts of god they shall still bring forth fruit no old age and they shall be fat and flourishing i don't know about fat it doesn't actually mean fat right 92 14 they shall bring fruit forth fruit in old age they shall be full of sap and green this is over you living word 92 15 to show that the lord is upright that he is our rock there is no unrighteousness in him we pray this in the mighty name of jesus christ if you want something in prayer you get scripture and you find it all right and this is to hold spiritual forces back that's simply what it is we still have our freedom okay i just watched uh a hundred thousand people at the ohio state football game today on tv trust me we have a lot more freedom than most other countries around the world right now and so we are number six in the syria in the series you shall receive power and i just thank you lord i thank you that that that we would come to know and understand tonight the immeasurable unlimited and surpassing greatness of your power that's actually in us and actually for us just because we believe it's the same power that you demonstrated by the working of your mighty strength which you worked in christ when you raised him from the dead that same power is in these people tonight in you online tonight grant unto us out of the rich treasury of your glory to be strengthened tonight whether through the speech and the preaching or through the laying on of hands in the anointing of oil with mighty power in the inner man by the holy spirit himself we pray in the name of jesus that you would crown this service and everyone in it with glory and with honor that we would be invigorated and strengthened with all not some all power according to the mighty your glory so when we leave here we can exercise every kind of of of patience and perseverance and forbearance and and do it with joy do it with joy and so the reason we're going to start tonight in hebrews 11 is i feel like these spiritual gifts we're talking about we're on the nine gifts of the spirit uh several of you you each have several of them if you're not ignorant of them if you know about them just the basics if you know about them and you covet them know about them i.e first corinthians 12 1. first corinthians 12 31 you got to want them you got to actually covet them and so nine gifts of the spirit as listed in first corinthians 12 word of wisdom word of knowledge discerning of spirits uh kenneth hagin senior calls the revelation gifts they all reveal something uh the working of miracles the gift of special faith and the gifts of healing are called the power gifts for for the amer the miracles and and the power of god that's demonstrated through them prophecy tongues and interpretation tongues are called the vocal gifts they're all saying something i do not have time to review we are on our fifth gift i did a lot of review last week what i'm trying to do by hebrews 11 is taking you to hebrews 11 what some call the faith hall of fame is we picture the people we're going to be talking about like they're superheroes i did a whole sermon on this i think back in 2011 this won't be the whole sermon it's just an opening it's almost like they're considered another level of human another level of faith you have to remember none of these people had god living in them none of them were the temple of the actual holy spirit himself all right and i'm not disrespecting any of these people i'm just trying to show you how fallible they were and trying to connect with this with the gifts of the holy spirit you can be a very imperfect person very imperfect person they're gifts and if you're just not ignorant of them and you just covet them and i just want to in the faith hall of fame god doesn't bring up one shortcoming of these people doesn't even acknowledge one mistake kenneth hagin said in the end times the power of god to access the power of god would be sped up things that took weeks to happen would take hours or minutes to happen things that took months to pray out would be prayed out in moments and so keep that in mind verse hebrews 11 7 talking about noah by faith noah was being forewarned by god concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign took he diligently reveredly constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family by this faith which he relied on god passed judgment sentence on the world's unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness actually it was a form of new testament righteousness that he had if you study that out but then noah's got right off the the boat um and immediately must have been a stressful boat ride genesis 9 21-25 and he drank of the wine and became drunk and he must have been running around drunk in his tent because he passed out completely naked okay i'm not ripping on noah i'm just saying god doesn't mention anything about this and you know ham walks in there sees him and uh basically because noah did that you had a whole group of people cursed cursed for generation after generation after generation read the story hebrews 11 8 by faith abraham when he was called obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance and he went although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go that'd be hard for any of us to do you have to give him credit but genesis 12 1-4 let's go to through the instructions here and haran the lord said to abram go for yourself for your own advantage away from your country and from your relatives your father's house to the land that i will show you i will make you a great nation i will bless you with abundant increase of favors i make your name famous and distinguished and you will be blessing and dispensing good to others i will bless those who bless you who confer prosperity and happiness upon you and i will curse him who curses or uses incident language towards you and you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed and by you they will be blessed so right after that those instructions don't bring your family away from your kindred just your immediate family abraham departed as the lord directed him and he took his nephew lot with him took his nephew lot with him a lot going with him i think it's interesting how the word made sure to point out that it he took lot all right he was not supposed to take lot lot got himself captured with everything he had which was a lot he had a lot and abraham had to pull 300 servants together and go defeat numerous armies that was a miracle in itself 300 against probably tens of thousands so you see bringing lot it caused him problems because lot was a doofus if you really study out what lot did but notice now when abraham went back to retrieve his nephew from these kings that have just plundered the country he brought all the stuff back it wasn't just his stuff they took kingdoms not just his nephew and his nephew stuff but what was given opportunity to become a multi-multi-millionaire on the spot he turned it down i'm just saying it shows you that under abraham's covenant and it was not under the law was not under old testament law it was a grace covenant very much like ours you saw his mistakes causing him in the end to prosper again and again and again and again uh two times he turned his wife over to different kings because of her beauty told her to lie don't tell him i'm your husband she wound up in these kings harems god strikes both kings with what i believe was a sexual type issue in the end the king sent abraham out with everything he had these kings made him the richest man in the middle east so again you have abraham prospering from his mistakes notice hebrew 11 says nothing about any of this god doesn't even acknowledge this so he's not acknowledging anything about you listen uh hebrew genesis 17 15-17 god said to abraham so as for serie i your wife you shall not call her name serie i but sarah princess her name shall be and i will bless her and give you a son also by her yes i will bless her and she shall be a mother of nations kings of peoples shall come from her then abraham imagine standing in front of god and he's giving you this amazing what i'm going to do for you abraham fell on his face and laughed okay that's not in hebrews 11. what a relationship that must have been he must have had no fear in him of the lord i mean i do not know if i would have the guts to fall on my face and laugh after jesus christ gives me a promise looking me in the eye fell on his face and laughed and said in his heart suddenly child be born to a man who was a hundred years old not exactly his faith thought and shall sarah who is 90 years old bear a son god had already told abraham he was going to have a child he'd already told him this sarah previous named serie i which carries a meaning of dominance in the hebrew means she was bossy more or less ordered abraham to go sleep with hagar the maidservant because they got impatient and they didn't really believe they were going to have a kid between themselves otherwise she wouldn't have she wouldn't ordered him he'd go sleep with another woman abraham doesn't even argue the bible doesn't even say said anything being a good obedient husband he just went and did it it was not out of faith in fact god did not speak to him for 13 years after that it does not record god speaking to him hebrews 11 11 because of faith also sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child to recognize in her even when she was long past the age for it because she considered god listen to these words who had given her the promise to be reliable trustworthy and true to his word let's see your first reaction let's see your first reaction genesis 18 10-16 the lord said i surely will turn to you when the season comes around and behold sarah your wife shall have a son and sarah was listening hurt she was listening at the tent door she wasn't eavesdropping she wasn't adam's dropping she was eavesdropping so they call it eavesdrop and sarah was listening and heard it at the tenth door which was behind him abraham and sarah were old well advanced in years it had ceased to be with sarah and with young as with young women she was past the age of childbearing verse 12. therefore sarah laughed to herself after i have become age shall i have pleasure and delight my lord husband being old also which she's pointing out he wasn't working out too well either all right i mean otherwise she wouldn't have said that it took two miracles here verse 13 the lord asked abraham why did sarah laugh why did sarah laugh and shall i really bear a child when i'm so old she said he said what she said is anything too hard or too wonderful for the lord at the appointed time when the season for her delivery comes around i will return to you and sarah shall have borne a son then sarah said i did not laugh before she was afraid and he said no but you did laugh you did laugh so first she laughed it wasn't in faith and then she lied and said i didn't laugh and so listen so so you know they named their child that isaac means laughter almost probably looking at all that abraham falling on his face and laughing when god told him sarah laughed when when god told her hebrews 11 24 by faith moses when he had grown listen to these words grown to maturity and become great refused to call the son refused to be called the son of pharaoh's daughter well i did i just don't read it like it happened that way okay exodus 2 11-14 one day after moses was grown it happened that he he was grown okay we just run he was grown and mature it happened he went out to his brethren looked at their burdens and saw an egyptian beating a hebrew verse 12 he looked this way and that that means he planned it and when he saw no one he killed the egyptian and buried him in the sand so moses didn't exactly refuse to be the son of pharaoh's daughter he was ran away on murder charges okay because if you study just study it out look at verse 13 look at verse 14 he sees the israelites the rumors gotten around okay and he took off he took off at that point hebrews 11 32. and what shall i say further for time shall fail to tell me of gideon barack sampson david samuel well gideon i don't know if you know this but gideon says after that big war he was the king he was the general he was he was the man he he led them uh they were outmanned outnumbered against the ishmaelites which was abraham's mistake that god blessed god bless the ishmaelites they're some of the richest people in the world god said i will bless them too and they are some of the richest people in the world even now you know judges 8 24-27 getting getting makes a request give me the earrings of all this spoil for the midianites that had gold earrings because they were ishmaelites and so all these warriors of the midianites had gold earrings so gideon says just give me the gold earrings well paraphrasing at verse 26 came out to 1700 shekels of gold besides the crescents pendants purple garments wore by the kings verse 27 gideon made an ephod a sacred high priest garment put it in his city of oprah ophra oprah all all israel paid homage to it there and it became a snare to gideon and his family this this is this is the towards the end of gideon gideon's life and ephod probably was a garment patterned after the outer vest worn by a high priest the golden ephone however was not worn as a garment it was erected and worshiped as an idol gideon amanda divinely appointed to deliver israel from idolatry and oppression unfortunately became an instrument causing israel to become an idolatrous society again because they worshipped it straight out of it and he never took it down you've got gideon being responsible for plunging a nation into idolatry because of the leadership and respect he carried he easily could have kept them from worshiping that thing again hebrews 11 mentioning absolutely nothing about this and it's you know mentioning samson couldn't leave delilah alone right everyone knows under the law which was the covenant david was under for adultery and murdering bathsheba's husband he should have been stoned twice you know and we do give these guys credit i want to i want to read hebrews 11 33 through 40. my point is all these people were normal people they were fallible people some of them made incredible mistakes some of them made mistake after mistake after mistake but like abraham because of his relationship with god is blessed every time he was blessed every time you cannot find abraham or god ever correcting abraham one time but listen listen to what these guys went through a lot of this isn't even in the bible okay besides here hebrews 11 33 through 40. these guys and they were more mentioned who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms administered justice abstained promised blessings closed the mouths of lions extinguished the power of raging fire escaped the devourings of a sword out of frailty and weakness one strength and became stalwart even mighty and resistless in battle routing alien hosts some women received again they're dead by resurrection others were tortured to death with clubs refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their fate they were beaten with clubs unless they denied their faith so they might be resurrected to a better life others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and chains and imprisonment verse 37 they were stoned to death they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith they were sawn they were sought in half i i don't i don't know where that is in the bible i don't know if that's in some of them were sawed in half they were slaughtered by the sword while they were still alive they had to go about wrapped in skins of sheep goats utterly destitute oppressed cruelly treated men of whom the world was not worthy roaming over desolate places in the mountains and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth and all of these though they won divine approval by means of their faith did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised because god had you in mind you in mind and had something better and greater in view for you for you so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them now let's look at hebrews 12 verse 2 because you know there were no chapters and verses he just keeps writing looking away from all that will distract to jesus who is the leader and the source of our faith it's got to be about jesus these gifts are all about jesus christ you can't forget the fact that it's about jesus christ and the source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief it should be the first incentive and as also it's it's finisher bring it to maturity and perfection he for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before him endured the cross can we put the can we put the sculpture up despising and ignoring shame you don't have to remember why he's up there suffering he was he was he was being shamed right he was he had nothing on i mean i just can't imagine that you know just just marred on top of that you got worse than social media because they're there right they're standing there and um ignoring the shame and now seated at the right hand of the throne just think of him who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against himself reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials so that you may not grow weary in this time this evil time or exhausted losing heart see so many people losing heart met with people this week losing heart and relaxing and fainting in their minds you have not yet struggled and fought agonizing you have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin nor have you yet resisted and withstood anything to the point of pouring out your own blood so it's got the focus has to be on jesus christ as we go into these um it's our sixth spiritual gift first corinthians 12 9 to another wonder working faith we talked about that last week by the same holy spirit to another the extraordinary ordinary powers let me read that out of the king james to another the gifts of healing is that new king james supposed to be gifts of healings it's officially healings i don't care what that translation says trust me both words are plural okay up until now we've done three gifts of what brother hagin called the revelation gifts word of wisdom word of knowledge discerning spirits there are three power gifts where the power of god is obviously exercise two of those we've already done now we're on the gifts of healings healings i think it shows god's strong desire for our total healing because this gift is one of two manifestations of the nine where it's listed in plural plural form gifts plural and healings plural the other gift listed in plural form is diverse kinds of tongues there's incredible variation in the gifts of healings and operations dr james tan says in his book releasing the miraculous which we sell in the bookstore the plurality of these gifts of healings comes from the fact that by his stripes in isaiah 53 5 by his stripes plural we are healed all right so the lord looks at us in three parts spirit soul and body and the fact that he wants us completely whole therefore he provides healing for the spirit for the soul and for the body complete healing for the total man that is part of the reason you have multiple diversities of these gifts of healings healings the gifts of healings in a supernatural way alleviate or restore a body that has been hurt or diseased healing from god is always is not always immediate many many many miracles are but we'll see even in a couple of examples you know these are numerous way there are numerous ways outside these gifts to be healed numerous ways really look at it god offers us healing in so many ways where we don't have to be waiting for the gifts of healings to manifest you can receive healing for yourself nor should we ever be stuck waiting for a ministry that operates in the gifts to come through town here's one example right here simple prayer james 5 13 is any among you afflicted either either the new king james the old king james says suffering either way afflicted or suffering let them pray let them pray do you realize you can just pray and ask your suffering to be alleviated you can go directly to the father and get your healing is sickness or pain not affliction or suffering again is anyone among you suffering let him pray although asking is worthless unless you in some way expect an answer think about this we think we have to have this unbelievable belief right i don't believe enough i don't believe enough if you're going to ask god then you obviously believe it's available correct and obviously believe god is willing to give it if you're gonna ask and i thought we only needed just a little mustard seed of faith also you have laying on a hands which is not just a tradition it's a command it's a command and it should just be going on you know it should be just automatic in the lobby um it gives any believer the ability to be used as a vessel for the healing power of god even without the gifts of healings in operation you all have a measure of faith to do this it was important enough that jesus gave these instructions in mark 16 17 and 18 it's part of the last words these are the last words he said before he went to heaven mark 16 17 17-18 and these signs shall shall follow them in thy name they shall cast out devils they shall speak with new tongues verse 18 and they shall take up serpents and if they drink any a deadly thing it shall not hurt them any deadly thing it shall not hurt them they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover it's a command that's not a command it's not a suggestion shall and then he departs you know just a side note you'll just see that hebrews 6 2 says laying on of hands is a basic ordinance of the church which is basic the third way that healing is also received by the besides the gifts of the spirit is the just a spoken word just someone it's a word of faith the bible says we already have it i've seen people just take it it's just a simple command of faith taking authority over your body over the symptoms and over the pain and commanding the symptoms and the pain to depart in the name of jesus just a straight up command command of faith we're talking about it as it's it's a command number four outside of the gifts of healing uh let's go to acts 19 11 and 12 for this god right and the gifts of healing can be involved in this but it doesn't have to be okay god wrought special miracles by the hands of paul so that from his body we're brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons and the diseases departed from them and evil spirits even people were delivered out of them all right james 5 14 here's another way is any sick among you we're going to do this at the end here let him call the elders altar ministers of the church let them pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the lord and the oil is not magic okay prayer cloths are just a different variation of laying on a hands where hands cannot be laid you can lay hands on a cloth and give it to someone even if it's across the world it's been documented healings james tan does this stuff all the time i've seen with stacks of prayer cloths anointing oil according brother hagin is a point of contact it's it's just a point of contact it's really just a faith helper it's not the oil itself the fifth way is communion the bread represents healing i can prove that all day long through scripture but i don't have time to go through how you're healed with communion i've done three different sermons on it in the last 15 years but i've noticed with communion you just take it you just take it you focus on jesus you focus on his broken body you focus on the body of christ you focus on him and over time you will become healed all right you don't need the special bread the matzo bread you can have chicken in a biscuit mountain dew okay you can take it every day instructed me 10 weeks ago to start taking it four times a day and actually to start doing psalm 91 seven times a day and told me to and so that is the number one thing i try to do when i get up but i'm just saying listen i have time to do that okay so so don't be put under condemnation if you're working 12 hours a day i'm a pastor right i should be doing that right and so but i'm looking for that day when people take communion one time and just get it get it because as i've said many times brother hagin in the last days things are going to be sped up as far as getting results in regards to the power of god i don't ever discount the little cup of wine or grape juice i don't discount it it represents the blood that he's shed healing is in it we don't think of it like this but it represents redemption i.e the forgiveness of sins well what are you redeemed from the curse of the law you could have your sickness because you're walking under the old testament curse of the law i.e read the book of galatians you could be a new a christian going to heaven living a miserable life right because you're all wrapped up in your own self-effort thinking you're going to get stuff from obeying all the rules and regulations all right and what happens is you put yourself under the curse well the cup breaks the curse because it's redemption i either forgiveness is sense you're redeemed from the curse and so i'm just saying communion taking the cup basically acknowledging the redemption that you get because your sins have been totally forgiven is a way for the communion is a way for healing remember jesus told that guy your sins are forgiven and he got healed picked up his his bed and ran off he said is your sins are forgiven well that's half of a communion some people that's all they need to know and boom heals and so that jesus in the four gospels is the most consistent example we have in scripture of the gifts of healings in operation luke 7 12-14 as he entered into a certain village there met him ten men that were lepers which stood afar off they lifted up their voices and said jesus master have mercy on us and when they sought when he saw them he said unto them go show yourselves unto the priest and it came to pass as they went so not when he said it and he didn't touch him he gave him an instruction and as they went they were cleansed of leprosy you guys ever hear kenneth hagin's senior preacher if you don't think you have faith enough to believe for your healing or anything you're asking for to focus on the fact that he's a merciful god he's focus on that these guys they ask for mercy they didn't say heal us they ask for mercy his mercy endures forever thank you lord your mercy endures forever thank you lord your mercy endures forever what does it endure all the things you do that you shouldn't do it endures forever it endures it so this is the ten lepers they stood a long ways off and cried for mercy they did not cry out for physical healing but mercy is just as good because mercy of god is the reason we get physical healing god's heart is only mercy towards you i i.e hebrews 12 hebrews 8 12 your sins and iniquities i'm going to have mercy on your lawless deeds of unrighteousness i don't remember anymore i would focus on that i would focus on that you hear that do you hear that it's what he tells you you think he's lying it's not confusion it's not confusion he really means that that's the last verse in the new covenant jesus tells them go show themselves to the temple priests who were the ones with determining what was clean or unclean you don't have jesus laying hands on anyone he had them walk out their healing it says as they went they were cleansed i'm going to give you a little paragraph out of james tan's book releasing the miraculous page 118. i'm gonna it's just directly out of the book he says the gifts of healings always come with an instruction or action it might be as simple as laying hands on someone speaking a command of faith or even laying hands on a cloth to be sent to the afflicted healing must be acted upon it must be appropriated it must be received in faith in their going the lepers were cleansed of the disease there is a going in order to receive sometimes the going has done having done all to stand going is our cooperation and response this was the gift of healings and operation just a qu quick side note one leper came back of those 10 and thanked him and you know leprosy body parts fell off and you know he was the only one that was not only cleansed from leprosy but he was made whole like his body parts came back which i believe is the gift of special faith in action lepers you know they would lose those parts he was the the one that thanked him the one that was thankful even got more mark 140 through 42 there came a leopard and beseeching him kneeling down to him saying unto him if thou wilt thou can make me clean and jesus moved with compassion put forth his hand touched him and he said i will be thou clean as soon as he had spoken immediately leprosy departed from him and he was cleansed so as we start to close here acts 10 38 how god anointed jesus of nazareth with the holy ghost and with power he went about doing good healing uh healing all that were oppressed of the devil so demons are involved in the healing anointing i feel as if in regards to healing you can follow into a ditch ignoring demonic activity although i'm all for going to the doctor i would never tell anyone not to go to the doctor not to take their medication i would never tell that but i do believe it's a mistake only to give medical and emotional issues a name tag and only try to medicate them you can't medicate demons as we just read in acts 10 38 luke who was a doctor wrote the book of acts describes healing all who were oppressed by the devil and calls it a healing so this is connected here look at matthew 12 22. then was brought unto him one possessed with the devil blind and dumb and he healed him and as much that the blind and dumb men both spake and saw so it's obvious that demons were responsible for this man being blind and mute you don't see every blind and mute person in the bible recorded this way but we do with this guy and the man's deliverance came about as a result of his healing or his healing came by came through as a result of his deliverance either way he got both at the same time the healing and deliverance were not separate they happened at the same time matthew 9 32 and 33 as they went out behold they brought to him a dumb man possessed with the devil and when the devil was cast out the dome spake the multitudes marveled saying it was never seen in israel again here was a mute demon possessed who received healing and deliverance together james tan says the plurality of the gifts of healing includes deliverance from demons it's like pride it's not going to drink the water you're staying up here like that you know dad does you guys ever heard dad do that just determined not to do that dad just doesn't care so i think we just read yeah we the plurality of the gifts of healings includes deliverance from demons deliverance is just a different administration of the diversity of gifts of healing you know um there was uh i'm gonna out of this book there's a story james is in an auditorium about this size on the lower level um i believe it was malaysia indonesia high stage so you could see all the way there's so many people uh up front that he was going to do a mass prayer there's too many people to lay hands on and there's commotion in the back once people started getting healed and he looked and and he saw a guy was swinging a chair swinging a chair around people had uh you know made space for him it was a folding chair and the guy looked him in the eye and started yelling at him from the back and and it was just he he just he they didn't even hear him say he just looked at when the guy when he looked at the guy just said peace peace mouthed it he said he mounted peace twice the guy just went gone he was out for two hours the the report the next day with the team was um he was out of a certain village and when he had been born they had dedicated him as a baby uh to an idol to a certain god that that village worshipped and within uh months his one of his feet grew completely in right and just that waving his hand and saying peace everything was he was released he was delivered the foot was good just peace was was all it took in order to flow in any spiritual manifestation in the gifts of the spirit besides wanting them you have to want them and you have to be aware of them you just have to do what the word says to do you don't need the gifts of healings to lay hands on the sick but as you obey the spirit from where you it'll lead you into other things you know there was some people who are trained to yield in the gifts sometimes have more success in ministering healing of one type of sickness you know i knew a guy named christopher olami he was an event evangelist mostly out of the country everybody that had hearing issues was always healed there were other healings but 80 of all his healings were we're hearing we're deaf people you know you got ministers of great success with bad backs other ministers with with tumors disappearing so this is this is the diversities that it talks about in that chapter god's willingness and ability to heal includes your souls what is your soul your will your emotion your intellect your memory your imagination the healing of our souls look jesus said in luke 4 18 he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted heal that that means just so my soul needs healing the cross at galgotha made it possible for the spirit of man to be recreated the soul of man to be renewed and the body of man to be healed let's put the sculpture back up the cross provides healing for the total man i believe that that hurts to the soul as real as hurts to the body okay and i'll just leave you here with these two three scriptures as we close psalm 34 18 the lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit psalm 147 3 he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds curing their pains and their sorrows sorrow as a wound is listed as a wound proverbs 17 22 a merry heart do with good like medicine but a broken spirit dry at the bone so as you can see a person's mental and emotional health what we just read out of proverbs can dictate their well their physical well-being a broken spirit dries up the bones so what we're going to do is i'm going to ask the altar ministers to come on up if they would
