Healing Belongs To You

0:00:00.920 --> 0:00:02.480 Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.560 Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:07.040 for supporting the ministry. 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:08.160 We believe you're. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:11.400 Going to have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:15.320 and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoy the message. 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:17.639 God bless you. It's great to be with. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.319 You today, and I hope you'll stay connected with us 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.040 during the week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.440 social media, and you can come visit us in person. 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.320 We'd love to have you be a part of one 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.640 of our services. I'd like to start with. 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.840 Something funny, and I heard about this pastor and song 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.960 leader that weren't getting along, and it started to spill 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.680 over into the services. One Sunday, the pastor preached on 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.200 the importance of being a giver. Afterwards, the song leader 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.560 got up and led the song Jesus paid it all. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.000 The next week, the pastor talked about not gossiping, watching 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.800 your tongue. The song leader got up and led, I 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.680 love to tell the story. The pastor was so frustrated 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.360 he finally resigned. Told the congregation Jesus brought me here 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.880 and Jesus has taken me away. The songleader then lad, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:07.880 what a friend we have in Jesus. 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.240 Say it like you mean it. 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.680 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.480 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.520 what it says. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:17.800 I can do. 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.000 Today I will be taught to word of God. I 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:25.320 boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.480 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:33.280 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.200 healing belongs to you. All of us have times where 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.200 we're dealing with an illness, or we have family of 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.400 friends that have a physical ailment from. 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:48.160 Diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, cancer. There's a lot 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.600 of sickness in our world. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.720 One name that God gave himself in the scripture is 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.280 Jehovah Rapha, the Lord, our healer. God knew we would 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.200 face battles in our health. He knew there would be 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:05.200 times where medically speaking, there was nothing that could be done. 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.080 That's why he said, don't worry. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:11.160 I'm your healer. I'm going to do what medicine cannot do. 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:15.080 I'm going to restore health back into you. God is 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.000 not limited by the natural. He's supernatural. He made your body. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.799 He knows how to correct what's wrong. Don't believe those 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.320 lies that it's never going to change. Man, the treatment's 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.560 not working, or that heart disease has been in your 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.000 family for generations. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.640 Just learn to live with it. Now. This is a 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.600 new day. The Lord your Healer is at work. 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:44.720 Restoration is coming, freedom from chronic pain, diabetes, leaving. Illnesses 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.000 that look permanent are going to suddenly begin to turn around. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.000 There's no explanation. It doesn't make sense. What happened. Jehovah 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.960 Rappa stepped in. The Lord your healer. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:01.480 Isaiah said, Jesus carried our sicknesses and took our infirmities, 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:06.360 and by his stripes you were healed. Jesus took thirty 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.760 nine stripes on his back before he was crucified. Studies 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.400 tell us there are thirty nine major categories of disease. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.200 It's not a coincidence. Jesus took one stripe for each category. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.919 He didn't leave anything out. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.440 Well, Joel, if God wants me to endure this sickness, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.840 then I will. You don't have to endure it. Jesus 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:32.480 already endured it. He already paid the price. Healing belongs 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.320 to you. Healing is a part of your heritage. You 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.680 need to see that sickness as temporary. It didn't come 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.520 to stay, it came to pass. It's on foreign territory. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.080 It has no right to be there. You are a 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.840 temple of the Most High God. I hear people say 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:55.360 by arthritis is acting up my cancer, my diabetes, my 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:56.560 thyroid problem. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.520 No, it doesn't belong to you. Don't take ownership of it. 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.960 As long as you're accepting it, you're giving it the 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.640 right to stay. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.160 And the scripture says to resist the enemy. You need 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.200 to resist the sickness, resist the cancer. 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.560 You can't be passive. Your attitude should be cancer, you 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:21.120 are not welcome here. Leukemia you cannot stay, Kidney disease, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.640 this is not your home. I am God's property. I 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:26.040 belong to the Most. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.040 High, and I don't. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.599 Mean to live upset. You're always in a fight mode, 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.120 but there needs to be a passion, a resilience where 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.960 you are not going to settle for sickness and disease. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.880 David said in Some one O three, bless the Lord 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.440 O my soul, and forget not all of his benefits, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.160 who forgives all of. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.760 Our sins, and who heals all of our diseases. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.800 One of the benefits of serving God is he heals 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.680 your diseases. Many of us know God as a savior, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.760 that's the most important, But do you know him as 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.520 a healer. My sister Lisa was born with a birth 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.880 injury similar to cerebral paulsy. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.280 The doctors told my parents. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.560 She'd never be able to walk or feed herself, and 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.440 of course they were devastated. My father was pastoring a 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.799 church and he was taught back then that God doesn't 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:23.479 heal today, that he uses sickness to teach us a 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:26.719 lesson and you just have to suffer through it. But 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.040 when he saw his little girl with that affliction, something 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.960 rose up in him like a fire. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.080 He went away for a few days to get along 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:35.719 with God. 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.680 He told how he took off his denominational glasses and 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.479 he began to read the scripture like he was reading 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.960 it for the first time. He saw how Jesus went 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.360 around healing sick people and curing the lepers, causing the 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:52.640 lame to walk. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.400 Freeing them from infirmities. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:06:00.520 He read in Hebrews thirteen, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.240 and forever. What he did in the Bible days, he'll 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.880 do today. There never was a day of miracles. There's 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.880 a God of miracles. He came back with my mother. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.119 They prayed the prayer of faith over their little baby girl. 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.480 Not God, if it be your will, you can heal her, 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.720 They prayed, God, we. 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:22.920 Know what your will is. 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.719 We know healing belongs to us. We know the price 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.120 has been paid for our sicknesses. So Lord, we're asking 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.760 you to heal our daughter. And the scripture says, when 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:38.320 you believe, all things are possible. When you believe, angels 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.520 go to work. When you believe God dispatches healing. When 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.600 you believe chains are broken, miracles are set into motion. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.720 Lisa had no muscle tone, she couldn't nurse, couldn't move 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:52.440 her limbs. 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.360 She just laid there motionless. 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.680 But at nine months old, against all odds, she lifted 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.359 her head off the matter for the first time. Was 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.239 a small miracle, didn't seem like much, but my parents 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.120 celebrated what God was doing. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:10.720 They knew Jehovah Rafa was at work. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.640 She began to move her legs and eventually she could crawl, 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.600 And the whole time they just kept thanking God that 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:21.040 she was healed, believing that she would be totally normal. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.200 Little by little she got better and better, and today you. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.720 Know, Lisa's perfectly healthy. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:31.440 It's a beautiful family, a great Bible teacher. This would 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.480 have never happened if my parents had not realized. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.200 Healing belongs to us. Are there areas in your health 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.640 that you've accepted? 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.440 You're always gonna have these migraines and always have this 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:49.600 chronic pain, diabetes authritis is my lot in life? No, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.360 your lot in life is to be healthy and home. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.560 Now you need to pray the prayer of faith, not the. 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:57.160 Prayer of doubt. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.200 I don't see how I can get well, Joel, have 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.960 you seen the medical report, not the prayer of discouragement. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.040 I've had this so long. Everyone in my family deals 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.840 with this sickness. No, pray like you know healing belongs 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.920 to you. Pray like you know that God has paid 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.080 the price for your sickness. Pray like you know. God 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.440 is a good father and it's his good pleasure. 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:22.480 To give you the kingdom. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.680 You don't have to beg God, please heal me. No, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.000 the prayer of faith is Lord, I receive my healing. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:34.280 I know you're Jehovah. Rapha You're bigger than this sickness. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:39.040 I thank you that healing, wholeness, vitality is flowing through 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.199 me right now. Then all through the day you may 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.080 not feel any different. You don't see any sign of it. 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.240 This is what faith is all about. Lord, Thank you 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.040 that I am healed. Thank you that I'm getting better 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:51.640 and better. 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.200 You don't have to keep asking God to heal you 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:56.319 over and over. 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:00.320 Believe that you received it when you prayed, and just 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:05.439 keep thanking Him that you're healed. Luke Chapter thirteen, Jesus 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.400 saw a woman that had been sick for eighteen years. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.320 She was bent over and not able to stand up. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.720 He said in verse sixteen, should not this woman, being 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:20.439 a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, be loosed 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.800 from this sickness? Notice where the sickness came from, whom 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.120 the enemy has bound. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.959 You have to be very clear. The sickness is not 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.240 from God. It's the work of the enemy. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.560 The good news is God came to take off of 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.560 you what the enemy put on you. He came to 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:42.960 free you from what's bound you. The scripture says nothing 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.520 can snatch you out of God's hand, No sickness, no. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.839 Addiction, no depression. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.079 The forces that are for you are greater than any 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:53.520 force that's coming against you. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.840 But you can't believe, like my father was taught, that. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.520 God's putting that sickness on you to teach you something. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:02.520 You just need to suffer through it. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.000 A lady told me how she was glad that God 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.679 gave her cancer so her daughter. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.400 Wouldn't have to have it. Now understand what she meant. 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.960 We'd take anything to not have our children deal with it. 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:19.199 But her premise was wrong. God wasn't the one giving 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.840 her the cancer. The truth is God doesn't have any 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:27.120 cancer to give. There's no cancer up in heaven. God 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.720 is not on the throne saying let me zap ince 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.000 the one with cancer, and zap her with migrains and 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:35.800 zap him with kidney disease. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.160 That's the wrong concept of God. He's the Lord, your healer, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.360 not the Lord who makes you sick. He came to 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:47.560 destroy the works of the enemy. This woman had been 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.079 sick for eighteen years. 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:54.719 You can imagine how she'd tried different treatments, different medicines. 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.360 Different doctors, but nothing at work. 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:01.360 Now she'd accepted that she'd always be Then over Jesus 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.920 showed up and said, woman, you are healed from your sickness. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.840 He touched her and immediately she stood up straight. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.120 There are only so many miracles recorded in the scripture. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.800 Jesus did many more than we read about. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.320 I believe one reason this was chosen was because the 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.880 lady had been sick for eighteen years. 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.120 God was showing us no matter how long you've been 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.000 dealing with an illness. 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.079 No matter how many times you tried to get well 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.280 taking the treatment, nothing has improved. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:35.920 Your time is coming. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.520 The Lord, your healer, has not forgotten about you. He 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:45.000 has seen the pain, the heartache, the lonely nights. That 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.200 is not how your story ends. God is going to 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.040 make things happen that the medicine couldn't make happen. He's 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.960 going to do what the treatment couldn't do. The experts 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.440 may have run out of options, they've come to the 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:01.719 end of their ability, but God has not run out 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:06.120 of options. It's not gonna be natural, it's gonna be supernatural. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.160 It's gonna defy the odds. Now, stay in this attitude 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:10.600 of faith. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:15.000 Healing belongs to me. It's flowing through my body right now. 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:20.040 I'm getting healthier, stronger, more energetic with long life. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.320 God will satisfy me. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.000 When you know something belongs to you, it's a different mindset. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:30.040 You expect it, you believe it will happen. You talk 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.760 like it's on the way. You take steps to see 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:33.720 it come to pass. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:37.559 When our children were growing up, they'd come home from school. 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:38.480 First thing they. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.240 Would do is go to the refrigerator to get something 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.880 to eat. They never asked me, Dad, would it be 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.480 okay if I got some juice? He said, all right, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.319 for me to make a sandwich. They didn't think twice. 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.200 They acted like they owned the place they knew as 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:59.000 my child that belonged to them. God is saying to you, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.760 you and my child calld healing belongs to you. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:06.520 Come on to the refrigerator. Believe for your healing, Believe 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:07.400 for wholeness. 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.040 Expect things to change in your favor because of who 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.920 your father is. Jesus called this woman a daughter of Abraham. 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.920 That was significant. She wasn't just any random person. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.120 She was a part of the covenant that God made 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.000 with Abraham. 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.960 That meant she had. 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:32.040 Rights and privileges because of her family line. If Jesus 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.880 were here today, he would say this about you should 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:40.679 not Susan being my daughter, should not Jose, should not 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:46.080 Bill being my sons, be loose from this infirmity. Because 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.360 you're his child. God is going to make things happen 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:53.240 for you that may not happen for others, like this 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:57.320 woman may have been a long time. Get ready, God's 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.920 about to Lucia from the sickness and from the cancer, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.920 Lucia from the depression. 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.200 Things are about to turn in your favor. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:11.240 Healing is coming, freedom is coming, Victory is coming. I 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.520 met a man that traveled to Houston several times. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:15.520 A year for treatment. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.160 He has this incurable disease and the only way he 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.240 could stay alive was to take the treatment. He'd been 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.640 doing it for six years, and I'd see him in 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.600 the lobby after the service. Never complained, always had a 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:32.680 good attitude, but he believed that sickness was meant to 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:35.440 be for his life and he was supposed to just 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.240 endure it and live with it the best that he could. 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.960 He'd never been taught that God was a healer, that 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.240 he can restore health back into us, and how we need. 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.800 To believe for our healing. He heard me talking about this, 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:50.640 and he changed his approach. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.400 Every day he started declaring, Father, thank you that I'm healed, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:59.280 thank you that I will live and not die. Every 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:03.000 time he said that, thoughts whispered. You're wasting your time. 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.840 You heard the experts. You can't get well. You know 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:11.320 this is an incurable disease. The real battle takes place 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.560 in our mind. The enemy will try to convince you 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.200 it's been too long, the sickness is too bad. Just 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.480 settle where you are, tune all that out, and get 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:22.640 in agreement with God. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.840 Father. I know healing belongs to me. I'm not moved 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.120 by what I see. I'm moved by what I know. 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.320 You're Jehovah Rafa, the Lord, my healer. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:37.440 Two years later, he came back for his routine treatment 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.680 like he had been doing for eight years. His main 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.800 doctor called him in. It's one of the leading cancer 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.920 specialists in the world, he said, in all my years 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.560 of practice, I have never seen this. But this disease 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.520 that's known to be incurable is slowly fading away, and 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.520 you don't need to take this treatment anymore. When God 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:02.960 says I'm going to lose you from that sickness, he 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.560 doesn't check to see if it's incurable. If it's too big. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.200 If you've had it too long, not possible. 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.240 He controls the universe. 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.480 One touch of his favor and you're free, You're healthy, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.240 your whole one Peter three. 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:23.280 The message translation says, God has the last word on 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:26.200 everything and everyone. 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.960 You may be facing an illness, it's been that way 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.280 a long time. The medical report says, you're not going 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.160 to improve. That's one word. But God has the last word. 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:40.120 He said he's restoring health back in the youth. He said, 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:44.120 the number of your days he will fulfill. When thoughts 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.600 tell you that you're never going to get well, just 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:47.480 say no thanks. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.400 I know a secret. God has the final word. 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.440 Sickness may have a word, depression may have a word addictions, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.720 but always remember it's not the last word. The final 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.600 word comes from the God who created the universe, the 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.800 God who flung stars into space, the God who parts 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.080 red seas, the God who shuts the mouths of lions, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.440 the God who breathed life into you, the God who 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.560 knew you before you were formed in your mother's wounds. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.400 The final word goes to Jehovah Raphah, the Lord's your healer. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.400 When you're facing an illness or any kind of challenge, 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:30.040 It's important to make the promise bigger than the problem. 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.360 Once you dwell on, you're going to magnify. If all 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.200 you think about is the sickness and the negative medical report, 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:41.840 you go call three friends and talk to them about it, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:45.440 and you google it and look up all your symptoms. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.600 You'll find forty seven reasons why you're not gonna. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:50.120 Make it to Friday. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.560 That'll depress you quicker than listening to a country western song. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.680 Don't let the enemy plant all that doubt and discouragement 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:04.080 in your mind. When you read something negative about your health, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.959 all of a sudden, your back starts to hurt. Just 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.840 like it said, you feel a little bit weaker. There's 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.240 something called the power of suggestion. It's just a little thought, 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.400 but if you dwell on it, it gets bigger and bigger. 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.080 It can become a reality. 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:23.919 These coworkers decided to play a trick on their friend, 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.760 and he came to work one morning feeling great, happy 0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:31.040 as can be. The receptionist said to him, are you 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:32.280 feeling okay today? 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.600 He said, yeah, I feel great. Why? She said, I 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:38.359 don't know. You just look a little pale, just to 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:39.240 see the doubt. 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.640 When to his office, ten minutes later, a coworker came in. 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.919 Are you extra tired today? You don't look up to 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.480 par He said, no, no, I feel fine. A few 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:51.639 minutes he started thinking, maybe I am a little tired. 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.879 Another man came by. You don't have a fever, do 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.399 you seems like you're perspiring. The guy started to loosen 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:00.720 his time and said, yeah, I am kind of hot 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.199 and sat down into this. I'm kind of feeling dizzy. 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.879 Another man stopped by, You look terrible today. What's wrong 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:07.320 with you? 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.120 By ten o'clock in the morning, he'd gone home sick. 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.960 There's power in what you're feeding yourselves. You have to 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.280 be careful what you're taking in. Don't dwell on the 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:22.600 medical report. Don't go research it and find all the 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:27.600 people that have not made it, all the possible negative outcomes. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.240 You don't need that in your spirit. That's gonna talk 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:34.960 you into being weak sick. It's never gonna change. I'm 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.959 so tired. Quit feeding on junk food and start feeding 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:39.840 on faith food. 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.000 Make the promise. 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.439 Bigger, not the problem. All through the day, I'm getting better. 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.040 Healing is flowing through me. I'm strong, I'm energetic. 0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:54.800 I will run and not be weary. That's gonna cause you. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.880 To get stronger and help you to believe for healing 0:19:57.920 --> 0:19:58.920 and expect the. 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:00.959 Goodness and of God. 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.439 See, you only have so much room in your mind 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.560 each day. If you're always dwelling on the negative. What's wrong? 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.760 How it's not going to work out? That's taking up 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.959 all the space in your thinking. It's occupying all the 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.000 real estate. You don't have any room for faith and 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:22.479 hope to believe that God's working. Be selective in what 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.159 you allow in. Jesus told the man that he was 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.800 going to go to his house and pray for his 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.000 little girl that was very, very sick. 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.040 But Jesus got delayed. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.960 Eventually, the man sent his assistance and said to the disciples, 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.720 tell Jesus he doesn't need to come anymore. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:44.800 It's too late. My little girl has died. The scripture 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:46.320 says Jesus. 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:51.960 Overhearing but ignoring. He heard the negative report. He heard 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.840 the little girl had died, but he didn't dwell on it. 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.960 He didn't say, oh, man, I waited too long. I 0:20:58.080 --> 0:20:58.960 missed it this time. 0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:02.600 He didn't pay any attention. He wasn't going to. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.800 Let that doubt and negativity get in his spirit. When 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.360 you're believing for your healing and believing for the promises. 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:15.240 You have to get good at hearing but ignoring because 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:19.160 there's going to be plenty of negative reports, plenty of naysayers. 0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.480 You have that kind of cancer, man, that's what my 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:23.399 cousin died of. 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:24.000 Good luck. 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.920 Let that go in one ear and out the other. 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.119 They don't determine your destiny. 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:30.240 Ignore it. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:33.919 Sometimes it's our own thoughts that tell us you're not 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.000 going to get well, you'll never meet the right person, 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:41.479 you'll never break this addiction. You can't stop that from coming. 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.439 But you don't have to dwell on it. Let it 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.040 be a reminder to thank God that he's working. 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.080 You have to protect your. 0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:54.320 Mind, be selective what you dwell on, and be selective 0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.120 who you spend time with. 0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:59.520 When you're fighting a battle. You don't need to be 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:04.000 around negative, defeated, can't do it. Never going to happen. 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.600 People, Get away from the doubters that's going to talk 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:08.360 you out of it. 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:10.479 There are two types of people. 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.280 There are dream stealers, people that will tell you all 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.040 the reasons it's not going to work out, and there 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.720 are dream releasers, people that will encourage you and believe 0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:24.960 with you and build your faith up and not tear 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.199 it down. And that's why so many people listen to 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:31.119 our services, because I'm going to tell you that you 0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:34.520 can get well, that healing belongs to you, that the 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.560 sickness is not the end, that God has the final 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.560 saying that when you believe, all things are possible. That's 0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:46.440 how you make the promise bigger than the problem. Surround 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.120 yourself with the right people and be selective what you're 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:55.160 dwelling on. If you're discouraged, doubting, thinking is never going 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.960 to happen, I can tell you you're magnifying the problem. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:02.119 As long as you're focused on that, you're going to 0:23:02.160 --> 0:23:05.640 be down. You'll be amazed at what will happen if 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:09.639 you'll start magnifying the promise, start dwelling on the fact 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.560 that God is your healer, He's fighting your battles, that 0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:16.720 no weapon formed against you will prosper. That what He 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:20.840 started in your life, he will finish. When my mother 0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:24.560 was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer back in nineteen eighty 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:28.240 one and given a few weeks to live, she told 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:32.280 how in the middle of the night, thoughts would come saying, 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:35.239 you can be buried in that new red dress that 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:36.120 you bought. 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.160 The enemy loves to whisper things to. 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.640 Try to get your imagining the worst, seeing your self 0:23:42.720 --> 0:23:44.320 defeated and going down. 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:46.560 My mother had a choice. 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.520 She could have dwelt on those thoughts and let them 0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.200 create a negative image. 0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.480 But she did what we all have to do. 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:59.920 The scripture says, cast down wrong imaginations. You decide what's 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.040 playing on the movie screen of your mind. 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.640 You can't let those negative images play. 0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:09.080 My mother put up pictures all over the house from 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:12.800 a time when she was healthy, her wedding pictures, out 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:16.880 riding a horse, traveling with my father, working in the garden. 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:22.120 Instead of letting that negative image take root being buried 0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:28.520 in the red dress, she saw herself healthy, energetic, traveling, laughing, 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:32.480 enjoying her family. By the grace of God, forty three 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:37.400 years later, she's still healthy and hope. There's no medical explanation. 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.439 The expert said she couldn't get well. Her main doctor 0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:46.680 he's passed. But my mother's ninety years young, still going strong. 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:52.400 God has the final say. He can do what medicine 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.000 cannot do. I received a phone call from a woman 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:59.880 on my Serious XM program, one of her family members 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.400 is going through a health challenging he's lost his ability 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:06.879 to walk and to function normally. And they heard me 0:25:06.920 --> 0:25:10.040 telling about my mother's battle with cancer and how she 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:13.359 had to overcome those thoughts of being buried in a 0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:17.840 red dress. This lady told how her family is dealing 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:21.240 with these discouraging thoughts and how it's so easy to 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:24.600 start envisioning all the negative and playing out the worst 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:29.080 case scenarios when they start to get discouraged and go 0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.879 down the wrong path. She said, we came up with 0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:33.720 the phrase that we say to each. 0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:35.520 Other, no red dresses. 0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:39.560 That reminds them we're not going to dwell on the negative. 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:40.760 All through the day. 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:44.360 Different family members will look at each other, no red dresses. 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:49.280 They're protecting their mind. They're not allowing the wrong imagination 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.679 to play. When the enemy tells you that it's not 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.680 going to work out, how you'll never beat the cancer, 0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:59.040 never be free from the pain, never get off a dialysis, 0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:04.040 Just smile, say no red dresses. I'm not going there. Friends, 0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.159 God has you in the palm of his hand. You 0:26:07.240 --> 0:26:09.840 may have things coming against you and your health, but 0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:12.159 you have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt, 0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:16.440 healing belongs to you. The price has been paid as 0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:17.879 a child of the Most High. 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:19.760 That's one of your benefits. 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.760 Now clear out all the doubt, the discouragement, get away 0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:27.080 from the dream stealers, and get in agreement with God. 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:31.560 Start making the promise bigger than the problem. Like that 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.960 woman that has been over for eighteen years. You may 0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.879 have struggled with an illness for a long time, but 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.919 this is a new day. You're about to walk into 0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:45.359 divine healing where there's no explanation, it doesn't make sense. 0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:50.760 It's Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer. Now believe and declare. 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:55.920 God is loosing you from every sickness right now, loosing 0:26:55.960 --> 0:27:05.240 you from cancer, chronic pain, generational illness, is healing, is coming, wholeness, strength, vitality, 0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:10.199 a long healthy life in Jesus's name, And if you 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:15.040 receive it, can you say amen, I'd like to give 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.159 you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:19.639 Would you pray with me? 0:27:20.359 --> 0:27:24.200 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:27.560 into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:27:28.320 --> 0:27:30.640 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:27:30.680 --> 0:27:33.760 born again, we'd love to send you some free information 0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.040 on your new walk with the Lord.

God wants to bless us, but how do 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:54.920 you move from barely enough to just enough to more 0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:55.520 than enough. 0:27:57.200 --> 0:27:59.800 We all face difficulties and people that are hard to 0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:03.160 deal with.

Much of our frustration is we're trying 0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:12.720 to control things that we can't control, letting things stress 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.240 us that don't have to.
