 Okay, good morning once again. Welcome. Good to see you all good to know that most of you are doing well Okay, Aradhana, can I ask you to start us off with the word of prayer, please? Thank you, Father God for this time for this day Lord has we have received in your presence Lord, Lord help to receive your revelation of your world Lord Lord Lord take control of all students Lord Take control of Internet Lord Lord bless bless the pastor has Has he teach Lord? I pray in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you Aradhana Okay Let's just do a quick recap and we'll continue with where we left off. Okay, so You know where we are referring to the textbook ministering healing and deliverance For this course and one of the key things we looked at we started off by looking at some of the key points, right? We missed out on the last class But in the first two sessions we refer we looked at a lot of key points We but one of the first things is supernatural healing is in the person of Jesus Christ and not in the process that is used, right? We saw a couple of methods processes that people used to minister healing But it is not in the method or in the process, but it is in the person of Jesus Christ That is the first key point, right? That's let's we are establishing a firm foundation and Jesus is that solid rock that we are building everything on right and another key point is that Every believer can do this right every believer can do this and two things that we learned in the previous class is Jesus did everything he did with the power of the Holy Spirit and the sonship glory that was bestowed on him Right and the same thing is made available to you and me to every believer who believes in Jesus Amen, so that's the second key point that every believer can do this every believer can move and minister in healing and in deliverance, right? And then we looked at few biblical reasons why we must minister In supernatural healing and deliverance where we saw eight biblical reasons And I hope you are able to follow with me in your textbooks and what I'm just doing a quick recap The first one is miracles healing and deliverance reveal the reality and nature of God, right? There it reveals the reality and nature of God miracles reveal God's greatness Miracles demonstrate God's compassion Miracles have a powerful effect on people especially on those who do not believe it gets their attention, right? So until then the first four so we looked at that word reveal He simply means revelation or an unveiling that happens, right? That's just another word used there So there's an unveiling a revelation of who this God is and his nature his will His intentions his thoughts right and who he is his nature basically everything, right? His goodness his compassion And the fifth point was the importance Jesus himself gave to miracles right and The kingdom comes with power the kingdom of God the king kingdom is basically two words put together merge together right King and Dominion right every time a king comes he does not come alone. He comes with his dominion and Healing and deliverance is part of his kingdom and that's the kingdom of power basically, right? And the seventh point is the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs The gospel is to be preached with signs and wonders, right? And finally Miracles encourage people to believe for more of the supernatural, right? It encourages us in it increases our faith level it increases our hope, right? So those were the eight biblical reasons why we must minister supernatural healing and deliverance and And in the second session we covered We just do a very quick recap of that as well Why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? That was another thing we looked at so quickly first one of the reasons why we Not why we are not demonstrating more of God's power and again when we when I say we we're talking about the universal church right one is because of the lack of knowledge as we read in Isaiah 13 and Hosea and wrong teaching concerning the supernatural It's believing that you know miracles signs and wonders don't happen anymore. It ended When when the last apostle passed away died So teachings like that hinder us from pursuing the supernatural And the third point was leaving the miracle ministry reserved only for few. Okay, that is Okay And like it like one of the key points that we mentioned is that this ministry of healing and deliverance is for every believer and And for some reason we've raised to believe that okay the ministry of healing and deliverance is only For a certain elite Who only do with theological degrees or whatnot, you know a lot of Prefixes to their names That's misconception, but that is not correct and the fourth point is replacing the supernatural with modern Substitutes basically that's becoming complacent or comfortable with where we are at and not hungry Enough and not being desperate enough for the more of God to move in our midst, right? So those And then I mean we we finished the entire chapter of our entire first chapter of laying the foundation of what it is all about ministering in Healing and deliverance, right? I hope you guys are all okay to this point And now so we're going to start off with chapter two today let me just May try and share this screen for us so we can Follow along together I Are you able to see the screen or is it small for some reason it's okay? It's so cool Okay, there we go. All right. Cool. So We're in second chapter talks about God's word on healing. Okay. We this is just Another form another layer of foundation So to say into what we are learning about ministering healing and deliverance. Okay, so we're just going Making the foundations more stronger and stronger and I would say The first point that this chapter addresses the first thing is pretty key which is the source of sickness disease and ailments right the source of sickness disease and ailments What is the source? You know, where does it come from does it come from God? you know and So that's what we're going to try and address today, okay So it starts off by saying God created The world Perfectly like there was no flaw there was No mistake Talk about being a perfect word like I Don't know the proper definition or how to describe it, but then everything he made was Absolutely flawless But nothing needed correction You know from the from the from the place where everything was said from the place where The moon was kept but the Sun was you know the distance between that and the design of the creation How you and I were made everything was perfect until man disobeyed God right and the consequence of the disobedience Is when the sin came and with that everything else with sickness and disease and demonic oppression of all kinds Etc. Etc. Right. So if you can anyone can someone read Romans chapter 5 verse 12, please It's a very familiar passage. We would know that but The Romans chapter 5 verse 12 somebody Roman chapter 5 verse 12 when Adam sin sin entered the world Adam sin brought death. So death spread to everyone for everyone Thanks, Jeffina, can you read that one more time, please? When Adam sin sin entered the world Adam sin brought death so death spread to everyone for everyone sin Thank you, Jeffina. What translation is that if I may ask? New Living Translation NLT. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you. I liked it just for us to read it in two more other translations Any of us can read it in NKJV And also NIV whichever to have one just two more translations if I Romans 5 to that I'm reading from NKJV Therefore just as through one man sin entered the world and death through sin and thus death spread to all men because all sinned Right. Okay. Thanks, John Anybody else is another translation, please Right. It's it's fine with another language as well. I don't mind if anybody some of us can read it in Any language with news translation. Okay Sin came into the world through one man and his sin brought death with it as a result Death has spread to the whole human race Because everyone has sinned Right. Okay. Thank you. So I think it's it's quite powerful that scripture in kind of telling us The impact or the consequences of sin, right? When Adam sin Every person after him didn't really have to sin, right? They were born with sin Right, um, I mean including all of us, isn't it? Um, my three year old Son who doesn't know who has not attended a seminar or a workshop in lying Will have An entire cookie and when you ask him did you who gave that to you and did you eat it? Very conveniently and easily without any hesitation will say no, I didn't eat it Well, still the cookie crumbs can be seen on his face I hope that you know, you know, it's quite serious, isn't it? Um, the The inheritance of sin so to speak, right? It was so when one man sin Everything was impacted including creation Including creation. Okay. Um, so this is continue with where we left. So We face the book says we face sickness disease and ailments because of one or more of the following reasons So and here are a few reasons You know, let's put together First thing is man's disobedience Man's disobedience a natural process of decay and corruption Set in since the fall a natural process of decay and corruption Corruption is just another word for death, right decay and everything Set in since the fall Okay So here it says because of the fall all of creation was subject To a process of decay and corruption Corruption subject means what all of creation was a slave. That's another term, right? all of creation was a slave to the process of decay and corruption that means Romans chapter 3 verse 23 says the wages of sin is death, isn't it? So these are all the consequences the process of all of that of fall was decay and corruption Due to this process of corruption and decay We have many other conditions such as birth deformities and defects and so on etc, etc Right and all of it because of the fall because of man's disobedience, right? Can someone read this scripture please I can read it, but then I just want us to get a little involved Can someone read the scriptures that's mentioned Romans 8? You go ahead anyone yeah Romans chapter 8 verse 19 to 20 for the honest expectation of the creation Equally waits for the revealing of the sons of God So let's let's take it verse by verse. It's okay. Jeffina. I'm sorry to have interrupted you there or the floor so for the earnest expectation that means all of creation is Isn't isn't the mode of expectation, right? And we are eagerly waiting for the revealing Okay revelation they're revealing for the sons of God. Go ahead But the creation was subjected to futility not willingly but because of him who subjected it in hope Go ahead Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God Okay, right. So the all of creation is also waiting to be liberated From the corruption of this decay and process. Can you imagine that look the all of creation is still waiting, right? Okay, go on go on Jeff. It's interesting For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth tanks together until now Not only that but we also Who have the first proofs of the spirit even we are so go with it ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption the redemption of our body Okay, thank you. Right. So this is that last verse one more time. It says not only that But not only that meaning Uh, it's not not only that is that is the creation waiting to be liberated from the bondage of this corruption That it is enduring. Uh, it's not only that, you know The whole creation is groaning and label and labors with birth pangs It's not only that but we also Have the first fruits of the spirit Even we ourselves Grown within ourselves eagerly waiting for the adoption the redemption of our body Um, right. Can someone quickly just go to um, read another passage of scripture. That's from first quarantine's chapter 15 Please first quarantine's chapter 15 verse 53 and 54 First quarantine's chapter 15 verse 53 and 54 anyone For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable And the mortal with immortality When the perishable has been clothed with imperishable And the mortal with immortality then the saying that is written become true Death has been swallowed up in victory Yeah, you want let's read verse 55 as well as a conclusion where Where or death is your victory where or death is your sting the sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law Thanks be to god. He gives us the victory through our lord jesus christ Okay, okay, right. So, uh I just just another cross referencing verse that talks about uh, you know as this last verse says we are all waiting for uh, you know to Uh, to be adopted and and then for the redemption of our body simply means This corruption this corrupt body will put on in corruption. This mortal body will put on immortality Right. Um So that's the first thing that's the first point there. Okay, so, uh The first point is all about man's disobedience and how fall entered the world and you know Just destroy everything for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god, right? That's what it's all about sin is that's the simplest definition of sin is that It's just missing the mark, right? We've all sinned. We've all strayed away from the original plan From what god had from the original design And we've fallen short, right? There's a mark that was set but we've fallen short that um That's what it's all about. Okay, and the second thing Is satan's activity and direct involvement of demonic spirit? Okay, so remember we are in this chapter talking about the source of sickness disease and ailments, right? And we started off with talking about the fall And how we are all eagerly waiting uh to be redeemed uh by in our bodies and whatnot And the second thing is satan's activity and direct involvement of demonic spirits right um Acts 10 acts chapter 10 verse 38 it bible is very clear. It says God anointed jesus of nazareth With the holy spirit and with power who went about doing good And healing all who were oppressed by the devil For god was with him Okay, and now the with the sin and the fall gave Give license to the devil to come and do what he wants to do Right and john chapter 10 verse 10 says he comes to steal Kill and destroy right, uh, he comes to steal kill and destroy and He he wants to erase uh us as if we'd never existed. He does not just hate us in the simplest term But he absolutely, uh, you know, we we we make him angry, right? He's infuriated with us. He This is nothing about us that he likes Right, so he wants to just destroy us. He wants to destroy our families Everything everything everything about us just infuriates him Uh And so and this is how he takes it on us right and the sin gave him the license to come and do what he wants to do right so Why we know that all not all sickness are due to the demonic spirits And we'll we'll address that point in the neck. We'll address this thing in the next point Okay, well, we know that not all sickness are due to demonic spirits typically the following would be recognized as due to demonic work and doesn't end with this list but Such as incurable diseases or birth defect deformities, etc and etc Okay, so all of these uh, and we will learn more about this in the chapters to come Okay, guys one of the things that I want to assure you is that as we progress during this course Every frequently asked question right that you might have ever had is addressed in this book and it's pretty amazing. Okay, so Uh, as we progress, you know, hold on I'm sure all of your questions will be answered as we as we cover chapter by chapter. Okay um So that's the second point and the third one is natural causes Natural causes. Okay. So the second one was about uh, how you know, how the devil Devils, you know, how he uh He strikes us with sickness and and and oppresses us Uh, and then there was this point that says not we know that not all sickness are due to demonic spirits And then we come to this natural causes Um, and it says a person's physical problems could be because of other natural causes Very important. Please note such as neglect A lack of proper care of the body or mind Improper diet Someone said amen Uh use of substances such as alcohol drugs smoking or due to accidents Right And so all of that sometimes we choose That for ourselves, right what happens when we keep smoking. We all know the whole world knows smoking is injurious to health and Uh We choose to do that and then we can't put the blame on the devil Right, we choose to take alcohol and drugs and whatnot and then one of our organs fail Uh, you know The tendency is that okay, you know, it's because of that bad guy You know, so we uh, you know, there are consequences that we face when we choose to uh, you know Just not take care of our body and our mind and those are the those come under the Natural causes. So these are the three main things, right? Man's disobedience satan's direct activity and natural causes right So coming Back to that Classic million dollar question does god send sickness That remember we are talking about the source right So having understood the source of sickness and disease Okay, guys, I want you to just reflect having understood the sick source of sickness and disease The response to the question Does god send sickness is an emphatic? No Right god is not the author of sickness and disease Right god did not create sickness or introduce it into the world, right? Imagine that if you wanted to do it. He I'm sure genesis one and genesis verse two would speak about it At least somewhere in jab first chapter of genesis. Yeah god, you know He doesn't isn't it because he He is the source of life and everything that he does is good. Isn't it so Does god send sickness simple answer emphatic answer is no now Just think about it Ministering to someone every time you pray every time you say that I'll pray for you And we end that prayer in the name of Jesus Right, we know that the source of that sickness is not from him It could be anything else But god Okay, this has to You need to absorb this and just uh, you know That this this truth has to be rock solid in you that The source of sickness and disease is not of god Okay That you guys okay until now Yes, all right cool. Cool. All right So, uh, we've understood we've understood the source of sickness, uh, and we've learned that okay Source of sickness is not from god. He does not send sickness and whatnot But uh, just to address a few questions. What about understanding difficult passages, right? Uh, there are difficult passages in the scriptures when we when we where we come across and say, okay Why god? Did god really do this? Uh, etc. Okay, so that's what we're going to look at, right? um So god's will god's word and god's deeds will always be consistent with his nature Okay, you need to underline it highlight it do whatever you want. It's super important god's will his word And his deeds god's deeds or his acts or his actions what he does right will always be consistent with his nature And his nature as we've already studied. He is jehovah rafa. That's his covenant name. Isn't it god who heals Okay, um, so having said all of that All right, and we're going to go through a multiple scriptures. Okay, that kind of challenges us Or difficult for us to understand Says god is light and there is no darkness in him Right, that's what first john 1 5 james 117 say god is light There is no darkness in him and even in john chapter 1 say that he is the light of the world, right? Then what does the scriptures mean when it states? He bowed the heavens also and came down with darkness under his feet He made darkness his secret place His canopy around him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies Some 100 some 18 was 9 11. Why would god engage darkness here? You know, that's another challenging scripture that's used, right? Uh and more to come god is truth and he cannot lie And then yet we see that then Then what do the scriptures mean by lying spirits came from god? in those passages that you see And then we see god is peace and he is not the author of confusion, right god is peace He is not the author that means he is not the source of confusion And so what do the scriptures mean when god says i will cause confusion i will strike them with confusion god sent a spirit of ill will Are the distressing spirit from god came upon salt etc etc Right and god is jihua rafa the lord are healer and hence he has no sickness and neither is he the author of any sickness Then what do the scriptures mean when god says who has ma who has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute the deaf the seeing or the blind? Have not i the lord? Or i will put these diseases on Okay And then more How do we understand which incidents in the uh such incidents in the new testaments as zakariah being struck dumb for a season? Uh and and the death of ananias and safaira that were struck dead in the church because they were lying to the pastor Right sol being blinded for three days These are all the challenging passages right that can make us think otherwise or question us What's going on here lord? What is it? right Remember one of the things it said i mentioned in the last class is that it's okay to have questions And i think it is important to ask questions But just that please know the difference between asking a question and questioning Uh right It the source of that is from the heart right the intentions the motives behind the questions right so it's okay And um i'm sure it's not just me who've had these questions like i'm a little confused here lord help me help me out right but um And the notes the book puts puts it in it beautifully Right um God's best God's absolute best is revealed to us in jesus Right his best is revealed Revelation unveiling is revealed to us in jesus What does that mean who god is? Is perfectly revealed to us in the person of jesus christ Okay, remember like one of the key points the first key point of this course is It's not in the process or the methods But it is about the person It is in the person right and so god who god is his is perfectly revealed to us in the person of jesus christ He is the word embodied Where the word who became flesh Where the word became that means it was an action it it became something right it just didn't stay stagnant the word became There was it's a verb involved that it became flesh right that means you could it manifested itself Right um bill johnson says that jesus christ is the perfect theology Right jesus christ is the perfect theology. Okay, um can um So can can I have someone just read the remaining passage of this scripture, please? Sorry of this of this paragraph, please Our understanding about god must be perfectly aligned to who jesus is What he said and what he did since This is perfection Even the difficult passage in the rest of the scripture must be interpreted In the light of the person of jesus christ Okay, let's go on Go on What is obscure must be interpreted in the light of what is obvious That is seen so clearly in the person of christ One thing is clear that during his earthly ministry jesus healed all who came to him in faith For all who came to him in faith He healed every one of them from every kind of sickness And disease and delivered people from all demonic works. This is the perfect standard Thank you john Right. Um, so jesus is the standard. He is He's the benchmark Right for all of us and past ashish in one of the weekend schools that we have We have weekend school of ministry that happens that used to happen at least in this question Came up and uh, you know when we were discussing about this difficult passages and he says um And actually made a note he says if you don't understand difficult passages But understand jesus Then you've got it right If you don't understand difficult passages, but then if you understand jesus what he did what he said, uh, you know And how he lived Then you've got that right because he is the perfect theology Right if if there is any of the theology out there, this the study of god, right that is Not in line with the person of jesus christ, then the theology is wrong god is not wrong Right, so that was um Like a good revelation at least, uh, you know To me so um and And this is a few scriptures that I want us to read, uh, you know about I said I able to see the notes. Uh, we're based 39. That's what we're discussing 38 Okay, you're welcome And i'm i'm going to read a bunch of scriptures for us, um, you know that talks about uh everything what jesus did So is there with me and if you want to make a note of it, please make a note of it Matthew chapter 8 verse 16 Matthew chapter 8 verse 16 says When evening came they brought to him many who were demon possessed And he cast out the spirits with the word and healed all who were ill Matthew chapter 12 verse 15 Matthew 12 15 says but jesus aware of this withdrew from there many followed him and he healed them all Matthew 14 14 When he went ashore he saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them and healed their sick Matthew 14 36 And they implored him that they might just touch the fringe of his cloak And as many as touched it were cured Matthew 15 30 A large crowds came to him bringing with them those who were lame crippled blind mute and many others and they laid them down at his feet and he healed them That is Matthew 15 verse 30 Okay, uh luke chapter 4 was 40 luke 4 40 While the sun was setting all those who had any Who were sick with various diseases brought them to him And laying his hands on each one of them. He was healing them You guys one more. It's a couple more. I hope you're not tired Luke 5 17 it says one day he was teaching And there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea And from Jerusalem and the power of the law was present for him to perform healing last one Right luke 9 11 But the crowds were aware of this and followed him and welcoming them He began speaking to them about the kingdom of god and curing those who had need of healing And then that's uh, that's just the gist um Of everything what jesus did and it's not even everything It's just a few scriptures and there's so much more of what of what he did right so, uh, the point here is God's best is revealed to us in jesus everything that uh, you know And this is in context with the previous passages is of understanding difficult passages of scriptures, right? So god's best is revealed to us in jesus because he is perfect theology, right? and the second point is God permitted the consequences of sin and the works of satan to continue on earth As for a time Okay, god has permitted consequences of sin. That's the consequence of sin. That is the consequence of of the fault We have to live. Okay. Can someone read a psalm 115 verse 16, please psalm 115 verse 16 and luke chapter 4 verse 6 and 7 Sounds uh 115 verse 16 the heaven Even the heavens are the lords but the earth he has given to the children of man Thank you And can someone read luke chapter 4 verse 6 and 7 please Luke chapter 4 verse 6 and 7 I will give you all this power and all this wealth The devil told him it has all been handed over to me and I can give it to anyone I choose All this will be yours Go ahead. Sorry Right all this will be yours if you worship me. Thank you rosen uh, right so we see from the scriptures that uh, The heavens the psalm says the heavens belong to him and the earth was given to us Right one of the first commandments, uh, that was given to adam was god told him He gave dominion To adam over the earth. He says, okay, you have dominion over this Uh over this planet or over earth. It was given to us Right, so god permitted the consequences of sin and the works of satan to continue on earth for a time being Right and the example used here is the example between the landlord and the tenant Right Uh, you know, I'm I'm sure some of us. Uh, I've lived in a rented house. I'm living in a rented house And I'm not the owner of this house How I keep my home or house Uh, you know, I'm not going to blame my owner or the landlord for everything that's happened that happens here Right if my if this room is clean, I'm not going to call my owner and say Uh, why is my room clean? What do you think is going to do? Right, um And yes, you know Things like that everything that happens, uh in this house the landlord is not responsible for everything Our actions are And then there are times we understand and realize there are certain things that needs to be fixed Okay, that only the landlord can and we go to the landlord and it says like hey, uh, you know, this has happened This pipe is broken. Uh, this needs to be fixed and you know, you are the owner and and And spiritually translating that is what we call prayer Right, we invite and that's what jesus taught us to pray isn't uh, let your kingdom come let your will Be done right god's will his word his acts everything is revealed in his nature Right, so when let your kingdom come let your will be done, right? And as I mentioned earlier when king comes he comes with his dominion Right in his dominion There is no darkness, right? Um So he comes and uh, he comes and moves he he intervenes Right and by answering our prayer And then there was something spectacular that happened was that Even without prayer The story of redemption took place Right, that was his huge plan like the master plan from the beginning. Okay, you know, we uh in our disobedience Sin came we fall we fell from god's grace Uh, but god just didn't let us uh, you know Go and die by ourselves. He did not let us be orphans He orchestrated a glorious salvation plan and that and that is the story of redemption of jesus You know coming to earth And that's why we say that jesus is Is the perfect theology the will of the father is revealed to us Through jesus right very quickly. Um a couple points before we close this session Um, many suffer simply because of their own sinful or careless actions Okay, uh, once again talking about consequences for our action. Okay It's one of those laws of physics, you know, every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Okay, there has to be It's it's like a law, right? We cannot attribute everything that goes on in our lives the way we take care of ourselves, uh, you know And blame it on god. It's very easy for us to do that. Right. It's very convenient for us to do that, isn't it? You know, it's so so many so many things can lead to as not living a healthy life And one of that could be bitterness All right, okay Someone did something to us and you hold on to that you become bitter And over the age the days go by the months go by you become a person that you're not able to recognize yourself because of the bitterness that you harbor in your heart against another individual or what not Whatever and then your health is being ruined because of that right, uh That this is just one of the examples and how we you know with our and and that's considered sin, isn't it? Um, you know by by being careless In our own sinful ways And the fourth point it says that in the exercise of divine judgment Right in the exercise of divine judgment every time with god wants to correct something You know or bring to people's attention of what they are doing is wrong For a period of time he withdraws his protection over an individual and this is where we understand certain scriptures when we read in In the old testament it's we time and read that he handed them over to the philistines He and handed them over to the philistines Right, it's not like god took them and in their in his hands gave no It simply means that he withdrew his protection from them from the israelis for a period of time Why because of their sinful ways? Right consequences That's the first thing and secondly he engages the elements of this world To get our attention Right, he engages the elements of this world to get our attention and that kind of tells the story of What happened with paul right on the road to damaskus? He simply got using one of the elements of this world blindness strikes him and then Questions him Is that why do you persecute me? sorry, right and then He got his attention and it's all for a period of time where god exercise chooses to exercise divine judgment, okay So let's do a quick summary of everything that we've covered so far Okay, i'm going to Request some of us just to read this. Hey, sid can you go ahead and read this first para please First i'm not feeling well at all. No Okay, all right Isaac or zealot only anyone can just yeah anyone Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, please demonic walks and man's action God cannot give or bless people with something It does not have Seems to have that there is no disease and demonic powers in heaven When sickness or evil spirits are stated as coming from god or being sent by god We must understand This in the light of number two and number three above Okay, that's talking about the two and third points about yeah, go ahead. Sorry. Yeah God has permitted this here on on the earth for a period however Jesus came to be the complete remedy for the fall and for sin And this becomes the basis for us as believers to overcome what the devil may Normally do to people on earth. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Isaac, right Jesus Christ came to be the complete remedy for the fall and for sin And this becomes the basis guys Once again highlight that this becomes the basis for us as believers to overcome what the devil may normally do to people on earth, right? Let's go on let's finish this and somebody else read the second para please Divine judgments when there is outright sin and no repentance even after repeated warning God removes his hand of protection that would have normally preserved people in such cases In such cases god permits or engages natural elements to get people's attention Moses causing the plagues in Egypt Saul being blind for a few days Herod struck with worms Alimah's being blinded for a season in acts 13 are some examples However, repentance brings people out From a place of judgment and into God's mercy mercy always triumphs over judgment James chapter two was 13 Thank you. Okay. And just in conclusion the last point here. It says times of great glory Can someone read that please? Right. Okay. It simply says Further what we see in in in that in times or seasons when God's glory being manifested is great There is lower tolerance for sin Right including unbelief in times of great visitation There is greater glory greater grace but lower tolerance of sin very important And an IS and sapphira Where in the Jerusalem church where the glory of God was great? Okay, there was a revival that was happening in that church in that region every there were a lot of people who were giving And church was like like I said, you know, there was a revival that was happening right in that in that area And so there was greater glory And as mentioned with greater glory comes lower tolerance of sin And what just happened there was an an IS and sapphira lied To the people to the leadership of the church and everything so there was no tolerance, right? And there was low tolerance for sin. There's sin of lying to the holy spirit And uh, Zachariah encountered God's angel Gabriel but was unbelieving And was struck dumb for a season Because you did not believe my words. It says in luke 120 Right, so that's the summary of the section that we learned so far and the conclusion This whole thing is guys and I want to drive this home is God is not the author of sickness and disease This is not his intent or design for people God's will his word and his deeds will always be consistent with his nature Okay, um, I will stop Presenting and stop recording Now and we'll resume after the break in the next session. All right See you guys in 10 minutes
