 I'm sorry, I had my mic on mute. So I was reading from 2 Peter chapter 3 and verse 17 and 18. So Peter's warning the believers saying, you therefore beloved, right? He's warning all the believers and he's saying, you be careful. You know this beforehand. You know, he's talking about be diligent to play a scene by him, be found by him in peace without spot, without blame and so on. Then he says, you know, you be careful, beware, right? Lest you also fall from your own steadfastness. What is steadfastness? You know, being established, being firm, being consistent, right? In the spiritual walk, being steadfast, right? So he's saying you is alerting them that there is a possibility of falling away from that steadfastness. There's a possibility of moving away from that, from that consistent spiritual, strong spiritual walk. So he's saying, be aware. And what is the antidote that he gives? What is the secret to being a walking steadfast? That's found in verse 18. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So this is a very important thing for us as believers to continue to grow. Because there's no end to his knowledge, right? There's no end to his grace. There's no end to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus, knowing Him, right? Not just knowing about Him, information about Him that is also there. Also just knowing Him personally, right? There's no end to that because he is infinite, right? So he's saying, just continue to grow. And if we continue to grow, we will not fall away from that consistent spiritual life. Now, if you read 1 Peter, 2 Peter, Peter's actually writing and he gives a lot of, you know, spiritual input, revelation about continuing to walk strong. Okay, I know this is the last session for this semester for the class Holy Spirit. So I just want us to alert us to this fact that the secret to having a consistent walk with God is to continuing to grow. The minute we say, okay, I don't want to grow. I just want to plateau off. I just want to stay where I am. There's no staying where I am. There's no staying where we are. It will only be drifting away. So, you know, Peter talks in both the episodes he talks about continuing to grow strong, right? So let's pray and say, Lord, may my hunger never be quenched. You know, that fire let it never be put out. Okay, let's pray. You pray in your own words. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father. Thank you. Yes, Lord, our desire is to grow in the grace. Our desire is to grow in the knowledge because there's no end to knowing you, Lord. You are infinite in your grace and infinite in your knowledge. And Father God, even as we continue to pursue you, even as we continue to journey with you, maybe continue to grow, Father God, grow in the grace, grow in the knowledge and be strong in the grace and be strong in the power of the Lord. Lord, and I just pray for every person in this class, online and in person. Lord, I just pray that each one of us will have a consistent walk with you, Master, because that is your desire and that is your will and wish for each one of us. God, that we will continue to go on strong and fulfill the destiny and the plan and purpose that you have for each one of us and maybe be found faithful and, Lord, maybe be found joyful while doing this. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Okay. Okay, so we come to the final sessions, final couple of sessions and we're going to look at some of the things. I don't know, even though we finished our test exams and everything, the last few things that we want to look at, maybe you have some questions, we can look at it in the second session. Okay, so we are looking at gifts of healing, working of miracles and the final one, gift of faith. Gifts of healings, if you see, that's how it is in the English, which is translated from the Greek, that is how it is mentioned, 1 Corinthians 12, if you see that list, it says, gifts of healings. Okay, so which means that there are different kinds of healings, which means for different kinds of illnesses, different kinds of things that are not right with the body, with the mind, different kinds of healings and also different ways in which it is ministered. So gifts, healings, different kinds of healings and the different ways in which the healings take place, healing takes place. So gifts of healings. So if you look at gifts of healing, so we see it's a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, supernatural work of God. Can our body heal by itself? Yes it can. So the way God designed our bodies, like when there's a cut, normally if you're a healthy person, there's a cut, it bleeds for some time, then it actually stops and starts to heal. The tissue starts to repair itself. That's how God designed our body. When you have a fever, that means it's a symptom of some infection. The body is actually fighting the infection and that's why we have a fever. Temperature increases because the body is actually fighting the thing. So we know that the body can heal. That's how wonderfully God designed our bodies. But this is not referring to that natural healing process. It is a supernatural healing. Whenever we say gifts of healing, it's a supernaturally imparted spiritual gift for that moment, for that particular need. That is why we call it gifts of healing. So it's a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. Things could be wrong in our bodies because of various reasons. Because of sin, the original sin. The whole creation is corrupted. The whole creation. You see even trees, plants, everything, there is that sense of corruption in it. Our bodies also. So it could be that sometimes we are born with some defects. We call that something that is passed on from our parents, maybe. We are born with some things. That's not how God intended. But because of sin, that's how it is. Because of the weaknesses in the bodies, that's how it is. So we could be born with something. It could be something genetic. It could be because of neglect of our bodies. We neglect our body and then we fall into all kinds of problems. People go and smoke or whatever, drugs and all that. And then it affects the body. Because of that, there could be something wrong with the body. Or it could be because of some accident, something that we overlooked. And it happens because of neglect, because of intentional misuse of the body. It happens, abuse. But in all these cases, God is able to supernaturally bring about healing. And we see that. We see these examples in the Old Testament. And we read about Abraham praying for Abimelek and for his servants and so on. And the entire family, they were actually barren. Childlessness was a problem. And then Abraham prayed and they were healed. And Old Testament, if you want to look at examples, there are many ways. Many ways in which God brings about the healing. God, in fact, reveals himself in one of the covenant names. The covenant name, where he remains Jehovah, Rafa. He says, you know, this is my name. This is how I'm introducing myself to you, because that is what I do. The covenant names of God talks about the character of God, the nature of God. So he says, I am Jehovah Rafa. I'm Jehovah Jaira, I'm the provider. So this is what he does. This is who he is. So he comes and he, you know, he does what he does best. That's his nature. In the covenant names of God also, he says, you know, when he led the people of Israel, he talks about how they did not fall ill. When they were living in obedience, they did not fall ill. He talks about how their feet did not swell when they walked in the desert. So he talks about that. Another example, Elisha and Naaman comes, Syrian comes for healing. And Naaman does not have faith. Naaman does not have faith. He says, you know, there are better rivers in the nation where I come from. Why should I go and dip myself here? In fact, does not even have faith. And then we see that he obeys and he is healed. So one thing that we need to understand is when it comes to gifts of healings, you know, or maybe we just back up, when it comes to healing, healing takes place broadly in different ways, different categories. How, you know, I meditate on the Word of God. I receive the Word of God, I read, I meditate on the Word of God. And what does that result in? That results in something called, something called you grow. Yeah, you grow. Yes. But when you meditate on the Word of God, when you, something happens. Living waters flow. Okay. How does, okay, when we hear God's Word over and over again, we take God's Word intentionally. What happens to us? What do we, what is created in us? Faith. Very simple, right? Faith comes by hearing, by hearing the Word of God. Right? So faith is produced in us. So when faith is produced in us, we are able to receive whatever, receive healing by faith. Right? So we, you know, there's a lot of unbelief, there's a lot of questions, but we read the Word of God, we meditate on the Word of God and faith grows, right? And we receive by faith. Okay. Second way, you know, God, second way by which healing happens, it could be because we, because of what we are studying right now, which is gifts of healings. It is, well, the person, the recipient of who needs healing does not have faith or may not have faith, need not. But it happens because of the person who's praying or ministering, who's praying in faith, who's ministering in faith and the gifts of healing, gifts of healings works through that person. God uses that person to minister, right, to serve the other person, to take care of the healing need or the, you know, the need to heal that sickness and the other person. So it could happen because of that. Thirdly, we also see that it could be an atmosphere of God's presence and God's glory where nobody is praying, right? Nobody is praying for the person to be healed. That person themselves, they are not praying. Okay. But it just happens because that they are in that presence of, in the, you know, presence of God and a glorifying God and the manifest presence of God brings about healing. Okay. So, so that's what, that's what we see the power of God. It says, you know, scripture, when we read through the gospel, it talks about the power of God was present to heal. Right. So power of God would press all kinds of sicknesses, all kinds of ailments. So healing could take place in all these things, you know, different ways. So, so we're talking about the second category where it's gifts of healing because of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, like supernaturally brought about. Okay. So we saw some Old Testament examples, New Testament examples that are numerous in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. He taught, he preached, he healed. We see examples in the, in the church, the New Testament church and the book of Acts, what we read right through the disciples continued to do what the Lord Jesus did and continued in that ministry, right, in supernatural ways of healing, deliverance and so on. Okay. So we see a lot of examples, both in the old and the new. Okay. So how does the Holy Spirit, like we study the other gifts, how does the Holy Spirit initiate this release of healing? Okay. So is that something that we need to understand? How does the Holy Spirit initiate? Okay. So the best thing for us is, okay, to continue to pray and expect and say, Lord, there is this need. I'm sure there could be this need, but Lord, you intervene. Right. So for us, it God reveals, he gives us a sense of what he is doing. Okay. So there is a sense of knowing and yes, that God is going to heal or God is healing, bringing about healing, okay, a releasing of a sense of knowing. Like, like even in Peter's case, like Peter was talking to Aeneas, a man who was paralyzed, a man who was, you know, he was for several years. So, and then he sees him and then he says, he has a sense of something that is happening. He says, Jesus, the Christ heals you. He's healing you now. Jesus the Christ. So Peter had a sense of something that is happening to Aeneas. There's a lot of healing. So how did he know that, you know, through your spiritual senses, like what we're talking about, right? Being sensitive to God, God reveals that I'm healing. I'm bringing about healing for this person, right? You know in your spirit. Okay. And it could also be, secondly, through words of knowledge. Okay. So there is a word of knowledge. What is the word of knowledge? You just finished the test. What is the word of knowledge? Information about the past. It could be about the present, right? Something, information that is supernaturally revealed, right? So you didn't ask the person, you didn't have an interview with the person and say, okay, what is wrong with your body? But God put it in your heart saying that this is it, right? So through a word of knowledge. And why is God giving that information to you? Saying that there is somebody with this condition in this place. Why do you think God is doing that? Why does God give the word of knowledge? That is the only way to talk with us. You know, I'm saying like, see, okay, God gives this information about somebody's health issue, health challenge, right? About somebody's sickness. Now, why do you think God is revealing that to you? Let's say, Anand, okay, you get a word of knowledge, okay? Something's wrong with this person. So why do you think God is purposely revealing that information to you? He wants us to co-labor with him, Prince? Yeah, correct. But why? You're saying, what is God's intent? Why should he do that? He wants to, okay, co-labor. That's why he is revealing to you. He wants you to have faith, okay? God cares. In what way does God care in this particular situation? God knows what they are going through. God knows already, okay, will it stop with that or something more? What is that more? That God wants to do what? Yeah, that's the thing. That God wants to do something with that sickness. That God wants to deal with that sickness, deal with that problem. See, that person knows already. That person is unwell. He's been having a morning free, evening is coughing, coughing, getting up, coughing. He knows that something's problem was there with the lungs. So, what is the purpose in saying, hey, I think God is saying that there's a problem here. What is the purpose that God wants to bring about change? His healing into a sick person's body. So the word of knowledge is also one way by which God brings about the gifts of healing. He wants to... So, first thing, there's a sense of knowing, then the through words of knowledge. It could be in recognizing healing presence and anointing and also it could be because of people's faith and expectation. Like Peter and John, when they go to the temple, they see this person who has been sitting there for a number of years. He's been there, he's born that way. But Peter and John look at them, Peter looks at him and then he sees that he has faith to be healed. There is expectation and faith. He isn't listening and then he has that faith. So, it could be all these ways or we looked at four ways by which the Holy Spirit initiates this gift of healing. So, what do I do now? I receive this information, I get a sense that, yes, God is about to do something. What do I do? How do I co-labor? Let's look at how to release, in other words, how to release this gift. God wants us to declare what he's doing. So, that's the thing. Peter does that, right? Peter does that. The Lord does that. Say, the pulit Bethesda, that is it, rise up, get up, take your bed and walk. To declare what God is doing. So, what does it mean to declare? To proclaim. Declaration is different from petition. Petition is asking. Lord, won't you heal this person? There is a place for that. We need to do that. Pray, ask God to heal. But this is different where you get the sense that, yeah, God has already revealed, so you declare it. Why has it revealed that you know God's nature? You know His covenant name is to bring about healing. So, you declare healing over that person in the name of Jesus. The authority that is given you by the blood of the Lamb. You declare healing and say, be healed. It's not me who's doing it. It's not my strength, but it's His strength. So, in the name of Jesus. He is the name which means that He has placed you there as a substitute to do things on His behalf. So, declare, release further words of knowledge. As you're declaring, maybe there's some more information that God is giving about things that are happening, things that are changing, you release that as well, words of knowledge. And faith and prayer, we see that God, in the Lord Jesus and the great commission, He says they will lay hands on the sick man. So, you're sovereignly, I mean, you're praying from a distance, but then if possible, if it's culturally okay, etc., laying hands on people. In James, the last chapter, we see that the elders anointed with oil and prayed. So, in all these ways, laying hands, anointing with oil, praying and commanding healing. So, we see that in all these ways, the gifts of healing is released. So, like I said, like we are learning about the profiting, we're going to learn about healing and deliverance. I see all your responses. Thank you. So, God wants to use us to bring about healing and deliverance. And so, we're going to spend a lot of time on whole semester on healing and deliverance. So, it's going to be a very detailed study, emotional healing, etc. So, let's move on to the next one. The next one is working of miracles. So, how is healing different from miracles? Anyone? Similarity? Both are supernatural works. So, difference? Something that is impossible. So, healing refers to something that is pertaining to our body or our mind. But miracle goes beyond that. It could be something to do with our bodies, like healing. For example, let's say somebody is suffering from wheezing, asthma, breathing difficulty. And God can heal that person. And God will heal that person. I got healed of wheezing many years ago, some two decades ago, or maybe I think it's more than that. Instantly, in one night, God healed. And that never reoccurred again, healed completely. So, that's a healing. But what if a person, let's say, there's something wrong with their right eye? And the reason is, they don't have a retina in the eye, because of which they cannot see. Only one eye, this eye is blind. The problem is, there's no retina there. Now, when we pray, God does something miraculous. The person is able to see. So, is that healing or a miracle? It's a miracle. It's a miraculous. Why? Because the retina is not even there. Probably the retina was created, recreated. It just came into being. Or that person is able to see without the retina. A miracle is something which goes beyond our understanding. It's a supernatural thing. Or it could be some metal plates disappearing in our body. You know, you do a surgery and you put some rods there and people pray and God intervenes miraculously and then they take an X-ray and those rods are not there. Metal plates are not there. It could be a creative miracle. It could be something disappearing altogether. Tumors disappearing. Cancers disappearing. It could be, it's a miracle. It's a healing, but it's also a miracle. A miracle goes beyond physical things about our body. It can be something to do with nature. It can be something to do with our finances. It could be something to do with a supernatural work outside of that, outside of our bodies. I've heard testimonies where this meeting was supposed to happen and it was threatening to rain and this evangelist and he shared that we know him personally so we can kind of testify, vouch for the integrity of the whole thing. So he, I think twice I've heard this. He just declared those clouds to move in the name of Jesus. It was threatening to rain. He declared those clouds to move and the clouds moved over the place where this meeting was supposed to happen. So it was a miracle, a supernatural work of God. In another case, you know, it started to rain but when this person prayed and declared around that venue, it was not raining, which means the clouds, you know, that happens sometimes, right? When you're going, you see that, okay, there's rain happening there but not here. It's raining there, right? Or sometimes it's raining here and then you cross over and there it's not raining. Something like that happened but over the venue of the meeting, you know, again a supernatural work of God just moved those clouds around. It's nothing foreign, right? So that's the difference, basic difference between healing and miracle. It's a supernatural work of God. It could be God intervening in nature. It could be God supplying things, creating things, making things disappear, right? Supernatural, maybe even supernatural movement from one place to another like we see in the case of Philip, like we read in the Book of Acts, right? What happens when Philip comes out of the water? He's actually ministering baptism to the Ethiopian official, Ethiopian eunuch. What happens after the baptism? What happens? Any idea? Sorry, I'm asking him. What happens when Philip, you know, he's in Samaria, he goes, he gives up to the Ethiopian eunuch, right? They come out of the water, something happens there. What happens? Yeah, the Ethiopian miss doesn't see him at all. And it says Philip was then found in another place. Supernatural transportation, like sometimes I wish happens, you know, today actually as I was coming, line of vehicles just all the way. I said, I don't know if I'm going to make it on time, Lord. Sometimes you wish supernatural transportation. Suppose I, you know, I'm just driving and I find myself inside the compound near the party. God can do it and God has been doing it through the ages. He does it. So working off miracles. We see the Old Testament supernatural supply of oil, supernatural supply of, you know, flour, flour, you know, as a dough to make bread, parting of rivers. In the New Testament, the Lord Jesus turning water into wine, calming of the storm, walking on water, miraculous catch of fish. All these are miraculous. Miraculous works of God. So same way, like we saw in gifts of healings. How is that that you get a sense of knowing that God is doing something. God is doing something. And then the signs, wonders and miracles are about to happen or it's already happening. God is doing something. So I remember that I think this was just before the pandemic. We had, you know, there was this during supernatural hour. I think maybe you may have heard of, you must have watched the video also. There was one of the students, you know, we were, I was not there. I just heard about it. Then there was during the time of worship and there was a sense of God doing something. And then everybody prayed over that person in the past hour, she was ministering and everybody prayed over that student. And he, he is one leg was shorter than the other. And but as they were praying, as they were ministering, the other leg grew out. Right. And then he stood, they measured, he checked with the doctors as it's fine. But right from birth, his one leg was shorter than that. The testimony is there on the, I think it's there on the church online thing. You can check it out. So, you know, God, there was a sense that expectation, there's something about to happen. And as we're praying and as we're praying for that person, the leg just grew out and does a miraculous work of God. So we know, we get a sense that God is about to do something, release something. There's a faith and expectancy in everybody's heart. So how do we, you know, how do we minister in this the same way? Like how we minister in, in gifts of healings, the same way, right? We declare what God is doing, right? We release, okay, we release, God is already doing in our midst. We command, we declare, right? And also it could be God is revealing some information. He's giving words of knowledge about something that he's doing. So you release those words of knowledge. Words of knowledge are not meant to be just kept, you know, you're supposed to either you pray online, in line with the word of knowledge, or you're supposed to share it with someone, reveal it, declare it. And in some cases, of course, you can, but you're supposed to pray whatever, you know, he's showing and ask the next step, Lord, what do I do? So word of knowledge through prayer and faith. One important thing is also, you know, getting people to act according to their faith. Okay, now I'm able to do some things, or maybe I need to go and check something. I need to, you know, in order to find out, or in order to act on behalf of the faith that is in me, in obedience. So as an act of faith, right, Peter actually stepped out and he started walking on water. Like, what was that? It was a very risky thing to do. And it's sometimes embarrassing because, oh, it seems like, okay, he suddenly he started drowning because he lost his focus, he got fear. And then the good part is this, both of them walk back. How did we get back to the thing? The Lord raised him up and he walked back to the ship, I mean, put. So we, you know, it's a risky thing for us and also for the person. And if you're ministering, it's a risky thing, but it's an act of faith. So ask people to check, test, maybe sometimes people need to go check with the medical person. So a working of miracle happens the same. Just one more thing is that the gift of faith. Now, this is different again from faith, you know, comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Okay, this is the gift of faith. So what does that mean? That means that the Holy Spirit, when we look at all the gifts, we see that it's the Holy Spirit who's imparting something, who's bringing something. It's a gift, it's a gift of grace, it's chaos, it's a gift of grace. Now here also, this faith, the supernatural faith comes into us by the Holy Spirit. Okay, now you may say, okay, I have faith for certain things, but this is like a huge, I don't have enough faith for that. It's like the father or that person was commented by the evil spirit. He says, he comes and says, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. I believe certain things, I believe you, but there seems to be some sense of unbelief. I don't believe that much. So the supernatural impartation of faith, where we say, I have a level of faith, this is supernaturally imparted, infusion of faith, where you're moving, maybe it's in case of healings or maybe in case of miracles, like it's all flows together, supernaturally, you normally wouldn't have done that. You normally won't say such things, but then you did it because there was this great assurance, this great faith imparted by the Holy Spirit. Okay, so we see things that happen because of great faith. I see some miracles in Egypt. We see the sun standing still and all the Old Testament and in the New Testament, several examples right through Book of Acts see that supernatural things happening. So we know that gift of faith, it's a supernatural infusion or impartation of faith, it's given by God for that particular moment. Okay, and then you don't keep quiet, but you are acting out or working in line with what God has put in you. Right, supernatural work. So how do you release faith? We speak, we act. You speak out, God is doing, we act, which means we need to take a step of that supernatural faith. So we cannot just keep quiet and expect things to happen, but we need to move out in faith and do certain things in line with what God is wanting us to do. Okay, so it's a gift of faith. So we looked at three things, gifts of healings, looking of miracles and gift of faith. Any questions, any questions? Yeah, you have a question, Prince. The weather, multiplication of food and yeah, we can. Yeah, see, all the gifts are for us. And the thing is, it's not us, it's God, right, in the opposite. See, we see that they're not by name, but it says that, you know, if you act, especially if you read Acts 19 talks about unusual miracles, which were through the hands of the apostles, unusual, like especially it's referring to Peter and Paul and so on, like handkerchiefs taken from their body and then deliverance and healing and happening. So it's not listed, but that doesn't mean that God did not work or does not work. See, if you, let's say you move out of that account and you study church history and you read the accounts of people who have been serving, you know, right, through revivals and everything, you see that God has done some amazing things, multiplication, supernatural transportation, amazing things, right. So God is not restricted by time or technology. Like sometimes we say, okay, we have, when I have Swiggy and Zomato, why should there be multiplication of food? But the fact is that God is able to do, and Ephesians 3 talks about that. He's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask of things. So that's the nature of God, that's the character of God. So we don't have to limit, you know, if there is a need, and if it is only God can do that, God will. I think we need to have that mindset as believer, have a radical mindset saying, yeah, God, you can do it. And that's the journey of faith. It doesn't happen overnight. Maybe there are a lot of things, a lot of pessimism, a lot of things that have happened in our lives because of which it's all there. Like the father who brought that person, yeah. So for him, maybe he has seen day in and day out his son suffering, his child suffering. So he's saying, God, you help my unbelief, God. And that's a great prayer to pray. That's a great prayer to pray. God will take us, God will change those things in us. And the way we believe today will not be the way we believe maybe a year from now or even a month from now because we are as long as we are, you know, like we saw that last to us, second Peter 318, as long as we are growing in the grace, grace which refers to all these things and knowledge, right? And knowledge is not just information, but actually knowing him intimately, you know, epinosis. As long as we're growing in the grace and knowledge of our God, you know, we are going to be changing in faith and expectations. And sometimes, you know, God surprises, even though we don't have faith, you know, though we don't believe, God surprises. And it's amazing, right? When God does that. Yeah. So, yeah. So he will. Yeah. So healing. This is healing. Okay. Nothing happens. There's no breakthrough. Okay. Okay. So, so, so the thing is this, rather than, okay, it's good if God reveals, okay, it is because maybe there are some factors that we didn't even think about, maybe certain things need to change. Maybe there is, you know, we don't know. It's, it's good not to jump to any conclusion and say, okay, this is, this is why it's not happening. But the thing is to say, Lord, this is who you are. That doesn't change. Yeah. This condition or thing, it doesn't, you know, doesn't seem to have changed. It seems like a battle that is lost, you know, especially when it comes to people losing their lives because of sickness. So, but in our mind, we should have this, you know, God, you don't change. You know, this is your covenant name. Now, I don't know why this hasn't happened. You know, I believe sincerely with every cell in my body and that other person also seems to have believed and it's not just one day, but you believe for a season and still it does not happen. So, to say, God, you know, this is who you are. I don't have the answers, but I'm going to, I'm going to move on in life, continue on in life. And, you know, that's the best way. Otherwise, we could become all angry, hurt, disappointed and say, God, I don't have anything to, I don't want anything to do with you. And really, and then at some point we realize, oh, you know, and then you come back to God and then you've lost so much of time and in the journey. And that's not the thing. See, there are too many questions that only God has the answers. So, it's best that we know that one day we will know all these things. We will know when we see him face to face. So, let's trust him saying, God, you know the answers and I trust you and continuing on in life. Now, okay, I think we have about five minutes. Yeah, we have some time. So, this is what happened. Okay, for me personally, this is what happened. See, I was sharing about how I was instantly healed of reason. Okay, that came out of a revelation of the finished work of Jesus on the cross. Okay, so I went to this small church. We used to go to this place in the evenings, Sunday evening. So, I went there and that's the first time I'm listening or hearing about this finished work of Jesus on the cross. Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5, he carried my pain, my grief, everything. And at those days I used to suffer from wheezing because of weather, you know, Bangalore and the saying, you know, pollution and all that. So, that night, so I went for the service. I heard this thing that, yes, he has taken your symptom, he taken your sickness. Then this lady who prayed for me said, okay, he has already taken it, we have prayed. And so now you go back home, thank God, thank the Lord because he has taken your symptom. I said, okay, fine. Went home, major attack of wheezing, major attack. Okay, so it just started off. Everybody's, you know, gone to bed. I'm not able to, I'm just, you know, sitting and I'm just, you know, trying to breathe. And then I remembered what this lady said, okay, Jesus has taken it on the cross. So it means I don't have to carry it anymore. So I'm going to thank the Lord. You know, I'm going to put my faith in the finished work of Jesus, what he's already done. So I'm going to put my, I believe that you did that. I thank you, Lord. And then I said, okay, God, I thank you by your stripes. I am healed today. I thank you. I don't know when I slept. Morning, I just found myself on the couch, you know, just woke up. Then I realized that, hey, I can, it's fine. And from that day till today, it's completely healed completely. It's like many years ago, I'm talking about, it's 17 years since I started serving in church. It's years before that. So praise God. He is completely healed and things. So instantly, then there was another condition for my body. Like I used to get these, you know, whenever I, this condition called gout, it's painful, you know, joints and everything. These crystals form in the joints and it makes it painful. So I was reminded of this, God, you know, you did this. And so God, I believe that nothing's happening. Same revelation. I'm just praying God. This is it. I'm commanding, laying hands, praying, fasting, nothing is happening. And then I got very frustrated because here I'm teaching on healing, you know, this Sunday sermons on healing and going back in pain, traveling in pain, unable to drive sometimes. And then one day I was just sitting and asking the Lord, Lord, what is this? I can't continue like this. And the Lord took me to another, I mean the same scripture where we started off, Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5. He says, do you believe this? I said, yes, I do. And then there was absolute silence. Nothing more from God. He just left me there, Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5. I said, okay, God, I'll just stay with this. I'll stay with this. And progressively from that day, I got healed, progressively. But whenever I abuse the body, whenever I overeat on, you know, binge on meat and certain things, there are some reactions. I'm praying that that will also go. But the thing is this, it was progressive. And the Lord left me with Isaiah 53 verse 4 and 5. He said, I've done it on the cross. You know, it's an established fact. It's a historical fact. It's a spiritual, it's a given that this is what happened. Just stay with it. So anytime, for me, when somebody doesn't get healed or, you know, we pray for people to be raised from the dead multiple times, you know, in the ICUs, in the mortuary, you know, 2 a.m., 3 a.m. in the morning. And when things don't happen, I go back to Isaiah 53 verses 4 and 5. Yeah, there's a lot of disappointment. Yeah, there's a lot of pain, et cetera, a lot of tears. Go back to Isaiah 53 verse 4 and 5. Stay there and say, God, this doesn't change. Cross happened. And you don't change. Hebrews 13 and 8, you are the same. So I'm going with that. You know, so that's, so that's the place for us to, if we keep that perspective, it will grow from faith to faith. Journey with God. Okay, we'll stop here. Take a break and come back.
