 Hey everyone, welcome back To the second session on the strong divine healing This is your way we left off Great, so are we conclude if the last session we're talking about the third principle which is on the floor of compassion so In the first session you cover the first three principles, which is the will of God the exercise of faith and the flow of compassion Where as for pauses one quick, you know Minute and I will not balance the question. It was posted by John Johnson mentioned that your question was Related to John chapter five. So what what really happened? So as mentioned so history claims like, you know That angel would come and stir the waters and the first person So to enter the pool would be heat But those are the claims of history. However, as mentioned, I didn't teach that so You can really know for sure but you know couple of things what we know is that this pool was was outside of Jerusalem, just, you know, so the town so to speak The sheetgate John chapter 5 anyway sheetgate is normally the north and side Jerusalem so these are the only things that that is I know, you know, I'm aware of All the pool but then and everything else is Kind of what the history says so Yeah, sorry. Yeah, okay. No, thank you Cool. Okay. So we look at move on to the fourth principle is Anointing of the Holy Spirit Anointing of the Holy Spirit. So We have emphasized the necessity of the power of the Holy Spirit in ministering heating and deliverance Maybe I've emphasized on it More than a couple of times in previous chapters. That's simply because we know that Jesus Right ministered by the power of the spirit But everything Jesus did Every healing miracle that he performed Was through the power of the Holy Spirit Okay, and so we learn to grow in the anointing and minister out of the anointing We learn to grow in the anointing and minister out of the anointing We are sensitive to the flowing of God's spirit and the flowing of anointing of God and yield to this Reminiscence healing and deliverance. Okay, once again, it's huge choice of words used out. We are sensitive in In the previous examples, we saw we have to be in tune With what the father is doing and what he wants to do All right So another word here is simply being that we need to be sensitive to the flowing of the spirit of God Okay to what he wants to do so Recognize the importance of those whom God has specially called and anointed in certain areas. Okay An example mentioned here is we know that God has anointed Healing evangelists and workers of miracles We know that there are certain people anointed to minister in certain ways and for specific kinds of needs as well Okay We are also sensitive to the spiritual atmosphere that is conducive to the flow of the anointing We know that there is a lot of prayer intense worship great faith and high level of expectancy We have spiritual environment. Okay, most conducive to the flow of God's anointing for healings and miracles to happen Hence we try to create the right spiritual atmosphere for the flow of anointing. Okay, so what is it all talking about? So when you're in church or a miracle crusade or healing crusade or healing meeting, etc. etc The kind of again to this act of worship we sing songs we worship God we invite his presence Right, we ask for his presence for his kingdom to come and invade our realm For him to come and do what he does best for the Holy Spirit to flow Right, and so during the tours ministry time at APC, you know after the word is being preached Pastor invites the worship team back on stage To lead into a time of worship and then we start ministering and releasing the word of knowledge towards of knowledge and releasing prophetic calling out You know declaring healing and calling on sicknesses and declaring healing over people So all of that is we are moving in tune with the Holy Spirit Right, we ask for the Holy Spirit to fill us in in private right in our In a quiet time, you know, we lock the door. We pray we seek and we ask him For his anointing to increase in our lives more often we develop that intimacy And then even when we come together as a corporate Right, okay, we have You know when we come together we have a worship team for leaders in the time of worship Kind of sits the tone Brings changes the atmosphere we ask for God's holy presence to come and change Change lights Right, that's the idea. That's that's the norm Okay However Say, you know when you're at your workplace Wherever that is you don't have the worship team with you all the time Right, what what are you going to do at that time? You know, I don't have a bluetooth speaker to play Worship songs and create the tone and whatnot Now we look at the exceptions okay so What we have described about what is described about is the norm But we must learn to desire for more of his anointing And help create a spiritual environment Right, it's so important. Isn't it like the spiritual atmosphere the spiritual environment, right? Jesus recognized the unbelief in the atmosphere of the town Right, the spiritual environment was the tomb was not right in Nazareth. Oh, you know, very very he could not perform Uh, you know healings and miracles because of their unbelief So therefore we must learn to desire for more Of his anointing to help create a spiritual environment Okay, that will help the flow of God's anointing However, having said all of that there are exceptions to what we have just described There are times when God moves powerfully in the environment that we may consider hostile Okay to the flow of God's anointing when we do not feel very anointed ourselves There are times when God uses the one we least expect to work amazing miracles We work through someone we would not consider anointed Okay, this is big guys, okay He works through someone we do not consider anointed Or gifted to bring healing and deliverance Right, the Lord Jesus did not always have a great environment to minister under the anointing Often he was surrounded by the Pharisees, scribes, and Sadducees Many of them came questioning very ready to find fault and to argue with him But he still would go ahead and perform miracles. Okay, so how can we apply this? And some of the applications mentioned here is The anointed person or God anoints people to bring healing to the sick and oppressed We need to pray for more power more compassion and more humility And we must come into a place of greater anointing we seek him we grow More anointing Okay, and the unrecognized persons and then there are times that God can And will use people whom we may not we may not consider as anointed They simply minister in his name Based on his word and faith in his word Okay They simply minister in his name Based on his word and faith in his word. Okay, so that's Uh, that's what we are all called to do, right? Remember guys that from the beginning we've stated that Every believer Can minister in divine healing? Okay, every believer can minister in divine healing because that authority has been given to us, right? Recently we've been doing the series on The authority that every believer has been given To and we've been given that authority in the name of Jesus All right, uh, when you look at The Acts chapter nine acts chapter nine verse five Jesus says, uh, you know He's telling Ananias the context there is Paul is in count of Jesus, uh, you know and on the road to Damascus He's blind and then while he while Paul is in in a house Jesus is telling Ananias I want you to go and meet Paul For he is my chosen vessel To bear my name Right to bear my name and and so And we are all his chosen vessels to who bear his name Right, uh, I mean just I think about Every brand that is out there right a brand of cars or Or clothing brands or et cetera et cetera, right? All of them in the world there's one thing in common what they want you to do is They want you to bear their name And they want you to show that their brand name like Nike or Reebok Et cetera et cetera Right, so there's a and then there's a certain thing, uh The level in society that is associated with the name That's given to the plant, isn't it? And we must we must come into that realization that you know as ministers of God as believers We've been given that you know, um, his name Right, and so we function out of On the place of that authority based on his word and faith in his words, right? And point three there says feeling the anointing There are times when we can have tangible feeling of the anointing And then there are times we do not feel anything Whether there is feeling or no feeling we minister by faith Okay, whether there is feeling or no feeling we minister by Faith, okay feelings is deceptive. I mean we are we are emotional beings feelings that are associated with everything that we do We associated with everything when it comes to ministry and whatnot even the worship, right? We use that word feel so much. I don't really feel like worshiping. I I don't I just don't I'm not feeling it I'm not feeling it. I'm not feeling it Uh, and sometimes we get like too much based on our feelings, isn't it? Um, but what we are encouraged here at this point is that whether you feel or don't feel um minister by faith This faith is not associated with your feeling Right and the environment as mentioned there are times when we think the environment is conducive for God to manifest his presence But then there will always be a place. You're not always going to have that environment. Okay, you're not Always going to have that moment, you know Benny him with the choir singing hallelujah, you know You are great. You're not going to have a four thousand people choir members just backing you up and create the conducive environment It's not always going to happen. You might be surrounded with Just not in the right place because you get what I'm trying to say, right? But you step out Because of the authority that you're carrying and the name that you are carrying and you work and minister by faith Right Okay, cool. So I hope you are with me. Um, so now we move on to the next um The principle which is the issue of sin and salvation the issue of sin and salvation So I have to paraphrase this section this principle There are two ways that jesus functions here, okay First he heals and then he addresses the sin In some cases that he addresses the sin and then he heals Okay happens in both cases. So here we see an example um Every person jesus ministered to before the cross was unsafe Okay, um, so there is this one incident where jesus dealt with sin first and then healed afterwards Example the healing of the paralytic So where he says son your sins are forgiven you And then says arise take up your bed and go to your house Okay, so he addressed the sin And then he declares healing he performed healing Okay, and then there are other instances where jesus heals first and then afterwards dealt with the issue of sin and salvation Right in john 514 jesus said see you have been made well You have been made well means a healing has been performed Sin no more Let's a worse thing come upon you Okay, uh, and another instance that i'm i'm remember also women caught in the act of adultery Uh, you know When when everybody else puts their stone down and he bends down he asks okay, does anyone criticize you or ridicule you? Uh, he says no, so then he says okay. I do not so do You know go and sin no more You know, so he he once again expressed the love of the father in that instance you know so Um So we do not see jesus in every situation attributing sickness To some personal sin in individual's life or in his ancestry Okay, the one recorded case where his disciples asked him about this was in john 9 About regarding the blind where they asked him by why is uh, who's sin? Is it his parents a sin or is it this man's sin that he is born blind? And jesus simply replies that neither this man nor his parents sin Whether the works of god should be repeated Okay, um So the title of this principle is the issue of sin and salvation and how can how can we apply this administering divine healing? I says we should not attribute every sickness to some sin in the individual's life uh, okay, we've got to Just be aware be careful and how we go about uh, you know administering in this case There are times when god heals even before the issue of sin and salvation has been dead As mentioned here And there may be times when god will specifically lead you to deal with the issue of sin And salvation first before healing can manifest All right, and if god heals Before the sin has been dealt with reach out to see the person experience the greatest of all miracles The experience of salvation Okay, look at this point where I'm really clearly with me guys If god heals Before the sin has been dealt with Reach out to see the person experience the greatest of all miracles Right, and how many times has this uh, and I've seen it happen in my personal life And I'm pretty certain that most of us have seen this too at least with You know, but there were days, uh, where there's so many healing crusades have been used to happen at least in my city Uh in banglore the you know all these evangelists from all over india and the world would come and have these healing crusades, you know Etc etc and so many people from different backgrounds of faith would come And they would be healed And then they would go on to encounter, you know an experience of salvation Right, uh, and I and that that's amazing, isn't it and um, and so both has happened and uh And so this is one of the principles Okay, so the issue of sin and salvation is another key thing when we are ministering uh healing and deliverance So that's five principles that we've covered So far and we have two more to cover so and I hope you're going to follow me and And since we've been talking their faith and I'm going to believe in my faith that everybody is listening and not sleeping Okay, so, uh What's the title of this uh of this chapter? Learning to minister divine healing and deliverance From jesus, right? Yeah Okay, so uh the the sixth principle we will learn is the methods Jesus used the methods jesus used so Uh, there was no specific process or method jesus used to minister healing and deliverance He just did what he saw the father do Right, uh, so look at some of the methods that he uh, he used laying on of the hands The word of command laying on of hands. That's the word of command See people touched him, right? Uh, as he was passing by uh, we know the issue of blood Touched the hem of his garment Right and power went out of him the word says and healed her Right, he had people act in faith go wash in the pool rise up, you know Take a map and walk and so on so he would release again the word of command And he would have them act in faith Um unusual methods here spit clay finger in years Touch the tongue and all of those references you can read about them and in the scriptures mentioned in the notes Uh, he healed from a distance. He just released a word, uh, right your faith He declared the work has uh work has done and told the person to go in faith He sent his disciples to anoint with oil etc etc and all of these methods Uh, I'm I'm guessing like And everything that he did it was the first time people have ever seen someone do something with Right, um I just think if it was the first time that Jesus made something out of clay That must be the first time, you know Someone someone doing something like that a performing healing. So Jesus was like a trailblazer sitting the train you know, um but As we've learned from the very beginning that it is not the process on methods that it is in the person Of jesus, right? So these are the methods what jesus used and we'll see some of the applications of it It says we recognize and equip ourselves in the most common ways to minister healing and deliverance Okay, we recognize and equip ourselves in the most common ways to minister healing and deliverance When we minister we use any one of the common ways available to us Okay, however We remain sensitive to the lord's guidance by his holy spirit and to do things differently when he guides us to do so Okay, being sensitive is key guys, uh, you know In ministering healing and deliverance being sensitive to what the lord wants to do is so so key and being obedient And acting on that is key as well. So we do not focus on any one method or process But we remember that healing and deliverance Comes from the lord and not because of the method or process that is used in minister Okay, we teach people not to focus on the method or process But on the person of the lord jesus christ because he Is our healer. Okay, and we must be careful not to make an idle out of the method of process um We got to be sensitive and in that case as well Okay, so that our focus is that we realize that jesus is our healer Right, but lay hands and pray for people It's all good. We can't let one method or one process We cannot get fixated on that one thing and say, okay, this is how god's gonna You know minister healing and that's uh, but eventually becomes idolatry Okay, and and I have I've heard stories of people where um You know crazy things that god would ask ask a person this is one instance where You know a person was led to pray for a couple And what the lord was asking her to do was crazy she's like She was like, okay, how am I going to do this? Should I even do this? This is really god So she takes this couple to a private room That's a great room where it's just the couple and her And so the thing what the lord had asked her to do was to take a glass of water and sprinkle water over them Sounds crazy, right? Imagine her, you know, this is what she was sensitive This is what she was hearing the the lord tell her to do and so she takes this glass of water She says, you know what I'm just being obedient here. I know this is crazy It's not me. So she sprinkled the glass of water and so as I actually did that as she was obedient The couples start reaching and and so long story short There's been a lot of challenges and difficulties that the couple have been going through but when that act When that, you know, after faith was demonstrated There was a sense of freedom that they experienced and they were weeping and weeping and weeping So does that mean she keeps throwing a glass of water on everybody from there on? No, right? She was sensitive to what the lord told her to do that moment And she was obedient and active exercise faith Remember faith is felt as a risk I think that's the risk she took Well, if nothing happened, they were wet They got to go and change. What's the worst thing that can happen? Go and change a set of clothes Yeah, so that's that's related to methods Jesus used okay, and now coming to the final principle Is the nature of supernatural healing the nature of supernatural Whenever Jesus ministered healing and deliverance We noticed that the miracles were There were immediate Okay, the miracles took place right then and there They were complete means the individual was completely healed and delivered It was verifiable as people could check and see that the miracle was genuine and then finally Everything that Jesus did all the miracles that he performed glorified God and not man the focus was on God Okay So in conclusion says this is our standard that we must attain to that we must press into Okay We realize that when we minister we do not always see such results Okay, however, we must press in to see the same right just because we pray Once and if you don't see that happen Don't let yourself be discouraged Okay, keep pressing in keep pressing keep pressing in Until you just begin to start seeing Things happen Okay, Bill Johnson says this best he says you pursue the supernatural until the supernatural starts pursuing you Okay, I don't know how he comes with that So those are the seven principles right what we've learned That the norms that God expects us to you know function through he wants to partner with us because we've been we are in of this Co-mission with and we call co-laboring with him As we minister healing and deliverance, but then there are also exceptions where he steps in You know in his sovereignty And even in that he expects us to be sensitive Right, God wants to come and move and if we are not sensitive to the leading of his voice The God will still move because he is God and he is compassionate and he is loving and he loves his people The view that just lost that opportunity for God to use us right So being Having that hunger the desire and the thirst To increase in the anointing to for wanting that more of God because there is more Availability for you and I right there's always more available for you and I To walk like Jesus walked in the power of the Holy Spirit to walk in obedience All of it we need to hunger and desire Right everything that we spoke about passion and compassion With that zeal with the sincerity of the law suffering Even when you don't feel like you press in You know until you see Things begin to happen We need to be encouraged and motivated to see things happen in our lives. Okay All right, so that is the conclusion of chapter four So I I'll do it all right all right, let's You know go into chapter five and see how much we can cover Um chapter five today Okay, so chapter four was all about learning to minister healing and deliverance from Jesus Then in this chapter we see the secret to ministry as demonstrated by Jesus Okay, the secret to ministry as demonstrated by Jesus Um, we probably just focus on one key point and if time permits, we will see how this goes. Okay, so just hang with me So there are four important keys or secrets to ministry as the law Jesus demonstrated it. Okay, so four key principles Ways in how Jesus functioned first one ministering out of the intimacy and obedience ministering based on the finished work of the cross ministering from a place of dominion and authority and ministering through the presence and the power of the spirit okay So the first one here talking about Jesus demonstrated in what in his ministry is ministering out of intimacy and obedience Okay, uh in chapter three, we see that uh Jesus's love for his father Uh, you know that how he was only moved with one vision one mission that he came to do the works of the father Right everything he did and said was in line with what the father wanted him to do and say Right, so Jesus walked in a place of close fellowship with the father He also walked in complete obedience to the father He did what he saw the father do and taught what he learned from the father Okay, uh, if you remember from praise and worship class last last semester, we spoke uh, and we spoke on this word intimacy We broke it down, right into When you break that word down it simply means into me You see Because I show you right into me you see Right into me. So the intimate relationship that Jesus had with the father Right when when Jesus is saying I only do what I've seen the father do is because he was in that intimate relationship The father is showing him Because of that intimate relationship Jesus was able to see what the father was showing him and therefore He was able to go ahead and do What he saw the father do And say what he's heard the father said, right? He walked in the intimate relationship with the father and he also walked in obedience Right intimacy Is developed through spending time along with him In his presence in worship and prayer We grow in intimacy as we let his word fill us and rule every sphere of our life And we again saw Jesus model this isn't it this? um You know, how many times do we read in the gospels that he would Cut out, you know separate himself disconnect himself from the crowd And he will go and pray all night be alone with the father pray early in the morning before the dawn before the sun Right as he would wake up and go and seek He's the son of god And if he felt the need to develop his intimacy with his father, how much more should we Isn't Okay, so intimacy is developed spending time in his presence worship in worship and in prayer and And let his word Fill us reading his word, etc. Etc. Okay As his true obedience is an expression of intimacy That is the result of intimacy. What is the fruit of intimacy is obedience? Okay, true obedience is an expression of intimacy It says if you love me keep my commandments John 15 14 says you are my friends if you do whatever I command you And so obedience is an expression of our relationship with him We love him. We are his friends. Hence. We obey him Okay um This is very interesting quote, uh from john g lake says Healing is basically a spiritual thing The power that heals the sick Comes from god down through your spirit Out through your hands Into that man or woman If you are having the right kind of spiritual fellowship You will have power with god And there is no escaping it Okay, and if you remember again once again in the previous chapters we see that The equation is never wrong at his end Right, the equation is never wrong at his end. We know his will. We know he has the power to heal the sick Okay So we come back we rework out the equation as if we work we pursue him Right with the hunger and intense desire for his presence We pray we seek him We ask him to move through us to use us as his vessels to minister healing and deliverance Okay, this is uh This is true that when we are in right communion And fellowship with the lord There is not power enough in all hell To put disease upon our little finger Okay Wow, I mean if you learn anything about john g lake, uh, you should read his biography. Uh, it's just amazing. Amazing. Amazing. And, uh, in fact Uh, we'll just watch out your space watch out the space for the assignment And I just put it on the podium your final assignment and you'll see what this is based on the works of john g lake So Okay, so that's the uh That's the first key is we see that in jesus ministered out of intimacy and obedience. We saw the power of it And second we see ministering based that he ministered based on the finished work of the cross Okay, uh It says matthew 8 16 17 when evening had come they brought to him many who were demon possessed and he cast out the spirits with the word And healed all who were sick That it might be fulfilled with which was spoken by isaiah the prophet saying he himself took our infirmities and bore our sequences Right, so jesus ministered based on what he would accomplish on the cross Right, that's why you kind of sees and saw the season the teachers of the law Uh, you know, we get angry because every time jesus said your sins are forgiven Who is this man who forgives sins with what authority does he forgive sin? Who is he? To forgive sin that it was like a blasphemy for them, but then jesus knew already That the work that he would accomplish on the cross right And so what he did in the gospels before his actual death on the cross was a foretaste Of the benefits of his finished work on the cross So jesus ministered based on the finished work of the cross This is a scripture that says right in the revelations, I think right behold the land of what was slain before the foundations of the world Where the cross was just an expression of god's forgiveness and love For the world Right, so on the cross the sin was paid the sickness was removed and satan was defeated Guys guys guys i was only going to say church you know if we can just fathom And help and ask god for us to have this revelation of everything that was accomplished on the cross and if you have If you are able to just fathom I mean what we can achieve in our ministry To glorify god is will be unparalleled right because like on the cross as it says the sin was paid Sickness was removed and satan was defeated our enemy Our arch enemy who wants to kill and destroy and steal every ounce of joy out of our lives is defeated As i'm still sometimes we we are defeated by a defeated enemy because we don't have the understanding Or we've lost the significance of the power of the cross Right, so what is left is for us to receive it by faith and walk in it And the least to us to the next point Is that jesus ministered from a place of dominion and authority Right it will be functioned from a place of dominion and authority Right, uh, the the demons know who he was right there They were scared And we see that look 434 There they cried saying let us alone. What have we to do with you jesus of nazareth Did you come to destroy us? I know who you are the holy one of god And sometimes and most of the times we need to have the revelation What these demons have of jesus Right and then other scripture a loop 436 again very quickly after that it says What a word this is For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits And they came up Okay, everybody who saw who just witnessed what had happened. They were marveled and wondering What authority is this? Right For with authority he command and power he commands the unclean spirits And then you see the same kind of expression the disciples give him when he comes to stop Right on the boat. He is sleeping Everybody are scared to death And they wake up jesus up and ask this incredible question saying do you not care if you perish or if you die? it's an amazing question to ask God isn't it and And he just declares peace over the storm And everybody is like in awe and wonder is thinking What man is this like he who he commands even the storms And even the storms and the waves obey him Where he functioned from a place of dominion and authority right And similar we are called to function, uh, you know in the place of dominion authority as well as just mentioned Uh, you know, we are doing the series on believers authority in apc and One of the points that we covered, uh, the previous sunday was that We've all been delegated This authority Right, uh, we've been given you you and I have this authority To speak to the storm to bind and to lose The strongholds to pull down strongholds to break every chain in jesus name You and I have that authority. It's been given to us like in a in a golden plateau gift right and then finally We see that jesus ministered through the power and the presence of the holy spirit Like jesus operated with the power of the holy spirit in ministering healing and deliverance That he promised us the same power of the holy spirit to be his witness And the holy spirit is all powerful. He is our creator. He gives life It is the holy spirit that quickens us our mortal bodies And the power of the holy spirit flows through us to bring healing and deliverance Right And so if jesus walked in intimacy and in obedience And if jesus ministered from a place of finished work of the cross if jesus functioned with authority and dominion and if jesus Functioned and everything that he did by the power of the holy spirit And all of that has been made available for us how much more should we walk in intimacy? and in obedience with the lord With how much more should we understand the power of the cross for what it has accomplished for us? We are And we need to understand the power and the authority that's been given to us because of the cross And then the same holy spirit That worked through jesus christ the same holy spirit that raised jesus from the dead Is living inside of us Amen It all comes down to us for us to act in faith and exercise everything that we've been given In faith And so that is how We will continue to minister divine healing With that we will end today's session I hope you guys are all still alive Okay So thank you for joining in guys I will see you all next week. Okay. Thank you. God bless you. Have a lovely day. Bye
