I surrender my tongue my knowledge my intellect for you God I in everything we give you glory and honor in Jesus. Name me pray. Amen Amen. Awesome. Hi Karen. Good to see you. Happy new year to you, too. Okay, so One of the things for those online. I've already shared the PDF of ministering divine healing And for those of you here Please make sure you get a copy of this book called ministering divine healing, okay If you haven't gotten yet We'll make sure that you get it, okay But until then I can also share the soft copy with you once this hour is done, okay Yeah, but until then just follow along with me So We're gonna talk about Ministering healing and you know a deliverance as we all mentioned So why is this important is simply because this is how Jesus went about doing his Ministry right and everything that he did right. He preached the gospel. He preached the good news But having doing that he was also He was also Healing people are you sure Jesus healed people You think so? Okay, we'll divide the class will have a debate about it. Yeah So that's what Jesus did and we're going to be reading a lot of scriptures And so I would encourage you to just keep that in handy But this is what he did and everything that Jesus did right? He preached he preached in the synagogues He talked about the kingdom of God at the same time he healed people Right and we're going to read a lot of scriptures about it and I'm sure that's going to encourage us to you know, just have that That kind of compassion or interest in ministry for people To see them, you know set free and whatnot. Okay, so that's the first thing Is that we are going to learn to do evangelism the Jesus way? Okay We are going to learn to do evangelism Jesus way right and how he did okay, and the second point is Every believer can do this That is the second point right every believer can do this Every single person in this room Can do this right everyone who's online right? This is what the scripture I'm not saying this the Bible says that okay that every believer can minister in divine healing and Deliverance, okay, that means you you you all of you. Amen. Isn't that awesome, right? It's and we'll touch about this in a more elaborate way in in the chapters to come but The healing ministry You know sometimes we don't approach it because we think okay, it's only for a certain few people that we don't you know But I can tell you that I have used the sentence Saying I will pray for you So much from 2020 to 2021 Right because we all went through the pandemic, isn't it and so many of our friends and and our loved ones were You know we're stuck with COVID and we I kept saying is like hey, we'll pray for you We'll pray for your family. We pray for you. We pray for your healing, isn't it? And so it's that means it's simply to point out to say that every believer Can do this Has to do this right say I can do this Say I can do this one more time Okay, now turn to the person next to you and say you can do this Vimal is like yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I Don't care if you can do this, but I'm gonna do it You Can do this right, so Learning to do evangelism the Jesus way That's one and then every believer can do this is kind of the fundamental of what this course is all about, right? and and another point to keep this in mind is As we learn about healing and deliverance and whatnot Healing and deliverance is not in the method or a process Okay, healing and deliverance is not in a Method or process. What do I mean by that? Okay? Only if I keep my hand on you and pray for you, you will be healed That's a method, isn't it or if I throw my kerchief on you, you'll be healed All of that is a method, isn't it right? So Your healing or ministering healing and deliverance is not based on a method or a process but it is from the person of Jesus Christ, right? It is he is the healer. He is the one who heals I am not going to put Jesus in a box and say, okay, this is how Jesus functions. This is how Jesus heals You with me, right? So healing and deliverance is not a particular process But it is in the person of Jesus Christ. Did everybody get that? Okay, it's a core foundation This is where a lot of us can go wrong Okay, thinking, okay, it's in them. It's in the method And not in the person of Jesus. Okay, so that's the core fundamental. Okay Um Is healing and deliverance important? Is miracles healing and deliverance? Is it important? Okay, guys online. What do you think? Karen Nina, do you think miracle healings and deliverance is that important? Why is it important? You know, the next question was going to be why, you know, by now you should be used to me Why is it important? Okay, see here's the thing. We're going to use a few words like new birth Healing deliverance supernatural science and wonders Okay, did I go too fast healing deliverance Science and wonders new birth All of this simply means ministering healing and deliverance. Okay So why is it important? It's a sign It's a sign to unbelievable. Okay Why is it important? You understood my question, right? Why is ministering or why is miracles healing and deliverance? Why is it important? That's what Jesus told us to do. Okay Okay, judgment says it shows compassion of God to others. Yep It shows the power of God. Okay Sorry Nina Okay, so Jesus is living God what he did We are also called to do okay But why is it important? Okay, so now we are living in a day and age Where there's a huge advancement in a medical field, isn't it? Like science and technology is advanced Isn't it? And so in a day and age like that When someone says okay, miracle science and wonders why is it important? Don't we have this thing? What would you say? Yeah, we have the x-ray machine. We have the this machine. We have that machine. Why do we need to know? sorry Yeah, so Science and technology had has advanced but it does not know everything, right? It can't It can't explain a lot of things still isn't it and I'm sure it won't in a hundred years from now as well Isn't it and there's still there are people? I mean if if science and technology could answer everything I mean, we are grateful for them. Isn't it? We are grateful for our doctors We are grateful for our frontline supporters who helped us in you know during the pandemic and whatnot So we you know, we must be very grateful and thankful to all of them. But having said that There are still people who are hurting right and there are still people who need to experience that raw touch of jesus Isn't it? Yes or no And so that's Basically the reason why miracles healings and deliverance are important Um jackman also saying a total healing comes from god. Amen. Yeah Jesus is our divine healer. What man cannot do he can do it In and through us. Yes Right where man ends god begins Amen right, so let's look at a few Biblical reasons why we must minister supernatural healing and deliverance Okay, we're going to look at some biblical reasons as to Why we must minister in Uh In supernatural healing and deliverance. There are going to be eight reasons Okay, uh, the first reason Is miracles healing and deliverance reveal the reality and nature of god Okay, the first reason why it's important is Healing miracle and deliverance. They reveal The nature of god Okay, uh reveal means what? To show right reveal or revelation revelation comes from the word revealed or another word for revelation is unveil Right, so, you know, you we see uh, we sometimes wear this I mean some women wear the shawl and they cover their faces and all right So what's that they're covering their face with a veil, isn't it? I mean they remove it What is it called unveiling unveiling is another word for revealing reveal a revelation, right? So when we minister when you And I minister and healing and deliverance what we are doing or what is happening is that there is a revelation Of who this god is It's revealing the nature of god. What is it saying? He's saying hey, there is a god Who wants to see you? well Who wants to see you? Whole isn't it? So let's um Look at exodus chapter 15 verse 26. Okay, you can turn in your bibles in your iPhones on your androids Exodus chapter 15 verse 26 Yeah, I said the phones because you can navigate because we're going to read a lot of scriptures guys You guys doing okay Yes It's too early to ask that question just five minutes into the class Okay, exodus chapter 15 verse 26 It says if you diligently heed the voice of the lord Your god and do what is right in his sight give your to his commandments and keep all his statues I will put none of the disease on you which I have brought on the egyptians for I am the lord Who heals you? I am the lord who Heals you okay, so right there is like a covenant Name right the jihua rafa right he is a healer Right and another scripture. I'll just read it for us. Don't worry about it Exodus chapter 23 verse 25 and 26 Exodus 23 verse 25 and 26 it says so you shall serve the lord your god And he will bless your bread and your water And I will take sickness away from the midst of you Okay, I'm in exodus chapter 23 verse 25 and 26 Verse 26 it says no one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land I will fulfill the number of your days. I will fulfill the number of your days. Okay Okay, just think about it. Okay. It's we read exodus. I hope you've read the book of exodus We know the story of exodus Um, they were living In a supernatural culture if you have to say right times of science and wonders like they saw Rock splitting and water coming from it bitter waters being Changed to a sweet waters right see being parted right a bread coming from heaven Quail coming and falling down right and then this is so much more isn't it? um And through that entire period imagine a people say three million that's just men It could be over six million and above isn't it? And none of them had had sickness And how god sustained them right and so what is it? What is it again doing is it's just revealing the nature of god and then he's saying okay He's a healer. He wants his children to be the way he designed Originally right another beautiful verse from some can someone read some hundred and Uh three verse three Some hundred and three verse three. I think Thank you. Right. So who forgives all your inequities and And heals all your diseases Amen Uh, so yeah, uh, it's it's revealing the nature of god that he wants to heal And this is one point you will be hearing time after time after time after time again Okay, that he is a god who heals he wants to heal and hence he wants you to uh minister Okay, uh, let's move on To the second point, okay, so what's the first point again? miracles healings It reveals the nature of god. Okay second It reveals god's greatness Okay, the second point it revealed miracles reveal god's greatness Okay, and john chapter two verse 11 Let's read john chapter two. I'll read it for us. You can just make a note of it John chapter two verse 11 This beginning of science Jesus did in canna of galilee And manifested his glory And his disciples believed in him Okay manifested Means it's an expression Right. He manifested his glory and then his disciples believed in him Okay, so the second point is very simple miracles reveal god's greatness. Okay, and the third point Miracles demonstrate god's compassion Okay, miracles demonstrate gods compassion, right In psalm 145 Verse eight and nine psalm 145 Verse eight and nine it says the lord is gracious and Full of compassion Okay, you can turn to it if you want to but it's psalm 145 verse eight and nine It's so beautiful. It says the lord is gracious Okay, another another translation says graceful Graceful right anytime you see this word we've spoken about this if it ends with full I say graceful that means he is Full of grace right when we say he is wonderful It means he is Full of wonder right when you say he's full is beautiful Right, he is full of beauty. Amen. Hey, let me say he is merciful He is full of mercy, right? And so here it says god is gracious is graceful and full of compassion There's no word called compassion full. So that's why he explains full of compassion Uh Slow to anger and great in mercy The lord is good to some The lord is good only to bible college students The lord is good to those who don't sleep in class. Sorry I had to say that guys, uh my apologies You see now everyone's awake Um Oh gosh, I forgot to get my water bottle. Okay The lord is good to Everybody say all guys The lord is good to All okay, and his tender mercies are over all his works, right? That's um, beautiful Can everybody say amen? Amen. Amen. God is so good, isn't he right? And time and time again in the gospels we see that every time jesus went on about his ministry We use this we see this word called compassion, right? Let's go to matthew chapter 14 verse 14 Matthew 14 14 easy to remember Matthew 14 14 Okay, and with another finger go, you know, keep that page and go to matthew 15 verse 32 And then with another finger go to matthew chapter 20 verse 34 Okay, so matthew 14 14 matthew 15 32 Matthew 15 32 and then matthew chapter 20 verse 34 Okay, and there's more but yeah All right Matthew 14 14 it says and when jesus went out he saw a great multitude And he was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick Okay, one of the things that I found interesting when reading through the gospels, okay, uh, it might be different in your bibles, but I don't see jesus praying for the sick. He only heals the sick And even when jesus commanded us to heal the sick, he didn't say pray for the sick So what i'm trying to say is there is a place Of power and authority that jesus moved and jesus is calling us. He's like, hey, there is a place in me Where you don't have to pray for the sick anymore. You'll only have to heal them And it is in that power and authority jesus functioned Are you with me? Right and so okay you here we see that he was moved with compassion and matthew 15 32 It says now jesus called his disciples to himself And said I have compassion on the multitude Because they have now continued with me three days and have nothing to eat Okay, next another chapter matthew 20 verse 34. So jesus had compassion And touched their eyes Okay, some more Uh, now i'm you can just write this down Mark chapter one was 41 Mark chapter one was 41. It says then jesus moved with compassion He stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him I am willing Be cleansed I am Willing be cleansed. That's mark chapter one verse 41. Jesus was moved with compassion mark chapter five Verse 19 mark chapter five verse 19 Says jesus did not permit him but said to him Go home to your friends and tell them what great things the lord has done for you and how he has had compassion on you Okay, um another scripture. This is just for you to read luke chapter seven was 13 to 15 Luke chapter seven was 13 to 15 Okay, that's for you to read. So Let's just pause here for a second. Okay. So the foundation you know of way we should be doing is Is our hearts need to be filled with compassion for for the loss for the sick Amen for the oppressed and uh, it's We should never function or we should never go and you know and want to Minister healing and deliverance to make a name for ourselves Right. Uh, okay. Let them know that I am the preacher Let me go ahead and do that right and that's such an uh, uh, a very sick motive or an intention to have isn't it your heart Should be moved with compassion and you need to ask yourself Am I moving? Am I ministering out of compassion for this people? Whoever it is wherever god may place you after you graduate and go from here Right, it could be to your own cities to your homelands Wherever and I think this is a beautiful question to ask yourself. It's like a heart check Right, uh, like we have all these tests nowadays, right that liver check cholesterol check Full body check up 999 rupees Right, it it checks our sugar level bb level and all of that One of the questions that will check your heart and we'll keep it in the right track is Am I moving out of compassion? Am I doing this out of my love for him? Or not what he can do for me? Right, it's a beautiful question to ask yourself and it keeps your heart in the right alignment Amen. Are you guys with me? Right. So the third point why miracles healing and deliverance is important is because it displays God's compassion. Are you with me guys? Okay fourth one Miracles they have a powerful effect on people Right, especially on those who do not believe Okay miracles have a powerful effect on people Especially on those who do not believe Okay miracles gets people's attention Okay miracles get people's attention. It's I mean, this is not a very good example, but it's uh I think it happens in India or in Bangalore at least and there's an accident or somewhere you see is like Everybody stops, you know, it's like what happened. You know, there's like like a mob that You know, it's like what happens Uh So it grabs it there was a noise there was something and then it got everybody's attention and everybody wants to go see What happened? And we see that in the life of jesus Isn't it so he healed someone Without a poster being stuck on every wall Saying okay the festival of healing Or no pr team Okay, no major flex banners no fancy sound systems people followed him Into the wilderness And to the into the unknown And what not why because it got their attention Right, they wanted to go see what is he all about? Amen, right? So miracles get people's attention um You can get attention of the good people. It got the attention of the bad people also But they get people's attention. That's the point. Okay The sub point there is miracles they act as a signpost to god Okay, it's a very important point guys It's very these are all very simple basic elementary level points But it's just so fundamental to our ministry Right Miracles are a signpost. What's a signpost? It shows direction. Okay Bangalore to Hyderabad 350 kilometers more go this way straight or take left, isn't it? That's a signpost. Yeah We're going on a highway. Okay. Your favorite restaurant is 30 kilometers away Nobody stops at that science post and says like wow, what a beautiful biryani No, it's just a signpost, isn't it If someone does that and then something is uh Something is uh, not right. Nobody stops at a signpost and says I have arrived, isn't it? Yes or no We don't stop. I you guys understand what I'm saying, right? We don't stop at a signpost that says, okay 500 kilometers to Pune I am at Pune. We don't say that Yep, so that's what miracles are miracles are a signpost that points to Jesus amen, uh this Moses prays a most beautiful prayer in Exodus chapter 33. Uh, it says if I have found favor in your eyes Show me your ways Okay, if I have found favor in your eyes show me your ways That I may know you Are you with me? So moses prayed that and in psalm 103 somewhere. I forget the exact verse it says God showed His acts his actions his deeds to the people of israel, but he showed his ways to moses It's there in psalm 103 somewhere. Okay Yeah It says god showed in other words god revealed His deeds his actions his miracles. What are the miracles like what we just discussed, right? He split the rock water came Bread came from heaven Quail came from heaven, right everything so all of those are actions deeds So psalm says God showed his miracles to the people of israel But he showed his ways to moses So that means there is something more to this god Than the miracles that he does But miracles are important Right. So what's the point there miracles are a signpost to point people to jesus right And if the signpost is pointing to you to your ministry to your banner Something is wrong Isn't it? Right. Are you with me? So miracles have an effect a powerful effect on people especially on those who do not believe as well, okay Um, let's move on. Um The fifth point is Jesus gave importance to miracles Jesus gave importance To miracles, okay, so it says here. Let's go to john chapter 20 very quickly john chapter 20 Was 30 and 31 John chapter 20 verse 30 and 31 it says and truly jesus did many other signs In the presence of his disciples Which are not Written in this book But these are written that you may believe That jesus is the christ the son of god And that believing you may have life in his name Amen, so these are written that you may believe that jesus is the christ the son of god that believing you may have life in his name Let's go to the next chapter john chapter 21 verse 25 John chapter 21 was 25. It says and there are also other things that jesus did Which if they were written one by one I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books That that would be written Wow Okay so Here are some more examples that the importance that jesus gave for miracles, okay In john chapter 5 was 31 to 36 John chapter 5 was 31 to 36. What is the context here? You know john the baptist is asking okay He's telling his disciples go and ask him is he really the christ Do you remember the scenario? right John the baptist is in prison. He asks his disciples to go and ask jesus. Is he really the christ? And so jesus's response is mentioned. What does jesus say? Go and tell him What do you see what is he The blind see the deaf hear the lame and are walking Isn't it and so jesus is using the miracles the healing and deliverance of what was happening As a sign to go and tell john like hey, this is the answer to your question And in that you should know that i am the anointed one that that is the christ. Yeah Let's read so when let's go to john chapter 10 guys I want someone to read john chapter 10 There are four verses that I want you to read. Okay someone loud and clear john chapter 10 was 24 and 25 And 37 and 38 Okay loud and clear someone please Okay, so that's worse 24 and 25 Yeah, okay, so the the teachers of the law are asking okay. Hey you listen We don't have time for all these puzzles and all of that if you're the christ just plainly black or white. Yes or no So what is jesus's response there on end? What was worse 25 say? sorry All the works I do in in the father's name. Okay, so what were the works? Say properly dad Okay, uh was 37 and 38 someone please 37 and 38 So 37 39 says do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father Jesus So look at the weight that jesus is putting on on the works that he is doing He's saying don't believe me unless I do the works of My father. He's not even saying my works I mean this That's a short verse isn't it 37 it's relatively a short verse But there's so much to unpack there. I'm the humility of jesus right there is he's a son of god Right, he can say it's my works and whatnot, but then he's saying Don't believe me unless I do the works of My father right i'm just reminded of the beautiful passage in philippines chapter 2 where he it says he emptied himself Right he emptied himself. He um and then verse 38. Let's go on it says but if I do them That's a big Right, but if I do them Even though you do not believe me Believe the works Wow That you may know and understand That the father is in me and I in the father right, um, so It's statements like this that made you know the pharisees and the sadducees wanted to kill jesus Right it in their culture right in their culture. Nobody spoke like this um, so one of the classic questions that our muslim friends ask us is Uh, where did jesus say that he is god? He is the son of god in those words But in those days in their culture, they always spoke like this in in riddles Right and if especially if jesus was quoting a scripture Right, it's called biblical alteration is if if jesus was quoting a scripture from the old testament He was not he was telling okay Everybody in the classroom was smart enough to understand that okay He is not exactly telling talking about that verse He's talking about the verse before and after Are you with me and so he always spoke, you know in in that kind of a language because that's how people spoke back then Uh, you know, it's nobody was spoon fed Right and so in saying that jesus is you're just making a heavy statement That says if i do them even though you do not believe me believe the works That you may know and understand that the father is in me and i am the father Amen, so jesus gave a huge importance to the miracles And so when you and i function and minister in healing and deliverance Uh Once again, we are just going back to that first point. We are revealing the nature of god We are doing the works of the father and in doing that we are in the father and he is in us Are you with me? Are you with me? Yeah, awesome. Okay the sixth point we just do two more points and we'll conclude for this session. Okay Miracles healing and deliverance Releases the kingdom of god in our midst. Okay A very famous message during the time of jesus and john the baptist was what Five point message and how to overcome depression Was it that what was ah, thank you repent for the Kingdom of god is near or at hand right that one point message or two lines message. That's it Repent for the kingdom of god is at hand. It was all about the kingdom of god, right? Okay students students. Okay, didn't sound right All right guys so Like it or not Or believe it or not you and i Okay, you and i We are born into spiritual warfare Understood You two you're very relaxed Like, oh, yeah, it's warfare. It's like i it's just like, you know dosa and chutney for me is There is an enemy that wants to Steal kill and destroy There is an enemy who hates you so much That he just doesn't want to steal your joy. He just doesn't want to steal your happiness He wants to kill you. He just doesn't want to kill you He wants to destroy you. He wants to make it look like you never even existed Understood He wants to make it look like you never even existed That is how much the devil hates you and me You and i are born into spiritual warfare So there is two kingdoms the kingdom of god And the kingdom of darkness That is at war For your soul Are you with me right? And so when we declare that the kingdom of god is here And we are creating an atmosphere for so here's the thing kingdom everybody say kingdom Kingdom is two words King and dominion King and dominion right? So when king comes When the king comes king never comes alone. He always comes with his dominion Right and so in his kingdom. There is no shame. There is no pain. There are no tears Isn't it? There is no sickness. There is no Uh a shadow of turning in him. Isn't it? So that is the kingdom of god and that's how jesus taught his disciples to pray, isn't it? Let your kingdom come let your will be done there That is called heaven on earth guys. So, uh The kingdom comes with power the kingdom of god it comes with Power And the same authority has been given unto us for us to declare that You know to release the kingdom of god into this realm, right? And the last two points, uh very quickly is the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs and wonders We are not just called to preach the gospel Right the gospel that we are preached are supposed to be accompanied with signs and Wonders everybody say signs and wonders Say signs and wonders one more time Okay, so when when you want to preach the gospel wherever right whenever, right? Uh, it's supposed to be it's supposed to follow with signs and wonders and that's what we see in the ministry of jesus Very quickly. Let me read Um from john chapter 3 verse 1 and 2 i'm just going to read that for us John chapter 3 verse 1 and 2 it says there was a man of the Pharisees named nicodemus A ruler of the jews This man came to jesus by night and said to him rabbi I We know that you are a teacher Come from god Rabbi means teacher, isn't it that means jesus taught he preached then he says for no one can do these Signs that you do unless god is with him. So jesus taught But he just didn't teach He also performed signs wonders and miracles Amen And once you get these notes you can read the rest of the scriptures as well for us and the last point is Miracles encourage people to believe for more miracle helps And encourages people to believe for more of the supernatural Okay Just a couple of scriptures for you for you to make a note of matthew chapter 12 verse 15 Matthew 12 15 matthew 15 30 Matthew 19 verse 2 Luke chapter 5 verse 15 And finally luke chapter 9 verse 11 Luke chapter 5 verse 15 and luke chapter 9 verse 11 Okay, just one verse for us two verses matthew 15 30 it says then great multitudes came to him Having with them the lame blind mute maimed and many others And they laid them down at jesus's feet and he healed them Matthew chapter 19 verse 2 and great multitudes followed him and he healed them there Okay, you can read the other scriptures as well. So let me so let's just quickly Recap the all all the eight points. What we just did is we went through eight biblical reasons as to why miracle signs and wonders are important first one Miracles and healing reveal the nature of God It reveals God's greatness second point. It reveals and demonstrates God's compassion It has a powerful effect on people and the importance Jesus gave for miracles is 0.5 And kingdom comes with power and so we've been vested with that same kingdom power and authority Gospel is to be preached With accompanying signs and wonders and finally miracles encourage people to believe For more of the supernatural Amen More of the supernatural Amen So, uh, we'll pause here for this session. We'll take a break and uh, we'll continue. All right See you all
