I have uploaded the PDF of this book in the course material section Classroom section, I think yeah, but anyways did everyone Were you able to download the PDF of this book? Yeah, I hope you have it already just Okay, there are two yeses. I just want to make sure everybody has this PDF Because we will be using this book as a reference for the duration of this course. Okay Okay, if you haven't I'll give a minute To quickly go to the the classwork section. I've also it's in the mainstream section as well I've uploaded it in two places. So Sid got a hard copy, okay Yeah, I mean if you're in Bangalore If you can get your hands on the hard copy it's well and good too I'm a little bit old school. I like I like the hard copies So you can write mark whatever All right, okay Rosalind are you talking about the PDF? Okay, so In the stream section of the classwork classroom right in the main page itself You know where the stream section is right? So you have four tabs on top If you're in the classroom that you have the stream classwork people and marks, right? You can either click the stream section and come to the very bottom you see I would have uploaded the PDF With my long note Okay Okay See that's why it's crucial to make sure everybody is downloaded the PDF Welcome Rosalind. Okay. So let's go See this this course once again It's going to be a little bit like the gospel of mark full of action Like you know, that's what I mean. Okay. He's just kind of he's going to keep going You know, he's not interested in the genealogy of Jesus. Hey, what number Jesus came? He's the son of god boom boom boom, okay So it's kind of gonna be like that So as you know, if you have the hard copy, you know how big the book is So we have to keep things going, right? So let's get this started the introduction of it very simple You know if in page one if you just look at it, uh, just one The heart, uh, you know, although the the title of this book and the course, uh, it's it's about Uh, you know ministering divine healing Right, that's the topic. That's the main thing, right? The the theme or whatever Uh ministering divine healing and the title of this book says ministering healing and deliverance but the heart behind you know that whole subject is evangelism the jesus way Okay, evangelism the jesus way, right? So what is the most effective way to win souls and make disciples? What instructions did lord jesus give his disciples when he sent them out to impact the world? Right, uh, what do you do when you come down? Uh, just the next paragraph you see the gospels repeatedly described the ministry of jesus stating that He went about teaching preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people right he went about teaching preaching and uh healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people Okay, and then he commissioned them to preach saying the kingdom of god is at hand heal the sick cleanse the lepers raise the dead cast out demons freely you have received freely give okay, so the once again the heart of the subject is evangelism the jesus way Right, that that's that's the key point. Okay. We need to drive that home um, right and another key point is When we're going to be talking about the supernatural quite a quite a bit That's going to be that we're going to be using that word supernatural time and time again Okay, so another key point that we need to remember is that supernatural healing Is in the process is isn't the person and not in the process Okay, that we use so what do I mean by that? Russian, you know Supernatural healing is in the person and not in the process So there are different ways that we pray for the sick, right? We either we can either lay our hands on them and pray for them Oh, we we don't you know We might not decide to or choose to lay our hands on them and whatnot We might choose to use oil You know and just apply all them and pray if there are so many different process or methods that we can use that we have Used and Jesus himself has used right sometimes he He used the clay to heal a blind eye sometimes he spat on the mud He made something you know and then sometimes he just laid His hands on their eyes and sometimes he just said See now and they were healed so There's so many methods and processes, right that We can go about ministering healing and deliverance and the supernatural But what is the key point is the healing the supernatural healing is in the person of jesus christ If he is not the core if he is not The foundation of anything that you want to do and in our context the ministry of healing and deliverance Nothing we will do will matter If he is not the center, right you guys with me so far Right, so that so that's the second key point. So what's the first key point? The heart of this subject is evangelism the jesus way That's the core underlying subject of this whole topic of supernatural and then the next key point is The supernatural healing is in the person of jesus christ Are you guys with me? Okay, and then the third key point Very important key point is that Every believer Can do this Okay, with your mics muted Or in the chat section type and I can do this Okay, come on guys Be slightly excited awesome awesome Yes, yeah The heart uh This is uh This read john chapter 14 verse 12 quickly can summon read john chapter 14 verse 12 anyone John chapter 14 verse 12 I tell you the truth anyone who believes in me will do the same work I have done and even greater works Because I'm going to be with the father Oh, thanks. Yeah, right. Um, so it's uh Yeah, like as uh, you know, we see the last command there. It's through jesus christ who strengthens us You know who empowers us who equips us Uh, right, so we we are able to do this and he that's his heart Is that everyone who believes in him will be able to do what he did and much more greater things than what he has done Right, that's the heart of a father for us And so again, the third key point is just to reiterate is every believer can do this Right that that was the intention of jesus the lord jesus intended for Every person who believed in him to do the works he did and even greater works Right as we just read in in john chapter 14 verse 12, right? um So having mentioned these three points we come to another important question Okay, uh So why healing uh, you know miracles and deliverance Why healing miracles and deliverance? I just want to ask this question before we go ahead, right? now How many of us have a witnessed a miracle or a healing or a deliverance? How many of us how many of you? Okay, I see multiple hands going up chevina said, okay, so I totally If you have not witnessed you don't become an unbeliever. It's okay. It's just a question. Okay Right, um And I would like In order to hear from all of you is what was your I'm I want to go back more deeper into what your first Witness of a healing or of or of a deliverance, right? You must have seen a lot over the years you know, but I want to know what was your first reaction or what did you feel the first time you witnessed a miracle? A healing or a deliverance. What was it? What did you feel? What was going through your mind feel free to unmute and speak? broslyn go ahead. I mentioned the name broslyn. She left the meeting Uh, yeah, guys, it's what what did you feel? What was going through your yeah sit? Okay, go ahead We'll come to you jeffina Faster when I was like about to witness that healing if there was a doubt in my mind like can it happen Because it's not typically my witness, but it belongs to my grandfather He was having cancer and that was all the second last stage So everybody was praying in the church and our family was also reading Whatever we used to do we used to surround over grandfather and we used to study samson 91 91 times And after that about after his operation when this report came the doctor was out. There was no cancer And I was believing like how it can happen And we were praising God in different ways This was my first miracle I received Awesome. Thanks for sharing. That's it. Appreciate it. Amazing. Yeah, jeffina. We go ahead We have my very first witness was my mom, but I was actually very little at that time I was kind of doing my third grade or fourth grade. So I was very little But you know, uh, she was having thyroid But the doctor at the point said it was healed but still she was not healed on the inside and we were thinking about all of the different things what she could be going through and finally it was a curse and She used to speak in tongues and she used to Be like she's filled with sadness or something I don't know a lot of information about it. I was very little and I was afraid of seeing my mom and Every evening My mom's sister. She used to come and pray. So we hold hands together as a family and pray The only thing that I wanted was her to be healed And when I hear that the doctor can no longer do it somehow We always believe that god can do great things. So I was little but I still believe the god can do things So we kept praying and praying and finally she got healed and What I felt was I was happy at that time like I got my mom back That's the only thing that was on my mind like she's no longer going to struggle with anything So actually I was very happy. That's the only thing I didn't have any confusions or doubt because I was little. All that I wanted was healing. All that I wanted was my mom back and nothing else. So I was happy Thanks for sharing that jeffina Awesome. Anybody else? I want to hear from you guys. Yeah Yes, Ababa. Go ahead. The first witness Of divine healing, Akantha is My daughter My little daughter. She was a 5 years old then and her ass is swollen leg and the leg is paining her Seriously, it can't live. It took it. We took her to the hospital And they did some series of tests and they discovered that they don't discover anything I was disturbed and just recommend some drugs and we bought it And that's why that there's no changes And after our morning devotion one day, I just call her do your feet I ask her Do your feet that you just can heal you. Say yes, I have it that you pray for me And immediately I lay my hand upon the leg and I pray Say God You said your word is Send your word to this leg and heal it Uh every any sickness in this leg healing through your word and immediately I pray One thing I discovered that that my daughter Go along with me in faith and said immediately I pray finish. They said my dad The pain has relieved And I have the pain in my leg again and as from that moment You don't have any Do you have anything? Nothing happened to her again. So that's my first And divine healing that I can't thank you. Amen. Thank you for sharing. Praise God. Praise God for what God did Thanks guys. I mean, uh So I'm sure by now you all remember that your first encounter your first witness, uh, you know witnessing a healing is I think it's important that we ask that question You know, just so it takes us back to where you know, how we felt, you know, whatever it is, right? And from my first witness is not wasn't never really in person it was I think tbn or god tv I don't know how young that was is You know watching all these healing services and whatnot, you know people coming off the wheelchair And I was you know wearing half pants going to school. So I didn't you know, it's You're in a position of wonder or wonder, isn't it? And in that one of the so many things that's involved, right? You're amazed And you have these questions like said, you know, it's like, is that really possible? How can this be right? You're feeling all these Mix of emotions, isn't it? And you're trying to figure out make sense of what is happening, right? And I want you to remember all of this as we just you know Go ahead and just to study a little bit more about why miracles healing and deliverance, isn't it? It's especially in this day and age like again, you know, abhubakur or anybody You know who have who is Who's praying for healing and whatnot in this day and age where we have You know advanced scientific technology in the field of medicine and whatnot We we don't need to struggle like people who used to struggle say 10 years ago even 20 years ago So there's advancement being made every day, right? There's some breakthroughs in the field of medical medicine every day And while we are very grateful for what they do, you know, we never stop people from Especially at the apc, you know, we don't say, okay, you don't go to the hospital at all Don't take any injection at all. You know, I take a tablet when I have a migraine headache John knows that Uh, while we are just thankful and grateful for everything that you know, the medicine does We acknowledge what the doctors do and the hospitals do So grateful for for their support when we you know, we went through wave after wave of covid attack, right? We're so grateful but there's In spite of all of those we still need Uh, you know Signs and wonders healing and deliverance And and I believe that right? I'm so keeping all of that in mind There are a few eight points that I wanted to take us through, right? um In your pf We'll start from page six okay, um Some of the biblical reasons why we must minister supernatural healing and deliverance why we need to pursue it The importance of it. Okay, so some of the important points mentioned here the first one is Miracles healing and deliverance reveal the reality and nature of god Okay, miracles healing and deliverance reveal the reality and nature of god So all those three words miracles healing and deliverance and see the next word there is reveal Okay, and and when you just look at a breakdown that word or think about other words associated with that word reveal the word revelation, right? There is a revelation of something There's a revealing happening and the root word is again unveiling Unveil right is revelation. Okay, so It was you commonly used in In the biblical days as if you know anything about the jewish culture Women of those days or from the middle east is they would cover their faces with a veil Right, and if you think about moses when he came down from you know encountering god What not he would cover his face with a veil right so unveiling There was a revelation of the glory of god on his face, right? So there is a revelation or there is an unveiling that happens When we minister in miracles healing and deliverance it shows the reality That's the first thing, isn't it? It shows that god is real He is not just this mythical idea that he's floating in the second heavens above the clouds You know and whatnot. He might be there. He might not be there You know some of the agnostics think that okay, I believe in the higher power and whatnot No, these miracles signs and wonders show first that he is real Right. He is more real than the ground you're standing on more real than the book you're holding more real than the pen you're writing More real than the chair you're sitting on right God is real Right, it reveals the reality of god and then it reveals the nature of god, okay See that in let's quickly look at I mean it's in the notes, right the god of the bible is real. It is his nature to heal people From sickness and deliver us from all demonic work. Okay, it is his nature. That is who he he is And we see that in exodus chapter 15 verse 26, right exodus 15 26 It says I am the lord who heals you And thus revealed himself through the covenant name Jehovah rafa Okay, Jehovah rafa the lord your healer Right, uh, we can you can just do an entire study on the word covenant and what covenant meant to that culture Okay, it was a very serious thing and when god made a covenant When he's saying that's my covenant name. I am your healer He was being very serious about it, right? um But just in the very next page you see that verse elaborated exodus 15 26 And said if you diligently heed the voice of the lord your god and do what is right in his side Give your to his commandments and keep all his statues I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the egyptians for I am the lord who heals you Okay, um, let's couple more scriptures very quickly um exodus chapter 23 right below, uh, you know in page seven of your pdf Exodus 23 25 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 No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days And another scripture, uh, just one more and we move on is sam 105 plus 37 He also brought them out with silver and gold and there were none feeble among the tribes Okay, none feeble among the tribes Uh, just one last scripture and I like this near my chapter nine was 21 It's in the same page at the bottom right page seven near my chapter nine was 21 says 40 years you sustained them in the wilderness Wait, it's a witness, right? Someone is acknowledging what god had done Right. This is near my writing 40 years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing Okay The topic on the subject of study of wilderness is one of my favorite Uh, and I would encourage you to do the same because you know how dangerous and how, uh uncertain Uh wilderness can be but He sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing In the in a place where everything is a lack They lacked nothing Right their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell Okay, amazing, isn't it? So that's the first point right miracles healing and deliverance reveal the reality and the nature of god, right? Bible clearly establishes that it is god's nature to heal deliver and work miracles It is his nature to sustain us to keep us right. He desires to be revealed in and through his people Right so that the people will know that he is real that he exists and who he really is what is nature Right and so hence the reason we extend our faith and pray and minister healing Deliverance and miracles is to reveal who jesus is right, um, and one of the most, uh powerful points Uh, you know that I came across that I learned in during the recent christmas seasons is We we asked this question, you know Be with your friends or your church members or whatnot. Why did jesus really come? How many of you have been asked that question? Why did jesus have to come to earth? Right, um, and I've been asked that question. Why did he really come? Uh, and we will have a lot of questions, right if I were to ask the same question to you guys Okay, we have it was six and 15 of us in this class right now at the moment I think at least whom I can see there must be more um We will all have different answers isn't it? He came to save the lost. He came to die for us since he Etc etc the list can go on isn't it? um This one point is just Hit me so hard and so beautifully in a way is that simply says that jesus came to reveal the father Okay, why by dying for our sins on the cross. He revealed the father's love for us by healing a blind man I he revealed who the father is right by healing the sick. He revealed who the father is by Uh by being bruised for our inequities. He revealed the love of the father for us, right in everything that jesus did He revealed the father right just like this first point miracles healing and deliverance Reveal the reality and the nature of god and that's exactly what jesus did Right yes with me Okay, the second point uh is miracles reveal god's greatness Miracle revealed miracles reveal god's greatness um The lord jesus revealed his glory through the miracles that he did Um simple verse mentioned there is john chapter 2 verse 11. We are in page 8 of the pdf right now um The beginning of science jesus did in kernar of galilee and manifested his glory And his disciples believed in him. Okay manifested his glory um, that means I'm not sure if you remember These two things that we learned in praise and worship class last year is When we were studying about the presence of god one is there is he is omnipresent, right? He is everywhere Right is in the heavens. He is with us right now. He's inside of us. He's beside you He's beside in different nations at the moment, right and then there is the manifest presence Okay, there are times that he decides to show himself That is the manifest presence, right and that's why it really means is He manifested his glory that means there was substance. It was tangible people could see Right and then hence the disciples believed him. So miracles reveal again unveiling revelation God's greatness Right This is one scripture that's mentioned there uh in jeremiah chapter 32 17 hour we did for us is Lord god, behold you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm There is nothing too hard for you Okay, I this is very old song. I think kent henry From i think 80s Our lord god, thou hast made the heavens and the earth without great power Very old like I said, you know I was just born in that year. I think 87 or something. It came So it's a very old song. But it's it's seeing the truth, isn't it? He is all powerful all knowing all sufficient ever present Right, the psalm says from everlasting to everlasting. He is God Right, so miracles reveal the greatness of god And the third point is miracles demonstrate god's compassion Miracles reveal god's compassion Okay, uh Psalm 145 verse 8 and 9 Psalm 149 verse 8 and 9 it says the lord is gracious and full of compassion Full of compassion slow to anger and great in mercy The lord is good to all You should probably underline that okay? He is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works. Amen Amen, we what what what do we see here? Okay? Uh And we're gonna read a couple of scriptures Uh, we see that people need an encounter with the lord, right? We have This world is filled with hurting people right, um People who are going through X Y and Z so many things It doesn't say that the lord is compassionate only to christians But the lord is compassionate only to those who believe in the new testament or the old testament Etc etc. It doesn't say that Right, there is no prerequisites. Okay that that we need to come before him with if you If you do so and so if you are so and so only then I will have compassion on you No, but a lord is full of compassion. He does not have Any barriers. He does not judge us With anything and that's and the scriptures kind of corresponds to that in matthew 14 14 It says when jesus went out he saw a great multitude But you think jesus would have worn his judgment glass and kind of scanned through everybody. Okay. Who are the real jews? Let me look at their hearts etc etc. No, he just saw the great multitude and he was moved with compassion for them And healed their sick Amen And matthew chapter 15 verse 32 the very next verse 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 And I do not want to send them away hungry Amen So miracles demonstrate god's compassion. Okay Something on the other on the side note, which I will reiterate in another point later on but I feel like I need to uh It's a good side note is When you you think about the story of jona, okay, the first thing you it comes to you is jona and the will that Okay, that that's a sandi school story jona and the will and the second point maybe is about his disobedience How he ran in the opposite direction, right? But what is the heart of that entire book? is And that whole book right the last verse of the book of jona if you read it the last verse of the book of jona is Is god asking jona saying should I not have compassion on this great city? Right another translation says should I not have mercy on this great city? It was god's love and compassion for a city Right, uh, that that that that's what made him call jona, isn't it? So, yeah, I mean he's full of compassion and we you know, so grateful for that Um, so that's the third point miracles demonstrate god's compassion. Are you guys with me so far? Yes Yes, no, maybe Awesome. Okay. Thank you. Uh, all right. Let's uh, let's skip this going um Point four miracles have a powerful effect on people Especially on those who do not believe Right miracles have a powerful effect on people especially on those who do not believe and there are four sub points Four or five sub points to this point first one a miracles get people's attention Okay miracles get people's attention Right, um before we just go ahead and read the verse Um At the ministry of benny hen. This is again going back to 2000 mid 2000s early 2000s, right? That's when god tv was available for if not all most of the nation of india everywhere everybody everybody knew about god tv and then Would see about the programs and ministry of benny hen and whatnot, right? So everybody knew about his healing ministry and now god was using him mightily powerfully across the nations, right? and And so then the first time he came to mumbai, I remember As a huge population Which is for people went there and then he came back again to bangalore in 2005 january I remember that because I volunteered for it to be a volunteer Huge ground was filled with some I don't know how many thousands of people Uh And why did they come, you know from and this was This ground was in the outskirts of bangalore not not even in the heart of the bangalore and people from every nation Every state in india would come maybe even other nations wouldn't come and And so the first point here miracles gets people's attention, right? So you get good and the bad so talking about benny hen's ministry Okay, so he got a lot of bad attention I remember how many news channels the local canada news channels and all were just My gosh belting him, you know, he's like, oh, he's this he is that and whatnot No, he's blacklisted from entering india and whatnot, but the point here is miracles get people's attention Right, it makes their head turn and see okay. Hey, what is happening? Right. It's like an accident scene on the road or a fight is happening. It's like, oh, what's happening? What's happening? You know, it's it's a very indian thing to do Something happening on the road is like What's happening? Even if it's the russia, you will stop your bike and see what happened and then only then okay So something like that. So luke chapter five verse 15 says however The report went around concerning him All the more and great multitudes came together to hear And to be healed by him Of their infirmities Right, so it got their attention um Another scripture in act chapter eight verse six is and the multitude with one accord He did the things spoken by philip hearing and seeing the miracles which he did Okay, so point a miracles get people's attention be miracles miracles act as signposts To point people to god and and cause people to glorify god, okay It's very important this point miracles act as signposts Okay, what does a signpost do? For example, you're you're on a long drive, you know going from destination a to destination b And you see a signpost saying okay this amazing Hotel or cafe is 20 kilometers Away ahead of you. Okay, so you don't stop at that signpost and rejoice is you know, it's like wow I'm gone. It's just a signpost. You're not going to have a coffee there or anything to you know, refresh yourself or Take a break. Nothing, right? It's a signpost. It's leading to another important thing right the actual thing The goal right so that the goal here miracles act as a signpost It's like and all the signpost should lead To jesus. He's the real deal Right. He's the end goal of it all right miracles act as signposts to point people to god and cause people to glorify god Okay The your ministry of miracle science and wonders should cause people to glorify yourself Glorify god, isn't it? Okay Right. Um, so there's multiple scriptures that you can you know read from that In the notes, but I just I don't want to read everything that's mentioned because it's there available for us. Okay Okay, so another important thing is like I said, we are moving Not too fast. Hopefully but you know, but the students, please don't stop Let's not stop you from reading the other important scriptures that is mentioned in the book Okay, it's very important. It keeps just it will continue to build your faith Uh, you know equip you and power you um, you know on the same subject Okay, and I hope that is all right Okay, so the second point was miracles acts as signpost to point people to god because Cause people to glorify god and the third point is brings conviction of sin Brings conviction of um of sin right In in luke chapter five. We can look at verse page 13. Okay Uh, this is scripture mentioned there luke chapter five verse eight Luke chapter five verse eight in page 13 Uh, just the context here is we know right peter and his team had fished all night and caught nothing and uh, and jesus comes and stands by the seashore And says castianet on the other side And peter says love we've tried doing this all night. We have caught nothing But because you say so because you say so we will do this And when peter catches this huge catch his response Is this when simon peter saw it? He fell down at jesus's knees saying Depart from me For I am a sinful man. Oh lord Right So miracles science and wonders that's the context here, right? It leads us it brings a conviction of sin in our hearts All right, and then D brings people to a decision point. So At that point peter had to make a decision Right and jesus asks him the question come follow me I will make you features of men Uh in that conviction Following that peter had to make a decision and we all of us arrive at that point Right when we are convicted You know We have to make a decision and usually in our context in our modern day in asia is an altar called being given, right? Then we see what god is doing in a crusade or in a conference or in the church service and whatnot We see all these wonderful things that's happening and it kind of convicts us and there's always an action call Right, uh, is it like are you willing to give your heart? What are you going to do about it? So there it leads to a decision point Right, uh, and and final point is miracles are essential to see the transformation of the sin cities of the world Miracles are essential to see transformation of the sin cities of the world I mean this is in line with what I shared about jonah and and men of it It's it's important. I would you see that god is filled with compassion. His heart is for the world to be saved His heart is for your city To encounter to see who jesus really is Okay, but then there are these there's this verse that's mentioned in the notes from bottom of page 13 uh leading into page 14 Right, matthew chapter 11 was 20 and 26 matthew chapter 11 was 20 and 26 um again Just to paraphrase that whole thing jesus says If sardim had seen the science and wonders that i am doing today, they would have repented Uh, and he's kind of rebuking the cities of cappernum and khorazin. He says In verse 23 it says and you cappernum who are exalted to heaven will be brought down to hades um It's it's just you know that day in age of metaphorically saying Hey, you're too proud You're too dependent on your own knowledge And and and the wonder of your city is your economy seems to be great And so you're very proud about it and whatnot and hence they did not believe in science and wonders that day Even though they saw him do they witnessed and they did not believe Right, uh, it got their attention. Remember I said they can get your attention good and bad Right, and they didn't seem to care about it. I think jesus makes this powerful statement saying okay, you've witnessed what I've done And if sardim had witnessed what I've been doing they would have repented right, uh Judgment on them will be a less harsher than judgment on you and he's talking to cappernum and khorazin um Right, so that's point four. Uh, it's all about miracles have a powerful effect on people Especially on those who do not believe Uh, right. That's point four leading into point five The importance jesus gave to miracles Right importance jesus gave to miracles The miracles he was doing were more important than the testimony of john the baptist and just turn the page In page 16, okay, we are in pdf page 16 Here's some points that's mentioned there And again, I don't I'm not going to read all the scriptures that's mentioned But just go go through the points that's mentioned is the miracles he was doing were more important than the testimony of john the baptist When the jews questioned him about being the messiah He pointed to the miracles he did as authentication And challenged them to believe because of the miracles he did Okay, remember this point is about the importance jesus gave to miracles Okay Is that that should catch our attention? Okay, the importance jesus gave to miracles That means we had close attention to that point two is that every time he was questioned by the Pharisees or the Sadducees Are you really the messiah? You know, how can you say about this and he jesus points towards the miracles he did as authentication and challenged them to believe And in matthew chapter 11 Was one and six, uh, you know when john the baptist is in prison. He tells uh, he sends his disciples To go and ask jesus, you know, are you really the messiah? What's happening? You know, that's that's the context matthew 11 verse one and six When john the baptist in prison was doubting if jesus was indeed the messiah The lord jesus pointed to his supernatural ministry as evidence that he was indeed the messiah And finally point four is when his own disciples questioned him about the father The lord jesus pointed to the supernatural works. He was doing as evidence that he and the father were one Okay, a very important points there right when his own disciples questioned jesus about his about the father and the lord jesus He points towards the supernatural world that he was doing and all of those things You know all the scriptures and every point that's mentioned there Uh, you know is backed with the scriptures that's mentioned there So I would encourage you guys to go back and read those scriptures Okay, um, and just a couple more points until we finish and we you know break Um point six is the kingdom comes with power Right the kingdom comes with power. Okay, um in page 17 A couple of scriptures, uh mentioned there Matthew nine verse 35 says then jesus went about all the cities and villages Teaching in their synagogues preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every disease among the people Matthew 12 28 But if I cast out demons by the spirit of god, surely the kingdom of god has come upon you Okay, one more time But if I cast out demons by the spirit of god, that means if If I'm moving in deliverance By the spirit of god, surely the kingdom of god has come Upon you. Okay, so the kingdom of god is a kingdom of power right And the gospel and the seventh point is the gospel is to be preached with accompanying science Let's quickly read Mark chapter 16 verse 15 to 20 Over uh, can anyone go uh, let's okay. Let's go to page 21 in pdf Page 21 in your pdf Okay, can someone read that verse? Mark chapter 16 verse 15 to 20, please Mark chapter 16 verses 15 to 20 And he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature He who believes and is baptized will be saved but he who does not believe will be condemned And this science will follow those who believe in my name They will cast out demons and they will speak with the new tongues They will take up the serpents and if they drink anything deadly it will not by no means hurt them They will lay hands on the sick and they will recover so Then after the lord had spoken to them He was received up into the heaven and sat down at the right hand of the god And they went out and preached everywhere the lord working with them and confirming the word through accompanying science. Amen Thank you sir. Right. Um, so that's just to validate the seventh point that gospel is to be preached with accompanying science right, um, that's what jesus asked us and to do and finally Uh in point eight is miracles encourage people to believe for more of the supernatural Miracles encourages us to believe for the more of the supernatural, right? It encourages us it pushes us to be more hungry more thirsty to want more of what is what god is doing Again just a couple of scriptures to validate this point is When jesus knew in matthew chapter 12 verse 15 in page 22 by the way, sorry Matthew 20 matthew chapter 12 verse 15 But when jesus knew it he withdrew from there a great multitudes followed him and he healed them all when jesus withdrew Went to another place great multitudes followed him. They were not just happy, you know at that one point Whatever he did they wanted more it encouraged them to pursue him more, right? Matthew 15 30 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 Great and like that, uh, you know, we can read scriptures after scriptures And I think in john chapter 21 it says john writes, uh, if we were to record everything what jesus has done Uh, this world would not have enough books uh to contain them all Right. Um, so we're just reading a couple of scriptures to support all the points that's mentioned Um, right just to quickly run through the eight points, uh, you know On some of the biblical reasons why ministry of supernatural healing and deliverance is important right just to quickly run through is Miracles healing and deliverance Reveal the reality and the nature of god miracles reveal god's greatness miracles demonstrate god's compassion And miracles have a powerful effect on people Especially on those who do not believe And the importance jesus gave to miracles And the kingdom of god on miracles and the power and the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs and wonders And the eighth one is miracles encourages people to believe for more of the supernatural Okay, uh, with that we kind of stop now. I'm sorry. We went five minutes late. I'll stop the recording Uh, we'll take a quick break and I'll see you all at 10 five
