 Okay, welcome back. Right, I hope you learned something about ministering healing and deliverance in the first session. And I want you to go back home and meditate on it, re-meditate on it. And while you're taking notes, and if you're taking notes, you know, clearly distinguish between session one and session two. So you can kind of meditate on session one, what was taught, and session two, separately what was taught. And it might help you with that. Okay. So the previous session is all about understanding God's heart and his heart to see us whole. This is our father we are talking about, our creator. He knit us together in our mother's womb. He has good plans for us because he is good. Everything about him is good. You think you have good plans for yourself, but think again, he has better plans for you. And so that's the heart of our father. He wants to see his children whole and well. It could be physical, emotional, inner healing. Everything is important for him. There's one statement that someone made. It says, if it's important to you, it is important to him. If it matters to you, it matters to him. Okay, he's not a college warden. It says just to provide you all the needs. Okay, breakfast, lunch is there, okay, water is there and all of that. He's our father. He wants to just give us so much more in abundance than we can imagine. So are you with me? So I hope this course will give us a new perspective to who this beautiful God is. So that was the first session all about. We looked at eight biblical reasons as to why it's important. Now I'm sure one reason is enough. It reveals the nature of God. And I'm also sure that eight reasons are not enough. The list can go on, but that's what it is. So in this session, we look at a few things. Let's look at this one point that says, he desires, like I said, every believer can do this. Let's look at John chapter 14 verse 12. John chapter 14 verse 12. This is one of the scriptures where you'll be reading this a lot in this course. There are a few verses like that, Mark chapter 16 and John chapter 14, time and time again. What was one of the key points that we learned in the last session? One of the key points that we learned is that healing is not in the method or the process. It is in the person of Jesus. And then another important point that we learned is that every believer can do this. Every believer can do this. We are his children. He is our father. He intended all of us, whoever, if we call ourselves as a Christian, if we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are called to go and minister in healing and deliverance. You don't have to be called for a separate ministry, for a healing ministry or deliverance ministry for you to go and pray and heal the sick. John chapter 14 verse 12. What does it say? Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do. Let's pause. The works that I do. In the previous session, we learned a couple of things about the works that he does. What does Jesus say about the works that he does? It's the father's work. He says the works that I do are the father's work. And in that, the father is in me and I am in him. And so then he says, here, the works that I do, he will also do. And greater works than these, he will do because I go to my father. And then let's read one more scripture. Mark chapter 16 verse 17 says, And these signs will follow those who believe. In my name, they will cast out demons. They will speak with new tongues. In my name, they will cast out demons and they will speak in new tongues. So those are the two bases of today's class as well. This session as well. The supernatural healing is in the person and not in the process. The second thing is everyone can do this, including Francis. There are two key important truths for every believer to demonstrate the power of God. Two important truths. First thing is Holy Spirit, however, is given to all believers. That's the first point. Holy Spirit, however, is given to every believer. And second point, sonship, glory is given to all believers. Sonship, S-O-N-S-H-I-P. Sonship, glory given to all believers. Those are the two key points. Now, when Jesus walked on the earth, he was fully God and fully man. So he was a deity. He was God in origin and identity. He was God in origin and identity. What do I mean by that? He was God in origin means his birth was supernatural. Everything about that was supernatural, isn't it? So he was God in that and his identity was that he is the son of God. He was the son of God who walked on the face of the earth. So that was his identity. However, what made him man? That he was not omnipotent anymore. He was not omnipresent. He was not omniscient. Now, what do these words mean? What do they mean? Omnipotent is what? Omnipotent, P-O-T-E-N-T. All-powerful, omniscient, all-knowing. Omnipresent is what? Present everywhere. He can be here, he can be another part of the world at the same time. So that's what omnipresent is. Because of the limitations in the human body, when we say that he was fully God and fully man, but because he was a man, he was not omnipotent. That means he was not all-powerful. And we see in scriptures that he had to rest. He was tired. He slept on the boat. Even though it was in the middle of the storm, he slept. He ate, he was hungry, he was tired. When he was put on the cross, it hurt him. He didn't say, I'm all-powerful. When he was beaten, when he was stripped, when he was whipped, it hurt him. And then he was not omniscient. The Bible says, very interesting, in John 8, verse 28, it says he was taught by the Father. John 8, verse 28, it was taught by the Father. And Luke 2, this is beautiful and I want you to make a note of it. Luke 2, verse 46 and 52. Luke 2, verse 46 and 52, it says he grew in wisdom. Are you with me, guys? This omniscient, this all-powerful, all-knowing God, for eternity, he was fully God, he was fully man. Now, why are we talking about this? And again, he was not omnipotent. He could be only at one place. We are talking about this to just establish the fact that every single thing that Jesus did, he did it with the power of the Holy Spirit. Every single thing that he did, he did it with the power of the Holy Spirit. If Jesus did it with the power of the Holy Spirit, how much more should we? Are you with me? So, let's look at Luke chapter 4, verse 18 and 19. Luke chapter 4, verse 18 and 19. Amen. It's a beautiful verse, isn't it? So, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. We can just stop there and more. And because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted. Again, you see, preaching of the gospel is followed by signs and wonders, isn't it? So, that's something that we learned. Another verse, Matthew chapter 12, verse 28. Matthew chapter 12, verse 28, it says, But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you. If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, Acts chapter 10, verse 38. Acts 10, 38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Can I read that again? How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. So, the miracles that Jesus did, he did by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen? So, the second thing, that's the first thing that we spoke about, right? And the second thing is that this same Holy Spirit, sorry, before going to the second point, the same Holy Spirit has been given to you and to me. Amen? Aren't you glad? This is what happened in the day of Pentecost, isn't it? Jesus says, He gave a very clear instruction, wait until you receive power from on high and then go into all the corners of the world. And so, we have been given the Holy Spirit to function in ministering, healing and deliverance. And secondly, Jesus walked in sonship glory which is also given to all believers. Now, let's look at John chapter 1 verse 14. John 1 verse 14, it says, And the word became flesh and dwelt among us. We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. The word became flesh and dwelt among us. Another word for dwelt in English, which is used there is He tabernacled with us and we beheld his glory. Okay, so the Greek word for glory in the New Testament, a huge part of the New Testament was written in Greek. The Greek word for New Testament is doxa, D-O-X-A. Doxa means make very apparent or manifest, that's what it is, to make very apparent means manifestation of who God is and what He does. Okay, manifestation of who God is and what He does. John chapter 17 verse 5 and 22. Okay, let's go to John chapter 17. Have you read John chapter 17? It's a must read chapter. Okay, Jesus is talking about you and me in that chapter. So it says, verse 5. John chapter 17 verse 5 says, And now, O Father, glorify me together with yourself, with the glory which I had with you before the world was. Verse 22. And the glory which you gave me, I have given them that they may be one just as we are one. Okay, let's take a deep breath. If we only understood what Jesus prayed for and has given to us, if we just understand, I really think that we will be living life very differently. And very differently, I mean that we will be living life like the way Jesus lived. Amen? We've been given that sonship glory. And if I had walked, if to say, I'm still in that pursuit of that, of, you know, to function like the way Jesus functioned. And if I had to function in that 100% of what Jesus has already given me, I would have what we call it as say heavenly riches. For example, with my earthly riches. How many of us are there? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Oh yeah, okay. I can buy, you know, corner house ice creams for all 10 of you all. Right? With my earthly riches. Right? Fine. Dead by chocolate. 250 rupees. Okay. Cool. I can buy for you all. That's with my earthly riches. But with the heavenly riches, if I were to function the way Jesus functioned, I can buy one corner house ice chocolate ice cream and multiply it to all of you all. Get what I'm saying? That's, it is in that level of anointing that Jesus functioned. And he's saying, And the glory which you gave me, I have given them. And I think time and time again, you and I forget about what we've been given. We forget about our identity. We forget about what the power that, and the authority that's been given to us. Are you guys with me? Right? So these two are the key truths that you, Holy Spirit has been given to you. His power is with you. He wants to function in and through you. And the sonship glory has been given to you as well. And so then why are we not demonstrating God's power? So we look at a few common questions. Can we do that? Right? Let's look at some of the common questions as to why are we then not demonstrating more of God's power? Why are, why is the church of this century not functioning like the church of the first century or like the church of the acts like we read? Right? My shadow not healing. So we'll look at some common questions. Okay. So first thing, the first point, why are we not demonstrating more of God's power? Lack of knowledge. Okay. Lack of lack, lack of knowledge. Okay. So Isaiah chapter 13 says one was three. It says therefore my people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge. My people have gone into captivity. That means they've been taken into imprisonment because they have no knowledge. And Hosea chapter 4 verse 6. Hosea chapter 4 verse 6 says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And so a huge, say a huge majority or percentage of Christians or church don't even know what we've been given. Like the two things that we just spoke about, the Holy Spirit and the Sonship Glory. Lack of knowledge. And that's a huge reason why we don't demonstrate enough of what, of God's power. Okay. So lack of knowledge. And the second point is wrong teaching concerning the supernatural. Why we don't demonstrate enough of God's power is wrong teaching. Regarding the supernatural. And some of the points is, okay, here are the arguments some people make. Ah, healings and deliverance. It was only for Bible times. No. It is not for us today. But cessation. In those days, they did not have medical help as we do today. And hence they needed the supernatural power of God to help them. These are all true statements. It only happens according to God's sovereign will. So we cannot do much with our faith. Sorry. It only happens according to God's sovereign will. So we cannot do much with our faith. The supernatural will make you spooky. Stay away if you want to be normal. Let's not have supernatural power anymore. Right. So wrong. Isn't it? Jesus heals even today. Right. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He hasn't changed. Right. His heart is still filled with compassion for the sick, for all of us. Amen. Right. So wrong teaching concerning the supernatural is another reason, a common reason why the church doesn't move or just demonstrate God's power as it should. It's just the lie of the devil out there. Okay. The third point is leaving the ministry or the miracle or the supernatural ministry for very special people. Leaving, okay, this healing ministry, deliverance ministry is only for Benny Hinn and all these pastors in Africa and John G. Lake and, you know, Smith Wigglesworth and it's all for them. It's not for me, Catherine Kuhlman. It's, is that true? By now we should have learned. No, it's for everyone. Every believer can function, can minister in healing and deliverance. Yes. The truth is, okay. So, you know, some of them are called for worship ministry. Some of them are called for children ministry, youth ministry, healing ministry, et cetera, et cetera. Right. Some of them are called for prophetic ministry and whatnot. They are different offices as we read in Ephesians chapter four. Having said all of that, while they can function in their own offices and in the certain gifts, every believer is called to function. Jesus didn't say only the evangelists and the missionaries and the pastors and the teachers. Okay, pastors, go cast out the, cleanse the lepers, heal the sick. Are you evangelists? You don't interfere with their work. You just, just go ahead, you know, do what you have to do. Just preach the gospel. Don't do any signs and wonders. Okay. And the missionaries, just take people's money and just do whatever you want to do. He said, he didn't, he did not categorize, right? He did not categorize, right? He did not distinguish his, he said, go, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, et cetera, et cetera. And so, just know that everybody is called to function in this ministry. Fourth, replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes. Replacing the supernatural with good music, with good lights and sound systems, heavy duty stuff and LED and I was like, oh my gosh, I can't even see the preacher anymore from the stage. You know, it's like, what is happening on the stage? You know, the technology, that's one of the reasons and other things that's come, spoken about a lot in this day and age is apologetics without power. Apologetics. Everybody say apologetics, right? Everybody's doing the course, right? I think you all had the last semester or the semester? Next semester. Oh, next semester. This semester. Okay. Make up your mind, guys. Apologetics, it's a Greek word. It means to defend your faith, to give an argument, right? The famous apologists that we've heard about, good music is important. Skillful music is important, right? Technology is important. We've learned that in the last two years with our technology, we could not have, I mean, we can't be reaching out to those online, right? Or have students from different countries. We are thankful for all of that. But we cannot, all of that cannot be substituted for us to function in the supernatural. We cannot be satisfied and say, okay, we have good music. So we do not need, we don't need to have a healing ministry. We don't need to pray for the sick. If you have good sound, good technology, if you have good arguments, an intellectual thing of, you know, how to defend the faith, that's not enough, isn't it? It has to be accompanied with power. So replacing the supernatural with modern substitutes is not an option. Remember, we are talking about why are we not demonstrating? Why is the church not demonstrating enough of God's power? So we are reasoning of some of the common questions. The fifth point is unwilling to press in till we see more of his power displayed. Unwilling to press in. That means, let's just think about all these wonderful people, you know, the heroes of faith or God's generals, as we call it. One of the names that come to my mind is John G. Lake. John G. Lake is, he lived approximately 100 years ago. He was banned from going into certain cities. You know why? Because hospitals will have no people, patients. He functioned with so much of power and authority that his healing ministry was so impactful. And again, you know, if God has called you and if you have a heart for healing ministry and whatnot, right? There is a book in the library, John G. Lake and the church office. You can just, I would encourage you to read it about his life. And there are so many generals of God whose function that, the thing is, we read about what they did. Yes or no? We read about, you know, all the miracles. We even see some of, you know, all these beautiful men of God when they pray, you know, God ministers and in healing. What we don't know or what we do not see is the price they have paid. We don't know the number of hours they've shut the door and prayed and spent time with God. Right? We don't know the price they have paid. And that's a huge point for us is we are unwilling to present. Now we have a head knowledge. Okay, every believer can do this. We've been given the Holy Spirit power. We know. So now we have the knowledge and we're not going to do anything about it. We just put it in the locker and keep it chill. Right? There is a price. God is inviting us to pursue him. Amen. He is inviting us to pursue him. There is a deeper level of hunger and a thirst that God is inviting us for us to function. The sixth point is other roadblocks to the supernatural is a few couple of simple things is that we don't step out in faith. Everybody say faith. We don't step out in faith. Faith has another spelling. What's the spelling of faith? Wrong. R-I-S-K. Right? We're not willing to take that risk of, okay, what if I get hit or slapped by someone? Oh, you know, that's one of the reasons it's not the only reason and could be so many other reasons as in we don't step out in faith because, okay, we are afraid one and another is you're afraid of disappointment. Okay, what if I pray and nothing happens? Right? Or a fear of failure. Oh, I have prayed for 10 people. No one has been healed. Why should I do it? Have you heard of Todd White? Todd White. Okay, you can make a note of it. His videos are all over YouTube. Todd White, yeah, he has this awesome dude with his long hair and crazy hair. In one of his testimonies, he has a healing ministry and he does all this street evangelism. He goes praying for people and people get healed and whatnot. He says in one of his testimonies, interview, he would have prayed for at least 90 odd people until he saw the first miracle or healing happen. 90 odd people. Imagine if he had stopped at one or two or even 90, you know, because of the past failure. So these are all variety of various reasons why we can stop moving. Just because you don't see instantaneous, spontaneous healing happen, that should not stop you and me. Are you with me? Yes, no, maybe a little bit. Okay, another famous question is, don't demonic powers also have or also demonstrate supernatural? Sorry, I can't hear you. Yes, yes. So I mean, if that's the case, let's just take, for example, the gift of prophecy. Okay, let's just take, for example, a gift of prophecy, right? There are prophets. Efficiency of the forces, pastors, evangelists, teachers, prophets, yes. So that means individuals will be called for the office of the prophet, a prophetic ministry. But we see that in Corinthians and say, okay, pursue prophetic as well, right? So we've all given gift of knowledge, prophetic words to one another. We've seen that happen in the supernatural hour, isn't it? And so the gift is there. Jesus, again, going back to the point that says, Jesus did not distinguish or categorize saying, okay, people are called just to be more focused in that area, like say healing ministry. So if you're Anand, you are called to do healing ministry, you focus on that. I mean, you preach and you teach all of that. But that doesn't, that should not stop Vijay. So, you know, pursuing that or praying for the sick or healing the sick and whatnot. So he can be very, he can have a very active and a vibrant youth ministry. Are you with me? I don't see any reason as to why you should not pray for the sick or heal the sick because that's what Jesus has asked all of us as a church. So that is a commission for the entire church, isn't it? And what we know as great commission, right? Is Matthew 28, isn't it? So that's the point that's being made over there. That's a commission for all of the church as well. Yeah. Okay, so we were talking about, don't demonic powers also demonstrate the supernatural? What do you guys think? Yes, of course not. So let's just look at 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9. Does anybody have any cash on you? 10 rupees, 100 rupees? Have a question? You have, can I, can you give it to me? Yeah, whichever. Yeah. In that, there's a lot of zeros. Thanks. Okay. All right. So, okay. So 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9. It says the coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. Okay. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs and lying wonders. Now, just as we as a people of God can tap into the kingdom of God and his power, people can also tap into the, we spoke about another kingdom, right? Kingdom of darkness, that is witchcraft and warlocks and whatnot. So, people can tap into demon power to work deceptive signs and wonders. That's what Thessalonians says, lying wonders, isn't it? And that's what we call it as counterfeit. Yes or no? Right? So, that's the reason I asked for this. Okay. So, this is an authentic one, I think. Yeah. So, this is, okay. Yeah. This is an authentic 50 rupees, right? Now, just because there are also counterfeit notes out there in the world, yeah, fake notes, right? Now, just because there are fake notes, we don't stop using the authentic ones. But that fear is like, oh, there's fake ones and whatnot, right? We still use this, isn't it? And so, yeah, sure. Just because there are demonic powers that function in lying wonders, as the Bible mentions, you should not stop us from pursuing what is authentic. We know what is authentic, right? Jesus' teaching is authentic. I'm keeping it here safely, which I, right? And there's so many biblical examples we read about in the Bible, Moses and the magicians in the Egypt. You know the story, right? Moses brings his staff and he throws it, becomes a snake and then Pharaoh calls his magicians and he throws two staffs. That's also become a snake. Maybe Moses was not ready for it. Maybe Moses was taken aback and was like, oh God, you did not tell me about this one. But I'm sure God was not surprised or taken aback. It's like, Jesus, Moses, I got this. You just wait and see what's going to happen, right? So we all know the end of that story, isn't it? So we, as God's ministers, as His children, we should not be, you know, moved or distracted by the demonic powers. They are there. Okay. We know they're counterfeit. He's lying, thief. You don't need to care about it. Okay. So various examples, guys, in the Bible, like Elijah and the prophets of the Baal. And then, I mean, there are so many points that you, which are in the notes as well. So about false prophets and demonic powers. The next point is asking for signs wrong. Again, guys, we are talking about some of the common questions that are regarding or stopping the church from demonstrating the God's power. Is asking for signs wrong? You do this, only then I will believe. Something like that, right? Okay. Quickly make a note of these scriptures. Matthew 12, 38 to 42. Matthew 12, 38 to 42. Matthew 16, 1 to 4. Mark chapter 8 was 11 to 13. Mark chapter 8 was 11 to 13. Luke chapter 11 was 16, 29 and 32. Luke chapter 11 was 16. 29 to 32. John chapter 2 was 18 and 22. Now, in all of these things, right? It talks about people who came to Jesus and asked for signs, right? And one of the common things in all of these scriptures when you read is the intention of the Pharisees and the Sadducees was to, you know, capture or make... They were questioning Jesus' authority and power. Like, they wanted to find out, okay, are you really the Christ? If you are really the Christ, show us the signs and wonders. Now, Jesus could have showed the signs and wonders, right? Now, instead of that, he understood their intention. And he tells them that the only reason or the only sign you will see is that you will see the Son of Man resurrect as the ultimate final sign. So, they wanted to come and... Have you ever had a question about Jesus? Have you ever had a person who asks you a question but who is not really seeking an answer? You understand what I'm saying? Have you had anyone who asks you a question but they don't really want your answer? They just want to see what you know and disagree with you or cause or make a scene? You get what I'm saying, right? So, that's what these people were trying to do. Okay, they didn't really want an answer that Jesus was willing to give them and Jesus knew their intention and so he said, okay, the only sign you are going to get is you're going to see the Son of Man resurrect and even that angered them. So, but Jesus healed everyone who came to him in faith, isn't it? And we see that he healed all the multitudes of people who came to him for healing. Okay, that's... I mean, you don't have your notes so I don't want to give you a lot more than what we're covering because I think we've already covered a lot of content. So, once you get your notes in your soft copies, just go ahead and finish the rest of the points. It's fairly simple. Okay, so what are some of the key points that we covered today regarding healing ministry? Okay, so healing is not in the process but in the person. Okay, those online, just some of the key points that we covered today. Feel free to put it in the chat section. Healing is not in the process but it is in the person. Okay. Loudly, yes. One at a time. Okay, Holy Spirit power has been given to all of us. Sorry, Chiro. Right, Sonship glory has been given to all of us. Every believer can do this. Okay, sorry. Miracle has a powerful effect on people. Okay, every believer is empowered to perform miracles in science. Thank you, Jackson. Miracles healing displays the nature of God. It reveals who he is. Okay, what else? Reveals God's greatness. Reveals God's compassion. Miracles points to God. They're all signposts. Okay, so I hope this is a good start for this course. And I'll share your final assignment right away at the very early stage so you can get on to it. Okay. Oh boy. Okay. How's this working? It's on airplane mode. Okay. Okay, so let's pray and we'll close. Yeah. Father, we thank you, Lord, for teaching us through your words, for speaking to us through your word, Lord. I pray, Father, everything that we've learned. Lord, I pray that your word will bear fruit in our lives, Lord. So sorry, guys. Let your word bear fruit in our lives. I pray, Father, and everything that we do, I pray that we would walk in sonship glory, just like you did. I pray that we would walk in the fullness of your Holy Spirit, just like Jesus did, Father. We thank you for everything that you're going to do in and through our lives. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you everybody online for joining the session. I'll see you all next week. Bye-bye.
