 Okay. Welcome back to the second section. Go ahead and share my screen and we'll get started. Great. Just to continue from where we left off in the last class. So one of the bases for ministering in divine healing is is the Spirit's power, knowing that everything what Jesus did was by the power of the Holy Spirit. And we are anointed to minister just like Jesus. That's where we start in the last session. And I hope you all can see my screen. Just a couple more scriptures before we continue. Acts chapter 2 verse 33 says, therefore being exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit He poured out this which you now see and hear. He poured out. First Corinthians 12.7 says, but the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all. And again, once again, please forgive me for sounding redundant, but in chapter 1 we see that there are two things that we can, you know, that Jesus operated in. One is, again, he was anointed with the power of the Holy Spirit. Secondly, he was anointed with the sonship glory. And these same two things have been given to us. And so one of the key points going back to the beginning of this course, one of the key points is that every believer can do this. Every believer can do this. And the basis of that claim or that argument simply means because we have been given the same Holy Spirit that Jesus was anointed with. The Holy Spirit is also the giver of life. He is the spirit of life. And we see that in Romans chapter 8 verse 2. We must believe, receive and walk in the power of the Spirit within us as believers. We must believe, receive and walk in the power of the Spirit within us as believers. While there are many aspects of the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, we recognize the Spirit of God imparts life to our mortal organs. Romans 8, 11 says, But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies. Isn't that powerful, isn't it? He will give life to our mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you. So he quickens our bodies, he quickens our spirit. And in the last section we saw that he increases, he renews our strength, he increases our longevity and increases our vitality of our bodies. And it's the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead that dwells in us who gives life to this mortal body until we put on immortality as it says in 1 Corinthians 15. Moving on, another basis for ministering healing and deliverance is the name of Jesus. It's the name of Jesus. In the kingdom of God, God works through the power of divine authorization or delegation. In the kingdom of God, God works through the power of divine authorization and delegation. The Lord Jesus came in the Father's name during his earthly ministry. The Lord Jesus authorized and delegated his disciples to go in his name and minister on his behalf. It's very important. During his earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus authorized and delegated his disciples. That's what you guys said in the beginning about the Great Commission as well, isn't it? Which we'll again look in the next page as we go on. So the disciples understood the power vested in them through delegation and went out confidently to heal and deliver them. All Jesus said was, okay, I give you the authority, go ahead and see what it says in Luke chapter 10 verse 1, 17 and 19. It says, after these things, the Lord appointed 70 others also and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place where he himself was about to go. Verse 17. And the 70 returned with joy saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name. And he said to them, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the powers of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Amen. There's so much depth in that scripture and what the book is trying to say here. We all understand authority in different aspects, in different perspectives, isn't it? I'm sure if someone in higher authority than you says, okay, go ahead and do this in my name, I'll give you authority or say, okay, you know, Sid, you have my permission to take everybody in class for an excellent lunch somewhere or whatever. You're going to take them, you're not going to just sit and say, okay, you know, just keep dreaming about it and say, okay, oh wow, yeah, this is what he said, this is what the motion said, okay, you can do this. You're not going to sit and do nothing about it, isn't it? Because everybody else in class is going to give you, I say, okay, this is what Sir said and you didn't do it, why didn't you do it? We can't be like that, isn't it? But just to know that we've been given this authority and when we don't act on it, it's like having a black check and not encaching it. We've been given this black check with this stamp with his signature on it and it comes down to us, you know, for us to put it to use. So it says, John 14-13 says, whatever you ask in my name that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Mark 17, Mark chapter 16 and 17 and 18 says, and these signs will follow those who believe. In my name, they will cast out demons. They will speak with new tongues. They will take up serpents and if they drink anything deadly, if they by no means hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover. James chapter 5, verse 14 and 15 says, is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church. Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. Anointing him with the oil in the name of the Lord. Again, another key point is it's not the process or the method, but it is in the person. Remember that, right? It's not in the process or methods, it's not just in the laying of hands or not laying with the hands, but it is in the person of Jesus. And so this is a classic example here. Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil and some of us can tend to get fixated on this one thing. Oil of the rich oil, coconut oil, almond oil, prominent oil, oil from Jerusalem, etc. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. In some places, when we go on mission strip, I've heard a faster story. They don't necessarily have oil to give. They use the water. It's just not the method or the process, but see what it says after that. Anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. That should stand out to us, isn't it? So when we use the name of Jesus, we are standing there in his place. Let that sink in. When we use the name of Jesus, we are standing there in his place. So when we say that we are gathered together in the name of Jesus, we are all meeting together in the name of Jesus. That means that meeting should look like one of those meetings in Jesus' days as if Jesus was there. Are you guys with me? His name is not just a way to end our prayer. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen. Let's move on with life. My gosh. His name is so much more than just ending a prayer. So when we use the name of Jesus, we are standing there in his place. We are an ambassador. We become an ambassador. We are representing. If you break that word, we are representing him. We are representing him and acting on his behalf. Amen. I think from this, the famous tagline was born, www.JD. What would Jesus do? Right? So there is power in the name of Jesus. And we've been given that authority. Let's go on. There is one more scripture. Philippians chapter 2 was 9 to 11. Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him the name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every niche of God, of those in heaven and of those on earth and those under the earth. And that every town should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the Father. Amen. How many of us realize that there is no escaping this? That there is no escaping this truth? That one day every town will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Right? And he's been given the name above every other name. So when we use the name of Jesus, we are essentially acting in the highest authority available. We are acting in the name that is greater than any other name. It is in the authority of that mighty name that we expect sickness to bump, demons to flee, and people to be healed and delivered. Amen. I will also recommend another ABC publication that for you to read, is a book on the mighty name of Jesus. Okay? I'll share the link later, if I can find it, but it's been downloaded for free on our website. But yeah, so that's the basis for ministry and healing and deliverance. One of the basis is the name of Jesus knowing that we've been given the authority or we have a blank check to go about ministering divine healing to the sick and deliver and from every oppression from demonic position, et cetera, et cetera, whatever it is. You and I are called to do that because we carry his name. Amen. I forget the chapter in the book of Acts. Forgive me. It is time where Saul is blind. He encounters Jesus in all his glory and is blind for three days. But during that time, God is speaking to Ananias and he says, on this day, I want you to go and meet this person, Saul. And Ananias is very scared. He said, okay, I don't want to go meet him. He's a murderer. What if he puts me in jail? I'm scared. But God says, I have chosen him to carry my name. Isn't that wonderful? I've chosen him to carry my name. And then what Paul goes on to do for the rest of history is just beyond amazing, isn't it? And thanks, John. And similarly, you and I are called to carry his name. But think about every brand that is out there in the world right now. All of the company wants you to carry their name. If Nike or Adidas, Reebok, whatever brand you can think of, anything, right? So it's like, oh, there's a certain sales thing that goes with, okay, you drive a certain car with a certain brand, there's a value to it. If you wear a clothing of a certain brand, there's another value to it. You get what I'm saying? And we need to realize that you and I, we carry the name of Jesus. That should mean something. Amen. Okay, so I hope that's encouraging. Let's move on. Another basis for ministering healing and deliverance is faith. Faith in God is essential when ministering healing and deliverance. Faith in God is essential when ministering healing and deliverance. When the disciples of Jesus, they went out just to paraphrase it. They come back saying they were disappointed. Why were we not able to cast out this devil? And Matthew says in 17, 19, 21, when the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, why could we not cast it out? And so Jesus said to them simply, plainly, because of your unbelief. And for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you. However, this time does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Okay, Jesus responds to them very simply. He says, because of your unbelief, we did not believe. And how many scriptures in the past we've seen? Okay, if you just believe, you believe, if you believe, you will be able to do this. Every believer, we are called believers, isn't it? It means we believe in something and we should, and we should act like we believe in something. Acts chapter 3 verse 16 says, and his name through faith in his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through him has given him this perfect sameness in the presence of your Lord. Okay, and his name through faith in his name. Galatians 3 verse 5 says, therefore he who supplies the spirit to you and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith? Okay, and one last picture from James chapter 5, 14 and 15. James chapter 5, I read for us, I read from verse 13. James chapter 5 verse 13 onwards all the way to 15. It says, is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone unhappy? Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is anyone of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. The Lord will raise him up. Amen. And if he has sinned, he will be forgiven. I just finished 16 as well. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of righteous man is powerful and effective. Okay, in verse 15 it says, and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. Amen. So there is power in faith and we also see that faith for personal healing and deliverance and how Jesus always acknowledged that it comes to Roman centurion. Now, when you read this part of what happens in Matthew 8, 13 everything that we've studied so far right from the word of God and how there's power and how there's power in declaring and confessing and it's amazing what the Roman centurion says. Lord, you don't have to come just say it because there's authority in the word. I myself am a man in authority so I know the power that my word or my command carries. And in response to that Jesus is our, you know, is an awesome faith. Your great faith can be a good daughter, you know and again the next instance there how Jesus acknowledges the person's faith and your faith has made you well. In Matthew 9, 29, according to your faith let it be to you. To the Canaanite woman, he says, O woman, great is your faith. Faith enables us to step out and minister to people. Popularly known is faith is spelt as risk, R-I-S-K. Stepping out in faith, everybody all of us have that fear what if I pray and this person doesn't get healed it doesn't matter. You step out in faith in other words you step out and you take that risk, you pray for the people. Not sure if you know this person called Todd White Todd White is one of the evangelists who does a lot of street evangelism and he says he had to pray for at least 90 odd people for him to even see the first healing and now he goes and prays for people on the streets and people are healed and what if he had stopped at number 5 because of disappointment I pray it didn't happen what if he had stopped at number 20 or 30 or 19 and so he said he had to pray for 90 odd people for him to even start seeing the first miracle and so faith equips us empowers us to step out and take that risk and go and minister divine healing Amen and the next basis for ministering healing and deliverance is the kingdom of God the kingdom of God and we see in Matthew 16 verse 18 and 19 says and I also say to you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven okay look at this scripture it says the first verse I say to you Peter on this rock I will build my church and the gates shall not prevail against it and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it now a simple question which is not a tricky question does the gate move or is it in one place is it stationary simple question gates don't move isn't it I think it don't move it just open and close but it doesn't move yes right but the gates again in the days of the Bible and you know prior to that the gates were like the stronghold of a city it was like the control center of the city okay and it's always there like Isaac said it just opens and closes okay but gates doesn't move places but what is Jesus saying here when he says that okay I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven okay but first he says I will build my church on this and the gates shall not prevail that means hey we as a church we are to take the fight to the devil for far too long we are complacent we are very you know in our comfort you know with whatever we are doing it's like we have to advance and one other thing the Bible says is the kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent takes it by force it talks about a hunger and a desire to see the kingdom of God invade right in the kingdom remember the kingdom is always is two words isn't it king and dominion so every time king comes he comes with his dominion and the kingdom of God is the kingdom of power as we learned in chapter one we can go there and recap and ask yourself this question in the kingdom of God is there sickness is there tears is there is there pain is there shame is there bondage is there oppression no because God is our king and as we learned he is not the source of any of the sicknesses right he is perfect made us perfect and so when we bind the sicknesses on earth is bound in heaven right when we release healing on earth in the name of Jesus healing is released in his kingdom and his kingdom comes over the people that we pray for amen and so as the sons of the kingdom we are here to forcefully advance the kingdom of God and overthrow the works of darkness can I read that one more time okay as the sons and daughters of the kingdom we are here to forcefully advance the kingdom of God and overthrow the works of darkness overthrow the works of darkness right it's such a beautiful metaphor when you read in the Old Testament in Exodus one of the commandments that was given to the Israelites was you go into the land that I have promised you chase your enemies away you don't compromise with them and live with them because if you do you will start living like them you will start worshiping the gods that they are worshiping your style of worship will change your gods will change everything will change right but this that's exactly what they did not do Israelites went into the promised land Joshua leads them generation after generation they would lead a certain bunch of people but they will always let another group of people just stay there because of which because they did not drive their enemies away from their land so the same enemies that they let them will oppress them and you can read all over it in the book of Judges and what not and that's the recording theme of the Old Testament and so here we are encouraged to do the same it's like there's any area in your life in your family's life in your city what not we are not called to to compromise we are called to take the fight to the enemy and chase the powers of darkness because we've been given that authority as sons and daughters amen and so finally kingdom authority and power flows through us as we minister healing and deliverance kingdom authority and power flows through us as we minister healing and deliverance do you guys agree with me do you all realize that the power that we've been trusted with and finally the last basis for ministering healing and deliverance is our commission just like all of you said in the beginning the gospel is to be preached with accompanying signs, wonders and miracles and we have been commissioned to do so just as the Father has sent me I also send you it says in John 20, 21 actually it's repeated in the previous chapter in John 17 as well just as the Father has sent me I also send you we have been sent with the same mandate and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ it says commission in two words we call mission it's a core mission we are co-partnering co-laboring with God on this mission he is with us in everything that we do and we see that in one John chapter 3, 8 it says for this reason Jesus came what does it say, for this purpose the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil that he might destroy the works of the devil if Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil then we have been commissioned to do the same are you guys with me yeah alright thank you Isaac so just a couple more points and then we will enter the session so everything that we have covered so far before we continue of the page 55 so quickly all the basis for ministering of healing and deliverance we have looked at that it is the nature of God it is in this nature to heal to see His children whole the cross the power of the cross we were justified on the cross He died for us and He took our sicknesses the Word of God God works and moves and creates through His Word in His Word the power of God is resident in His Word, we saw that and then the next basis for ministering and healing and deliverance is the Spirit it is the Holy Spirit's power the same Holy Spirit that was with Jesus it is available to you and me for us to know it and then we have the authority in the name of Jesus we carry that name and faith the kingdom of God and it is our mission okay so actually what I would like to do now is I just stop here quickly we have all the spaces of understanding and healing and deliverance we see one we have the name of Jesus as our authority we have the Word of God and then we are encouraged and equipped to move in faith and as the people of His kingdom we are asked to advance and when we do when we take the fight to the enemy the gates of hell will not prevail they will not win against us Amen so knowing all of that what I would like to do is just spend just a few minutes in prayer like we did last class okay amen so today specifically I want us to pray for the cities that we are from very quickly in the chat section just type the city that you are from let's pray for our cities can we do that now can we pray for the cities we are going to pray for the kingdom of God to invade our land amen I mentioned this before in the book of Jonah it is very famously known only for the Jonah and the whale story but the last line of the book of Jonah where God responds to Jonah and he says should I not have compassion and mercy over this great city of none of that right and so with every city that is mentioned here we know that God is filled with compassion for that land that you are from amen and I want you to pray for your land right now and with all of us we know the condition of the city that you are in whatever it is why don't you very quickly miss because short of time just quit two minutes of prayer just release that prayer and kingdom of God over your city and all of us are going to see an amen to that okay can we do that class what do you think alright let's do it okay Anitha why don't you just pray for Karawar
