 Hello everyone! Good morning! Welcome to today's session, Ministering Divine Healing, Session 1. Thank you all for joining in to see, see it, Anita, Rosalind, Leah. I hope you are doing well enough. I hope you can all hear me well. Yes, is my voice all clear? Yes, it's clear. You guys can hear me, right? Yes, Pastor, we can hear you. Thank you. Let's pray and we'll get started. Father, we come before you and to your throne of grace, Lord. Father, thank you Lord that you're so good. You're so full of mercy. You're so full of kindness and compassion towards us, as your children. We thank you that every new day is filled with mercy as well. And so, Father, we submit this time into your hands as we learn on Ministering Divine Healing. Father, I pray that our eyes will be opened to your heart. That we would get a glimpse of how you love people and how much you still love people and that you want to see them well and whole and complete. So as we learn from your word, Holy Spirit, Minister, towards you teachers and what help us to be sensitive, pour out your wisdom, your knowledge, your understanding over us as we learn more about you from you. I submit this time into your hands and Jesus name my prayer. Amen. Amen. Okay, all right. We trust you all are doing well. Let me go ahead and share my screen and get started. I hope you all can see my screen. I just want to, as we always do, want to do a quick run through of Chapter 3, which we covered in the last class, last week, chapter titled, The Father's Works. Okay, so to do a quick recap, we see that the Lord Jesus came to do the works of the Father, right? Because he came to do the works of the Father, so we are called, you and I, you and I as His children, as His heirs to the Kingdom. We are called to do the works of the Father just like Jesus. And so when we say just like Jesus, how did He go about doing this? Okay, we see that Jesus talked about the Father's work. He said that every time His divinity or deity was questioned, He would refer or point towards the miracles that He performed. Okay, so you'd say, believe in me because you see the works I am doing. And they bear a greater witness than John the Baptist, right? It was a very strong statement that Jesus makes, isn't it? And even when the Prophet himself, one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament, John the Baptist is known as, even when he doubts, when he has a doubt, you know, Jesus tells his disciples to go and tell John, tell him that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf here. Once again, Jesus is pointing to the works that He was performing that He did, right? To prove that He is the Messiah, that He is the Son of God. He is the Lamb that has come, right? And then Jesus time and time again, He says, I must do the Father's work. And we see that how much Jesus expresses His love for the Father. And then vice versa, how the Father expresses His love and His acceptance about His Son, Jesus, right? So as we just mentioned, the works I do bear witness of me, right? In John 10, 37 says, if I do not do the works of my Father, do not believe me. Once again, a very bold statement to make. If I do not do the works, not just works, any works, but the works of my Father, that if I'm not obedient to His works, do not believe in it, right? So that's what we saw in the last chapter. Let's move on. And so time and time again, we see that how intimately the Jesus walked with the Father in obedience, right? In His intimate presence. And everything that Jesus did and said was what He saw the Father do and speak, right? So that was very briefly a gist of what chapter 3 was all about, the works of the Father. And I hope that you have the time to go back and reread that chapter. And I pray, I hope that you were encouraged as you went through the chapter again, because we are all called to press in. Just as Jesus did the Father's work, we are called to do the works of the Father. Amen. Are you guys with me so far? Okay. I hope you are learning and I hope you are, you know, I do understand. And I also realized, don't get me wrong, that the content there can be heavy. It's rich. Hence, it's heavy. Okay. So, and it might take some time to digest and, you know, and accept whatever. But that's the beauty of it, right? When we are learning of something beautiful about God and how He lived and His heart for people. That is you and I. And His heart to work with us, He doesn't have to. He can be His God, isn't it? He can do whatever He wants to do whenever He wants to. But instead, He chooses to partner with us. He wants to hold our hands and work with us. He wants us to reveal who He is, His love for the world, way to reveal the Father's love for an often world that is just going away, you know, thinking everything that it is doing is right. Right? So, just as we go through this course, you know, even if the content is a little heavy and whatnot, be encouraged. Don't do work. Don't lose heart thinking, oh, this is just too much for me and whatnot. But just press in. Okay? Press in. Press in. It's for, this is made available for you and I. All right? Okay. So, it's enough preprop I guess. Now, we're going to look at chapter four. We're going to start with chapter four. Learning to minister healing and deliverance from Jesus. It's an awesome title, isn't it? Learning to minister healing and deliverance from Jesus. Wow. Okay. So, in this chapter, basically, what we're going to do is a pastor's going to cover seven principles. Okay? Seven principles are ministering healing and deliverance. Okay? So, the five of which is inspired by a sermon called the Thrill of Victory. Okay? Thrill of Victory. Okay? I'm not sure how many of you have heard of Randy Clark. He leads this ministry called the Global Awakening and who is known very popular for his healing ministry. And he travels around the world, you know, hosting a healing crusades and meetings and teaching about healing and deliverance as well. So, five of the seven principles have been inspired by his, from his sermon. And then there are two more points that's been added to it. Okay? So, in this chapter, we will cover what are those seven principles, right? One is the will of God, the exercise of faith, the flow of compassion, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, dealing with the issue of sin and salvation, the methods Jesus used and the nature of Jesus's healings and miracles. Okay? And if we have time, we'll go into chapter five once we're later on. So, basically, this is what we're going to try and cover today. Right? You guys looking forward to it? You guys looking forward to learning something new today? Okay, I'll take that as a yes. You know, when I used to study music, if when my son used to teach, right, just to make the class interesting and if no one in the class responded, he would say yes, no, maybe. Okay? So, I'm going to imagine and pretend that I can see your heads not, whichever way it wants to know. Okay? So, before we start learning about the principles in which and how we can minister healing and deliverance, we just take a little try and build a foundation of, you know, how these principles function. Okay? So, we're going to call these principles norms. Okay? Normal. Normal comes from normal. It's a normal thing. It's normal. Right? So, what is it? We walk in the truth we have and work with what we do know. We refer to these as norms. Okay? We walk in the truth we have and work with what we do know, what we know and what we have. We work with that. When you do, when you work with that, that is norm. That's a normal thing. Right? So, these are the principles that we see in God's work. Everything actually what we've covered so far, especially in chapter one and chapter two, we see a lot of what God's principles already established. Right? And so, we work with what we know and what's been revealed to us. Okay? However, we must also always keep in mind that God is bigger than our understanding and bigger than our present knowledge of Him and bigger than all our cumulative knowledge. Okay? So, there will always be situation where God surprises us. We will call these exceptions. Okay? So, there is for our sake of our understanding, there is a sort of rules that God always functions, always chooses to function, but then there are times where God chooses to work outside of those guidelines of those principles because He is God and He is sovereign. Right? And so, just for sake of understanding a little better, I apologize for taking the same example of music because that's kind of a stream I understand a little better and I think of another example if I can come up with something. So, if you know anything about music, let's take for example, a C major scale. C major scale has a set or a series of seven notes in it. Right? C-D-E-F-G-A-B. Okay? The principle or the rule or the guideline says if you are composing a song or writing a melody, choosing a C major scale, you can only use these set of notes, right? C-D-E-F-G-A-B. Okay? Now, that's the principle, that's the given. And it's from that C major scale you get also known as the diatonic chords or the family part which is C major, F major, G major and the three minor chords, D minor, B minor, A minor, they all belong to that principle, the box. Okay? What we are trying to understand, right? That's the norm, that's the normal thing. Now, and then comes a composer into the picture. He's like, hey, you know what? I'm going to do try and do something different. I'm going to try and add a chord that does not fit, that does not come in the C major family and make it more colorful or whatever, right? So those are the exceptions, right? Are you guys with me? I hope you were able to get something of what I'm trying to say, okay? Because composer, like I'm the composer, I can do what I want to do. That's the kind of attitude, right? And we kind of see that in, let's take another example. Say, let's take food, for example, right? Food, let's take a popular dish that everybody in the world might know. I don't want to talk about, okay, fine. Let's talk about Biryani, okay? Because Indian, Indian, sorry, guys. So, Biryani is a well-known dish in India, isn't it, guys? So much so, we have so many different regions and each region or each state is known for the way they make Biryani, right? We go to Hyderabad and you talk with any of them from there, they will talk like that, you know, it's like, hey, this is the land of Biryani, okay? Everything else is not Biryani, okay? These are the ingredients. This is how you should do it. This is the principle. This is the method, okay? Everything else, don't even talk about it, right? And then people from Kashmir come into the picture and say, wait, okay, you think Biryani is all spicy? You know, we choose to put apples in it. Yeah, anyways, so, you know, it's like the chef. I'm the chef. I will choose whatever I want to do. I will put whatever I want to do with it, right? So, it's an exception. Is anybody getting an idea of what we're talking about here, right? Italians, pizza, pizza is from Italy, isn't it? It's their dish, right? Cheese, basil and tomato, just these three things make the original pizza, right? And then what happened? Pizza went to America and then all kinds of things happened there. And then what happened? Finally pizza came to India. We put chicken tikka masala on pizza and said, hey, hey, you know, I know that's the principle, but we're going to do what we're going to do with it, okay? Why? Because we can call the shots, isn't it? So, that's basically what's happening here is we have these set of rules. And the set of rules, the rules are very harsh and almost a negative feel to it. But we have a set of principles. And, you know, we're going to study about these seven principles. And time and time again, we will see that how God chooses to function through those principles most of the time. And then also, because he is God and he is sovereign, he will choose to function and move out of those principles, that he is not always only dependent on those principles, okay? So, that's what we're going to learn today, all right? So, the first principle that we see is the will of God. How many times have we covered this in so far in this course, right? Time and time again, we have spoken about the will of God, about his desire to heal people. So, there is no negotiation, there is no debate that we need to have or some sort of an argument that we need to have, okay, is it God's will to heal people? Time and time again, we've seen that, you know, that it is his will to heal people. It is his will. And so, therefore, in the previous chapter, we also see we don't even really have to pray that it's like, Lord, if it is your will, let this person be healed. Because we never say that when a person wants to be saved, when you give an altar call, we don't say, Lord, if it's your will, let this person be saved. It's like, then what's the point of the cross kind of thing, you know? So, we've eliminated that question. So, he eliminated any question about God's will through what he said and did. Okay, Jesus eliminated any question about God's will through what he said and did. Remember, we are talking in this chapter, it's titled Learning. Okay, we are learning, that means you and I are learning to minister healing and deliverance from Jesus, his life and what he went about. Okay, so that's the will of God, right? The first thing we see an example here is that, you know, a leper comes to him and says, okay, if it is your will, right? If it is your will, if you are willing, you can make me clean. And Jesus' simple response was, I am willing, be cleansed. Okay, so time and time again, we see that, okay, he comes to Jesus and he asks, Lord, if it is your will, let me be healed. And this is just one of the examples with everything that we've covered, you know, so far in the class, isn't it? Time and time again, we see that Jesus came to reveal the love of the Father, his true will, that, you know, what we lost in the fall, we strayed away from the original design, right? But it is his will that, that he wants and he loves to see his children be made whole, like the original design. Okay, so he eliminated any question, it's out of the equation, right? The rock solid, let's get it into our heads, into our systems and our hearts, that he is good and it is his will to heal. Okay, that's clear, right? And then we see that he demonstrated that God's will is to heal all who came to him in faith, right? He demonstrated God's will, how, when all who came to him in faith, right? There's so many scriptures that talk about this, okay? That support that statement, that above statement. And you can read all of this, we are all going to go through it all because most of it we've already gone through. And once again, I encourage you, you know, to read those scriptures and reading scriptures, I mean, it's never a waste of time, right guys? So encourage yourself, motivate yourself to and read those scriptures. Okay, so Jesus demonstrated God's will is to heal all who came to him in faith, right? He never sent anyone away with any reason, say, okay, it's not happening, etc. Okay, so those are the two principle functions, so it is his will and he healed all who came to him in faith. Okay, but then, so that's the norm, remember? That's those are the norms. And then we see the exception, yet Jesus did not heal at random, right? While the Lord Jesus healed all who came to him in faith, he did not force the healing on people. But there is this exception, okay? So we see at the pool of Bethesda, there was a crippled man, we all know this story, and he was crippled for 38 years. Okay, so can we all just go to John chapter five, please? Let's go to John chapter five and let's just go through that scripture. Okay, I read it for us. John chapter five verse one, two, nine. Actually, one of you all read it for the class, please? John chapter five verse one, two, nine. Okay, somewhat. John chapter five verse one, two, nine. Jesus went to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals, and there is in Jerusalem near the sheep cave at pool, which is around my, it's called Bethesda, and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here, a great number of disabled people used to lie, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for 38 years, and Jesus saw him lying there, and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time. He asked him, do you want to get burned? Sir, the invalid person replied, I have no one to help me in the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me. Jesus said to him, get up, pick up your mat, and walk. At once, the man was cute. He picked up his mat and walked. Amen. Thank you, Jeffrey. Okay, so we are very familiar with this passage. We know this, right? But why is this an exception? Because when you read the verse three, when we take a look at verse three again, here, a great number of disabled people used to lie. Okay, a great number of disabled people used to lie, the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. Okay, the lame, the paralyzed. And there's a footnote there at the bottom, which is some less important, some less important people. Okay, and so when we see here, I think, Jesus, you know, the obvious question everyone normally we can tend to have is, what about those great number of disabled people there? Great number, right? And we don't necessarily know how many, but we can assume that there were a lot, a lot of people, right? And so Jesus comes to just this one man, and he asks him, are you willing to be healed? And his response also is not very clear. It's like, there is nobody to put me into the pool when the waters are stirred. And so why did Jesus heal this man? Okay, why did Jesus not go to everyone else beside the pool and heal them? Okay, and so we see that it's explained in John chapter five verse 17 to 20. Let's give that a read. So verse 17 to 20, John chapter five, this is what it says, Jesus said to them, my father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working. For this reason, tried all the harder to kill him, not only was he breaking the Sabbath. Okay, this comes to verse 19. Jesus gave them this answer. I tell you the truth, the Son cannot do nothing by Himself. He can do only what he sees the Father doing, because whatever the Father does, the Son also does, right? Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. And verse 20 says, for the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Okay, so it's kind of made clear there that Jesus explained that he did what he saw the Father do, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else as it's mentioned. Okay, so this is the exception. The norm would be for each of them to come and receive by faith. That's the norm. That's the principle. That's what is expected, right? For each of them to come and receive by faith, like the rest of the crowds. Okay, we saw in all of this, how the crowds came to Jesus in faith, right? As we go on in the next principle, other principles will see a lot more examples of that, but that's the norm. And then there are times when he chooses to step out of the norm because he's God and he will do what the Father tells him to do or what the Father has shown him to do. Okay, so that's an example of an exception. So let's look at some of the applications here from the first principle of what we've covered. When people are unsure about the will of God, we bring them to a place where they know that it is God's will to heal. Okay, when people are unsure about the will of God, we bring them. Okay, in other words, we preach or we teach about the will of God. Okay, that it is God's will for them to be healed. We put that seed into their hearts. Okay, it is God's will to heal everyone and so we pray and minister to everyone. Okay, because we know that it is His will to heal everyone, we pray and minister to everyone. Yet, we do not go about randomly or arbitrarily ministering to people, especially when they do not desire healing. Okay, and this is where following the leading of the Holy Spirit and being sensitive to the leading of His voice comes into the picture and all of that is developed in our intimacy with the Lord. Okay, we are tuned in to see what the Father is doing at any moment and do what He is revealing to us. We are tuned in. Okay, simply means we have to be sensitive, tuned in. Right, we tune in. What is a radio do? Okay, of frequency. We are in the right frequency with what God is speaking, what He is sharing, what He is showing, what He is revealing to us and it is so important for us to move in that sensitivity. Okay, so that's the first principle. What is the first principle? It is God's will to heal everyone who comes to Him in faith and yet it doesn't put Him in a box. He will choose to move and it is important for it. Therefore, it is important for us to be sensitive to what God is doing. Okay, now going on to the second principle, the exercise of faith. Exercise of faith. Okay, faith and compassion are possibly the two most important principles in healing ministry. Okay, faith and compassion. So the previous principle is linked to the second principle. Okay, the exercise of faith. Now we know about faith. Okay, we've developed a heart of faith because we've been taught and we've heard that, okay, it is God's will. Now we need to act on, we need to exercise on it. We need to bring that into fruition. That's why we exercise. Okay, it's like we have this blank check in our hands and do nothing about it. We have this absolute gift, like the greatest deal of our lives, which is not even fair in so many levels, we have it and we choose not to deposit it. And we just frame it and put it on a wall and say, wow, you know, we have this blank check and do nothing about it. It is useless. It's worthless, like hanging on a wall with a frame, isn't it? Right, it shows its worth only when you're deposited into a bank. Okay, so that's the exercise of faith. That's what is revealed in this principle. Okay, and the examples used here, you know, where the Roman centurion, for example, who comes to him in faith, right, the choice of words that he uses are incredible, right? When you read his story in Matthew chapter 8 and Luke chapter 7, what does he say, right? He's a Gentile, remember that, right? He's a Roman centurion. He's not a Jew. He comes to him and he says, his daughter needs to be healed. And then Jesus says, you know, I've got stuff to do, but then he's like, I know myself as a man of authority, the power my word carries. Because I'm a man of authority, when I say something, people obey. And so, and he recognizes the authority that Jesus carries and say, he only says, release your word. And then Jesus responds, you know, your faith is great, where your daughter is healed, isn't it? And similarly, all of these examples are taken from there, okay? Where Jesus honors and acknowledges people's faith and he moves, he responds by healing them, okay? So, having said all of that, the exception here, as once again, we see that is, you know, unbelief stopped the flow of God's power. Unbelief is the opposite of faith, isn't it? It kind of ridicules faith, it demeans faith. Okay, unbelief is almost like this condescending attitude. It's like, I know better or seriously. Come on, you know, it's so much in, it's so close to pride. Hey, so it's like borderline pride, almost. Okay. And so we see that unbelief stopped Jesus from, you know, from going about performing miracles. Right? But yet, once again, as an example, as an exception, you know, we have this example of the Man of the Pool of Et cetera, which we just read in John chapter five. It's like, what faith did he have? Right? He didn't have any faith. Right? His response even, didn't show off any faith. Even his response, like we just saw that when Jesus asks him, do you want to be healed, he's like, yeah, but then nobody is there to, you know, put me into the pool. You know, the answer was also confused, you know, but even so, Jesus heals him. Right? Man also who's, to Mark chapter nine or 17 to 29, we also see that example in Matthew chapter 17, Matthew chapter 17, you know, is a man whose son is, is, is oppressed, is most lunatic. He's already encountered the disciples of Jesus. Right? The disciples of Jesus have tried praying for him. It hasn't worked. And so they come to Jesus and Jesus kind of gives a look at his disciples as like you people of little faith. And you know, and it's very interesting what this man responds to the father of the son. He says, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Help my unbelief. You know, and once again, you know, Jesus is moved by that and as an exception. So he, his son is healed. Okay, so exercise of faith is crucial in ministering healing and deliverance. We do our part. That is the norm. That's the principle. It's the right thing to do. Okay, we function and we leave the rest to God. Okay, you do what you can do. You move in faith, you step out and take the risk and then you leave the rest to God. Okay, so the application part of here we see is the minister and receive healing with faith in our hearts. Okay, faith is based on the word of God, as we see it in Romans 10, 17, right? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Faith is present tense. So act now. Okay, there are times when God moves supernaturally through the gifts of healings or the workings of miracles where either the recipient or the minister or sometimes both are not in any great level of faith. Okay, now think about it. You go to a, you know, you go to a house where someone's passed away or someone is dead and you are praying for resurrection. You're praying for that person to come alive again. Right? The person who is dead has no, where is the faith in that equation? Right? Has no faith. You know, we take that risk and we pray for that person to be raised from the dead. That's important, right? But there are also situations where the minister who is praying also has no faith and the person who is being prayed for also has no faith. Have you been, have you ever been in a situation? I have, right? But does that limit God? It does not. Okay, there are times when all you have is a mustard seed of faith. Start with that and God will honor that faith. How does he honor? Why is Abraham known as a father of faith? He was obedient and he stepped out, right? He's obedient and he stepped out. Although everything was not clear. Okay, you know what? You said this. I'm going to cling on to that. I'm going to hold on to that. And then I'm going to step out. Okay. So therefore, step out and minister to people even when you don't sense a great level of faith in yourself or the people being ministered to. Right? This is, this is where our ministry is tested, right? This is where our trust and our obedience, you know, what we believe in is also being tested, isn't it? So I want to encourage you with this point that, you know, most of you are already in a place of leadership. You are already pastors and ministering a place and some of you will eventually be in that place. Or some of you, you don't have to be in a full-time ministry, as we call it, but your place of ministry can be your workplace or the school as a teacher or wherever, manager, team leader in the corporate setting. Okay. Step out in faith. Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't have, you don't fully believe it or not. Put your trust in God. Okay. Simply because God is willing. That is his heart. And so you respond in faith. Exercise your faith. Right? So far. Okay. To the third principle, we move on. We see the flow of compassion. The flow of compassion. Right? In the second point, we saw that faith and compassion are too key, you know, principles when we are moving and healing and deliverance, right? Faith and compassion. So, how many times do we see that, you know, it talks about Jesus being moved with compassion? Compassion. Okay. So the Lord Jesus ministered out of deep compassion for people. Okay. It's two different words, right? Compassion. Okay. There's passion when it comes. So you come with passion. Okay. And so very quickly, yes, you know, when you hear the word passion, what comes to your mind? What is your understanding or your interpretation of the word passion? Okay. You can type your answers. You can on the chat section. Feel free to unmute and speak as it is here as well. When you hear the word passion, what comes to your mind? Zeal. An intense desire. Yeah. Okay. Zeal and intense desire. Thanks, John. Anybody else? Subashish or Jeffina? Go ahead. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I just want to say sincerity. Like, you never want to give up on that. Sincerity. Okay. Is that right, Jeffiny? Did I get that right? Sincerity? Yes. Like, you just never want to give up on that no matter how may struggle. You never want to give up on that. So you never want to give up. Okay. Awesome. Thank you. And Zeal, you mentioned strong desire. Thank you Zeal. What is this? Powerful or compelling emotion? Right. Powerful or compelling emotion? Okay. Planita? Anyone? Subashish? Ruben? Mickey? Compassion? Passion? Aradhana? Swarman? Collins? Sid? What do you think? Rosalind? Passion. Passion. Passion. What comes to your mind? Okay. So yeah, I mean, there's no right or wrong answers, but everything what you've shared is so in line with the word passion. Sincerity, strong desire, Zeal, like John mentioned. Powerful or compelling emotion. But the root word for passion comes from the Latin word. It simply means long suffering. It's so different. So such contrast, isn't it? Long suffering, right? The last week of Jesus' life, the week that builds up to the cross is known as the passion week. Right? That means it talks about this long suffering that he had to endure. Right? And so, and that's what, that's what compassion is all about. Right? And you see that Jesus keeps saying that, you know, he was moved with compassion when he saw the monkey tubes in Matthew 9. He was moved with compassion time and time and time again. He was moved with compassion and healed the leper. He had compassion and he healed the blind man. Right? He was moved with compassion out of compassion. He delivered the demon possessed boy. Right? Right? And so, and then, like, I remember those are, those are all the norm, but then yet there are certain scenarios, some scenarios in the Bible that's mentioned, but it doesn't seem like he had any compassion. It seems like that, but yet he healed. Right? A couple of those examples, for example, here Jesus was angered and grieved with the people in the house and he still proceeded to heal the paralyzed man. Okay? Let's actually go to Mark chapter 3. Let's see, Mark chapter 3 verse 1 to 5. Okay? Mark chapter 3 verse 1 to 5, it says another time he went into the synagogue, so that's where he is, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with a shriveled hand, stand up in front of everyone. When Jesus asked them, which is lawful on the Sabbath, to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill, but they remained silent. He looked around at them in anger and deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, stretch out your hand, stretch it out, and his hand was completely restored. Okay? So that's just one of the examples. Now, he was, he still had compassion towards the man, but then he was not in that zone or in that happy mood, I guess, because of the people around him. Right? Because they were, God, Jesus knew that what their intentions were, that he was being watched. Okay, let's see what he's going to do now. You know, that other scenario is the conversation between Jesus and the Canaanite woman, right? It doesn't really seem to be very compassionate. The whole dialogue doesn't seem to be, you know, very compassionate, but yet Jesus is moved by the faith of the woman and the doctor is healed. Right? So those are the exceptions. We see compassion is key, right? And when it comes to us, I mean, okay, let's just look at these applications and, you know, it says we must increase in compassion for the sick, hurting, and oppressed. Okay? There is emotional suffering involved in the healing ministry. I don't see that emotional suffering. Okay? So compassion, passion simply means long suffering, right? Involved in the healing ministry as you feel compassion for the people who are sick and hurting. Okay? And here, when you come down here, it says there will be times when you as a minister have no deep feeling of compassion. And yet God, because he is compassionate, uses you to bring healing to someone. Okay? There will be times. Okay? Let's imagine you have 50 people lined up for prayer, for healing. Okay? You're the only guy, person who's standing there praying. You'll be full of zeal and compassion and all full, you know, energetic. I say for the first 10 people, but then there are 40 more in the line, right? And you realize suddenly it's like, okay, no, I don't think I have the energy. I need some Red Bull now, you know, to give me wings. But there will be times, right? We've got to be practical and realistic about it, right? You are going to feel like, okay, you know, I just don't seem to feel it. But we continue to pray and release healing because we know that if one, it is God's will for them to be healed. And then because he is compassionate, right? Because he too, he is full of compassion. He will use you to bring healing to someone. Amen? So we see that Jesus was moved with compassion time and time again. He was moved emotionally. We see him that he groaned and he wept, you know, when you read these scriptures. He wanted to see people being healed. Okay? So that's what flowing in the compassion is all about. So we've covered three principles so far in this chapter, okay? And we pause here and we take a quick 10 minute break and we come back and resume from there. Okay? I'll stop the recording now and go for your break. Thanks guys, and I'll see you.
