Foundation Of Faith - Pt 2 (Divine Healing)

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests His word and nourishes our spirits.

[0:12] May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed. Say divine health is my portion.

[0:22] It's my portion. Listen, one of the fundamental requirements for faith to work in someone's life is what you say. So faith can work if no one is talking.

[0:35] Because the source of faith is the word of God. So word must go out. So when word comes, someone must speak the word that has come. That's why sometimes we say things like, say it.

[0:48] That's why sometimes some smart spiritual people say, amen. Because you are connecting your word based on what you say. Bible says that be it unto you according to your faith.

[1:01] Even salvation, you can't be saved if you don't say. It says, for we believe with the heart and with the mouth. Confession is made unto salvation. So if you don't confess, you will land unto it.

[1:13] Romans chapter 10 verse 9. So we believe. Your heart can be full of belief. Oh, I believe, I believe. It's not enough. Unless it results in what you say. It can't help you.

[1:26] Salvation is based on what we say. Praise the Lord. Alright. So God can't help us without faith. Now I want you to say that healing. Say healing.

[1:36] Healing. Is my right. Is my right. In Christ Jesus. In Christ Jesus. Healing. Healing. Is my portion. Is my portion. In Christ Jesus. In Christ Jesus. Good health.

[1:46] Good health. Sound health. Sound health. Is my covenant portion. In Christ Jesus. Amen. Amen. Health is what God has blessed us with.

[1:59] Healing is like recovery program. You are being brought from a state into a health. A state of not being in good health. Into a state of being in good health. Okay.

[2:09] So when you are sick. It's not a sign that God is against you. It's not a sign that you don't have faith. Okay. Sickness is not always a sign that someone does not have faith.

[2:21] Let's get that right. It's very important. It's not a sign that you don't have faith. It's not a sign that God is not with you. Alright. But then it's a sign that if you believe God. You can move from that state to a better state.

[2:33] Which is health. Alright. So you don't need to be sick. In order to enjoy health. You have to believe God. That you can walk in divine health.

[2:44] Right. Now but if you are sick. According to Jeremiah chapter 8. Verse 22. He said. I like that scripture so much. Some of you old school guys. You will like it. What does it say? One more time.

[2:59] One more time. And he says. Is there no physician there? Why? Why then? Is there no recovery for the health of the daughters of my people? So your health can come under attack.

[3:11] But because there is. Bam! In Gilead. God is a healing God. Say amen. Amen. Yes. God heals. Jesus Christ heals us.

[3:21] So he came to save us. Now once you are saved. Healing is part of your benefits. In Hebrews. Bible says. I like this text. Hebrews talks about how. He is also able to save to the Atomos.

[3:33] Hebrews. He is able to save us completely. He is able. Say he is able. Hebrews 7.25. Therefore he is also able to save to the Atomos. Do you know what it means?

[3:44] He is saving you completely. He is saving you absolutely. It is not a partial salvation. But it is a comprehensive cover. So he said.

[3:55] He is able. Also able to save to the Atomos. Those who come to God. Through him. Since he is always living to make intercession for you. Your health is covered.

[4:05] Sir my health is covered. My health is covered. Oh my God. Your health is covered in Christ. What do you mean that I am born again. But he can't heal me. The devil is a liar. Romans chapter 8 verse 32.

[4:17] He said that if he did not spare his only son. But give him up freely for us all. How much more will you not also give us. With him. He is giving you Jesus.

[4:30] Why can't he give you health. You know what Jesus is healing. He himself. He is our healing. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Listen. If you are not feeling well. Know that there is a package and a portion of healing for you.

[4:45] He said. Is there no balm. In Gilead. Is there no physician. Why are my daughters. My daughters. My people sick. The devil is a liar.

[4:56] I see someone receiving healing now. I see someone receiving healing now. Now may I submit to you. If you are a bit old. Or matured. You must have discovered that by now.

[5:07] That. It is not every sickness. Doctors can heal. Watch this. So if you are born again. You are part of the covenant. Covenant. Covenant.

[5:19] Entitlement. You come into. Is good health. If you become born again. Or when you are born again. Or if you become born again. It is covenant.

[5:31] Covenant. Entitlement. That comes with it. Covenant health. Is your entitlement. Sometimes. If you don't know. You don't cash in. But what if.

[5:41] I am born again. And I am sick. There is power. There is healing. In the name of Jesus. Alright. So there is healing. In Jesus name. For you. If you look through the scriptures.

[5:53] Very carefully. There are several places. People were sick. And they were prayed for. And they were made healed. Alright. So now. I want to. Okay. Romans chapter 8 verse 11. Talks about. If the spirit.

[6:03] That raised Christ from the dead. Dwells in you. Then that spirit. Will quicken your mortal body. Your mortal body. Is physical body. This body. That is. Is created.

[6:14] That dies. The mortal body. He will raise Christ from the dead. Will also give life. To your mortal bodies. King James. Uses. He will also. Quicken. Physical body.

[6:25] So it comes with. Physical benefits. Hallelujah. Now. When you come to the issue of communion. In 1 Corinthians chapter 10. When Paul was dealing with. People not.

[6:36] Taking. The communion. Seriously. He said something that. Some of you. Do this. And that is why. He said some of. That's why some are sick. And die. Alright. So that means that.

[6:48] Even the communion. There are spiritual activities. That can guarantee healing. And health. Do you understand that? Alright. But I want to focus more on. Health. What are the things that you do.

[7:00] To enjoy. Divine health. On a constant basis. Divine health. Is your portion. Is what.

[7:11] Your covenant right. Says my covenant right. Divine health is yours. And so then. Why is it that some people fall sick. Even though we are born again. That's why I'm talking about.

[7:21] These things. There are things you can do. To keep your health intact. Got it. Got it. Got it. Good. So. There are things you can do. To keep your health intact. I want to tell you.

[7:32] Four quickly. Number one. Who can tell me. If you want to keep. Being in good health. These are not strange things. The same things you know already. I'm going to just give you. The things you know already.

[7:42] You said covenant practice. You said covenant practice. Yes. Steadying the word of God. Wow. That's a powerful one. Yes. Healthy eating. Let's all repeat what she said.

[7:55] Healthy eating. You see. So healthy eating is. It's just rational. For everyone alive. If you don't eat healthily. You will die quickly.

[8:07] That's right. In spite of what Jesus has done on the cross. If you don't eat healthily. You will die what? Quickly. Quickly. Oh. Health is my portion.

[8:19] And you are just downloading. All kinds of junk into your system. The things others don't want to eat. They say. Oh. Hold on. Leave it. I'll come. Leave it for me. Everything in the house. No food goes waste.

[8:30] Because your body is there. But. The point here is that. Brothers and sisters. If you don't. If you don't check what you eat. You will suffer unnecessarily.

[8:40] So long as your health is concerned. Say diet. Diet. How many of you have discovered that. You know what. That's what I don't want most of us to go through. And I'm working on this here.

[8:51] So I don't. So I don't have to go through it. People get to a certain age. And they realize. Oh. I can't eat this. I can't eat this. I can't eat this. I don't have to eat this. Because you've eaten a lot of it. It's not affected.

[9:02] You are. You someone. You go somewhere. They ask you for tea. You say. Oh. I want eight sugars. Five sugars. Oh. And they say. Oh no. It's not too much. I say. Hey. Me anything. Bring it on. I can't eat anything. I can't eat anything. I mean.

[9:13] All those things. And then. When you finish eating. You say. As for my stomach. It doesn't know whether it's night or day. We are supposed to eat to live.

[9:25] But many people. Are eating to die. Because. Doctors will check. What have you been eating? And God has packaged a lot of blessing.

[9:37] Into natural things. So. If you don't eat well. There are certain types of food. If you keep eating them. On a regular basis. Brother and sister. There's no guarantee. For good health.

[9:49] There's no guarantee. To have good health. For a long time. Diet. Say diet. That way you don't have to be born again. If you get it right. At least. There is a certain level. Of enjoyment.

[9:59] Health. Enjoyment. You will have. But it does not guarantee. It doesn't guarantee. Comprehensive. Sound health. Because some people. Are dieting very well. And they are also dying quickly.

[10:13] So it's not just diet. Now. Do you understand? So don't just say that. It's just diet. Diet. You have to be careful. About what you eat. And what you download. In your system. You may say that.

[10:24] My friend has eaten. And nothing happens. So me to occur. You never know your case. Hello. One. Is what? Diet. Healthy eating. Number two. First Timothy chapter four.

[10:36] Verse seven and eight. You should know that. Someone said it earlier. First Timothy chapter four. Verse seven and eight. Look at verse seven. It said. Reject profane and old wife. Profanity there. Is not vulgarity.

[10:47] Profanity there. Is anything that. That despises spirituality. Profanity there. Okay. Okay. Like. Is so what is so. And exercise yourself unto godliness. This is just a bonus. Because I love to read the text.

[10:58] Now. My actual text is verse eight. Let's look at the text. Because it says that. Bodly exercise. Eh. That's what? Profanity. Okay. I want you to read up to.

[11:09] The first line. And leave the eh. Eh. There. We want to read the first line. Does it make sense? Yes. Let's read it out loud. For godly exercise. Profanity. Good.

[11:19] Let's read it again. For godly exercise. Let's all say. Bodly exercise. Profanity. For godly exercise. One more time. For godly exercise.

[11:31] Read it louder please. For godly exercise. For godly exercise. Praise God. So that's what the Bible says. Bible says that. Bodly exercise. Profanity. But. Relatively. Yeah.

[11:41] It's profit. It's far less. So. That is a comparative state language. But the truth is that. The truth of the fact is. Bodily exercise.

[11:51] Profits. I think scientists have said that. If you exercise regularly. You. You extend your life by 15 years. Exercise. Just simple exercise.

[12:03] Simple exercise. Walking. Going. Jogging. You have to exercise. You have faith. And then right. Sometimes you are getting up. And your bones like. Old dust.

[12:14] Arr. Arr. It has not got anything to do with age. It has everything to do with exercise. Exercise. Because of exercise.

[12:25] You are not guaranteeing your good health. Exercise. Exercise. Will give you some leverage. When it comes to. Soundness of health. I hear that.

[12:36] People who exercise regularly. The health experts. Say. That. Um. Certain sicknesses. Don't really attack you easily. Even if you exercise regularly.

[12:46] Diabetes. Is not easy to attack. Hold you down. And a lot of others. But if you don't exercise. The cholesterol builds in your system. Sugar levels build in your system.

[12:58] And it's not good. So. Why are you teaching these things? Yes. Is the truth which a lot of people. They want to shortcut. So. Short circuit. The path God has given us.

[13:09] But I need to tell someone. That if you want to. I discovered. If you want to have. Longevity. In soundness of health. You need to exercise. You need to. You need to eat well.

[13:20] Okay. Having said that. Some people have been eating very well. They only eat vegetables. They don't even eat anything with blood. Vegetables. A lot of it.

[13:31] When they wake up. Vegetables and fruits every day. But when you look at them. You can tell that. They're still. Not as healthy as me. All right.

[13:42] And it's very important. So. But then. I discovered. Now. Spiritual people. This is where. Now we lift up the bar. We have an upper hand. Over people who are not born again. That's what I'm going to show you now.

[13:53] So. Once you are. You are exercising. And you are eating well. The next thing. That will guarantee. I discovered. That will guarantee. Covenant health. Is consecration.

[14:08] Say consecration. Consecration. That's right. What do you mean. Consecration. Look at Ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 8. Let's read it all together.

[14:20] Let's go. He who digs a pit. Will fall into it. And whoever breaks. Through a wall. Will be beaten by a serpent. Uh-uh. King James talks about.

[14:31] He who breaks the hedge. If you break the hedge. Protection. The wall. Of protection. If you break it. The serpent is waiting. When Balaam.

[14:43] Was hired by Balaam. To go and curse. The people of Israel. And he would curse. That thing would turn into blessing. He would curse. And it would turn into blessing. He would curse. And it would turn into blessing. He said. I can't do anything about it anymore.

[14:55] He said. Because God has not beheld. Iniquity in Israel. People. When there is not. There is not iniquity. In our. In your system. And in your life.

[15:06] Sin can. Sorry. Sickness can lay hold of easily. Because sickness. Is of the devil. In John chapter. Um.

[15:17] John chapter 9. Verse 1. Actually yeah. John chapter 9. Verse 2. But let's read it. Verse 1 and 2. Now. As Jesus passed by. He saw a man. Who was blind from birth.

[15:28] Did you see that? Blind from birth. Now look at his disciples. Who were spiritually minded. Sensible guys. Look at their reaction. Consider. Listen to what they said. Verse 2.

[15:39] Verse 2. And his disciples asked him. Rabbi. Who sinned? This man or his parents. That he was born blind. Did you realize what they were thinking?

[15:50] They knew. It was a common knowledge. That there is a correlation. Between sin and sickness. That is what Bible says. That bless the Lord my soul. Who forgives your iniquities. And heals all your diseases.

[16:01] Please. Watch the sins that is knocking at your door. Because that will give the devil an access way. To attack you the way he wants to. He may not be able to kill you.

[16:12] But then. When there are weakness in the world. Crevices in the world. The enemy comes through those weaknesses. Many people don't have him realize that. So we are born again.

[16:24] We are enjoying God. But we feel. We sound every now and then. Because. Anyway. I sinned. I won't go to hell. Possibly. And so. We just. Leave any hell. But you don't know that. It opens the door. For the enemies.

[16:35] For the enemy to attack. Look at James chapter 5. Verse 15. It's a very interesting text. I want you to notice something. That the scriptures say. James chapter 5.

[16:46] Verse what? 15. He says that. Verse 14 says that. Is any amongst you. Is any amongst you what? Is any amongst you what? Sick. Alright.

[16:56] So. So watch this. That means that they come. They amongst you. Amongst which people? Is it amongst human beings? Amongst the believers. Any amongst you sick. Let him call the elders of the church.

[17:10] And let them pray over him. Anoint him with oil. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Did you see that? So. I'm sick. Why did he say that? Take him to the doctor.

[17:21] So. This kind of. There are certain kinds of sickness. That really require. Not only medical attention. It also requires. Some spiritual attention. And go to the next verse.

[17:32] Verse 15. Look at it. It's very interesting. He said. And the prayer of what? So prayer. Will save the sick. Ha. No. That save there. Is not salvation for heaven.

[17:43] It's talking about. Save him from the sick situation. Alright. And so. That the prayer of faith. Will save the sick. Is medication that saves the sick. Hello.

[17:57] And look at the next verse. And the Lord will raise him up. Let's read the last part together. Let's go. And if he has committed sins. He will forgive him. There is a connection.

[18:07] A possible connection. With sin. And sickness. I discovered that. Spiritual brother. Spiritual sister. You are so much on fire.

[18:18] You love God. You love Jesus. And the enemy can attack you. But if. There is a. You make it. You create the gap. You create the way. By whatever you call sin.

[18:29] And you allow yourself. To be indulging in it. Comfortably. God will forgive me. And then you go again. Say. Oh God. I know. You know. I'm struggling to give me the bad. Please forgive me again.

[18:40] I will go tomorrow again. God will forgive. The Bible says. That a man will reap. What his souls. I don't like the way. It starts. It said. Don't be deceived. For God is not mocked. I don't like that.

[18:51] It's not friendly. It doesn't sound friendly. It's not user friendly. Galatians chapter 6 verse 7. It said. Don't be deceived. God is not mocked. Then it says. Whatever you.

[19:02] Anyone. A man's souls. He shall reap. So. That means that. If you don't reap. That God is being mocked. It's not. It's not a nice scripture. But it's the. It's the truth.

[19:14] Hello. So. Sort out that thing. That keeps tempting you. To fall into sin. Because. The repercussion. It's cool. It could open the door. For the enemy. To attack your health.

[19:25] So that. Watch this. So that. That covenant health. You're supposed to be. Permanently walking in. Becomes questionable. Or becomes. Undermind. Do you understand what I'm saying? It's the truth.

[19:37] There is a correlation. Between. Sin. And sickness. In the book of. John chapter. 5. Verse 14. It's quite an interesting text.

[19:48] John 5. 14. And he found him. In the temple. And said to him. See. You have been made well. Sin no more. Less aware. Ah. Who said that?

[19:59] Everything Jesus said. Is in red. It's called red letter edition. Buy some Bibles like that. Okay. It can help. Now. If you have it. You see that. That statement. Is in red.

[20:10] Jesus said it. In fact. We can tell. Jesus. After all. Finding the temple. And Jesus said to him. Oh. You have been well now. Good. He said. Go and sin no more. Less. A worst thing will come on you.

[20:23] Why should Jesus say that? Because there is a direct correlation. Between. Sin. And sickness. Hello. So. Now.

[20:33] I'm not saying. Watch this. Watch this. Please. Let's get this right. Some people are so spiritual. To understand that. Unless they don't see you are. Having headaches. You are not feeling well. They say you have been sinning.

[20:45] Please. Never judge. And conclude. Why someone is not well. Even you. The believer. Is not healthy. To be saying that. I'm not well. Because I went.

[20:56] I fell into sin. It's not healthy. To think like that. Because then the devil. Can capitalize on that. And let you know that you. You have to suffer. You can't be healed. And then it becomes. It begins to undermine.

[21:07] The efficacy of your faith. All right. So. I hardly will say that. Someone is sick. Because of sick sins. But. We can tell from scriptures. That sin will open the door.

[21:19] For sickness. So. So. So. Then if you want to enjoy. Longevity. Of covenant health. Then we have to check. That area of sin. Check it. Deal with it. Watch it.

[21:30] Watch it. Watch it. It's going to open the door. Of sickness. Watch it. I'm not saying. Every sickness. Jesus even proved it. In John chapter 9. That it says that. It's not them. It's not.

[21:40] None. The disciples. As who sin. Jesus said. No. It's not him. Nor his parents. But for the glory of God. So it's not every sickness. That is. Has sin. Behind it. So leave that sister alone.

[21:51] Leave that brother alone. Stop saying that they must be sinning. They should confess to you. There's something they are hiding. They should confess to you. Leave them alone. And mind your own. Anytime the enemy wants to strike at you.

[22:05] And he's not finding any way. He'll find some temptation to come. One of the things that opens the door very fast. Is sexual sins. Hmm. Say hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

[22:16] You don't feel well in your body. Every day you come for. Prayer line. We pray. And then when you go. You go and open the door.

[22:28] The enemy come. The enemy come. And we pray again. And then we begin to drive the enemy. He's driving back. We are trying to drive and close the tunnel. But you two you have left it. So we are driving. And then later on.

[22:39] You go. And then he comes. And then every time. Brother. Maybe. Maybe. This. This thing that you have been doing. Maybe it's affecting you.

[22:50] Yeah. Maybe it's affecting you. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that's the cause. But since we don't know the cause. And we know that these things. Can open doors for your health to come under attack.

[23:00] Then why don't you check that one. And then later. If you have checked it. And everything is tight. Then you can. And the thing still persists. It says that. If symptoms still persists. Consult your doctor David.

[23:15] Shout hallelujah. I think we should know these things. Because the devil wants to kill you. He came to steal, kill, and destroy.

[23:27] And so once. Bible says in the book of Ephesians chapter 4. Verse 27. It says. Give the devil no food store. If you give him one food store. He will take your whole house. So don't give him access.

[23:40] Okay. Sexual sins. Say sexual sins. Bible says that he who commit. Enters in sexual sins. Against his own body. No. Your body itself.

[23:51] You are bringing your body under. A necessary challenge. What again can you do to your body. Apart from illness. And then. Unforgiveness and bitterness.

[24:03] They open the door for sickness very easily. That's also. Unforgiveness. Bitterness. Is lack of consecration. A consecrated person.

[24:14] Deals with the spirit of unforgiveness. And bitterness. Is somebody learning something. A consecrated person. Deals with unforgiveness. And bitterness.

[24:26] He will say. Have to be. This thing they have done against me. Even when you are asleep. I can't let go. And the thing is killing you.

[24:36] You sit there and say. I can't let go. Ha. Ha. Ha. It's. You are. You are. You are. Your age. Your face has wrinkled about. 15 times your age. Because you are so bitter.

[24:47] In life. It will change the texture of your sins. How many of you ladies and gentlemen. Are aware. That when you are under pressure. And depressed. It affects. Your skin texture. Yeah.

[24:59] How many of you agree with me. That good health is nice. Yeah. I don't know how many of you. Have been sick before. Some of you don't look like. You have ever been sick. But I have before. And I hate sickness.

[25:11] I don't like sickness. Nice food. You can't even eat. Oh. Oh. Is it true? You can't even eat. No. The nurses here will tell you. When you are a nurse. And you are in the hospital.

[25:21] When people are in the hospital. People are sick. One of the signs of health. That they are recovering. Is they begin to. Do their hair. They begin to use their mirror. So.

[25:33] Sickness. I don't like sickness. So I need to do something. About this whole thing. We all get tempted by sin. We all get tempted by sin. But I discovered. If I don't deal with it. You can be preaching faith.

[25:43] And your health is not secured. Because the devil has found. A loophole. And he is using it. He is using it. From tonight. Jesus said. In John chapter 5 verse 14. Go.

[25:54] And sin no more. In John chapter 8 verse 7. 10. He says that. Where are all your accusers? He said. Me too. I don't accuse you. But go. And sin no more. Go.

[26:04] And sin no more. Tell somebody. I think God is talking to you and I. Am I saying something spiritually sensible?

[26:15] And then finally. Number 4. What's number 1? Diet. Diet. Number 2? Exercise. Number 3? Construation.

[26:26] And number 4. Faith. Oh yes. I mean. You can't receive from God without faith. So Jesus has done it for us.

[26:38] It's all available for us. It's part of the covenant package. But you ain't going to enjoy it. You can't enjoy it outside of faith. Okay. Bible talks about he being the utter and the finisher of our faith.

[26:50] Our faith starts and it ends. So from beginning to the end. It's all faith. They just shall live. By what? So how come you want to work in health?

[27:04] If you are not going to do it by faith. And any later. I'm about to die. I'm about to die. I'm about to die. I. No.

[27:15] The devil is alive. But please. Before you begin to say the devil. I cannot be sick. Make sure you check the same door. And check your mouth door. The things you are eating. Check that door.

[27:27] And then. Add some exercise. Okay. Add some exercise. But exercise is not the big thing. Depending on your age actually. But when you cross some age. Please.

[27:37] If you don't exercise. You just become weak. That's actually. Lack of exercise makes you weaker. And weaker. And you become a weaker vessel. But the point I'm making is that.

[27:48] Anointing flows through a healthy vessel. So the weaker you are. You pray a little bit. You are tired. You are praying for people. You are preaching. And. Praise the Lord.

[28:05] By God I'm talking about. So it's necessary to know that. That if you don't exercise. Your body will be weaker. And it's not. Faith. Shout out faith. In James chapter 5.

[28:16] Verse 15. He says that. And let them pray over him. And the prayer. All the same. Prayer or faith gets their job done.

[28:28] Not just prayer. Healing goes with faith. Healing goes with faith.

[28:38] In Matthew chapter 8. From verse 8 to 13. A man came to Jesus. Sancturion. He said my servant. My daughter. My servant lies home. About to die.

[28:49] And Jesus said. I'm going to come home with you. He said Jesus don't come home. Hey. Don't come home. I'm a man under authority. And I said to this one. Go. And he goes. I said this one.

[28:59] Come. And he comes. So I know you are. You have the power. Only speak the word. Matthew 8. 8. He told him. Only speak the word. And my servant. Lord.

[29:10] I'm not worthy that you should come under my roof. But only speak the word. And my servant. Speak the word is enough. The word is enough. Do you know why he said that?

[29:21] Do you know why he said that? Go to the next verse. Let me show you something. Go to verse 10. Verse 10. Let me show you something. When Jesus said it. He marveled. And he said. To those who follow. Surely. I said. I've never found such. What? That was definition of faith.

[29:34] Faith was at work. Jesus said. That is faith. Faith said that. Don't come. Don't come home. I'll be. My servant will be whole. Did you see that? So faith.

[29:45] Is not looking for pity. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 14. That you no longer be children. Tossed to and fro. By every wind of doctrine. And it talks about the lies by which the lie were to deceive.

[30:00] Paul said. When I was a child. I thought like a child. First Corinthians chapter 13 verse 11. When I was a child. I thought like a child. I spoke like a child. I raised a lie. But when I became a man. I put away childish things.

[30:12] So in first Corinthians chapter 14. I think someone 21. He said. When it comes to. When it comes to sin. You have to be children. But when it comes to. What do you call it? Righteousness.

[30:22] And. It says that. We adults. So don't be. Jesus said. Unless you embrace. The kingdom like a child. There is a difference between childishness. And child likeness.

[30:34] Childishness is negative. Child likeness is positive. Positive willingness to embrace. God's word. Without suspicion. That's child likeness. And so Jesus said.

[30:45] Unless you embrace the kingdom. Like a child. Like these children. You will not see God's blessing. Or something like that. But childishness is negative. Not growing.

[30:57] Any. Throwing tantrums. Anything. I can upset you. Any little thing. That is. I'm not even going to church again. This is not working. I fasted. I fasted. I fasted. I fasted. That shows that you are not growing. Who told you.

[31:09] Fasting is a cure all. He didn't hear what I said. Fasting works powerfully. But. Some of the results that you have secured by fasting.

[31:20] You may not see immediately. He's waiting for an appointed time. Abraham. If he didn't grow up. When God told him. Years ago. I'm going to give you a son. He would have given up.

[31:30] Because. He. Crossed every barrier. Physical barrier. I realized that. To the extent. The Bible says. His body. Now was now dead. Even if his own. Was only dead. That would have him. They have some.

[31:40] But his wife. Also. This. Womb. Was also gone. Say faith. Faith. It takes. Jesus said. I've not seen. So great faith.

[31:50] Because the man had faith. He said. You don't need to come to my house. Pastor doesn't need to step in your house. Every time. Pastor has never come to my house. As for me. He's been going here. Pastor has never come to your house.

[32:02] It's nice. If I can come to your house. We are family. But please. Let's not put the. Cats before the horse. Let's not major on the minors. Let's minor on the majors. Right.

[32:13] So say faith. Faith. The Bible says. The prayer of faith. Will heal the sick. Say the prayer of faith. Will heal the sick. Prayer of faith. The man came to Jesus. He said. Don't come to my house.

[32:24] Just speak the word. Faith was a demonstration. So Jesus said. And guess what. In the verse 13. I think so. In the verse 13. Let's look at the verse 13. Of that text. 13. The Bible says that. Then Jesus said. To the Savior.

[32:34] Go your way. As you have believed. So let it be done for you. And the servant was healed. When? The servant. Jesus had not met him.

[32:45] The man had not gone back home. But when. Because of his faith. Jesus said. As you have believed. So shall it be for you. There's a connection. Between your healing. Or your health.

[32:55] And your faith. You walk in. Now. In Matthew chapter 9. Verse 27 to 29. The Bible. Gives us.

[33:07] Some blind people. Blind men. They heard Jesus was passing. And they began to make noise. This one is not blind. But in miles. So verse 27.

[33:18] When Jesus departed from there. Two blind men followed him. Crying out. Saying. Son of David. Have mercy on us. And when he had come into the house. The blind men came to him.

[33:30] And Jesus said to them. Do you believe. Did you see that? Do you believe. That I am able to do this? Do you believe. You are in church. You follow Jesus to the house.

[33:41] Do you believe. That I am able to do this? Yes. The doctor said it. But do you believe. I am able to do this? Do you believe. Do you see what I am saying?

[33:52] So it starts with. Faith is foundation. Faith is foundation. They came. They were following. The making. Ah Jesus. Ah Jesus. Ah Jesus. He. I think he didn't mind them.

[34:03] He went to the house. They came into the house. So. They followed him to the house. And then Jesus Christ. When he sat down. He said to them. Do you believe. That I am able to do this?

[34:16] And then they said. I like King James. King James said. Yeah Lord. And the same thing. Yes Lord. Say yes Lord. Yes Lord. Somebody say yes Lord. Yes Lord. Do you believe Jesus is able to help you?

[34:26] Yes Lord. Say yes Lord. Yes Lord. I am not the Lord. Okay. You are saying it to Jesus. Like in Mark chapter 9. You don't have to turn it to. Let's stay on this one. But Mark chapter 9 verse 23. Verse 21, 22, 23.

[34:37] Jesus asked the man. And the man said. Lord if you can do it. To heal myself. Jesus said. Jesus said. If you believe. All things are possible. That's verse 23. And then verse 24. The man said. Lord I believe. Then he remembered. Maybe he didn't believe.

[34:48] Probably he said. Lord help my unbelief. That's Mark chapter 9. Verse 23 and 24. All right. So. It's very important to appreciate the fact that.

[34:59] Believing in God. Is foundational. The devil will attack your belief. You attack your confidence in God. You see. Did God say. Now you shouldn't eat from this fruit.

[35:12] God is lying. He doesn't want you to. You know. Most of these pastors that have come. They just want to collect your money. I don't even know why you should. Give him tithe. Look at your condition. Your life is so tight.

[35:22] Why do you have to tithe? This thing is not going at all for you. I know God will understand. The devil. He's talking to you. He's talking to you. He's talking.

[35:33] Rikitama demoni. Rikitama. Cast the devil out of your presence. Jesus told the devil. Get me behind me. Satan. You must know when the devil is talking to you.

[35:45] You must know. And that is what spiritual maturity does. And spiritual maturity doesn't come just with time. It comes with application of the. With the word. Application. Applying yourself to the word you have heard.

[35:55] Bible says in Hebrews chapter 5. That by reason of use. Verse 12. From verse 12. Who by reason of use. Have their senses exercised to discern. Between both good and evil. So you. First of all.

[36:06] You need sound teaching. That will point you in the right direction. That is why. Who teaches you. Defines what kind of exam you can pass. Have you noticed that? Whoever teaches you.

[36:17] Defines what kind of exam you pass. Hallelujah. Praise God. Let's go to the point I was talking about. In Mark chapter.

[36:27] Matthew chapter 9. Verse 28. So Jesus told the blind man. Do you believe that I can heal you? He said. Yeah. Lord. Go to the next verse. Listen to what Jesus said. Let's read it together. Then he touched their eyes.

[36:39] Say. According to your faith. Let it be done. Did you see that? He touched them. From the text we read. Their healing was not based on their touch. It's based on their belief and their faith.

[36:53] Because if you have to touch them. You have to ask whether you believe before. Let's touch them. For instance. If I have oil in my hands. And I want your forehead to be oily. Do I have to ask you. If you believe I touch it to be oily.

[37:05] You know what I'm saying. Yeah. Just touch it too. Okay. So. But. So it's not based on just the touch. The touch was a point of contact. But the actual healing was based.

[37:15] Jesus said. Be it unto you. According to what? Your faith. Not according to my touch. There are different touches in the Bible. In Mark chapter 5. There's a woman who came. And the Bible says that.

[37:26] Verse 27. She touched. She said to herself. If I can. But Mark chapter 5. Verse 27. If I can only but touch. She was sick. I'm showing people who are sick in the Bible.

[37:36] Who faith got them well. There's a correlation between faith and sound health. Amen. Amen. Bible says that. For she said. If only I may touch his clothes.

[37:47] The hem of his garments in King James. I shall be made well. She said to herself. She believed it. And then the verse 29 says. What does she say? Verse 29. That immediately. The fountain of blood was dried up.

[37:59] She did that. The blood dried. For 12 years. Blood was flowing constantly. As soon as she touched him. The blood dried up. And she felt in her body. That she was healed of her affliction.

[38:12] I feel. I believe. Someone is feeling your body. You are healed of your affliction. In the name of Jesus. She felt in her body. She was healed of her afflictions. Go to the next verse.

[38:23] Verse 30. And Jesus immediately knowing in himself. That power had gone out. Turned around. In the crowd. Where? In the crowd. He was amongst a lot of people. He turned around.

[38:34] In the crowd. He said. Who touched my clothes? Oh. Give me a break. For heaven's sake. In the crowd. You are asking. Who touched your clothes? And then. Go to the next verse. Bible says that.

[38:46] But his disciples said to him. You see the multitude thronging you. And yet you say. Who touched me? Look at the normal people around you. So many people around you.

[38:57] Everyone wants to have a piece of you. They are excited about you. It's like celebrity. Walking in town. Without bodyguards. And people are touching you. Oh. Autograph. And they are asking. Who touched me? Now.

[39:08] That's what happened. So disciples. Never could understand. The question. They were wondering. Master. Are you okay? Jesus said. A lot of people are touching.

[39:20] But there's one touch. That had faith behind it. Faith. Faith draws. Many people can be touching. But only a few will be drawing. Many people are touching.

[39:33] They are seated here right now. But only a few are drawing. Because you can only draw by faith. So somebody drew something out of you. Pulled out.

[39:44] Extracted. She literally extracted it from Jesus. Without authorization. When you have faith. You don't need any further authorization. You didn't hear what I said.

[39:56] Hallelujah. So. What I'm trying to prove to us all. Is that there's a direct relationship. With the health you enjoy. And the faith you walk in. And then. Jesus said.

[40:08] Let's finish that text. I need to finish the text. So we can end on that. His disciples said to him. You see the multitude thronging you. And you say. Who touched me? Go to the next verse.

[40:18] Verse 32. And then. And he looked around to see. Hey. Who had done this. Do you realize he ignored the disciples? He ignored them. They are lecturing him.

[40:29] Giving him. Intellectual. All kinds of reasons why. He ignored them. Because he knew. See. They missed what he was talking about. But he knew. So.

[40:39] After. He started looking around. Who did this? But the woman realized. She couldn't hide anymore. Go to the verse 33. The woman realized. She couldn't hide anymore. The next verse. She realized. She couldn't hide anymore. But the woman.

[40:50] Fearing and trembling. Knowing that. Knowing what had happened to her. Came and fell before him. And told him the whole truth. I will admit. This is what I've been through.

[41:01] Why are you sitting on your testimony? Come and tell us the whole truth. Amen. Told him the whole truth.

[41:12] In the verse. Verse 34. He says that. And he said to him. Daughter. Daughter. Let's read it together. Daughter. Your faith has made you. One more time. Daughter.

[41:23] Your faith has made you. For the last time. Daughter. Your faith has made you. And he said. Go in peace. And be healed of your affliction. Alright. Did you see that? So he said. It's the faith that made him well.

[41:35] There's a direct correlation. Between healing. Health. And faith. Brothers and sisters. It's not everyone. Who can walk. In sound health.

[41:47] It's not everyone. Who can walk in sound health. We need to believe God. By faith. Okay. Don't put the responsibility. Of all your sound health.

[41:58] On your eating. Alright. So what I'm trying to say. Is that. There's no 100% guarantee. Thinking that. You ask for me. My diet. My diet. Please. You ask a believer. What can guarantee your health.

[42:10] Take care of what you eat. As much as you can. And responsibly. Have to. Exercise. But the two. Most important things. Spiritually. Get spiritual hands involved. By consecration.

[42:21] And by your faith. You understand that? That keeps you in good health. And I see someone. Enjoying good health. I see someone. Enjoying good. If you got something. Come on.
