>> and now here's andrew.
00:00:38.383 --> 00:00:41.120
>> welcome to our tuesday's
00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:42.221
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:42.221 --> 00:00:44.623
Today i'm continuing a series
00:00:44.623 --> 00:00:46.125
That i just started yesterday
00:00:46.125 --> 00:00:47.493
Talking about the believer's
00:00:47.493 --> 00:00:49.161
Authority. this is talking about
00:00:49.161 --> 00:00:51.497
How that god is not the one who
00:00:51.497 --> 00:00:54.233
Controls everything in our life.
00:00:54.233 --> 00:00:56.101
He has given us control, and
00:00:56.101 --> 00:00:58.670
Most of the time the reason
00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:00.239
Satan is dealing people so much
00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:02.107
Misery is because they are
00:01:02.107 --> 00:01:03.642
Asking god to do what god told
00:01:03.642 --> 00:01:06.712
Them to do. he told us to heal
00:01:06.712 --> 00:01:09.148
The sick, cleanse the leper,
00:01:09.148 --> 00:01:10.983
Raise the dead. and instead
00:01:10.983 --> 00:01:12.951
We're coming and saying, oh god,
00:01:12.951 --> 00:01:14.453
I am nothing, i have nothing, i
00:01:14.453 --> 00:01:16.522
Can do nothing, but i know that
00:01:16.522 --> 00:01:18.056
You could stretch forth your
00:01:18.056 --> 00:01:19.658
Hand and heal. people are going
00:01:19.658 --> 00:01:21.760
To die if you pray that way. god
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.996
Has already defeated all
00:01:23.996 --> 00:01:25.531
Sickness, but he gave authority
00:01:25.531 --> 00:01:27.599
To us, and we have to exercise
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.169
It. and so this is what i'm
00:01:30.169 --> 00:01:31.870
Talking about. i've got this
00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:33.405
Book that's a 240-page book
00:01:33.405 --> 00:01:35.674
Entitled the believer's
00:01:35.674 --> 00:01:36.909
Authority. we have a brief
00:01:36.909 --> 00:01:38.877
Summary of it that if you
00:01:38.877 --> 00:01:40.245
Couldn't or wouldn't send
00:01:40.245 --> 00:01:41.513
Anything, i'll send this to
00:01:41.513 --> 00:01:43.081
You free and post- paid.
00:01:43.081 --> 00:01:45.117
And so, that's good. and then
00:01:45.117 --> 00:01:46.785
We have cd's, dvd's, and a usb,
00:01:46.785 --> 00:01:49.488
And a study guide. and i'll
00:01:49.488 --> 00:01:51.156
Advertise those things again
00:01:51.156 --> 00:01:52.691
At the end of the program.
00:01:52.691 --> 00:01:55.194
So i've been talking
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:56.028
So i've been talking about how god gave us
00:01:56.094 --> 00:01:57.896
About how god gave us authority, and of course all
00:01:57.963 --> 00:01:59.798
Authority, and of course all authority originated from god.
00:01:59.865 --> 00:02:01.934
Authority originated from god. god ... in the beginning, god.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.303
God ... in the beginning, god. he existed before there were any
00:02:04.369 --> 00:02:06.338
He existed before there were any angels, before there was any
00:02:06.405 --> 00:02:07.973
Angels, before there was any physical creation. god never had
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:11.276
Physical creation. god never had a beginning. he's always been
00:02:11.343 --> 00:02:13.011
A beginning. he's always been here. and so everything, all
00:02:13.078 --> 00:02:15.314
Here. and so everything, all authority, all power in the
00:02:15.380 --> 00:02:17.549
Authority, all power in the entire universe comes back to
00:02:17.616 --> 00:02:20.052
Entire universe comes back to god. there can be no power but
00:02:20.118 --> 00:02:22.454
God. there can be no power but what it originated with god. but
00:02:22.521 --> 00:02:25.224
What it originated with god. but when he created the heavens and
00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:27.159
When he created the heavens and the earth, he specifically gave
00:02:27.226 --> 00:02:30.362
The earth, he specifically gave mankind authority over this
00:02:30.429 --> 00:02:32.965
Mankind authority over this earth. let me read this to you
00:02:33.031 --> 00:02:34.633
Out of genesis, chapter 1, and
00:02:34.700 --> 00:02:37.135
Out of genesis, chapter 1, and in verse 26. it says, and god
00:02:37.202 --> 00:02:39.738
In verse 26. it says, and god said, let us make man in our
00:02:39.805 --> 00:02:42.407
Said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
00:02:42.474 --> 00:02:44.876
Image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the
00:02:44.943 --> 00:02:47.446
Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
00:02:47.512 --> 00:02:49.348
Fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over all
00:02:49.414 --> 00:02:50.983
Fowl of the air, and over all the cattle, and over all the
00:02:51.049 --> 00:02:52.284
The cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
00:02:52.351 --> 00:02:53.819
Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
00:02:53.885 --> 00:02:55.320
Thing that creepeth upon the earth. and god created man in
00:02:55.387 --> 00:02:57.556
Earth. and god created man in his own image, in the image of
00:02:57.623 --> 00:02:59.291
His own image, in the image of god created he him; male and
00:02:59.358 --> 00:03:02.261
God created he him; male and female created he them. and
00:03:02.327 --> 00:03:04.429
Female created he them. and god blessed them, and
00:03:04.496 --> 00:03:06.531
God blessed them, and god said unto them ....
00:03:06.598 --> 00:03:08.100
Now i'm not going to take
00:03:08.166 --> 00:03:09.334
Now i'm not going to take a lot of time on this, but
00:03:09.401 --> 00:03:11.203
A lot of time on this, but this is how god released
00:03:11.270 --> 00:03:14.206
This is how god released authority to mankind. he spoke
00:03:14.273 --> 00:03:16.842
Authority to mankind. he spoke it. god's word released power.
00:03:16.908 --> 00:03:21.146
It. god's word released power. to ... to our way of thinking,
00:03:21.213 --> 00:03:22.247
To ... to our way of thinking, most people today don't put this
00:03:22.314 --> 00:03:23.982
Most people today don't put this kind of an importance upon
00:03:24.049 --> 00:03:25.384
Kind of an importance upon words. there are people that
00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:27.185
Words. there are people that will say things all the time,
00:03:27.252 --> 00:03:28.553
Will say things all the time, like i'll be there at eight
00:03:28.620 --> 00:03:29.621
Like i'll be there at eight o'clock, and yet they don't even
00:03:29.688 --> 00:03:30.889
O'clock, and yet they don't even leave home until eight o'clock,
00:03:30.956 --> 00:03:32.391
Leave home until eight o'clock, and they are late, and they
00:03:32.457 --> 00:03:33.859
And they are late, and they don't keep their word, and
00:03:33.925 --> 00:03:35.761
Don't keep their word, and people just say all kinds of
00:03:35.827 --> 00:03:37.562
People just say all kinds of things. you know, i've watched a
00:03:37.629 --> 00:03:40.432
Things. you know, i've watched a lot of news lately, and i tell
00:03:40.499 --> 00:03:42.668
Lot of news lately, and i tell you there are people saying
00:03:42.734 --> 00:03:44.336
You there are people saying exact opposite things, and
00:03:44.403 --> 00:03:46.238
Exact opposite things, and somebody's right and somebody's
00:03:46.305 --> 00:03:47.706
Somebody's right and somebody's wrong. there are people today
00:03:47.773 --> 00:03:49.708
Wrong. there are people today that will just say nearly
00:03:49.775 --> 00:03:51.243
That will just say nearly anything. and so, words don't
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:54.146
Anything. and so, words don't mean that much to us, but god
00:03:54.212 --> 00:03:56.548
Mean that much to us, but god cannot violate his word.
00:03:56.615 --> 00:03:58.450
Psalms 138, verse 2 says, that
00:03:58.517 --> 00:04:01.019
Psalms 138, verse 2 says, that ...he has magnified his word
00:04:01.086 --> 00:04:03.722
...he has magnified his word above his name. ...at the name
00:04:03.789 --> 00:04:06.191
Above his name. ...at the name of jesus, philippians, chapter
00:04:06.258 --> 00:04:08.093
Of jesus, philippians, chapter 2 says, ...every knee is going
00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:09.795
2 says, ...every knee is going to bow, every tongue is
00:04:09.861 --> 00:04:10.962
To bow, every tongue is going to confess that
00:04:11.029 --> 00:04:12.197
Going to confess that jesus christ is lord
00:04:12.264 --> 00:04:13.565
.... his name is awesome.
00:04:13.632 --> 00:04:15.701
.... his name is awesome. and there's ... every person,
00:04:15.767 --> 00:04:17.202
And there's ... every person, someday in eternity, every
00:04:17.269 --> 00:04:20.005
Someday in eternity, every created being is going to bow
00:04:20.072 --> 00:04:23.208
Created being is going to bow the knee and confess
00:04:23.275 --> 00:04:24.409
The knee and confess that jesus is lord.
00:04:24.476 --> 00:04:25.577
That jesus is lord. that's how powerful the name is.
00:04:25.644 --> 00:04:27.512
That's how powerful the name is. and yet it says, his word is
00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:29.348
And yet it says, his word is exalted above his name. so god's
00:04:29.414 --> 00:04:32.684
Exalted above his name. so god's word is his integrity. he
00:04:32.751 --> 00:04:35.053
Word is his integrity. he doesn't violate his word. he
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.888
Doesn't violate his word. he cannot lie is what the scripture
00:04:36.955 --> 00:04:38.690
Cannot lie is what the scripture says in multiple places. when
00:04:38.757 --> 00:04:40.959
Says in multiple places. when god says something,
00:04:41.026 --> 00:04:42.260
God says something, it's a contract.
00:04:42.327 --> 00:04:43.795
Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34
00:04:43.862 --> 00:04:45.997
Psalms, chapter 89, verse 34 says, my covenant will
00:04:46.064 --> 00:04:47.399
Says, my covenant will i not break, nor alter
00:04:47.466 --> 00:04:49.368
I not break, nor alter the thing that has gone
00:04:49.434 --> 00:04:50.669
The thing that has gone forth out of my lips.
00:04:50.736 --> 00:04:51.837
When god says something,
00:04:51.903 --> 00:04:53.872
When god says something, it's a contract. it's binding.
00:04:53.939 --> 00:04:56.808
It's a contract. it's binding. he will not violate it.
00:04:56.875 --> 00:04:58.744
He will not violate it. it says in hebrews,
00:04:58.810 --> 00:04:59.745
It says in hebrews, chapter 1, verse 3, that
00:04:59.811 --> 00:05:01.213
Chapter 1, verse 3, that he ...upholds all things by
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.281
He ...upholds all things by the word of his power, .... if
00:05:03.348 --> 00:05:05.150
The word of his power, .... if god was to ever violate his
00:05:05.217 --> 00:05:06.952
God was to ever violate his word, the whole universe would
00:05:07.018 --> 00:05:09.187
Word, the whole universe would self-destruct because everything
00:05:09.254 --> 00:05:10.989
Self-destruct because everything is held together by the
00:05:11.056 --> 00:05:12.090
Is held together by the integrity of his word.
00:05:12.157 --> 00:05:14.126
So when god said unto them,
00:05:14.192 --> 00:05:16.094
So when god said unto them, ...he blessed them, and god
00:05:16.161 --> 00:05:18.130
...he blessed them, and god said unto them, be fruitful,
00:05:18.196 --> 00:05:20.298
Said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
00:05:20.365 --> 00:05:22.934
And multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: ....
00:05:23.001 --> 00:05:25.003
Did you know i just saw this
00:05:25.070 --> 00:05:26.505
Did you know i just saw this recently, but the word
00:05:26.571 --> 00:05:27.606
Recently, but the word for subdue right here, the
00:05:27.672 --> 00:05:29.307
For subdue right here, the hebrew word is kabash. i think
00:05:29.374 --> 00:05:33.011
Hebrew word is kabash. i think that's interesting. i've heard
00:05:33.078 --> 00:05:33.979
That's interesting. i've heard all of my life, you know, i put
00:05:34.045 --> 00:05:35.580
All of my life, you know, i put the kabash on it. people have
00:05:35.647 --> 00:05:37.516
The kabash on it. people have said that. what that means
00:05:37.582 --> 00:05:38.884
Said that. what that means is to subdue, to bring
00:05:38.950 --> 00:05:40.519
Is to subdue, to bring under authority or under
00:05:40.585 --> 00:05:42.487
Under authority or under control. and so he says here
00:05:42.554 --> 00:05:44.289
Control. and so he says here that he gave them ... he gave
00:05:44.356 --> 00:05:46.391
That he gave them ... he gave mankind the authority. he says,
00:05:46.458 --> 00:05:48.593
...be fruitful, and
00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:49.561
...be fruitful, and multiply, replenish the earth,
00:05:49.628 --> 00:05:51.530
Multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
00:05:51.596 --> 00:05:54.733
And subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.067
Over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and
00:05:56.134 --> 00:05:57.302
Over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
00:05:57.369 --> 00:05:59.571
Over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
00:05:59.638 --> 00:06:01.873
So god by saying, this is how he
00:06:01.940 --> 00:06:04.776
So god by saying, this is how he delegated authority to mankind.
00:06:04.843 --> 00:06:07.579
So, in the beginning god created
00:06:09.714 --> 00:06:11.616
So, in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth, and
00:06:11.683 --> 00:06:12.751
He was totally in control. there
00:06:12.818 --> 00:06:14.786
He was totally in control. there was no opposition whatsoever,
00:06:14.853 --> 00:06:17.522
Was no opposition whatsoever, and he just spoke, and the
00:06:17.589 --> 00:06:18.857
And he just spoke, and the worlds came into existence. the
00:06:18.924 --> 00:06:20.792
Worlds came into existence. the sun, the moon, the stars came
00:06:20.859 --> 00:06:22.594
Sun, the moon, the stars came into existence. he created the
00:06:22.661 --> 00:06:24.796
Into existence. he created the earth, created all of the life
00:06:24.863 --> 00:06:26.465
Earth, created all of the life on it, animal life, life in the
00:06:26.531 --> 00:06:28.366
On it, animal life, life in the sea, everything. and then when
00:06:28.433 --> 00:06:30.635
Sea, everything. and then when he created man, he spoke to
00:06:30.702 --> 00:06:33.104
He created man, he spoke to them. he made a contract, and he
00:06:33.171 --> 00:06:34.940
Them. he made a contract, and he says, you have dominion, you
00:06:35.006 --> 00:06:37.909
Says, you have dominion, you rule, and you subdue it. and
00:06:37.976 --> 00:06:41.613
Rule, and you subdue it. and this is something that is lost
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:43.248
This is something that is lost on so many people, but i'm just
00:06:43.315 --> 00:06:44.850
On so many people, but i'm just praying that god would open up
00:06:44.916 --> 00:06:46.218
Praying that god would open up your heart. because if you can
00:06:46.284 --> 00:06:47.185
Your heart. because if you can understand this, it will totally
00:06:47.252 --> 00:06:49.488
Understand this, it will totally change the way you live your
00:06:49.554 --> 00:06:53.859
Change the way you live your life with the lord. but he gave
00:06:53.925 --> 00:06:56.895
Life with the lord. but he gave mankind authority over this
00:06:56.962 --> 00:06:59.931
Mankind authority over this earth, and he said, you rule,
00:06:59.998 --> 00:07:02.300
Earth, and he said, you rule, you have authority, you sub ...
00:07:02.367 --> 00:07:04.970
You have authority, you sub ... subdue it. it's under your
00:07:05.036 --> 00:07:08.006
Subdue it. it's under your control. and when god said that,
00:07:08.073 --> 00:07:10.775
Control. and when god said that, he limited his control over this
00:07:10.842 --> 00:07:14.112
He limited his control over this earth, ...over the fish of the
00:07:14.179 --> 00:07:16.281
Earth, ...over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air,
00:07:16.348 --> 00:07:17.582
Sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that
00:07:17.649 --> 00:07:18.750
And over every living thing that creeps on the earth. that has
00:07:18.817 --> 00:07:20.285
Creeps on the earth. that has been given to mankind's
00:07:20.352 --> 00:07:22.654
Been given to mankind's authority. and by doing that,
00:07:22.721 --> 00:07:24.556
Authority. and by doing that, god limited his authority. you
00:07:24.623 --> 00:07:28.960
God limited his authority. you could say it this way, god is
00:07:29.027 --> 00:07:30.962
Could say it this way, god is sovereign, and i believe that.
00:07:31.029 --> 00:07:32.864
Sovereign, and i believe that. he is absolute, top of the food
00:07:32.931 --> 00:07:34.900
He is absolute, top of the food chain. that means first in rank,
00:07:34.966 --> 00:07:36.968
Chain. that means first in rank, order, or authority. all power,
00:07:37.035 --> 00:07:39.371
Order, or authority. all power, all authority comes from god.
00:07:39.437 --> 00:07:41.273
All authority comes from god. but then god turned around and
00:07:41.339 --> 00:07:43.742
But then god turned around and gave authority to mankind, and
00:07:43.808 --> 00:07:47.145
Gave authority to mankind, and when he did that, he didn't give
00:07:47.212 --> 00:07:49.381
When he did that, he didn't give partial authority. he didn't
00:07:49.447 --> 00:07:51.383
Partial authority. he didn't say, well you have dominion and
00:07:51.449 --> 00:07:53.818
Say, well you have dominion and you rule to a degree, but if you
00:07:53.885 --> 00:07:56.221
You rule to a degree, but if you do something wrong, i'm going to
00:07:56.288 --> 00:07:57.322
Do something wrong, i'm going to step back in and take things
00:07:57.389 --> 00:07:59.457
Step back in and take things over. no, he just gave
00:07:59.524 --> 00:08:01.393
Over. no, he just gave unconditional, unlimited
00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:04.563
Unconditional, unlimited authority to mankind. now this
00:08:04.629 --> 00:08:08.033
Authority to mankind. now this is super important because if
00:08:08.099 --> 00:08:09.668
Is super important because if you understand what i'm saying
00:08:09.734 --> 00:08:11.036
You understand what i'm saying right here, god limited his own
00:08:11.102 --> 00:08:14.406
Right here, god limited his own sovereignty by my ... making us
00:08:14.472 --> 00:08:17.275
Sovereignty by my ... making us have sovereign control over this
00:08:17.342 --> 00:08:20.078
Have sovereign control over this earth. not sovereign in the
00:08:20.145 --> 00:08:21.613
Earth. not sovereign in the sense that we're like god or ...
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.348
Sense that we're like god or ... or we are god, but he gave us
00:08:23.415 --> 00:08:26.251
Or we are god, but he gave us control. as a matter of fact, in
00:08:26.318 --> 00:08:28.353
Control. as a matter of fact, in psalms, chapter 82,
00:08:28.420 --> 00:08:30.021
Psalms, chapter 82, i think it's around
00:08:30.088 --> 00:08:31.389
Verse 6, but jesus quoted this
00:08:31.456 --> 00:08:33.024
Verse 6, but jesus quoted this in the new testament when he
00:08:33.091 --> 00:08:34.392
In the new testament when he was being criticized, and he
00:08:34.459 --> 00:08:36.061
Was being criticized, and he referred back to psalms, chapter
00:08:36.127 --> 00:08:37.729
Referred back to psalms, chapter 82, and he says, have i not said
00:08:37.796 --> 00:08:40.098
82, and he says, have i not said that you are all gods?
00:08:40.165 --> 00:08:42.334
That's a quotation from
00:08:42.767 --> 00:08:43.969
That's a quotation from psalms 82, and that's
00:08:44.035 --> 00:08:45.537
Psalms 82, and that's talking about people. we were
00:08:45.604 --> 00:08:47.339
Talking about people. we were gods, not in the sense of
00:08:47.405 --> 00:08:48.773
Gods, not in the sense of capital g, that we have any
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.242
Capital g, that we have any creative power, that we are god
00:08:51.309 --> 00:08:53.478
Creative power, that we are god almighty, divine, or anything
00:08:53.545 --> 00:08:56.147
Almighty, divine, or anything like that. but we were given the
00:08:56.214 --> 00:08:58.883
Like that. but we were given the control over this earth so that
00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:00.885
Control over this earth so that in a sense, mankind was the god
00:09:00.952 --> 00:09:04.155
In a sense, mankind was the god of this earth. and i'm going to
00:09:04.222 --> 00:09:05.690
Of this earth. and i'm going to explain this in more detail as
00:09:05.757 --> 00:09:07.258
Explain this in more detail as we continue through this series,
00:09:07.325 --> 00:09:09.094
We continue through this series, but when we yielded to the devil
00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:11.963
But when we yielded to the devil and to his lies in genesis,
00:09:12.030 --> 00:09:13.732
And to his lies in genesis, chapter 3, and adam and eve
00:09:13.798 --> 00:09:15.867
Chapter 3, and adam and eve yielded and obeyed the devil and
00:09:15.934 --> 00:09:17.802
Yielded and obeyed the devil and ate of the forbidden fruit,
00:09:17.869 --> 00:09:19.804
Ate of the forbidden fruit, that's where satan became the
00:09:19.871 --> 00:09:21.806
That's where satan became the god of this world. and that is
00:09:21.873 --> 00:09:25.076
God of this world. and that is spoken about satan in a number
00:09:25.143 --> 00:09:27.012
Spoken about satan in a number of places. matter of fact, even
00:09:27.078 --> 00:09:28.380
Of places. matter of fact, even when satan tempted jesus in
00:09:28.446 --> 00:09:30.949
When satan tempted jesus in matthew, chapter 4, and in luke,
00:09:31.016 --> 00:09:32.617
Matthew, chapter 4, and in luke, chapter 4, he said all of these
00:09:32.684 --> 00:09:34.786
Chapter 4, he said all of these things, talking about the
00:09:34.853 --> 00:09:35.687
Things, talking about the kingdoms of the world. he showed
00:09:35.754 --> 00:09:37.122
Kingdoms of the world. he showed him all the different kingdoms,
00:09:37.188 --> 00:09:38.623
Him all the different kingdoms, and he says, all of this is
00:09:38.690 --> 00:09:39.991
And he says, all of this is delivered unto me. when was it
00:09:40.058 --> 00:09:42.327
Delivered unto me. when was it delivered unto him? god never
00:09:42.394 --> 00:09:44.796
Delivered unto him? god never gave satan control over this
00:09:44.863 --> 00:09:46.531
Gave satan control over this earth. he gave control of this
00:09:46.598 --> 00:09:48.600
Earth. he gave control of this earth to man, and in that sense,
00:09:48.667 --> 00:09:50.735
Earth to man, and in that sense, mankind was the god of this
00:09:50.802 --> 00:09:52.671
Mankind was the god of this world. and when we yielded to
00:09:52.737 --> 00:09:55.306
World. and when we yielded to the deception of the devil and
00:09:55.373 --> 00:09:57.142
The deception of the devil and obeyed him instead of obeying
00:09:57.208 --> 00:09:58.910
Obeyed him instead of obeying god, we made satan the god of
00:09:58.977 --> 00:10:02.380
God, we made satan the god of this world. we are the ones that
00:10:02.447 --> 00:10:05.016
This world. we are the ones that empowered him. now these things
00:10:05.083 --> 00:10:07.786
Empowered him. now these things are important. and some people
00:10:07.852 --> 00:10:08.787
Are important. and some people think, well what does ... what
00:10:08.853 --> 00:10:09.754
Think, well what does ... what does it matter? it ... it ... it
00:10:09.821 --> 00:10:12.090
Does it matter? it ... it ... it does ... it's very important
00:10:12.157 --> 00:10:13.958
Does ... it's very important because, what i'm trying to say
00:10:14.025 --> 00:10:15.860
Because, what i'm trying to say is god doesn't directly control
00:10:15.927 --> 00:10:18.863
Is god doesn't directly control what's going on in this world or
00:10:18.930 --> 00:10:20.665
What's going on in this world or in your life. he does it through
00:10:20.732 --> 00:10:24.102
In your life. he does it through people. a verse that i used on
00:10:24.169 --> 00:10:26.137
People. a verse that i used on the program yesterday is
00:10:26.204 --> 00:10:27.505
Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20.
00:10:27.572 --> 00:10:29.574
Ephesians, chapter 3, verse 20. it says, now unto him who is
00:10:29.641 --> 00:10:30.608
It says, now unto him who is able to do exceeding abundantly
00:10:30.675 --> 00:10:33.178
Able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
00:10:33.244 --> 00:10:35.013
Above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.282
According to the power that works in us. the word according
00:10:37.348 --> 00:10:39.217
Works in us. the word according to means in proportion to
00:10:39.284 --> 00:10:41.953
To means in proportion to or to the degree of the
00:10:42.020 --> 00:10:43.955
Or to the degree of the power that works in us.
00:10:44.022 --> 00:10:46.224
God has to flow through
00:10:46.291 --> 00:10:48.393
God has to flow through people. and yet the
00:10:48.460 --> 00:10:49.761
People. and yet the average christian doesn't
00:10:49.828 --> 00:10:50.895
Average christian doesn't understand this. and they will
00:10:50.962 --> 00:10:52.897
Understand this. and they will pray for something like healing.
00:10:52.964 --> 00:10:54.966
Pray for something like healing. and if they pray for a person to
00:10:55.033 --> 00:10:56.468
And if they pray for a person to be healed, and if that person
00:10:56.534 --> 00:10:57.736
Be healed, and if that person dies, i've actually had some
00:10:57.802 --> 00:10:59.537
Dies, i've actually had some people that i know that when
00:10:59.604 --> 00:11:01.506
People that i know that when they prayed for someone and they
00:11:01.573 --> 00:11:03.108
They prayed for someone and they died, they literally said that
00:11:03.174 --> 00:11:05.276
Died, they literally said that they were mad at god, and for a
00:11:05.343 --> 00:11:07.112
They were mad at god, and for a month they didn't even talk to
00:11:07.178 --> 00:11:08.847
Month they didn't even talk to god. a person who says something
00:11:08.913 --> 00:11:11.583
God. a person who says something like that, they're good people,
00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:12.851
Like that, they're good people, i love them, they're great
00:11:12.917 --> 00:11:13.952
I love them, they're great friends, but they do not
00:11:14.018 --> 00:11:15.720
Friends, but they do not understand the authority that
00:11:15.787 --> 00:11:18.456
Understand the authority that god gave us. it is never god who
00:11:18.523 --> 00:11:21.526
God gave us. it is never god who is letting all of this sickness
00:11:21.593 --> 00:11:23.294
Is letting all of this sickness and disease and all of these
00:11:23.361 --> 00:11:24.829
And disease and all of these things happen. god is not the
00:11:24.896 --> 00:11:26.765
Things happen. god is not the source of this stuff. and people
00:11:26.831 --> 00:11:28.933
Source of this stuff. and people say, well he's almighty, he
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.034
Say, well he's almighty, he could have stopped it if he
00:11:30.101 --> 00:11:31.035
Could have stopped it if he wanted to, he could heal this
00:11:31.102 --> 00:11:32.470
Wanted to, he could heal this person if he wanted to. no, he
00:11:32.537 --> 00:11:34.272
Person if he wanted to. no, he can't, because he gave authority
00:11:34.339 --> 00:11:36.975
Can't, because he gave authority over this earth to us, and he
00:11:37.041 --> 00:11:38.676
Over this earth to us, and he flows through people just like
00:11:38.743 --> 00:11:40.345
That verse i was quoting,
00:11:40.411 --> 00:11:41.913
That verse i was quoting, ephesians 3:20. he's ...able to
00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.715
Ephesians 3:20. he's ...able to do exceeding abundantly above
00:11:43.782 --> 00:11:45.517
Do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according
00:11:45.583 --> 00:11:47.418
All we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
00:11:47.485 --> 00:11:50.622
If there is no power of love and
00:11:50.688 --> 00:11:53.258
If there is no power of love and of faith and of taking your
00:11:53.324 --> 00:11:55.193
Of faith and of taking your authority working in us, we
00:11:55.260 --> 00:11:57.328
Authority working in us, we limit what god can do. and i
00:11:57.395 --> 00:12:00.665
Limit what god can do. and i know that this is super
00:12:00.732 --> 00:12:01.800
Know that this is super offensive to a lot of people
00:12:01.866 --> 00:12:03.601
Offensive to a lot of people saying, well g ... you ... you
00:12:03.668 --> 00:12:04.669
Saying, well g ... you ... you can't limit god. god does
00:12:04.736 --> 00:12:07.071
Can't limit god. god does whatever he wants to do. you
00:12:07.138 --> 00:12:09.174
Whatever he wants to do. you know, let me just turn over and
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.308
Know, let me just turn over and read this to you out of psalms,
00:12:10.375 --> 00:12:12.443
Read this to you out of psalms, chapter 78. this is a passage of
00:12:12.510 --> 00:12:14.813
Chapter 78. this is a passage of scripture that god used in my
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.215
Scripture that god used in my life back ... well many times.
00:12:17.282 --> 00:12:19.984
Life back ... well many times. but in january the 31st, 2002,
00:12:20.051 --> 00:12:22.320
God spoke this to me directly.
00:12:23.955 --> 00:12:26.324
Psalms, chapter 78, and
00:12:26.391 --> 00:12:28.927
Psalms, chapter 78, and verse 41 says, yea, they turned
00:12:28.993 --> 00:12:31.563
Verse 41 says, yea, they turned back and tempted god, and
00:12:31.629 --> 00:12:34.132
Back and tempted god, and limited the holy one of israel.
00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:37.735
And yet i know there's
00:12:37.802 --> 00:12:39.270
And yet i know there's many people, well god can
00:12:39.337 --> 00:12:40.405
Many people, well god can do anything. no, he can't. he's
00:12:40.471 --> 00:12:42.574
Do anything. no, he can't. he's bound himself by his word.
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:44.209
Bound himself by his word. and he says, you have
00:12:44.275 --> 00:12:45.176
And he says, you have dominion over this earth, you
00:12:45.243 --> 00:12:46.811
Dominion over this earth, you subdue it. and this right here
00:12:46.878 --> 00:12:48.546
Subdue it. and this right here shows you that they limited god.
00:12:48.613 --> 00:12:51.316
Shows you that they limited god. the israelites that came out of
00:12:51.382 --> 00:12:53.251
The israelites that came out of egypt, it was not god's will for
00:12:53.318 --> 00:12:55.186
Egypt, it was not god's will for them to die in the wilderness
00:12:55.253 --> 00:12:56.855
Them to die in the wilderness over 40 years. that was their
00:12:56.921 --> 00:12:59.524
Over 40 years. that was their choice. they chose not to
00:12:59.591 --> 00:13:01.492
Choice. they chose not to believe god. they chose to go by
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.628
Believe god. they chose to go by their own fears. they saw the
00:13:03.695 --> 00:13:05.230
Their own fears. they saw the giants, and they chose to
00:13:05.296 --> 00:13:07.532
Giants, and they chose to disbelieve god and rejected
00:13:07.599 --> 00:13:09.667
Disbelieve god and rejected going in. when god told them to
00:13:09.734 --> 00:13:11.436
Going in. when god told them to go into the promised land and
00:13:11.502 --> 00:13:13.238
Go into the promised land and subdue it, they said, no,
00:13:13.304 --> 00:13:14.472
Subdue it, they said, no, there's giants, we can't do it.
00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:16.441
There's giants, we can't do it. and it was their unbelief that
00:13:16.507 --> 00:13:19.344
And it was their unbelief that limited god. god didn't intend
00:13:19.410 --> 00:13:22.580
Limited god. god didn't intend for them to die in the
00:13:22.647 --> 00:13:23.381
For them to die in the wilderness, but they did, not
00:13:23.448 --> 00:13:24.849
Wilderness, but they did, not because it was god's will, not
00:13:24.916 --> 00:13:26.284
Because it was god's will, not because he sovereignly chose
00:13:26.351 --> 00:13:27.919
Because he sovereignly chose that. they chose to disbelieve
00:13:27.986 --> 00:13:30.121
That. they chose to disbelieve god, and that was the
00:13:30.188 --> 00:13:31.022
God, and that was the consequences of them
00:13:31.089 --> 00:13:32.891
Consequences of them disbelieving god. and you can
00:13:32.957 --> 00:13:35.360
Disbelieving god. and you can just go ... there's so many
00:13:35.426 --> 00:13:37.428
Just go ... there's so many things in the word of god that
00:13:37.495 --> 00:13:39.163
Things in the word of god that shows you it wasn't god's will
00:13:39.230 --> 00:13:41.332
Shows you it wasn't god's will for people to suffer and to be
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.001
For people to suffer and to be sick and to have all of the
00:13:43.067 --> 00:13:44.369
Sick and to have all of the problems that we have today. but
00:13:44.435 --> 00:13:46.704
Problems that we have today. but it happens, not because god
00:13:46.771 --> 00:13:48.273
It happens, not because god wills it, but because he gave
00:13:48.339 --> 00:13:50.775
Wills it, but because he gave authority to us. and if we don't
00:13:50.842 --> 00:13:52.911
Authority to us. and if we don't tap into what jesus purchased
00:13:52.977 --> 00:13:54.779
Tap into what jesus purchased for us and use our authority, it
00:13:54.846 --> 00:13:57.382
For us and use our authority, it won't get done. over in acts,
00:13:57.448 --> 00:14:00.151
Won't get done. over in acts, chapter 3, is an instance where
00:14:00.218 --> 00:14:04.222
Chapter 3, is an instance where peter and john were going into
00:14:04.289 --> 00:14:05.857
Peter and john were going into the temple at the hour of
00:14:05.924 --> 00:14:07.191
The temple at the hour of prayer, and they saw a man who
00:14:07.258 --> 00:14:09.427
Prayer, and they saw a man who had been lame from ... lame from
00:14:09.494 --> 00:14:11.262
Had been lame from ... lame from his mother's womb. and in the
00:14:11.329 --> 00:14:12.997
His mother's womb. and in the 4th chapter of acts, when
00:14:13.064 --> 00:14:15.566
4th chapter of acts, when they're repeating this thing, we
00:14:15.633 --> 00:14:16.968
They're repeating this thing, we found out that he was 38 years
00:14:17.035 --> 00:14:18.937
Found out that he was 38 years old. so for 38 years this man
00:14:19.003 --> 00:14:21.739
Old. so for 38 years this man had been totally lame, carried
00:14:21.806 --> 00:14:23.975
Had been totally lame, carried to the gate of the temple,
00:14:24.042 --> 00:14:25.243
To the gate of the temple, and he was begging. and
00:14:25.310 --> 00:14:26.577
And he was begging. and when he saw peter and john
00:14:26.644 --> 00:14:27.979
When he saw peter and john entering into the temple, he
00:14:28.046 --> 00:14:29.647
Entering into the temple, he asked for an alm from them,
00:14:29.714 --> 00:14:31.082
And they said, ...silver
00:14:31.149 --> 00:14:32.517
And they said, ...silver and gold have i none;
00:14:32.583 --> 00:14:34.485
And gold have i none; but such as i have ....
00:14:34.552 --> 00:14:37.755
Boy, get this.
00:14:37.822 --> 00:14:38.890
Boy, get this. this just ... this goes against
00:14:38.957 --> 00:14:41.159
This just ... this goes against our religious system so much
00:14:41.225 --> 00:14:43.361
Our religious system so much that people i'm sure are just
00:14:43.428 --> 00:14:45.029
That people i'm sure are just freaking out over this.
00:14:45.096 --> 00:14:46.864
But it says, ...such as i have
00:14:46.931 --> 00:14:49.634
But it says, ...such as i have give i thee: in the name of
00:14:49.701 --> 00:14:52.170
Give i thee: in the name of jesus christ of nazareth
00:14:52.236 --> 00:14:53.604
Jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk.
00:14:53.671 --> 00:14:54.572
And they reached out and
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:55.540
And they reached out and grabbed him by the hand and
00:14:55.606 --> 00:14:56.808
Grabbed him by the hand and lifted him up, and immediately
00:14:56.874 --> 00:14:59.010
Lifted him up, and immediately the power of god flowed, and he
00:14:59.077 --> 00:15:00.545
The power of god flowed, and he got up and started walking, and
00:15:00.611 --> 00:15:02.046
Got up and started walking, and leaping, and praising god. now
00:15:02.113 --> 00:15:04.482
Leaping, and praising god. now think about this, he said, such
00:15:04.549 --> 00:15:05.984
Think about this, he said, such as i have. he didn't say, well,
00:15:06.050 --> 00:15:10.154
As i have. he didn't say, well, i have nothing and i'm nobody,
00:15:10.221 --> 00:15:12.190
I have nothing and i'm nobody, but god almighty loves you and
00:15:12.256 --> 00:15:14.258
But god almighty loves you and god wants to heal you, and so
00:15:14.325 --> 00:15:16.294
God wants to heal you, and so let's just pray and ask, if it
00:15:16.361 --> 00:15:18.329
Let's just pray and ask, if it be his will, let him heal you.
00:15:18.396 --> 00:15:22.400
Be his will, let him heal you. see that's not the way that
00:15:22.467 --> 00:15:23.668
See that's not the way that peter approached it. that's the
00:15:23.735 --> 00:15:25.803
Peter approached it. that's the way that people approach it
00:15:25.870 --> 00:15:26.838
Way that people approach it today, and that's the reason we
00:15:26.904 --> 00:15:27.839
Today, and that's the reason we don't see that many lame people
00:15:27.905 --> 00:15:29.374
Don't see that many lame people being healed is because we ...
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:31.142
Being healed is because we ... we say, well i ... i'm nothing
00:15:31.209 --> 00:15:32.777
We say, well i ... i'm nothing and i don't have anything. oh
00:15:32.844 --> 00:15:33.978
And i don't have anything. oh god, would you please heal that
00:15:34.045 --> 00:15:35.413
God, would you please heal that person? and we aren't taking our
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.215
Person? and we aren't taking our authority and using it. we
00:15:37.281 --> 00:15:39.650
Authority and using it. we aren't commanding the healing to
00:15:39.717 --> 00:15:42.086
Aren't commanding the healing to come. instead, we are asking god
00:15:42.153 --> 00:15:44.288
Come. instead, we are asking god to do what he told us to do.
00:15:44.355 --> 00:15:46.724
Matthew, chapter 10, verse 8, he
00:15:46.791 --> 00:15:48.659
Matthew, chapter 10, verse 8, he says, you, heal the sick,
00:15:48.726 --> 00:15:50.862
Says, you, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
00:15:50.928 --> 00:15:52.797
Cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely
00:15:52.864 --> 00:15:54.432
Dead, cast out devils: freely you've received, freely give.
00:15:54.499 --> 00:15:56.000
And yet we aren't casting
00:15:56.067 --> 00:15:57.668
And yet we aren't casting out devils and speaking. we are
00:15:57.735 --> 00:15:59.537
Out devils and speaking. we are asking god to cast out the
00:15:59.604 --> 00:16:01.172
Asking god to cast out the devils. we're asking god to heal
00:16:01.239 --> 00:16:02.940
Devils. we're asking god to heal these people. no, peter just
00:16:03.007 --> 00:16:05.410
These people. no, peter just reached down and said, ...such
00:16:05.476 --> 00:16:06.444
Reached down and said, ...such as i have give i unto thee: ...,
00:16:06.511 --> 00:16:09.614
As i have give i unto thee: ..., and he grabbed him by the hand.
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:10.915
And he grabbed him by the hand. did you know if you study this
00:16:10.982 --> 00:16:12.817
Did you know if you study this ... i hadn't taken every verse
00:16:12.884 --> 00:16:14.585
... i hadn't taken every verse and gone through it, but if you
00:16:14.652 --> 00:16:15.520
And gone through it, but if you would go to acts, chapter 3, and
00:16:15.586 --> 00:16:17.789
Would go to acts, chapter 3, and read this, peter never prayed a
00:16:17.855 --> 00:16:20.458
Read this, peter never prayed a prayer. he didn't ask god to
00:16:20.525 --> 00:16:22.593
Prayer. he didn't ask god to heal this man. he knew that god
00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:25.830
Heal this man. he knew that god gave him the power. it says in
00:16:25.897 --> 00:16:27.999
Gave him the power. it says in matthew, chapter 10, verse 1,
00:16:28.066 --> 00:16:29.801
Matthew, chapter 10, verse 1, that he gave them power over all
00:16:29.867 --> 00:16:32.470
That he gave them power over all sickness and over all disease
00:16:32.537 --> 00:16:35.339
Sickness and over all disease and to cast out devils. he
00:16:35.406 --> 00:16:37.542
And to cast out devils. he didn't ask god to give him power
00:16:37.608 --> 00:16:40.211
Didn't ask god to give him power after god said, i've already
00:16:40.278 --> 00:16:41.646
After god said, i've already given you power. see, when you
00:16:41.712 --> 00:16:43.181
Given you power. see, when you come and ... the lord says, you
00:16:43.247 --> 00:16:44.816
Come and ... the lord says, you go heal the sick, cleanse the
00:16:44.882 --> 00:16:46.017
Go heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and then
00:16:46.084 --> 00:16:47.819
Lepers, raise the dead, and then you come to the lord and say, oh
00:16:47.885 --> 00:16:48.953
You come to the lord and say, oh god, would you please heal this
00:16:49.020 --> 00:16:50.288
God, would you please heal this person, it's contrary to what
00:16:50.354 --> 00:16:52.590
Person, it's contrary to what god says. it's because you don't
00:16:52.657 --> 00:16:54.325
God says. it's because you don't believe that you really have the
00:16:54.392 --> 00:16:55.793
Believe that you really have the authority and the power. you are
00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.829
Authority and the power. you are focused on your inability.
00:16:57.895 --> 00:17:00.031
Focused on your inability. you're focused on your natural
00:17:00.098 --> 00:17:01.699
You're focused on your natural realm, maybe your physical lack
00:17:01.766 --> 00:17:04.302
Realm, maybe your physical lack of feeling anything or your
00:17:04.368 --> 00:17:06.704
Of feeling anything or your mental and emotional realm,
00:17:06.771 --> 00:17:08.606
Mental and emotional realm, you don't have any great
00:17:08.673 --> 00:17:09.740
You don't have any great revelation from god. but
00:17:09.807 --> 00:17:11.375
Revelation from god. but instead, you just ought
00:17:11.442 --> 00:17:13.044
Instead, you just ought to act on what the word says.
00:17:13.111 --> 00:17:14.245
To act on what the word says. that if you were born again,
00:17:14.312 --> 00:17:15.713
That you have been given
00:17:15.780 --> 00:17:17.348
That you have been given the power to heal the sick
00:17:17.415 --> 00:17:18.583
The power to heal the sick cleanse the lepers,
00:17:18.649 --> 00:17:19.450
Cleanse the lepers, raise the dead. it says
00:17:19.517 --> 00:17:21.185
In matthew, chapter 28, he gave
00:17:21.252 --> 00:17:23.754
In matthew, chapter 28, he gave us power and authority. you go
00:17:23.821 --> 00:17:25.756
Us power and authority. you go preach the gospel.
00:17:25.823 --> 00:17:27.425
It says in john, chapter 14,
00:17:27.492 --> 00:17:29.494
It says in john, chapter 14, jesus said, verily, verily.
00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:31.496
The word verily, verily
00:17:31.562 --> 00:17:33.097
The word verily, verily is translated from the
00:17:33.164 --> 00:17:34.332
Is translated from the greek word amen, amen. so
00:17:34.398 --> 00:17:37.468
Greek word amen, amen. so be it. he had to repeat it
00:17:37.535 --> 00:17:39.103
Be it. he had to repeat it because this is something that
00:17:39.170 --> 00:17:41.105
Because this is something that is so astounding most
00:17:41.172 --> 00:17:42.306
Is so astounding most people wouldn't believe it.
00:17:42.373 --> 00:17:43.741
But he said, verily, verily, i
00:17:43.808 --> 00:17:45.443
But he said, verily, verily, i say unto you, he that believeth
00:17:45.510 --> 00:17:47.678
Say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that i do
00:17:47.745 --> 00:17:49.447
On me, the works that i do shall he do also; and greater
00:17:49.514 --> 00:17:51.983
Shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he
00:17:52.049 --> 00:17:53.451
Works than these shall he do; because i go unto my father.
00:17:53.518 --> 00:17:55.186
God said, if you believe
00:17:55.253 --> 00:17:57.188
God said, if you believe on him, you will do the same
00:17:57.255 --> 00:17:58.823
On him, you will do the same works that he did. and yet the
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:00.591
Works that he did. and yet the average christian today is
00:18:00.658 --> 00:18:01.792
Average christian today is saying, well i am nothing, i
00:18:01.859 --> 00:18:03.928
Saying, well i am nothing, i have nothing, i can't heal
00:18:03.995 --> 00:18:05.930
Have nothing, i can't heal anybody. you know, i'll grant
00:18:05.997 --> 00:18:08.699
Anybody. you know, i'll grant you this, that just me in my own
00:18:08.766 --> 00:18:11.469
You this, that just me in my own power with my own ability, i
00:18:11.536 --> 00:18:13.804
Power with my own ability, i can't heal anybody. it's not my
00:18:13.871 --> 00:18:16.107
Can't heal anybody. it's not my power, it's god's power, but
00:18:16.174 --> 00:18:18.843
Power, it's god's power, but it's in me and it's been put at
00:18:18.910 --> 00:18:20.945
It's in me and it's been put at my disposal. i have the
00:18:21.012 --> 00:18:23.548
My disposal. i have the authority over god's power. and
00:18:23.614 --> 00:18:26.284
Authority over god's power. and if i don't use it and if i just
00:18:26.350 --> 00:18:28.553
If i don't use it and if i just by default say, god i don't have
00:18:28.619 --> 00:18:31.088
By default say, god i don't have anything, i can't do anything,
00:18:31.155 --> 00:18:32.423
Anything, i can't do anything, would you please just do this
00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:33.891
Would you please just do this independent of me? would you
00:18:33.958 --> 00:18:35.626
Independent of me? would you flow without flowing through me?
00:18:35.693 --> 00:18:38.596
Flow without flowing through me? well then, i'm short-circuiting
00:18:38.663 --> 00:18:40.231
Well then, i'm short-circuiting what god said. it's god's power
00:18:40.298 --> 00:18:43.134
What god said. it's god's power working in us, and if we believe
00:18:43.201 --> 00:18:45.002
On him, the works that he did,
00:18:45.069 --> 00:18:46.537
On him, the works that he did, we will do also, and greater
00:18:46.604 --> 00:18:49.106
We will do also, and greater works than these shall he do.
00:18:49.173 --> 00:18:51.175
You know, i ministered in corpus
00:18:51.242 --> 00:18:52.443
You know, i ministered in corpus christi, texas one time in a
00:18:52.510 --> 00:18:53.878
Christi, texas one time in a church, and i spent sunday
00:18:53.945 --> 00:18:55.680
Church, and i spent sunday through wednesday ministering on
00:18:55.746 --> 00:18:57.748
Through wednesday ministering on this exact subject. and i was
00:18:57.815 --> 00:18:59.550
This exact subject. and i was using john, chapter 14, verse
00:18:59.617 --> 00:19:01.686
Using john, chapter 14, verse 12, where it says that we will
00:19:01.752 --> 00:19:03.321
12, where it says that we will do the same works that he did.
00:19:03.387 --> 00:19:04.655
Do the same works that he did. and i talked about what some of
00:19:04.722 --> 00:19:06.290
And i talked about what some of those same works were and talked
00:19:06.357 --> 00:19:08.192
Those same works were and talked about even the raising from the
00:19:08.259 --> 00:19:09.560
About even the raising from the dead. and did you know that the
00:19:09.627 --> 00:19:11.162
Dead. and did you know that the pastor of that church, after i
00:19:11.229 --> 00:19:14.198
Pastor of that church, after i left on wednesday, he got to
00:19:14.265 --> 00:19:16.234
Left on wednesday, he got to thinking about this, and he got
00:19:16.300 --> 00:19:18.302
Thinking about this, and he got up in front of his church on a
00:19:18.369 --> 00:19:19.570
Up in front of his church on a sunday morning, and there was 3
00:19:19.637 --> 00:19:21.672
Sunday morning, and there was 3 or 400 people in the church, and
00:19:21.739 --> 00:19:24.942
Or 400 people in the church, and he got to saying, this is what
00:19:25.009 --> 00:19:26.143
He got to saying, this is what the word says and we haven't
00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:27.445
The word says and we haven't been seeing it, and it's not
00:19:27.511 --> 00:19:28.746
Been seeing it, and it's not because god isn't willing to do
00:19:28.813 --> 00:19:31.115
Because god isn't willing to do it, it's because we haven't been
00:19:31.182 --> 00:19:32.583
It, it's because we haven't been using our authority. and he got
00:19:32.650 --> 00:19:34.819
Using our authority. and he got up and preached, and he says, we
00:19:34.885 --> 00:19:36.254
Up and preached, and he says, we are going to see the dead raised
00:19:36.320 --> 00:19:38.322
Are going to see the dead raised in this church. we are going to
00:19:38.389 --> 00:19:39.790
In this church. we are going to see these same works work. and
00:19:39.857 --> 00:19:42.193
See these same works work. and while he was preaching, a man
00:19:42.260 --> 00:19:44.228
While he was preaching, a man had a heart attack and fell over
00:19:44.295 --> 00:19:46.230
Had a heart attack and fell over dead right in front of the whole
00:19:46.297 --> 00:19:47.732
Dead right in front of the whole church. and so they ... the fire
00:19:47.798 --> 00:19:51.836
Church. and so they ... the fire department and first responders
00:19:51.902 --> 00:19:54.138
Department and first responders were just across the street from
00:19:54.205 --> 00:19:55.506
Were just across the street from this church. so they immediately
00:19:55.573 --> 00:19:57.241
This church. so they immediately called 911. and he said it took
00:19:57.308 --> 00:19:59.577
Called 911. and he said it took them about 10 minutes to
00:19:59.644 --> 00:20:00.778
Them about 10 minutes to respond. i don't know why since
00:20:00.845 --> 00:20:02.346
Respond. i don't know why since they were so close. but during
00:20:02.413 --> 00:20:04.048
They were so close. but during this 10 minutes, the whole
00:20:04.115 --> 00:20:05.549
This 10 minutes, the whole service had been interrupted,
00:20:05.616 --> 00:20:07.418
Service had been interrupted, and they were just all standing
00:20:07.485 --> 00:20:08.886
And they were just all standing around and waiting on the
00:20:08.953 --> 00:20:10.855
Around and waiting on the paramedics to come. and while
00:20:10.921 --> 00:20:13.391
Paramedics to come. and while they were waiting, it just
00:20:13.457 --> 00:20:16.260
They were waiting, it just dawned on him that i'm saying we
00:20:16.327 --> 00:20:18.562
Dawned on him that i'm saying we are going to see the same works,
00:20:18.629 --> 00:20:20.031
Are going to see the same works, and so he just stood up and he
00:20:20.097 --> 00:20:22.133
And so he just stood up and he went down and spoke over this
00:20:22.199 --> 00:20:23.768
Went down and spoke over this man. and this man was gone. they
00:20:23.834 --> 00:20:25.136
Man. and this man was gone. they had some people who were like
00:20:25.202 --> 00:20:26.304
Had some people who were like nurses in their church, and ...
00:20:26.370 --> 00:20:28.272
Nurses in their church, and ... and there was no pulse, and the
00:20:28.339 --> 00:20:30.308
And there was no pulse, and the man was dead. and he just went
00:20:30.374 --> 00:20:33.577
Man was dead. and he just went down and commanded this man to
00:20:33.644 --> 00:20:35.746
Down and commanded this man to come back to life. and the guy
00:20:35.813 --> 00:20:37.315
Come back to life. and the guy just sat up, and he was raised
00:20:37.381 --> 00:20:39.450
Just sat up, and he was raised from the dead. and so the
00:20:39.517 --> 00:20:40.685
From the dead. and so the paramedics came in and they
00:20:40.751 --> 00:20:41.986
Paramedics came in and they checked him over, he was okay,
00:20:42.053 --> 00:20:43.187
Checked him over, he was okay, but they went ahead and took him
00:20:43.254 --> 00:20:44.288
But they went ahead and took him to the hospital, and it turned
00:20:44.355 --> 00:20:46.090
To the hospital, and it turned out that the guy's car was left
00:20:46.157 --> 00:20:47.758
Out that the guy's car was left at the church, and when they
00:20:47.825 --> 00:20:49.393
At the church, and when they released him from the hospital,
00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:51.228
Released him from the hospital, he had to take a taxi to get
00:20:51.295 --> 00:20:53.230
He had to take a taxi to get back to the church and collect
00:20:53.297 --> 00:20:55.132
Back to the church and collect his vehicle. and he made the
00:20:55.199 --> 00:20:57.401
His vehicle. and he made the pastor pay for his taxi fare. he
00:20:57.468 --> 00:20:59.837
Pastor pay for his taxi fare. he says, because i told you i was
00:20:59.904 --> 00:21:01.339
Says, because i told you i was healed and everything was fine,
00:21:01.405 --> 00:21:02.640
Healed and everything was fine, and you're the ones that made me
00:21:02.707 --> 00:21:03.641
And you're the ones that made me go to the doctor. so the pastor
00:21:03.708 --> 00:21:05.776
Go to the doctor. so the pastor wound up having to pay for the
00:21:05.843 --> 00:21:07.044
Wound up having to pay for the taxi for this guy who had been
00:21:07.111 --> 00:21:08.379
Taxi for this guy who had been raised from the dead. but did
00:21:08.446 --> 00:21:10.147
Raised from the dead. but did you know what? if they hadn't
00:21:10.214 --> 00:21:11.749
You know what? if they hadn't have believed for it, if they
00:21:11.816 --> 00:21:13.384
Have believed for it, if they hadn't have heard me preach
00:21:13.451 --> 00:21:14.652
On this, and faith comes
00:21:14.719 --> 00:21:15.753
On this, and faith comes by hearing, and hearing
00:21:15.820 --> 00:21:16.620
By hearing, and hearing by the word, and then
00:21:16.687 --> 00:21:17.555
The pastor stood up, and
00:21:17.621 --> 00:21:18.723
The pastor stood up, and he proclaimed that we
00:21:18.789 --> 00:21:20.157
He proclaimed that we are going to start seeing
00:21:20.224 --> 00:21:21.158
Are going to start seeing john 14:12 come to pass. and if
00:21:21.225 --> 00:21:23.761
John 14:12 come to pass. and if they hadn't have taken their
00:21:23.828 --> 00:21:24.929
They hadn't have taken their authority, and if they hadn't
00:21:24.995 --> 00:21:26.364
Authority, and if they hadn't have spoken ... i'm sure that
00:21:26.430 --> 00:21:28.399
Have spoken ... i'm sure that there was people in that church
00:21:28.466 --> 00:21:29.633
There was people in that church saying, oh god, raise him from
00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:31.202
Saying, oh god, raise him from the dead, and they were wanting
00:21:31.268 --> 00:21:33.337
The dead, and they were wanting god to do it. but if that pastor
00:21:33.404 --> 00:21:35.439
God to do it. but if that pastor hadn't have stood up and taken
00:21:35.506 --> 00:21:37.375
Hadn't have stood up and taken his authority, it wouldn't have
00:21:37.441 --> 00:21:39.276
His authority, it wouldn't have happened. so this is powerful.
00:21:39.343 --> 00:21:42.913
Happened. so this is powerful. god gave us authority over this
00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:46.083
God gave us authority over this earth. and one of the greatest
00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:48.419
Earth. and one of the greatest problems that min ... that
00:21:48.486 --> 00:21:50.054
Problems that min ... that people have in receiving from
00:21:50.121 --> 00:21:52.490
People have in receiving from god is that they are just
00:21:52.556 --> 00:21:54.158
God is that they are just passively coming and saying, oh
00:21:54.225 --> 00:21:56.026
Passively coming and saying, oh god, would you please do
00:21:56.093 --> 00:21:57.661
God, would you please do something, not understanding
00:21:57.728 --> 00:21:59.530
Something, not understanding that god gave us authority. now
00:21:59.597 --> 00:22:01.465
That god gave us authority. now as we continue through this
00:22:01.532 --> 00:22:02.633
As we continue through this series, i'm going to share

00:22:10.007 --> 00:22:11.409
Chapter 18, that death and life is in the power of the
00:22:11.475 --> 00:22:12.977
And life is in the power of the tongue: ..., and james 4:7, you
00:22:13.043 --> 00:22:15.379
Tongue: ..., and james 4:7, you have to resist the devil,
00:22:15.446 --> 00:22:16.914

Going to be sharing a lot of things. but the foundational
00:22:21.952 --> 00:22:23.354
Things. but the foundational point is that god gave mankind
00:22:23.421 --> 00:22:26.757
Point is that god gave mankind authority over this earth,
00:22:26.824 --> 00:22:28.359
Authority over this earth, and god is not going to do
00:22:28.426 --> 00:22:30.694
And god is not going to do what he gave us authority
00:22:30.761 --> 00:22:33.230
What he gave us authority and power to do.

00:26:06.543 --> 00:26:13.584
>> before hearing of andrew
00:26:13.651 --> 00:26:14.818
Wommack, cindy mezas underwent
00:26:14.818 --> 00:26:16.820
Intense chemotherapy to overcome
00:26:16.820 --> 00:26:18.922
The diagnosis of cervical
00:26:18.922 --> 00:26:20.424
Cancer. years later, she
00:26:20.424 --> 00:26:22.426
Discovered that the side effects
00:26:22.426 --> 00:26:23.927
From all the treatment would be
00:26:23.927 --> 00:26:25.429
Another war altogether, and
00:26:25.429 --> 00:26:27.164
Decided to put the teachings of
00:26:27.164 --> 00:26:28.732
Andrew wommack into practice
00:26:28.732 --> 00:26:30.534
By speaking to her body.
00:26:30.534 --> 00:26:32.236
>> my body had to respond to my
00:26:32.302 --> 00:26:34.772
Words again. i started to use
00:26:34.772 --> 00:26:37.174
The scriptures that i found in
00:26:37.174 --> 00:26:39.009
The word, and then i heard from
00:26:39.009 --> 00:26:40.811
The teachings of andrew, and
00:26:40.811 --> 00:26:42.746
I started to walk in my living
00:26:42.746 --> 00:26:44.848
Room just speaking them,
00:26:44.848 --> 00:26:46.283
Blessing myself with them.
00:26:46.283 --> 00:26:48.018
It took me 4.5 hours to do
00:26:48.018 --> 00:26:50.521
That, but i did it.
00:26:50.521 --> 00:26:51.989
>> today she is
00:26:51.989 --> 00:26:53.090
Completely healed.
00:26:53.090 --> 00:26:54.758
>> it's not just acting up on
00:26:54.825 --> 00:26:56.660
The word, listening to teachings
00:26:56.660 --> 00:26:58.162
When you're in a crisis, but
00:26:58.162 --> 00:27:00.297
It's throughout your whole life.
00:27:00.297 --> 00:27:01.999
So there's not a day that goes
00:27:01.999 --> 00:27:03.367
By that i don't meditate upon
00:27:03.367 --> 00:27:05.469
The word or that i don't listen
00:27:05.469 --> 00:27:07.071
To teachings. i use my words
00:27:07.071 --> 00:27:09.440
Wisely now. i change my words
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:12.376
And i change them into the
00:27:12.376 --> 00:27:13.444
Words of the lord. i can just
00:27:13.444 --> 00:27:15.512
Walk the dog and i'm speaking,
00:27:15.512 --> 00:27:17.748
Body, you're in health all
00:27:17.748 --> 00:27:19.383
The days of my life.
00:27:19.383 --> 00:27:19.383
