Developing a Culture of Healing (part 2) with Chuck Parry

H just a little reminder about that QR code and if um you were intending to join in with that offering and just hadn't quite got to it QR code's there just for a moment but uh welcome back Chuck do come thank you all right come on in H Jesus so how many of you have ever been to the bethl healing rooms any anybody Oh look a bunch of you was it fun did you like it we think it's the best party of the week really it's it's a festival it's not you know yeah it's a

Divine experiment we're just playing with what would it be like if we just tried to create the atmosphere of heaven and see what happens and so many times we have people healed uh one time the teacher in the first classroom uh you know as people gathered in the hallway and then went into the classroom A asked everybody how many of you walking down the hallway you experienced uh freedom from the pain that you had and 32 people raised their hands and said that their pain had left them walking down the hallway how cool is that

and this is what you know we're our goal is to create the atmosphere of heaven so that people get healed just coming into it but if we must we will pray we will Minister many times people just fall out in the spirit and get up having had an encounter with God and so yeah we love healing I love the faces of people when you see that their life has been changed when um actually Sheila was just talking to me and and for 30 years she's had pain when she goes to bed at night to go

to sleep and last night she didn't have any pain woo how cool is that Jesus okay so we have over 800 800 People that we're trying to get to agree on a few things so that we can Steward the atmosphere of heaven and so we decided that we would limit it to four very simple agreements if we can get people to agree with these things and and they're not um you know they're not not the the biggest theological doctrinal things but they are important and so the first thing that we ask our teams to agree

on is the presence of God now we know God's always present he's omnipresent and that's not what we're agreeing on we're agreeing on that he's present right here in the midst of us I talked a little bit about this last night that Jesus said when two or three of you are gathered together in my name where is he is right here in the midst of us okay what if everything he said was true okay he said he's right here and so just like that that grace of God that we Want to recognize we want to

recognize him based on what he says is true and so we invite our our teams we have a an hour that we meet from 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning before we see any of our guests they're all doing other things and in classes but our team gathers in one room for an hour and we just practice recognizing his presence we sometimes have somebody on the guitar or on the keys just you know one person but it's not about the worship we invite Everybody to whether they're uh sitting you know some as as you know

some of of us are more introverted than others have you ever noticed that you know some of you like just that quiet doesn't leave me alone and some are more Rowdy and explosive and and so we have people you know rolling around on the floor screaming and laughing and piling up with each other that's one way but we have other people just sitting in the corner Quietly just you know and we're we're inviting everybody to pay attention to Jesus right here in the midst of us to look into his love just to to recognize his

presence to talk to him like he's right here and so many times you know most of the people have their eyes closed because they're they're talking to Jesus as if he's right here and if he's right here we want to speak intimately to him speak personally he's here for You for each one of us and you know just to to recognize that presence recognition is honor if if I came in the building and I sat way in the back I would be here but if you didn't recognize my presence you you wouldn't access what I

bring I mean you'd still I I would be here and I'd be willing to give you access to anything but you would not be accessing it unless you recognized my presence and you know Steve brought me Up here introduced me and so you're you're drawing from what I bring it's the same with Jesus he's here but he's invisible and so if we don't recognize his presence we might not draw from the richness that he brings into the room you might feel something but the more attention we give him the more we connect with who he

is and what he's coming here for and so we spend an hour recognizing his presence in the midst of us and sometimes there Are songs worship songs that we all sing sometimes it's just instrumental or the worship leader is just singing in the spirit um many times I'll be on the microphone and I'll just kind of weave in and out and draw people's attention back to his presence back to loving his presence um he's here right now because we're gathered in his name let's just practice that for a moment you can close your eyes if

you Like because people are so distracting Jesus we recognize your presence we turn our attention to you you're the most important person in the room right now and we thank you for the honor of being your people of being in your presence yep of experiencing you of having you do all the things that you do yeah knit us together as your body you say that you know you're the head of Your church which is your body the fullness of you who fills all in all yeah go ahead and fill your body do the things that

you promis fill us with your presence be the head yet we choose to respond to you as the head and to be the parts of your body thank you for the privilege to which you've elevated us to be able to be parts of you yeah you say in your prayer to the father in John 17 yep that we get to be one with each Other the same way you're one with the father we get to experience the same love the father has for you we get to experience so we say yes to all your promises

we we stand here sit here in your love loved by the father loved by you oh Jesus your ways are marvelous your ways are beautiful we magnify your name we love you You're altogether lovely there's none like you Jesus awesome and Holiness glorious in splendor fearful in Praises doing wonders as none like you a righteous God and a savior there's none but you Jesus yours is the name above every name y all authority in heaven and on Earth are yours Jesus we magnify you we're in all of the great honor that We get to be

in your presence to be in the room with you to look into your glory and not be consumed yeah yeah in the Old Testament you said you don't share your glory with another but we're no longer another you brought us into yourself we and then you said you've given us the the same Glory the father's given you oh Jesus you put your glory in us thank you we're in Awe in all of your promises in all of your purposes your plans Jesus oh take us further deeper higher wider into the vast vast love of God

Jesus oh Jesus thank you for being our God and calling us your people thank you thank you yeah see it's easy to do this for About an hour or so sometimes we can barely crawl out of the room to go minister to people because of the weighty glory of God that fills the room yeah and this is this is our preparation our preparation is in him is in the recognition of his presence and his love his purposes and his plans yep his plans are Jesus in us through us around us upon us thank You so

that that's just the first agreement we ask everybody to agree on so as they come into the the room you know we're happy to see each other but we ask people to you know stop talking stop having any other conversation except with Jesus all our attention wants to be on him and we spend our time doing that okay so there's a a second agreement that we asked all our people to agree On and it's we it agreeing on his presence which is kind of like the first one but this one is on his presence within

he says I put my Holy Spirit within you he says we're temples of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit lives in US yeah he says that the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in me and gives life to my physical body by his Spirit Yeah yeah he says the spirit in me Bears witness with my spirit that I'm a child of God and his Spirit In Me Cries Out ABA father recognizing his relationship with the father and so we turn our attention within and go thank you let's just try that

turn your attention and go holy spirit thank you that you're here yeah you're here in me y this is a game Cher the fact that the Holy Spirit lives in Me yep I'm not alone I don't have to figure out how to make things happen you're here thank you Holy Spirit you're here you know and this is that I've got this little badge that I made up that says oh but you're here I have a few of them that I can sell to you for some meager amount if you if anyone would like one but

yeah it's just the recognition you know I I want to recognize this Presence all the time when I'm driving in my car oh but you're here in the car with me you know so many times I'll be racing to work and I've got all these meetings and people have to meet and I'm thinking about what we're going to do and and I'll come to a traffic light and it turns red and I go oh oh holy spirit you just wanted me to stop and be with you oh I'm so sorry I was racing ahead yes

thank you for the Reminder I'm just going to sit at this traffic light and ah thank you for your presence and everything changes yeah we're faced with an impossible situation fourth stage cancer uh loss of a job anything and we just stop and we go oh but you're here yeah just go ahead and say that oh but you're here you see that's the a game changer he's got the plan yep he knows what to do he knows How to heal he knows how to multiply money he knows how to multiply fuel in your vehicle one

winter I got 320 miles to the gallon in my car all winter he knows how to multiply food we've taken a big pot a 20 gallon pot of food that we made and fed thousands of people you get to the bottom of the pot and the spoon is scraping the bottom and The que still goes off into the distance and I'll hear this voice that says you should give smaller helpings and it will go further and then this other voice Rises up in me and says no my God's a god of abundance and I'll scoop

out huge helpings and I'll put the lid partially over the pot because I don't want to look at the limitation in the bottom of the pot and I'll scrape out I can hear the spoon scraping the bottom every time And I'll put huge helpings in for an hour until everyone's served and then when everybody's served you lift up the lid did and the pot's empty how does he do that I have no idea it's called a miracle but it's the recognition of his presence oh but you're here there's not enough food oh but you're here

not enough money oh but you're here no there's the economy of this world but then there's the economy of Heaven in Which miracle happen and it says in Colossians 1:13 it says he delivered us from the power of darkness and transported us into the kingdom of the son of his love how much work did we do in that sentence nothing he did it and so we never have to go back to living under the power of Darkness know it it says in uh 1 John 5:19 that the whole world lies under wickedness and you know

it's not just Moral impurity but it's it's that performance that never having enough that striving trying to get out of a place of limitation but we don't have to get out of that he delivered us from it and the enemy he you know that that Veil that's over the Nations it talks about in Isaiah 25 that covering over the whole world the whole world that's under under Darkness it says in in uh what 2 Corinthians chapter 4 that the God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they don't see the light of

the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ unless you knowless they would come in and fill them the light of the Kingdom of Heaven is all around us just invisible and the enemy's blinded people so all we see is lacking limitation a whole world of lack and limitation and he tells us all that we're not all that We can't do all that we can't have all that you know not good enough smart enough uh Rich enough beautiful enough handsome enough athletic enough strong enough you know all the not enough and for a Believer certainly not enough anointing

if you had enough anointing you could heal the sick but you don't have enough anointing know all the not enough because the God of this age the enemy has blinded the minds not only of Unbelievers but of unbelieving Believers and when we let ourselves come under those blinders that only see limitation that's what we get but he delivered us from that say I've been delivered he put us in the Kingdom of the son of his love into an everlasting abundant Kingdom where the enem is coming to steal kill and destroy he's bringing life and life

more abundantly and so I want to be a part of his life and life more Abundantly program everywhere where there's steal kill and destroy everywhere where there's a diminishing of options I want to be part of bringing the abundance of heaven and it all comes back to recognizing oh but you're here yep there's not enough oh but you're here not enough money you know under the principles of this world and the economy of this world you you you got what you got what's your bank Account say you know your bank account it never seems to

have enough zeros on the end of the those numbers you know and you're limited by that but over here it's the economy of Heaven this is where miracles happen how many have ever experienced a financial Miracle God broke through and yeah how many of you might ever need a financial Miracle again this is where it happens in his kingdom there's abundance there are no Limits we were coming back from a um a mission trip one time and and uh I had a we had a whole Fleet of vehicles and trailers and all our equipment and

a bunch of our people and we're going across the United States and we needed ,000 to make it home and so I'm driving and and I take out the envelope and I give it to the young man sitting next to me and I say hey count this we need $1,000 and he counts it and there are eight $100 bills I said they're eight I Went no no no no we need 10 come them again and so he counts them again he goes there are eight went no no no no we need 10 count them again

four times he counted and there were $800 bills I said no no no let's look into the abundance of Heaven now really I don't even know how to do that we're looking through the wind screen down the highway but it's just a place you know and so we we look out the wind screen into the abundance of Heaven and then I said count them again and the fifth time he counted them there were 10 how how does he do that I have no idea it's called a miracle but he loves to do Miracles and in

this Kingdom it's a kingdom of Miracles and so the you know the key is recognizing his presence recognizing the one who has all authority in heaven and on Earth and so the first two agreements The first one is to recognize the presence of Jesus the real presence of him in the room yes he died but he came alive he rose from the dead he is alive he's not dead anymore and he says he's right here how does he do that how does he be in every congregation every assembly of people that gathers in his name

I have no idea it's a miracle how does I I I wonder about this Sometimes I think about it how does the Holy Spirit live inside everybody all over the world all at the same time I don't know it's a miracle but it's what he says is true and so I want to recognize that amazing asset do you know the holy spirit in me it says is the deposit the guarantees The Inheritance I mean think about that that's preposterous okay Steve so I just came Into a billion dollars and I need somebody to inherit it

I need to put somebody on my will okay would it be okay if I just signed you on as my Heir you're okay with that you sure you want to talk to your wife or pray about it okay so here's 250,000 just I'll drop in your bank account and that's a deposit on the whole billion you know so you can spend that and then you can draw off of the Billion okay see that 250,000 that's the deposit on The Inheritance deposits are usually little what's the deposit on our inheritance Holy Spirit who's he God whoa

the deposits God this is ridiculous the deposit on us having all the inheritance of Jesus Is God how much did Jesus inherit that's right Hebrews chapter 1 he became the heir of all things but it also says in Hebrews chapter one that he Created all things doesn't it say that okay so if he created them didn't he own them already wouldn't you say they were hers he made them why did he have to inherit them then hm good question he did it as a man for us because he gave man The Inheritance and man gave

it away to the enemy and Jesus goes no and so he came as a Man and won Back The Inheritance and then he gives it to us and we become co-s with Christ if he's the heir of all all things how many things are we coars of with him they hang out with me a lot and so this leads us to the third agreement so The First Agreement is the presence of God of Jesus very real in the midst of us second agreement is the Holy Spirit the reality of him in us Personally and corporately

even because it says we're we're like living stones being built together into a holy habitation of God by his spirit so all of us are the Temple of the Holy Spirit as well as each one of us individually it's crazy how that works okay the third agreement is it says in in Psalm 72 you're God who only does wonders everything he does is a miracle that's what he does he does Miracles okay and he wants to do them With me and this is what we ask everybody to agree on if he's the god of Miracles

if you look at the book in the beginning when he created everything he didn't he didn't need any help Father Son and Holy Spirit they just did it you know father got the idea the sun was the spoken word boom everything's created the holy spirit's brooding on the Waters vibrating bringing everything into creation that they just did It but after the creation he always used people when he did Miracles he you know he said he doesn't do anything except he tells his servants the prophets you know he just used people and he wants to use

us because that's who he is and so we want we ask our people to agree with the fact that it doesn't depend on how good I am or if I you know got up early enough and prayed enough if I fasted enough if I you know read enough Bible if I didn't watch movies or you know anything it's has nothing to do with that he wants to use me just say he wants to use me see that's his plan we think it's about us our plan this is performance again and I've got to get goodness

enough for him to use me now you'll never be good enough he made you good how many of you have ever tried to be Holy anybody ever tried to be holy yeah how'd that work out Holiness is a gift what's the name of that Spirit he put inside us yes that's all the Holiness there is in the universe the holy spirit of God and he gave it to you as a gift that Holiness is in you he who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

righteousness and Holiness are Gifts see everything's a gift this is Grace it's all a gift we've been made holy he says we're holy and Without Blame before him in love and so we've got to stop listening to the enemy who's trying to get us to perform so God can use us and we all we have to do is to go hey put me in coach here I am I want to play I can remember when I was a brand new believer um I I went to a meeting and there was This guy who was you

know he was kind of Crash he was obnoxious he was Brash you know loud outspoken and God was using him to do Miracles I said wow God how come you use that guy he goes hey he's available how about you see he's developing all of our character and we're being conformed to the character of Christ but he's not waiting till we have the character of Christ to use us he'll uses every step Along the way if we're available and so we want we ask our people to agree with the fact that he only does wonders

and he wants to use me we have a children's team of kids from 6 years old to 12 years old I call them our special forces when I want prayer I want the kids hey they just go after it no filters and they're great they're just you know I remember this six-year-old Boy he's playing with a little truck he's playing with his truck and I say hey will you pray for this lady he goes bam and he goes back to playing with his truck she gets healed oh he expected it we had a um how

we doing well we got time when do we go till 12 oh we got lots of time um we had a woman who came to the healing room she was 84 years old and she'd had Polio since birth and so um The right side of her body had not developed properly her right leg was was you know like significant shorter than her left leg and her joints didn't work and so she'd you know limped around all her life but she's an overcomer she had she was just full of joy and knew Jesus and she didn't

come in for you know the polio also her right arm was shorter than the other and those joints didn't work either so basically she's about paralyzed on the right side full of joy Lov Jesus she came in because she had back pain and so we're getting ready to pray for her and this one of our nine-year-old boys comes by and he he looks at her and he goes your leg's Too Short like I said no filters she tells him about polio and he's not impressed we don't want to be impressed with what the devil's doing

we want to be so impressed with Jesus and so he he says can we grow it out and now she Never thought about that she goes okay he says here sit down she sits down he holds her feet out and one's you know significantly shorter and he goes grow and the leg goes and shoots out I mean she's stunned she feels this happen we go hey get up and see what it feels like she gets up for the first time in 84 years she's standing on two legs the same length but the Wonder is that

when her leg shot out all the joints started working oh that's a Miracle so so I said wow what's something you've never been able to do she said well I've never walked up and down stairs properly I said oh wait we've got stairs out in the hall can we try it out and we took her out and I watched her walk up the stairs and turn around and for the first time in her life walked downstairs with both her legs working oh my goodness it was I mean her face was glorious and so I took

her to the testimony table she's You know sharing her whole story with the testimony recorder and I came back in about I don't know five or 10 minutes and she um she picks up a water bottle and she goes look at this she said I've never done this in my entire life when her leg grew her arm grew and all the joints in her arm got healed 84 years hey you're never too old to get healed oh Jesus he only does wonders and he wants to use me Sho okay and then the fourth agreement every

time we gather together we expect impossible things to happen and so our teams come on Saturday some of them I mean the young guys they're out Friday night partying all night they drag you know one of them asked hey could we start healing rooms like at noon instead of 7:45 in the morning no and so sometimes they're dragging themselves Out now I love to prepare myself for Saturday morning but even if you're not prepared when you come in with the agreement that oh we're getting together with our team and impossible things are going to happen

God only does wonders he's going to use me today and we're going to spend this hour recognizing his presence and recognizing his presence and then miracle happen every Saturday crazy healings happen wonderful things Happen Jesus and so those are simple things there's scriptural things that we can agree to that Jesus is in the midst of us because he says he is holy spirit's in us because he says he is he's a God of Wonders he does wonders and he wants to use me and so when we gather together wild fun things are going to happen

impossibilities are going to fall Miracles are going to break out and so When we choose to agree to those things it's this culture of I know I'm loved by God and I overflow with love and sometimes we have to um you know we have to deal with things I remember in the beginning of the year when the students the first year students from school first join our healing rooms we were having a glorious time and and everybody's just worshiping towards the center we're gathered in a big circle of you know like 250 people and I

sense This there's there's like a little irritation in the room or estatic and one of my interns a young lady came up to me and she goes there's something wrong and and we discerned what it was it was that there were some people there that were afraid that God couldn't use them because they'd never been in the healing rooms it was an intimidating thing you know all these miracles happen and they don't know how to do Miracles and so I Said hey everybody's facing the middle I'm standing in the middle he said I I said

um we some of us are thinking in terms of limitation of what's wrong with me of what I can't do what I haven't been able to do when I count to three I want you to turn around 180° and look outward into unlimited possibility and I counted to three and it was neat because everybody just jumped up and spun around I hadn't said anything about jumping they spun around And just you know shouted out and looked out and I stood in the middle looking at the backs of 250 people all looking into unlimited possibility and

everything broke open that day amazing things happened and and it was just you know it was a prophetic act but it was an act of wait we're not going to look at what we don't have and what we can't do we're going to look at what he says and what's possible and because all we're really doing when we see anybody get healed is We're partnering with what God wants to do what he's already doing he came to destroy the works of the enemy right that's what he said yep how Jesus of Nazareth went about doing

good healing all who were oppressed by the devil because God was with him okay every sickness and disease and everything is an oppression by the devil now it might not be a spirit of infirmity because he talked about sicknesses and diseases and he talked About spirits of infirmity and we want to discern when it's a spirit um but if we don't know just start going after healing and God will begin to show you when it's a spirit operating and then you take you get rid of that spirit and take that Spirit out and watch healing

come in and so no matter what it is it's still an oppression of the enemy even if it's a disease sometimes there you know demonic presences that come along with Sicknesses and diseases with Nam diseases sometimes not just a physical IAL breakdown sometimes U mental conditions are demonic sometimes they're just chemical breakdown where the brain's not functioning and messages aren't happening it doesn't matter he heals everything and sometimes we need to know and sometimes we don't but when we recognize his presence we just ask him what are we dealing with how do you want To

approach this thing you know we don't have to intellectually figure out we just just go what are you doing what are you saying Jesus only did what he saw the father do he only said what he heard him say and that's right you know just like last night as I was guiding everybody through it I wanted to guide people because we have our own habits about how we go about healing and sometimes people talk like they'll pray forever and and what you realize is it's As if they're trying to convince God and convince them themselves

and convince the person to get healed that's not how healing works we tell our people just pray short and let God do what he's going to do and don't get in the way a lot of times we'll come stand around somebody getting ready to pray and they'll go bam and hit the ground and go out and you know initially some of our people want to get down there and pray Over them and we say hey leave them alone God's doing something let God do it we had a um we had a man who was in

the healing rooms and he uh he had a knee problem and he got prayed for and then he's um he's standing in the healing rooms and and worships happening and there's art in the room and the presence of God is there and people are worshiping and uh the we have a dance team that's going around dancing through the room and it's Just a glorious Festival in the presence of God and he's standing there and he's thinking in this atmosphere Anything could happen and he's just thinking that thought and the dance team they all go dancing

by with streamers and stuff and one of the men on the dance team just stopped and said wow God just highlighted you to me what can we pray for you for he goes well I was just thinking that in this Atmosphere anything can happen and um I'm 30 years old and I was born blind in my left eye but I'd like to see the guy goes no problem and the dance team danced around him and he went bam and just went out in the spirit he gets up after a little while and he opens his

eye and he can see perfectly through his left eye but not only that he he hadn't encounter in heaven when he was out and he was Before the Throne of Jesus he Stood before Jesus looked into his eyes of fire and Jesus looked into him and he had a revelation of the face of Jesus he said God just opened my spiritual eyes and my physical eye and he's just weeping as he's sharing his testimony he had an encounter with God this is what it's all about when I'm praying for somebody I want to bring them

into an encounter with the love of God I don't want to try to tell them what they have to do we have too many we Tell our team it's not the coaching room it's not the counseling room oh it's the healing rooms oh yeah that's right we don't know how to heal so let's let God do it and we partner with what he's doing and so we want to step back from that place of performance of trying to perform form something to happen this healing is not an event it's not a program that I have

to do it right it's me and God and what are you doing I want to connect with this person I want to Connect with God and I want to watch and see what God's doing and so um it when we have that culture of Heaven all kinds of things happen but the one of the things that's so important is to realize that um I mean for sure it's not all about me just say it's not all about me that it's God's plan and I'm coming along in what he's doing I'm not trying To make him

do something I want to see happen okay I'm not running the show he's in the driver ever seat and I'm a passenger in the car I'm just going where he's going and you and there's freedom in this but but we need to step back and and this is really important when I pray for somebody sometimes I see a complete H healing happen instantly I love it I'd like that all The time sometimes I don't see anything happen but what I need to realize is my faith doesn't rise and fall depending on what I see because

I know we've made a deposit when we pray for somebody we make a deposit it's really just an act of obedience Jesus says lay hands on the sick and they'll recover says heal the sick raise the dead cleanse the lepers cast out demons he told his disciples that those are all impossible things and If you read the chapters he never tells them how to do it and we would like the steps how do you do this sometimes the the thing I mean Jesus is furiously uh a minimalist in telling us how things happen because he

doesn't want us to get the program you know get get the formula get the you know the pattern and go run and do it and make things happen he's wanting a Relationship he's wanting to partner with us to see miracles happen and so we don't know how to do it and it's okay I've had pastors come to me and go you know we're afraid of healing because we don't know how to do it and I go you know my team loves healing because we don't know how to do it because it's an opportunity to encounter

honor God in the third heaven and watch something happen he says we're seated with him in the Heavenly places and so from that Place we look into circumstance and situation and we speak into it and we're just obeying him and watching what he does and if we don't see it happen we still know that we've been obedient and he's released something into people and we so many times we hear the results I I shared some stories last night of people who experience healing after they leave and so you know we we've got to stop letting

discouragement come in when we don't see A result actually why don't we do something about that right now how many of you have ever felt disappointment because you prayed for somebody and didn't see them get healed [Music] huh if you haven't ever felt it you probably never prayed for hey we it's common okay there are disappointing circumstances but disappointment is a spirit when we partner with it and so Let let's just stand up we're going to do a prophetic act here how many of you really prayed for a loved one you pressed in you believe

believed and they didn't get healed perhaps they died they didn't something didn't happen Okay that can be discouraging it can be heartbreaking it can make you feel hopeless and what the enemy wants to do is he wants to derail You from believing God and praying for people because there's a religious offense that you've taken on against God because it didn't happen and so let's just give that to God right now let's you know this discouragement the hopelessness the weightiness the heaviness the disappointment it's like this heavy heavy blanket that's on us you know it's just

draped all over us and I want to Just invite you to take it off just like a prophetic act and throw it to the ground just take off that heavy heavy weight and throw it down it's not for you it's not yours yeah yeah God we just give up that hopelessness that hope defer y that disappointment that discouragement we give it up yeah we're not going to let that rule in our lives anymore and right now just reach your hands up and let him clothe you in a a Robe of righteousness from Heaven yeah robe

looking at The beauty of Springtime all around and um all of a sudden I remembered ways I'd been stuff I'd done and you know it just made me shudder I just went oh yuck and I heard the Holy Spirit in the truck with me say uh that boy's dead he said uh it's a sad story but he died and that's not who you are anymore you are a new creation and you know what I believed Him ha but I didn't know what a new creation was or how a new creation thought I just knew how

I'd experience life and so um I went I went to the word this was this was before goo Google this was back in the 1900s I got out a Bible and a piece of paper and I wrote out I went through the Bible and I found everything it says about who I am in Christ because I didn't know how a new creation thought Or acted and I wanted to know and so I you know this is actually the new modern version of it that I've typed out but I found two pages of things that tell

me who God says I am and so every morning I'd W wake up and I would read these over myself and then I went through and I found everything it says about Jesus who he is and that was like six pages and at night I would read those things because I want to go to sleep looking at who he Is and I wake up in the morning and then I read who he says I am and I just like to read these over us would that be okay okay so you you can just go in

receive mode okay it's it's all the word of God so trust me if you don't trust me you can you're you have the freedom to not but let's let the word of God speak for itself it says in Christ the word of God say says I am God's child for I'm born again of The Incorruptible seed of the word of God which lives and abides Forever I'm forgiven of all my sins and washed in the blood of Jesus I'm a new creation the Temple of the Holy Spirit I'm delivered from the power of darkness and

transported into God's kingdom I'm redeemed from the curse of the law I am blessed I'm a saint I am the head and not the tail above only and not beneath I am above circumstance I don't come under circumstance I'm holy and Without Blame before him in love I am elect chosen Established to the end made near by the blood of Christ I am victorious set free strong in the Lord dead to sin more than a conqueror a joint air with Christ I'm sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise I am in Christ Jesus by God's

doing I'm accepted in the Beloved complete in him crucify with Christ alive with Christ free from condemnation reconciled to God qualified to share in his inheritance I am firmly rooted built up established in my faith And overflowing with gratitude I am a fellow citizen with the Saints and of the household of God and I'm born of God and the evil one does not touch me that's what it says oh but you don't know the evil one touches me no no no God says I've been born of God and the evil one does not touch me

I'm choosing to agree with you God I'm in the world as you are in heaven I'm your fa faithful follower I'm Overtaken with blessing I'm your disciple because I have love for others I'm the salt of the earth and the light of the world I'm the righteousness of God a partaker of your divine nature called of God the first fruit among your creation an ambassador for Christ I'm God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works I'm Healed by the stripes of Jesus being changed into His Image beloved of God raised up with Christ and

power of the Holy Spirit to lay hands on the sick and see them recover as well as power to cast out demons I have authority over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by enemy means harm me I am in Christ and he is in me what if everything he said was true what if we choose to embrace it as the truth to receive it the truth is a Gift it's his grace and we choose to receive it we can look at every one of those and we can listen to the voice of

the accuser telling us where we don't measure up to those things but it's not about us attaining these things they're a gift they say it's all a gift and we get to just choose to receive it and to allow that to become our reality to wallow in his truth and his promises to wallow in who he says we are We've wallowed for long enough in who the devil said we weren't let's turn around and roll around in who God says we are let's get it in us and on us and upon us every morning I'd

I'd say these things until until they became what I knew and then the enemy could tell me a lie and they go sorry y I'm indoctrinated with the truth and deception doesn't work anymore but you see if we don't know who we Are we waver back and forth with whatever the strongest voice is whatever the evidence is yeah but my evidence isn't of natural things it's a supernatural thing yep God deals with me According To Jesus and he gives me Everything Jesus deserves I don't get what I deserve anymore I get what Jesus deserves and

I choose to listen to the voice of God to hear him to believe in His presence to let him dwell in me let the word of God dwell in me richly with all wisdom let the spirit of God dwell in me yeah yeah putting on the new man which after God has created in righteousness and true holiness I choose to participate in what God says about me and what God says about you what God says about healing and you know many times we read books about healing but I I read the Gospels over and over

and I use the healing model of Jesus what he said and what he did what he didn't say and what he didn't do I just do what he says because he says the things that I do you'll doing Greater Works than these because I go to the father that's good enough for me yeah we have to stop letting our observation negate the truth of the word of God and begin to embrace those things that seem invisible to look into the Unseen things because the things that we see are passing away but the things that we

don't see they're Eternal and so I I find him in his word and I begin to partner with them to embrace them to talk to him personally about them yeah we can we can come before God and argue his gifts and his truth or we can Come before God and say yes please yes please this is the simple licity of Christ yes please just say that yes please to all of these that you say about me yes please yeah I didn't earn these things yeah the world isn't telling me them the enemy is not telling

me these but you say them I choose to believe them and I embrace your truth yeah thank you God thank you Jesus yep thank you for this group of Believers in this room God whoops thank you that you're here thank you take us into all truth Holy Spirit Spirit yeah continue to make of this amazing group of people a powerful beautiful glorious bride without spot or Blemish yeah people from different streams who've come together yep take them back into their streams yeah to see the river of God flowing flowing in every stream the river of
