The Healing Power of the Holy Spirit 0:00 You know, we're gonna, pastor Adam did an amazing job. The first week talked about the Holy Spirit and Holstein. Then last week, he talked about the helper of the Holy Spirit. And today, I'm gonna talk about the healer0:10 of the Holy Spirit. And I wanna prepare you. If it's anything like last services, the altar is gonna be flooded with people that normally would not come to an altar. And God is0:22 gonna call out so many things in you that go beyond physical healing, emotional and mental healing is gonna take place in this place. And then many of you think you're alright, but you're not alright under0:34 God's definition of being alright. You're alright by society. You're you're a functioning person. But just because you're a functioning person doesn't mean you're a whole person0:45 under God's sight. And God's gonna touch you. It's gonna be amazing today. And and and then God's gonna revive some vision in some people that have lost their visions and their dreams and they're0:57 low in spirit because maybe they failed or messed up or they just become passive and God wants to reengage people. So we're gonna have a great time, in a few moments. So would you stand for the reading of God's word1:09 and we're gonna read the opening passage today and it reads like this in Luke. This is from the AMPC version. Then Jesus went back full and under the power of the Holy Spirit. How1:21 many of you would like that in your life? Full and under the power of the Holy Spirit. That's just not for preachers, clergy. That's for you. You need it on your jobs. You need1:33 it in your homes. You need it with your families. I don't wanna be operating on empty. I wanna be full. And I wanna be full of the power and presence of God, the Holy Spirit. And it said, and his fame spread1:45 throughout the whole region round about. Now watch this. The spirit of the Lord, Jesus said this is his first sermon that he ever preached. He said, The spirit of the Lord, which is the Holy Spirit is upon me. AndJesus' Ministry and Modern-Day Plagues 1:56 now he's gonna describe the evidence or the manifestations of the Holy Spirit on a person, but talking about Jesus. He has anointed me to2:08 preach the good news. How many of you believe that you should be preaching the good news? How many of you recognize I need the anointing, the power and presence of God to do that? If not, it's just theology, it's2:19 religion, it's chatter, and people ain't gonna listen to it. But he says, then he says, to preach the good news to the poor. The poor is not just simply talking about people2:31 that have no money, poverty, or homelessness. He's talking about the condition of 1 spirit, they're poor. He has sent me to announce the releasing of the captives. That's speaking of people2:43 bound in sin. The darkness, the wickedness, the ungodliness of sin. Then he says, and recovery the sight to the blind. That's speaking of physical2:55 healing. So he's telling you all the things that define Jesus's ministry from every other guru, philosopher, theorist that has ever walked the face of this earth. So there was a3:07 physical element of healing in his ministry. Send me This is huge. Send me forth as to deliver those that are oppressed. He was able to cast out3:18 devils, people full of the devil, people intimidated, manipulated, dominated, oppressed, and tormented in their minds. Jesus said this, and he describes it,3:31 downtrodden. I know if there's people in this room. There's people in this room bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity, and you may be seated. All those things I believe Jesus is3:43 gonna do today, in this room, amongst us today, and it's gonna be amazing. When I was 18 years old, only just a few months before I had gotten saved, I had heard the gospel. I grew up as a3:54 Catholic. This was just my testimony. And I had never heard that Jesus had died for the healing of my body. I didn't hear I didn't understand that by his stripes, we were healed. We never taught4:06 were taught that in the Catholic church. But I finished my cross country season as a senior in high school, and now is going into track season. My goal was to get a scholarship to4:18 run for, don't be offended, for the UCLA Bruins. Fight on. Anyways, it was my goal. So, my friend went there and I started,4:30 training with the collegiate athletes and I was able to run with them and we were putting in a lot of great miles. And I was I just had so much, ambitions and goals for that track season that was gonna4:42 take place. I had my first race in early May and broke all kinds of records and ran a phenomenal time. And, I just thought it's gonna be great. Well, I had4:54 a 6 period before before track, and I was just an aid to the gymnastics coach. And when that period5:06 ended, the runway was there, the springboard was there, and the horse was there. So I decided to be Simone Biles, and I ran down it. I springboard off and my5:17 thigh hit the horse and I flipped over. Needless to say, I couldn't get up. I tore all the ligaments in my thigh and there went my season. I wore crutches, I gimped and I limped it the whole5:29 way. I couldn't run a race at all because of the pain level was so strong. 2 weeks before league finals and I couldn't train was the first time that I would try to test it. But let5:41 me go back because every day I would pray, Lord, I thank you that you are my healer. And according to the law of first Peter 2 24, you healed me God. And so I believe that whatever5:53 damage took place is gonna get healed, and I believe that I'm gonna be able to run league finals. I was praying that every day. Well, 2 weeks before I ran it, and I ran this race, this mile6:05 race, and I ran terribly. I ran slower than I'd ever run before. I ran like a 5 15 mile, which was really slow for me back then. And I was gimping and the coach told me get off. You're, you know, you're hurting yourself,6:16 Diego. And I but I just kept believing God. 2 weeks later, I won league and I I ran as fast as I've ever run before. It was the first time as a senior in high school that6:28 I tested the word whether it be true. And I found out that God is a healer and it was a miraculous that I could get on that starting line, let alone win6:40 the race and run my fastest time. Jesus is a healer. Well, here's what you need to recognize. Where do you go when you will feel downtrodden, when you are overwhelmed with calamity? Who do6:52 you turn to and what do you do when you feel the diseases of this world? Because here's what I know, this world is is more diseased7:04 than it's ever been before. Notice how I played with the word. Because I'm not just talking about physical ailments today. I'm talking about the disease that's in people's marriages,7:16 on their jobs, with their children, in relationships, the sleepinessness, the stress in their lives, the worry, the fear, the anger, all these are7:28 diseases of society and where are we gonna go. So here are the 3 things that I wanna share with you as I have the few moments with you. The first thing is to define again what7:40 Jesus's ministry look like. So in Acts 10 38, we get introduced to this word. How God anointed power and presence of God7:51 gifted gifted him. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power. Say say power. Power. Okay. So this word8:03 power is where we get the word, dunamis from, or the English word dynamite from. It is an explosive power. It's a demonstrative8:14 power. It's a power that is unlimited. It's a power to go against any opposition and adversity and overcome it. And it says, how God anoint Jesus as with with8:26 Holy Ghost and power. How many of you know the church needs that power? How many of you know the world needs to see Christians with that power?8:38 He says, going about doing good and healing all that are oppressed of the devil. And people today are being bound and people are being8:50 oppressed by the devil. And this is what Jesus's ministry look like. Because we live in a world that's sick if you don't recognize it. And there's all kinds of sicknesses in the world. And again,9:02 it isn't just simply a physical sickness. It could be an emotional sickness, a mental sickness. It could be a spiritual sickness in people's lives. And the plagues of9:14 today are are are are raging rampant over this world today. It almost seems like every plot and every plan that the enemy has is prevailing. And it would9:26 seem like people in humanity have no answers, no remedies, no solution, and it become prey to the oppression of the enemy. So we have modern day plagues that are taking place9:38 that Amazon can't solve, Safari can't solve, Fentanyl can't solve, marijuana can't solve, religion can't solve, sex, pleasure, leisure,9:50 fame, fortune cannot solve. We got an issue. My spirit is sick. My soul, my mind is sick. And it's making10:02 my body sick. And these are the 3 realms that Jesus came. So today, we've got plagues all over the place. They may not look like the plagues10:13 of 3000 years ago when Moses was faced with the plagues in Egypt. But they are just as destructive as those plagues were or you hear in10:25 a third world country where a plague breaks out. Let me talk a little bit about the plagues of today. Violence is soaring. Racism10:37 is soaring. Alright. Here's 1. Political unrest. Do you believe that's a plague of today? Yeah. And and a lot of Christians are falling victim to that. It's okay. You're in the right place today.10:49 God's gonna minister peace and rest to you today. Idolatry. People are worshiping every god that's on this planet. The god of fame and fortune,11:01 athletics, sports. People are people are full of the Antichrist spirit. It's a plague today. There was a time when our11:13 nation was honored, God fearing. I grew up in the times hard to believe where prayer was in my school, and crosses were on my buildings, and bibles were acceptable.11:26 But I'm talking about just 55 years later, you better not bring that stuff in the public arenas. It's not allowed in our schools. But you can allow everything else to exist with protests11:38 and and parades, but don't let that bible, don't let that Jesus, don't let that Christian stuff, don't let that prayer stuff. It's a plague. We become a hedonistic, agnostic.11:53 I could go on and on of the homelessness. Nobody could solve the homelessness. Nobody can stop it. But here's an answer. Let's go back12:05 to what solved the plagues of a thousands of years ago. There was a plague of destruction in the land. The cry of brokenness was all over the land.12:18 And God gave the answer to his people. He said, you go find an unblemished lamb and you get the blood of that lamb and you put it12:30 on the entry of your household. So that when destruction comes, it will pass over because it sees the blood. The blood is Jesus Christ.12:42 John said, the lamb of God that was slain before the foundation of the world. We put Jesus back in our homes. We put Jesus back in our prayers. We put Jesus's power, dunamis power back in our12:54 lives. And we believe that no weapon formed against me will prosper, and nothing will hurt me, and not afraid of the plagues of this world. God's protection, God's power, God'sThe Role of Believers in Healing 13:06 preservation is more than enough to watch over me. I'm not gonna walk in fear. I'm not gonna walk in terror. I'm not gonna walk around scared or frightened. I believe in the13:18 power of the cross and the shed blood of Jesus Christ be more than enough. But the devil doesn't want you to know that.13:30 Devil don't want you to know that. I don't know about you. I'm tired of these band aid fixes.13:42 Yeah. These tourniquet solutions. Yeah. These therapeutical counseling session. I'm not saying anything wrong with that. How many do I have to go through before I'm better?13:57 How much thousands of dollars, not against it, do I have to spend? And yet, we have an antidote. And our antidote in the Bible is called14:09 Jehovah Rapha. The antidote in the Bible is called the great physician. In the Bible, he calls himself. He calls himself. We don't call him. He calls himself the bomb of14:20 Gilead. He calls himself the bronze serpent lifted up. And if you look on the bronze serpent, you'll be healed of all the bite snakes of this world. In Isaiah,14:32 he's the substitution. In Matthew, he is the burden bearer and the yoke destroyer. And in second Peter, he is the legal rightful exchange that by his stripes14:44 he took for us, we have the right to be healed. Notice these 2 scriptures I'm gonna give you in Matthew and in Matthew 9. It says this, and Jesus went all about Galilee. These14:56 are this is the 3 pronged approach of Jesus's ministry. Teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom. And watch what it says, healing all kinds of sicknesses and all Do you think that's really15:08 true? All kinds? Really? It is not headaches? What do you think what do you think all kinds of sicknesses and diseases mean?15:20 Do you think that those are things that are terminal? Yes. Do you think those are things that where people are on death beds? Do you believe that that's cancer stage 4?15:32 Do you think that's Do you think he meant lupus or no, no, no, no, no, no. Glaucoma, rheumatoid arthritis. Do you think15:44 all those autoimmune diseases are are are within this description? Okay. Let's go look at another scripture, a 9. Jesus went about the cities, villages, teaching their synagogue,15:56 preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every? Yes. Really? Every sickness and every disease. In other words, any condition that came to Jesus's presence,16:08 he was able to heal. And not 1 time can you prove to me in the bible that he said it's not my will or oh my God or oh myself, I can't do this.16:20 And leave them in that sick condition. Just show me 1 evidence because then we'll say, okay, then you don't have a right to be healed. And good luck, you might be the lottery pick that God chooses. But it says16:32 everyone. Look at somebody and tell somebody that includes you. 4 weeks ago, I was I've been traveling and we've been honored16:44 to do what we are doing. And I was in Vancouver, Washington, and I just got the letter about 3 days ago from the pastor, and it was a 3 page letter written to him, and he forwarded it to16:56 me. And it was a police officer who's suffering from post trauma stress disorder.17:10 Few moments. And he said he came forward and I asked him to come forward. And and he innocently in the letter says this, if this Mexican pastor touches17:22 me, I know I'm gonna be healed. Then he put it out another thing on God and God's not intimidated by your request. He said, if this Mexican pastor touches my face then I know for17:33 sure that I it's gonna be immediate. He said, I walked down the aisle and I touched his face and I looked him into the eyes and I called it out PSTD,17:46 and he said, I've been set free ever since for the last 4 weeks. Imagine you getting on a cruise ship today. How17:59 many of you know you pay a fee? Pay a fee. Normally, what that fee does, it gives you access with the payment of that fee to food. You go to the buffet. How18:11 many of you realize that? How many of you could go to the gym with that? How many of you could go and enjoy the recreation with that? How many of you could go and enjoy the entertainment with that?18:22 Imagine you paying the money, and you just simply stayed in the in the in the room, and and just poured it in the cities, and and then got off. You'd be living beneath your privileges.18:35 The price of the ticket gave you all these benefits to enjoy. That's Calvary. It's the forgiveness of sins. It's the deliverance of your mind and it's the healing18:47 of your body. Point number 2 is how the disciples were used in the healing ministry. Spirit, soul, and body. In Matthew 1018:59 in verse number 1, it reads, and when he had called us 12 to him, he gave them what? Power. Power. There it is, dynamite, dunamis, not a watered down version,19:11 not a less than version, not a struggling with the enemy version, over unclean spirits to cast them out, not to counsel them19:22 out, not even to pray. I'm full of the devil. Would you pray for me? No. I ain't gonna pray for you. I'm gonna cast out the devil over you. That's what I'm19:34 gonna do. Everything, cast them out and heal all kinds of sicknesses and all kinds of diseases. So now, disciples go out and the next verse tells us here,19:48 to heal the sick because they were now representatives of Jesus Christ. Jesus could not be everywhere. He can't He's not coming back to this earth to do his ministry. You and20:00 I are representatives, vehicles and vessels of him to heal the sick, cleanse the Oh, I can't do that. I know that that's why you don't. Cleanse the Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the20:12 dead, cast out demons freely as you have received freely as you have give. Now, we're gonna go 1 more scripture here in Luke because you say, oh, that was the original 12. Well, what do you do with this scripture then?20:22 After these things, the Lord appointed 70. Also, we don't even know their names And sent them out 2 by 2 before the face of every city, place where he himself was20:34 about about to go. And here's what that happened. Behold, I give to you authority, power to trample on serpents and scorpions. That's every principality.20:46 That's every strong man. That's every stronghold. That's every witch, every warlock, every curse, every hex, every potion, everything that looks like witchcraft. I give you20:58 power over the enemy and20:59 I love20:59 this. Nothing nothing nothing shall by You know what? Wave your wand in front of me. Wave your broomstick in front of me. Throw your potions and incense at me.21:11 Nothing shall by any means hurt me. I'm covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, and there's no greater power.21:25 So Jesus was talking about giving them a level of victory to cast out devils and and and enter into a victory in their mental in the mental realm where the enemy was21:37 was tormenting people, And where the he was oppressing people and and obsessing people with all kinds of thoughts like grief, and sorrow, and jealousy, and bitterness, and21:49 resentment, and hatred, and in lying, and anxiety, and worry, and fear, and suicide, and strife, and complaining, and shame, and lust, and22:00 depression, and heaviness, and hopelessness, and covetousness. That's what people are being plagued with today. There was a guy in the Bible like that. His name was the22:12 madman of Gadera. And he's a guy that suffered from stress disorder. Because when we meet up with him, he cannot sit. He runs around naked22:25 and he's not in his right mind. But when Jesus sets him free with the word of God, because he is the walking living breathing word, And he takes authority over that spirit. The Bible tells22:37 us what the end results are. The Bible tells us that he is seated. See people that are struggling with the stress disorder, they fidgety all the time, they're looking22:49 all the time, they anything could alert them or distract them, but to have rest and finally be seated in a posture he23:01 had never been before. And then he was clothed. He's not under the shame of what he was doing, the guilt of what he was doing, the embarrassment of what he was doing. And I love this, he23:13 was in his right mind. A lot of people today are not in their right mind. They wish they could have good thoughts, righteous thoughts, holy thoughts, pure thoughts,23:25 but I get perverse thoughts, I have wayward thoughts, I have destructive thoughts, I have hatred thoughts. I want you to know that God healed the woman at the well from her23:36 issues of life. And they were they were mental, emotional issues because she slept around. She dealt with the memory and of of all that. I don't know if she went to23:48 orgy, she may have. I don't know if she did the upside down hippopotamus with every dick and hairy, but she need to be delivered of that. And I don't know if she had threesomes,24:00 but she and I'm trying to be funny. The anguish, the terror, the memory of where sin drove me to just24:12 to survive. To take care of my babies. I need to be delivered. I'm a24:24 functioning person. I got my act together. See all my see see my waves I got? See my nails? See how cute I am in my Mercedes I drove up in?24:36 I'm functioning, but I'm not whole. Nathaniel is a skeptic. Jesus ministers24:48 to his emotional need. Peter is a failure. He'll minister to his need. Saul is under He's a murderer. He'll minister to that need.25:01 See, the average Lego is about a hundred pieces. Here's a Lego put together here. Now I'm gonna take this 1 piece off, but how many of you25:13 know this still functions as a Lego? Still looks good as a Lego. And most of you would never ever see the 1 little piece25:26 that's missing. I'm gonna have to go to the creator, the originer, the 1 that made this to see exactly what is25:37 missing. And until you go to God, you will never know what is missing in your life. You think you got your act together?26:01 Girls go like this with their hip on their guys go like this with their hand in the palm. This little piece, God says, I got to give it back26:13 to you. You're not whole. You're full of criticalness, you're full of jealousy, you're full of envy, you're full of competition, you're bitter, you're angry. I got to heal that.26:26 And the last point is this, it's wonderful that the Holy Spirit used Jesus. It's wonderful that the Holy Spirit used the disciples. But Acts 1 8 says this, but you shall receive26:38 you. You. You. But you shall receive power. Deuteronomy. Dynamite power. When the Holy Spirit has come upon you, Holy Spirit, would26:50 you come on us afresh and anew in this place? I don't care how long we've been saved. I don't care if we've already been filled with the Holy Spirit. Baptize us afresh and anew in your power.27:02 And then the Bible says in Mark 16, what now further believers. That's you now. And these signs will follow those that believe. Signs are supposed to follow you. Religion27:14 has no signs. It's just words. This is a proving gospel, and God loves to prove himself to people. These why don't we see27:25 signs today because you don't believe for signs? Because since these signs will follow those who believe, not those who are believers,27:43 coworker tells them a diagnosis, they don't just sit there dumbfounded with their compassionate tears and and say, I'll pray for you, but don't really pray. So you let me pray for you right27:55 now. We're gonna believe God right now that God is gonna heal you. That's what he's talking about. And in my name, they will cast out devils, demons.28:07 And they will speak in new tongues that's being filled with the holy spirit with the evidence speaking to they will take up serpents and you take that's divine protection in all forms of all fashion from drink to food28:19 to stray bullets to whatever. And by no and and it will by no means hurt you, then you're gonna lay hands on the sick and you're gonna they're gonna recover. This was a normal thing for28:31 Jesus's ministry. It was a normal thing for his disciples, and it ought to be a normal thing for his church today. This is what the world needs. People full of the Holy Ghost. Not28:43 spooky, not stupid, not weird. People that go home, work jobs, but they're led by the Holy Spirit to minister to the28:55 diseases in people's bodies, minds, and spirits. I'll end with this, the reason why we don't see the power of the Holy Spirit isShow more In this video 0:00 The Healing Power of the Holy Spirit1:52 Jesus' Ministry and Modern-Day Plagues13:04 The Role of Believers in Healing29:02 Receiving and Sharing Healing
