THANKFUL FOR SEPTEMBER 2023

And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:16 [KJV]

The mystery of thanksgiving is so powerful that to exist in divine health, you must function in thanksgiving as a way of life. In Matthew 8:1-4 we saw a leper coming in to Yahushua with worship. Matthew 8:2 says, “And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.” Before you can worship, you must have passed the gate of thanksgiving. You cannot worship if you are ungrateful. So, this leper was thankful and that led to worship. What we are trying to say is that for you to draw the attention of the Lord to a case, you must approach with thanksgiving and praise. That is the only language divine intervention hears. If you ever want to live in divine health, or to even be healed, you must exist in thanksgiving as a lifestyle. We are taking today out to say “thank You Father” for all you have done for us, but it must not end today. Thanksgiving is key to being healed and maintaining your healing. When the leper came to Yahushua worshipping, he got instant response and attention. Whenever you come worshipping, your case is attended to instantly.

STOP SEEKING WHAT IS NOT MISSING

STOP SEEKING WHAT IS NOT MISSING

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians 1:13 (KJV)

Whenever you are seeking for what is not missing, frustration will become your second name. Almost all of us have experienced that time when you are looking for something, (it has happened to me with socks). You just cannot find this thing that you saw a while ago. Where did this thing disappear to? You turn over almost everything in the house looking for this one thing that is seemingly missing. But all the while you were looking frantically for it, it was in your hands or pocket but somehow it was just occluded from you. I asked everybody in the house, please did you see so so and so? Then someone just looks at you and calls your attention to your hands or pocket and asked, “is it not the socks that you are looking for that is in your hand or pocket?” To your amazement and utter dumbfoundedness, you truly saw it in your hand or pocket. It may have taken you an hour of frantic searching. But fortunately, what you were searching was not missing but has always been there with you just that you couldn’t see it. That is the same case with so many believers running from pillar to post looking for deliverance. Whether it is deliverance from generational curse, ancestral curse, Satan, or whatever, you have already been delivered. Our opening texts told us so and the Word cannot be broken.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (6): BY AGREEMENT PRAYER

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (6): BY AGREEMENT PRAYER

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 18:19 (KJV)

Prayer of agreement is coming into agreement with your brethren with regards to your healing. It is coming to a point of faith with anyone that is available to pray with you and both of you or all of you coming to a common conclusion of faith concerning the matter agreed upon and prayed upon. When such unity in the spirit is established, then you have an assurance from the Word of Yahweh that whatever you people agreed will be done by our heavenly Father. If you are attacked by sickness, then find someone with whom you can come into unity of faith and agree concerning your healing. The only issue with this method is that you must be in unity of faith for you to have what you prayed for. Reverend Kenneth E. Hagin narrated a story of a woman that came to him to agree with her concerning her healing. So he prayed with this dear sister and they agreed that she is now healed and said Amen! Then Pa Hagin said after they opened their eyes “Sister is it done?” She then said “Brother Hagin, I sure hope it is.” Pa Hagin said to her, “it isn’t, It isn’t. I’m believing and you’re hoping. There is no agreement here. It didn’t work.” Do you see what we are talking about. You must find that one person that will agree with you in faith, not someone that if you are believing, the person will be hoping. There is no agreement in such situation.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (5): BY DECLARING IT

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (5): BY DECLARING IT

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23 [KJV]

There is a spiritual law that will work for you or against you whether you are conscious of it or not; whether you know that the law exists or not. That spiritual law is captured in our opening text: You shall have whatsoever you say. Your prayer notwithstanding, you shall have whatsoever you say. You know you can holler in prayer so loud and still afterwards continue to talk in ways that are not consistent with the Word. Your words can cancel your prayer. Not what you prayed but what you say after the prayer is established for you. You can come to a man of Yahweh who lays hands on you and prayed and as you come out of his presence someone asks you, “how are you doing?”. Your answer to that simple question can cancel the prayer that was just made for you by your pastor. That is a spiritual principle. You shall have whatsoever you say. If you are constantly talking sickness and disease, you will never be able to walk in divine health because you will have whatsoever you say. “I am sick” keeps you in perpetual sickness. “My head is aching”, activates the ache that the devil has been waiting for you to accept. This is very vital.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (4): LAMBANO IT BY FAITH

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew 9:29 (KJV)

The power of Yahweh is always constant, the variable is our faith. In many instances of the people that Yahushua HaMashiach healed, he alluded that it was their faith that procured the healing for them. Our opening verse is one of those. Two blind men followed Yahushua one time. I sincerely didn’t know how they did, maybe some folks helped them by leading them by the hands. They were crying “Thou Son of David, have mercy on us”. That was intensive prayer. Crying shows their desperation for a change of situation. Where there is faith, prayer is usually intensive. All these praying and sleeping is just to show that it is not yet serious; when it is serious and you need a change, you would cry out like these blind men. But crying as good as it is, is not enough to secure you your testimony. Yahushua asked them, ‘Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.’ (Matthew 9:28). ‘29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.’(Matthew 9:29-30). Beloved, it is always according to your faith. With your charged faith in the Word of Yahweh, you can secure your healing on your own on your altar of prayer. It is all about your faith.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (3): BY THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (3): BY THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:18 (KJV)

It is important to clarify here and now that the healer is Yahushua HaMashiach. He is the Great Physician who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. When Yahushua HaMashiach finished his earthly ministry, he gave us a person that is just like him called the Holy Spirit to continue his ministry. He commissioned the disciples that later were called apostles to go and preach and do all those things he was doing. He said, ‘as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.’ (John 20:21). Now Yahushua HaMashiach is in us in the person of the Holy Spirit. So whenever we walk according to the Word of Yahweh, whatever medium that He asked us to use per time, becomes the manifestation of the Spirit of Yahweh to effect the release of the Power of Yahweh. Today the Lord Yahushua is commanding us to lay our hands on the sick and that they will recover. When we walk in obedience and lay our hands, those hands becomes the extension of His hands because He lives in us by the Spirit of Yahweh.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (2): BY THE ANOINTING OIL

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (2): BY THE ANOINTING OIL

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
James 5:15 (KJV)

The ways of Yahweh are surely higher than our ways (see Isaiah 55:9). Finite human mind sometimes wants to understand the omniscience of Yahweh and that is what most times short-circuits him from the power of Yahweh. It is obedience to the Word of Yahweh that commands results to the believer not trying to figure Yahweh out. Yahweh may not be making sense to your little sense but His power is activated upon obedience to that seemingly nonsense instruction. The Anointing Oil is a medium through which the Holy Spirit flows to touch lives. Yahweh commands prophets to administer this mystery of the Anointing Oil and upon obedience, the Spirit of Yahweh comes upon the object and consecrates it. In the Old Testament, the Anointing Oil was specially formulated according to Yahweh’s instruction in Exodus 30:22-38. No other person is permitted to make such formulation or use it. Upon anything that the Holy Anointing Oil comes, it consecrates, setting it apart for Yahweh’s use. In I Samuel 16:13 the Word says, ‘Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.’ It was the oil that Prophet Samuel poured on David but upon that oil coming in contact with David, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him.

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (1) BY CASTING OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT RESPONSIBLE

RECEIVE YOUR HEALING (1) BY CASTING OUT THE EVIL SPIRIT RESPONSIBLE

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Luke 13:16 (KJV)

From all we have learnt so far, it is obvious that sickness is from Satan. It does not matter the name the laboratory gave it, it is called the spirit of infirmity and it can manifest with so many names. The Lord Yahushua came into the house of Peter and saw Peter’s wife’s mother sick with what the doctor or laboratory called fever but when the Lord Yahushua touched her the fever left. (see Matthew 8:14-15). That shows you that it was a spirit behind that fever and it was the spirit that left and when it did, the resultant fever was gone too (see Luke 4:38-39). In Mark 9:17-27, we saw a person dumb and deaf but when the Lord Yahushua attended to him, we saw that it was a spirit of dumb and deaf that held him in bondage. In the laboratory, it was discovered that he was dumb and deaf maybe because of physical malfunction of organs but without any medical solution when that evil spirit responsible for that condition was cast out, he was able to speak and hear. Littered in scripture are examples that shows us that whatever your condition that it is the spirit of infirmity behind that operation and manipulation.

SICK? CHECK IF YOU ARE IN LOVE

SICK? CHECK IF YOU ARE IN LOVE

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:21 (KJV)

The love of Yahweh is a protective shield over your life and destiny, hence the admonition to keep yourself in the love of Yahweh. Without the love of Yahweh, you are vulnerable to the attacks of Satan. So whenever you are attacked by sickness, it is wisdom to check if you are walking in love towards Yahweh and the brethren. Walking in love towards Yahweh implies that you are keeping his commandments. I John 5:3 says, ‘For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.’ If you are willfully living in sin, then you don’t love Yahweh and not walking in love will expose you to Satanic attacks with sickness and diseases.

SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

SICK? CHECK FOR UNFORGIVENESS

And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Matthew 18:34 (KJV)

In Matthew 18:21-35, an interesting discussion with Yahushua and his disciples ensued. It started by Apostle Peter asking Yahushua, ‘how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?’ (vs 21). The Lord Yahushua answered him ‘I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.’ (vs 22). He then went ahead to tell them that the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a certain king, which was settling accounts with his servants. One was brought to him who owed him 10,000 talents and as he did not have anything to pay his debt, the king commanded that he, his wife, children and all that he had be sold and debt recovered. This servant fell down and worshipped this king saying “lord have patience with me, and I will pay you all.”(vs 26). The lord of that servant was moved with compassion and loosed him and forgave him the debt. But this same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a 100 pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying “Pay me that you owe.” His fellow servant fell down at his feet begging him saying, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” but he wouldn’t be persuaded but went and cast him into prison till he should pay the debt. When his fellow servants saw what was done, they were very sad and came and told their lord. Then his lord sent for him and said “You evil servant; I forgave you all that debt because you begged me, should you not have had compassion on your fellow servant even as I had on you?” His lord was angry and delivered him to the tormentors till he should pay all that he owed him. The Lord Yahushua concluded this story by saying, ‘So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.’(vs 35).
