We need our minds to be illuminated by The Holy Spirit.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 22:

1   Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, flowing with water clear as crystal, continuously pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 The river was flowing in the middle of the street of the city, and on either side of the river was the Tree of Life, with its twelve kinds of ripe fruit according to each month of the year. The leaves of the Tree of Life are for the healing of the nations. 3 And every curse will be broken and no longer exist, for the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there in the city. His loving servants will serve Him;

4  they will see constantly his face, and His Name will be on their foreheads.

5 Night will be no more. They will never need the light of the sun or a lamp, because the Lord God will shine on them (illuminate them). And they will reign as kings forever and ever!

Jesus spoke in John 6:

47 “I speak to you living Truth: Unite your heart to Me and believe—and you will experience Eternal Life!

Believing is having!  Mental assent admires The Word and confesses The Word as true and very desirable but it doesn’t possess.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 5:

4  When Jesus had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your Word I will let down the net.”

Peter responded to The Word rather than his past experience through sense knowledge.  Are we willing to do the same in all areas of our lives?

Jesus spoke in John chapter 2:

1  Now on the third day there was a wedding feast in the Galilean village of Cana, and the mother of Jesus was there.

2-3 Jesus and his disciples were all invited to the banquet, but with so many guests in attendance, they ran out of wine. And when Mary realized it, she came to Him and asked, “They have no wine, can’t You do something about it? ”

4 Jesus replied, “My dear one, don’t you understand that if I do this, it won’t change anything for you, but it will change everything for Me! My hour of unveiling My power has not yet come.”

5 Mary then went to the servers and told them, “Whatever Jesus tells you, make sure that you do it!”

6 Now there were six stone water pots standing nearby. They were meant to be used for the Jewish washing rituals. Each one held about 20 gallons or more.

It has been mathematically determined that the total amount of water to be turned into wine was 153, the numeric value of “Sons of GOD”.  On the third day which is now, there is to be a transformation of the Sons of GOD.

7 Jesus came to the servers and told them, “Fill the pots with water, right up to the very brim.”

8 Then He said, “Now fill your pitchers and take them to the master of ceremonies.”

9 And when they poured out their pitcher for the master of ceremonies to sample, the water became wine! When he tasted the water that became wine, the master of ceremonies was impressed. (Although he didn’t know where the wine had come from, but the servers knew.)

10 He called the bridegroom over and said to him, “Every host serves his best wine first until everyone has had a cup or two, then he serves the wine of poor quality. But you, my friend, you’ve reserved the most exquisite wine until now!”

11 This miracle in Cana was the first of the many extraordinary miracles Jesus performed in Galilee. This was a sign revealing His glory, and his disciples believed in him.

Jesus demonstrated His glory with signs and wonders.  We are to do the same by revealing His glory in us!  As we are fully illuminated, we will see signs and wonders according to the commission given to us by Jesus Himself!

The commission of healing the sick begins with proclaiming Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and fully relying on The Word rather than sense knowledge.

Sense knowledge is limited but spiritual knowledge is unlimited.  Which would you rather have to guide you throughout life?  Spiritual forces are stronger than physical forces and once you trust in that reality, you will grow into full spiritual maturity.  Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

4  Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One Who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 3:

15   But give reverent honor in your hearts to the Anointed One and treat Him as the Holy Master of your lives. And if anyone asks about the hope living within you, always be ready to explain your faith

If you are reluctant to share your Love and faith in Jesus Christ, you have not yet fully embraced who you are in Christ.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 3:

5   Trust in the Lord completely (with all your heart), and do not rely on your own opinions (sense knowledge). With all your heart (your spirit) rely on him to guide you, and HE will lead you in every decision you make.

6 Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go. Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,

7 for Wisdom comes when you adore Him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong (Do not be wise in your own eyes i.e. sense knowledge).

8 Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.

9 Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring Him with your very best, with every increase that comes to you.

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

When you finally place your full trust in THE LORD, all obstacles will become smaller and you will be able to overcome them ALL!  Notice how Wisdom speaks about our wealth.  The tithe is first because it is our best fruit, not our leftovers.  When we give our best, we acknowledge and worship FATHER for Who HE is.  Giving HIM our leftovers, or nothing, indicates that our souls are prevailing in our lives.  As a young man with a family, I had to learn this as I faced the pressures of the world.  I know it can be a challenging transition for I know what it means to be broke.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 10:

3-4  For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our Spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

I see manipulation by the world everywhere I turn.  Exploitation is its twin.  These are the product of self-centeredness and orientation toward scarcity brought on by fear.

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.

6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

The Word must be superior to sense knowledge so we must take every thought captive!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

19   I am convinced that My God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ!

We must not only know, but communicate these Truths to those who need healing in their bodies and other scarcities in their lives.

The commission of healing the sick requires Love, faith, and hope.  All three require us to see ourselves as mature Sons and Daughters of GOD!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 1:

4   He is infinitely greater than angels, for he inherited a rank and a Name far greater than theirs.

5 For God has never said to any angel what He said to Jesus: “You are My favored Son, today I have Fathered You.” And this: “I will be the Father to Him, and He will be the Son to Me.”

We are included as “Sons” as well.

6 And again, when He brought His firstborn Son into the world: “Let all My angels bow down before Him and kiss Him in worship.”

7 And about his angels He says, “I make my angels swift winds, and My ministers fiery flames.”

8 But about his Son, He called Him “God,” saying, “Your Throne, O God, endures forever and ever and You will rule Your Kingdom with justice and righteousness,

9 For You have cherished righteousness and detested lawlessness. For this reason, God, Your God, has anointed You and poured out the oil of joy on You more than on any of Your friends.”

If we do not have joy in our hearts, there is still something lacking.

10 And He called Him Lord, saying, “Lord, You formed the earth in the beginning and with Your Own Hands You crafted the cosmos.

11 They will both one day disappear, but You will remain forever! They will all fade like a worn-out garment,

12 And they will be changed like clothes, and You will fold them up and put them away. But you are ‘I AM.’ You never change, years without end!”

13 And God has never said this to any of His angels: “Take your seat next to Me at My Right Hand until I force Your whispering enemies to be a rug under Your Feet.”

14 What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.

Further, in Hebrews chapter 4:

11  So then we must give our all and be eager to experience this faith-rest Life, so that no one falls short by following the same pattern of doubt and unbelief.

12 For we have the living Word of God, which is full of energy, and It pierces more sharply than a two-edged sword. It will even penetrate to the very core of our being where soul and spirit, bone and marrow meet! It interprets and reveals the true thoughts and secret motives of our hearts.

You can fool me but you can’t fool The Holy Spirit, Jesus, or Father.  We will be judged by our fruitfulness, not by some convincing words which have no substance.  All will be revealed when we stand before Christ.

13 There is not one person who can hide their thoughts from God, for nothing that we do remains a secret, and nothing created is concealed, but everything is exposed and defenseless before His Eyes, to whom we must render an account.

14 So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the Heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty.

You and I don’t have to carry the burden of healing the sick as we are simply the vessels FATHER uses to go forth on this earth.  Full obedience is better than full understanding.  Many times in the past, FATHER would often instruct me to do something or change direction and I would not understand the purpose at the time.  Later, I saw that HE kept me from harm or failure.

Jesus makes an emphatic statement when He spoke in John chapter 14:

15  “If you Love Me, keep My commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

As always, it’s all about Love!  The greater the Love, the greater the trust which results in full submission to all we are called to do for The Kingdom.

Jesus spoke in John 15:

5  “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9 “As the Father Loved Me, I also have Loved you; abide in My Love.

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My Love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His Love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

Everything centers around Jesus Christ and our Love for Him.  He must be central to every aspect of our lives if we want to truly walk in the power and authority required to heal all!

Do you want to truly walk in faith and heal the sick?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6 TPT

And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that He is real and that He rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking Him.

What do you think HIS rewards include?  Do you classify yourself as a casual or passionate and diligent seeker of HIM?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in the same chapter:

7  Faith opened Noah’s heart to receive revelation and warnings from God about what was coming, even things that had never been seen. But he stepped out in reverent obedience to God and built an ark that would save him and his family. By his faith the world was condemned, but Noah received God’s gift of righteousness that comes by believing.

And Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

36  “Concerning that day and exact hour, no one knows when it will arrive, not even the angels of heaven—only the Father knows.

37 For it will be exactly like it was in the days of Noah when the Son of Man appears.

In the days of Noah, there was massive genetic modification that produced the hybrid race as well as hybrid animals.  This is occurring now as well for it is all about the money… greed.

For the Son of Man to appear, we must spread the Gospel with demonstration by healing the sick, casting out devils, and raising the dead.  This is how the world once again becomes condemned when they see righteousness before their eyes.  We must not let our lights be hidden under a bushel but come forth in full maturity to satisfy the Divine commission in Mark chapter 16.  We too must be in reverent obedience to GOD in all that we say and do.  It will not be popular with friends and loved ones if they are not aligned with The Word.  If they are lukewarm, they will be spewed out in rejection.

The current move is based on The Love of The Father and HIS righteousness seen through us will openly expose those unrighteous individuals who were previously hidden in darkness.  This is what Jesus did and this is what we will do as mature Sons and Daughters.  Healing the sick was a vital aspect of His ministry as it is ours.

Most believers are waiting on Jesus to return and make things “all better” yet He is waiting on us to fulfill our assigned commission.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

14  “Yet through it all, this joyful assurance of the realm of Heaven’s Kingdom will be proclaimed all over the world, providing every nation with a demonstration of the reality of God. And after this the end of this age will arrive.”  TPT

Verse 14 in the New King James Version:

And this Gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

The NKJV translators opted to water down the commission because they did not have the revelation of what Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 1.  The Passion Translation taken from the Aramaic which is what Jesus actually spoke contains power and expectation.  This is why I now often use this version.  Which ever version denote GOD’S power is the best version to dwell on.

Our goal should be to make “Jesus” people, i.e., Sons and Daughters of GOD.

How do you convince the masses to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior when there are religions competing for their allegiance?  It is by demonstration of the power of GOD through the Name of Jesus.  Miraculous healings, deliverances, and restorations differentiate our Gospel from religions around the world.

Jesus spoke in John 15:

5   “I am the sprouting Vine and you’re My branches. As you live in union with Me as your Source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from Me you are powerless.

6 If a person is separated from Me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned.

7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My Mature disciples who glorify My Father!

The only true solution to all the problems facing the masses is becoming one with Jesus Christ.  When this occurs, the mindset changes and the person no longer defends an unsupportable position.

Jesus spoke in John 15:

14  “You show that you are My intimate friends when you obey all that I command you.

15 I have never called you ‘servants,’ because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you My most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from My Father.

16 You didn’t choose Me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of My Father, for My sake, He will give it to you!

17 So this is My parting command: Love one another deeply!”

You and I are commissioned.  Do you see yourself as an intimate friend of Jesus?  If not, you are not yet fully mature IN HIM.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:

4 Then God added His witness to theirs. He validated their ministry with signs, astonishing wonders, all kinds of powerful miracles, and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which He distributed as he desired.

Paul understood the need for your ministry to be validated.  This is why we need to move on to full maturity.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 2:

1  My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom.

2 For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah.

3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of My Words.

4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit.

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

People want proof.  Since I have personally been delivered five times from death, I need no other proof.  I am “all in”.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:

29  So now, Lord, listen to their threats to harm us. Empower us, as your servants, to speak the word of God freely and courageously.

30 Stretch out your hand of power through us to heal, and to move in signs and wonders by the name of your Holy Son, Jesus!”

And Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 16:

20   And the apostles went out announcing the Good News everywhere, as The Lord Himself consistently worked with them, validating the message they preached with miracle-signs that accompanied them!

We are to expect HIS validation as we proceed forward.

Jesus spoke to the disciples in Matthew chapter 4:

19 Jesus called out to them and said, “Come and follow me, and I will transform you into men who catch people for God.”

Are you ready to be a “people catcher”?

In Mark chapter 3, the apostles began the process are to finish:

14  He appointed the Twelve, whom He named apostles. He wanted them to be continually at His side as His friends, and so that He could send them out to preach 15 and have authority to heal the sick and to cast out demons.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

9  Because of that obedience, God exalted Him (Jesus) and multiplied His greatness! He has now been given the greatest of all names!

10 The authority of the name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this Name—in the Heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm.

All three realms are included, no exclusions.  We must completely align ourselves with Jesus so that we can manifest His Life to the unsaved.  This is our commission before the end of time can take place.  Quit looking elsewhere.

We are ordinary people who are called to do extraordinary things and we will provide evidence of Jesus Christ to the world by demonstration!

First, we need to be empty of “self” and full of GOD!  Our commission in Mark chapter 16 has never been withdrawn or revoked so we should not look elsewhere for our commission to be fulfilled.

Jesus has already paid our individual debt, therefore our debt no longer exists.  You can’t pay a debt twice.  This is redemption.  You and I are redeemed so we do not have to suffer with sickness since Jesus did.

We are commissioned to teach, preach, and heal so people will know what to believe and who to believe.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

16   I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of God’s liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere!

Are you thrilled that we have the opportunity to preach Christ as Paul did?  If not, your reluctance comes from your soul, not your spirit.  You have yet to fully appreciate your relationship with FATHER.  HIS Love is why we are even here at this time in history.  Everything we need to fulfill our calling is already on deposit within us and resources from Heaven await our requests.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 9:

23  Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”

I never saw myself as a writer, but by The Holy Spirit, I have written over 4,000 blogs since 2006 under His guidance.  If FATHER is for us, who can be against us?  I have seen my adversaries fall by the wayside yet here I am!  Adversaries of The Word along with those who profess Jesus Christ, are temporary by nature.  Look at Saul who became Paul.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

11 Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to Life by the same Spirit that breathes Life into you!

To receive healing, you must receive The Healer.  Redemption includes both!  What a gift FATHER has bestowed on us so why should any of us remain silent?  Are you worried about what people will say and whether they will possibly judge you?  I would be far more concerned with being judged by Christ than mere man.

Each one of us is commissioned to preach the full message of salvation as the opportunity arises and the door is opened.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 3:

13   Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed it completely as He became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who is hung upon a tree is doubly cursed.”

14 Jesus, our Messiah, was cursed in our place and in so doing, dissolved the curse from our lives, so that all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon even non-Jewish believers. And now God gives us the promise of the wonderful Holy Spirit who lives within us when we believe in him.

What Good News to the sick and afflicted!  Why are so many believers reluctant to share such wonderful News?  It is because they are unsure of their relationship with FATHER and HIS willingness to allow them to manifest HIS power and authority through them.  What in the world do you think these writings are all about?  They are to lead you and me into all Truth so that we are fully equipped to preach the Great News of salvation and healing to all!

Let us comprehend, represent, and walk in our position AND relationship with FATHER, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 17:

7  Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.

14 I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

We are ordained to represent Christ to this world exactly as He represented Our Heavenly Father to this world!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 4:

6   And so that we would know for sure that we are His true Children, God released the Spirit of Sonship into our hearts—moving us to cry out intimately, “My Father! You’re our true Father!”

7 Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own Sons and Daughters! And because we’re His, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs of God through Jesus, the Messiah!

Do you comprehend the importance of the above passage?  We are to function as authorized ambassadors of Christ on earth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

20  We are ambassadors of Jesus, the Anointed One, who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to him.”

21 For God made the only One Who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with Him.

As an ambassador of Christ, you and I are official representatives accredited by Our Heavenly Father to carry the Gospel and preach It everywhere and at every opportunity.  That power and authority deposited in you awaits your willingness to walk according to verse 20 above.

We don’t make ourselves equal with Christ, Jesus makes us equal with Himself!  I accept this Truth and it is time that all of the Remnant grasp this reality.  Those who would attack you for embracing this Truth, simply want to control you.  Jesus in the One Who said we are to do greater things on this earth.  We must be careful to keep in mind the Words of Jesus in John chapter 5:

19  So Jesus said, “I speak to you timeless Truth. The Son is not able to do anything from Himself or through My own initiative. I only do the works that I see the Father doing, for the Son does the same works as His Father.

30  I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father Who sent Me.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 11:

3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the Head of Christ is God.

This clearly shows that we must by led by The Holy Spirit Who communicates the Divine Intent of FATHER on a continual basis.  The more of His Word we know and embrace, the greater the manifestation of HIS power and authority on earth.  If we know HIS Ways, we will know what to do in every situation.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with My Father!

Shouldn’t we be seeing greater healings, deliverances, signs, and wonders than the early church who laid the foundation?

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

16  You didn’t choose Me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of my Father, in My Name, HE will give it to you!

17 So this is My parting command: Love one another deeply!”

You and I are commissioned to the ministry of healing and deliverance and we should expect even more widespread fruit than those in the early church.  What happened?  The church lost its first Love!

Jesus made this very point to the church at Ephesus in Revelation chapter 2:

2  I know all that you’ve done for Me—you have worked hard and persevered. I know that you don’t tolerate evil. You have tested those who claimed to be apostles and proved they are not, for they were imposters.

3 I also know how you have bravely endured trials and persecutions because of My Name, yet you have not become discouraged.

4 But I have this against you: you have abandoned the passionate Love you had for Me at the beginning.

5 Think about how far you have fallen! Repent and do the works of Love you did at first. I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place of influence if you do not repent.

6 Although, to your credit, you despise the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also despise.

7 The one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is saying now to all the churches. To the one who overcomes I will give access to feast on the fruit of the Tree of Life that is found in the paradise of God.

(This was about 30 years after the Epistle of Ephesians was written by Paul and sent to that church).

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1  One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer.

2 As they came to the entrance called the Beautiful Gate, they were captured by the sight of a man crippled from birth being carried and placed at the entrance to the temple. He was often brought there to beg for money from those going in to worship.

3 When he noticed Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them for money.

4 Peter and John, looking straight into the eyes of the crippled man, said, “Look at us!”

5 Expecting a gift, he readily gave them his attention.

6 Then Peter said, “I don’t have money, but I’ll give you this—by the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk!”

7-8 Peter held out his right hand to the crippled man. As he pulled the man to his feet, suddenly power surged into his crippled feet and ankles. The man jumped up, stood there for a moment stunned, and then began to walk around! As he went into the temple courts with Peter and John, he leapt for joy and shouted praises to God.

9 When all the people saw him jumping up and down and heard him glorifying God,

10 they realized it was the crippled beggar they had passed by in front of the Beautiful Gate. Astonishment swept over the crowd, for they were amazed over what had happened to him.

11 Dumbfounded over what they were witnessing, the crowd ran over to Peter and John, who were standing under the covered walkway called Solomon’s Porch. Standing there also was the healed beggar, clinging to Peter and John.

Peter did exactly what Jesus had instructed in John 15:16 and experienced complete success.

12 With the crowd surrounding him, Peter said to them all, “People of Israel, listen to me! Why are you so amazed by this healing? Why do you stare at us? We didn’t make this crippled man walk by our own power or authority.

It is vital that we point our success to The Name of Jesus.  We must not let people glorify or exalt us in any fashion.  We are simply will vessels… Sons and Daughters of GOD.

13 The God of our ancestors, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has done this. For He has glorified His Servant Jesus, the One you denied to Pilate’s face when he decided to release Him—and you insisted that he be crucified.

14 You rejected the One who is holy and righteous, and instead begged for a murderer to be released.

15 You killed the Prince of Life! But God raised Him from the dead, and we stand here as witnesses to that fact.

16 Faith in Jesus’ Name has healed this man standing before you. It is the faith that comes through believing in Jesus’ Name that has made the crippled man walk right in front of your eyes!

Have we caused people to be dumbfounded?  Have we astonished or amazed them with the power and authority which has been deposited in us as Paul revealed in Ephesians chapter 1?  It is time to access those deposits and produce fruit.  The witnesses in Heaven are waiting for us to grasp this Truth and complete the commission given to us by Jesus Himself!

How will FATHER’S Kingdom expand rapidly?  Every believer is given power and authority over demons and should begin ministry as directed by The Holy Spirit.

The ministry of healing and deliverance, when activated, will cause people to rapidly spread The Word and expand the ministry.

Mark wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 1:

21  Then Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum, and he immediately started teaching on the Sabbath day in the synagogue.

22 The people were awestruck and overwhelmed by His teaching, because He taught in a way that demonstrated God’s authority, which was quite unlike the religious scholars.

23 Suddenly, during the meeting, a demon-possessed man screamed out,

24 “Hey! Leave us alone! Jesus the victorious, I know Who You are. You’re God’s Holy One and You have come to destroy us!”

25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Silence! You are bound! Come out of him!”

26 The man’s body shook violently in spasms, and the demon hurled him to the floor until it finally came out of him with a deafening shriek!

27 The crowd was awestruck and unable to stop saying among themselves, “What is this new teaching that comes with such authority? With merely a word He commands demons to come out and they obey Him!”

28 So the reports about Jesus spread like wildfire throughout every community in the region of Galilee.

The demons knew who Jesus was and be assured, they know who you are, whether bold and assured or fearful.

David wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 31:

23  Oh, Love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.

24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

THE LORD spoke to Joshua in chapter 1:

6   Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

How much better is the New Covenant!  Joshua immersed himself in The Word as directed and defeated the enemies of GOD.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:

38   After leaving the meeting that day, Jesus went into Simon’s house, where Simon’s mother-in-law was sick with a high fever. The disciples begged Jesus to help her.

39 Jesus stood over her and rebuked the fever, and she was healed instantly. Then she got up and began to serve them.

40 At sunset, the people brought all those who were sick to Jesus to be healed. Jesus laid his hands on them one by one, and they were all healed of different ailments and sicknesses.

41 Demons also came out of many of them. The demons knew that Jesus was the Anointed One, so they shouted while coming out, “You are the Messiah, the Son of El Shaddai!” But Jesus rebuked them and commanded them to be silent.

People will be astonished when they witness events similar to the above and, they will not be able to keep those events to themselves.  The word will spread and people will seek out the resurrection power of Jesus Christ in action.

Every believer is given power and authority over demons.  The key is to never fear or be hesitant to exercise this authority!

The ministry of healing and deliverance must become a reality in your life, and this is accomplished by immersion in The Word. We must set aside the world’s inputs which are designed to create impurities within us, making us of none effect in the spiritual realm.  I know, FATHER had a corrective interview with me concerning this Truth.

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 12:

22  Then a man was brought before Jesus who had a demon spirit that made him both blind and unable to speak. Jesus healed him instantly, and he could see and talk again!

23 The crowds went wild with amazement as they witnessed this miracle. And they kept saying to one another, “Could this man be the Messiah?”

And in Matthew 9:

32  While they were leaving, some people brought before Jesus a man with a demon spirit who couldn’t speak.

33 Jesus cast the demon out of him, and immediately the man began to speak plainly. The crowds marveled in astonishment, saying, “We’ve never seen miracles like this in Israel!”

Are you believing for a major move of GOD?  Jesus shows us how to… by operating in the power and authority granted to us.  Would you rather spend time researching the Internet for the best medicine to treat a symptom or simply immerse yourself in The Word and begin operating in this same power and authority given to us by Jesus Himself?

Mark wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 9:

17    man spoke up out of the crowd. “Teacher,” he said, “I have a son possessed by a demon that makes him mute. I brought him here to You, Jesus.

18 Whenever the demon takes control of him, it knocks him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and his body becomes stiff as a board. I brought him to Your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they were not strong enough.”

19 Jesus said to the crowd, “Why are you such a faithless people? How much longer must I remain with you and put up with your unbelief? Now, bring the boy to Me.”

Faith comes by immersing ourselves in The Word!

20 So they brought him to Jesus. As soon as the demon saw him, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

Notice how the demons try to promote fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

21 Jesus turned to the father and asked, “How long has your son been tormented like this?” “Since childhood,” he replied.

22 “It tries over and over to kill him by throwing him into fire or water. But please, if You’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!”

23 Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”

24 When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!”

25 Now when Jesus saw that the crowd was quickly growing larger, He commanded the demon, saying, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”

Jesus was not intimidated by the demon, and neither should we.  Secondly, Jesus addressed the fact that the demon could return and demonize the boy again, so He dealt with that issue as well.

26 The demon shrieked and threw the boy into terrible seizures and finally came out of him! As the boy lay there, looking like a corpse, everyone thought he was dead.

27 But Jesus stooped down, gently took his hand, and raised him up to his feet, and he stood there completely set free!

28 Afterwards, when Jesus arrived at the house, His disciples asked Him in private, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?”

29 He answered them, “This type of powerful spirit can only be cast out by fasting and prayer.”

What should we fast?  Whatever is taking our focus away from the pure Word.  I prefer to begin the day by praying in The Holy Spirit which sets the stage for being sensitive to whatever THE SPIRIT is directing for the day.
