The fourth focus is the Great Commission as recorded in Mark chapter 16 by THE SPIRIT:

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

First of all, Jesus rebuked the disciples’ unbelief and hardness of heart.  Would He respond in the same manner toward us?  When Love is absent or cold, there is a hardness of heart.  Unbelief arises when we do not really believe FATHER’S Prophetic Word with expectation and anticipation in our hearts.

Jesus said “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to all.”  This does not mean to sit in seclusion as a “secret agent”.  When we go to pray for someone, they are included in “all the world” and one of the “creatures”.  We are doing FATHER’S Will.  We should be telling those who we pray for FATHER’S Word concerning HIS Divine Intent to heal for this will increase their faith.  FATHER’S Word by Its very nature is miraculous, transcends time, and is applicable to all generations.  None are left out of salvation or the healing mandate.  It is their choice to accept both for it takes no greater faith to receive salvation as it does to receive healing.  The Word contains the power.

The fifth focus is the Early Church’s example.  In Acts chapter 4 it is written by THE SPIRIT:

29 “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,

30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

And in Acts chapter 5 we see the results:

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

And in Acts chapter 28 Paul prays with results:

8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

9 So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.

By THE SPIRIT James wrote in chapter 5:

14 Is anyone among you sick? 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.

15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

By THE SPIRIT John wrote in his first epistle chapter 5:

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

And in his third epistle:

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Let our first Love shine forth in its purity and embrace these five aspects of the Prophetic Word in the area of healing for a hurting world.  Let us no longer be passive with respect to the Great Commission but prepare ourselves with these Scriptures listed in these writings.  Let us dwell on HIS Word day and night which will cause HIS Word to become integral in our lives. This will prepare us so that we may preach the Good News with signs following, confirming HIS Prophetic Word.  Now is the time!

The prophetic principle established by FATHER is that the seed flows through the Word of FATHER and is infallible.  The word infallible means: never failing, always effective, reliable, sure, certain.  Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 1:

1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

After His death and resurrection, Jesus spent forty days instructing the disciples pertaining to the kingdom of GOD.  The disciples heard, received, accepted, and embraced the Words of Jesus.  These disciples were properly instructed in walking according to the Words of Jesus which came by THE SPIRIT from FATHER.  Jesus did not plant man’s opinions into His disciples, He planted the Word into them so they could fulfill the Great Commission.

Do we want to be healed in all aspects of our life?  Then do we want to minister Love and healing to others in this hurting world?  The first thing we need to do is to find FATHER’S Covenant in HIS Word concerning healing.  FATHER made a covenant and announced HIMSELF as Jehovah Rapha in Exodus chapter 15:

26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will permit none of the diseases on you which I have permitted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you  (JEHOVAH RAPHA) .”

There are no exceptions to FATHER’S ability, willingness, and expectation to fulfill HIS Divine Intent of healing us for HIS Declaration of HIS Covenant to heal is infallible by its very nature.  For our faith to be “steadfast” we must take the position that healing is for everyone.  Until we believe the words “Jesus healed them all”, our faith is not steadfast.  FATHER works with us according to the level of Truth we have.  As we continue to focus our attention on HIS Word and promises, our faith increases and will become steadfast because we have finally overcome the world’s philosophies in our mind and replaced those philosophies with HIS Word.  When we finally tap into what FATHER has decreed and apply it to our lives, we will see the result of HIS prophetic Word in us.  We simply need to learn to cooperate with FATHER in order for HIM to bring healing into our lives.  These writings are designed to hold your attention concerning HIS Word.

Focusing on and discussing sickness only serves to produce negative seed which is designed to further promote the sickness.  What kind of seed are we planting- FATHER’S Word or what our bodies are suggesting?  Our words can build, create, and energize the very disease we are thinking about.  Let our words align with the Prophetic Covenant of FATHER rather than the temporal.  As we think, talk, pray, and sing THE WORD and FATHER’S healing power will take hold in our lives.  HE spoke and what HE spoke manifested… The prophetic principle.  HIS Seed is incorruptible and infallible.

Our second focus is on the work of Redemption.  In Isaiah chapter 53 it is written by THE SPIRIT:

4 ​​Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

​​Yet we esteemed Him stricken, ​​Smitten by God, and afflicted.

5 ​​But He was wounded for our transgressions, ​​He was bruised for our iniquities;

​​The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, ​​And by His stripes we are healed.

The word surely means to be certain.  Jesus redeemed us by accepting and receiving our griefs, our sorrows, our transgressions, and our iniquities.  Jesus paid for our redemption thus we are able to receive healing.  If we embrace our salvation, we should also embrace our healing for it is the same power of FATHER’S Prophetic Word.  Jesus paid for our healing so let us accept HIS payment.  HE paid for our redemption and our healing, both are totally linked together in the above passage so let us stand on FATHER’S infallible declaration that HE is JEHOVAH RAPHA.

Our third focus is on Jesus Christ’s ministry for He IS the manifestation of FATHER’S prophetic Word and showed us GOD in the flesh.  Jesus provides us with specific examples of FATHER’S infallible Word:

Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people

Matthew 12:15 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

Matthew 14:14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

Matthew 14:36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

Matthew 15:30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them. 31 So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

Luke 4:40 When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

Luke 6:17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love is to heal all, not just some.  Jesus is the manifestation of FATHER’S Word and carried out HIS Divine Intent.  There is no room for accepting any other doctrine that says sickness and disease are to be expected and tolerated.  We are not meant to suffer since Jesus paid the price in full.  His Intent has not wavered.  In Hebrews chapter 13, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Do you believe that statement to be true?  Is FATHER still in the healing business?  Is HIS declaration of being JEHOVAH RAPHA changed or wavered?

To be continued…

What FATHER has spoken to us and about us will come to pass… period!  The prophetic principle of the ministry of healing Love begins with The Word.  This healing is about healing the whole person, not just some aspect or portion, for the spirit, mind, emotion, and physical body are all connected and impact each other in some manner.  FATHER’S Word is the guarantee to the fulfillment of health, healing, and restoration.  HIS sure prophetic Word is given to us that It actualize and materialize in our life just when as seed is planted, it must produce after its own kind.  This principle cannot be violated for FATHER looks over HIS Word to perform it and no lesser power or authority can usurp FATHER’S Divine Intent.

In Matthew chapter 8:

16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

​​​“He Himself took our infirmities

​​And bore our sicknesses.”

Jesus manifested the prophetic spoken Word of FATHER recorded in Isaiah 53:4.  FATHER’S Word was prophesied and then It came to pass without exception.  We too are walking in this prophetic principle every time we take the promise given to us by FATHER by hearing, accepting, claiming, embracing, speaking, and expecting Its fulfillment in our lives.  Let us not waver in this principle or use the excuse we are not worthy for HIS Blood made us worthy.

Every promise of FATHER is a prophecy thus every promise will be fulfilled.  Every seed is also a prophecy and will produce based on its assigned intent.  Jesus spoke in Luke 24:

49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

In Acts chapter 2:

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Then Peter by THE SPIRIT spoke:

32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

Jesus spoke the prophetic Word which the prophet Joel was given by THE SPIRIT and the disciples heard, accepted, claimed, and embraced it by doing exactly what Jesus told them to do- “in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high”.  They went to Jerusalem and expected the manifestation to be fulfilled in them and it was.  We must each decided to accept FATHER’S prophetic Word in our lives in the same manner.  If HE said it, expect it to come to pass in us as well.  Let not men’s cunning fables take hold and convince us otherwise. 

FATHER’S Word as more power than all men put together for THE CREATOR is greater than all of the created.  Let HIS prophetic seed (THE WORD) fall on good ground and produce a hundred fold return in our lives.

By THE SPIRIT John recorded in chapter 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Everything starts with the word we speak for it reflects our intent just as it did when FATHER spoke.  We are exclusive holders of the power to transmit thought by our words and without limitation.  By this principle, FATHER created the world.  Words communicate intent and expectation to those who hear them, including the speaker.  Words are as seeds and every crop produced begins with seeds.  Each of us determines the harvest we sow by what we speak with our lips.

When we receive Christ in our life, FATHER’S creative power becomes operational in us.  We must be ever aware of this creative power as we speak to others because we are now connected with the flow of Divine Life through Jesus Christ and the power of The Holy Spirit in our lives.  We must never forget that reality and responsibility as we speak forth words.  All things are being shaped and formed everyday because of the words spoken in faith.  FATHER’S pure faith in HIS Word created the heavens and earth; His Word continues creating distant galaxies as I write.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

The darkness of men still do not comprehend HIS Word and this is why we must be the light unto the world this very day.  Let our words speak forth life by HIS SPIRIT in us and continue the expansion of the Kingdom by this fundamental principle.  In Hebrews chapter 1 by THE SPIRIT, it is written:

1 GOD (Our FATHER), WHO at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Jesus is the expressed image of FATHER in the flesh.  If we should focus on any aspect of Scripture, it must be centered around the Words and acts of Jesus because we are joint-heirs of all things.  HIS Word is forming through us with the same power and authority appointed to Jesus Christ our elder Brother.  We must not underestimate or disregard this Truth for HIS Seed planted in us is intended to produce much fruit for the Kingdom. 

Everything written about Jesus is also applicable to us for just as Jesus is described as “being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person”, we too should expect to become described in that same manner.  By definition, joint-heirs have the same rights, privileges, and authority as the original heir.   This is due to the total redemption accomplished by His Blood for it was sufficient in all areas associated with our life!  We should expect nothing less for our slate was wiped clean through our redemption.  We were redeemed so we could be just like Him.  Peter wrote in his second epistle chapter 1 by THE SPIRIT:

16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,

21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

This prophetic Word is not restricted to private interpretation but is meant for us as well.  HIS Word must be individualized in each of us for It is applicable to the joint-heirs- you and me.  This is why we can reference any passage in Scripture and It continues to have power in itself to affect our lives.  As we continue to plant this pure Seed of FATHER’S Word in us, we will see results in becoming the brightness of HIS glory as well.  Let us not follow cunningly devised fables  which simply produces no good fruit to be consumed by a hurting world.  Man’s opinions and philosophies (the will of man) are simply diversions away from the Truth.

Let us focus on the Spoken Word of Life coming to us by HIS direct Word, HIS written Word, and HIS prophetic Word from holy men of FATHER as they are moved by the Holy Spirit.

FATHER projects HIS Divine Intent in HIS Word.  HE prophesies for our benefit.  HE speaks HIS goodness and HIS soundness in all things and HE does not change.  FATHER reveals HIS Nature through HIS names and these seven names reveal HIS goodwill for every aspect of your life.

YHWH-Tsidkenu — "The Lord our Righteousness"

Jeremiah 23:

3 “But I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all countries where I have driven them, and bring them back to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, nor shall they be lacking,” says the LORD.

​5 ​​“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,

​​“That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;

​​A King shall reign and prosper,

​​And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.

6 ​​In His days Judah will be saved,

​​And Israel will dwell safely;

​​Now this is His name by which He will be called:

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

YHWH-Shalom — "The Lord our Peace"

Judges 6:

23 Then the LORD said to him, “Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die.”

24 So Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it The-LORD-Is-Peace

YHWH-Ra-ah — "The Lord my Shepherd"

Psalm 23:

The LORD is my shepherd;

​​I shall not want.

YHWH-Rapha — "The Lord that healeth"

Exodus 15:

26  … “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will permit none of the diseases on you which I have permitted (allowed) on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

YHWH-Yireh — "The Lord will provide"

Genesis 22:

13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

YHWH-Shammah — "The Lord is ever present"

Ezekiel 48:

35 All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE.”

YHWH-Niss"i — "The Lord our Victor"

Exodus 17:

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner (Our Victor)

FATHER is ever present and always there with us and where HE is, there is life and accompanying HIS presence are righteousness, peace, direction, healing, and provision.  IF FATHER is for and in us then we achieve fully victory in every aspect of our life.  If you have a question about any aspect of HIS Nature then focus on the simple reality found in Jesus’ ministry.  When we focus on each aspect of FATHER’S Nature then we will fully embrace HIS Nature in us and through us.  Let us mature in HIS Word and embrace HIS Nature in every aspect of our being.

Prophecy is only fulfilled in people.  All that we are, all that we want to be, all that we have, all that we want to do, and all that we want to speak from The Word of FATHER is all a fulfillment of prophecy.  FATHER’S Word is like seed and when planted, it never returns void.  HIS Word planted as seed is the most reliable prophecy one can consider because It accomplishes what It is sent to do. 

The Divine Life of FATHER expressing HIMSELF in Love is non-judgmental, non-criticizing, and non-condemning.  Love is all embracing, all accepting, all believing, all tolerating, all enduring, and all supporting.  By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 described unconditional Love:

4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;

5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;

6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

This Love life is intended to be established in us and flow out from us to a hurting world.  It is a power and influence intended to bring out the best in everyone who comes into contact with it.  This Love is planted in people to develop the best in people and It is the influence that heals all and lifts people up out of discouragement, confusion, and suffering.  When we hear, embrace, and receive FATHER’S Word concerning Love healing a hurting world then we are fulfilling HIS prophecy which HE initiated and decreed from the beginning.

The purpose of fruit is to be dispersed, consumed, and nourish the recipient.  If you are constantly planting seed and never ministering, you are “hoarding” your fruit and the ultimate result is spoilage.  Those who spend all their time studying The Word and never “doing” The Word fall into this rut.  You cannot take in beyond what you give out and this is why people become confused in their walk.  In Mark chapter 7, Jesus spoke:

6 He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:

​​‘​This people honors Me with their lips,

​​But their heart is far from Me.

7 ​​And in vain they worship Me,

​​Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men—the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do (their man-made traditions).”

Love “does” and fulfills prophecy!  FATHER has uttered with total clarity HIS Word which must be heard, believed, accepted, and acted upon for HIS Prophetic Word to be planted, grow, and fulfilled in us.  If those who come along and create new meanings for words and water down the Divine Intent of FATHER, then their words become traditions of men.  As a result, you get the prophecy in a distorted form and it has no power in it and they become known as false prophets and begin to rationalize why their word did not come to pass.

To predict is to say or estimate that a specified thing will happen in the future or will be a consequence of something and is based on one’s own beliefs or experience.  To prophesy is to foretell under the Divine Influence of THE SPIRIT of FATHER.  In 1 Samuel chapter 10, FATHER provides a clear representation of this:

6 “Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

7 And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.”

We must be careful when men claim to prophesy.  They are actually attempting to predict and in some manner hoping FATHER will confirm their word with a sign.  The problem is that many signs and wonders are happening all the time and the person predicting can and often will point to one of those non-specific signs as confirmation.

We must not be taken in by the traditions of men.  These traditions stand in the way and obstruct the simple, direct prophecies of Our Heavenly Father for they only serve to divert our attention to some complex, complicated word or act which attempts to lead us to believe that we are unable to walk in the same manner as the one who claims to prophesy.  They tend to project some type of elitism which is not available to you or me.  This is directly in conflict and opposition with the Words of Jesus and Our Heavenly Father.

FATHER speaks and it comes to pass… it is that simple.  When HE speaks a Word to us, HE is prophesying with the intent of HIS Word manifesting in our life.  We are intended to fulfill HIS prophecy.

In Matthew Chapter 10 Jesus summoned His disciples together:

1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

We too are His disciples  In Matthew chapter 28, Jesus commanded the disciples:

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen!

Jesus did not exclude you or me from His directive in Matthew 10:1.  Some have left it to the original twelve.  Many others have left that directive to the five-fold ministry as though they have some exclusive right to receive power from On High.  A degree from seminary nor a PhD is relevant to being a disciple.  Many want to simply observe salvation, deliverance, and miracles but do not have the revelation of being called to minister.  If we are disciples then we are called to minister.

The devil is not a menace to us for Jesus has given us power over the works of the devil.  We have Spiritual power over our physical bodies.  The Spiritual operates at a higher level than the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of our bodies.  It must be established in the Spiritual realm first then the outworking will occur in the lower systems of our bodies.  We are to exert influence and legal power over unclean spirits and all kinds of sickness and disease because of the directive Jesus gave us.

These writings are meant to renew our minds so that we will repent from dead works and begin to act solely on The Word given to us by FATHER.  We must act on these directives or otherwise we will become lukewarm and be of none effect.  If you are sick, then start speaking to your own body and demand it line up with The Word.  As The Word becomes greater than your affliction, your body will respond and line up with The Word.  How long will it take?  Until the resistance to The Word is removed and The Word brings back to life those aspects of your body which are resisting life.

When The Word is mixed with faith it profits us.  By hearing, studying, focusing, and meditating on The Word our faith increases and ultimately produces good fruit.  Healing is just one of those fruit.  Casting out unclean spirits is another fruit.  Making disciples of men and women is one of those fruit as well.  When people see us overcoming obstacles in life they will seek out our revelation.  The Holy Spirit will draw them to us.

The first sign expressed by Jesus to the disciples was the power over unclean spirits.  In Mark 16 Jesus spoke:

17 “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus said the first sign of the believer’s power was to cast out demons.  If it were not so important Jesus would not have emphasized the need to deal with the opposition.  Is it any different today?  Is there less opposition today than there was 2,000 years ago?  From the outset of our life as a believer we are to have power over the devil and his devices.  Let us embrace this Truth as much as we do the message of salvation for they are both connected by the Words of Jesus who spoke FATHER’S Divine Intent toward us.  In John chapter 8, Jesus spoke:

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you believe and abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We who believe and abide in His Word ARE HIS DISCIPLES!  In Mark chapter 3 Jesus empowered the disciples:

14 Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,

15 and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.

Every one of us are also appointed by Jesus based on His determination that we too are disciples.  Jesus sent them out to communicate the Gospel to others (preach).  We are to communicate in everyday language to those whom FATHER has placed in our paths.  We are to be an expression of Love in Word and deed.  We are intended to have power thus we should expect HIS power to operate in our lives.  In Luke 9, Jesus directed the disciples:

1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

6 So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

All demons are subject to the power given to us by Jesus.  We contact people and transmit the Love and power to them.  In Luke chapter 10, Jesus further appointed the seventy:

1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

8 “Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”

19 “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Jesus started with 12 disciples, then added 70 disciples and in Mark 16, expanded His disciples to all who believe.  This includes you and me.  Let us embrace the revelation that Jesus gave us power over the enemy and power to heal all those who are sick.  Let us do whatever is necessary to renew our minds to this Truth so that we can minister Love to a hurting world.  It may take much prayer and fasting but let us not be deterred from our mandate.

In Matthew chapter 16, Jesus asked two questions of Peter:

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

Peter responded to the first question by providing the opinions of the masses.  Anyone can have an opinion whether it is right or wrong and it is based on experience, philosophy, and/or man’s logic.  By their nature, opinions do not have revelation else they would be classified as Truth.  Jesus then asked Peter the second question:

15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Each of us has a choice of how we respond to such a question.  Are we to embrace the Truth or are we to submit to man’s opinions?  It matters not what the crowd says, am I going to accept and walk in the revelation set before me?  Will I walk by the revelation spoken to me or will I succumb to peer pressure and submit to the demands of the crowd?  Do I accept the power of FATHER’S Word in me or do I tow the “party line”?

16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Today, I know Jesus and He is in me.  I practice His Presence in me and around me.  I stand on the Truth in the revelation of Jesus Christ no matter what the opinions of the world would say otherwise.  He is in me and His miracle-working power flows not only in me but through me to others.  His power in me heals and restores me, It gives me life where death and destruction once prevailed.  His Blood redeemed me and He is my Advocate to FATHER whenever I fail.  By His stripes I am healed today, not in some distant future.  Jesus is the Living Christ, the Anointed One Who has come to live in me.  He is alive, He is GOD in my flesh!

I walk worthy of THE LORD, pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing the knowledge of HIM, strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, with all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to FATHER Who has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light.  He has delivered me from the power of darkness and conveyed me into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (Col 1:10-14)

It is my choice to accept or reject the revelation of Jesus Christ in my life.  No one can force me to receive Him or reject Him.  No one can truly influence my personal decision, I must decide for myself.  I choose my response and am accountable.

17 Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

Peter made contact with FATHER and heard HIM.  FATHER gave Peter the revelation, he accepted it, and proclaimed it.  Jesus now told Peter that he has now become important to the Kingdom for now the revelation will flow through him to others.  Jesus declared that His church will be built on this revelation- Jesus IS the Son of GOD made manifest to us so that His power and authority will flow through us to establish the Kingdom.  The opposition will not prevail.  Those keys have been given to you and me as well, not just Peter.  We have received the same revelation which has transformed our lives.

Those keys of the Kingdom function to bind and loosen as the situation requires.  Those keys relate to the dynamic power, force, and energy to overcome any opposition to the Kingdom.  The use of those keys is determined by our response to the second question posed by Jesus.  Yes, we have the right to decide.

Dynamic means- power relating to force; exerting influence; the capacity and energy for releasing legal might; exerting influence or control; faculty for performance.

What is working in us is greater than he that is in the world.  We have the flow of Life working in us and is to work through us toward mankind so that death and destruction are ultimately swallowed up.  By THE SPIRIT Luke wrote in chapter 4:

32 And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.

33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him.

36 Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.”

37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.

FATHER’S Word should become dynamic in us because of its very nature.  Its power transformed us into children of the Kingdom, the greatest miracle in itself.  The Word raised the dead and brought forth life.  That same Word and its dynamic power resides in you and me and it awaits our trust and reliance on it rather than relying on the world’s devices to operate from.  This power within us is amazing!   In Mark chapter 16, Jesus instructed the disciples and us:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

We are to preach (to publish, proclaim openly: something which has been done).  We are not called to be “secret agents” and tell no one who we really are.  We need to be willing to express ourselves and share the reality of the Word operating in us to all whom FATHER sends across our path.  With the dynamic power flowing in us and through us the following is expected to occur:

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

What is the first thing mentioned as signs following?  We will cast out demons yet how often do you hear and teaching on this aspect of “signs following”?  We must no longer be timid but instead we must trust in the power of The Word in us to produce the results Jesus expected from us.  The works of the devil are everywhere and we are given the dynamic power to handle whatever situation set before us.  We do have authority over the devil and his devices no matter how they manifest.  It may not be a demon-possessed person but instead may be another outworking caused by the devices of the devil.  Anything in opposition to FATHER originates as a work of the devil.

The power residing in us is greater than any destructive external force that would try to limit us in our walk.  We must not allow those destructive forces to rule over us any longer.  It is critically important for us to grab ahold of this Truth, especially in the coming weeks, months, and years.

Notice that immediately upon becoming a believer we are given the power to deal with the opposing force.  FATHER’S Word does not need to grow in power for it already has sufficient power to overcome any opposition.  The problem lies with our ignorance of the power contained in HIS Word.  We must not let the opposition hinder us, confuse us, hurt us, demoralize us, and make us of none effect.  We must study FATHER’S Word so that we are not ignorant of Its power and authority awaiting our implementation and activation of It in our lives.

We must appropriate this dynamic power in our life.  Jesus expects us to do greater things, not “lesser” or “none”.  By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

We have a responsibility and a decision to make.  Are we going to access the dynamic power within or are we simply going to allow ourselves to be tossed to and fro?  Operating in this dynamic power within takes unwavering commitment.  It takes tenacity when being confronted by the opposition… we must stand!  This power and authority is given to every believer but only those who are not ignorant of The Word and remain steadfast will fully access this dynamic power within.
