BUT GOD-YOU PROMISED: TAKING THE PROMISE
FROM MUSTARD SEED TO HARVEST
*********GOD SHOWED ME-HE GAVE ME A REVELATION ON THIS IS: WHAT MUST TAKE PLACE AND WHAT DOES TAKE PLACE FOR YOU AND I TO BE HEALED: THIS IS THE PROCESS*****
1. BY HIS STRIPES
I Peter 2:24
“by whose stripes ye were healed”
THERE IS ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY THAT YOU CAN RECEIVE HEALING
-It’s not from you being good enough
-It’s not how needy you are
-It’s not how much you can beg
-It’s not how many people you can get to pray
-It’s by one thing and one payment only:
· Object of our Faith: it is because of (JESUS STRIPES)*****
2. Knowing
Psalm 103:2-3(ESV)
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
3 who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
· Relationship: because you are a child of God and know him and just like you get benefits at work these are just as real)
******You must Know Him and Know that you have benefits too
3. Promise
2 Peter 1:2-4 (ESV)
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence,
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature,
· Means ******
Dictionary Definition-Means “an action or system by which a result is brought about; a method.”
It is through the Promises-they are the means of entry and victory not just by praying.
Think of prayer this way Prayer is the body of the car but the promises are the engine.
If you have a car without an engine you can rock back and forth as hard as you want but you ain’t goin nowhere without what’s under the hood. You can pray as hard as you want but you must have THE PROMISE to bring it about!
4. Meditate
Romans 10:9-10 (ESV)
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Romans 10:9 (ESV)
· Moves the Promise from Head to Heart*****
Dictionary definition of Meditate: to focus one’s mind for a period of time
5. Speak
Mark 11:23-24 (ESV)
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
(ASK ONLY ONCE AND THEN THANK HIM AND COMMAND IT TO MANIFEST UNTIL IT DOES AND DON’T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER)
· Transfer from Spirit to object (whether that is internal or external)******
Spoken Words are so important-they must be faith-filled they must be in the name of Jesus and they must take authority over your mountain.
YOU SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN-YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO; IF YOU THROW IT BACK ON GOD AND SAY GOD YOU MOVE THE MOUNAITAN GUESS WHAT HAPPENS-NOTHING!
***Remember Jesus spoke to a fig-tree and it worked
6. Practice
Hebrews 5:13-14 (KJV)
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
(The ESV Version says it this way)
Hebrews 5:14 (ESV)
14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
This is God’s gym-and everyone has the ability and the right equipment to get the build up those spiritual muscles and get the job done!
Romans 10:17 (ESV)
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
(My understanding is that this hearing is an ongoing thing-you must hear it and then hear it again and then keep on hearing it)
(Dictionary Definition of Qualify: “be entitled to a particular benefit or privilege by fulfilling a necessary condition.”
