Sid: Hello Sid Roth with something more. I don’t know about your faith but my faith is just zooming right now.
Now I said I was summering up Billy Graham’s faith “God said, I believe it, that settles it.” You have to be 100% convinced Jesus died for your sins and of course you are. Well the same reason your convinced Jesus died for your sins 100% not 99.99 and it gets you saved, you have to be 100% convinced Jesus died for your sicknesses and your pains. Psalm 103 verse 2 and 3 should settle it for you “Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all His benefits Who forgives all of your iniquities.” See there it is “All” A-L-L. “Who heals all (A-L-L) your diseases.”
Why does He do this? I believe the best place is Isaiah 53 and 1st Peter 2:24. Let me read this to you Isaiah 53 verse 4 and 5 “Surely He has borne our griefs” but in the Hebrew the word “grief” means sicknesses. “Surely” can you get any stronger than that? “Surely – for sure – for sure – for sure He has borne our sicknesses.” That means He carried nahash is the Hebrew word, He carried it away. It likes on the scapegoat they say the scapegoat they put the sins on the scapegoat and the scapegoat bore (nahash) bore, took it away. If they took it away then I don’t have those sins anymore. If they took it then I don’t have those pains anymore, those sicknesses. It’s summarized in 1st Peter 2:24 “By Whose stripes you were healed.” You see going to Isaiah 53 verse 4 and 5 it says “By His stripes we are healed.” 1st Peter 2:24 was afterwards after Jesus died and rose from the dead “By His stripes you were healed” It’s already happened. Surely He has carried our griefs in the Hebrew sickness. Surely He has carried our sorrows in the Hebrew pains, He carried away all of your pains, He carried away ALL of your sicknesses A-L-L.
But what about Paul He had a thorn in the flesh do you remember that? Yeah I do and I also remember the anointed understanding of what he had. 2nd Corinthians chapter 12 verses 7 – 10 “A thorn in the flesh (this is Paul speaking) a thorn in the flesh was given to me.” What was that thorn in the flesh an eye disease? No it says what it was “A messenger of Satan, a demon, to buffet me concerning this thing I practiced, I pleaded with the Lord 3 times that it might depart from me. He said to me ‘My grace (remember the definition of grace – my enabling power) My grace, My enabling power is sufficient for you Paul. He that is within you is greater than everything than that demon that is harassing you.’” My grace, My enabling power the word “grace” isn’t just being able to get through it and say “Oh I’m suffering for Jesus.” Oh yeah there are times that we suffer but I kept telling you His enabling power is sufficient to have…
Did you know that you can do according to the book of Ephesians exceedingly, abundantly beyond anything you’ve ever asked or thought according to the power that dwells within you? That covers a lot of breath I can tell you that.
So Paul says “When I am weak then I am strong” I have God’s grace His enabling power.
Now what if someone dies believing for a miracle? First of all we don’t know everything otherwise we’d be God. That’s why Deuteronomy 29:29 says “The secret things belong to our God.” But I am responsible to believe what I know. My job is to be a God pleaser without faith I cannot please God. I am doing my job I am a God pleaser, I don’t have to understand everything.
But I did find a scripture that might give you a little peace because I have a good friend in fact he was my best friend who died of cancer. He understood the promises of God and I remember questioning “Why did this happen?” There were others saying “Well if he couldn’t be healed how can I be healed?” That’s a valid thing to question, but listen to this in Isaiah 57:1 in the New Living translation “Good people pass away; but godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand (I can see God saying in a Jewish way ‘No one seems to understand’) that God is protecting them from the evil to come.”
We have one responsibility to be a believer. I’m going to tell you something on my tombstone if I don’t get raptured like Enoch before I want it to say “He had faith.” I don’t want it to say “He did great miracles” because it’s God who does the great miracles not me not you. He had faith it gets so simple when you trust God. It’s too complex any other way. I have to tell you this, I have to tell you this I have seen so many people healed of so many things that I have faith that nothing is impossible for our God. I’m telling you this, there’s someone who’s wrist hurts there’s damage in some way even carpal tunnel or arthritis in the fingers you are healed in Jesus’ name.
What about using doctors? I suggest you do you know why? They’ll keep you alive until you believe enough for God to heal you. I’m all for doctors they can’t heal you but they can keep you alive until God heals you.
Very important to know the difference between a healing and miracle. A healing is a graaaaaadual miracle, a miracle is an instant healing. Don’t throw your healing out with the dirty wash water and miss your manifestation. You see it’s very important to understand you need the Spirit of God when you speak the words of God. The best way to have the Spirit of God being with the words of God, this is found in Genesis chapter 1 that’s a good place to start. It says “In the beginning was God” and then it said that “God’s Spirit moved on the waters,” then it says “God spoke.” So you need you the Spirit then you have to speak the promise of God.
How do you speak always in the Spirit? I have found a way to be in the Spirit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You see a lot of people don’t realize that the Spirit of God is within you, or as Jesus put it in Luke 17:21 “The kingdom of God is within you in your heart.” John 7:38 says “From His innermost being shall flow continuously springs and rivers of living water.” In other words, your spirit of God is down here in your stomach and it’s in your heart but it’s not your natural heart. It’s right in your innermost being that’s what Jesus said “In your belly will flow rivers of living water.”
So what I have found is if you can imagine an old fashioned well, and a bucket, and the string you know you roll that pulley. You wind the rope down and the bucket goes down into that well so you get that nice spring water. Well I can imagine dropping down all the way down to my spirit and staying there. You know what I’ve found when I do that and I’m listening to a speaker my spirit starts jumping but all the time, but if I don’t do that it’ll jump once in a while. So I have trained myself to drop all the way down to my spirit and stay there as… all the time really.
The last bit of advice is never every give up, never give up. Patience is important recognize you’re in a fight. 1st Timothy says Fight the good fight of faith.” That’s the fight it’s against the devil and it’s in the faith arena it’s not with flesh and blood. It’s with spiritual principalities and powers of darkness. So Luke 8:15 says in the Amplified “But as for that seed (and the seed is the word of God) as for that word you have to have it in the good soil (or in your heart), these are the people who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just noble, virtuous and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.” So through faith and patience you will inherit the promises and faith is very very bold.
You see faith is spelled R-I-S-K, risk, faith is taking a risk. I can tell you that if I say someone’s healed of a backache this is a real simple risk for you, you just stand up you bend over, or your neck ache or you bend your neck like this and you find out you’re healed. Now if you have to do it front of someone there’s a greater risk, or if you have a what’s known as a word of knowledge like I do and you do it front of an audience then there’s even a greater risk, but faith is spelled R-I-S-K.
Now the sixth is authority and guess what? This is how much authority you have Matthew 28 verse 18 and 19 you see it’s delegated authority. This is how much you have “All (Jesus is speaking) all authority has been given to me in heaven and earth.” Then He delegates and says “Go therefore” why? Because all authority has been given to Jesus, Jesus is inside of you. So you operate in all authority. It’s like a traffic policeman you hold your hand and you blow a whistle and see if you can stop a car speeding at you. You can’t! But you have the authority and that car stops. That’s the authority you have in the invisible world the devil is scared of you, he’s afraid of you, he’s a fraidy cat. He’s going to keep harassing you as long as he thinks you’re going to bite, he’s a big bully. Well you tell that big bully you’ll blow your whistle, and by the way you blow your whistle by saying “Jesus” that’s how you blow your whistle an he’s at you then he stops, resist the devil and he will run as in fear.
Now I don’t know if I’m going to finish, however if I don’t we’ll give you the address of my website and you just go to the website and you’ll have the rest of this.
The 7th principle God says never fails it is called love. I remember an old prophet who is now in heaven and this is the words he would always say to people “Have you learned to love?” As if to say “If you’ve done all these great things in this life and you haven’t learned to love you’ve missed the whole purpose of what you’re suppose to do in this life.”
Then I had a guest and he made a very profound statement “Don’t just love someone by thinking ‘Oh I love them, I love them, I love them…’ No! Tell them what you love about them.” How would you like someone walking up to you saying “You know I really like it the way you take care of your elderly mother. You’re really are an unusual person.” Rather than think it start saying that. When you see something in their life that you can compliment them on start doing that.
If you want to know what love looks like read the definition 1st Corinthians chapter 13 verse 4 – 8 but I love chapter 14 of that 1st Corinthians verse 1 which says “Make love” in the Amplified “Make love your great quest.” That’s either the Amplified or the New Living translation, “Make love your great great quest.”
God’s definition of love and you should meditate on this everyday “Love endures long, I endure long. I am patient, I am kind, I am not envious, I don’t boil over with jealousy, I am not boastful, I am not arrogant, or inflated with pride. I am not rude, I don’t act unbecomingly, I don’t insist on my own rights.” Ohhh! You should work on that, not you. Remember what I’m doing I’ve got 3 fingers pointing at me right now.
Galatians 5:6 says why love is so important. It says “Faith is activated and energized and expressed and working through love.”
Ephesians 4:29 tells us be very very careful of what you speak. In the New Living translation it says “Everything I say is good and helpful, so that all my words are an encouragement to those who hear them.” In Ephesians 4:29 in the Message Bible it says “I say only what helps, each of my words are a gift.” Isn’t that great? Every word you say is a gift. Guard your eyes, guard your ears, guard your mouth. Why? Everything you hear, see, everything you listen to it’ll grow like leaven. Be careful what you let inside it has a life of its own.
That’s why God tells us in Philippians 4:8 “And now dear brothers and sisters one final thing, fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable, and right and pure, and lovely and admirable. Think about these things that are excellent and worthy of praise because as a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” So what do you want to be? Do you want to be what’s on the news, or do you want to be like Jesus? You really have the choice.
I found myself… I’ll tell you what if you go to our webpage I’m going to put it up right now. I’m going to continue the rest of these points.
