Divine Health

My bad. If you're not doing anything tonight at 7 o'clock at Elizabeth City Fountain of Life, we'd love to have you. They are putting on what's called their Breaking Barriers, and they have several. We've got Doug Eccles is going to be there, Jim Rayleigh's going to be there, Champ and Jane Hammond's going to be there. Wonderful time.

That starts tonight. It goes through Wednesday. Check the schedule on the website, and we will be heading down there tonight. And if you'd like to join us, come on down. So how are you all doing this week?

Oh, really? Is it that bad? It's October. Really? All right.

I'm happy. Are you happy to be in the house of God today? Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Well, praise God. I'm glad to be here. I'm glad you're here. And today, we're going to talk about some things. We're going to, like I said, I told you last week, I didn't think this would turn into a series.

I don't think it's turning into a series. Matt kind of says it sounds like a series. But, so the first week we talked about, we were mentioning about David's sword. We got into 1 Samuel 17. But if you weren't here, go back two weeks.

And, basically, what we talked about was we have to stop looking at our past battles as reminders of what almost killed us and start looking at the evidence of what God has brought us through. See, we got to stop looking at, well, I'm going through this battle, I'm going through this battle. You know, my wife, you know, gave that word about, you know, we're going through the valley, we're going through the valley. Well, you know what, we'll never stop going through the valleys. But the idea behind it is, is how do you approach the valley?

Because if God already brought you through one valley, don't you think he's going to bring you through another one? And another one? And another one? He doesn't stop. Last week, we talked about knowing where our authority comes from.

We're submitted to the one who gave it. And we're willing to use it for his kingdom. We understand that we don't have to become somebody else. We just have to be willing to become fully surrendered to the one who's already given us the authority. See, the enemy would love nothing more than for you to walk in an attitude of defeat.

Instead, we are children of the king. He's already given us the authority. We have to walk in that authority. So today, I want to talk about, we're going to dive into this living from what Christ has already accomplished with regards to our bodies and divine healing. Now, for those of you who don't know, I know some churches don't talk about that.

I believe in divine healing. I believe. I am physically a walking miracle. So, if you're looking for something, well, I don't necessarily subscribe to that. I don't believe.

Well, you know what? I'm going to tell you that I stand before you today serving a God that heals. He holds no good thing from us. His desire is for you to walk healthy. And when we walk healthy and we abide in his word, he rewards us for that.

So, as we walk through this, our text is going to be taken from Matthew 8, 16, and 7. It says, When evening had come, they brought to him many who were demon-possessed, and he cast out the spirits with a word. Just a word. And he healed all who were sick, that they may be filled, fulfilled, which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, He himself took our infirmities and bore our sickness. Church, there are some things that you just have to settle in your spirit.

See, you've got to settle in your spirit. You've got to believe. You have to believe what God says about himself. See, what do you look, when you think about God, when you think about Jesus, what do you believe in that? Is he something that is so far off that he's untouchable, or is he something that is so real that he's in and involved in your life?

You know, we read that a couple weeks ago in 1 Samuel 17 and 45, and David said, when he was talking to Goliath, David knew. He settled it in his spirit. I know exactly who God is. He said, he told him, he goes, you come at me with sword and with spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of heaven's armies, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defiled. Today the Lord will conquer you.

Have you settled that in your spirit? Do you walk in that? Do you get up every morning and go, today I walk in the presence of God? Or do you get up and you go, man, it's another day, it's a Monday. It's a Monday.

You know, you've got to settle what you believe about his word. We push and we talk about getting into his word. We abide by this word. We get this into us. So when we, God speaks through his word.

See, there's a lot of times when you look at this and I was doing a little bit of digging and the phrase, it is written, appears roughly about 60 times just within the New Testament. See, when the enemy, when Jesus went into the wilderness, the enemy kept telling him and giving him and tempting him. But what was Jesus' retort? Jesus' retort said, it is written. It is written, man shall not live by bread alone.

See, Jesus uses the phrase approximately 14 times during his ministry. In the original Greek, the tense used implies, it stands written. Meaning, God's word is eternal and is established forever. This didn't come up just 600 years after Jesus died. This is a, this is a chronologically ordered.

This is ordered so that God says, look, I'm giving you a guide. I'm telling you how to live your life. The promises in here aren't just words. They're things that you can live your life by and you can stand on. Sometimes I think that as Christians, we get too smart for our own good and we try to dissect it instead of just reading it for the black and white that it is.

God says he loves me. God says I'm healed. He's Jehovah Jireh. He's my provider. What else is there?

I don't need to go into the theology or the doctrine of it. I believe what it says. I read it. Where do you stand? See, you have to settle what you believe about Jesus Christ and that he's already accomplished for you.

Because if you don't, the battle that you go into is going to settle it for you. See, if you don't, the diagnosis you get from the doctor is going to settle it for you. See, when you have settled the word of God in your spirit, you don't allow what you see to determine what you believe. Faith doesn't deny what's happening. Faith declares that what's happening does not have the final word.

The doctor said, well, you've got cancer. I may have cancer, but cancer doesn't have the final word. The doctor says, I've got diabetes. But diabetes doesn't have the final word. His word does.

God's word does. See, today we're going to walk through some keys in walking in divine health. Now, one of these things has to do with your prayer life. And I'm not talking about how to pray when something is wrong. I'm talking about developing a biblical mindset concerning your body, your strength, and your healing, your faith, and the finished work of Jesus Christ.

This isn't God's work. He did it on the cross 2,000 years ago. His blood settled it. It's done. There's nothing else to reinvent.

God says it is finished. He stood there and he said, it is finished. Number one, we've got to look at, we've got to hate what Jesus came to destroy. You cannot constantly tolerate what you've been called to resist. What you tolerate will eventually you will accommodate.

See, is there, if there's things, you have to develop this thing called a holy hatred. Not for people, not for your neighbor, even though they may be irritating. But for hatred for anything that opposes the purpose of God in your life. The enemy wants you to become comfortable with what Jesus came to destroy. See, you need to declare and say, I refuse to become comfortable with what Jesus came to destroy.

Sickness is not my friend. Debt is not my friend. Disease is not my friend. Oppression, anxiety is not my friend. They're all things that came to destroy me.

Anything that comes from you. To steal, kill, and destroy what God is giving me is not something I have to embrace. See, in Acts 10.38, it says how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil. See, we look at what Jesus did.

He went about doing good and what? Healing. Jesus didn't walk into sickness and celebrate it. He didn't tell the oppressed, well, just learn to give. We learned today, well, we're just going to medicate it.

Or you just need hours and hours of counseling. Again, not that I'm against counseling. He didn't tell the sick, well, this is just your lot in life. He confronted what was destroying people. And if Jesus confronted it, then the church cannot become comfortable with it.

Because there's too many people out there that are hurting. There's too many people that are suffering. And when we stand and we look at the Word of God, Jesus had people come. He didn't give them a five-point sermon. He looked at them and he said, stand and walk.

Period. He didn't look at them and go, well, let's check and see what your habits are. You got good habits, bad habits, well, you know, you really need to... He said, no. Stand up and walk.

Every work, number two, every work of the devil must be confronted. In John, 1 John 3, 8, it says, for this purpose, the Son of Man was manifest that he might destroy the works of the devil. You would, in this passage, underline destroy. Jesus come to simply help manage the works of the devil. Too many times what we're trying to do is we're managing the trials and the tribulations that we're going through.

If I could just get through this day, Lord, then, you know what? Maybe tomorrow will be better. God, if you could just get me through this. You are a child of the living King. He came to destroy it.

See, the enemy may attack you, but the enemy doesn't have the final word. The enemy may come, but the enemy doesn't have the final authority. Jesus does. And when Jesus said, it is finished, he wasn't making a suggestion. He was declaring victory.

And too many of us, myself included, at times in our life, we sit there and we think and we go, oh, woe is me. And Jesus will look at me in my prayer time and go, what are you doing? I've already nailed it to the cross. I already died once. It is finished.

At Luke 13, there was a woman who had been bound for 18 years. And Jesus said, ought not this woman be a daughter of Abraham from Satan who hath bound. Jesus identified the source of her bondage. She was held. She was a daughter of Abraham.

And Jesus essentially asked, why should a covenant child remain bound? You are a child of God. You are in covenant with the King. So you need to ask yourself, why should I willingly accept what Christ came to redeem from me? Why should I surrender to something that Jesus came to confront?

Why should I make peace with something that Jesus came to destroy? See, you have a covenant with God. I have a covenant with him. When I said, Lord, I submit myself to you, I entered into covenant with him. And I'm going to believe today, not someday, not maybe, not if, but today.

Because faith doesn't have to wait till tomorrow, what God has already accomplished today. Number three, remember whose temple you are. Let's be honest. We don't always think, you know, I, unfortunately, fortunately, I married a woman who loves to watch what you eat and work out. And I thought that wasn't enough.

But then God dropped into my, into my heart and into my house, a good friend and his wife who also liked to work out. And I'm like, is this enough? I like my French fries. I like my cookies. I like my stuff.

And now I've got Leon, who's a good friend of mine telling me, dude, you really might want to think about stop eating after six. And I'm like, I rebuked you, Satan, in the name of Jesus. Jesus. I love my bowl of cereal. And he's just trying to help.

I mean, you know, I looked at my wife, I grabbed my little thing of gummy bears. She had some, we don't have, we don't, we're usually, I got grandkids, you know. So she turns around and she's like, you know, you've had a lot of sugar today. You had a lot of sugar today. And I went, you're right.

And I'm going to have some more. She's like, well, Leon did say you should stop after. I'm like, really? Come on. I'm glad you like that.

But in 1 Corinthians 6, 19 and 20, it says, what? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Your body matters to God. Your life matters to God. Your mind, strength, and future matter to God.

So don't despise what God has entrusted you with. He's entrusted us with these physical bodies. What we do with these, God has a plan for your life. God has a plan for your life. He has a mission for you.

Whatever career path or whatever God has told you to do, he does it through the physical you. So maybe that McDonald's isn't great, isn't the greatest thing. I know, I know, I love their fries. I know, I know, yes. But we have to take care of what God has given us.

We have to honor our body. We have to honor our health. We have to honor our strength. And we don't speak about it as though we belong to the devil. I belong to God.

My body belongs to God. And see, when I, when my body and my life belongs to God, everything then becomes in line with him, my future, my mind, my strength. And I declare that today I am a temple of God. See, every, understand this. It doesn't matter what the doctor says.

Because if you're honoring God by, by watching what you eat and how you do things, every organ, every system, every cell, every bone, every function belongs to God. And by honoring and taking care of what it, I'm, I'm taking care and honoring God for what he's entrusted me with. Four says, see strength as a part of your covenant. Too many of us as Christians, we walk around in perpetual weakness as a victim. Our society has been, has taught us, play the victim.

You're the victim. You're weak. It's okay. It's okay. God says no.

Isaiah 40, 31 says, but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Notice what God has promised. He wasn't a suggestion. He said, I promise you this. Renewed strength, not barely enough strength, not just enough strength to survive, but just enough strength to crawl back to where you came from.

Renewed strength every day, every moment. There are seasons in our life that they drain us. I just had a conversation. I said, you know, I said, I'm tired. I'm worn out.

But every day I get up, I get in his word and he gives me that renewed strength. He says, I'm renewing you today because I have a plan for you. Salt Church has a plan. God says, I'm going to give Salt Church renewed strength. We have chosen to remain solid on God's promises.

And it comes down to the individuals and those of us that come here today and say, today is not the day of the end, but today is the day of new beginnings because he has given us renewed strength. He's given us renewed courage, faith, and vision, and endurance, and strength. Every time the enemy would like you to remind you, just as he reminds me, you think you're going to make it, but you're not. You think you're going to go forward, but you're not. But instead, what I do is when I get into the word of God, I go, these are the promises, and those promises will not come back void.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies.

He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God that lies. He is not a God I stand on the promises of his word. See, you may be tired today, but today, tired is not your identity.

You could be weak today, but weakness is not your destiny. Because the word said, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, and they shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Your declaration today should be, God is giving me renewed strength. I have strength for today.

I have strength for tomorrow. I have strength for the assignment and the journey ahead. Therefore, I'm going to keep serving. I'm going to keep building and I'm going to keep going. Another one is your strength will outlast your assignment.

That one kind of hit me a little sideways. Because let's be honest, most pastors and they're growing a church, they're in their 20s or 30s. They're not almost 60. My wife goes easy. I'm married, she's 30, so we'll go from there.

I got more wisdom. I don't know about that. But understand this, God says he's going to give me strength to outlast your assignment. I don't care what the doctor says. I don't care what the tests say.

Because faith isn't determining. My faith determines what my future is, not the diagnosis. I won't live in fear. See, Caleb, in Joshua 14, 11, Caleb said, as yet I am strong this day as I was in the days of Moses that sent me. Think about that.

Caleb had been walking with God for decades. He'd been through battles. He'd been through wilderness sessions. He had been waited and he'd watched an entire generation die. But then there was, there wasn't a moment where he said, well, I'm just getting, I'm old.

I'm going to sit back. I'm going to retire. I'm just going to, I'm going to hang out. I'm going to let somebody younger take this. I'm going to let somebody younger do it.

Caleb said, I'm still strong enough to get, to go get what God has promised me. I told the story that there were many times where I sat there and I said, you know, I'm, I'm, I don't want this. I'm not going to do this. I'm getting older. Some, some young guy could come in and do it and they can do it.

And God said, no, I want you to do it because I'm going to give you renewed strength to outlast the assignment that I've called you for. See, don't count yourself out. Don't count yourself out because of your age, or you think you're too old, or you don't have the, you've been through too many battles, or you're too wounded. The assignment is still for your life. There's, God still has something that he needs you to accomplish.

So our prayer should be, may your strength outlast our assignment. God, give me strength for the final battle. Father, God, give me strength for the final season. Give me strength, God, to finish what you've asked that I start. Because in the end, we go to our next point, and that is, I'm going to go from strength to strength.

In Psalm 84, verse 7, it says, they go from strength to strength. That's the procession, that's the procession of the believer. We don't go from strength to weakness. We don't go from, from faith to fear. We don't go from victory to defeat.

I choose what the Word of God says, and that means I'm going to go from strength to strength. strength. There's going to be seasons that are going to stretch you. There's going to be challenges that are going to test you. But see, understand this, God's going to renew you in every season.

That's why, church, we need to be in the presence of God. This is why we need the Word. This is why we need prayer. This is why we need one another. You don't get this from online.

Let's be honest. See, when I walk in, I may walk in weak, but yet I'm going to walk out strengthened. When I walk in discouraged, I'm going to walk out encouraged. When I walked in saying, I don't know how I'm going to make it, I walk out of church saying, God, you're going to give me what it takes to make it. God reminds me that there's strength in worship.

There's strength in the Word. There's strength in prayer. And when I walk into God's house, I get that. Because I'm walking in and joining hands with other believers that believe the same way. That's where we get our encouragement.

My declaration for today is I'm going from strength to strength. And how am I going from strength to strength? Because I see the finished work of Jesus. That's my foundation for everything. His name.

In Matthew 8, 16 and 17, it says, himself took upon our firm and on our firmities and bear our sickness. We don't need to miss this. He himself took them. He looked, he took what was ours. He carried what we couldn't carry.

He paid a debt that I could not pay. See, that changes everything. God already demonstrated his goodness at Calvary. I don't have to convince, be convinced that Jesus cares because he already proves that he cares. I'm not trying to convince heaven that I'm valuable because the cross already settled the fact that I'm valuable.

See, I pray as somebody redeemed. I pray as somebody purchased. I pray as somebody who belongs to Christ because I don't pray as somebody who was left abandoned. When you settle it that he is the finished work, I know that I'm a child of God. I can walk in his promises.

See, I refuse to carry what Jesus already carried for me. I laid it at his feet. He said, I got this. I've got this. You're my child.

I love you way too much. See, Christ redeemed us from the curse. In Galatians 3, 13, it says, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us. Redemption means that he paid the price for it to bring me out. I don't, I no longer identify with what, I no longer identify but what I was used to being.

I identify myself through Christ because he brought me out. I'm not defined by my past. I'm not defined by my struggle. I'm not defined by what attacks me or what may destroy me. I belong to Jesus.

Jesus. He redeemed me. He purchased me. He called me and he saved me. And most importantly, he loves me.

He calls me his child. He has purpose for my life. Redemption is not merely something I'm waiting to experience. Redemption is my presence, present possession in Christ. He redeemed me.

The enemy would love nothing more than to remind me, I'm a failure, but I'm not. Here's the other key. We have to begin to pray targeted and earnest and faith-filled prayers. Mark 3, 11, 23 says, whosoever shall say to this mountain, be ye removed. Jesus didn't say, talk generally to the mountain.

He said, speak to it. There's a time for a general prayer. But sometimes you have to call the mountain out by name. Sometimes you have to get specific before God. Sometimes you've got to stop praying around the issue and speak directly to the issue.

See, we need to stop praying. We need prayers. Well, you know, Lord, if it be your will, if you, if you, if you, Lord, you see that, that, that Mrs. Janice, she's just sick. And Lord God, we're just going to believe your will.

No, we pray to that. We speak directly to it because God gives us specific instructions. Speak to that mountain and it'll be removed. Speak to the illness. Speak to the disease.

Stand on your faith. Decree and declare. There's a difference between saying a prayer and praying with faith. There's a difference between talking about it. When you think about the mountain and speaking to the mountain, don't pray fearfully.

Don't pray empty words. Pray with faith. Because faith-filled prayers has a voice. Faith speaks. Faith declares.

Faith stands and faith believes. Sometimes faith looks at the mountain and says you will not have the final word. When anxiety kicks in, when panic starts to kick in, when worry starts to kick in, faith has got to speak to that mountain and go, not today. Not today because I'm a child of God. 2,000 years ago, his blood shed and said, it is finished.

I'm done. God, I stand on your word today. I'm not going to believe what the doctors say. Yeah, I see the diagnosis, but the diagnosis isn't where I'm at and it doesn't have me. And we have to pray from a receiving, not from a wondering.

Mark 11, 24 says, What things soever ye desire, ye, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them. Understand this. This is not a blab and grab it. Just let's, let's just put a pin in that and let's park that right there. Well, I laid my hands on that caddy and God didn't give it to me.

You can't afford the car you got. What? You think he's going to give you a caddy? You can't even tithe. Let's just be honest.

God's get, God gives us all things. And he says, what if you're faithful in the, he's going to grant you with the. That's not a parable. That's just truth. If I go out and I bought my kid a, a, a, a, a, a, a, what is it now?

$700 PlayStation. And I turned around and gave it to him and went, here you go. That's probably a lot more than that now. And he didn't take care of it or he didn't do anything for it. And he goes, Hey dad, you know, I need a new one.

Do you think I'm going to go buy him a new one? You didn't even take out what you had. See, there's a difference when we pray, God, I wonder if you'll do it. And praying, Father, I believe your word. Do you believe what he, what do you believe what's in his word?

Well, I just, I know that, that if it's his will, if it's just, if it's his will. Really? Because where I read in the Bible, it says that he's my Jehovah Jireh. He's my Jehovah Rapha. I take him at his word.

I'm going to believe him. I'm thanking God because his word is settled. I'm thanking him because his character is trustworthy. I'm thanking him because his promises are true. And I'm thanking him because Jesus has already finished the work.

My declaration is I belong to God. My body belongs to God. My life belongs to God. My future belongs to God. Whatever mountain stands before me, I'm going to speak to it.

Whatever you're going through today, speak to that mountain. I remember just as a story, and she's not here so I can embarrass her. She'll catch it online. Years ago when we first moved here, and for some of you I probably told this story, but I'll tell it again. My wife had to take our youngest daughter to the dentist, and she was getting some teeth work done and getting some work done.

And the dentist came out, and he took the x-rays, and he says, we have a problem. And he puts up the x-rays, and this is back when they had the film, and he puts the x-rays up, and he said, you see her teeth, and you see right just the space between her nose and where the top of her mouth was. He says, see that? He goes, that's concerning. It was about the size of, what, a nickel?

It was about the size of a quarter. He says, that has all the looks of a tumor. And he said, Miss Porter, he goes, he says, I don't know what to do. He says, take her to go get some x-rays. Let's get it all taken care of.

He said, because if we have to remove it, there's only one way to remove it. And it wasn't a good way. So she called me, and she said, this is what's going on. And we began to pray. She went and did the CAT scans and took everything and did everything.

And so she had another appointment set up with the doctor, and the doctor said, okay, well, we're going to run. I want to just make sure we're going to go ahead, and we're going to do another x-ray. So before they walked in, before my wife and my daughter walked into the doctor's office, she turned around to my daughter and she said, Hannah, do you believe that God can hear you, heal you? And she said, yeah, Mommy, I believe that. She goes, and we're going to pray.

And I believe that God's going to heal you. So they bowed and they prayed. And they said, God, we're believing that this is taken care of. We decree and declare today this is taken care of. So they walked in, and the doctor went ahead, and he took another panoramic shot of her head.

And he comes in, and he's in a panic. And my wife's like, oh, this can't be good. So he pulls out the x-ray, and he puts the new x-ray up, and it's gone. And he says, I don't understand this, Ms. Porter.

He takes the old one. He goes, he puts the old one up next to the new one. He said, here it is. He said, Ms. Porter, it's gone.

And immediately, immediately, she turns with the doctor in the office. And she turns, and Hannah goes, what's going on, Mommy? She said, honey. She said, what do we pray? She said that God would take it away.

She said, honey, it's gone. It's gone. It's gone. The doctor looked at her, and he goes, I don't know how that happened. And my wife looks at the doctor, and she goes, I know how this happened.

She goes, I prayed that God would take care of it. God can do that. God can do that. My best friend, one of my best friends, sat in a hospital room with me. And the doctor said, you shouldn't be alive.

And we stood. There were 12 of us that stood in a hospital room and said, God, you have the final say. You have the final say. We sang praises and gave God the glory for what we didn't believe and say, God, we didn't say, well, God, you know, you're going to heal. We said, no, God, you've already started the healing process.

You've already completed the healing process. And we're going to praise you right here and right now for the victory. Stand to your feet with me. See, we've got to go from strength to strength. I may not know who holds.

I may not know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I know who holds tomorrow. I may not know the circumstances about what may take place tomorrow, but I can guarantee you I know who does. There's an old song we used to sing, and I'm probably going to butcher it. See if I can pull it up. I just, I pulled it up this morning and God, God hit me up with it.

And then I was like, man, that just spoke to me. And it said, we used to sing this song and it says, because he lives, I can face tomorrow. Because he lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, yes, I know, he holds the future. Because life is worth the living just because he lives.

He lives. He lives. He lives. Give him 30 seconds of praise. Praise you, Lord God.

Father God, thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus. Thank you, Lord God, for living, Lord God. Thank you for the victory, Lord God, that we receive today. Father God, thank you, Lord God, for what you've already accomplished.

Thank you, Lord God, that I live from strength to strength. Thank you, God, because it's not about the diagnosis. It's already about the victory. Thank you, Lord God. I thank you, Jesus.

Father God, we decree and declare today healing, Lord God, from anxiety. We decree and declare freedom, Lord God, from disease right now in the name of Jesus. Cancer will bow. Diabetes will bow. Praise him, church.

Praise him. Give him thanks. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Jesus. Glory, glory, glory.

Because you live, Lord God, because you live, Lord God, I know who holds tomorrow. I don't have to worry about tomorrow. We're going to reiterate today. Wherever ails you, right here, right now, you're going to walk out. We are decreeing and declaring that today you will walk out in freedom.

Today. We are serving notice to the enemy that it stops today. You will no longer have the victory. With every eye closed and every eye, every head bowed, whatever is ailing you, whether it's on your body, you take that right hand and you place it whatever hurts. If it's your mind, place it on your head.

Place it, Lord God, and just begin to decree and declare, I can't do it for you. I can't do it for you, but I know who can. I know who can. Because he stood on that cross 2,000 years ago, and he said, it is finished. Depression's got to go.

Autism's got to go. Heavenly Father, we thank you, Lord God, right now for what you're going to do. Father, what you've already done. Father, we're not going to sit here and wait. We believe right now in the name of Jesus.

Father, for those ailments, they're touching their bodies right now, Father God. Right now, let the anointing flow right now in the name of Jesus. I decree and declare healing right now. Diabetes, go. Cancer, go.

Anxiety, go. Headaches, go. Gone in the name of Jesus. Father God, we give you all the glory and the honor. Father God, we look as a church for next week to come back and hear, Lord God, the victories, Lord Jesus.

Father God, I thank you, Jesus. Help us to walk in divine healing right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus, we claim healing. We decree and declare healing right now in the name of Jesus. Father God.

Father God. We don't know, Lord God, what's going to happen tomorrow, but we know who holds tomorrow in his hand. My circumstances will not dictate, Lord God. I will serve you. I love you, Lord God, for everything that you're doing in our lives right now.

I thank you for Salt Church, Father God. I thank you for the victories that have yet to come. Father God, I pray right now that your spirit would dwell in this place, in this house of prayer. And praise right now in the name of Jesus. Praise you, Lord God.

Hallelujah, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Help us to go from strength to strength. Help us to, Lord God, to give us the wherewithal to pray prayers, Lord God, of authority in the name of Jesus. Help us, Lord God, to be the enemy's worst nightmare.

Father, I thank you for what you're going to do. I give you glory and I give you honor. I thank you for the healing, Lord God. I thank you for financial prosperity, Lord God. I thank you for healing mentally and physically right now.

I thank you for it. I just thank you, Lord God. I just believe you're going to do something, Lord God. I believe it. Your word said it.

That settles it. I don't have to think about it. I don't have to worry about it. I give it to you right now in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father.

I praise you, Father. Lord, as we go forth today, Lord God, I pray that you would bless all the activities of the day. Bless family time, Lord God. Father God, I just thank you for those that could not be here, Lord God. Father, I thank you, Lord God.

I praise you right now, Lord God, for the miracles that are going to be happening. Thank you, Father. I praise you, Father. We thank you, Jesus. We give you glory and we give you honor in your name.

Amen and amen. Give him a praise. Give him a hand cap of praise. Hallelujah, Lord. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus. Praise you, Lord. Well, I know that that was probably something a little bit different, but that is something that the Lord laid on my heart. You have the authority, church.

You have the authority. You are not weak, need, squishy Christians. It's time. Take authority over the battle that God has put your feet in. You take up your sword.

You grab it with both hands and you start swinging and start hacking. Get into the word and start getting the word in you. Amen? Amen. Amen.

I love you guys. Again, breaking barriers this evening. We will be doing our Bible study on Wednesday at Palons. We've had some really good times. We've had some really good times.

Thank you, Martine. I want to thank you for that and suggestion. And Greg, you guys have been awesome. Thursday night, if you need prayer, come on out. Come on out.

Just, God, God's here. We're going to lay hands on you. We're going to pray for you. We're going to believe. Continue to believe and push forward.

God is not a God that He lies. He looks at you. He loves you. He cares about you. And He wants to see you successful in everything that you do.

And we're going to believe as a church, we are going to salt you up with prayer and anointing. And we are going to send you out. Amen? Amen. Father God, bless them.

May your face shine upon them. Anoint their feet. Anoint their hands. Father God, we pray you would prosper them. Give them great influence.

Father, give all of us an opportunity to share your word and be the children of the Most High God. Help us to be an example. In your name we pray. Amen and amen. Go with God.

He's going with you.
